LEAPS TO DEATH FRO.tf PORCH Former Hampton County .Han Takes Fatal Plunge in Savannah. I Savannah. Ga.. June 0.?Richard Emory Davis, for *Mrty-five years a member of The Savannah police force, today leaped from the s ccnd story porch of the Savannah hospital, dying an hour later f-om injuries sustained in the fall. His skull was crushed. He was a native of Hampton county. South Carolina, and a veteran of the civil war. For a number of years he was s'rgeant of police. here. Th? funeral will be held to-. morrow afternoon. THREATEN CONFLICT. j i Jialkan Disputants Stand Stul?bornIy By Their Guns.?War Is Imminent Say Experts. London, .Tune 9.?With both sides stubborn in refusing to make the slightest concession, -war between the Balkan States is hourly becoming more imminent. If Bulgaria sends a negative repiy io uie Servian noie ?and nothing indicates that sh-? will I answer otherwise?Fervia and Greece will proclaim the annexation of the occupied Macedonian territories, ! thereby establising a definite casus ' belli. I The only hopeful feature of the situation consists in the belief that Bulgaria is lacking the sin \vs o* war. Servia and Greece are not only bet- ' ter situated in his respect, but also ! occupy superior strategical positions. These facts probably account for the jalmn^ss with which Servia appar- ; ently regards the prospects of war. The final session of the peace conference was li 1 d today at St. James' palace and ended without anything being decided as to ':he exchange of prisoners or other matters. The delegates agreed to leave outstanding questions to their respective governments. Each of the Balkan delegations advised its government to conclude a separate convention with Turkey. The Montenegerin delegate who presided at today's session delivered a J speech of farewell. Had the peace conference lasted longer there would have been few i delegates to attend it, as Dr. S. Dan- ! eff, representing Bulgaria, left some 1 days aso and the two principal Ser- i vLmi delegates wer? hastily recalled 'to Belgrade yesterday. SEEKS PHESIPE\TAL AID. Governor IJlease Asks Government to nei]> iimi amorce Liquor i Laws. __ I Columbia, .Tune 9.?In a letter to President Woodrow Wilson, of the United Staors. today Governor Blease : pi-ads with him ro instruct the revenue commission not to issue any more internal revenue licenses in i South Carolina to retail liquor deal- j ers, declaring that such a course1 I would assist him greatly in enforcing' the liquor laws. If th:re is no ; authority at present to refuse to tesu-e such licenses the governor asks the president to send a special message to congress urging the enactment of such a law. "The United States government can % i be a great moral and legal force in helping to enforce the liquor laws in i this State, instead of, as at present, | countenancing their violation," says the governor in his letter. He says : that when he gets to the senate he ' will introduce such a bill. His letter in full follows* "Columbia, S. C., June 9, 1913. "His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson, President of tthe United States, Washington, D. C.?Dear Sir: I have positive information that there are now in this State several panties holding licenses from the United States government as retail liquor dealers, and I am informed that these licenses will expire on the 30th of this month. As | you know, Souitb Carolina has a sta- i lute which prohibits the sale of whiskey, wine or beer, except in eight counties, in which whiskey is sold by j the county dispensaries, and any per- j son, firm or corporation engaging in the sale of any whiskey, win-e, beer malt or vinous liquors, save the legally authorized dispensaries in these 8 counties, is guilty of a misdemeaner. Still, the United States government has been and is yet continuously licensing people other than dispensers j in the counties which have dispen-; earies, and people within th-e coun- j ties which have legal prohibition, to j violate the law of this State by becoming retail liquor dealers. "It does seem ito mo that you could "be of great assistance to me in the I enforcemen- of the liquor laws of this ' State if vou would instruct your Tni- i i ted States cc,r??ni:"P;'uior of internal revenue not to grant license to any I person, firm or corporation in his State, exc pt the license? necessary lor the legal dispen., s, to engage in the business of retail or wholesale liquor dealer, and by instructing your United States marshals to see that any person, firm or corporation selling whiskey, wine or beer in violation of law shall be tried and tmnished by the ! United States court. "If, after investigation by your at- ! torney general, it should be found that there is any provision of law requiring the issuance of licenses, to ])- ople giving them the right, so far as the federal government is concerned, to violate the Sta>:e law, then 1 would suggest that you could be of j great assistance if, in a special mes- j sage to congress you would urg-sj the passage of a law remedying this j detect to wnicn I nave caiiea your attention. "Of course under no condition or circumstances, would I put myself in the position of suggesting that I might want to dictate to your excellency or -even to suggest to you anything that would be unpleasant, but /Irvrvr* cnrim f r\ n o c? O nrn'ofn iiu UUL'i ocelli LU I lie, ao iX i > UtV/ ViUzen of the United Stat-s of America, and as governo~ of *be greatest Statein the American Union, that it is in-1 consistent for the United States government >:o license people to violate a State law, so far as the United States government is concerned, saying to them, you haTe our license to violate the Stat? law without interference from us. It is true the licenses the federal government grants I arc only to sell uncle* the federal laws, but, at the same time, the holders of these licenses, when they apply j for them, give notice that they intend co violate the laws of our State. Therefore it c-ertainly seems to me that the United Stages officials ought to say 'Xo, your State law prohibits the sale by you of thiise goods and we do not propose to make 'ourselves parties *to your violation of the State law by guaranteeing you immunity from prosecution in our courts if you do violate the State law.' In other words, the United States government c-ertainly can be of great moral and legal force in helping to enforce the liquor laws in this State, instead of, as at present, countenancing their violation. "There are a great many social clubs in this State today?so-called social clubs?which I am satisfied # would not dare attempt to violate the State law without a Federal revenuelicense for the sale of whiskey. "I hope that I have not made this ! letter too hngthy, and that I hav-s J made myself clear. When I get :o . the United Stares senate, if some ac- j tion has not been taken befor? that j time, I shall introduce a bill along j this line, but I do not conceive that it I is necessary ;o w?_'t a year and a half or two years for the government j to take this action along tin line of the aw, of justice, ?nd of morals. "Very respetfully, "Cole L. Blease, "Governor." TIIE COOLEST DAY FOR FLORIDA i "Land of Flowers" Cliilled by Temperature of 52.

Constantinople, June 11.?Mahmoud Schefkdt Pasha, the Turkish grand vizier and minister of war, was shot and killed by assassins today. His i aide de camp, Ibrahim Bey, was also j killed. Prince Said Halim, foreign j minister and ex-president of the coun- j cil of State, has been appointed grand j vizier ad interim. All the other ministers retain their portfolios. A man was cast ashore on an unknown island and found a high state of civilization. Artists painted beautiful pictures and singers sang mar- j velous songs. To them h-e paid trib- ! ute.

A bartender, writing an article entitled, "What a Man Will Do for a | Drink," in ilie American .Magazine, tells the following story: "I had one customer wlio was a puzzle to me. '"He was a whisky drinker?a hard one. Recently he began to call for port wine. Th change made me curious. He tame in one day cold sober. " 'Jim,' he said, 'I'm dead broke. I want a drink. I may never pay you for it, but can I have it? "I looked at him in surprise. He was clean, well dressed, close shaven and sober. "'Sure, what'll i" be?' I inquired. " 'Port wine.' 0 "If he had asked for whisky, brandy, anything else, I would not have given it a thought. But I could not conceive of any one begging for a 5 per cent alcoholic drink which was sweet. He took the glass of wine, sipped a little from it, took a small vial of ether from his pocket, floated the eth^r on the wine, and gulped it down In a few minutes he was mauldin, piti fully drunk. He recovered in a shorl Time, and went for a walk, returning ' inside of an hour to beg for another glass of port. The fumes of the ether had cleared away, and he was sober. . I asked him why he took that stuff. ( "The confession he made amazed , me. in spite of my long association with drunkards. He loved to get drunk . and drank with the set purpose of be- ( coming drunk. He loved whisky, but the firm that emploved him gave him liio /-.1-irkir.Q r?f wh ?<slr V DT their I JL11 O V/X VjUicviiip ?? , employ. He quit whiskey. On his day off he wanted to get drunk as quickly as possible, and, as be said 'enjoy himself:' so he had evolved the ether drunk. He died about two months la- , ter, and the coroner kindly said heart discase." , Mermaids and Manatees. In semitropical waters of America there disports a member of that family of aquatic mammals, in which has been ascribed the mermaid myth. Related to the dugong and now extinct rhytina, we still have the manatee. The name is preferred by some to ' manatee under the impression that the latter is the plural of the Latin "manatus" (furnished -with hands,) "hough the name is probably of Mandingo origin. The manatee is a herbivorous mammal inhabiting the shallows about the coasts of Florida, Mexico, Central America and the West Indies. It is not known to attempt the open sea and does not possess the ability to come ashore. This animal is somewhat whale-like in shape, with a horizontal tail fin. It is from eight to twelve feet in length, the body being scantily cov J ?T'Vi nnlxr limbo ATP ereu wiui nan. xnc uu.j . the fore flippers, low on the side of the body. This flipper has no fingers; it ' does possesses., though, three flat nails and has a free motion in all directions from the shoulder; the elbow and wrist approximate the human anatomy in movement With this crude resem- :' blance to an arm the manatee has been ! i said to carry its young. While thoji statement is not authentic, it is quite; believable, its possibility being vouch- ! i ed for by all observers of the arm in i Ah'nn f j IIAV/l 1UI1.
