THE FORT MILL TIMES. 7TH YEAR FORT MILL, S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1908 NO 13 BRYAN'S VIEWS. Nebraskan Censures Action of ' Republican. Convention. INJUNCTION PLANK. ChIIh it a "Transparent Fraud" and Analyzes it in Detail?Laboring Man, lie Hays, Has Nothing to Hope From the l'arty Which Has Chosen Taft {tml Sherman. A dispatch fro Lincolu, Neb., Bays: Following up his expression of Saturday In criticism of the Republican national platform In generla, William Jennings Bryan gave out Sunday a statement in which he ascuilu It* no cHnnlor t ho nnH.ln {imoHrtn plunk of the Chicago declaration, i characterizing is as a "transparent c fraud." The statement follows: i "The anti-injunction plank of the c Republican platform as finally adopt- 1 ed is a transparent fraud. It is possible that the members of the com- I in it tee were buncoed by some trust c lawyer?that is the only charitable s view that can be taken of it. Those who advocated the plank claimed ( to lie doing It as a concession to the t wage earners, and yet If one will a read the plank he will see that it is, 1 in fact, an announcement thut the 1, Republican party is unalterably op- v posed to the laboring man's position. I The plank reads as follows: S " 'The Republican party will up- C hold at all times the authority and d integrity of t ie courts, State and fed- g oral, and wlil ever Insist that, their l power to enf >rce their processes and 1 to protect li e, liberty and property e shall be preserved inviolate. We be- s lleve, howevi r, that the rules of pro- t cedure In Inderal courts with ,re o spcct to the issuance of a writ of 5 injunction should be more accurately e defined by tbe statute; that no In- 0 limcllnn or tnnitmrurv rest raieinif order should be issued without no- d tire, except where Irreparable In- o jury would result from delay, In t< which case :i speedy hearing there- n after should be granted. b "Ii will b" seen the plank begins ti with an unnecessary eulogy of the 1 courts. Nobody is opposed to up- g holding at ell times the authority ei and integrlt> of the courts. Nobody n 1h objection to the enforcement of it their processes or of their exercise > of their pow. rs to protect life, liber- rr ty and property. The plank assumes u .that somebody is attacking the courts p and that the courts are In danger of 9 losing suppoil or of having their powers weakened. There Is no .uttuck o upon the c< urts and there Is no If thought an- where of Interfering d with any legitimate function of the, k court. The Republican convention ei puts up a .11 an of straw and then t.t proceeds to demolish it. This pait ti of the plank was written to give assurance to t he people who are op- si posed to the laboring man's plea, ti And now let us proceed to that part u of the plank which was intended as o a sop to the laboring man. It says: ii "Wo helive, i hat the rules of proce- dure in the federal court with re- a spect to the issuance of a writ of Injunction should be more accurately p defined by the statute.' (Just what a that, deflnltii ti shall be is not stat- c od). - d Statute Copied. t< " 'That 110 Injunction or tempor- a nry restraii Ing or ler should be t? Issued without notice except where ti Irreparable injury should result tl from delay, in which case a speedy ii Iwi'ii'lntr tlmi .infi Ar chmilrl l\o arnnt. ed.' Note the words 'except where Irreparable injury would result from n delay' and 'Compare this exception t with (he federal statute on the sub- r Jecl and you will find that court Is e not empowered to grant a tempo- c vary restraining order except there't appears to be danger of Irreparable iujury from delay. It will tie seen f that the m in who wrote the In- a junction plank copied the statute al- y most word for word and made the a exception as broad as the statute. If ti the convention had been frank in n the statement of its ]K>6itton it would t have quoted the present statute and t said that it was In favor of enforcing the law Just as it Is. It would ^ have said. 'Whereas at present a t court or judge may grant a tompor- I ary restraining order,' 'If there ap- 1 pears to be danger of irreparable in- a jury from delay.' 'therefore, bo It f resolved th.it we are opposed to I changing it.' t "The men who are responsible for t the language of the injunction plana 1 may have fooled the convention hut 1 they can not fool the laboring men | or the voters In general. The in- t junction plank has not even the 1 value of a gold plate brick for the t plating in brass as well as the inter- i ior of the brick. j "The piank as prepared in advan- | re of the convention by Mr. Taft's | friends and given out Tuesday read ( as follows: 'We declare for such i amendments to the statutes relative to procedure in the federal courts with respect to the use of the writ of injunction as will, on the one hand prevent the summary issue of such orders without proper consideration and on the other will preserve undlminuished the power of the courts to enforce their process to the v'11'1 th-it Justice may be dour THE SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR ANSEL TO ATTEND CEREMONY OP LAUNCHING. Constructed on tlie Latest Design* For War Vessels and Has No Superior in the American Navy. A special dispatch from Columbia to The News and Courier says: When the next battleship of Uncle 3am's navy is launched it will be christened "South Carolina" by Miss Fiederica Ansel, daughter of the governor of this state. The launchng of the ship will take place on ho 11th of July at the Cramps' ship .-ard, Philadelphia. Governor Ansel has seut out letera to his staff askin gthem to ac:ompany him to the launching, and le stated recentlv thnt Mo aQ..rrv. vould christen the ship. The cere-' nonles are in charge of the builders >f the ship, who have requested Gov. XriBel to bring his part yand partiipate In the launching, the ceremones of %vhlch are simple. After the launching the party will >e entertained at luucheon by the :ontractors, when two or three short peeches are to be made. The United States battleship South Carolina is one of the battleships authorized by congress in the naval ippropriation act of March. 31, 905, her sister Hhip being the Michgan. which was launched a few feekH ago at the New York Ship luilding company's dock. The 'outh Carolina is being built by the 'rami) SUainship rompnny, of Philatlphia. The contract for her conduction was signed on July 21, 906. Her keel was laid December 8. and she will be finally complctd and turned over to the United 1 tf.es P'?v? rnment on December 21, 900. The contract price, exclusive f armor and armament, was $3 40,000. She will have cost the govrnmont when completed about $7,00,000. The South Carolina will have a isplacement of 16,000 tons; a speed f 18.5 knots; coal supply, 2,220 jns; armor belt, 12 inches: caseicn side armor, 10 to 8 inches; arbettes and turrets, 10 to 12 hches. Armament, eight 45-calibre 2-inch guns, twenty-two 3-inch mis. Torpedo tubes, two submergd 21-inch. Her length between ci|icu iL-uiurs# idu ieei; ornutii 01 >ad water line, 80 feot; mean draft, 1 4 feet G inches; full load dlsplacelent, 17,600 tons: horse power, 17.- : 00. Her total complement, includes officers and crew, will be about 1 00 men. I he battleship South Carolina is f particular interest, because she 1 one of the first of our battleships ef-igned after the conclusion of the useo-Japanese war, and her designrs have embodied in her construcon the experience gathered during le naval epcrations of that conflict. The South Carolina and her sister Itip, the Michigan, will be the two nest ships in the United States navy, ntil the Delaware, now in course f construction, is launched and put to commission. * t all timeB and to all parties.' "It will be noticed that in this lank the declaration in favor of mendmeuts comes first and the delaration in favor of preserving uniininished the power of the courts 5 enforce their processes comes fterwards. in the nlank as adon- ' pd by the convention the declara- 1 ion in fuvor of the courts comes 1 rat. and the discussiou of a change i the law conies afterward. Kesort to Deception. "If the demand of the laboring lan was unreasonable why did not he convention soy so? Why did i' esort to deception? The Ilepubli an party will find that an hone t ourse would have been safer than he dishonest course being pursued "Secretary Taft is known as tin ather of government by injunction nd his speeches in Oklahoma last ' our gave conclusive proof of his dlierence to the position taken i>> ilm on the bench. He Is still in fav?r of the use of the writ of injuncton in labor cases and he is opposed o trial by jury. "In a speech delivered in New fork last, winter he said in resjionse o questions tha he law ought to ?e so amended as to give a hearing >efore the injunction was granted ind even consented that the hearing or contempt should be before a diferent judge from the one who grantid the injunction, but when he came o prepare a plank for the. convention ie did not go so far as he went in 1IH spvuirii. I lit: I?I<1 II rv iiinl wt;ni iftfore the convention as his plank was io weak that it amounted to nothing, ?ut it was even then too strong for Lhe convention, and the convenion idopted a plank which not only does not grant any concessions to the laltoring men but really emphasizes the position taken by large corporate emplove.rs by hurling anathema at those who are suspected of a desire to modify the law relating to injunctions. "This is the treatment received by the wage earners from the national conventions of the Republican party. If this is the position of the party before the election, what reason has the laboring man to hope that the party will do better afcer election?" 1 DROWNS WITH WIFE HER LEAl* TO RBSCl'E SlNKINt CAPTAIN ENDS IN TRAGEDY. Drowning Occurred in Sight of Hnn dml* Who Were Powerless to Pre Tent It. Locked in each other's arms, ir plain views of hundreds on shore and upon the awning decks of an chored yachts. Captain Otto Auberi and his wife were drowned Wednesday night off the foot of East Twentyninth street. New York in the slii known as "The Drowners." Five thousand spectators watched the electric lights of the police launch and thirty of the yachts as they dragged for the bodies. They were found finally not more than fifty feet from the barge Edgewood, which Captain Aubert commanded. Fully fifty persons have been drowned off the "Dumps," as that part of the river front is called, in the "drowncrs' " slip in the last twenty years. No tragedy has caused the sorrow of this sad happening. The spectators murmured in sympathy when the laidies, still firmly held in a last embrace, were brought to the surface. It was to save the life of her helpmate that Mrs. Aubert sacrificed her own. He had fallen overboard and she leaped in after him. For more than thirty years they had navigated the rivers and Sound when their boat, tlie Edgewood. laden to her deck-beams with grain in bulk, reached the moorings at the foot of Enst Twenty-ninth 6treet. The grain was partially discharged when Mrs. Aubert rung the supper bell at 7 p. m. After supper the grizzled captain, once a Norwegian soldier, whose universal good nature had gainer! for him the sobriquet of "Happy Otto," lighted his corncob pipe and tuned his banjo. He was an expert an this instrument, aud for an hour he entertained his wife. Finally he sang his wife's favorite Jong: "When are you coming home, my dear?" The stuffy little cabin had grown 1 U ~ I .. luvt c oiiiujr, i nu vn|Huiu augjested that they get a little air on lock. He preceded her to the rail tnd leaned upon it.

The captain weaker than before, tried again to oosen his wife's hold, but in vuin. Finally, with a despairing cry. he threw his own arms about his wife, tnd they went down for the last time.

She was picked up by the enginee: of the train, who witnessed the ac cident, and carried abroad his train where it was found that she was serl ously, though perhaps not fatall} hurt. . The strength of the young wumai gave out alnrosl as hands were reach ing to save her, as the engineer hac seen young ladies on the trestle anc stopped his train before it reacbei them. Two other girls, a sister and com sin of Miss Hradly, ran from the trestle when they heard the fcrair iti'i'i?-??? ii uuu ini'.v supiiost'a mai snt hnd followed. When they turned and saw that their companion had remained on the trestle and sought to escape from swinging from it with her hands they became terrified and stood on the tracks. Captain Jones, engineer of the Tallulah Kails railway, brought his train to a standstill, and leaping from his engine ran towards the girl who had suspended from the big bridge. He had almost reached her side when with a scream sho dropped to the gorge below. It was the work of a few moments to run back across the trestle aud run down the pathway on its side. He found the young woinun bruised and bleeding and in an unconscious condition. Passengers and the train crew who had followed the engineer assisted him in carrying the young woniar. to the train, which proceeded to the falls, and the Injured girl was sent to the Smith house. * FIVE PKKISH IN CHICACJO FIRE.

Ims mediately after the prisoner had been released on bond for this charge he was again arrested on a warrunt (. issued by Magistrate Turner, of a Graniteville, on another charge. He gave bond for his appearance before ! Magistrate Turner on that charge. p which grew out of the same case. 11 The charge heard by Magistrate ! f Smeak was for bigamy. The prose- 1 s outing witness, who gives her name ' as Mrs. Elizabeth Meigs Stalvey, was 1 the only witness examined.

Since then s she had been assisting the defendant. * 1 She said she knew the defendant was married in April. He had been 1 away from her several months at 1 1 the time. The marriage had been kept secret at his request at some ' 1 places, and they went under the *' name of Mr. and Mrs. Mays, and at 1 other places as Mr. and Mrs. Stal- H vey.
