The order was re ceived with a ringing cheer, but the attempt at rescue failed, and as fur ther efforts to get alongside the Vol turno nu ant certain death to the boat crew First OHirer Gardiner regretful ly gave the ord- r to turn hick.

In brief, the plain tiff Is suing the order for $20,000 damages resulting front-tbe death of his son, who*w£^a mortally wounded with a pistol by a candidate who was being Initiated into the order near Ifonea Path, in Anderson county last year. The case will be tried in the United States district court at Green ville at the term which convenes next Tuesday. The complaint and the other papers in the case have been filed in the office of the clerk of the district court. The plaintiff alleges that on July 20, 1912, Saluda camp, No. 262, Woodmen of the World, being located near llonea Path, In Anderson coun tv, proceeded with the Initiation of one C. F.

The United States government Tuesday informed Provisional Presi dent Huerta that it looked with ob- horronce and amazement upon his as sumption of both executive and legis lative powers In Mexico, and that In view of his course could not regard as constitution the elections planned for October 2 6. Two notes were dispatch- c d, one strongly phrased and written by Secretary Bryan, inquiring about Hie safety of imprisoned members of Hie Mexican Congress, and the other irawn in forceful language by Presi dent Wilson himself and said to con stitute practically the last efforts of the Washington government to deal with the Huerta authorities by dip- •omatic means, unless there Is a de cided change of spirit on the part of the officials in Mexico City. The negotiations through John Mud had progresse 1 to tin* point where the State department accepted the endorsement of Federico Gamboa for the presidency, as meaning the elimination of Huerta, and where it was confidently hotted that a fair and free election would he held October 21',. Now , however, president Wllt-on has made it clear that the Washing ton government had with the events of the last f w da vs t he Imprison ment of the I>e; titles an I the estab- BiaiN AS RIIE PRAYED.

Her eyea closed and head bowed in prayer, a motto card: “The Lord la My Shephard, I Shall Not Want,” held In her hand, Mra. Rebecca Gay, •fty-flve years old, one of the moat noted Chriatian Science practitioners in the West, was clubbed to death in her office in Los Angelea, supposedly by tbe man for whom she was Inter ceding. Her slayer la still unknown, but Mrs. Gray la believed to have been the victim of revenge on the part of a gang of “while slave” art ists which she was instrumfental in breaking up. Several months ago a band of men were busily engaged In the leading cities of California in procuring girls for the “red light” district of San Francisco. The members of the gang ere working under the guise of hristlan Scientists and were enjoy ing quite a bit of success until Mrs. Gay got on their trail. She broke up its activities In a short time, but since that time had been the victim of many threats from the baffled procurers. One of this band is now supposed by the police to have carried out these threats. The Instrument by which Mrs. Gay was murdered was a short section of a lead pipe, wrapped in brown paper. The police believe that he had enter ed Hie woman's office in the guise of a patient and was receiving a treat ment when he struck the first blow as his victim sat in front of him, her hi ad lent in prayer.

Three men are dead, nine in the hospital, a concrete and stone build ing entirely demolished and there may be other victims in the wreck age, as the result of a gasoline explo sion at Anderson about 1 o’clock Thursday morning, caused by an au tomobile driver lighting a cigarette while the tank of his car was being filled with gasoline. The dead and injured men, so far identified, were victims of a falling wall of the garage building, when tbe large supply tank exploded. The dead are: William E. Campbell, fireman, crushed to death. Robert Dodd, fireman, crushed to death. An unidentified man whose re mains are still under the wreckage, believed to be a citizen who was try ing to aid the firemen. Members of the department and citizens are still trying to remove the wreckage to re cover the body, The injured, all of whom are in the hospital, are: H. (’.

Humphrey Jones, a passenger on the Carmanla, describing this scene at tha wreck, said the International fleet worked splendidly and with the regu larity of a naval review. The Grosser Kurfuerst, the Kroonland and the Caard did wonderfully. “The spec ttwle of the burning ship In the mid dle of a ring of veasels Impotent to help,” he said, “was too terrible to describe. But for the subsidence of flhe storm all on board the Volturno must assuredly have been lost.” Capt.

Administration officials hold that with most of the members of the Mexican Congress in jail, a prominent mem’ier of Congress, who dared to speak adversely to the administra tion. still mysteriously concealed, and the Congress dissolved, It is impos sible for the civilized world to believe that the Huerta group was capable of establishing or maintaining consti tutional authority In the Southern Republic. They also feel that the Huerta officials no longer are deserv ing of such diplomatic relations as hitherto have existed. As yet there Is no concrete evi dence that the Washington adminis tration intends to use drastic meas ures.

Coming shortly after the destruc tion of the "L-II” in a hurricane in the North Sea on September 9, when fifteen men were killed, this disaster gave rise to a feeling of consterna- ' tlon in Berlin, whose public had within a week been saddened by the loss of many German passengers on board the burned Volturno and by accounts of the terrible mining catas trophe in Wales. Other possible causes of the fire and explosion were that old gasoline was carried on board or that a spark of atmospheric electricity was devel oped by the friction of the balloonets rubbing together Inside the outer frame work, as occurred In the case of the predecessors of the L-II. These theories are regarded as Improbable owing to the Improvements made in the design of the airship to meet such contingencies.
