That State Senator W. H. Sharpe
ef Lexington County is the State
eh airman of the B lease organisation,
and John n. Aull, private secretary
to the Governor, the secretary of the
organ lx Al on, is the information fur-
aished the Pee Dee Daily of Bennetts-
▼tile by Col. J. P. Gibson of Ben-
aettSTllle, a member of the staff of
•ov. Blease, and seeretary of the
Blease organisation in Marlboro
ooenty.
Mr. Gibson gives the Blease com
mitteemen in the townships of Marl
boro county, and it is said that
similar organisation has been per
footed of the Blease forces in every
eounty in the State. If this is true,
Gov. Blease has an organization ex
tending to each school district in
every one of the forty-four counties,
and is able, as he has frequently
elaimed, to touch any locality at
moment’s notice.
The sard of Col. J. Preston Gibson
to the Pee Dee Dally says In part:
•Hr. Freeman: In your yesterday’s
I Friday’s) Dally you editorially offer
ed to pay a reward of five dollars to
any one for the names of the State
Blease committee and the names of
chairman and secretary in Marlboro
county and the names of the town
ship committees In this county. We
arc not afraid or ashamed for names
to be published, for we feel that we
are as good as any people who walk
the earth. We are Democrats and as
patriotic as anybody. The following
is the information desired:
State chairman, W. H . Sharpe
Mate Senator from Lexington county;
State secretary, J. K. Aull. the gov
ernor's private secretary."
After giving the members of the
Marlboro Blease organisation, Mr
Gibson closes his communication as
fcOowt; ■ i», •,
"In an editorial in his paper ef
yesterday, Mr. R. L. Freeman says:
"The Dally has accomplished an
unusual feat, and scooped the papers
of the entire State In securing a list
e# the officers and committees of the
Blease organisation. When the
Blease conferences were held In Co
lumbia several weeks ago, the news
paper reporters In Columbia could
not secure any Information as to
what was done. Those who attended
were as dumb as oysters when asked
questions by the newspaper men
"It now transpires that officers
were then selected for the State or
ganisation and county chairmen and
secretaries appointed. But It has re
mained for the Dally to unearth this
information.
"As a reporter for the Daily and
Advocate, Col. Gibson would no doubt
have given us this information long
ago, had It not been the purpose to
keep the information from the press
and public. But^our discovery and
publication of Mr. Aull’s letter, to
gether with our gentle goardlng and
the offer of the $5, has had the desir
ed effect. It has gievn us a scoop for
which any live newspaper would have
gladly paid |5. We would be glad
to see the newspapers in other coun
ties secure and publish the officers
and committees of the Blease organi
sations in their respective counties."
When the Blease conference took
place in Columbia on the eve of the
opening of the campaign It was held
in the Supreme Court room from
which the newspaper men were bar
red. It was known at the time that
Senator Sharpe presided over the
meeting, but the only information
available was just what could be pick
ed up here and there and put togeth
er for no statement was given out to
ihe press. In fact, at no time was
there ever any official knowledge that
such conferences were being held.
It has already been printed that an
organization of the Blease forces had
been formed In every county with a
central or State organization In Co
lumbia; that such and such men were
in the organization and that a county
chairman in each county had been
named and meetings of the adminis
tration followers organized In every
county, but remained to absolutely
confirm the names*' of the Blease
State chairman and secretary.
There Is no doubt that the State
administration has organized or at
tempted to organize in each eounty.
It was known that in Georgetown
eounty a caucus of the Blease forces
was held following the speaking of
the candidates for State offices there,
and.it was openly reported that the
caucus had agreed tio support John
G. Richards for governor and the
Blease ticket right down the line.
This was said to have been the same

TOITBD STATES TAKES STEPS TO
RESTORE PEACE.
Plans Made to MoMUxe 1,000
ed Fighting Men In Striking Dis
tance of Troubled Land.
Plans for mobilising 1,000 marines
within striking distance of Haiti and
the Dominican Republic moved for
ward another step Thursday with the
arrival of the naval transport Prairie
at Guantanamo with 400 seasoned
fighting men from the Vera Crus out
posts. The Prairie will bring the
full complement of officers for the
marines already at Guantanamo, and
will remain there to transport the
force to Haiti should an emergency
arise, while the transport Hancock is
away for more troops.
Recurring revolution in Haiti
threatening tremendous property
losses, led to renewal of discussion
Wednesday in administration circles
over the possibility of American in
terventlon. Small hope was held that
the Haitlens would be able to put
their own government in order. The
situation had reached such a stage
that, under European pressure,
movement of the Guantanamo ma
rines Into Haiti was a possibility.
State department officials declined
to say whether foreign representa
tlons had advanced to the point where
American action in Haiti was de
manded to force some control of the
Island government's finances that
would insure liquidation of its obit
gallons. (
If Intervention were ordered in
Haiti, it was suggested that the Unit
ed States would attempt to establish
a financial trusteeship over the re
public by which American officials
not only would collect taxes, but also
would require proper appropriation
of the funds.
Representations that Haiti credit
^as good and that the government
had met international obligations
have been made to President Wilson
by President Menos.

AIKEN KILLING
Lee Y
Charged With the Death of
Willie Brown.
The place of Mr. Albert Taun, In
the Shaw's Fork section of Aiken
connty, waa the scene of e killing on
Saturday night, when Lee Yaun, ton
of the former, shot and killed Willie
Brown, a farm hand. There were
only two eye-witnesses to tbs occur
rence and the teatimony of each was
In contrast at the Inquest, which was
held by Coroner Spradley Sunday
morning. One, Mr. B. C. Moseley
testified that the shooting was Justl
liable homicide and the other claimed
that it waa without provocation.
The dead man and Samp Hlghtow
er, It seems, had been to a frolic in
that neighborhood on Saturday night
and when returning went to the well
at Mr. Yaun’a place to get water
While there they cut a watermelon
Some creim that Mr. Lee Yaun came
out and asked them where they got
the melon and that the funs started
over that, and the shooting was in
self-defence. Others claim that Mr
Yaun stated that he would settle with
Brown and began firing.

As a result of a free for all fl a ht

ter Saturday faternoon Deputy Sher

The deputy, who is is a rather weak
man phslcally, went to arrest Norton
and Eatle Yarborough for alleged
disorderly conduct while drunk.
They made, It la alleged, a violent
resistance, but their assailants were
assisted by a number of their mill
friends. As a result Deputy Howze
waa beaten up from head to foot. He
was given a terrible blow by some
kind of an Instrument on his face
from which much blood flowed. Nor

forces arc 1b a hopeless mijnrrity.

It is also Interesting to recall in
this connection that W. C. Irby Jr.,
In hls speech following the Lexing
ton meeting, I believe it was at Sa
luda, attacked Mr. W. H. Sharpe, the
Lexington Senator, who is the State
chairman of the Blease forces, for
helping to hold up the two-cent rate
in the last general assembly, and
stated that Mr. Sharpe Is supporting
Mr. Richards for governor.
Mr. Irby had made plain his inten
tion of not being left “out in the
cold”; and he as well as Mr, C. C.
Simms and Mr. J. B. A. Mullally are
friends of Gov. Blease, Just As Mr.
John G. Richards. It Is going to be
a pretty fight to see which lands the
support of the Blease organization,
for while the governor has declared
he will not take a hand in the first
race it Is obviously impossible for
him to keep hls followers from cea-
Prerident Directs Attorney General
Me Reynolds to Bring Civil Salt for
Dissolution and Lay Facts Before
Grand Jury for Investigation of
"Criminal Aspects”.
The long continued effort to un
tangle the New Haven railroad with
out litigation came to an end Tues
day night, when President Wilson <u
a letter to Attorney General McRey-
nolds directed the Institution o{ a
Sherman law suit to dissolve the sys
tem and ordered that the "criminal
aspects of the case" be laid before a
federal grand jury.
Tbe presidents approval of the
course mapped out by the department
of justice means that the civil suit
will be filed against tbe New Haven
In the United States court at New
York at once. Tbe attorney general
also Immediately will direct United
States District Attorney Marshall at
New York to summon a grand jury,
and the task of. laying evidence be
fore that body on which to ask for
criminal Indictments against officers
and directors of the New Haven un
der the Mellon management will be
begun as soon as possible.
How many indictments will be
sought was not divulged but it was
plainly indicated in correspondence
made public that tbe attorney general
expects to ask for a bill against Chas.
S. Mellen, former preeident of tbe
New Haven. The most significant
fact in connection with tbe proceed
ings was said to be a statement which
Mr. McReynolds gave out several
months ago when the interstate com
merce commission began its New
Haven inquiry.
In the statement tbe attorney gen
eral warned the commission that im
munity might be given certain men if
made to testify as to their actions as
directors of the road. The names he
mentioned were: Charles 8. Mellen,
William Rockefeller, George McCul
lough Miller, Charles F. Brooker, Ed
win Milner, Lewis Casa Ledysrd, Geo.
F. Baker and Edward R. Robins.
In addition to directing a suit, the
president In bis letter to Mr. McRey
nolds declared that the decision of
the New Haven director* not to keep
their agreement to dissolve peaceful
ly had caused him "the deepest sur
prise and regret’’, and that their fail
ure ‘‘upon so slight s pretext" was
‘‘Inexplicable and entirely without
“justiflcsAJon".
The department's course, he said,
was just, ressonabls and efficient, and
should have resulted In avoiding a
suit. Accompanying the president's
letter, the department made pQbhc
correspondence between the attorney
general and the president and tbe at
torney general and President Hnstis
of the New Haven.
One of the most Interesting phases
of the correspondence was contained
in the jittorney general’s letter to
President Wilsoh, in which there is a
decided rebuke for the interstate com
merce commission for its action in
subpoenaing Mellen "and perhaps
others of the greatly culpable" vfith
the possibility of embarrassing the
department by a claim of Immunity in
return for their testimony. In this
connection the attorney general
makes the statement that criminal
prosecutions have been always in
mind and that there has never been
"the slightest hope that parties guilty
of criminal violations of the law
would escape."
The letter from the attorney gen
eral to President Hustis made It clear
that the department takes the posi
tion that the New Haven directors
did not live up to their agreement of
last March for a peaceful dissolution
in their refusal to sell their Boston
ft Maine stock, under conditions im
posed by Massachusetts, and put the
blame for what may follow on the
heads of these directors. - >
