Public opinion, the sovereign voice In lawmaking, la to decide whether there shall be currency legiHlatlon during the present session of Con gress. This was the view which Rep resentative Oscar Underwood, the Democratic leader In the House, took after a conference with President Wilson at the White House on Mon day In the face of conflicting expres sions from prominent Democrats In Congress as to the necessity for cur rency reform during the present ses sion, It Is the avowed purpose of the Administration to launch a currency bill in the House and Senate before Friday of this week, which will be accompanied, or followed, by the President's message describing what he believes to be the necessity for banking reform. Then, according to Mr. Underwood, the plan of the Houss will be to rest on Its oars, thoroughly discuss the new banking proposals, and await the expression of the newspapers of the country and the opinion of bankers and business men generally as to the merits of the Democratic proposals Tba President strongly bellexe* tbst the country will hack him up In his views that the currency system ought to be reformed so as to slier late any stringency that might follow tbs passage of the tariff bill Kepre ssatatlve Underwood, after his con fersare with the President ssl 1. thet while the Democratic party had made wp Its mlftd what ought to be done aw the tariff, csrreney reform «aa practically a aew question to It. and It ws«l4 he Impeestble to predict how losg ths House would lake for a die cwsaioa of the bill He took the pesfttoa that the currency situation eoald he solved by ths attitude ehlch the satioa revested whea the bill was debs led thoroughly MaaaOms.

Members of the banking and cur rency committees of both houses wll be In frequent conference hereafter with the President, and while the bll as presented will carry Adminlstra tlon approval, It will be subject to amendments and suggestions gener ally In both houses That differences of opinion can be harmonized is the confident expectation of both the President and Mr. Underwood. The framers of the bill have made no authoritative version of the bill and up to this time they declared there had been no final agreement as to detail. The main essentials— the distribution of reserves and the elasticity of the currency—have been finally agreed on only after wide dif ferences of opinion among the cur rency advocates themselves were re conciled. A more conciliatory spirit toward the currency plan prevailed among members of the House committee on Monday, following a visit to the White House by Representative Phe lan, of MassadhThs^tts, oh<6 of the members.

The Union Progress says as the season has come whe severe storms are to be expected, and If the fore casts of a well known weather proph et are to be credited they will be un usually numerous and severe this year, then It Is well to consider the dangers and precautions. It Is well known that steel is a conductor of lightning, and telephone and telegraph wires most frequently attract the bolts that cause poles and other objects to be shattered, and yet people are so engrossed wjth bus iness affairs, or careless as to ob serving ordinary care, that they will use a telephone during severe storms. This is very dangerous, and should be avoided, not only for the sake of the person using the telephone, but for the central operators as well. Kvery years there are recorded deaths because people use telephones during storms, and not only last summer we knew a young man who was knocked unconscious and re mained dazed for hours because he answered a telephone that was rung during a bad storm. When one is working outdoors and a storm comes up, It seems the most natural and best thing to run for shelter under some tree, and yet few places are more dangerous It is really much safer to remain In the open, for It Is a rare thing to hear of a lightning bolt striking In an open place, where It is a ornmnn occurrence to hear of trees being torn to smithereens All tlie recognized auth,orltu-s *a> that one is ner-oaarl!y Jeopardlrng life during a s'orm to stand or sit * here there Is a draught and »h!'> It may be warm and unpleasant b-r a brief time to have windows r!<.*.• ! as glass la a no < ondurtor of light nlng. and where there is no draught It Is rertalnlr much sa'er In time of storms msnv animals • re seemingly p<>es«#ed of a gregte- fear than man and for that reaaon thev often wish to rro»d around thetr human friends, hut th.s also Is a aourc# of danger as an'msls at tract lightning preeumablv because of their animal heat many of them ••wmIngly charged with electrlci'y As there Is danger from lightning when one go** under trees for safe ly so aian Is there danger In fields If one to plowing <>r follnw'ng a team or handling iron while their feet are oa damp or wet groan 1 for as Is known about telepbonee the earth when wet forms a complete circuit and lays one liable to danger from elertrlrtly In storms of lightning and thun der as well as when there la wind or hall or rala or any other demonatra tlon of nalurw.

He was on the stand for several hours ani proved an entertaining witness. He told the commitee how New V.n k hankers, who helped to organize the beet sugar company, insisted up on putting in about $ l r>,000,‘»0b ‘‘water” in about 120.000,000 cor poration; how how he and them had made about a million by the sale of this watered stock and gave warnin that the Underwood bill sugar provision would rasult formation of a new “Sugar Trust”, which would not violate the anti trust law. AFTER THE LOBDi BELIEVE GIGANTIC SCHEME HAS BEEN FOUND SOME PRIVATE PAPERS Tr*U Followed for Two Weeks Leads to Washington Headquarters of Beet Sugar Industry—Alleged An ti-Free Sugkr Campaign With Newspapers. The trail of thp ‘‘lobby” the Sen ate has been following for more than two weeks led Tuesday into the private files of the men in charge cf the Washington olhces of the Unit ed Sates Beet Sugp.r Industry, the leading instrument cf the campaign against free su^ar, and by orginals of letters and telegrams, and what purported to be copies of others, de veloped testimony of what appeared to be an attempt at a far reaching campaign to create public sentiment against free sugar through the col umns of individual newspapers and the facilities of press associations.

With his left shoulder crushed lit erally to pieces and a fearful hole in his skull, crushed hone particles and piedes of a felt hat resting against the brain, Joe Maroney, a35-year-old white man, residing at Oakwood, in Aiken county, was found early Tues day morning in an unconscious con dition beside the Southern Railroad tracks, about six miles east of Aiken and one mile east of Montmorenci. The wounded man was brought to Aiken and all day local physicians labored faithfully to preserve his life. The bone particles and hat felt resting on the brain surface were re moved successfully, when It became apparent that he man had also suf fered a fracture at the base of the brain. For this there was no reme- ,dy, and he died about 6 o'clock Tues day afternoon. The physical facts in the case, the position of the body, the location of the wounds and the train schedules make it appear that he was sitting evidently on a cross-tie, jutting from the track, and that the so-called “midnight train" from Augusta, passing about 12 4. r > at night, struck him and knocked him off.

The correspondence covered much of 1911 and the early part of 1912 when the Underwood free sugar hill was introduced In the House. The letters produced indicated that Ham lin had made contr-aeta with “news plate” concerns that furnish matter to small papers and had urged beet sugar men in different parts of the ^country to attempt to secure pub Hefty in^ their own localities and news agencies. Included in mass of correspondence were let ters from Aaron Gove, which show ed that he had made an extensive tour for the same purpose. One letter from the Hamlin file, written from Washington on Decern her 2, 1911, to Charles B. Warren, president of the Michigan Sugar Co. said in part: “Visited one big town eacli day of my trip and Invariably succeeded in getting our story in at least one of the loading papers. Of course some handled it more satis factorily than others but generally speaking they all did well.” The value of publicity was empha sized further In another letter writ ten at Fargo, N. D., by Gove, to Hamlin, In Washington. It referred to an Interview that had gone out which waa designated at the “Ar- buckl^ Interview,” and Gove urged the use of "patent inside” to reach the country readers. "Many farmers read those patent insldee," he said "When I looked It ■p I fosnd that a stack of stot ev- I Mtt.i -.1 Ms \ I! F -I'l NT •Migar Mnn s* v» ‘■>-naf<>r* \rr M>>»t|) HI* i-rir-nxl*.

Mr. Oxnard’s initials are "H.

I have had some very encouraging interviews as to next winter, but the issue promises to be warmly contested. Senators like Borah insist that they want to be shown. He used those words to me this morning.” A letter to Hamlin from H. A. Douglas, of the Minnesota Sugar Company, of Chaska, Minn., dated at Detroit, April 6, 191, said: "We think that it would be a wise plan to have Mr. C. T. Fenton, man- aper of the Minnesota Sugar Com pany, who la now in Washington, meet the Iowa Senatora and advise them of the posibllity of Minnesota Sugar Company extending its Intar- sits In Northern Iowa in case of a satisfactory sugar tariff seCUmeaL" IU<v*xa4* Again Kolkixas TUInian. In his open letter to Governor llU'ftjxe last summer Senator Tillman pointed out very plainly the essen tial difference between “Tillmanism and Bleaseism.” In many things Governor Bleaae haa followed niu the way that eSnator Tillman blazed out. So much ao that he has been accused of aping all that the Senior Senator has done that he thinks will aid him in getting to the United States Senate when Senator Smith’s term expires This is his chief am bition now, and he claims to be con fident that he will succeed in doing so, but this remains to be seen. Governor Blease’s stunt at the convention of Governor’s in Rich mond with reference to the negro, and indeed all he has ever said on the race question, had been better said or done before him by the Sen ior Senator. Governor Blease’s let ter to President Wilson about rev enue license is another instance of his following in the tracks of Sena tor Tillman. As long ago as 1897, a short time after he went to Wash ington, Senator Tillman introduced a bill in the Senate, which provided among other things, that all intoxi cating liquors would be absolutely subject to the laws of such State. Here is the bill: ' “That all fermented, distill ed, or other intoxicating liquors or liquids transported into any state or territory and remaining therein for use, consumption, sale, or storage therein shall upon arrival within the luntis of said State or territory be subject to the operation and ef fect of the laws of such state or territory enacted for the con trol and policing of the liquor traffic, absolutely, to the same extent and in the same manner as though such liquors or li quid had tie.

Convinced in the face of the in creased cost of livitig that something must be done to save the hog as a food animal, experts of the depart ment of agriculture announced Tues day that they would begin a cam paign July 1 to eradicate hog chol era On that date the $75,000 ap propriated by the last Congress for the work will become available. The losses in hogs which succumbed to cholera last year were $60,000,000, according to the department’s fig ures. We hope a remedy is found. An Angry Mob Breaks in -the Jail, Takes Out Negro Murderer and Riddles His Rody. At Americus, Ga., Saturday night, a mob of five hundred persons, at tacked the county jail at eight o’clock, broke down the cell door wherein a negro, William Redding, was confined and dragged him. through the principal streets of the city to the Buchanan corner where they lynched him. A thousand shots, it is estimated, were fired. This was the climax of the shooting earlier in. the evening of William C. Barrow, who has been chief of police in that city for the past twenty-five years, and the founding of four negroes. The sheriff and his deputies found resistance useless. With steel crow bars and sledge hammers the angry members of the mob attacked the steel doors wherein the negro was confined. The lock was finally ripped from its fastenings and the door swung open. Then a rope was tied about the negro's neck and he was led through the streets to the Buch- anan corner in Lamar street, near the sc -ene of the shoot ing of Chief Itarro' w.
