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

Funk declared 1 lines was endeavoring
to collect the $1 00,000 from concerns
which would he hen fifed h\
Lorimer's election. This is all denied
hy Ilines.
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. Bu
according to the commissioner of cor
porations less than 2,000 owners hob
more than 88,000,000 acres of tim
her land. An average of 4 0,000 eacl
or 77 square miles. Of these 2,00
owners many of them hold compara

great bulk of the property.
The three largest owners are th
Southern Pacific railroad, the Noi
them Pacific and the Weyerlieuse
Timber company. The latter, whic
is generally regarded as the dom
nating influence in the lumber con
bination and has been represented b
Edward llinoH, owns 1,945,000 acre
of timber land in the north west an
controls vast additional acreag
through family connections and but
iness associates.
The policy of these great holder
of timber land is to hold this sin
her supply until the country's rcsotu

UNUSUAL ACCIDENT
WAS INJURED BY WILD AUTOMOBILE
LAST THURSDAY.
Accident Happened in Roddey Garage
a Few Minutes After Mr. DeLaney
Entered.
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.
It takes many a long and woar\
day and persistent effort to uncart 1

they succeed. Still the net some
times encloses the chief offenders

r much trouble in finding out and pun

. when it comes to reaching to "mai
5 higher up," who is the really guilt:
. person, almost insuperable difficult lei
. are encountered. 'Money, legal tech
idealities, and other potent influence*
2 and at the present time, owing t<
. the greatly awakened public con
t science, the prospect is the best in i
_ long time. Hut it must ever b
1 borne in mind that constant vigi

WOMAN IS BOBBED
"BUILDING INSPECTOR" BADGES
WORN AS BLIND.
As Her Boy Cowers Under Death
Threat Robbers Flee with $2,000
They Find.
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.

came to look for his mother. A revolver
was thrust into his face and
he was told he would be killed if he
cried out. 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,

"Don't swat the fly; swat the person

. said Prof. Forbes. "The fly, instead
ti of being evil, is an agent for good.
