SEIZE GANG Physician in Whose Office Woman Was Mysteriously Assassinated '" J Seems t be Marker for Death. The matter of financing systems of compulsory education was given at tention by some of the candidate tot governor in their speeches Thursday before the Chesterfield audience Lowndes J. Browning wanted to know how any system was to be fi nanced, while Richard I Manning inquired of John G. Cllnkscales how he proposed to get the money to meet the expenses of schools and put up enough additional buildings to make Statewide compulsory education ef fective. Mr. Cllnkscales inferred in his reply that if the State could af ford to spend thousands of dollars for higher education Jt could, find some way of supporting sufficient ac commodations for the children unable to get in at present. Mr. Manning declares compulsory education im practicable. Chas. A. Smith developed bis ar guments in favor of submitting the question of State-wide probition to the people. “One of the candidates has shied badly on this question,’’ said Lieut. Gov. Smith, referring to Mr. Clink- scales. "Does Mr. Clinkscales stand for compulsory education among the ne groes?” asked Lieut. Gov Smith fur ther on In his speech.' “Mr Cllnkscales' plan of State wide compulsory education is an im practicable theory Incapable of being put into execution,” declared Rich ard I. Manning, who was warmly greeted by the audience. “I ask Mr. Clinkscales to answer In his speech today where the money is coming from to run the schools and pay the teachers if SUte-wide compulsory education is put into ef fect." In Chesterfield county, Mr. Mann ing said that a third of the boys were not In the schools and quoted the county superintendent of education as the authority for the statement that it would take a .levy of 15 mills to pay the salaries of the teachers and the running expenses of the schools, exclusive of erecting new buildings, should all the children be forced Into the schools now. "If you adopt Mr. Clinkscales' plan you will give a backset to edu cation because you will not have the money to make State-wide compul eory effective,” urged Mr. Manning after he presehted his plan for local option school attendance. "I asked Mr. Clinkscales, Mr. Man ning and Mr. Smith where they were going to get the money to run the schools if any one of the systems of compulsion they advocate are put info effect, and they have not an swered yet,” said Lowndes J. Brown ing. He held that the constitutional State tax of 3 mills for school pur poses should be abolished in order to effect other tax reforms. "It you are going to leave the 1- mlll tax in the constitution, then make it a State tax and divide it among the counties equally,” urged Mr. Browning. He said that the same principle should be applied to the education of children thal now applied to the pensioning of veter ans. “There are 39,799 white children out of school while the schools are running," asserted John G. Clink scales. ' *... “South Carolina - gives Clemson $300,000 a year to educate a few hundred boys, thousands of dollars to Winthrop and this year $30,000 to eradicate the cattle tick, placing the tick above the children,” said Mr. Clinkscales in taking up his oppo nents’ querry about how compulsory school attendance was to be financed. “Is this fair to the thousands of chil dren who are out of school?” “I contend further that many thou sands of children out of schools can be put into them now without in creasing the tax levy one cent,” in sisted Mr. Clinkscales. “You d\n’t have to force the ne groes into the schools," declared Mr Clinkscales after he ridiculed . Mr. Richards’ declaration that he would ,nev(/ agree to spending an addition al dollar for negro education until all white children were given equal ed- ucatidnal advantages. , and tnvit with tm. Dr. Edwin Carman, in yhose office Mrs. Louise Bailey was murdered last 'Tuesday evening, was shot at three times Sunday night as he drove in his automobile through the town of Baldwin, near Freeport, N. Y. None of\tre bullets struck him. The doctor was on hisi way home from Rockville Center, where he had been to attend a patient. Dr. Carman told the police the story of the attack on him. He had been out making professional calls and passed through- Rockville Cen ter on his way home.\There he met Garland Qaden. an an him to ride home “Gaden accepted my invitation,” said Dr. aCrman, and got into the car. We stopped .in a store and as we again got Into the car, I noticed a man on a bicycle near the We drove off without paying particu' lar attention to the man. “When about a mile and a half out of town I heard a report and thQJlght one of the tires had exploded. As soon as I put my foot on the probnd heard another shot and yhen I looked around I saw the man I had seen when we came out of the store, standing beside his bicycle with a re volver in his hand. Gaden shouted: ‘My God, Carman, he’s trying to kill you.’ “We both Jumped into the car, ttiere was another report and a bul let went singing by my head. Gaden and I leaned far over in our seats to be out of range of ullets and I open ed the throttle as far as it would RO.” Dr. Carman on his arrival in Free port hurried to police headquarters and told his story. Sheriff Perrlt quickly hurried to the scene of the shooting in an aitto, closely followed by a posse. At midnight an auto mobile full of detectives and police men went to the scene and other de tectives were rushed off to the near by towns of Baldwin, Rockville Cen ter and Lynnbrook to hunt for the man on a bicycle described by Dr. Carman. The authorities placed special sig nificance on the fact that the would- be assassin was said to have been on a bicycle. During the night follow ing the murder of Mrs. Bailey, when bloodhounds were used, they circled the Carman house once and then started off down the road on which Dr. Carman was returning home. The detective who had charge of the hounds at that time said they had much dilhculty in following the scent and expressed the belief that the per son they were fallowing was riding a bicycle. A police official suggested the pos sibility that Dr. Carman might have been mistaken in believing he was the object of a murderous attack Dr. Carman, however, was positive In his statements, and Gaden, his com panion, confirmed the story.

Stranded Steamer California Sends Out Calls for Help. In a fog and rain that rendered Tory Island invisible from the main land, the Anchor Line steamer Call fornla, New York for Glasgow, ran ashore Sunday night on the rocks off that Island. Wireless calls for help brought speedy assistance from sev eral small gunboats and torpedo boats patrolling the northwest Irish coast for gun runners in connection with the Ulster movement. The latest news received is that the California is stuck fast, bdt in no immediate danger. She struck with so. much force that the lower part of her bows was badly crushed, and she is taking water through two holes in her forehold and second hold. The steamer, which has on board 121 saloon and more than 300 second cabin passengers, lies in five fathoms of water forward and seven fathoms aft. The passengers and crew still are on board. There was no panic when she struck. Another liner, steamers and gunboats are standing by, and others will arrive during the night. NEGRO SAVES CHILD.

The announcement was made at luncheon 1/) newspaper men. The en- ire delegations of all interested coun- es were present. “It is a souVce of satisfaction for me,” said the ambas sador, “to he able to say that one of the essential points of our program, that dealing with the international side of tnh conflict, is virtually set tled.

J. Brooks, on charge of mur- lerlng 'William P. Hindsman, Roy Palmer and Frank Alleh. The men were arrested primarily for the slay ing af Allen, but the police have evi dence which connects them with the .other two killings.

A rather peculiar accident happen ed Saturday afternoon in a storm on the Robert Wylie place a few miles from Chester. The child of John A. Campbell was out in the gjrove in front of the residence when a small cyclone suddenly made its appear ance.

We have established also, through agreement between the parties most directly interested and in complete harmony with th sentiments of the government of the United States, that it is a principle of American pol icy to have our national differences givfen a fair Investigation and always settled without foreign Interference We understand that if such a result has been attained we shall, have creat ed a more favorable atmosphere in in ternational politics in America." Mr. Dr Gama called attention to the fact that President Wilson per sonally had informed the mediators before they left Washington that the only way to solve Mexico’s problem was to "aid the contending parties in Mexico to reach an agreement among themselves, thus obtaining a Mexi can solution of the Mexican ques tion.” In this manner the ambassa- dordor revealed that' the course medi aition, has taken was in President Wilson's mind frorfi the beginning. The speech served also as a defiei tion for the world generally of the hitherto unsettled status of media tion. The Washington government would have preferred that the media tion board remain while the Constitu tlonalists were urged to act quickly on the invitation already extended to them. The mediators formally acknowl edged the latest note from Gen. Car ranza. The answer expresses appre- ceation for Carranza's friendly sent! ments toward peace and is courteous ly phrased.. The American delegates received word from Washington to leave when they thought advisable but they will be the last to go.- The Huerta delegates received formal in structions from their government giv ing them plenary powers to discuss Internal questions with Consitutional- ists. The Huerta ’delegates are anxious to know when and where the confer ence will take place. Should no de finite word be received by Friday or Saturday, some of the Huerta dele gates will go to New York to stay. Minister Naon of Argentine, after conferring in Washington-with Luis Cabrero, expects to telegraph ^the Huerta delegates some definite idea o-f the time the informal conferences will be convened. Milio Rebasa, head of the Huerta delegation, said he was.pleased with the accomplishments of mediation thus far. The recess of mediation stiR holds in effect the armistice be tween* the United States and the Huerta government at Vera Cruz. No protocol has been signed indicating when the American forces will be withdrawn. This has been left for consideration after the two Mexican factions agree on the new provisional government. It is expected this protocol, along with others already signed, will be embodied later in a complete agree ment to be signed by the Constitu tionalists, the Huerta delegates and American representatives. This would clear up all points of interna tional difference and fix a date for the recognition of the new government. As future meetings of the mediation board and delegates probably will be held in New lork or Washington’s Wednesday's luncheon was in the na ture of a farewell. robbery as the motive is indicated by the fact that the. pockets of all three men were turned inside out when found. The first murder committed in the outskirts of Columbus was that of W. P. Hindsman, who was shot in the back on the evening of May 23. His body was found betw’een Sixth and Tenth avenues, robbed. Ray Palmer, son of Detective James Palmer, was shot in the head and killed . early Sunday morning, June 7, while on the way home from seeing a brother. He was robbed of $2. His body was found near a cem etery. Frank Allen, the last victim, was killed on the afternoon of June 8, and his body was found ia a piney woods in the outskirts of Columbus. In addition to these murders, the gang is suspected of attempting to hold-up several negroes, of attempt ing to kill a neighbor of the Palmer family, who caught them lying In wait for the man they slew, and with attempting to shopt witnesses who happened to be nearby when Allen was slain. The arrest of the four accused men caused no end of excitement in Co lumbus, where a few years ago the sheriff of the county and other jail officials. were slain while defending prisoners suspected of heinous crimes. Sheriff Jesse Beard took no chances when he learned of the ar rests and converted the Jgll into a veritable arsenal. Send Dollar B1U for 100 White Ber muda: onion plants, by mail, post paid. C.

Folk, the Bamberg county chairman, Introduced Gov. Blease Saturday, he said he had been requested to read the following tele gram which was addressed to the chief executive by Mr. Folk during the last legislature and asked the governor to reply to it: “Cole L. Blease, Governor, “Columbia, S. C. “In the primary you and I swore to support the homlnees of the party. I supported you as the nominee for gov ernor. Are you supporting me as the nominee for master? If not why not? “H. C. Folk.” The coutny cahirman then read the following telegram of Mr. Folk's pro pounding with the reguest that the governor reply: “Is a man who violates his cath at the ballot box a fit person to send to the Vnited States Senate.?” Both telegrams and puestion were written on a mall piece of yellow paper, which Mr. Folk hapded to Gov. Blease when the county Chairman had finished reading them.With a half smile on his face the chief executive deliberately tore the piece of paper in small bits, spit on them twice, dashed them to the floor and wiped his fdot on them. This ended the in cident. H. C. Folk was elected' master of Bamberg county, but the governor for reason* of his own, sent the name of J. S. J. Faust, of Denmark, to the State Senate for the position. The Senate refused to confirm the recom- n.endation, and Mr. Folk is now "held over” master for Bamberg county. For Sale—One Flanders 20, two new cases, top, extra seat. Car in ex cellent condition.
