BRYAN LAUDS WILSON
GREAT COMMONER BREAKS AT
SPARTANBURG.
Taking the People's View, Says Mr.
Bryan, is the Distinguishing Fea
ture of the President’s Stand.
Secretary of State Bryan spoke to
an audience of 1,500 people at Spar
tan burg Tueed&y night In Converse
college auditorium and afterwards he
and Mrs. Bryan held a reception and
shook hands with practically every
person In the audience. He was in
troduced by Former Gov. John Gary
Evans. Mr. Bryan took as his sub
ject “President Woodrow Wilson’s
Point of View”. He paid an elo
quent tribute to the president, show
Ing how upon every Issue he takes the
people's views. His address was said
by many to have been the greatest
they had ever heard him deliver.
He touched upon the four great Is
sues that the present administration
has had to deal with—the tariff—he
said the bill Just passed was a better
bill than he had ever hoped for, par
ticularly commending the Income tax
feature—the currency question, the
attitude of the admlnistraition toward
'he Phillipines, as just announced by
Francis Hurton Harrison, the newly
appointed governor general of the 1s-
.ands, and the administration's peace
program, contemplating Investigation
and report upon all questions of dlf
ference arlalng between the nations
of the world.
Upon each of theae questions Mr
Bryan spoke at length, making par
ticularly clear the provision of the
currency bill now !*>fore congress and
advocating Ita passage Answering

no further on the race than to say,
‘T will succeed myself.” He listened
to questions about politics and show

more. He had nothing to say when
told of the conference of the Blease
leaders, which has been called for
Fair Week to outline the Rlease pro

Reacuer* Worked Faithfully to Get
Entombed Man From Hi* Awful

Th*maa Toshetky, prisoner alnce
Friday of last week in an abandoned
chamber of the Continental mine of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company at
Centralia, Pa., walked into the open
air a free and comparatively well man
at 22 minute* before 8 o’clock Sat
urday morning. He waa taken to his
home In Centralia, three mile* away,
from hi* underground piiaon, and at
once put to bed, apparently none the
worse for his remarkable experience.
It was 7:15 o’clock when the last
barrier of coal was driven away and
Toshesky crawled through the open
ing from his prison chamber into the
tunnel which had been ateadily driv
en toward him by eager, willing res
cuers. Seven minutes later the first
intimation was given to the outside
world that the big task was complet
ed and the prisoner was free. This
was when a miner crawled to the
mouth of the tunnel and called to the
top of the pit for blankets and hot
water to be sent down.
Toshesky climbed the path to the
rim of the pit almost unaided. A
stretcher had been taken to the foot
and (here were plenty of willing
hands to carry him. but he would
have none of it His whole attitude

Struggling Student of Art Answer*
Advertisement, Seeking Position
Which Would Enable Her to Con

a Fiendish Death.
Miss Ida Leegson, art student,
whose nude body waa found Satur
day on the prairie west of Chicago,
was lured to her death by some man
who telephoned to her in response to
her advertisement for a place as a
nurse. This was the conclusion of
the police Tuesday night, after more
than twenty-four hours search. The
thin silken fish line found near the
body and the bruised circle it left
around Miss Leegson’s neck, showed
the manner of her death. Her tat
tered clothes indicated that death
had come only after a hard struggle,
but there was nothing found to show
by whom Miss Leegson had been in
duced to visit the lonely spot in the
western outskirts of the city.
Saturday afternoon a telephone
call came from a “Mr Wilson" who.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL
SOME OF MANY GOOD THINGS
CLAIMED FOR IT.
It Will Reduce the Price* of Many ef
the NeceasiUet of life to the Con
sumer.
President Wilaon’s signing of the
Underwood-Simmons bill brings Into
effect one of the most far-reaching
revisions of tariff rates and revenue
laws enacted for many years.
A new Income tax, appllng direct
ly to the Incomes of citizens; the abo
lition of all tariff on scores of
Items of immense importance to
American industry and American
consumers and a heavy reduction of
tariff rates on most of the articles in
general use in this country are its
chief features.
While certain portions of the new
law do not take effect at once, most
of its provisions and almost all the
direct tariff reductions, do.
At every port collectors of cus
toms, appraisers of merchandise and
hundreds of other emplyoees of the
treasury department will plunge at
once into the task of. collecting the
nation's revenue on a new basis, and
with hundreds of new classifications
and new provisions of law to compli
cate their activities.
The Federal government has t>een
spending nearly a billion dollars a
year and the new tariff law will raise
less than one third of that «um Ke-
cent estimates by tariff experts in
Congress predict that the raN-s will
raise |_49.00" "Mj a year and that
the Income tax wtll raise fl'.’J.ooO,-
""" The remainder of the govern
ment's g^eat income Is made up prln-

five bushels an acre has been the av

hog raising by which, with two acres,
it is believed a boy will be able perm

an acre of ground and make enough
to keep a family of five. The officials
are not yet ready to give out the de

“I have a man in my house at the
point of a pistol.” Mrs J E. John
son telephoned ttie police of Savan
nah Tuesday morning. “Send a po
liceman and a preacher; he's got to
marry my daughter.”
Two motorcycle officers were dis
patched to the address given. There
they found Joel A. Dickinson, Jr., In
the predicament laconically describ
ed over the wire by Mrs. Johnson.
Her daughter, Caroline, aged 15, was
the third principal in the affair.
Simultaneously with the call at
the police headquarters was another
at the court of ordinary. A license
was desired. The stage was set at
Mrs. Johnson’s home for the mar
riage when a complication developed.
The couple were willing to marry,
but It was discoveretLthat the groom-
to-be was a married man already.
Gunman Kills Wrong Man.
Two New York peddlers offered
Frank Van Tonlo, a Brooklyn gun
man, 850 to beat up David Connor,
who took their horse by the bridle
and amused himself by leading the
animal around in circles. Van Tonlo
mistook Robert Brady for Connor
and shot him dead. The peddlers
confessed to the bargain with the
gunman, but protested they had no
grievance against Brady and no de
sire to get Connor anything worse
than a beating.

the robbery that had gone on In the
past. The appearance of the cartoon
