Nashville. Tenn., June 20.?At a *
called meeting of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, attended by nine *
members of the college of bishops, a 1
veto message was drawn up. setting c
i
/% forth the following objections to the
action of the board of trustees in ac- r
cepting the recent gift from Andrew
Carnegie to the Vanderbilt Medical s
college:
"That the action of the board of r
trustees of Vanderbilt, in accepting
the gift, is a breach of trufet vested in s
I
it under and by virtue of the resolu^
a
s * . tions of the Memphis convention,
which constitute the foundation of 2
t
Vanderbilt university; that said aco
tion is beyond the powers of the board
and that it ronstitutes a diversion of
J a large portion of the funds and prop- |
erty of the university from the trusts
upon which said property is held, is
contrary to the terms of other gifts
i|? to the university, and is illegal, null ?
| f and void."
A copy of thris action will be duly *
certified and forwarded to the secretary
of the board of trust of the uni- 1
wersity.
Those attending the meeting were:
Bishops Collins Denny, E. R. Hen- t
drix, W. R. Lambuth, E. D. Mouzon, 1
>- J. C. Kilgo, J. H. McCoy, E. E.
Hoss, H. C. Morrison and W. A. Can- cr
f
dler.
The resolutions vetoing the accept- t
ance of the $1,000,000 gift by Came- t
gie were adopted unanimously by the
bishops. 1
In addition to a veto message the v
> bishops addressed a message to the 1
church stating their reason for opposing
the gift. They say in part:
"If this gift had been offered with- v
out embarrassing conditions, as all
otlfer endowments have been, we
would have offered no objections to
its acceptance, but the conditions at*
tached to thi6 gift and the lettei accompanying
it, which must be taken ^
as expository of the conditions, are ^
I , such as lead us to believe it can hot j
be accepted without a breach of trust t
and without dishonor to the church,
if conditions are fulfilled in good t
faith to the donor. ^
"We are as unwilling that Mr. Carnegie
should be deceived as that the
vx university should be dismembered f
and the church of God dishonored." ^
5 SUNDAY LABORERS NOT GUILTY. r
fi
Jury in Parr Shoals Case Renders a
Verdict for Defendants. i
Lexington, June 18.?A jury com- F
posed of Fairfield County citizens, }'
yesterday rendered a verdict of not ^
guilty as to the fifty laborers that
4 were^ arrested at Parr Shoals by j t
Min?r nf T.pxinsrton. and i t
3^7 . ouivnuo ^ - w ,
Hood, of Fairfield, oil Sunday. May r
5, for violating the Sunday law, in ?
Magistrate Douglass's Court at Jen- 3
kinsville. It is understood that no t
effort of denial was made on the part t
of the laborers and the superintend- 3
- ents of the construction of the power "?
development as to working on Sun- f
day, but the defence was that .it was c
v a case of necessity; that the work r
that was being done was essential to 3
carrying on the building of the great c
power dam. *
It will be recalled that the men r
-tfere arrested upon orders from the *
Governor's office, and a cash bond of i
$1,250 was furnished by the company c
The hearing was postponed until yes- terdav.
t The State of South Carolina was 2
represented yesterday by George Bell c
Timmerman the solicitor of this cir- c
c-uit, who made a strong argument j
t
Iior conviction.
When the Shriners in Dallas were
discussing the place for the meeting
next year, the story is that the statement
was made by a champion of
Memphis, that in that city one could
get all the whiskey he needs or
wants, while Atlanta, the rival city
for the seat of the convention is a
"dry" city. When the vote was taken
Memphis had eighty-five votes and
Atlanta had 268. The Shriners have
done well in refusing to boost a city
that boasts of its violation of law*.? i

FOILED AT BRAXCHVILLE.
rharleston Man Suspected of Being
White Slaver.
Branchville, June 18.?A young
nan about 25 years of age, giving his
tame as Ed J. O'Neill, of Charleston,
vas arrested here to-night about 9
)'clock on the charge of abduction.
)'Xeill came here to-day and registerid
at the Bass Hotel under the name
>f Berry and said that he had come to
narry a young woman of this town.
?he girl's father objected, and it is
aid the young couple attempted to
1? ~ a*
dope on tne evening nam tu ui.
Jeorge, where O'Xeill proposed to
ecure a license and be married. The
oung woman's father foiled that
)lan, so the couple secured an autonobile,
it is claimed, and started to
)rangeburg.
The young woman's father had
)'Xeill arrested on a charge of abluction,
but later withdrew the
harge reluctantly, whereupon O'Xeill
vas held for vagrancy. He gave a
hirty-dollar bond, but did not give
l satifactory account of himself.
;pon advice of an attorney, which
ed to a search of his baggage by
dayor Dukes, a number of suspicious
elegrams. hotel addresses, screw
Irivers, keys, etc, were found, which
ed the authorities to suspect that he
uight be a white slaver.
O'Xeill is being held until he can
atisfy the authorities of his identity.
The hearing is set for 10 o'clock toil
orrow.
The young lady in the case was a
tudent at the Orangeburg Collegiate
nstitute and seems to have become
icquainted with O'Xeill very recently,
iroused suspicions as to his intenions.
He appeared here several days
:go and inquired for some persons
O'Xeill gave names of several well
mown Charleston men as references,
>ut up to a late hour nothing satis
actory had been received, his pecuiar
actions and conflicting statements
>f whose names he seemed uncertain,
le claims to have known the young
roman for some time, claiming to
tave met her while she was a student
n Orangeburg. Sunday, it is said,
hey decided to marry in a few days,
'he parents of the girl learned of
heir plans to-day and objected strentously.
The young people made no secret
>f their intended elopement, which
rankness would seem to disprove
he suspicions of the local authorities
hat O'Neill is a white slaver. The
act, however, that he had secured no
aarriage license and that he made
arving statements as to his line of
>usiness and connections confirms
he opinion that at least his intenions
were not of a nature to let go
without investigation. Identifying
witnesses have been summoned from
Charleston.
O'Neal Married at Orongeburg.
Orangeburg, June 20.?After many
lifficulties, Cupid won out for Ed. J.
)'Neal, when he marriea Miss Aima
Jarr in this city at about 1:30 o'clock
his morning. This marriage was a
lovel one. To be arrested three
imes, secure marriage license just
>efore midnight, asking performance
>f marriage ceremony of judge of
>robate and ministers, only to be reused,
to have refusing minister inorm
other ministers of the "city to
efuse to perform the ceremony, and
inally to arouse a sleeping magistrate
fter 1 o'clock and prevail upon him
mtil he tied the knot was the exierien?e
of Ed. J. O'Neal and his
outhful and handsome sweetheart,
Iiss Alma S. Barr of Branchville.
O'Neal came to Branchville about
wo days ago and registered at a hoel,
using an assumed name. He
nade effort to marr$- Miss tfarr, out
va.s arrested by the town authorities
.nd charged with abduction. He gave
loud. Upon his appearance at court
his charge was dropped. He was rearrested
and charged and tried for
agrancy, being acquitted of this ofense.
O'Neal at last secured the
onsent of Miss Barr's parents to the
narriage and came to Orangeburg in
in automobile. Word had been reeived
in Orangeburg to arrest O'Neal
f he came to town. Upon his arival
here last night O'Neal was
aken from his sweetheart and placed
n the guard house. After communiation
with Branchville was had O'Ceal
was turned loose.
The judge of probate was visited
it his residence by the determined
ouple and a marriage license was
>btained a little before midnight. The
udge of probate refused to marry
he couDle. but advised them to re
urn to Brancliville and be married
here. The Rev. George E. Davis.
>astor of the Baptist church, refused
o perform the ceremony and gave
dmilar advice to that of the judge of
jrobate. The couple, learning that
he other ministers were advised not
o perform the ceremony, hurried to
he home of C. P. Brunson, magisrate,
and succeeded in having the
ieremony performed.
The new postoffice at Laurens, costng
$42,000, has been completed and
:he postmaster has moved in.
CHARGED WITH ABDUCTING GIRL
Young Men of Cowpens Held for
Court on Ugly Charge.
Spartanburg. June 20.?Carlisle
Wilkins and Moody Henry, sons of
well-known residents of Cowpens,
were arrested here at 4 o'clock this
morning on a charge of abducting the
fourteen-year-old daughter of a merchant
of Chesnee. To-night, after a
preliminary investigation marked by
dramatic features, they were held by
Magistrate Robert J. Gantt for trial
in the Circuit Court.
The young lady, a very pretty girl,
still in short dresses, who has been
away from home on a visit to rela.1:

a moving picture show. They went
for a drive to Mayo to see her cousin,
she said, but the latter was not at
home. She wanted to go home to
Chesnee, but the young men, she said
persuaded her to drive with them to'
Spartanburg. She consented, intending
to go 10 the home of her aunt here
but they did not reach Spartanburg
until midnight and the youths prevailed
on her to go to the Roberta
Hotel, she testified, telling her it
would be all right, but that it would
be best to register under assumed
names.
During the night the youths, it is
alleged, attempted to enter her room,
but were ejected by James Brewton,
a negro bell boy, who once was a servant
for the girl's father. Brewton
sent word to the Chesnee merchant
that his daughter was in danger. At
the hearing Attorney S. J. Nicholls,
for the prosecution, paid the negro a
high tribute, saying his action had
saved the girl from ruin.
Mr. Wilson, the hotel clerk, testified
that Wilkins and Henry, after
being prevented from entering the
girl's room, told him that they had
brought her to the hotel for an immoral
purpose and if prohibited from
carrying out their intention wanted
their money back. Policemen were
summoned and^arrested the youths.
On his arrival in the citv the girl's
father swore out a warrant for them.
The girl's mother, who is said to
be separated from her husband, entered
the Court room while the hearing
was in progress and sobbed violently
throughout the proceedings.
The case has caused a stir.
O'NEILL'S TROUBLES OVER.
All Charges Against Him at Branchville
Dismissed.
Branchville, June 19.?The vagrancy
charge filed here last night
against a young man giving his name
as Ed. J. O'Neill, of Charleston, was
dismissed this morning by Mayor
Dukes, who deemed the evidence
against O'Neill insufficient to sustain
the charge.
O'Neill had first been arrested on a
charge of adbuction. It developed
later that this accusation was the result
of a misunderstanding between
the two officials of Branchville and
the parents of a young lady of the
town whom O'Neill came here to
.marry. The parents of the young
woman at first objected to the marriage
and their attitude led to O'Neill's
arrest, as has been published.
Later they consented to the marriage
and he was released, but was rearrest
ea suDsequenuy Dy tne town autnonties
on a charge of vagrancy, which
charge, as stated above, was dismissed
by Mayor Dukes this morning, the
evidence failing to bear it out.
O'Neill and the young lady in the
case left Branchville about 5 o'clock
in an automobile, stating that they
were going to Orangeburg for a license
and that they would be married
there.
