- m i AFTER HINES ? ~ * tad af lie Lwber Tratt Kind Up ia Tuber ari Larimer Cases WILL GO UNDER PROBE HJnes Is Known Principally for His Deadly Enmity Toward Reciprocity With Our Neighbor, Canada, and for liaising the Slush Fund to Ruy Ijoriliter's Seat in the Senate. A special to the Greenville News says the name of Edward Hines, head of the Lumber Trust, is about to be thrown upon the screen for close, public scrutinizing. Recent indications are that two very important investigations?one by the senate into the election of Senator Lorimer of Illinois and the other by a Federal grand jury Into the lumber trust?will both involve the personality of Edward Hines. i Edward Hines may not be aware of it, but there is a strong tip afloat in Washington to the effect that a Federal grand jury investigation of his lumber trust will be begun within the next two or three weeks. Every iifi? hpon exerted by the de partmnts of justice to keep the plans of (lie government secret. Enough has been learned from other sources, however, to afford substantial basis for the assertion that the evidence already collected is deemed sufficient for presentation to a grand jury with a view to criminal 1 proceedings against the corporations and individuals who compose the| combinations which are generally d<>-1 signated as the lumber trust. Edward Hines will undoubtedly be i summoned as an important witness! in both the lumber trust and Lorimer investigations, because he has been active in looking after both. Mr. Hines is an arch-enemy of Canadian reciprocity. He recently appeared before the ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate in op position to reciprocity, because 01 ine damage, he insisted, would be done to lumber interests. Prior to that he had called upon the President to protest against the notoriety which was being given the lumber combinations by the investigations into their affairs made by the commissioner of corporations. Mr. Ilines, it is reported, urged the president to make public all the information obtained by the commissioner of corporations, asserting that it could not show the existence of a lumber trust, because none existed. Soon after this the bureaus of corporations published a bulletin upon private ownership of timber lands, which, so far from dispelling the suspicion that there is a lumber trust, presented information which clearly indicated the existence of such a combination. The prospective investigation of the Lorimer case, yet it is also obvious that each has a bearing upon the other. nines' efforts to elect Lorimer were first enlisted when, according to his own statement, he was urged by Senators Aldrich and Penrose to do what he could to break the deadlock in the Illionois legislature, in order that another vote might be obtained for the Aldrich tariff bill and the high rates on lumber which Mines demanded for the lumber interests. Clarence S. Punk, general superintendent of the International Harvester company, testified before si committee of tire Illinois legislature that Mines approached him with the statement that "we put Lorimer over ' : ? -* ^ i A A ane ,1,, it ' 1)111 II 119 .p I VW,lJ,r,f ,w ,,vy ,v.

The great timber supply of tlu country, which hut a short time age belonged to the government, is now owned hy a few corporations and in dividuals, and the public has receiv ed little, if any benefit, from th< transfer. Hut the value of the hold ings to their present owners is esti mated at $0,000,000,000. This would not be so had if (her had been any considerable distr'hu tion of this enormous wealth.

The three largest owners are th Southern Pacific railroad, the Noi them Pacific and the Weyerlieuse Timber company.

The Columbia State says Lyle L. DeLaney, a young travelling salesman of Atlanta, who was injured by a wild automobile in the Roddey garape Thursday afternoon in that city, died from the effect of the wound in his right thigh Tuesday afternoon at 2:45 o'clock at the Columbia hospital. Last Thursday afternoon Mr. DeLaney, who represented the Atlas Oil company, walked into the Roddey parage and was standing at the desk near the front show window talking to B. J. Hennies, an employe of the garage, when the accident happened. Walter Alexander, a negro, cranked a big touring car and. without warning, it rushed backward, striking Mr. DeLaney. The rear spring of the car cut a deep gash in his tnigii, which was crushed against the desk. The automobile was put in reverse gear by someone and shot backward when it was cranked. Immediately after the accident Mr. DeLaney was taken to the Columbia hospital, where his wound was dressed by Dr. L. A. Orifilth and Dr. S. B. Fish burn. The physicians held out little hope for his recovery from the first. The wound developed a gangrene infection, and death occurred ITiifsrlnv nftomnnn ! The late Lyle L. DeLaney was 18 years of age. His father is J. P. Dei Laney of Atlanta, general agent of 'the Austin Western company. The other immediate members of his family are: His mother, a young sister and two brothers, Kenneth DeLaney, in business in Wisconsin, and .1. P DeLaney, Jr., a medical student of Atlanta. Young Lyle DeLaney intended to leave the "road" in September and study medicine with his brother in Atlanta. The accident which caused his death was exceedingly unusual. A great deal of sympathy for his bereaved family is felt in Columbia. THE TYPHOID FLY. The Pesky Mosquito ami How to Destroy Him Entirely. An interesting and instructive bulletin issued by the state board of health deals with the mosquito and the house fly or the "Typhoid Fly." In the bulletin is it pointed out that the mosquito needs no introduction in South Carolina. "A human fiend," says the bulletin, "who would enter our stroes and markets by night and after gorging himself, leave poison in all the remaining food to spread suffering, disease and death throughout the community would he execrated, pursued and torn to pieces by an outraged populace?yet a useless insect, the fly, playing his role to perfection is living among us constantly and is regarded merely as a mild source of annoyance often as a subject of jest." ? it. . i- .. n ..i It is pointed out in me uuiieim ' that it is not beyond the hounds of possibility to abolish the mosquito entirely the prime prerequisites to J such an undertaking being the participation of every man, woman and child in the campaign. "The chief important fact," says the paper about mosquitoes is this: without the existence of standing water theii breeding is impossible." Hard to Catch Them.

Two men in the uniforms of building inspectors and wearing the gold badges issued by the Building Department knocked at the door of Angelo Mayo's flat on the second floor of No. 307 East Eleventh street, New York City Tuesday afternoon. When Mrs. Mayo opened the door the men said they wanted to inspect tne p'ace. To questions Mrs. ivxiijo replied that the seven rooms were occupied by herself, her husband and their eight children. The men looked closely at the fire escapes, even testing its strength. "Now, how about the sink?" asked one of the men. She took the men to the sink. One crawled under the examined it carefully. Then they went to the bedrooms. Mrs. Mayo explained that two of the rooms were occupied by her four daughters, two others by her four sons and another by herself and husband. Besides there was a parlor, dining room and kitchen. When 'Mrs. Mayo was showing the men about the rooms, her son Rocco, aged nine years old, came home from school. He followed his mothed for a time and then went into a front room. "What do you keep in this bureau?" one of the men asked Mrs. Mayo as he shook a big chiffonier. "That contains the clothes of my children, my husband and myself," was the answer. Just then one of the fellows seized her by the throat and bore her to the floor, choking her so that she could not breathe. Both drew revolvers. The second man wet a sponge with chloroform and pressed it against Mrs. Mavo's nose, holding it there until she was only half conscious. Then he produced a vial containing a white fluid and tried to force the stuff down her throat. But she clenched her teeth and the liquid poured over her dress. Again the chloroform sponge was applied, and when Mrs. Mayo became unconscious the intruders yot strips of cloth and twine from the bureau and tied h?r hands and feet. 11 " * 1 r\ h If?

By that time both men j had masks over their faces. While one of them held the boy at revolver's point the other began a search of the flat. First he procured all the clothing from the wardrobe, tying it up in furniture coverings which he tore from chairs and sofas. Then he searched drawers. For ten years Mrs. Mayo has been secretly saving money given to hei by her husband for household expenses. She wanted to give hi in a pl^aso?if aiiiMivioo in t h P nP3T flit lire. Ii; a bottom bureau drawer was a stock which contained $2,000 in bills ranging in denomination from $1 to $10. Mrs. Mayo was positive no one knew of the presence of this money. The robber drew out the drawer, turned it upside down and the old stocking fell out. He began to stuff > bills in his pockets. So great was his , excitement that whet# $12") dropped ( on the lloor he did not stop to grab it up. His companion pulled a $00 pair of earrings from the unconscious woman's ears. Then the men turned to the boy and told him he would be , killed if he made an outcry. They walked out and, it is believed, ran to the roof and escaped by way of the adjoining building. Mrs. Teresa Massaro, a neighbor, was the first to reach Mrs. Mayo. She untied the victim's hands and 1 removed the chloroform sponge. Then the police and doctors wore called. Mrs. Mayo said one of her assail' ants seemed to be about 3." years old, ' weighed 200 pounds, had dark hair ^ slightly flecked with gray and apparently was a German. He was adf dressed as "Hill" by his companion, 1 who was about 30, with light hair * and eves and with an Irish brogue, s * Now View of the My. s r) The "busy, curious, thirsty fly" lias at last found a defender.
