Friday the House adopted a resolution, the intent and purpose of which Is to clear the floor and back ajple of all except memoers. Under the rules State officers, Judges, for mer members, Senators, trustees and officers of State colleges are permit ted on the floor of the House. Fri day the odd-time custom of permit ting delegations, interested parties and perhaps “lobbyists” access to the floor was put under the ban. No women, except one, the State librarian, under the Welch resolu tion, will be entitled to admission to the main floor of the House. The House then went a step further and requested the Speaker not to exer cise his privilege of issuing cards of admission. After it was all over, Speaker Smith thanked the members for their consideration in relieving him of the difficulty of determining who should be granted cards and who should not be. This is not Intended to mean that the House will not want visitors, nor that It will not want audiences to hear the oratory of its gifted mem bers—not at all. It wants audiences and wants them regularly, but it wants them tn the galleries, and to that end, as soon as the ban was placed on visitors on the floor of the House, a resolution was adopted au thorizing the purchase of plenty of ehalrs. cushioned ones If need be. but they are to be distributed in the Rtllery The real difficulty Is that the • coustics of the House are vile and ‘be members who have rear seats can make themselves heard with d: Nelij, and they want to *et rid of TERRIBLE TRAGEDY ENACTED IN CALIFORNIA. AN HEIRESS STOLEN A # YOUNG LADY IS BOUIIT TAIEN FROM HER HUE A Young Man Appears Suddenly at Dinner Party and Uses Two Pistols "With Deadly Results. A dispatch from San Francisco. Cal., says Donald J. Jadwtn, son of n wealthy Brooklyn family, shot and killed his wife, Minna Vanvergen Jadwin, well known in society there, as she sat at dinner with other mem bers of the family. He then shot himself, inflicting a wound from which he died two hours later. They had been married sevqp months, and until a short time ago had been leaders in the smart circle, in which Mrs. Jadwin s family held high place. She was 19 years old and her husband six years older. According to members of the family Jadwin and his wife quarreled ten days ago and the young husband left the house in a rage. When all the family, tncluding the young wife’s mother, grandmother, aunt and brother were at dinner. Jadwin c»me into the dining room apparently happy and ready for con ciliation. Approaching his wife smil ing, kissed her tenderly and in a flash whipped out two pistols and shot twice. Both bullets took /Xect and the young woman died instantly. Be fore the horrified relatives could move Jadwin placed the muzzle of JOUBNED IN A TAXICAB Bold Kidnapers Almost Bneceed In Daring Plan, But Is Foiled by tho Driver. Who Heads the Aatomo- bile for the Police Station, and Kidnapers Are Arrested. Facing a sentence of life Impris onment at Allentown, Pa., for the attempted kidnaping of an heiress to millions, Samuel Sinclair Jr., and R. Walter Star Jr., have put forward a novel plea for their defense. Sin clair, the principal In the bold plot, insists that the alleged kidnaping o' Miss Anna A. Steckel, the daughter of a retired millionaire business men of that city, was not s kidnaping at all, but an elopement plot which was to result in him marrying the pretty society girl. The indignant denial entered by Miss Steckel against this story is blandly explained by Sin clair who says that the girl got ‘ cold feet" and Is now trying to place him in prison to save herself “Klnp. merit, nothing'’’ declares the aged father of the girl. “I saw my daughter being rtragged out of one of the revolvers to his head and , home by these two men pulled the trigger The wedding of the young woman and Jadwin was one of the leading society events of the city last June Until recently Jadwin spent all of his time at home or at the clubs, in t-evernl of which he htld membership From his father he had Inherited a j substantial Interest In a wholesale * drug company in Brooklyn, now run- !

It has been • matter of much distress and morti fication to the youvig lady that any public comment was made about it at all. Mlsa Brown’s statement of the matter is as follows: She left her home in Kershaw on thn Slst of December to go via Cam den to Tislt a friend, Miss Raley, at McBee, until the opening of her school on the 6th of January.

Whereas, the position of Secretary of Agriculture Is one In which the most vital interests of the South are concerned, especially so since the en couragement of our development in production and economy has receiv ed attention from the department over which this official presides, and. Whereas, the South hat, through this development, been the grestest contributor to the weslth of the na tion, we feel that the Interests of the Booth are worthy of every con sideration by those in power In the Adatalstratlon; end. Whereat, this development of the flouth agriculturally is is yet only la IM tala#ey, and most, for th* South We feel that In this appoint ment the agricultural Interests of the South and of the whole country win receive the moat Intelligent and ef fective aid. because of the experience of Dr. Page In this work, and that he will honor the people of the South in the selection of a won of North Carolina, a man whose great est work has been constantly and unflaggtngly devoted to the real problem of the masses of the people and the development of the farm, the elevation of the farmer and the whole people of the country. We urge him as a national charac ter, whose work haa been confined to no section of the country, nor to any particular people. The following resolution was adopted; Resolved, That the State Farmers' Union earnestly endorses the request of the State Plant Breeders' Asso ciation made of the General Assem bly to make an appropriation of $1,- 500 for the furtherance of the work of this Association, which promises so much to the development of the agricultural industry of the State. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved: that the legislative com mittee of the State Farmers' Union of South Carolina be instructed to ask the Legislature to enact a law providing for the State of South Car olina to purchase the Gaffney Lime Works at Gaffney, S. C., and work same with State convict labor, dnd tc be operated so that the State shall receive a small profit from the pro ceeds.

Mis* Layer admitted she loved the priest, but was devout In her adopt ed faith. She did not want him to make the sacrifice, for she knew that he would have to give up his church She consented, however, after being told by Father Gallagher that he ha 1 already gone so far that he could no longer be assistant rector at the cathedral whether she married him or not. t h»* ni'n followed th* nlrl Into the nr and told him to dr ‘» e on. be d*- t« rmnifd to turn th* entlre party O 1 * r to ih* pollr* H* drove a- ' 1 rr ik m .-k Np«**d. s’.d In turning * . or i*r rri»*h*d.
