F. Cochran, of South Carolina, ha* reached the Attorney General of the Ualted States. There are no new derelopments so far as can be ascer tained in the deadlock between Sena tors Tillman and Smith as to the ap pointment of a successor to Mr. Coch ran. Senator Tillman recently proposed to leave to the whole South Carolina delegation the function of deciding between Thurmond and Weston, but this suggestion was not accepted, the reply being that the delegation had turned this office over to the two Sen ators and that they should work the matter out for themselves. Both of the senators seem deter mined to stand by their man and both have pleaded earnestly with the President. Senator Smith seeing him Wednesday Immediately after his ar rival at the White House from New Hampshire. There Is an Impression that Thur mond was about to get the nomina tion. when the Junior Senator declar ed himself and brought matters to a standstill, temporarily at least. The Booth Carolina delegation la working In behAH of W D Halliard, of Charleston, who Is a candidate to succeed Commissioner Putnam aa the heed of the lighthouse bureau of the department Mr Halliard la himself In Washington Adams Keeigwa ee Marshal.

Pat* Arm fa All antic CVty Door a»d Get* Oaafc From a Counter and Then Eecape*. A thief who had the daring to work wjille a crowd of traveller* wa* about him got $1,800 from the ticket office of tke Philadelphia and Read ing railroad Wednesday morning. He left no clue. The puzzled rail road official* refused to discuss the case, but a minor employee told this story: The money had been counted out from the receipts of Sunday and by the ticket agent. Chapman, to be de posited In a local bank. A rush of passenger* to buy tickets for the 10 o'clock express for Philadelphia made It necessary for the agent to leave the buodle of notes a few minutes and help his two assistants in stamping and selilng tickets. The bills were stacked up on the counter on the Ar kansas avenue side of the station. Intervening was a ticket-rack, which blocked off any view of the counter when the ticket seller and his assistants were at the front win dows. The thief must have calculat ed his opportunity closely, for If one of the agents had been at the window facing Arkansas avenue Uie Intruder would have been seen. The door of the office had been left open a few minutes before, and the robber evidently slipped from the crowd of several hundred Jammed around the offlro, opened the door a trifle seized the money with a swift motion unobserved, stuffed the notes nslde his coat and then lost himself n the throng At any rate the bundle of money was missing when Chapman returned to the counter soon after the train had pulled out The algnal tower men on the Meadows, a mile out from the station, were asked to halt snd search the train for suspicion* persons That was done without re suit WILL KKHK,* BOON Oppose *ew Rail- rosd Rale. Heeded by practlclly all the sen ators from the cotton growing Statee a delegation of congressmen Tuesday called upon the interstate commerce commission In a body and demanded that relief be afforded cotton grower from regulations recently promul gated and put Into effech by railroads in the South. These regulations re quire that hereafter no bale of cot ton shall be recieved for shipment without meeting the requirements of what the railroads term a "stan dard” bale. They require that before a bill of lading shall be given for shipments of cotton each bale shall measure 37 Inches wide, 54 Inches long, shall have six yards of bagging on It, this bagging to weigh not less than two pounds to the yard and the whole to be securely fastened with not less than 60s. The ends must also be "headed" up. The cotton congsessmen, when they learned of what the railroads were doing, held a meeting in the rooms of the senate committee on postoffices and postroads and Senators Smith of South Carolina, Overmen and Simmons of North Carolina, Vardaman and Williams of Mississippi and practically the en tire membership from all state where cotton Is grown agreed to take th# matter up with the Interstate Com merce commission. An extra charge of $1 for each bale, which does not meet the requirements of the rail roads, Is proposed to !>e levied by them. This the congressmen believe Is exorbitant and out of all roeson and Inasmuch as practically all ship ments of cotton are of an interestate character, the commission will he asked to at once take cognizance of the situation and make th* transpor-J tatlon companies afford wha'ever re lief may be necessary or proper In the pr*“nils«-* DEMOCRATIC LRADRRB WAJfT TO PASS IT THIS WKKK. Income Tax Dill is to be Amended to Suit Insurgents Who Wanted Made Higher. It RKBVRBVILLJE MAN FOR ROBBING CAR. Democratic leaders of the Senate began a supreme effort Friday to complete the tariff bill and pass It be fore adjournment Saturday night. A compromise on the income tax rate, representing a further conces sion to the "Insurgent” advocates of an increase in large Incomes, has been drafted by Senators Williams and Simmons, and, It Is believed, will be adopted. It proposes to Increase the “additional tax" rate on incomes of $75,000 to $100,000 from 2 to 3 per cent, and on those ranging from $1 00,000 to $500,000 from 3 to 4 per cent. Senator Kern, Democratic leader, notified all absent Democrats to be In their seats for the rest of the week. After conferences with Re publican senators Interested in pend ing amendments, Chairman Simmons of the finance committee expressed the belief that the passage of the bill might be reached late Saturday night. Senate leaders have derided to name seven senators on the Joint con ference committee that will settle difficulties between the two houses after the Senate passes the bill. This large representation will be askt^l for to provide places for Senators Sim mons. Williams, Stone and Johnson >f Maine. Democrats, who have been In charge of the bill, and for three ItHpui)! ica nt It Is expected the Hou*e w:ll consent.

William B. Street, thirty years of age, who, up to a short time ago, was a fireman on the Charleston, Co lumbia and Augusta Division of the Southern Railway, "was arrested at his home at Reevesvllle on Friday by officers from Charleston on the charge of robbing the Southern Ex press car on train No. 14 on tbe Southern Railway between Charles ton and Summerville on Thursday, night, August 28. Street confessed, implicating Bruce Coleman, inplic&t- ing Bruce Coleman, the Express mes senger who was In charge of the car when it was robbed, and who was found nailed up in a box in the car when It reahced Charleston, who has also been arrested. Street, who seems to be a booze artist and sport of the first magni tude, in his confession tells a most remarkable story. He claims that the robbery waa a frame-up between himself and Coleman, but he admits he took all the money and blew it in. The amount stolen was only $450, of hich, according to Street’^ confes sion, Coleman did not get a cent. Street tries to make it appear that he was seduced by Coleman to com mit the robbery, while he was well tanked up on booze. He tells a very unlikely story according to our ui^a Here Is Street's confession, which ne made after he was arrested I rode with this boy. Coleman, back and forth on the trains several times He said to me one day, going to Hranchvtlle, when 1 waa on the car with him, that he had a payroll amoanttng to very near $4,000, and h* stated to me If we had this we would be fixed The remark I made was. No hell, when you get anything get a hundred thouaand' and he un loaded the money at the proper desti nation Once or twlc aince I have t,e»-n on the rare with him and I asked him how evr-Tthln* was He said nothing doin* He mentioned to i me about a government payroll com I *Y§ FIVE HUNDI fM PTOBHKD.
