* v ' I A GRAVE CHARGE Made Against Col. Tucker by Mrs. 0 J. A. Logan. A TRIAL MAY RESULT s Colonel Tucker, Who Marrhsl A r Daughter of Mrs. l.ogau, Hut Who ?| lias la-ft llim, Is Charged Willi ( r Scandalous Conduct While On ^ lluty in the Philippine Islands.? ^ Will ll<- Invent fluted. I What promises to*be another cause j celebre in the American army has , been precipitated through the action j of Mrs. John A. Logan, widow of the famous civil war general, in filing a complaint at the war department, alleging scandalous conduct on the part of her son-in-law, Lieut. 1 Col. William F. Tucker. j If an investigation begun by the department should substantiate her . statements, Lieut. Col. Tucker stands in danger of courtmartial. Since the complaint reached the department its contents have quietly circulated among the army corps in Washington, and in interest has eclipsed the case of Mrs. Ayres, excluded from the military reservation at West Point. It has also recalled the allegation made against Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing in connection with his conduct in the southern islands of the Philippines. The interest in the Tucker case is heightened by the recent reports that Lieutenant Col. Tucker and his wife, Mrs. Logan's daughter, have separated. Mrs. Tucker is now in Washington living with her mother and her * * 1 T ? ? / i i i nv _ l husoanu, L.ieutenam v^oionei xucw, is stationed in Chicago performing his duties as paymaster of the Department of the Lakes. The complaint filed by Mrs. Logan is said to be based upon the way in , which her son-in-law conducted him- : self while stationed in the Philippines. Lieutenant Colonel Tucker was assigned to duty in Manila several years ago and only recently returned and assumed duty in Chicago. Ollicials of the war department decline to make public the nature of Mrs. Logan's allegations, and Mrs. Tucker herself will not talk about them. When the paymaster was first sent to the far Last he was accompanied by his wife. She returned a year ago on account of the death of her little son. What Mrs. Tucker subsequently learned of the conduct of her husband which led to the separation and the filing of Mrs. Logan's complaint is not authoritatively known. When Mrs. Logan was informed of from her haaband, but came to Washington two weeks ago especially for the purpose of acquainting the war department with all the facts as she knew them. There is no doubt that Mrs. Logan's action was most embarrassing to the department. Scandals, especially of a family character and having the Philippines as their scene, are not relished by the army, because of the effect upon the entire service. Mrs. Logan was insistent, however, that action be taken upon her complaint, and as a result it was decided to nave two officers of the inspector general's department make a thorough investigation. The officers charged with this duty were Major J. (J. Galbraith and Major Parker W. West, both assistants to the inspector general. Major Galbraith returned recently from Chicago, where, it is said, he saw Lieutenant Colonel Tucker! and received his explanation. Major West is in San Francisco, seeing per, sons who, it is claimed, know all about the case. It is possible the investigation will be carried to Manila. Major Galbraith will say nothing, even to his intimate friends, in regard to his Chicago trip. The military authorities recently issued an official order in regard to the relations which should exist between army men stationed in the far Eastern archipelago and Filipino women. These relations have tended bring disgrace upon the army and i the United States, and a numbei of ( courtsmartial have occurred, which i have resulted in the dismissal of the | officers involved. Several months ago ( an order was issued nrohihitinor cers from living with Filipino wo- ? men, on the ground that such con- ? duct was a disgrace to the service j and the flag, and prescribing the penalty of dismissal for every person found violating it. r The department feels that in no r case can it go behind this order, no n matter how high the officer or how s strong the political and other influ- t ence he may be able to muster. Besides the disgrace suffered by the ^ United States and the army, the h practice is injurous in its effects upon b the Filipinos, and lessens that feeling p of respect for the government class V\ which the latter shovild enjoy. e ? So far as Lieutenant Colonel Tuck- T er is concerned, there is absolutely a no flaw in his military record, fie hi was horn in Massachusetts on March 1, 1854, and at the ago of twenty- >st eight was apix>inted a major and m paymaster, Illinois being accredited ft with the appointment.

Earlier in the night the soldiers, who were drinking, became noisy and were repeatedly cautioned by the guards. Later, when their number had increased to about 300 they threw aside all restraint and proceeded to the Warpath, where they invaded places of amusement, refusing to pay admission fees or to leave when ordered out. The "'Temple oi Mirth," "Beauty Show" ant "Streets of Cairo" were the principal sufferers. At the latter place about 15 Powhatan Guards attempt ed to restore order and then trouble followed. The guards were forced t< use their sabres to beat the mei back. Cant, Carpenter and Adjutant Garwood were soon on the scene ane succeeded in ejecting the men fron the "Streets of "Cairo."

IA A Judge Brawley's Decision Places Land Owners in Bad Fix. d b >lr. C. C. Featlierstone Thinks, However .That a Constitutional Statute ^ Can Be Enacted To Meet Case. J { The article on the discussion of j Judge Brawley by "Brother Bob," { published in the Laurens Advertiser 1 of June 26, and reproduced in The I News and Courier has been much ' discussed by the thirking men over ' the State. Therilon. C. C. Feather- J stone of Laurens, one of the leading ( lawyers of this State, and one of its , most prominent citizens, in speaking of the matter said: " There is no doubt but that 'Brother Bob' understands the full significance of Judge Brawley's decision. The facts that he presents are true, and he presents them in such a way that any mind should be able to see the probable disasters to the land ower. As he has so aply said in that article, the decision of Judge Brawley, holding the labor contract law of this State unconstitutional, has tdnced the farmers Interests in an extremely serious perdicament?and the 'negro in the saddle.' "The farmer. In order to Ret hands at the beginning of the year, is forc' od to niakj large advances in the way of cash and supplies, absolutely - without security. The laborer can work with him for a v.-hiie and then r leave him in the lurch. [ "No more serious situation ever confronted the farmer. He must have i labor. He may get It to start with, hut he cannot hold it in the present demoralized condition of affairs. - "What is the remedy? "In the first place, 1 think it is ? probable that a new statute can be j enacted by the next General Assembly i that will stand the test of the Courts. ^ "The thinking men of that body j ought to put on their 'thinking caps' and frame such a statute, and have it ready for introduction at the meeting of the General Assembly next January. ' "A great dc of the time of the e General Assenmly is spent in the consideration of small, frivolous affairs that cannot benefit anybody s costing the State annually an expene diture of thousands of dollars. 11 r is high time for such nonsehse to 1 cease. "What we want is practical, cornmon sense legislation legislation it that will benefit the people along *s practical lines. F- "The labor situation can be renie;o died if it is gone at in the proper !C way. a Can Stop Theft of Ijalmr. >v "Second. If a statute cannot be r- enacted that will bind the laborer >e and that will stand the tests of the Courts, one can be enacted that will, indirectly, bring ai)?ut the same resuit ?~ "I moan a statute that will keep a man's neighi?ors from enticing away 'S or interfering with his laborers, le "The contract between the lamli<._Liq?] nn.l_later.;r 1^ ?M, .. notion the Courts will sustain it. Tin j(j trouble is that, under Judge Hraw ley's decision, a violation thereof will 1 not sustain an indictment?the vio. lator cannot lie punished criminally *1 "Of course, as between the farmer tc and laborer this remedy is useless to the landlord?the average laborer being without property that can ne reached by execution. "lint why not punish, and punish d severely, the third party, who either entices away the laborer or harbors him after he leaves? "Laborers are not going to leave (* unless they can get employment else> where. ( The Wrong Sort of Neighbors. '? "The great trouble with the labor v situation to-day is that too frequenta ly a man's neighbors are waiting, k with open arms to receive the laborer who has violated his contract. Such D men are more dangrous to the farntr ing interests than the negro who j violates his contract. They are more intelligent and know better. One* half the time they are the cause of ' the negro violating his contract.. t "Such negro stealers ought to he > dealt with severely. We already I have some law upon this subject? t more than we enforce- but, in my judgment, t lie law ought to be i amended and made broader and , more stringent. When this is done and we make up our minds to enforce slicit a law I believe that the nikm i|iii!huiiu win i??? greany unproved, if not completely solved. "White njen who are anxious to employ laborers who have violated their contract have always been the principal trouble. "Third. There is another matter of vital importance along this line, viz: The rigid enforcement of vagrancy laws. "There are thousands of negroes 1 and white men, too, hangers on about 1 towns and cotton mills, who ought to < be made to work. Their failure to < work not only tends to embarrass the ] labor situation by decreasing the ( number of laborers, but this class of , id'ers interfere with those who want to work -suggest and put new ideas into their heads that cause them to ' become dissatisfied and demoralized. f "In addition to this the crimes J that fill and congest our Criminal t Courts are, as a rule, commit'ed by s this class of id!, .s: in fact, the idle v people all over the country are a menace to the country in various ways. I' "They tire oppoeed to the proper t enforcement of law. If they get on s juries you will always find them op- m posed to conviction, and in hundreds of ways they contribute to the de- d moralization of society. f< ao country is ship mat nas a p large idle class. t( "Wc already have vagrancy laws p that are broad enough to cover the h majority of cases. What we need Is strict enforcement of these*laws by w mayors, magistrates and solicitors, all along the line. w "In this enforcement the farmers in are vitally interested and can ho of great assistance to the officers of the m law. They should not hesitate to report vagrants, swear out warrants tc and set the legal machinery in mo- iii tlon. al "One great trouble about the en- ?.j forcement of all law in this couutr> Is the fear that most people have of of becoming protecutors and witnesses, hg We too frequently fail to do our hi luty In this respect and then stand th )fT and criticise the verdict of juries.

Progress in this world comes entirely from education, and especially from Democratic education?that is to say, from the education of men to whom knowledge is their chelf possession, and not opposed in its beneficient effect by unearned wealth or unearned power. We live today in what is practically the first generation of universal ! education. Without education the mind cannot express itself. Take the greatest brain ever born, deprive it of simple elementary knowledge?that brain is useless to the world and to its owner, giving him only sorrow and vaiu protest against unfair conditions. if it is dreadful and discouraging to see a magnificent field lying idle, uncultivated, how much worst is it to see thi' brain of a man or a woman uncultivated, idle, unproductive Think how men have lived and died, hundreds of millions of them, without any of the liglu of knowledge let into tlieir heads, tneir brains and souls like dark cellars! And think how encouraging it is that to-day our finest buildings are our public school buildings, our great expenditures are our public school expenditures! The successful man is taxed, and willingly pays the tax if he be a good man, to give education and opportunity to the children about him. We are cultivating the minds of the children more rapidly than the fields of the nation, and we should be grateful for it. The fields can wait; they can keep tin ir wealth until another day. Hut the brain that is neglected, that grows up and dies ignorant, is lost forever. All wealth is the result of human thought and industry. All freedom is the result of knowledge and a trained mind. What wealth, material and mental, I there is in the great army of school l children, now going back to their homes to accumulate health ana vigor for the school work of next year! The children have learned in school to respect one another and to respect real ability. The boy is valued by his playmates for what he is. He need not have a penny in his pocket, his clothes may be the poorest; but if he has the power in the back of his head and the thought in the front brain the litle boys around him rec lognize him and follow him. The American father and mother ! deprive their children of the best chance in this life at its beginning if they refuse to send those children to the public schools. Many excuses are made for what is often snobbery. Unquestionably many fathers and mothers feel it is their duty to make the financial sacrifice that the private school calls for. But their real duty is to encourage the public school, to fight to make it better, to send their own children there. To supervise them while they are there, and to vote to get her in such a way as to make it impossible for the richest man to give to his children teaching as good as the public schools can give them. Childhood is the most beautiful as well as the most hopeful element in the life of the human age. The older people are doing their work; the world has taken their measure. The child is an unknown quantity, unlim; ited in possibility. The dull boy of ! today may turn out. as did that other [dull boy Newton, to discover some j great cosmic law. The high-tempered girl, imaginative, hard to manage full of whims and strange fancies, mav live 1(1 tie the nintlini" of tl.e man the world needs. Very often the woman of apparently undisciplined imagination and Impulses has given the great son to mankind. The responsibility of parents increases with the holiday season. The coming home of the children adds many duties to tne lives of fathers and mothers, already fully occupied. Children must, ahove all, he made healthy and strong in vacation. The hoy or girl inclined to read too much must be kept from it firmly, hut kept from it kindly by suuplying other interests instead of taking away the hook arbitrarily. The child that has been dull in studies must lie encouraged and made much of, not. discouraged. The brain grows with kindness, and jiossibilities develop with encouragement and judicious praise. If a son seems stupid or is stupid it is the fault of father and mother, not of the child. And it is the business of the father and mother to repair the harm that they have done. As a matter of fact, there is no stupid child. A normal human being i can lie ntside into a useful, intelligent and satisfactory citizen with the . right bringing up. Parent* should remember that sometimes apparent dullness is due to defective breathing. All young children should have their breathing apparatus, especla'ly the nose and i he mouth, examined by a good doctor. A child that has been dull at school may be transformed into a bright, promising scholar by a very simple operation absolutely without danger. The nervous, excitable child must be amused, so far as possible, in quiet ways. Ills brain often drives him on beyond the powers of his t>ody, and that is destructive of the brain, which cannot live In a feeble body or work in it. ?* The father and mother ree 1*? their children their own Immortality here on this earth.

Two weeks later, he tried the game again and lost $20, 000.

They should set tlieni above all, a good example, an example ol kindness and truth and patience. Parents of the home-coming school children should remember their duty to the teachers. Teachers tired aftei a year of faithful service, and of unselfish service, will soon take up the burden again.

The program include the transfer of the body of President AtcKiney from its temporary resting place to its final rest in the sarcophagus in the memorial tomb. The structure will cost $500,000. The mausoleum is 98 feet in height and 79 feet in diameter. The grand stairway which constitutes the prin-1 cipal approach to the tomb proper, I is 75 feet in height. The principal material used in construction of the monument is pink Milford granite which is utilized for the exterior, the steps and balustrade. The in-! terior is finished in Knoxville marble | with honed surface. The columnar j treatment, wnicn was narreu irom ; the exterior, is employed effectively | on the interior. The lighting is entirely from above. A double sacrophagus is provided. The site is a tract of 20 acres, forming the crowning eminence of the West Lawn cemetery. The general arrangement of the approach to the toml> hits the suggestion of across and a sword?a symbolism which is deemed peculiarly appropriate in a memorial to one who was a martyr and a president in time of war.
