C ^ and Invalid. c t a 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.

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 Wesleyan Advocate. t 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.

The young lady, a very pretty girl, still in short dresses, who has been away from home on a visit to rela.1: i-i J _ ? ?? +u^ o* Lives, luxu ut mceuiis luc ?v uu mo cn. 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.
