tiie Front.

Mr. Pieper, member of assembly
f the State of Wisconsin, has introueed
a resolution in that body,
hich, if it does nothing more, will
erve to make Mr. Pieper known
utsid,e the confines of his , own
tate. In part it is as follows:
"Whereas, it is, an undisputed fact
h$t if those who are directly reponsible
for the terrible slaughter
ow goi^g on in Europe would be
ompelled to stan(^ in the front rank
r' battle and do the actual fighting,
istead of sitting in some office, or
matching the process of slaughter
rom some sheltered place through a
pyglass, well removed from the
oint of danger, there would be no
rar. ;
"Resolved, that the legislature of
Wisconsin respectfully urge congress
bat at its next session the military
olicy of our government be molded
s follows:
"* * * In case of war, every coiiressman
who is such at the time war
s declared shall be compelled to enst
and serve as a private soldier
uring the war, at a compensation
f $13 per month, and no congresslan
to be promoted during any war
i
3r which he voted."
. The resolution then goes on to
ay that after the conscription of the
ational lawmakers all the millionires
be drafted and next the preachrs
and the lawyers, the editors, and
ist of all, such men as have an inome
of more than $2,000 a year.
Mr. Pieper does not specify who
re to be the officers or whether in
tie first line of defense the senator
r the representatives are - to have
recedence. He should attend to
? ... ? a J3
ills or Representative liaraner auu
fobson will be much disturbed. Likeise

ieper's army would be:

PAX-AMERICANS FOR CARRAXZA J
! Washington Officially Advised as to
Argentine, Brazil and Chile. 1
Washington, Oct. 10.?Official advices
have been received here that
Argentina, Brazil and Chile are in
accord with the decision of the United
States to grant recognition to the
party led by Gen. Carranza as the de
facto government in Mexico.
It became known today that some ^
of the South American governments j
long before yesterday s conference, ^
at which it was decided to recognize ^
the Carranza government, had au- v
thorized their diplomatic representatives
to favor the recognition of Gen. n
Cgrranza in the Pan-American de- n
liberations. ^
President Wilson has received a
from Secretary Lansing a report of ^
the proceedings of the final confererice.
Several days ago he indicated q
to the secretary his acquiescence in B
the plan proposed.
Extension of recognition is expect- ^
ed within a week. This will result ri
in an immediate embargo on arms p
against factions opposed to the Car- q
ranza government, a step which will
weaken materially tfhe resources .of Cj
the Vila element. 4 Miguel Diaz ^
Lombardo gave out a statement to.night
in behalf of the Villa faction n
declaring that while it was a source
of satisfaction that the United States
had shown its sympathy witli the
\r. l. A ux x'.xllli-x "F
iviexican ooiisiiLUiiuiimisL revuiuuuu
against Huerta by recognizing a revolutionary
faction, nevertheless ft was
intended to demonstrate by further
military operations that the Carranza
party supremacy was temporary.
Villa's Attitude. f
f]
George C. Carothers, American p
consular agept, telegraphed the
State department the substance of a .
long interview he had with Gen. Vil- p
la at Jaurez, in which Villa explained
in line with utterances to the
press last night that he intended to
continue fighting Carranza. No men- ^
tion was made of withdrawing protection
of foreigners as reported in
press dispatches, but officials realize
that the legal responsibility for pro- ^
tection of foreigners rests always
with the recognized government for
<111 ptu 15 U1 tlltJ UUUliLlJ^, WliClIlCl in ^
rebellion or not. #
The Washington government during
the Taft administration took the j
position, however, that even wiien a ^
recognized government existed in p
Mexico City the leaders of rebellious ^
factions were personally responsible
for the acts of their followers. J
This precedent probably will be followed
in the event of difficulties in *
Northern Mexico.
FAIL TO ENTER VAULT.

Secure Only Few dollars From Draw- a
er in Bank-i-Store Robber Chased. 0
North Augusta, Oct. 7.?The North
Augusta branch of the Bank of West- ^
ern Carolina was entered last night a
by robbers. It was apparently the c
effort of novices and was unsuccess- *
ful. Entrance was gained through s
one of the rear windows. Several s
bricks about the grate were picked P
out and signs were left on the vault ^
door, but the attempt was unsuccess- s
ful and only two or three dollars d
from a drawer and the cashier's J
revolver, together with a few revenue 11
stamps, were secured. Detectives4 tl
arrived this morning and are at work d
on the case. 0
The Thompson store at the foot H
of North Augusta Bridge was enter*
ed this morning about 1 o'clock. Mr. *>
Thompson heard a noise and, with
revolver in hand, went to a window,
thinking he would see the party, but g
the robber had just left the building
and shot twice at Mr. Thompson,
who returned the fire as the robber ^
was trvine to get through the gate. <r
* w w ~ X
Several shots were fired; the robber r(
ran, losing a shoe and taking very
little stolen goods with him. g.
STOLE BLOODHOUNDS. E
IT
Burglar Later Left Man-Hunting Ani- V'
mals Tied MOe From Town.
St. Matthews, Oct. 8.?A burglar **
of unusual caution struck this town
last night. Aware of the fact that
Sheriff Hill had lately invested in a ei
pair of young bloodhounds, and also
conscious of the fact that young
j bloodhounds are sometmes unsophisticated,
the burglar went by the sheriff's
dog jail and stole the hounds.
He then broke into the store room|^r
nf <5 doovitT: rm ATain street, enter- ! i c
\JL KJ ? , ...
ing from the rear, where he had I
broken the window* bars, and stole
considerable quantities of dry goods !si)
and clothing. About a mile from'ds
town he tied the dogs to a tree and | wi
proceeded alone. Search is being iw
S6
made, but no clue has been established.
The hounds were put on the

PREFERS DEATH TO DISGRACE.
Annie May Glenn Ends Life by Drinking
Poison at Greer Home.
Greenville, Oct. 8.?Declaring that
she was disgraced and ruined and
that her lover, Robert McEleroy, who
promised to marry her today, had
fled the city, Annie May Glenn, 16
years of age, a happy school girl and
general favorite of Greer, today at
1:30 o'clock "drank a dose of poison
and died within an hour in agony
despite the efforts of several physicians.
According to the girl who confess
ed to a minister's wife, a next door
neighbor, who first reached her side,
McEleroy had visited her the night
before and promised to come and
marry her today. The home had
been prepared for the ceremony
when the girl was informed that her
lover had fled the city.
She was at home with an 8-yearold
sister, the mother being absent. #
The younger sister was sent to the
drug store for a bottle of poison and
as soon as she received it she drank
the contents after pouring it in a
glass. She ran screaming to the
f
front door and in response the Rev. *
Ernest Ross and his wife, next door
neighbors, rushed to her aid and
learning the cause summoned several
physicians who worked heroically
for an hour, when death ended her
sufferings.
MAYOR PRESENTS HIS SIDE.
Says He Was in Restricted District on
Inspection Trip on September 18.
_________
Columbia, Oct. 7.?After testifying
on the stand this afternoon un
der oath that his reason for going ; *
to the restricted district on the night
of September 18 was to make an inspection
and to see for himself
whether or not intoxicants were Sfeing
sold there, and denying that he
struck Grace MoRay or that there
was any disorder in the house of
Lily Moore while he and his party
were present, Mayor L. A. Griffith
f . IvVgj
offered to resign if Councilmen E.
M. DuPre, M. M. Rice and C. M. As1i'tr
bil would do the same. "Let us resign
and take this matter before the
people in another election," offered
the mayor. The councilmen declined
this proposition, Mr. Rice saying
he had hard enough time getting -? *
elected and proposed holding his office.
Messrs. DuPre and Asbil were
willing to face the recall if the citizens
thought they were not doing / J
their duty, but did not say anything
about resigning.
The proposition made by the may- ...
or to resign if the three members of
council named Would do so brought
forth applause and cheers from some
of the citizens who crowded the council
chamber.
When the taking of testimony was
concluded Representative Alan Johnsfnne
.Tr _ nf nnnnsel for Mavnr Grif
fith, asked what action was going to
be taken. Mr. D. W. Robinson, of
the citizens' commitee, said any report
would be made to the mass
meeting of citizens, which appointed
them. Attorney Johnstone asked
if the committee and council met to
formulate a report that Mayor Griffith
be given full and ample opportunity
to go before them, and this
Mr. Robinson promised to do.
ASSASSINATED ON HIGHWAY.
, . : :i|
White Man Held in Connection With ;
Aiken Killing.
Aiken, Oct. 9.?What appears to
have been one of the most deploraplaces
by the would-be assassins,
in this county for years came to light
yesterday afternoon, when the sheriff
returned from the killing of Sam :
Berry, which occurred near Eureka
Thursday afternoon, although Sheriff
Howard and Coroner Spradley \
were not notified until late that evening
and could not go to the scene until
yesterday morning. Berry was
found dead by a roadside, and a jury
of inquest was empanelled.
It seems from the evidence that
one Johnson Temples, white, had
had a dispute over a land question
with Berry, and, in company with * /
Berry, was going along a road, when,
according to Temples, who was about
six feet in the rear of Berry, the lat?
_ ?
ter was fired upon, being snot a number
of times with a shotgun. Berry
fell dead, and Temples ran off, and
never reported the killing, it was
stated. All the evidence was gone
into fully, and the jury found a verdict
that Berry came to his death at
hands of parties unknown to them.
Sheriff Howard arrested Temples,
and he is now in jail at Aiken. Some
two years ago Berry narrowly escaped
death from ambush, his buggy
and horse being hit in a number of
? 1
places by the would-be assassine.
