At Springfield, 111., C. F. Wiche, brothera-ln-law of Edward Hines. of Chicago, a lumberman Tuesday admitted before the senate bribery investigation committee that Hines sent Mm on a midnight mission to the Grand Pacific Hotel in Chicago in an effort to have W. H. Cook and Wil* 11am O'Brien, Minnesota lumbermen, evade Cook county process servers at * the time the charges that bribery was used In the election or winiam i.orImer to the United States senate were flrst published In May, 1910. ; Wlebe's statement followed the testimony of Wiltcr Cook of Duluth w ho, it was brough' out? had written a threatening letter to "Hines. Wiehe corroborated some of Cook's state ments, but denied the pungent part of his charge. Cook declared that he, was in a room at the Grand Pacific hotel, May 26, 1909, with William O'BrieD and Edward Hines when Hines telegraphed to some one called "Governor" at Springfield. During this telephone conversation by Hiues, Cook said that Hines declared that he was ready to take the next train to Springfield with all the money necessary to effect William Lorlmer's /^jplectlon to the senate. Lorimer's MMufctton occurred later that same B. Cogn, investigator for the ^R^^Hmlttee testified that he inter^H^^Hlwed William O'Brien in Duluth ^^^^^Bthin the last week and that O'Brien about the same story as Cook Hp^^ronly differing that O'Brien got the ^EJVlmpression that Former Gov. Richard Yatea was on the Springfield end of the telephone. Following the recital of Cook be"lore the Investigating cdlnn^ittee Gov. Chas. S. Deneen issued a statement " * *- - J ? A ?U ?* VoH rm wnicq tie qwihicu lull u? neve at anytime held such a conversation with Hines. Former Gov. Hines also denied that he ever had any such conversation with Hines as that related by Cook. Wlehe stated to the committee that he, although not In the room when ^^^Hlnea got the Springfield ca41, believLor g?E M e. Washington toT^^^P'Wr^lIines ssid he had "put in" several telephono calls to Springfield on that day but did not know whom Hines was calling. Hines at a previous ^BjHearing testified that he taittea wuu Gov. Deneen on that morning from the Continental and Commercial National bank. Cook declared that he answered the telephone in his room at the Grand Pacific when the call came for Hines. ? \ "I understood the central girl to say, 'Here's Governor* or 'The governor of Springfield for Hines.' " He then related the conversation as he remembered it as follows: "Hines took down the receiver out of my hand and he in the phone. He asked: 'Hello, hello, helI lo. lathis you, governor? Well, I just left President Taft and Senator Al drlch last night in Washington. Now they tell me that under no consldera tion shall Hopkins be returned to the senate. Now, 1 will be down on the next train. Don't leave anything unj^^B done. I will be down on the next train prepared to furnish all the money required. Now, don't stop ct anyBHK thing: don't leave anything undone; I will be down on the next train. Or ^^^B^words to that effect, repeated over hree or four times." I Jook was specific regarding the ^^^^Buiatter of money (being mentioned ^^f^knd on cross examination repeated ot the conversation. On of the Grand Pacific hotel ^^|^H|^reHatlon V Hines Wiehe "Why, the ecnversatlon was subnrirtirallv as follows: sranuaii* ? 4I have just talk-d with the governor In the long distance telephone ami he assures me he will do what you ask. You know what the administration wants. Now, leave no 6tono unto be elected. I will get down to Springfield if necessary in the morning.' "And when he got through talking he turned to the people in the room and said: " 'I have just been talking to "Senator" Lorimer.' " Weihe stated that he, O'Brien. Cook, k Isaac Baker and Hines were present at the time. Weihe asked to be allowed to question Cook and was allowed to do so. He charged Cook with trying to blackmail Hines and the Weyhauser lumber Interest. Cook admitted that he had senl a letter to F. E. Wyerhauser an<1 also to Wiehe in which he threatened to tell what he knew of the Lorimei matter unless they agreed to settle 8 flight among the stockholders of th< * Virginia and Rainey Lake Lumbei conipany. These letters were pro duced by Cook, who also teetiflec that Edward Hines Lumber coi i,?an\ held $130,00.0 of Cook's notes anc mortgages. Oook also testified that he ant Henry Turrish of Duluth met .Mr Hines going through the hotel loDb> in May, 1909, shortly before th< election of Lorimer. "Mr. Turrisl asked him," said Cook, "how he wa; getting on down lb Washington. 'Oh, he said, 'I am having a hell of ? old Stephenson." After I elected him old Spethenson. After I elected him he has gone down to Washington anc started working there for free lum ber. 1 had a terrible time g< uire him lined up." Then he went on anc told about what a time he had witt the Southern Democrats. He said h< B would have them all fixed up todaj and tomorrow they would flop and h< would have.to go and fix them al brer again. < "Mr. Turrish asked him he* thej were getting along with the senator' OUTLOOK FOR COTTON FORTY-TWO MILLION BALES REQUIRED TO CLOTHE All the People of the World When They Become Civilized and Wear Clothes.. "To clothe the whole of humanity would require 42,000.000 bales of cotton each year." This statement vat made by President Hobbs of the National Association of Cotton M nufacturers, at its recent annual r:e.*ting in Boston. Mr. Hobbs. said that, of the 1,500,000,000 inbabitauli* of the world only 500,000,000 are completely clothed, while "50,000,000 are only partially clothed and 250,000,000 are practically not '.iothed at all. As civilization advance, the proportion of the partially clothed and the unclothed will decrease, and this with the increase of the population in civilized countries, will call for an increased supply of cot on. The cotton belt of the United States now furnishes fully two-thirds of the world supply of cotton, and, as the demand increases will be be called upon greatly to increase Its annual production. In speaking of the cotton situation President hcdds says: rrum iu? present acreage the production could be doubled if proper methods wore used." There must be Improved methods of cultivation, a better method of pcking a "general improvement in every step and pfocess between the planting of the seed and the delivery of the cotton to the mill." "We have drifted too long," he said, and "the time is now ripe for concerted and determined action if we are to maintain our commanding position." While the^rest of the world is "actively trying to find means to increase the production of cotton," we "continue in the old ways of producing and handling," and little improvement has been made in many years. It is estimated that only about one-third of the available area is cultivated, and if scientific knowledge were applied to natural conditions of soil and climate, "we can well raise 50.000,000 bales" or cotton a year and clothe all mankind. It is a clear understanding of this condition that has led th<* Southern Railway company to organize a Cotton Culture Department to work in co-operation with the United States agricultural department and the agricultural authorities of the Southern states, to keep^the cotton production of the South abreast of the demand hy bringing about the daption of those cultural methods which will result in larger average yields per acre, thus increasing the profitableness of cotton growing and leaving surplus lands to be devoted to other crops and the growing of live stock. It is clearly more profitable to a farmer to produce fifty bales of cotton on fifty acres than to produce the same amount on one hundred acres, for he tfill receive the same amount for his cotton and yvill have fifty acres for other uses. Under ordinary circumstances, every increase yield of cotton per acre reduces the cost of production per pound and yields the farmer a larger margin of profit between the cost of growing his crop and the selling price. TIIK TYUHOII) FLY. The Pesky Mosquito and How to Destroy llitn Entirely. An interesting and instructive bulletin issued by the state board of health deals with the mosquito and the house fly or the "Typhoid Fly." In the bulletin Is it pointed out that the mosquito needs no introduction in South Carolina. "A human fiend," says the bulletin. "who would enter our stroes and markets by night and after gorging himself, leave poison in all the remaining food to spread suffering, disease and death throughout the community would l?e execrated, pursued and torn to pieces by an outraged populace?yet a useless insect, th< fly. playing his role to perfection is living among us constantly and is * * *? ? ? ? "An eon r\ f resaraea merely n? ? num ok.hv*annoyance often as a subject of jest." It is pointed out in the bulletin that it is not beyond the bounds of possibility to abolish the mosquito entirely the prime prerequisites to such an undertaking being the participation ot every man, woman and child in the campaign. "The chiel important fact." says the paper about mosquitoes is this: without tht existence of stamling water theii breeding is impossible." lirings Rig Price.

ADVOCATES OF PEACE Most Significant Mooting Held In the Venerable Guild Hall in London. ?Resolutions .Adopted Hedging Support to Complete Anglo-American Arbitration. What Premier Asquith described as "this venerable Guild Hall," without whose seal of approval no popular movement in London, England, is launched, witnessed Friday a meeting for the adoption of resolutions pledging the city ?o the support of Anglo-American complete arbitration. The lord mayor of London in his scarlet robes and with the mace in front of him. held the center of a temporary stage. On his right was the prime minister, at his left former Premier Halfour, leader of the opposition in the House of Commons, while grouped about the mayor were the Archbishop of Canterburg, the Archbishop of Westminster, Lord Loreburn. the lord high chancellor; Lord Strathcona, high commissioner of Canada; Sir Joseph G. Ward, premier of New Zealand, and other notables. Over their heads the I nion Jack and Stars and Stripes were entwined. Mr. Asquith and Mr. Balfour spoke eloquently of the treaty first proposed by President Taft, declaring *hat it would mark a new era in civilization, but both pointedly disclaimed that a peace pact between Great Britain and the United States providing for the submission of all differences to arbitration would mean an alliance between the two countries. Mr. Balfour warned his hearers, than whom, he said, none in the world felt more the burden of preparing for war. that the treaty would not mean the immediate reduction cf armaments. The meeting represented the Democracy of England rather than the aristocracy. Among those on the platform were the Bishop of Hereford, the Kail of Aberdeen, lord lieutenant of Ireland: Sir Geo. H. Reid, high commissidner of Australia: agents of all the other British colonies, along with representatives of the banks, the railways and the steamship companies of England. Premier Asquith spoke in pari: ^'The unique situation which we have met to recosnize and welcome has not been organized or engineered by the apparatus of diplomacy. The seed which the president of the United States sowed fell on ground unpre pared to receive It. That wntcn h few years ago, even a few months ago, might have been regarded a^ the dream of idealists, has not only passed into the domain of practical statesmanship, but has become the settled purpose of tvfo great democracies. "The profound significance of the new departure is that, between Great Britain and the United States whatever the gravity of the issue and the magnitude of the interests involved; whatever poignancy of feeling may he aroused of war as a possible sj'iution, and the substitution of argument for force; and the supersession by judicial methods of the old ordeal of battle." After declaring that their proposed agreement implied no menace to the rest of mankind and did not pro vide for an Anglo-American alliance aggressive or defensive, the premier continued: "Hut we may hope and believe that i other things will follow. It is not for us to distate or to preach to oth er nations, but if the United States I and Great Britain renounce a war a ; step will be taken of immeasurable and incomparable significanse in the onward progress of humanity." .Mr. Asqulth then moved the fob 1 lowing resolution: ! "That this meeting of citizens of > London assembled in Guild Hall cori diallv welcomes the proposal of the i United States in favor of a general ' treaty of arbitration between that country and the British empire and pledges its support to the prinicples of such a treaty as serving the high' est interests of the two nations and i as tending to promote the peace 01 the world." 1 The resolution was received with 1 tremendous applause, which continu. ed until Mr. Balfour rose to second it i The opposition leader said that Anglo-American arbitration was nearer fruition at this moment than ever before in history. Some, he said, regarding it as an idealistic i dream and believed that when the t clash of conflicting interests came all paper barriers would be swept away UI1U II*.- VV/UllIi UVU . "It is true that t is follv to make ? international law fro far in artv met i of public o|tinion.

As Her Boy Cowers Under Death Threat Robbers Flee with $2,000 They Find. Two men in the uniforms of building inspectors and wearing the gold badges issued by the Building Department knocked at the door of Angelo Mayo's fiat on the second floor of No. 307 East Eleventh street, New York City Tuesday afternoon. When Mrs. .Mayo opened the door the men said they wanted to inspect the pHce. To questions Mrs. >m>o repiied that the seven rooms were occupied by herself, her hushand and their eight children. The men looked closely at the fire escapes, even testing its strength. "Now, how about the sink?" asked one of the men. She took the men to the sink. One crawled tinder the examined it * carefully. Then they went to the bedrooms. ?>lrs. Mayo explained that two of the rooms were occupied by her four daughters, two others by her four sons and another by herself and husband. Besides there was a parlor, dining room and kitchen. When '.Mrs. Mayo was showing the men about the rooms, her son Rocco, aged nine years old, came home from school. He followed his moth ed for a time and then went into a front room. "What do you keep in this uureau?" one of the men asked Mrs>. Mayo as he shook a big chiffonier. "That contains the clothes of my children, my husband and mys?lf," was the answer. Just then one of the fellows seized her by the throat and bore her lo the floor, choking her so that she could not breathe. Both drew revolvers. The second man wet a sponge with chloroform and pressed it against Mrs. Mavo's nose, holding it there until she was only half conscious. Then he produced a vial containing a white fluid and tried to force the stuff down her throat. Hut she clenched her teeth and the liquid poured over her dress. Again the chloroform sponge was applied, and when Mrs. Mayo became unconscious the intruders got strips of cloth and twine from the bureau and tied h?r hands and feet. When they were at this Itocro came to look for his mother. A revolver was thrust into his face and he was told he would be killed if he cried out. By that time both men had masks over their faces. While one of them held the boy at. revolver's point the other began a search of the flat. First he procured all the clothing from the wardrobe, tying it up in furniture coverings which he tore from chairs and^ofas. Then he searched drawers. For ten years Mrs. Mayo has been secretiy saving money given ?to hei by her husband for household expenses. She wanted to give him a pleas-_a J i? fntn'ro In am BUri'l IOC III uic lirai iuiu.v.. ... a bottom bureau drawer was a stockwhich contained $2,000 in bills ranging in denomination from $1 to $10. Mrs. Mayo was positive no one knew of the presence of this money. The robber drew out the drawer, turned it upside down and the old stocking fell out. He began to stuff bills in his pockets. So great was h!3 excitement that whe? $125 dropped on the floor he did not stop to grab it up. His companion pulled a $500 pair of earrings from the unconscious woman's ears. Then the men turned to the boy and told him he would be killed if he made an outcry. They walked out and, it is believed, ran to the roof and escaped by way of the adjoining building. Mrs. Teresa Massaro, a neighbor, was the first to reach Mrs. Mayo. She untied the victim's hands and removed the chloroform sponge. Then the police and doctors were called. Mrs. Mayo said one of lmr assail1 ants seemed to be about .15 years old, weighed 200 pounds, had dark hair slightly flecked with gray and apparently was a German. He was addressed as "IMll" by his companion, who was about .10. with light hair and eyes and with an Irish brogue.

' MINERS KILLED 1 * 1 Explosion in Coal Mine Brings Death to i ' Underground Workers TWENTY THREE IN MINE Disaster Occurs at Elk Garden, W. Va., and Cause so Far Unascertained?Rescuers Re^ln Work at Once with no Hope of Finding Any of the Victims Alive. At Elk Garden, W. Va., twenty three miners are entombed n Ott mine, No. 20, of the Davis Coal and Coke Company, as the result of of debris that has thus Tar deterred the progress of the rescuers. It can not be learned yet whether the explosion was caused by dust or gas. Officials of the company say they have never known tnelr mines to he gaseous. As soon as the accident became known. Superintendent Robert Grant organized a rescue corps of the miners off duty, and these attennted to enter the mine after notifying the officials of the coal company at Cumberland, Md. The rescue parties had not advanced for into the workings before they discovered it would take several days to dU through the heaps of roof coal and slate that had been loosened by the explosion. It was then decided to effect an entrance nearer the probably point of the explosion by cutting through the wall of an adjoining mine owned by the same company. Late Manday afternoon the rescuers had penetrated to No. 20 mine, at a point about 4,000 form the outside entry. They still remained about the same distance to go before reaching the miners. The Ott mine. No. 3 0, is almost directly under the town of Elk Garden, which is on a hill. The mouth of the mine is about half a mile from the town. In striking contrast to the usual mine explosions, the victims in this case, with one exception art Americans. The mine, usually employs 200 men on the day shtrt, ana aDoui the name number at night. A temporary suspension of work, however, required fewer men in the mines, else the casuaiities might have been greater. After penetrating about a mile down the main entry, the rescuers found the body of a man not yet identified. It was crushed beneath a fall of slate, as though the roof had crumbled as he was running out of the mine. The discovery of this body leads the rescue party to believe that none of the others are alive. Several yards beyond, the passage was completely blocked by the collapse of the roof. Behind and under this fall, it is believed, the bodies of the miners lay. Havoc which was wrought in the mine would Indicate that the explosion wan terrific. For a square mile or more the slate and coal was slit and props were splintered, letting the roof fall in large portions. srx ECLIPSE ON* FRIDAY. Interesting Phenomenon Will He Observed During Afternoon. A total eclipse of the sun will take place Friday afternoon which will prove an interesting phenomenon occurring at an hour when with fair weather conditions, it will be generally seen. Occurring as it does just before sundown, the whole progress of the eclipse can not be watched from this section of the United State, because of the setting of the sun before the shadow passes off; but there will be ample time to see the effect of the total shutting off of the sun's light. There will be a greater degree of darkness probably than at any other time of the day because of the nearness of the sun to the horizon, and the consequent lessening of the sun's rays in the air. The refraction will not be so great, and it will be night time in the day. The chickens will co to roost early and they will have I a long night. The eclipse will be visible in a large portion of the United States. The sun will set eclipsed east of a line drawn from Pittsburg- to Matagorda Hay, Texas. Washing on is at . the northern Atlantic boundary of the . area of visibility. The ellipse will be invisible north of a line drawn from Portland. Ore., through Mil. waukee and Pittsburg to Washington. The eclipse will be very small in the > Western and Middle States. At San ; Diego less than one-half of th<> sun's : face will be obscured, whils at Chica. go less than one-sixteenth will be ; eclipsed. "CAUSAIt HEAD" Tl RXEI).

[ tettBad ^ MURDER MYSTERY VEX;HO FOI'XD Wm'NDKIt IN <KLI.AH OF A BITLl)l\(>. He Hied on Tuesday and the Spartanburg Authorities Are Investigating the Cane. The Spartanburg Journal says on Friday morning Clarence Wlngo, colored, was found in an unconcious condition in the cellar of one of the new buildings on North Church street. He died at the People'^ Hospital Tuesday morning as the result of the mysterious wounds he received. An inquest was held over his body Tuesday afteinoon in the Floyd undertaking establishment, and the Jury returned a verdict that he came to his death trom causes unanown 10 them. I About six o'clock Friday mornirg Latis Haynes, a negro porter in Mr. Green's office, in coming through one of the new buildings, heard a noise as if someone was struggling for breath, and, after tracing the noise, found Wingo down in the elevator shaft. Help was called and the injured negro was taken to te hospital. Dr. G. A. Bunch was called in an.l found two dangerous wounds in the head, the skull broken on top and the left Jawbone broken. Foul play was suspected and Sheriff White and the police made a diligent search in the hope of unearthing some clue that would lead to a possible assailant. Dr. Bunch said that on two occasions Wingo regained consciousness ^ long enough to say that "Good hit him." Upon investigation, it was found that he had been going with a woman named Good, but she denies any knowledge of having seen Wingo on Thursday previous to the finding of Wingo Friday mornnig. It is believed that Wingo was knocked in the head and carried 'nto this building and thrown in tne elevator hole. The two wounds on the top of his head clearly show that to have sustained these by falling it would be necessary for a man to dive headfirst into the cellar. The sheriff is investigating the case closely and hopes to clear th" matter up in the next few days, and several arrests will more than likely follow. Wants Everybody Pardoned.
