ARIZONA PASSES ALIEN LAND LAW
Governor Sierns Hill Which Prohibits
Alien From Owning* Land If He
Is Not a Citizen.
Phoenix, Ariz., May 16.?Governor
Hunt signed today Arizona's new
alien bill. It prohibits any alien,
> whether of Caucasian "or .Mongunau
descent from owning land in Arizona
if he has not declared his intention of
\ becoming a citizen.
The law bars not only Asiatics,
who cannot become citizens, but also
many wealthy Mexicans who live on
the American side of the line, but
^ who have maintained their allegiance
to Mexico.
jV A vigorous fight was made to have
the bill apply only to aliens ineligible
to citizenship that Mexican holders of
property in Arizona would not be af
' i J
fected. There are few Japanese noiaing
property in the State, but many
Chinese hole titles and these, like the
non-citizens among the Mexicans will
be required to dispose of the real estate
within five years.
The law exempts only mining claims
held by aliens or real property neces?sary
to the proper working of mines.
Representative Japanese conferred
with the governor in an effort to induce
him to veto the bill, but he declined
on the ground that such a law
in thp interests of the
WclS U^v-cooaij
white race. The governor added that
the law was made to apply to all aliens
in compliance with the wishes of the
National administration as expressed
to the California legislature.
PISTOL DUEL IX KITCHEX.
p Steward at Converse Collesre Shoots
Xesrro.?"Wound 31 ay Prove
Fatal.
Spartanburg. May 15.?Two hundred
young ladv students were badly
frighten-ed, 20 negro waitresses were
thrown into a panic and the principals
L were each wounded as the result of
\ a pistol duel between J. D. Cheshire,
* -white, and John Mayes, a negro, in
J the kitchen of Converse college this
morning. Cheshire's wounds, while
painful, are not serious. Mayes' condition
at first was regarded as criti
cal, but this evening an attendant
physician said that he had an even
chance to recover.
J D. Cheshire is the steward at the
college 2nd Mayes was one of the
A helpers in the kitchen. For some time
Mr. Cheshiie had noticed invasions
on the pantry supply of provisions and
as the result Mayes was discharged
Wednesday. Today about the break
fast hour at Converse college Mayes
appeared in the kitchen and demanded
his v\i?^s due. Mr. Cheshire, anticipating
no trouble, went over the
account and handed the negro the
money that was coming to him.
Having handed Mayes the money,
Mr. Cheshire is said to have made a
k v remark to the effect, ''That's right,
t ^ isn't it? We won't have any trouble."
It is alleged Mayes replied, while
standing within three cr four feet of
r Cheshire. "Xo, we won't have any
trouble," and producing a revolver
opened fire on the steward at close
range. Cheshire grabbed the pistol as
the negro leveled it and before it was
discharged, and as he covered the
muzzle with his left hand the ball entered
the fiesh and passed through.
His hand was also badly burned by
? the powder. Mayes, by a desperate
wrench, managed to get his gun hand
,nftco tpnt nn firing. Realizing
lVVOt. UUS4 *?vrv w
what he was up against, Cheshire
drew his own pistol and began firing.
In all Mayes fired four shots, two
of which took effect, oae in the left
hand of Cheshire and the other strikv
ing his breast bone and deflecting.
Mr. Cheshire fired five times, -each bul
let taking effect in the negro's Doay,
^ three entering Mayes' left arm above
m the elbow and shattering the limb,
^ one bullet entering the left shoulder
and the remaining one striking the
breast and ranging downward. It is
the latter ball that may prove fatal.
Shortly after the shooting Sheriff
White and Deputy Sheriff Vermon arrived
at the college and placed Mr.
Cheshire under arre't Mayes was
carried to a hospital, wnere ne was
, s attended by physicians, who dressed
his wounds. His condition is not such
as to make him apprehensive. Later
on Mr. Cheshire was carried to the
office of Magistrate Gantt, where he
gave bond in the sum of $1,000, his
sureties being Prof. B. 0. Hutchison
of Converse college and E. L. Everett.
The steward will claim self-defense
as the reason for his shooting John
Mayes. It is said that the negro
^ baker at the college made the state
IIIM1L lUd(. iuaj\.j} iui uit. n ard
and at the same time showed the
baker his pistol. That -was Wednesday
afternoon. At the time of the
shooting there "were several of the
cooks and assistants in the kitchen,
and it is claimed they are all of the
same mind, that Hayes opened firt on
Mr. Cheshire. Th-e negro was evidenti
ly disgruntled at his discharge and
i went to his former place of employj
ment armed.
j J. >1. RICHARDSON SENT TO JAIL
Former Candidate For Adjutant and
Inspector general Arrested.?Arson
is the Charge.
Aiken, May 16.?Capt. J. M. Richard]
son, a candidate for adjutant general
three years ago, and until recently a
member of the staff of the governor,
was arrested today on a warrant
charging him with arson. The warrant
was sworn out by B. A. Wharton
a d-eputy from the office of F. H.
McMaster, State insurance commis
&1UUC1 .
Before daybreak Saturday morning,
Airil 19, a barn and storehouse belonging
to Mrs. J. M. Richardson
were destroyed by fire. The buildings
destrr*v-ed were on the lot on which
the Richaids<.Tis reside. In addition
t<; this teing the third fire on the
Richardson pitmises within the past
few years, an affidavit made by Martha
Frazier, a negro woman, alleg-ss
that on Thursday, a few days before
the fire, she stored with Capt. Rich
ardson a lot of furniture and houseI
old goods; that the morning after the
firu she was told by Capt. Richardson
that her goods had been desrroy;
ed; that learning that her effects had
I beer, removed the day before the fire
j to Capt. Richardson's farm a few
| miles in the country, she located these
j and under claim and delivery proceeding
regained possession of them. Rich;
ardson had insurance in the sum of
, $600 which he collected without diffi|
culty.
j Deputy Wharton has been in Aiken
I investigating events connected with
I the fire for the past week cr ten
days.
Capt. Richardson was placed in jail
today and stated late this afternoon
that the charges against him are *y
a "frame-up." He attributes his arrest
to politics and persecution. He
states that the furniture which tneFrazier
woman stored with him had
been taken under a mortgage held by
R. B. Carter, but that the woman had
paid the mortgage and he naa endeavored
to get her to move her goods*
and explained that a part of her
goods had been removed to his farm
several months ago because he had
no room for them in town.
I Until a short while ago Capt. Richlardson
was commander of the local
military company, the Aiken Rifles,
which was mustered out of service a
few months ago. In the buildings
which were burned he had stored a
lot of property belonging to tbe military
company, and when the firemen
arrived they were prevented from
fighting the fire by the explosion of a
large number of cartridges which endangered
their lives. Capt. Richardson
sustained a slight injury by the
I ?
explosion of one of these cartridges.
A preliminary hearing will be held
tomorrow morning at which time
Capt. Richardson will apply for bail.
PAROLED "TO BECOME CITIZEN."
Kansan, Aeed 30, H:is Spent 23
Years in Prison.
Topeka, Kas., May 15.?Arthur Patten,
who, at 30 has spent twentythree
years in Kansas prisons, left
' * ncirnlpd
the penitentiary weuucBuaj, ^ui v*v?
to a farm "to become a citizen." At
the age of 7 Patten stole a 33 watch
and was sent to the State reformatory
as an incorrigible. Paroled after four
years., he entered a farmer's house in
Osage county, where he had vainly
sought work, and ate food he found
in the pantry. Caught, he was compelled
to finish his reformatory sentence
and then suffer sentence to the pen
for second degr-ee burglary.
Governor Hodges acted promptly
when he harned the circumstances
"Society has committed a crime
! against Patten," he said.
ODD FELLOW'S ORPHANAGE.
A. E. Kline Superintendent of The
Institution.?Plant Will be Enlarged.
Anderson, May 15.?The Odd Fellows.
Orphanage, located near Greenville,
will not be closed. On the contrary
the scope of the home will he
enlarged and henceforth, it will be
run on a firm, business-like financial
basis. This was the decision of the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in annual
convention here today.
The majority report, providing for
closing the home and placing orphans
* L* ? at
in tne denominational vi ??.ua..u.?&w ?
the expense of the Grand Lodge, and
the minority report providing for the
continuance of the home near Greenville,
and urging a more liberal support,
were discussed before the Grand
Lodge this morning.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
and with several resolutions, dealing
] with orphanage affairs before the
body, the matter was recommitted to
;thc same committee for deliberation,
! and a new report.

The nev%* report provided that the ori
ti
phanage be continued; that a competent
superintendent be engaged and
; that he be required to give satisfactory
bond for the faithful performance
of his duties, and that the superintendent
make monthly reports to the
board of trustees in itemized form
I showing the receipts and expenditures
and detailing the outstanding indebtedness.
The report further recommends
that the trustees be required
to make quarterly reports to the grand
secretary, who, in turn, shall submit
copies of the same among the subordinate
lodges.

to the subordinate lodges to adopt

them in the orphanage of the order at
Greenville. The report and recommendations
of the committee were adopted
practically unanimously by the Grand
Lodge.
A. E. Kline, Superintendent.
i . A. E. Kline, of Greenville, wo has
i
i been connected with an Odd Fellows'
> orphanage in Kansas, was elected su
i perintendent by the Grand Lodge anu
j among his duties specified he will visit
j all the subordinate lodges in company
with the grand secretary as associate
State organizer to organize
new lodges, to revive defunct and dormant
lodges and to solicit cash and
pledges for the support of th-e orphanage.
When this actio:.i was :al:en one
I earnest member of the Grand Lodg?
IV
arose and asked the men present to
show their love for the orphanage in
dollars and cents. A collection was
taken, which amounted to $100. The
Odd Fellows of Richland county
agreed to pay $400 of the $2,500 inid-fbtedness
of the orphanage ar.d the
Greenville lodges pledged to pay $300.

S. A. B. Langley, of Columbia,
was elected on the board in the
governor's place.
I The speech of Governor Blease on
the orphanage matter, when he arraigned
severely T. U. Vaughn, former
superintendent of the orphanage for
his base conduct, had telling effect
in the movement to keep open the orphanage.
After the newly elected officers were
installed the Grand Lodge adjourned.
Surveyors Are At Work.
Spjartanburg Herald.
A surveying corps, thought to be
j working und-er orders of the chief
* r>?nAn,ri*]iQ Q-rtorrnri
i engineer 01 me uiccimm,,
1 burg and Anderson railway, have
been running lines from Saxon mills
in a south and southeasterly direction,
i The appearance of these surveyors has
i occasioned considerable conjecture,
j It has been advanced that a line is
being mapped out from Saxon Mills
to Roebuck for connection with th-e
Glenn Springs right of way to Glenn
Springs, and thence to a connection
with the Seaboard Air Line at Prides.
"This appears to be reasonable,"
; said a business man this morning,
"and it is probable," he continued,
"that the Interurban has seen a good
opening for further activities and are
availing themselves of it."
To those who are interested in the
grading of a 7.ine from Spartanburg
to Glenn Springs, thence to Cross
Anchor, this is encouraging news, but
on the other hand there are many
who desire to see the line connect
with Glenn Spring\ via Cedar
Springs and Walnut Grove. It is pos!
sible that the line from Saxon to
Roebuck is one of several surveys
which will be made tending to the
building of this line.
n ?. - - -Nobody
Knowi But God.
When R-epresentative Mann, repub,
lican floor leader in the house, rose
I
! to object to a certain democratic bin
tye remarked that his opponents had
forgotten the pledges made in their
campaign platform. Their performance,
he said, reminded him of a little
boy who memorized an inspiring
poem to be delivered at some public
exercises given in the town school,
relates the Sunday Magazine.
- - ?
"Nobody knows but God, and me.
began the little boy, advancing boldly
down stage.
Then he repeated in a thrilling voice
"Nobody knows but God and me."
Again there came a pause, and locking
his left leg round his right, and
squirming in mental agony, the boy
screamed.
It was the first tragedy of his young
ttoc
life. A lump as big slg an appjc
in his throat. He -aced disaster and
failure, 6tark, immutable, and grim. In
one last despairing effort, he yelled:
"And nobody knows but. God."
