% V' m BEGUN VUMIITTEEIUIS RE- rnn IN PRIHAIT CROWD PRESENT i la Some of Conn- Ua»--RoU Called for Report* From flmll inaa fTlilna for Probe of Charge* Adopted. — Meeting I>l»- tarbed by Crowd la Court Room. The Spartanburg correepondent of The State says although not quite eeneatlonal, the two opening sessions of the Jnveetlgatlon of the sub-com- nittee or the State £>emocratlc execu- tlT# committee to conduct an inquiry talte charges of fraud in the primary election of August 27 there Tuesday prpted far from quiet. The noise of tht two aeesions was furnished by the crowd that practically filled the court house in the early afternoon and at the later session packed the place considerably beyond its seating ca pacity. The majority of the “fuaa” came from the spectators. Irra more dignified manner continual objections from attorneys for the governor kept tho proceedings from being monot onous. Despite the constant Interruptions of practically all tho flsst session and over half the second the committee made a good start in the investiga tion It set out to make. The sub committee was organized; a plan of procedure was reached and put in ex ecution; reports were received and admitted from J. H. Park's division of the State, including the counties l from which he has received Infor mation; the routine work of the com mittee waa disposed of and when the committee met Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock W. H. Wilson Jr., will make his report of the counties in- Teetlgated in bis division. Explain* Tliolr Side. At the opening of the first meet ing, called to order In the court house at 1 p. m., attorneys for the governor, chiefly through F. H. Dominick, ex plained St some length to the com- m'tlee the position taken by them At I tbs afternoon session 3. J Nichols had much to say. At one time In the first session cheers and veils of ap plause for J. id tireer by (he spec tators consumed considerable rime and at the aftersoon session the crowd cheered lustily in approbation of remarks by Mr r.reer and K M i Jeffries. court room were many supporters of the governor end some of the IU< as» leaders of the Piedmont as well as Spartanburg county Visitors from a«T*ral nearby counties were inevl- eot reos who were desirous of fur nishing It. aa4 If It then reported that everything was all right then the public would not have tba right tf'Ci eafter to rise and condemn us for not getting information which It Itself failed to furnish upoa Invlta- tioi and sufficient time given. That Is the reason for the organization of the work as it was done, and for the postponement of this meeting until that organization could hare the op portunity to .do this work. Tillman’s Criticism. “Criticism of the probable outcome of the Investigation has been made by our distinguished senator,” said Mr. Stevenson, "whose advice will always he duly considered by me and whose wisdom 1 will always respect, whether I follow his advice or not. Pi cause I differed politically from tbe governor, I am not responsible for being on the committee, was not prenent.when IT was ordered, and for one or two days declined to serve but filially did reconsider and decide to serye,” The chairman then reviewed the a| pointment of the two sub-commit tees and the division of the State. He pointed out that, the chairmen of these sub-committees are two young, vigorous methodical attorneys who have never been connected with poll- tics, and he had separated himself abfcolutely from such evidence In or- (i< r to avoid "the Implied inference that oiir senior Senator said would be drawn." He reminded his hearers ah. that the public mind is now In a condition to accept evidence that may be brought out without unnecessary it. "The cooling time has been beneficial to the body politic,” he said. Mr. Stevenson suggested that a motion was in order to adopt a set of rules and suggested a plan previous ly outlined by the chairman through the South Carolina dally press. "I won't make it,” exclaimed Mr. Cireor, and this stirred the first outburst of ti e day from the crowd. When the ne!s<* subsided Col. liutler moved the adoption of tlie rules of procedure ptevlouslv suggested by Mr. Steven- s( n Tii Is was done. The chaiman in response to the uni ry from \lr. Dominick' held that no'ihcr party to iliu coutust waives at y legs 1 rlsfbtfl they may have in ap pearing before the committee.

Money From the Pensacola National Bank that Waa Stolen In Transit to Flomaton Several Days Ago, Turns Up Just as Mysteriously as It Dis appeared. A dispatch from Pensacola, Fla., as a result of the mysterious return to the First National Bank, some time Sunday night, of the $55,000 stolen while being delivered to the Louis ville and Nashville pay car at Flo maton, several days ago. a conference was held MondAJ night between of ficials of the bank and private detec tives and special agents investigating the robbery. The package containing the money was In the original wrapping as made up by tbe bank employees. It is said, and was enclosed In a newspaper. It was found 'Monday morning lying against the grating of the back door of the bank by the negro janitor, who first thought it a pair of old shoes. This indicates, according to the of ficials, that some one with previous knowledge, had prepared in advance, the dummy package containing mag- arine pages which was found in place of tho money when the shipment was opened in the Louisville and Nash ville pay car. ' Hums and Pinkerton detectives and special agents of the Souther! express Company are hot.on the frail of the man. They claim the package of currency, In its original package was found wrapped Monday morning it a morning Journal published on Thursday morning. It had been plac- e' 4 at the back door of the bank some time during the night and had rested tnrre unnoticed. The janitor had occasion to go to I p door, and opening the Inside door t* & package resting against the ron grating. He thought it was pair of old shoes, but when he picked If up the paper dropped off and he -aw plainly labelled "this package contains $55,000". He took It to the t ank official* and the latter Identlflci' It as the original package Intended foe the pavtna*ter of the Ixvuisville and Naahvllle Railroad Company Pivery dollar waa there, and the package had not been broken hy th< nan who atole It. and sent along a tin my to the paymaster of the Ixiii!« v.Ile and Nashville This dummy wa» Bank Clerk Tell* How He Arranged Bogus Package and Took the Money. William H. Bell, 20 years old, a bonk clerk, Tuesday night confessed that he robbed the local First Nation al Bank, Tuesday, of a package coa ta'.nlng $55,000 of the Louisville and Nafhville’s payroll, and substituted a bogus package In Us place. Fear that the officers would suspect hre brother Is said to have caused Bell to cor fess. The young bank clerk has been In the employ of the local bank for two years. In his confession to detec tives, he declared that he had plan ned to secure the money & week be fore the pay-roll was made up. Last Sunday he made a bogus package, similar In shape arid size to the pay rod package ef money filled with magazine slips. On Tuesday afternoon, when the Louisville and Nashville pay-roll was being fixed for shipment he slipped the package containing the $55,000 into his locker and substituted the package of paper In its place. No one noticed the change and the bogus package together with a shipment of $-0,000 was taken to the express of fice and receipted. Tuesday night Bell took the pack age of money to his home In a suit case. Activities by detectives atfcl of- fleiels when the robbery became known caused him to return the money Saturday. He wrapped tne package in a newspaper and after notifying the cashier of the First Na tint al Hank where the missing mon would he found, placed It on the back steps of the bank building. k'-J Hyom or hews s ishthe or > of thh terrible dhsaa* fa the peg we.
