WILSONJTIRES DOES ROT AGIEE VITO PRESI DENT ABOUT THE BRYAN GIVES HIS VIEWS SECRETARY OF STATE AGREES WITH PRESIDENT. CHINESE LOAN HATTED Assistant Secretary of State's Re quest That His Resignation be Im mediately Accepted, Respected by President Wilson, Who Acts Ac cordingly.—Had Agreed to Serve Cntil Successor Could be Named. Huntington Wiison, Assistant and Acting Secretary of State, has resign ed that office and insisted upon im mediate acceptance of the resignation because of his radical difference of opinion with the administration re garding its Chinese policies. President Wilson immediately ac cepted the regisnation. Mr. Wilson, like all assistant sec retaries in the various departments, t<-niiert‘d resignation as a matter of form to President Wilson directly up on the latter's assumption of office. Mr. V, ilson was ret)nested to continue in his place until it should be con venient for the President to name his successor. He consented to do so to accomodate Secretary Rryan in his desire to mako his present visit to Lincoln, Neb. The issuing of the statement from the \\ hitc House defining the admin istration s attitude regarding the Chi nese loan negoiationa is believed to have been regarded by Assistant Sec retary Wilson as sufficient to Justify him in requesting to be relieved at once from duty. After telegraphic notice to Secre tary Mryan of his intentions, Mr. Wil son late Thursday afternoon dis patched a note to the White House terminating hie own service, and President \\ ilson at once designated Second Assistant Secretary Adee to act as Secretary of State during Sec- letary Hr>an s present absence A probable result of the r<-«igna- t:*n isill tie the immediate api>oin?- niei,' uribr a rec**ss commission, o Ji't.ti i-a.-i.-tt Moore as counsellor of tti-- department uf State with author it> to ait as s.s retary In a tbousai. ! word letter to Pres Met.' \Nil«nn the former Acting Sec retary of Stale set forth that »hen he consented to continue for a time with the new administration he did not und-rwiand there were to be any rad b a 1 ' tianges of policy for which he wonl! t„. , ailed upon to act as s;H>W-t«nian The letter continued In par' !.»' be. ornes the duty of the !' \. ■ I l' tl tt c re'arv (>f State in dis itistr:n tions to the repre ■ « 'boernni' n' abroaii i• <•* ■ mtimun;• «' on ACTED VERY BADLY HAD A HOT THE IN A POVERTY PUT AT ONION He Also Makes Rome Comments on the Resignation of HU Republican Assistant. Secretary of State Bryan Thursday said he was entirely in sympathy with President Wilson in the latter’s gtt*- tude on the proposed Chinese loan. He declared also he was unable to agree with what former Ass'sUnt Secretary Huntington Wilson had to say concerning the six-power agree ment. “I can not, of course, agree with the former Assistant Secretary,” said iMr. Bryan, “in what he says concern ing the six-power agreement. Tho representatives of a group of bankers were heard and the matter was con sidered by the President. The prin ciples involved were such that it did not require any great length of time for the President to understand or act upon them. “The Assistant Secretary handed in his resignation when President Wilson took the oath of office and ex pected to sail for Europe last Tues day. Having to leave the city for a few days, I asked him to delay his departure until T returned. This he consented to do, but he seems to have felt that the change of policy prevent ed his remaining. He looked at the Chinese loan proposition from the standpoint that former President Taft and the late Secretary Knox did. "I have no doubt that in the mat ter of the Chinese loan, the late Pres ident and retiring Secretary and As sistant Secretary did what they thought best for our country and China, but I am entirely In sympathy with the attitude of President Wil son and heartily endorse both the position taken and the language em ployed by him. and I may add that I am sure Europe will approve of the change in policy I am equally confi dent that China will rejoice at our nation's atMtude “My associations with the Assist ant Secretarv Mr Wilson have been verv pleasant I have found him courteous and helpful during my con nection with the department '' TALKS OF MARTIAL LAW WARNED AGAINST BECKER MAYOR GAYNOR WAR TOLD HE WAR A VERY RAD MAN.

The following from The Union Times will be read with interest: There was quite a stir in Union Saturday night, near midnight, and in Poverty Flat. C. D. Fortner, a member of the legislature from Spar tanburg and a man named Forbes have been operating in Union as de tectives for Gov. Blease. Fortner came to Union Tuesday and gave his name to Chief of Police Evans as “Smith”, representing the Virginia Life Insurance Co. He ask ed Chief Evans questions about Geo. Fowler ,1^., and the breaking in the U. & G. S. depot. Chief Evans soon found that "Smith” was operating under an assumed name. Forbes claimed to be acting as detective in the Coleman and Edge murder cases. On Saturday night Fortner was acting badly in the Flat. The trou- ble commenced at Purcell's alley; Forbes was rolling on the alley. Fortner was holding his coat. Fort ner wa« cursing so that Mr. Purcell had to call him down. Mr. Painter also called him down. He continued cursing until a policeman was sent for. When he found out that a po liceman had been sent for he said he would search Will Estes’ place that night: that Estes had liquor stored there and he was going to get it; that Estee had made his threats he was going to show him wat he could BO He went out and met Policeman J H May told him he was going to 'search Will Estes' place and to come on with him He was talking !n a loud tone of voice ''I'm going to search the place or put the whol». town under martial law " U<- came to police headquarters and met M M Stroud, tie put | red Stroud to go with him and raid Estes When Stroud refused to go stating he could not le^ve, then he tried to force Stroud to go Stroud knocked him down He then deputtxed Police man Hli. the latter refusing to go without orders from Chief 'Where ran I get him" ' Over the telephone " he was fold Chief s telephone rang Just as he got home Fortner phoned <*hlef Evans I am Fortner Chief State detective ' Said he wanted to raid some places In town that he had found a lot o' Pj.ior there, and hr The Condemned Man’s Brother-In- Law Given Him a Very Bad Record All Around. At New Tort on IFTlday letters read before the Aldermanic commit tee Inveetigating police graft showed that Mayor Gaypor and Police Com missioner Waldo were warned against the character of Police Lieut. Charles Becker as far back as Au gust, 1911. John F. Lynch, brother- in-law of Becker, bitterly denounced the former police officer in a letter to the, mayor. The letter was referred to Commissioner Waldo, who told the Mayor that "this seems to be a fam ily row”, and “Becker is doing excel lent work.” “One of my sisters is, unfortunate ly his wife. She works for him, teaches school,” Lynch wrote of Becker, “and he, hero-like, takes her money. She being away, he asked another of my sisters to come to his house yesterday to cook, but imme diately attempted to assault her. She successfully resisted him, threat ening to cut his throat with a knife, whereupon he got his revolver and shouted that he would shoot her. “By yelling ‘murder’ she was able to get out. He threatened her with arrt st and said he would get one of his squad (the ‘strong arm’ squad) to catch her on the street some night and lock her up for soliciting. She came home crying and with her waist torn." In a postscript to his letter to the mayor.

An estimate was recently made of the cost of a great European war which should involve the important countries of Europe, says a London special. The figures in tho estimates were most impressive. There would be under arms something like 22,- 000,000 men. At a conservative esti mate the cost of keeping these men would be between two and three dol lars a day per man. All this would be quite aside from the damage which would be done by such tre mendous forces coming into conflict and the work which would be left undone, when these many millions of men became parasites instead of workers.

Fant said: “I have already search ed.” They went through again. No whiskey was found. In the mean time Estes was arrested by the sher iff and put under $200 cash bond. On Sunday before this same buil 1- ing was searched, but nothing ex cept a few empty bottles was foun'i Fortner came out after the search. He then searched Purcell's place without any warrant: said he did not have one. Purcell called Sergeant Wood and told him to search the place, but that he did not want this fellow Fortner to search. That he had been kicking up a racket all night. Purcell swore out a warrant for disorderly conduct against Fort ner. No one appeared against Stroud. The detectives left Sunday for Chester.

He repented hla warn ing against what he considers the “ravenous scramble for office” in which the Democrats are indulging. Senator Tillman’s utterances enme as a suggested afterthought to hit sensational speech, delivered before the caucus, in which he yielded his contention for chairmanship of the appropriations committee which, by right of seniority, he claimed should have fallen upon his shoulders but was given by the steering committee to Senator i.Martin, of Virginia. Thti surrender, the Senator told the cau cus, was made for the sake of party harmony. Asked what had been the effect of what he considered a gross injustice and a violation of the rule of senior ity, that has obtained for so long in the Senate, and also what effect it would have on his attitude to the Wilson adminisration, Senator Till man said: “I am not brooding over it. I am not unhappy about it. “Perhaps it was a special provi dence to keep me from killing myself at work for the success of the Wood- row Wilson administration. “What pussies ms,” ths Senator said, “Is how Martin Jumped over my head to become a Progreeeive, and if he was not progressive enough to be made chairman of the caucus, why h# should have been made chairman of the appropriations committee.” Then as if to dismise that thought, he added. "But I more earneetly dee Ire Wliaon’s eucceee as president, and the realisation of the hopes of the country, than anything for myself.

The Amt care should be for efficiency of gov ernment. snd I hope and believe that will be President Wilson’s policy.” Although asked for an expression of opinion on the political situation In South Gsrollna. Senator Tillman xtould not dlscuas State politics, ex cept to say “I am holding my nose every time I think of the situation snd wishing I was strong enough to get on the stump again and talk to the people about it.” Senator Tillman, however, intimat ed that he expected to as plods a bomb in th# political camp in hla State, although he refused to any what It was. “Ton mny Juat any,” he aald.
