Senators Tillman and Depew Lock Horns In Senate Over the Part the New York Banks Play in Speculations in leaning Money to Gamblers. A lively colloauv hetween S?no(nM Depew and Tillman took place when the South Carolina senator attempted to have the senate pass his resolution calling on the comptroller of the currency to furnish a detailed statement of all loans made by national banks in New York upon collateral security during the 6 months from June 1 to December 1, 1907. Mr. Aldrich suggested that as drawn the measure had many objectionable features, but he thought a resolution would e framed to give the information desired if it should bo referred to the committee on finance. Mr. Tillman demanded to know the objection to the resolution, Mr. Aidrich replying that the chief objection was the provision calling for the names of people making loans. "I think that would be the very worst thing we could do in the present condition," said Mr. Aldrich. Mr. Tillman disavowed any special purpose in having the names and Mr. Hale asked that the matter be allowed to go over so that the chairman of the finance committee and Mr. Tillman might agree on a form of resolution. Mr. Tillman said he did not want to go into the private affairs of banks but merely wanted to get at the facts concerning stock gambling and the loaning of funds of depositors for stock gambling purposes. Mr. Depew said that what was done in New York was done elsewhere and the inquiry might be extended to other places. "But," shouted Mr. Tillman, "most states have closed their bucketshops and New York has not shut up its bucketshop or gambling house that is swallowing up the little fellows." "South Carolina would be the flrBt to BufTer if the New York exchange WPra rlnupri " ca1H .??r T^onnnr her industrial institutions would feel the efTect of a loss of crodit if New York is hampered." "I have never discovered that New York is supplying money from disinterested motives.'* retorted Mr Tillman; "we pay for everything we get." Mr. Depew said it was safe to say that a majority of demand loans are made for legitimate purpose, added that he was ready to co-operate in the suppression of gamming in New York. The resolution was then offered to the committee on finance. MAN FOUND DEAD. Familiar Object of Charity at Greenville Passes Away. A dispatch from Greenville to The Newa and Courier says P. A. Hammett, a well known and pathetic figure on the streets for the past year, was found dead in a lonely and almost unfurnished room he called homo early Wednesday morning.

One Hundred and Seventy-five Little School Children MEET AWFUL DEATH. The Terrible llollocaus. iu School House at Collinwood, Ohio.?The Furnace Was Overheated and the Fearful Disaster Followed.?Children iu Ilooms on Second Floor and in Attic Perished in Flames. An nwftll troirn^n * ? ? .. uitiimii >> i1 cine sd ay morning in the public school of Collinwood, Ohio, which has some eight thousand population. One hundred and sixty-flve corpses were taken out of the ruins up to ten o'clock Wednesday night. Six children arc still unaccounted for aud all the hospitals and houses for two miles around contained numbers of children, some fatally and many less seriously injured. All of the victime were between six and fifteen years ?of age. The school qpntulned between 310 and 325 pupils, and of this entire number only eighty are known to have left the building unhurt. It will be several days before the exact number of killed Is known, as the ruins may still contain other bodies and the list of fatalities may be increased by a number of deaths among the chil dren who are lying in the hospitals hovering between life and death. The school houBO was of brick, two stories aud an attic in height, normally large and the smaller chilpart of the building. There was but dren had been placed in the upper part of th building. There was but one fire escape and that* was in the rear of the building. There were two stairways, one leading to a door In front and the other to a door In the rear, lloth of these doors opened inwnrd nnd it is claimed the rear door was locked as well. When the flames were discovered the teachers, who throughout seem to have acted with courage and self possession and to have struggled heroically for the safety of their pupils marshalled the little ones into column for the "fire drill," which mey nua orien practiced. unroriunntely the llao of march in this exercise had always led to the front door and the children had not been trained to seek any other exit. The flre came from a furnace situated directly under this part of the building. When the children reached the foot of the stairs they found the tlames close upon them, and so swift a rush was made for the door that in an instant a tight ly packed mass of children was pilled up against it. From the second tloor none of those who were upon any portion of the first flight of stairs had a chance for their lives. The children at the foot of the stair started to fight their way back to the floor above, while those who were coming down shoved them mercilessly back into the flames below. In an instant there was a frightful panic, with 200 of the pupils fighting for their lives. Most of those who were killed died here. The greater part of those who escaped managed to turn back and reached the flre escape and the windows in the rear. The school was a two-story and attic brick building, constructed six years ago. It was overcrowded with pupils and it was found necessary to utilize the attics for those of the ages between six and eight years. Nearly all the children were, killed In the mass at the first floor door, which finally was opened by men from the Lake Shore Railway shops, who hurried to the scene. A wall of flame had formed across tt, however, and most of the hcildren were dead by the time the doors were swung. Miss Catherine Weiler, one of the nine teachers in the school, loss fcer , life in a vain effort to marshal tin* pupils of her class and lead them to safety. She died In the crush at the rear door. Her room was on the second floor and when the fire alarm sounded she marched her pupils into the hnll, thinking it was only a Are drill. There the truth dawned upon both the teacher and pupils and control was lost. The children in their frenzy plunged into the struggling mass ahead of them. Miss Weiler attempted to stem the rush, but went down under it, and her body was found an hour later piled high with those of her pupils. Miss Flak, another teacher, was taken out alive, but she cannot live. After the Are had practically burned itself out the work of rescuing the bodies was begun by firemen and railroad employees from the Lake Shore shops. The railroad company turned over one of its buildings nearby to be used as temporary morgue and hither the charred and broken little bodies were removed as fast as they could be dug from the ruins. They were ever, and most, of the children were Identifications wore made only by means of clohting or trinkets. The fire had swept away nearly all resemblance to human features. Distracted parents soon began to gather and the work of identifying the blackened and mangled corpses began. Thegrewsome task of taking AWFUL CRIME. Elderly Man Slain and His Wife Left For Dead. The Crimp \V#s Committed for the Sake of Murder and Two Suspect* Are Caught nud Lynched. I A dispatch from Hawkinavllle. Ga., i says a terrible murder shocked that community Wednesday and a whole section of the county near Empire, Ga., is wild with excitement, over 1,000 people being gathered at the scene of the tragedy. Just at daylight Wednesday morning some person or persons, attacked Mr. Warren Hart as he wont out to feed his stock, crushing his head to a jelly, and killing him Instantly lyThey then went to the kitchen, where Mrs. Hart was preparing breakfast, and attacked her with an axe, leaving her for dead. She was found lying on the floor with a fork in her hand and her breakfast burned to a crisp. The object of the plot to murder is supoosed to have been for robbery, as Jhey had about $1,000 in the house, which the murderers failed to And. The report reaches Hawkinsville that two negroes have been arrested, and It Is expected they are the assassins. A later renort from the scene says that the two negroes ar- j rested have been lynched by the Incensed citizens. I Mr. and Mrg. liar: were about 65 < yenrs old. and were highly respected j citizens. The people of the bectlos < are wrought ui> to a frenzy t SENT CHECK * To Cover the Amount of Which State j Was Kobbod. The State says that Col. Felder c and Mr. Malvern Hill, In going over t the old books of the State dispensary, t discovered that on an order for 300 c casks of beer sold to the State Dis- a pensary In 1904, the Indianapolis c Brewing company overcharged the c State the sum of $260. A settle- a ment In full had been made with a this concern nearly four yearB ago and their firm name did not appear ? on the ledger of the dispensary when 1 the commission took charge. t Col. Felder addressed a communl- \ cation to the Indianapolis Brewing t company cnlling attention to the find- f lngs of the commission as to their a dealings with the officers of the o State and advised that the amount e of overcharge, $2 60, be remitted to the attorney general without delay. By return mail came a check for the full amount of the overcharges and no questions were asked. * Clothing Caught Fire. While pnssing in front of a fire in an open fireplace the dress of the seven-year-old daughter of Jule Thompson, of St. George, Ga.. caught lire and In her fright she ran Into the yard. She was so badly burned that she died. out the blackened torsos and bits of human remains was one of horror. A line of rescuers was formed, backed by a dozen ambulances. As the bodies were untangled from the debris they were passed along to the stretchers and then loaded in the ambulances. At the tempory morgue in the Lake Shore shop the scene became fourfold In the intensity of human suffering as fathers, mothers, broth era and sister passed up and down e ihe lines formed of one hundred and ? sixty corpses. To facilitate Identifl- i cation the bodies were numbered as \ they were received at the morgue. I The first Identification was made by the mother of Nell and Tommy ? Thompson, aged six and nine years, 1 respectively. The heads and arms ? hfid been burned from both bodies, ( but the mother recognized the shoes ' on her children's feet. And so tho I disheartening went work on, accen- c tnated now and then by the piercing < shriek or plaintive moan as a loved t one was recognized by clothing or ^ token, such as ring or necklace. Miss Golman, one of the teachors, t said: "It was awful. I can seen the < wee things in my room holding out t their tiny arms and crying to me to t uwip mom. 1 neir voices are ring- c ing In my ears yet and I shall never 1 forget them. When the alarm gong I rang I started the pupils to march- 1 ing from the building. When we < started down the front stairs we were t met by a solid wall of flame and i clouds of dense smoke. We retreat- ( ed, and when we turned the children became panic stricken and I could i not do anything with them. They < became jammed n the narrow stair- ' way, and I knew that the only thing i for me to do was to get around to < the rear door if possible and help 1 those who were near the entrance. 1 When I got there after climbing out < a window I found th children so crowded in the narrow passageway that I could not pull even one of them out. Those behind pushed , forward and as I stood there the lit tie ones piled upon one another. Those who could stretched out their arms to me and cried for me to help them. I tried with all my might to pull them out and stayed there until the flames drove me away." X OUTLAW KILLED. Stabbed Chief of Police Shippy and Shot His Son.
