Wilson Urges the Democratic Party to Defioe Its Position. M A YOUNG HAN'S PARTY -? New Jersey's Governor Speaks Before National Dengue of Democratic Claim Jefferson Day.?"Democracy is an Energy of Bife Dwelling in the Bank and File." urging the Democratic party 13 ?tate its creed In the concrete and -define clearly the especial forms of privilege it declares .against in a general campaign "for the rights of the people," Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in an address to the J National League of Democratic Clubs 1 at Indianapolis, Ind., Friday night ^ set forth the objects of the party as ho believed they exist and should be stated. Governor Wilson said in part: "We are fond of speaking of ourselves as the party of Jefferson and Jackson, not because we are a party of old men, reminiscent of things? ^ gone by and in love with what has been, but because we are a party touched with the ideals which made these men great, whose names we recall with such reverence and enthusiasm, because the breath of out party's life is its utter faith in tli*? prinicples of Democracy. It is its devotion to the rights of the people of whatever class or degress a& / against all claims all selfish vested interests which seek control instead of freely serving the life and development of the nation. "It is so far from being a party of mere reminiscence, a party which tries to draw the country back to ?inUr>ioo w>1 ir?Vi' holnn& tn nnntlipr time, to the circumstances of another age, that it Is, above all others, a young man's party, because a party of movement, of readjustment, a party that presses toward the future with unshaken faith, with unwavering confidence and ever renewed Vop^s and aspirations for the princ'ples of freedom, which are none other than the prinicples of opportunity, the principles of men not made, but on the make, struggling f'-om achievement to achievement in a free exercise. ' "These things are embodied in Jef- * ferson, the thoughtful, phisosophica>, 1 penetrating thinker for mankind, and in the rugged Jackson, who seemea to cut his way toward the right by rough instinct and the mere energy 1 Kvf an honest, indomitable nature; and 1 Jso we see embodied in them the two sides of Democracy, Its thoughtfulness, its vision of hope, its confidence in the progress and liberation ] of mankind, and linked with these i /i's force of the common people, its < abounding energy outside as well as within the field of cultivated thought. ' "Democracy is not a mere theory < of government. It is an energy of life dwelling in the rank and file, in- i t^rpreted once and again by great 1 leaders, but not confined to their p/i- 1 vito cult and understanding. Its i blood is the blood of the people. Its 1 purposes are the purposes shared by < all mankind. Tts hopes are the hopec < of all rational civilization. 1 "This is the day upon which we i rtter our creed and renew our views.

We must state our creed in the concrete, not in the abstract. Our ^ thoughts run back of course, to the great Declaration of Independence which Jefferson gave us, but we cannot stop with that. The Declaration of Independence did not mention the questions of our day. It is a mere starting point for our thoughts. It is of no consequence to us unless we can translate its general terms into examples of the present day and substitute them In some vital way for the examples it itself gives, so concrete, so intimately involved in the circumstances of the day in which it was conceived and written.

A dispatch from Mexico say* iuu> or more insurrectos were killed and over 100 were wounded In a battle lought between Sauz and Santa Claia canyon according to federal couriers. The couriers brought orders to have Jiospital cots ready for the federal wounded. The federals reported Ave killed, but later developments may change the figures. A number of women and children are believed to be among the killed. Coming across from Casas Grandes on their way to Cihuahua with prisoners under Gen. Lis Valdes, the fedeials, followed by about 100 refugees were attacked. Five hundred insurrectos under Gen. Orozco and Gen. villa had been instructed to Francisco Madero to head off the Casas Grandes contingent and If possible lelease the prisoners. The fight took place on a hacienda while the prisoners, shackled together by ropes, and the women and children refuges, wearied from the long tramp, were scattered in a long broken line. The federals immediately responded with heavy firing and placed the prisoners and non-combatants under protection. The fighting continued for several hours and resulted In sending forth from Chihuahua to Gen. Rabago 500 reinforcements. The extent of the fight became known when riderless horses arrived with evidences of having left the front in a stampede. So far as known none of the prisoners, among whom are believed to be many Americans, were wounded, and none et? caped, although these statements are based on unofficial reports. Great hope for peace is entertained because of the prospect of the arrival of Francisco Medero, Sr., father of the 1 insurrecto leader. * TIME UP THIS WEEK. PoWlorV I took fin I >isocnsarv Disclos ures In Nearly Duo. Thos. B. Felder, the Atlanta attorney, charged by the governor with attempting to frame up a $500,000 deal with H. H. Evans, former chairman of the old State dispensary board of control and now under in- J dictment. for receiving a rebate, promised several weeks ago to tell some interesting things about the life of Governor Blease If the governor ( did not sign the act providing for the investigation of the former dispensary commission. , He made this promise ?n *Carch \ 20. He said that he would make his disclosures within 3 0 days, wilier* means that a statement will very probably be made from Atlanta on Thursday of the present week. Those , who knew T. -B. Felder and who ! have talked with him since the .con troversy with the governor commenced a month ago say that the controversy will be Interesting. Gov. Mease gave to the press a ( letter which, he said, had been writ- , ten by T. B. Felder to H. H. Evans concerning a company which would . corner the whiskey business in this ( State. Still another letter was made ( public concerning the same deal. The Letters were signed "T. B." Mr. Felder denied sending these letters. , ? ? ?

Murden, white, a car repairer in the Southern Railroad shops in Charleston, was shot and killed by his son, Isaac, 16 years of age, at his residence, near Lincolnvllle, Saturday night shortly after 8 o'clock, after (he father had attempted to wipe out cf existence his whole family, conr ' r* P 0% ??r I >o n /I r* I M rv nit 1 1 /I *?n?? QlOtint) yj A. u. fT 4iv UliVA Allltvy UlltiUl Vii< The son was lodged in the Berkeley County jail, at Monks Corner, by Acting Coroner D. V. Carn, after an inquest which was held over the body of his father earlier in the day. The News and Courier says it appears Murden had been drinking for some time prior to the tragedy, which ended his life, and that he had made himself particularly disagreeable to (he members of his family on several different occasions. He did not come to the city to work on Saturday. During the afternoon >he terrified his wife and children by flourishing a (Jou'Die-Darreiiea shotgun, stating that he was about to kill them all. Through some skilful manoeuvering several of the girls of the family succeeded in seperating their father nom the weapon. Upon discovering lie loss of the gun and unable to find its hiding place, Murden promptly boarded a train for Charleston and piocured himself a new weapon, together with a box of shells. it iv. stated that on leaving the train at Lincolnville, he fired eight shots in quick succession, probably for the purpose of trying, the weapon. Upon reaching his home he found that the members of his family had f.ed in terror, only Isaac awaiting him on the back door step. The boyhad a lamp in his hand and according: 1 In the test.imonv rendered at the in-h quest spoke to his father in an endeavor to pacify him. The answer was a shot from his newly procured ] gun. Isaac fled into the interior of 1 the house and hid behind a door, i closely pursued by the father. Murden poked his gun around tiio ] aoor and fired three shots in quick ' succession, none of them taking effect in his son. Surprised at hearing no outcry from Isaac, Murden next < peered behind the door, and in that i Listant was shot with a magazine re- 1 * olver in the hands of the now thor oughly aroused boy. Only one shot 1 was fired by the son, the bullet entering the left side just beneath the arm and leaving the body near the right breast. Murden fell to the floor and ex] ired almost Instantly. The wife and several children rushed to the scene and gathered about the foi m of their husband and father just in Lime to see him die. Neighbors arrived ^ on the scene shortly afterwards* Magistrate Carn, acting coroner for that portion of Berkeley County, took charge of the body and ?arly Sunday morning hell an official investigation into the circumstances leading up to the death of Murden. The jury .was unable to agree on a verdict and the boy, Isaac, was afterwards taken to the Moncks Corner jail, where he will await trial for his life at the next term of the Criminal Court. Murden was about 5 8 years of age, and had been in the employ of the Southern railway as a car repairer lor a number of years. A son, Paul, was killed by a Southern Railway rain near Lincolnville several years ago, the father being awarded a large ' ordict. from the resulting action hi ought against the road. * ? ? ? Poisoned by Whiskey. Lewis Gamble, a negro farmer in Vork county, died suddenly at the home of his wife, from whom he had t heen separated for years.

The opening arguments for and j against the Canadian Reciprocity bill wae made in the house Saturday, in two etrikine: sneechen. C.IauHa k"H chin of North Caror/na, one of tuc leading Democratic speakers, addressed the house for three hours .in favor of the measure, arraining the Republican argument of protection for the farmer, and characteriing it ' as "humbug." ( Following him, Asher C. Hinds, , Maine, for 16 years the parliamentary clerk of the house, made his first 1 speech as a member of the body, and i alligned himself in opposition to the treaty in an address devoted to the ' support of protection for the farmers of the nation. The riciprocity treaty, he said, threatened national prosperity in threatening to take away from the farming communities the protection to their products, necessary to their continued prosperity and development. It was a day full of interesting de velopments and incidents. Mr. Kit- 1 chin, skillful in repartee, drew frequent Interruptions from the Republican side, and kept the house in a turmoil. He paced up and down the main aisle of the house, arraign- 1 ing the leaders of the Republican side, who have fought for the protec- 1 tive principle, paying particular attention to' Representative Dalzell, 1 Pa. He pictured President Taft as 1 coming to the Democrats on bended knees to solicit their support. The success of the president's desire for reciprocity with Canada depended upon the Democrats, he said. 1 "Oh, my friends," said Mr. Kit- ' chin, "how the viccissitudes of American politics humiliate the pride of ( even a president. We were impossi- ( ble obstructionists, and we utterly ( failed in anything that was sensi- * ble; and yet before that great poir> 1 tical utterance is cold upon his lips, ^ the desperate necessity of a discredit- 1 ed administration sent this president * on bended knees begging before this [ Democratic majority." * Interruptions from insurgent Re- 1 puDiican members injected mucn in- ? teresting debate Into the Kitchin 3peech. He was asked if he would ^ vote for free lumber, free sugar, less c protection on cotton goods, and like ^ reductions of the tanrt. e "I will vote for free lumber," said Mr. LaFollette, Wash., whom Kit- 8 chin had characterized as represent- 1 [ng the lumber interests, "if you will t vote for free sugar." a "All right," said Mr. Kitchin, "I'll f vote for both of them." ^ "Will you vote to put all trust controlled articles on the free list?" de- c manded Mr. Lenroot of Wisconsin. f "Yes," said Mr. Kitchin, "and with- * in four or five days we will bring in 1 a free list bill that will give you all 2 that opportunity." ^ 'Mr. Kitchin expressed pleasure at * seeing the insurgents "aanc ?i^ ( iround the fires with the disting- * uished stand-patters of protection, 1 singing hosannahs and hallelujahs? 6 the farmer." * ?s Selling Human Flesh. * While the plague in Manchuria is ^ :>n the decrease, there is still much suffering and want over tn?re. i-uman flesh is being sold for food, j Kumatao Hishara, in charge of the crematorium in Kudzuya, was arrest- t 3d March 23, charged with selling t tinman flesh.

Discover Just In Time that Accepted Amendment to Bucker Bill For Publicity of Campaign Contributions Before Flection Would Apply to Primary Elections. The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says the Democrats of the House of Representa tives continued to-day their schedule of sending something warm to the Senate. While the latter body has been licking its committees into shape, the House hue been passing things which will give the Senate a lot of trouble, and to-day the Itucker bill for publicity of campaign contributions before election was passed. For the first time in the session, the House Republicans caught the Democrats napping and came near throwing them off their balance. The trick was worked by an amendment making the campaign publicity bill apply to primary elections also. It took the majority some hours to recover from the shock and defeat the amendment, on the ground that it would throw the primaries Into the Federal Courts. The incident showed that tne vj. 0. P., though down, is still dangerous from a parliamentary point of view. But for the vigorous use of the Democratic party whip, an important Republican amendment extending publicity of candidates for uong.ress would nave Deen retained In the bill Yvhen It finally passed. As it was, the amendment was adapted over the protest of the Democratic leaders, by the support of 52 >f the Democrats who voted with the jolid Republican strength. Resort to i parliamentary move enabled the Democrats later to get rid of tnc? intendment, but 2 8 of their num)er refused to change their attitude md stuck with the Republicans. The tucker bill passed finally by a unaninous vote, but only after a stormy icene. The amendment, offered by 3/Tr. fackson, a new member from Wisonsin, provides that candidates for Congress shall file list of moneys usid in their individual campaign. The amendment met with instant upport from the Republicans. Mr. tucker, of Missouri, chairman of 1 he committee, in charge of the bill, isserted that it would so change the orm of the law that it might enlanger its final passage. This did not deter fifty-four T)emo:rats from supporting the Jackson imendment and the announcement of he vote was followed by a storm of ipplause from the Republican side. \s soon as the vote was announced, VTr. Rucker moved to recommit the jill, with its new amendment, to the elections committee, with instruc;ions to that committee to send the jill to the House without the Jackion amendment. This parliamentary move to tqueeze the amendment out of the jill brought about a split in the democratic ranks. Twenty-eight of hefh stood by their former action ind voted against the motion to reommit the bill but the Democratic eaders mustered enough votes to nrry their point, 157 to 149, and he bill technically was sent back to he committee. Mr. Rucker gathered the members f the committee around him and, | without leaving the floor, they intructed him to report the bill again without the Jackson amendment. kS soon as the vote had been anounced he again reported the bill 1 o the House with the Jackson ! mendment left off, and the motion arried 104 to 199. The bill in its ' riginal form then passed the House ( without a dissenting vote. 5 The Rucker bill, as finally passed, * lakes more stringent the campaign j ..Kit 1 .? ?? %-v n rarwwf 4 1 Q 1 i \ n liUIIUliy Icl>v 111 i i> , \r. uu tucker bill will require publicity of unds by the campaign committee ten ays previous to election and the hi- * ri:g of supplemental statements ev- i ry three days thereafter.

That American Soil Moat be Respect* ed and Lives of Our People Not Endangered. President Taft is determined that battles between Mexican Federals and insurrectos shall not be fought on American eoil. He is equally determined that the lives of American non-combatants shall not be endangered by the forces of President Dlax and those of Gen. Madero. Future combats between the rebels and the forces of the Mexican Government must not be fought out so close to the American line, as to put in jeopardy the lives and propert> of Americans. Through the State department, thn President Friday night notified the Mexican Government that it must see that in the future no such unfortunate incident as that at Agua Prieta, when two Americans were killed and eleven wounded, be allowed to occur. Through the war department and through the department of justice, the President sent the same sort of warning to the leader of the Insurrectos at Agua Prieta. The belief is expressed that these warning will be obeyed to the letter. Neither the President nor any of his advisors was inclined to regard the incident as Agua Prieta as a forerunner of anything more serious, but they did conclude that it must not be repeated. President Taft feels now that his order sending the troops to Texas has been justified by the devejoi>dents of the last rew days. He is more certain than ever that conditions in Mexico are alarming. He is hoping that there will be no need for any further movement to the South, but if there should be, ho knows that 20,000 American troops are near the Rio Grande and that along that river the Mexican force is very small. The Douglas, Arizona, Chamber of Commerce has reported to the State department the casualties of Tliurs day's battle. In reply to this, the President said In a message: "Mr. E. P. Hill: This Government is much distressed at the situation as you have described it. Steps will be token by which a deplorable incident will be avoided in the further. In the meantime, I hope that the Chamber of Commerce and the authorities of Douglas will use all influence possible to keep all as far away as possible from the zone of fighting and to avoid taking, sides in order not to aggravate the situation." * ? ? rnK.iutiir?u v?. riwii/iitiiwu. ?

The controversy precipitated by Gov. -Please over the contract given by the building committee of Wlnthrop college for the plans for the new industrial arts and science building to the Charlotte firm has been brougt to a close.
