unbelievable catastrophe, stood
learning by the side of Its dead—
the seventy-two victims, most of
them children, of the frightful panic
an Christmas Eve in the Italian Hall.
This panic followed a false alarm
«T of Sre daring the progress of a
Christmas tree entertainment arrang-
ed for families of thee opper strikers.
AU bitterness and ill feeling that
has existed in this strike-ridden com-
manity for months past is wiped
Mray hr the one great, common af-
fltetioa. Christmas day the people
at Calumet only saw tbelr neighbors,
Mir brothers, their sisters and their
Ifttle children staggering under an
ataoat unbearable burden of distress
aftd grM.
A mass meeting of Calnmet citi*
agos was held In the afternoon to ex
■ran sympathy and devise ways and
asaaas to ameliorate the suffering
aad sorrow of those families on

A committee of twelve was appolnt-

Whaft flnanclal assistance was needed

The accident occurred Wednesday
afght while several hundred miners
aad their wivee looked on, the chll
Area pressed eagerly to the stage to
reeetve Christmas presents. At this
■eiat a man put his head in at the
4*#r at the hall and yelled “Fire!”
The ary was taken up by those In
the hail. Every one started for the
4*ors. The weaker were thrown -to
M loaf, and those behind tried to
gUmh over those ahead of them.
.The stairway and other avenues of
%ruas wdre blocked so effectually
%at thoee Inalda could not get out,

af4 the panic-stricken crowd in the
kbl. The principal exit was a nar-
TNr Stairway at the back of the hall.

Par many days the children of the
dipper mine strikers had waited 6x
paetontly for Christmas tree exer-

its members,‘’"hut made unanimous
before adjournment, mult be Indors
ed by statee-entitled to eaet-a ma

lege before it becomes party law.
• In order that such action shall be
taken as promptly as possible the
committee appointed a subcommittee
of three, consisting of Charles B.
Warren, of Michigan; Senator. Borah,
of Idaho, and'Governor Hatfield, of
West Virginia, to prepare an. address
This address will be drawn up short
ly after the Christmas holidays, and
leading members of the committee
expressed the hope that it would be
met by early action. .!>
Approval by the states will insure
a call from the national committee
for the national convention of 1916
along the lines laid down. The re
organization plan adopted came as a
compromise which reflected the views
of many commltteemenltait southern
representation should ^reduced,
but not brought to the vitalshlng
point. . .. * ‘ \ v
According to figures submitted by
the subcommittee, the new plan
would reduce the total number of
delegates from 1,078, as In 1812, to
993. Under It these states would
lose delegates:
Alabama 9, Arkansas 3, Florida 4,
Georgia 10, Illinois 2, Kentucky 1,
Louisiana 7, Mississippi 8, Ngw Yofck
4, North Carolina 3, Pennsylvania 1,
Sputh Carolina 7, Tennessee 3, Texas

southern states would have 164 dele
gates in all.
crush occurred at the foot of the
stairway. He estimated there were
about one hundred piled in a heap
when he reached the entrance of the
building. A boy of about six caught
hold of Ryan’s hand and begged to
be rescued. The fireman pulled the
boy partly out, hut was unable to ex
tricate the little fellow’s legs’. The
human mass kept pressing down and
the boy’s life soon was' snuffed. out.
A girl of eight or nine grasped the
hands of Angelo Curto, a fireman,
kissed them and Implored him to
save her. He made a heroic effort to
pull her ont, but the crush was rs
great he was compelled to give up
the attempt and she perished.
Mrs. A. Nlemela, one of the vic
tims, was suffocated, while standing
up. Leonard Wllman, fireman, took
out a crying boy of alx, uninjured.
Near him his mother and sister lay
dead. His seven-year-old brother
was .taken out later, An eleven-
year-bid boy rescued his brother of
nine by carrying him down & ladder.
There were other similar rescuea.
A child hurled from the building
was caught by a spectator. Chief
Trudell, of the fire department,
caught another child thrown out of a
window by a frantic father. John
Saari killed his boy of five by falling
bn him, and he, too, perished.
Other men began to pul! the
bp^s of the dead and helpless from
the stalyway and place them In a
room beside the building. This dis
position' of the crumpled bodies was
found inadvisable because of the hys
teria it caused among the spectators,
and the dead kerp carried back into
the hall as soon as it was emptied of
frightened spectators. All the chairs
were lined with bodies and corpses
had to be placed In the kitchen of the
hall and beneath the, stage.
Within an hour almost every per
son in Calumet was as neat the scene
as it was possible to get. Police kept
back the crowd. After much effort a
lane was opened and the bodies of
the children were carried, through
ranks of mourning and waiting wo
men to Red Jacket Village Hall,
which was turned Into a morgue. It
was many hours before all the bodies
were Identified.
During the confusion several
ies of children were wrongly
Identified by mothers and taken
away", only tp be returned later by
the parents who had found their own
offspring s^fo Other cases saw
parents run about for some time un

Joe Bates, the convicted murderer
of Docia Bolter, a white man, who
was pardoned Monday by the gov
ernor, arrived in Spartanburg Mon
day night and is at the home of his
father. He was met at the train by
his father and brother, Jack Bates,
who have been untiring in their ef
forts to have a pardon granted, and
a number of friends.
Joe Bates was at ofte time a police
officer in Spartanburg. He was con
victed in 1909 and sentenced to
death, but after many delays his sen
tence was commuted to life impris
onment by the present governor, who
now grants him a full pardon. Mrs.
Docia Bolter, aged 18 years, wife of
J. R. Bolter, a farmer living near
Fairmont was shot at and instantly
killed by Joe Batee^ a'former police
officer, but at the time of the cr.ime a
guard of the city chftlngang, on Sun
day morning, August 29, 19(19. at
11:30 at the home df W. B. Cox, 108
Thompson street.
Mamie Cox , the elght-ye&r-old
daughter of Mrs. Cox, whcF was stand
ing near with hdr little baby sister In
her arms was also shot by -Bates and
seriously wounded. Bates was caught
In the hallway of the house by Mr.
Cox before he could get away and
was held until the police officers ar
rived. Officers Lockman, Cudd, Gash
and Crocker arrived and took charge
of Bates, who was, carried at once to
the county jail and turned- over t<r
Sheriff White.
When the case against Bates was
called In the general session^ court
for October, 1909, he was repVesent-
ecTby learned counsel and It was one
of the hardest fought legal battles
ever waged In the Spartanburg
county pburt room. The.principle
defencexlfcr Bates was a plea of in
sanity. He was convicted and sen
tenced to hang, an appeal to the su
preme court was made without suc
cess and after two years confinement
In the"~cbunty Jail the governor com
muted his sentence from death to life
Imprisonment. The pardpn restores
his citizenship.
The Spartanburg Journal telle the
following story of the tragedy for
which Bates was convicted:
Docia Bolter, until a few weeks
previous to the shooting, was Docia
Moore. Ske lived with Joe Bates at
his home At NO. 160 Thompson street
-as hA lu/usekeeper and alleged para
mour. She had jived with him for
about two years, when a month pre
vious she left him and married J. R.
Bolter. Since the marriage it was
thought that Bates was crazed with
jealousy. It Is said that Just before
she left him, the Moore woman sold
a cow Bates had and a number of
household articles. For this Bates
had a warrant sworn out for her ar
rest, but before the case had been
taken uj> the woman was dead.
Mr. and Mrs. Bolter were coming
to Mr. Cox’s house to spend the day
As they neared the house, Bajes was
in the road, so was Mr. Cox and his
son William. Bates said to Mrs.
Bolter that he would put "them to
the bad”, and followed them to Cox’s
house. When Mrs. Boltpr got out
of the buggy Bates followed her to
ward the house. Suddenly he left
her and passed around to the front
of the building. He, entered the frpnt
door as Mrs. Bolter entered the back
door.
Mrs. Bolter took hold of the hand
of little eight-year-old Mamie Cox
and was in the act of placing a ring
on her finger when Batto fired upon
her from the door of thwjaack porch.
Three shotd entered Mrs. Bolter’s
body on the left side, one ball broke
her arm In three places, the other
ball entered her right temple. She
died almost Instantly and as she fell
she exclaimed: "Oh! my God.” The
ball that broke Mrs. Bolter’s arm Is
supposed to have entered the body of
little Mamlq Cox, dangerously
wpundlcg her.’ *
Fatally Wounded in Explosion.
Mrs. Harriet Adams, temperance
leader and author, la expected to die
in a hospital at Cleveland, Ohio, of
burns received Saturday afternoon in

The problem Is to make the vote
pure as well as free.
No matter who the voter Is he does
not want his vote killed by the- bal

What use Is It for one county to be

A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Prolonged and Uproarious Applause
Greets Voie—Many Republicans
and Progressives Join With Major
ity in Pushing Measure Along Its
Congressional Career.
The House passed the cojhfesanc®
report on the ad/nlnistration cur
rency bill at 10:46 o’clock Monday
night by a vote of 398 to 60, and
sent the report to the Senate, which
iiad waited in session to receive it be
fore adjournment for the night.
Prolonged and uproarious cheers
from the Democrats greeted, the-an
nouncement of the vote by Speaker
Clark, and many members of the
House hastened over to the Senate
to see the report received there.
On the final vote thirty-four Re
publicans, eleven Progressives and
one Independent, Rent, of Califor
nia, voted with the majority for the
report, and two Democrats, Calloway,
of Texas, and Witherspoon, of Mis
sissippi, joined the opposition.
The vote followed a debate of
nearly three hours, during which the
galleries remained crowded with
spectators, including many pi;onil-
nent figures In official life. • The
House 1 adjourned until 2;|0 p. m.
Tuesda^Svhen the leaders hope to
put through a joint resolution for a
recess iintll January 12.
The decision to take a final vote on

election managers are helpless where
voters set out to cheat. . —
Tammany Methods.
"There may have been some minor
irregularities In this county, but we
believe that It was a fair election so
far as county Is concerned;"
reported one county chairman to the
investigating committee a year ago.
He adds, however, "I found that the
club lists had disappeared. Our com
mittee has been unable to locate
them.” '• . * r
Over night some one stole. ...the
record from the ballot boxes. A
familiar device of Tammany thugs In
the good old days practiced right here
In a farming county of South Caro
lina. The chairman was honest and
sincere, though; when he callqd this
a "minor irregularity”, for every one
of us who lias anything tp do with
our election management sees rules
so violated on every hand th^t only
downright bribery is considered se
rious. «
Early or Not at AIL— y
In another important county it is
no uncommon thing for a voter to
find on going to. the polls that some
one has cast a ballot in hj’s name.
Friends who had this experience
laughed to me about it as a part of
the regular order of things, remark
ing, "Next time we must be at the
polls when they are opened." The
State executive committee called on
the party authorities from that coun
ty for a repBrf6n the election and
the reply was "no irregularities
found”. There so mild a term as
"irregularity” is too harsh & name
for the most flagrant frauds and
everything goes.
Why Roles Among Friends?
In still another big county the
Ipcal executive committee found
among other "irregularities” that:
Men were alleged te^vote whose
names were not enrolled on the club
lists. . X
' At one box 128'names of those
who voted were found after a most
searching examination to be ficti
tious. •
The average of the poll lists of all
the county boxes showed from 10 per
cent, to 15 per cent, that could not
be identifiedr,
At other boxes 340 names of actual
persons were found to have apparent
ly voted from two to five times, and
after making -allowances for a pos
sible proportion as proper, a large
number were seen to fie repeaters.
In a very few instances was' the
dub' roll certified to.
- Bystanders were called In by man
agers to assist In counting the ballots,
one of whom did destroy or attempt
to destroy tickets.
Managers of election were not
sworn and other voters took no paths.
Yet this committee in summing up
spoke of these things fts "numerous
irregularities”, hut found no evidence
of fraud. -
for consideration in return for an
agreement to vote Tuesday. By un
animous consent it was agreed that
the Senate should meet at 10 o’clock
take up a vote not later than 2:30
o’clock. With this arrangement made
the Senate just before 10 o’clock took
a recess until 11:15 to await the ar
rival of the report^from the House.
Representative Glass appeared In
the House with the conference report'
Just before 6 o'clock, and the clerk
began reading there was a rush for
the lunch rooms. An hour was re
quired for the formal reading, and U
was understood that thero-would be
about two hours of debate before the
final-vote. p —-—_
In the meantime Senator Owen had
presented the agreement of the con
ferees to the Senate and that body,
after ordering the report printed, re
cessed until 9 o’clock to await action
by the House. The Senate leaders
hoped to hear from the House soon
after convening and were prepared to
hurry action^ on their side so as to
send the completed bill to the presi
dent before mldnighti'
After the announcement of the
vote a joint resolution proposed by
Majority Leader Underwood that the
House recess upon -^adjournment
Tuesday until January 12 was adopt
ed. Senator Owen announced that
separate bill tP provide for guaranty
of bank deposits would be considered
in the near future. 'This had been
intimated in debate by Chairman
Glass, of the Hodse banking com
mittee.
A large force of Moorish tribesmen
Was routed with heavy loss Thursday
by the Spanish troops at Muley Abse
lam, Spanish Morocco. Spanish mili
tary aviators threw the Moors into
disorder with showers of bomb*. The
Spaniards attacked the Moors with
brigade of sharpshooters,, a battalion
of infantry, four batteries of artillery
and a large body of native auxilia
ries. ’ .. >
When the order for the general ad
vance of the Spanish column was
given the advance guard discovered
several thousand Moorish mountain
eers concealed In the Irregularities of
the ground. A flotilla of military
aviators waC sent up to reconnoitre.
By means of flag signals the aviators
guided the column of Spanish troops.,
A heavy artillery fire was opened by
the Spaniards without effect.
The aviators then ascended to an
altitude out of range of rifle fire and-
flew directly over the place where
the Moors were in the greatest num
bers. Then came what the dispatch
to the Spanish war office describes as
a "veritable rain of bombs, tossed by.
hand by the airmen, into "the midst of
the Moo?s”. After this bombardment
the Spanish infantry charged with
the bayonet and dislodged the Moors
from their positions, causing them to
flee In great disorder, leaving large-
numbers of dead and wounded on the
field. The Spanish troops also lost a
considerable number of men, as the
rifle fire of the tribesmen was very
accurate.
A dispatch from Waahtagton says
experts In the si goal corps at the war
department heard with keen Interest
the report of the successful bomb
dropping by the Spanish aviators
the battle with the Moors at Muley
Abselam, Spanish Morocco, Thurs
day. "That is but another instance,”
said Col. Samuel Reber, in charge of
aviation in the army, “of the valpe of
the aeroplane in actual reconnols-
sance, and Its use as a weapon of of
fence during an attack. It confirms
the experience of other nations in us
ing the aeroplane In actual warfare
and If a practical demonstration of
tho 'use of ttHT aeroplane in a cam
paign.” . /
Other officers recalled that the
usefulness of the aeroplane in bomb
dropping first was demonstrated in
the Italian-Turkish war, when Ital
ian aviators claimed on several occa
sions to have dropped explosives on
Turkish-warshih*. It Is presumed
that the Spaniards flew lengthwise
over the enenfy’s lines, and by con
tinuous dropping of bombs while so
flvjng had innumerable chances of
hitting them. It--yas pointed-out
that the chances of dropping an aero
plane bo&b-on a battleship would be
slight compared with the opportunity
an airman would have while flying
lineally over, a column of troops op,
land. —X " • . -——
