The officials are, of courae, glad that “Tennessee Dutch” is dead, and Marshal Adams would like to pay the reward, but be does not desire to have the body de posited in his office Moore *nd a pal were killed some time ago In Tallahassee, and the bod lea were embalmed and kept for Iden tification by postoffice Inspectors “Tennessee Dutch" had an inter eating career from the time he be came a yeggnian, and had he liver to write a story of his life, the book would have had a ready sale. But one of the most Interesting escapades of his life probably was when he es caped from the Jail at Greenville las March. "Dutch” and a pal, George Hor ton, were captured after one of their raids In this State and locked up In the Jail at Greenville to await trial at the United States Court on the charge of safe-cracking. The pair were locked up apart from the other prisoners and could not be seen, but could converse together. They had friends on the outside, and It waa noticed afterwards that at fre quent Intervals a bag of fruit would be brought to the Jail and handed to the prl*6ners. They consumed tie fruit, hut each time carefully put the bag away for future reference. They were supplied, In some way, with nltro-glycerlne or some other high explosive, and they planned to plow through the cement floor of their cell. Their manner of working was novel In the extreme. Every- tlme that Horton was about to set off the explosive “Dutch” would stand by with a paper bag In his hand, blown up, and simultaneously with the explosion he would burst the bag. and throwing the pieces out of his . cell Into the passage, would remark In loud tones: “That was a good one.” or “that one made a big nols“, follows.” The noise from the explo sion of the nltro-glycerlne was sup posed to have been the noise of the ppppiog of the bag. So Horton and Moore .worked along uninterruptedly until they had enough of the floor blown ffway to enable them to escape, and one morning In March the pair were missing. Immediately the alarm was given and officers were notified of the es cape. One of the means of Identify ing Horton was that a part of his left arm was missing, and this fact waa made known. "Dutch" and Hor ton sped away, got safely across the line And continued their onward march Into North Carolina, leaving Greenville farther GShlnd at the set tltig of each day's sun. -The pair went along until they reached a station about six miles from Ashev kputy mar- who ■-avvaiert^otlced the pair and r ^ them. He did not shoot, ^-’hte reason that he wanted to be before he fired, and he was ooktng for a man with one arm. Hut Horton was carrying his overcoat on the stump of his left arm, and Rod gers came close to them before he called to them to surrender. Imme diately "Dutch” and Horton grabbed the officer, and while Horton was bus ily chewing off a part of his ear, '*I)utch" got posesslon of the officer's pistol and decamped, leaving his pal to his fate. Some railroad men in the vicinity, hearing the call for help, went to the rescue. They succeeded In overpowering Horton and subse quently he was landed safely in the Jail at Greenville. Horton was later tried and convicted and Is now serv ing time In the penitentiary at At lanta.

His efforts were rewarded and last fall he locat ed “Dutch” in New York State.

With a north-west wind blowing fifty-two miles an hour gale and a heavy weather prevailing, the three- masted schooner Frances, Captain Coombe, from New ¥ork~te Jackeon- .vtUe, was washed aahoi^ on the treacherous Hatteras coast early on Tuesday morning, and was pounded to pieces by the raging sea before life savers from the Cape Hatteras and Big Klnnekest Life Saving Sta tions could reach the Ill-fated ves- sell’s crew of ten men, who are sup posed to have been lost In the furious seas. ~r— Although none of the bodies have come ashore as yet, the life savers report that there was no possible means of escape, for thoae aboard The wreck was discovered from big Klnnekast Station a short tome after daybreak.

MADE A RIG ROW. Been use Hl» Wife Warms Her Feet on His Rack. Are cold feet a ground for divorce? Because a wife Is afflicted with frigid pedal extremities and persists in warming them upon the small of her ■husband's back, Is he Justified In put ting her out of the room and making her go asleep in the servant’s quar ters? These and kindred questions came up before Recorder Broyles in Atlan ta In connection, with the trial of E. T. Gibbs, a prominent coal contrac- ■f^^ip^Itt^Jerlyco n d uc t and cruel treatment of Mrs. Gi In addition to declaring his wife's feet were so frosty that he spent his nights envying Cook and Peary in stead of sleeping, Gibbs said his wife was abdlcted to cigarette smoking and reading French novels.

President Tnft’* Cabinet D Because He Antagonized Friend* of Ballin ger'* in the Alaska Deal. (In testifying before the Ballinger Plnchot Investigating committee on Monday Lewi* R. Glavla told of a conversation he had with a Judge 'McKenzie, in which the latter aald the -e&son James R. Garfield waa not la .EreaMept’a Tift's cabinet waa hit antagonism to the coal claimanta in Alaska. “Did he tell any other reasons why Mr. Garfield waa not In the cabinet?" asked Mr. Olmsted amid laughter. "No, sir.” Senator Hobr here entered vigor ously Into the examination. "Who did McKenzie make this statement to?” he asked. “T. Special Agent Jpnea and my self. We made an affidavit to that effect." “Why did you make an affidavit?’ "I thought It would be worth re membering In the further investiga tion of these cases If we had to call McKenzie as a witness." “When did you make the affida vit?” “In September, 1909.” "After you had seen President Taft?" "Yes, sir.” "Now, again, why was It you made that affidavit?" Inquired Senator Root. "I thought It might be of Interest to President Taft If I had another opportunity to see him." “Did you Intend to send it to President Taft?” "I had that In mind.” “Did you send it?" “No, I thought I would show it to him when he came to Seattle." “And you did send It where?" "To the forest service.” • Glavis added that he thought the affidavit would also be of Interest to Mr. Garfield. "You did not do It with the idea of attacking President Tuft?" asked Senator Root. “No.” “You swear you did not?” “I swear." “Did you think It would aid the president?" “I didn’t know; I don’t think it would Injure him.” "Who is this man McKenzie?" ask ed Representative Madison. “He Is interested in the Dalton group of claims In Alaska and is known among the agents as a lobby ist here i^i Washington.” Glavis was questioned closely as to why the statement as to Mr. Gar field made such an impression upon him. “Because I thought It was true,” he replied. "Did you regard McKenzie as a man of prominence enougn to speak knowingly of such matters?” asked Senator Root. “I knew he had been mighty sue cessful in getting things through con gress.” “Was McKenzie a friend of Presi dent Taft?” "No, sir.” Representative Dendy questioned Glavis further about making an affl lavit of a statement which he said reflected upon President Taft. Glavis said the impression McKen zie left was that influential people opposed to Secretary Garfield had urged the president not to retain Mr. Garfield, for various reasons. He did not say the president had not retain ed Garfield because of his opposition to the coal claimants. u thought H wa-^.a boast by the McKenzie?” suggested RepTe? tatlve Madison. “I remarked to Jones that if he had strength to get rid of Garfield he could also get rid of us, too." Glavis said he did not think Mc Kenzie’s statement was intended in any way as a reflection upon Presi dent Taft. On motion of Senator Root, the forestry service was requested to pro duce the affidavit which had caused such a flurry in the committee.

The case of Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr., petitioner, against Senator B. R. Tillman and his wife, Mrs. S. S. Tillman, for the custody of the two children of Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Till man, Jr., was taken up by The fu-" preme court at Columbia on Mon day morning and occupied the whole of the morning session. The Dally Record says the largest crowd that has visited the usually empty court room filled that hall when the case was called, a large number of the spectators being ladles of Columbia, including relatives and friends of the parties In the suit. The petitioner, a young woman of strikingly handsome person and re fined face, was accompanied by sev eral ladies and gentlemep pf her fam ily. Senator Tillman and his son, Mr. B. R. Tillman, Jr., sat on the opposite side of the court room, but the younger man soon left the room. The elder Mrs. Tillman and the two children were in another part of the building. The return of the respondents to the rule to show cause why the writ of habeas corpus should not issue was purely formal, denying such parts of the petition as were legally necessary to be denied, and there was no re flection whatever on the petitioner. The return was first read by Mr. Thurmond, who is counsel for Sea- ator Tillman, which was follower by the affidavit of Senator Tillman. A brief affidavit was then presented from Trenton neighbors, testifying to the character and ability of Senator Tillman and his wife as fit persons to have the care and custody of the children. These affidavits were, as pointed out In the affidavit of the senator, put In merely to satisfy the technical rules of the court, as the respondents did not consider it was necessary to present testimony to bolster up their reputations. At the conclusion of the reading of the affidavits for the respondents, Mr DePass, who is the counsel for Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr., presented a num ber of affidavits in reply, two of them being by the petitioner, Mrs. B. R Tlllman- 'Jr. The tenor of these was to show -th^t the differences between her and her husband had been ag gravated by the conduct of Senator and Mrs. Tillman. Several letters from Senator Till man to his son’s wife were included as exhibits along this line, and It was also set forth by the affidavits of Mrs. Tillman, Jr., Mr. W. W. Shep pard, Mrs. W. W. Sheppard and oth ers that Senator Tillman had made some references to a deceased rela tive of Mrs. Tillman, Jr., which had enraged her on one occasion and that following this incident she had de dared her Intention never to have anything further to do with her hus band’s family. The exact nature of this remark was not explained In the affidavit, except that It was said to be Insulting. There were also presented letters to Mrs. Tillman, Jr., from Mrs. Till man, Sr., and from Miss Sophie Till man, as well as letters to his wife from Mr. Tillman, Jr., the purpose being to show the attitude of the Till- MaJady of a Wealthy North Garoltn- ian. Who Went to Toledo to Mar ry, Pozzies Doctor*. Phyilclan* and detective* are my*- terfled over the peculiar condition In which J. F. Smlthwick, a wealthy cotton merchant of South Creek, Beaufort county, North Carolina, h&a remained for two weeks at the State Hospital at Toledo, Ohio. During his strange aleep, which began sixteen day* ago, Smlthwick ha* not spoken over a dozen words and at all times seems to be unconscious. It was supposed when Smlthwick wk* found unconscious In hi* room that he was the victim of gas, a small o*s Jet above his head being, found part 1 a I ly t u rned oh. , There is no doubt in the minds of physicians that Smlthwick’s condition has been brought on by something besides gas At no time has the victim come Into actual consciousness. At times be opens his eyes and watches the fig ures In the room, but does not speak. Smlthwick formed an acquaintance with a Toledo girl through an ad vertisement published In a matri monial paper. After several week’s correspondence he came to Toledo and met his fiance. According to her statement they had planned an early date for their marriage. ^ When he was found unconscious in his room at the hotel the police started an investigation but the whole affair appears as much a mys tery as it did the day he was found unconscious. Smlthwick Is fed through a tube and is given principally liquids. He has not been removed from the ho tel, as It is feared any movement might prove fatal. The attending physicians do not entertain much hope for his recovery. And so Smlth wick remains sleeping. When he will awake Is as deep a mystery as what caused his relapse Into the un conscious state. Up to the present he has slept just 384 hours. Several nurses have been In con stant attendance working under the directions of attending physicians, who had charge of the victim’s case. Many physicians, both local and for eign, have been called In to see the patient, but all go away with a shake of the head—they are as puzzled as the rest.

GUIDE SAVED BY TOURIST. Hang* on the Safety Rope Until Help Came to Their Aid. Hermann Biner, one of the most popular Alpine guides at Zermatt, Switzerland, had a terrifying exper ience while making an ascent of the Brelthorn, and was only saved from death by the heroism of the tourist who accompanied him. Bluer was engaged by Dr. Shlvel, a Munich physician, to guide him to the summit of the Brelthorn, which Is 13,000 feet high. After the Doctor had crossed a snow-covered crevasse above the Theodule pass, Biner at tempted to follow, but the snow bridge collapsed. The guide dropped thirty feet over a precipice and remained suspended by the rope which bound him to Dr. Shlvel. The latter, notwithstandnlg the terrible strain, managed to hold the guide In midair for two hours, meanwhile shoultlng for help. Wihen the Doctor was nearly ex- hauset and Biner had shouted to him to cut the rope and save himself, two Italian smugglers, heavily laden came over the Theodule pass. Hearing the shouts they rescued the guide and assisted Dr. Shlvel, conveyed him nearly to Zermatt Then the smugglers disappeared, hav ing refused to accept any reward for their services. WAYLAID BY FOOTPADS. Jeweler Robbed by Three Bandits Who Make Their Escape. Three bad men are somewhere In the mountains of West Virginia with $3,000 In money and dlamons worth $10,000, which they took by force from C. C. Testerman, a Jeweler, of Matewan, W. Va., while he was re turning home from his shop. The men were masked when they waylaid the Jeweler, bound and gag ged him, and after relieving him of all that he had, they escaped to the woods. Bloodhounds were pnt on their trail, but were unable to track them on account of tRe heavy rain fall. Testerman says that he secured the diamonds from a Cincinnati! firm and was to have sold them on commission. CHOKED ON FREE LUNCH. Failed to Swallow Piece of Meat He Was Eating.

Tillman ters were personal In the extreme In their character, all of them giving out evidence of the very unfortunate situation within the family circle. Several letters from young Mr. Tillman to his wife were also pre sented, written during the last fall, when they were preparing to make their home in Washington again, these being couched in endearing terms and expressing great regret for his previous errors and shortcomings. The purpose of their presentation was said to be to show that Imme diately prior to their seperatlon the last time there was apparently no reason for such action and that the taking of the children was entirely unexpected and uncalled for. In one of her affidavits presented in reply, young Mrs. Tillman declared that when she was taken ill in Wash ington In November last, her hus band before telephoning for a physi cian telephoned first for a bachelor friend and then for a physician and that in her hearing, In the next room to that In which she was 111, her hus band explained to his friend that the reason he sent for him was that his wife might die and he wanted a wit- tiess to the fact that he had given her proper attention, so that her rel atives could not bring any accusation against him. In another affidavit were included letters from young Mr. Tillman ex pressing th* deepest contrition for ac cusations he had made against his wife at the time of their first sepera- tion, involving “Jim” l . and declaring that his action was then due to his own drunken condition, going on to assert 'h'ls'love/for and confidence-In his wife and her purity of character.
