RECALL OF THE CLERGY.
Presiding: Officer Stopped Chaplain's
Prayer in Indiana Senate.
' Lieut. Gov. O'Neill, greatly to the
surprise of the Senate, brought down
his gavel and stopped a prayer which
was being made by the Rev. J. R.
Henry, pastor of the Emanuel Baptist
church of Indianapolis, in the Senate
this forenoon, because, he said, Mr.
Uonrv v?orj infinite the Senate. Mr.
Henry had, in his prayer, asked Almighty
God to speed the day when
the State would break its partnership
with the liquor traffic and cease
filling its penitentiaries, jails and
poor house with the victims of rum.
This was not very different from
many other prayers that have been
offered in the legislature by ministers,
but then .Mr. Henry continued:
"And we pray to God that the
partnership between the State and
criminals may be dissolved."
Lieut. Gov. O'Neill rapped with his
gavel and stopped the prayer.
"You are here to make a prayer,
and not to make a political speech,"
he said to Mr. Henry. "The clerk
will proceed with the reading of the
Journal."
While the clerk was preparing to
read the Journal of yesterday's proceedings,
Mr. Henry brought his
prayer to a sudden close and hurriedly
left the Senate chamber.
The incident coused a sensation
about the State house, for it is the
first time that a minister has ever
been called down in the legislature
under such circumstances.
"The prayer was an insult to the
Senate," said Mr. O'Neill, afterward.
"I did not regard it as prpper conduct
on the part of the minister. His
reference to rum and the liquor business
was all right. I agree with
everything he said on the subject,
and I did not object to that part of
the prayer. But when he prayed for
.a dissolution of the partnership between
the State and criminals I regarded
that as going too far, and
casting an insult in the face of the
^'Senators. So I stopped him. He was
^supposed to be offering a prayer to
6od for His blessing on the Senate
o-nH r>r>t tr? ha making a nolitical
speech. God does not need any advice
on politics, and that is what this
minister was offering."
Mr. Henry also made the prayer in
the house at the opening of the session,
before going to the senate. His
prayer in the house was similar to
the one in the senate as far as references
to the rum traffic were concerned,
but he went even further, in the
house than in the senate on that subject.
In the course of his prayer he
said that "the members of the legislature
had accepted bribe money from
the liquor business when the State
took the saloonkeepers' money for
license to run saloons."
f - V
This part of the prayer caused
some of the members of the house to
look around, but no one said anything.
Mr. Henry left the State house immediately
after ,the incident in the
senate and declined to make any com
ment on what had happened.?Indianapolis

SHOOTING AT RIDGEVILLE.
R. C. Schwartz is Shot and Slightly
Wounded by I. H. Murray.
Ridgeville, March 6.?Last night
about 7 o'clock a shooting affair occurred
here in which R. C. Schwartz
was shot by I. H. Murray. Murray,
constable for Dorchester county, suspected
Schwartz of selling liquor and
accompanied by - Constable Grooms,
' of Berkeley, entered the store of
Schwartz to make a search. Part of
the store is used by Schwartz as a
dwelling and the constables went into
the dining room where the Schwartz
family were eating supper and it was
here that the shooting occurred. Only
one shot was fired. This entered the
left cheek, passed through and came
out behind the left ear and then
struck the wall of the room but did
not make a very serious wound. All
three of the men came from Charleston
on the *6:15 train. Murray left

A Cheap Provision.
"A life partnership, my boy," gossiped
the old chap brightly?"so
that's what you contemplate with
Miss Richbird? But are you sufficiently
well off to take such a step?"
"Oh, that's all right!" replied the
youth airily, relates the Boston
Globe. "We shall rub along well
enough. You see, her pa will give
us a house and garden, the uncle is
going to part up with a corpulent
check, and she owns a little money
of her own."
"And,' 'inquired the old gent,
"may I inquire what you contribute
to the partnership?"
The young man blushed, and the
twinkle in tne old man s eye grew
still more noticeable.
"Well?er," admitted the bridegroom,
"?er?principally the
name."
CLAIMED COULD RESTORE LIFE?
Alleged Religious Fanatic Saved
from Greenville Mob.
Greenville, March 6.?L. F. Free,
a white man said to be an itinerant
sign painter and alleged religious
fanatic, was placed in jail to-night
by Sheriff Rector to save him from a
mob that had gathered in a suburban
mill village, many in the gathering
having become incensed over the
failure of Free's alleged claim to restore
life to an infant that died Monday.
From what can be gathered of the
facts surrounding the affair it seems
that Free and another so-called
; "Holiness" fanatic, claiming to have
power to work miracles, and having
heard of the death of the infant of
James Ballew, went to his home and
[ told the sorrowing mother and father
that they could restore life to the
| child. The parents, crazed in grief
and swayed, by pleadings of the two
men, it is said, allowed them to be|
gin their gruesome work, which, it
seems, consisted mainly in twisting
and distorting the little lifeless body
| until the coroner to-night found it

GONE TO GET PRISONER.
Man Caught in St. Paul Indentified
as Barnwell Fugitive.
Barnwell, March 7.?Rural Policeman
E. E. Morris left this week for
! St. Paul, Minn., to bring back to this
I county Elliott Gardner, alias Walter
Peters, who was arrested in that city
last week. When arrested the negro
I denied that his name was Gardner
| or that he is wanted in this county,
j so a photograph was made and sent
to Sheriff J. B. Morris, of Barnwell,
who stated that while the man has
changed somewhat in appearance
n I-; or hie aona r?o from tllf>
| siiiu-tr mcii\ 1113 1110 ^ovujk/w v*u v? ?
gang about four years ago, there is
no doubt whatever that the right man
has been caught.
Gardner is wanted in Barnwell
county for burning the gin house of
J. L. Ellis, near Baldoc. He was
tried and convicted and sentenced to
ten years on the chain gang, but
made good his escape after serving
only one year.
Eleven Years for Five-Cent Theft.
Atlanta, Ga., March 4.?An 11!
year sentence for the theft of a five!
cent bottle of a soda fountain drink
has been affirmed here by the Georgia
supreme court against Ollie Taylor,
13 years old. To-day's decision
ends a three years' struggle by 0. F.
Taylor, father of the boy, to have
the sentence set aside.
The lad pleaded guilty three years
ago to stealing the bottle. He was
only ten years oia tnen ana was sentenced
to the Fulton industrial farm
until he was 21 years old.
The supreme court made no comment
on the sentence, it being held
that such a matter rested with the
trial court. In his connection the decision
reads: "The slight value of the
article stolen is matter to be given
weight by the court imposing the
sentence, but it does not nullify the
sentence once it is passed properly."'
Chief Justice Fish and Justice Atkinson
of the court dissented from
the majority opinion.
All Hope for Aliens Vanishes..
Richmond, Va., March 6.?Floyd
Allen, leader of the outlaw band in
Carroll county, and his son, Claude
Swanson Allen, will be executed in
the State penitentiary on March 28
for their part in the Hillsville court
murder on March 14, 1912, Governor
Mann to-night refused to commute
the sentence to life imprisonment.
The prisoners were to have died
to-morrow, but the governor yesterday
granted a respite of three weeks.
The respite was accepted by the Aliens
as an indication that the governor
would extend mercy. The rejection
of the petition, however,
means that the case is officially closed,
as there is no way by which it
can be again opened.
Miss Nellie Wisler, a mountain
girl to whom Claude Allen was engaged,
made an unsuccessful effort
to see Governor Mann to-day with a
final plea for commutation.
Early to-night the prisoners had
not been advised of the executive's
decision and under instruction or tne
prison superintendent no one was
permitted to see them until to-morrow.
A member of the Canadian bar
told this story at a lawyer's dinner:
A farmer's son conceived a desire
to shine as a legal light. Accordingly
he went to the nearest city
where he accepted employment at a
small sum from a fairly well-known
lawyer. At the end of three days'
study he returned to the farm.
"Well, Bill, how'd ye like the
law?" asked the farmer.
"It ain't what it's cracked up to
be," responded Bill, gloomily. "I'm
sorry I learned it."?fresoyierian

TO TEST WEBB LIQUOR LAW?
Express Company Refuses to Deliver
Whiskey Shipments in Greenvile.
Greenville, March 7,?Acting on or- ~
ders from headquarters the local
agent of the Southern Express Com- y
pany to-day refused to deliver whis- |
key shipments to any person whomso- gj
ever, whether for personal use or not, g
declaring the Webb bill is of this I
effect. Following this action several |
citizens prevailed upon Col. C. S.
Webb, of Greenville, brother of Congressman
Webb, author of the bill, c
to wure the representative at Wash- t
ington for his opinion as to the in- ?
tent of the bill, receiving late to-day J
the following reply:
"Washington, D. C., March 7, 1913.
C. S. Webb, Greenville: Law does F<
not prohibit private use shipments Si
and will not unless State forbids it,
and State cannot where it allows sale ?
to individuals by any one in the
State. "E. Y. WEBB."
Senator E. D. Smith also answered
a request for information, giving an ^
opinion similar to Congressman
Webb.
Agent Hall, of the express company,
stated that several persons ?
showed him letters from whiskey ~
houses acknowledging receipt of orders,
but stating that the purchasers
would be unable to get the whiskey
houses take the same view of the
bill as the Southern Express Company.
The general opinion here is that
the express company is taking this
method to test the validity of the
law.

Roper, a South Carolinian, who form- _
erly lived at Marion, recommended !
by Postmaster General Burleson to be g
First Assistant Postmaster General, ||
has been nominated for the position Ig
by President Wilson, and it is under- E
stood that he will be confirmed next E
Monday, so that the business of re- ?2
organizing the postoffice department k
and handling the applications for
postmasterships throughout the country
may begin without delay.
Mr. Roper has for two years been
clerk of the ways and mean committee
of the house of representatives,
and in that important position he has
made a reputation for efficiency.
Chairman Underwood's influence
is believed to have had much to do
with Mr. Roper's section for a higher
place.
The prospective new First Assistant
Postmaster General is about 40
years of age and is very popular at
the capital. He was with the census
bureau before coming to the ways
and means committee.
