'
Walterboro, July 14.?A committee
of expert accountants has just
finished checking the books of the * *a
Bank of Lodge, at Lodge, in the upper
end of Colleton county, and they
have reported to the officers an apparent
shortage of $6,100. the same
. being scattered over a period of three! pa
years, since the bank was organized J frt
i C. L. Gooche was cashier of this bank set
until a short while ago. The former j
cashier claims, it is said, that the; (hi
. alleged shortage is merely the result; da
. j of irregularities or mistakes in book-| ch
keeping. ; de
The bank examiner made his usual j
! insuection about a month ago, and re- x
| ported nothing wrong with the books! tit
, of the bank, but the officers, on ac-|ch
count of.the bank not pacing asjof
large dividends as they thought it|ga
should and for other reasons, decid-j
! ed to have a thorough examination' .
' na
made which resulted as above. Mr. H
1 Gooche had been with the bank since!
. it was organized. It is understood i *
> an
that the matter has been reported to:
J the bonding company, in which he is ^
. bonded in the sum of $5,000. While
the books are alleged to show a short_!
age of the $6,100, no charge hasi**1'
J been made bv the accountants or the
* I ^
. j officers of the bank, and every op- a"
portunity will be afforded those in- cai
terested to show that the shortage >e
j | is only the result of bad bookkeep- Le
,1 ing. The alleged shortage has in no af1
? | way interfered w ith the business of a
the bank, which is in excellent cont
dition. While the matter has been M

daughter of Mr.

o-and-a-half-year-old daughter died:
is afternoon. Both children were!

use of their deaths, although such

who will examine it with a

or not the effects of the serum
is fatal to the two little girls. It is

iexpected.
Great sympathy is expressed by the

THAW SHARKS OFF LAW.
Jury's Verdict Declaring Thaw Sane
Adopted by Supreme Court Justice.
New York, July 16.?Harry K,
Thaw shook off the grip of the law
today, motored down Broadway to
the applause of admirers, crossed the
ferry to Jersey City, bade the sheriff
good bye and whirled'away toward
Philadelphia, followed by a procession
of automobiles filled with newspaper
men.
-He reached Newark, ten miles
away, about 2 o'clock and stopped
lor luncheon. A crowd quickly assembled
outside the restaurant. They
cheered him. Thaw's announced intention
was to motor to Philadelphia
and there take a train for Pittsburg.
Outside Newark, Thaw lost som
of the cars which followed him.
Apparently he had headed back for
New York as a ruse to elude the
newspaper men. This created somt
speculation, as he had previously
said he wanted to attend a theatrical
performance on Broadway tonight
and had abandoned the idea rathei
reluctantly.
Free After Nine Years.
For the first time in over nine
years Thaw was free today to go and
come as he pleased. Supreme Courl
Justice Hendrick, shortly before noon
announced that he had adopted the
verdict of the jury which Wednesday
found Thaw sane. The writ committing
Thaw to Matteawan seven years
ago thereupon automatically became
inoperative.
The State's lawyers appealed and
Thaw was released on $35,000 bail
Under the terms of the bond he is
to hold himself amenable Jo the
court's orders until the appeal is finally
decided. Meantime he may gc
wherever he pleases.
Thaw seemed delighted. He said
he was very happy and frequentlj
stood up in his automobile to bow tc
those around him.
What Thaw's attitude would be towards
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was a matter
o'f considerable speculation. He
would not return a direct answer tc
any pucstion on this point. When
one interviewer asked him if he expected
to see her soon Thaw lookec
at his questioner steadily for a few
moments and turned away withoul
a word.
CLAIM t\ S. HOLDING FUNDS.
Suit for Division of $68,072,388 Entered
In Supreme Court.
Washington, July 16.?Claiming
that Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department is the custodian of a
fund of $68,072,388, gathered intc
the treasury as the fruit of the labors
of slaves in the Southern States be
tween the years 1859 and 1868, H
N. Johnson, of Louisiana, R. Bowers
of Texas, C. B. Williams, of Mississippi,
and Mamie Thompson, of Tennessee,
have filed suit in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia foi
recovery ana tne esiauusnmcui <jl e
lien on the fund for their alleged
share and for such others as may be
entitled. The court is told that the
claimants were subject to a systeir
of involuntary servitude in the Southern
States and performed work in
the production of cotton and in its
preparation for market, and that the
fund was collected by the governmeni
as internal revenue on raw cotton.
The title of the United States is
questioned by the plaintiffs, who saj
that this sum is not the legitimate
property of the United States anc
should be distributed among those
by whose labor cotton yielding the
revenue was produced. The plaintiffs
further declare that the system ol
involuntary servitude by which plaintiffs
were dominated forced them anc
their ancestors against their will tc
render the labor while in justifiable
fear of bodily harm or destruction.
Through Attorney E. M. Hewlett
of the local oar: uornenus .). .Junes
of Muskogee. Okla., and H. A. Guess
the plaintiffs ask that the matter to
referred to a master in chancery tc
take proof of their claims.

Recovery.
Milledgeville, Ga., .July 20.?Improvement
in the condition of Leo M.
Frank was announced tonight by
physicians attending him, and they
continued hopeful for his recovery
from the knife wound inflicted by J.
William Creen, a fellow convict at
the Georgia prison farm here.
The following official bulletin, signed
by Drs. G. D. Compton, Thomas

hands of William Creen, a fellow con[
vict also serving a life term for murder.
The blow was struck as Frank
' slept in his bunk in a dormitory late
k last night. %
[ Creen said today, when taken fron
) solitary confinement long enough* tc
be questioned, that he planned the
I attack alone and that no one knew
r what he intended to do. He was noi
( communicative today and gave as hi?
only excuse that "he thought il
should be done." He said, however
that he regretted his act.
k Attack Unexpected.
, Frank was quartered at night in a
i dormitory with about one hundred
. other prisoners and occupied a bunk
[ about forty feet from one of the twc
P doors to the ldrge room. Creen's
; bunk was fourth from his. No prisoner
is allowed to leave his place
without permission from one of the
two guards stationed at the dormitory
at night. Shortly after 11
' o'clock last night Creen called out
for permission to get up, and it was
. granted.
; He started down the line of bunks
toward the one occupied by Frank,
t As he reached it he quickly^grabbed
> Frank by the hair and delivered one
s blow with the knife he had concealed
The attack was witnessed by the
. guard, who rushed to the bunk and
, prevented Creen from striking again
Creen was overpowered and among
prisoners who rushed to Frank's aid
s were two physicians, one of whom al'
so was serving a life term for muri
der.
1 25 Stitches Taken.
The two convict-physicians gave
' first aid add treated the wound until
1 Dr. Guy Compton, the prison physician,
was summoned from his home
1 half a mile away. The three mer
' took twenty-five stitches in Frank's
* neck. Dr. H.' .T. Rosenberg, the
^ Frank family physician, arrived frorr
Atlanta today with nurses. He said
' that while his condition is precarious
he has a chance for life. Mrs
' Frank's brother, M. Marcus, of At'
lanta, also accompanied Dr. Rosenberg.
Mrs. Frank was in Milledgeville al
t the home of J. M. Burns. She was
f! _ ... .....
j not told of the attacK until aiter mt
' I physicians had finished their work
' j She became hysterical, but later was
' | calmed and was taken to the prison
'j hospital, where she has remained
! since.
Frank has asked the prison doc'
| tors again if they thought he woulc
' j live.
!| "You have a good chance to recov'
er," he was told today.
Frank smiled. "Don't punish the
man who attacked me." he said, "1
have nothing to fear. There is noth>
ing between me and God. I will be
able to prove to the world that I am
innocent of the crime of which they

MOKE RESTRICTION OX COTTON.
??? *
England Plans to IJniit Export to
! Xeutral Countries to Actual Xeeds.
London, July 15.?The British .
government hopes very shortly to
. limit the export of cotton to neutral
countries to the precise amount of
actual need.
The .Marquis of Crewe, lord presiHcnt
of the council and liberal leadpr
in the house of lords, made an announcement
to this effect in the upper
house.
The Marquis of Crewe's statement
' was made in reply to a series of questions
by Baron Charnwood regarding
; the supply of cotton and other material
through neutral countries to Germany,
and whether the government
> had found that the measures taken
s since March 1 were effective.
The real question, he thought, was
! whether it was advisable to add cot
ton to the contraband list. On that
' question there had been a number of
misunderstandings "and misapprehen- V
sions and some of them, the speaker
said, undoubtedly obtained not only
? in this country, but in neutral countrips
iSi
So far as could be ascertained, he
? continued, the naval measures taken
i to prevent fresh supplies of cotton
from reaching Germany had been sue- t
( cessful. The government hoped by
continual friendly negotiations to.im1
prove the position progressing toward , ^
: what must be their main purpose;
i namely, to limit the exports to those
- neutral countries to the precise
- amount of their actual needs calcu;
lated on the average imports which
i they had employed at home during
the last few years.
1 Under Present System.
' The Marquis of Crewe said that on
! this question of >contraband there
could be no magic in the mere dec- j, 'f-.
* laration of any commodity as contra'
band so long as the government pur'
sued its present system of examining
' all goods. He did not think anyone
\frould suppose that under international
law or the most elementary
1 rules of fair play it was possible to
1 institute a blockade of neutral coun:
tries with whom England had no
> quarrel.
! therefore, the government had
adopted a policy, which admittedly
! was novel, but which was rendered
> necessary by the changed conditions
of maritime warfare. The desire of
the government was to admit the ex;
port to neutral countries of goods
?. representing the needs of these coun:
tries, and absolutely no more.
!|. "In the United States," he said,
J "the placing of cotton on the contra1
band list would cause no small
-amount of alarm, and the government
is convinced that so far as the
! entrance of cotton into Germany is / '
' concerned we should gain no benefit.
At present we stand better in in- , , ,-j
> structed public opinion in the United
1 States -than our enemies, and, there
fore, unless it is clear that a change
of this kind is absolutely necessary,
the government is averse to taking t
action, which would be regarded by
? a particular interest in the Southern
I States of America as being unfriend,
"I certainly am not going to say
i that if the military considerations
5 were found td be paramount we
? might not have to face corresponding
, disadvantages, ^nd we should be un[
wise to bind ourselves strictly."
* A young lady in Nantucket was
awakened from her slumbers last
Thursday morning by the sound of
rain falling heavily on the roof. The
t "rain" proved to be the flying embers
. from a nearby fire.

; he attacked Frank as the latter slept.
Creen admitted that he had talked
> with convicts on the Frank case, but
i! said that they had not influenced him
I in any way. He took all the blame
for the crime on his own shoulders,
and said while he thought at the
I time that he was doing right, he now
regretted his act.
Superintendent Smith said this afternoon
that CiVjen had not been per(jmitted
to read newspapers or antii
Frank literature. ^ . r
Creen Studied Bible,
s "Creen read the Bible." said the
i superintendent. "The Bible was furI
nished to him at the library. He
[ studied it whenever he had an odd
'moment. He seemed to be getting . ,, f
| religion. I know that Creen was a
i bad man, but never dreamed that he
i would attack a fellow convict. I had
.instructed the guards not to pick a
| quarrel with him, as it might result
: seriously."
"Did Creen have a quarrel with
Frank?' he was asked.
"No, absolutely no," said the superintendent.
"They appeared to be
friends. That's why the attack is all
the more shocking."
