( Washington, July 8. ? Published charges that the President had been induced by three people, his brother, the then Secretary of the Interior, Ballinger, and Richard Ryan, of New York, a representative of the Guggenheim interest to restore to the public domain lands surrounding Controller Bay, in Southern Alaska, met with quirk t action in Congress to-day. The House Committee on Kxpenditure8 headed by Representative Graham, of Illinois, immediately oumiiiuuuu r reu riiint'ii, ui me Ufiieral Land Office, to appear before the committee Monday to explain j what he knows about the matter, and Representaiive Cox, of Indiana, one of the Democratic leaders of the| House introduced a resolution calling on President Taft, for all the information he can furnish the House on the subject. This information is to include the reason why he signed the order of restoration t after the land had been set aside 1 as a reserve and whether he knew knew Ryan was working in the interest of the Guggenheims. "I am going to push this resolution," said Representative Cox. I "If the Rules Committee fails to act, I will bring it up on the floor of the House. There is something j radically wrong about this whole I transaction. Balked by the refusal I of the government to allow the Cun-( ningham coal land claim, this gang ! in Wall street is evidently determined to secure control of the coal | land. They filed on the Controller \ Bay land, the only available harbor which the Alaskan coal can be shipped, before the government could even have it surveyed after the President's order withdrawing it from the Chugah reserve. Failing to secure the land they have now gone after the only means of transporting coal and with a railroad from the coal lands to Controller Bay they could absolutely dictate to the owners of the coal lands." I>enial from Ballinger. Seattle, Wash., July 8. ? Former Secretary of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger, to-day received the Washington dispatch concerning Representative Cox's resolution, and said: "No representation was ever made to the President by me in the interest of Richard S. Ryan, or any synidcate in connection with the land of Controller Bay, but 1 did advise President Taft not to release the lnllriR anlicllt tnr tnrminnl f'i cilities. I recommended that if \ any lands were eliminated from the National forest, they should be eliminated. As far as the entire frontage of Controller Bay was concerned, in a body, leaving to operate the law which reserves every alternate 80 rods of water front to the government. "So far as Mr. Ryan is concerned, I never had any business dealings with him." BLEA8K SPEAKS AT FLORENCE. (ioremor Makes Address to State Rural Carriers ? Florence, July 3. ? Special: Governor Cole L. Blease spent today in Florence. He came here to make an address to the State Rural Letter Carriers and incidentally to spend the day. He addressed the carriers at noon and this afternoon was entertained by a number of Florintines. After the Carrier's Convention, a photograph of the members was made of that in front of the post umce uuiiaing. rineen or rne carriers stood in the line with their motorcycles, and Governor Blease stood in the centre of the group grasping the handle bars. He was later taken in charge of by the Hon. J. Willard Ragsdale, and was shown the points of interest about town, including the State's industrial school, where he had the opportunity of viewing one of the nuroi IIUJJJ5 ui turn IU ue IU11II (1 III South Carolina. The Governor left for the Up-State at 8 o'clock where he will bake an address to-morrow. A feature of the Governor's address to the carriers to-day was the statement that he "will be Governor for the next three years." diks from his wounds Jule B. Hamer, Who Was Shot.

News and Courier. After spending at least five hours in the grip of the treacherous mud on the border of the Ashley River, off the foot of Bee street, Gracie Linsey, a negro "mammy," about 55 years of age, was rescued from her perilous pre- j dicament by Privates Eaton and I Weirman, of the police force, and ; subsequently sent to the Cny Hos- i pital in a police ambulance. The policemen extricated the woman only after hard work and considerable risk to themselves, being obliged. to lay a bridge of narrow planks across the dangerous quicksand, in which the unfortunate woman had sunk almost to her chin. The old "mammy was taken from me <]uu-K*anci anout noon yesterday, half dead with fear and covered with mud. She was cleaned thoroughly by the officers, dressed in some fresh clothes lent her by another negro woman, and as her actions then were so queer as to excite a suspicion of possible insanity, she was carried to the City Hospital in a police ambulance. She is at the hospital now, and it is feared that the terrible mental strain which she underwent while being drawn down into the slimy mud minute by minute has caused her to lose her mind. Mistaken For Crane. According to the story told at police headquarters last night, Mrs. Welsh, who lives at No. 8 Chinquapin street, states that as early as 6:30 yesterday morning she an ouject in ine mud OI the Ashley river off the foot of Bee street. She says that she saw it move several times, and,thinking that it was a big crane, or heron, | of the kind common to the mud flats, paid no more attention to, it although she noted with surprise that it did not seem to move. Shortly after 11 o'clock she culled her husband's attention to I the object, and he, taking a pair of I field glasses, made the startling discovery that it was not an anij mal, but a human being. All that j he could see was a negro's head, I bound up with a cloth turban, I such as is used by the typical i Charleston "mammy." He hastily i called up the police station and no1 tified them of his discovery, and Privates Eaton and Weirmann were i sent to the scene. By the time the policemen arriv| ed the report had spread through{ out the neighborhood, and there j was a crowd of negroes gathered on me snore ana eagerly watching the woman, but making absolutely no effort to save her. She was stuck in the mud about twenty-five feet from the edge of the marsh and the marsh was over fifty feet across and considered unsafe to walk on, it looked as if the woman would have to die. Policemen Kffect Rescue. The two policemen, however, thought differently. Mr. H. Fishbeck, of No. 4 6 President street, who owns a wood yard at the foot of Bee street, told them where there was a pile of 20 foot timbers, each plank of which was about two inches thick, and the officers at once devised a temporary pontoon passageway to the seemingly doomed woman. Lifting the planks, and obtaining the assistance of several I negro men, whose courage revived the minute a leader appeared, they placed the timbers end to end across the marsh gradually approaching the woman. Both of the policemen, who were leading, several times fell into the dangerous slime as they progressed along their perilous pathway. On reaching the aera of open mud they found the danger greater, and at times they were forced to put three and even four planks on top of each other, as the first ones sank several inches deep into the soft mud. Finally, however, thpv rPfl phorl t ho iwnmun V? much difficulty extricated her and then carried her into safety. Pitiable Sight. She presented a pitiable sight as she reached the shore. Broken down and nearly demented, she looked pathetic, even though, despite the seriousness of the situation, there was something humerous in her appearance, the black pluff mud sticking to her several inches deep. The officers carried her into the grounds of a small dairy near the foot of the street, where the near tragedy occurred, and with the assistance of a negro woman, and a supply of old clothes, the old woman was washed carefully and redressed. She was then carried to the hospital. Although her stories of the accident differ widely, the one to wihich she clings most persistently is that a man lured her into a boat with him before the tide went out, and then threw her overboard. Who the man was and what was his motive are not known. Re*. E. C. Bhlley has gone to the mountains of North Carolina for his health and there will be no preaching in the Hamer church Sunday. The season for Sunday accidents is at hand. Look out!

Santa Barbara, Cal., July 8?In spite of assertions from company of- w ficials and ship officers to the con- h trary the passengers of the wreck- ii ed steamer Santa Rosa, who ar- n rived here to-day, after a thrill- x ing battle with the breakers that p smashed the stranded ship, declare a that more than four persons lost n their lives. a One hundred and ninety-two pas- j sengers are all that have been ac-j 'counted for so far, say the surviv-j d i ors. There were -00 passengers 1 ii on the steamer and many of the 11 rescued declare to-day that at least j v some of the missing ones went down jb to death when surf battered life p rafts went to pieces. The relief train bearing the res- _ cued passengers of the wreeked h steamship Santa Rosa, arrived in ti Santa Rosa, arrived in Santa Bar- t bara to-day and discharged a piti- t ful fright of hysteric women and y half-clad, shivering men. Suffering and privation were written plainly f on tne faces of all and it will be weeks and in some cases months bet ore some of the victims recover. e All had been drenched to the skin t in coming ashore in the breeches i buoy in the high surf and none had j anything to eat since the noon meal t I yeseeruay on ooard tne snip ex- t eept a hasty lunch and a cup of i coffee provided by the sympathetic t larmers who thronged to the beach \ from their nearby homes when the vessel began to break up. 11 Many were too weak to leave the f cars unassisted and a half dozen had c to be carried from the train on t stretchers. Hardly one of the pas- ^ rengers was fully clothed. The j greater part of them were wrapped t mi blankets a The rescued passengers were for ! t the most part too wrought up to i talk connectedly of their nerve- (c racking experience. A fe? of the j cooler spirits, however, were able to give a brief word picture of the|s wreck, the long suspense on the|a crumbling ship as if crushed to I 2 pieces beneath them on the rocks I a and the terrifying passage through;), the boiling surf to safety on the; t bench. j 1 No one will be able to tell ac- c Icurately for some time how many y j lives were lost, was the opinion ex' pressed this morning by three sur- t 1 vivors who insist they saw one wo- v man swept from a life boat and a j drowned. They say that many more might s j have perished in the numerous up- j, I sets that marked the journeys of j t me nit- raits 10 me snore. I t E. K. Ross with his wife and son, p of San Francisco, were among the) |a rescued who kreached here. That| Mrs. Ross reacted home alive is duej to the heroism Of some unknown | passenger who grasped her as she | 11 was sinking for the third time after i she had been swept from an over- j 1 ! turned life raft and swam with her | child through the breakers in safety ! "I sank three times," said Mrs. I ; Ross. "It was the life preserver which brought me to the surface p each time, but 1 was unable to bat- a tie with the immense breakers that p swept over my head. Once I came 0 to the top and saw my little boy 0 just as he was going down. I grab- t ber him by the hair and just then p a big, strong man caught me and v helped me get ashore with my 0 child." 8 Mr. Ross says that the passengers 0 from the first asked to be putig ashore. 1 p They even called to a passenger j0 train passing along the cliff he said, j j The train stopped, he said, but the: (, v.a|/iaui nuuiu nui rtllUW lilt; jmoocJi" | y gers to go ashore. p "It was quite a mill pond then," p Mr. Robs went on, "and it would a have been an easy task for the crew j, to put us ashore. Rut Capt, Faris ,, said he had orders by wireless j, from his company to keep the peo- i pie aboard. 1p "The life saving crew of a sta- | a tion near the point appeared on j p the scene early in the day and of- u fered assistance but after keeping them by two hours the captain told 1 them they would not be needed ^ When actual debarkation from the, ship did commence, however, they j returned and did heroic work." There were probably eight lost in j jail and it will be some time before the exact number is known," said j Q. G. Schooner, of San Luis Obis- j jj po.

Washington, July 10. ? "Hot reather and drought have played avoc with the crop conditions durig the hist month was the statelent made to-day by Prof N. C. lurray, acting chief of the crop reorting board of the department of griculture, after the announcelesit of the Jnlv reiwirt on irrain nd produce. "The report," said Prof. Murray, reflects the serious effects of the rought during June, most of the mportant crops showing a eondiion at present which indicates a ield below that of last year and elow the recent average yield of roduction. "The feed stuffs,?oats and hay ?seem to have been the hardest it. Less than two-thirds of a noraal crop of hay is expected and lie oat crop probably will be more ban 25 per cent less th?n last ear's crop and about 12 per cent, ess than the average for the last ive years. Com Condition Itelow Average. "The corn acreage is the largest ver recorded, but the condition of he crop is about 7 perc ent beow the average. That indicates a ess than last year's record crop, nit nearly five per cent, more than he average production during the ast five years. The condition of he corn crop on July 1, however, ras critical. The potato crop promises to be inusually short. The acreage has alien off and the condition of the rop now is lower than at any ime on July 1 in the last twentywo years. A sensational advance n the price of potatoes has been nade during the last msiith. The iverage price throughout the county, on June 1, was 6 5.3 cents a ms.'iel. On July 1 it. was 96.3 ents. Tobacco Also Short. Owing to the difficulty in the etting out of tobacco plants the verage of tobacco has been redued !8 per cent, from last year. This nd the low condition of the crop as reduced the indication to a otal production of 63.3 per cent, of ast year's crop, or 77.3 per cent, if the average for the last five ears. "Notwithstanding the drought, he wheat crop, both spring and nnter. will be well up to the averse in total production.

I Sailors of American Meet tiive , Phlegmatic Danes Taste of Strenuouh American Life. A Danish professor has had his ' philosophic calm somewhat disturbl by u visit of the American warships ! to Copenhagen. Wishing no doubt | to warn his brother professors inj< St. Petersburg, he writes to one of t the newspapers of that city, signing himself "Dr. A.," and says: < "For seven days and as many i | nights the whole of Copenhagen has! been occupied with the visit ol" the | American fleet. It is scarcely pos-' jsible to believe that a city of half I a million inhabitants, that is to say, < a big city, would permit itself to be upset in such a way as Copen-! hagen has really been by the visit of 4,000 foreigu sailors. "Copenhagen is in the habit of ; boasting of its blase cosmopolitanism and the average Dane does not | as a i ule take much stock in militarism, eithero n land or sea The ! 'lively boys in blue' who visited us I from 'free American,' however, capjtured the hearts of the people of; Copenhagen?yes, they had in real-1 ity won them before their arrival ! "Some little time before the four I colossal war vessels from over the i water had cast anchor in the outer! roads of Copenhagen the question of' what could be done to make thei tarism, either on land or sea. The shores of the Oere Sound as agree- I able as possible was the solds ub-! ject discussed. With the assistance j of the whole population a program of festivities was arranged which I was so crowded with official and semi-official functions and festivities for the officers and even more especially for the 'gentlemen sailors' that the strongest nerves were necessary to carry it through. It was carried out, however, and while the | four gray monsters set sail thTfc j morning for Stockholm amj good .I people of v OpeTXhac^. ^:re sitting nursing th-?ir heads. | "The 'pain in the hair' from -which thev are suffering is partially of a moral nature. This is not only the case with a great number of the women of Copenhagen, who , must feel a belated remorse that they were too hearty in their enthusiasm for the visitors from over the seas, but also their fathers and brothers shake their heads with anxiety when they consider the liberty allowed to 4.000 more or less (drunken sailors. "It cannot he denied that the foreign sailors, and in some cases their officers, while they were on their twenty-four hours leave on land conducted themselves in a way that was not always worthy of the t navy of a great Power. It goes without saying that continually serious and stiffly correct conduct conduct cannot he demanded from sailors going on land, after a long voyage, but when one sees restaurants overflowing with loud voiced sailors singing and yelling -without any consideration for the other guests, or when one sees late at night or in the early morning hundreds of sailors sleeping in the, principal streets and later on be-j fore noon sailors filled with alcohol' singing, shouting and playing mouth j organs as they drive through the' streets in motor cars, each man accompanied by a Danish girl, then patience becomes exhausted, more especially when one remembers the proper behavior of the sailors of other navies when they are on leave in foreign ports. i "It must he remarked that the; j shore leave of the American sailor! I always lasts twentv-four hours, from early in the morning until the next day at the same hour I'ndrr these; conditions the temptation to go to excess is very great, especially when it is remembered that the pay of | the American sailor is very high All the sailors who came ashore in Copenhagen were well supplied with money and they must certainly have spent $100,000 among the restau- ; rants, the motor drivers and the| girls. "It should be remembered in 1 passing that the commanding officer of the American fleet. Admiral Badger, made a bad blunder in the course of the dinner given by the Danish Viee-Admiral Vandel to the I J American officers. Admiral Badger! called for cheers for the 'German* | ' navy, and his attention was called | to the error by some one in the i hall. Although the Admiral corrected himself by substituting 'Danish' | for 'German' the toast was drunk by! the company in great confusion. "It was generally understood that the Admiral made a slip of the tongue which ought not to have occurred on such an occasion, but | now one of the Copenhagen papers ; declares that the Admiral of the J | American fleet was under the im-' presslon that Copenhagen was real- j i ! ly on German territory. On the dav1 after the dinner the Admiral is re ported to have had the crews of 11 his ships formed up on deck and i ] to have confessed to them that he i had made a scandalous mistake and thereafter addressed them in the < following wards: 1 " 'I do not want you to make a I similar error, which would give pain to the people who are our hosts. < The country where we are now is ] called Denmark A special language i called Danish is spoken here, and i are independent and are just as lit- < are independent anda re just as lit- < COUNTY NEWS ITEMS NEWSY LETTERS FROM DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF COUNTY MOVEMENTS OFTHE PEOPLE News Items of Interest. to Herald l^wlcrs.

Now, Mr. Kditor, if you want to see some cotton that is well fruited drive out to the P. 13. Rogers place and take a look at the crops of S. A.
