THINKS HE WD1 WIN
?
's^ Pmw His Opinion on the Great Pop*
ulartty of Clark Amosg House Associates
and Remarkable Ability
He Has Displayed, Considered In
I Connection With Present Status.
In an Interview with the Washingpi^
ton correspondent ot The News and
Courier Representative D. B. Finley,
of the Fifth South Carolina District
declares that in congressional circles
the. belief is growing that of the men
thus far mentioned Speaker Clark
would be the strongest candidate the
Democrats could name. Mr. Finley
atated that the party had in the past
won its victories on the tariff question.
He is also strongly of the
Opinion that Speaker Clark is the
strongest available candidate, and
J* should be nominated.
"The Democratic party is in better
shape to-day than it has been at any
time within the last eighteen years/'
* said Mr. Finley. "In 1892 the party
was united on.the tariff question and
swept the country, gaining for the
first time since the clvdl war the
Presidency and both houses of Con-1
gress. In 1894 the unfortunate division
within the party on the money
i question cost us the control of Congress.
Happily the money question
1s now out of the way and the tariff is
/ again a live issue.
For*l? years the Republican party
H fias perpetuated itself in lwer as
S a result of Democratic divisions on
questions other than the tariff. Now
!| * the Republicans are divided on the
tariff to (as great extent as the Democrats
were during Cleveland's second
administration. The old line Re!
publicanb, the party of Cannon, Payne
and Dalzell, stand for a protective
I ^ tariff. The so-called insurgent ReI
I publicans, who hail from the agrii|
1 cultural States of the West, proclaim
their opposition to a protective tariff
-unless It is on some product of their
Immediate section. But generally
their attitude on the tariff is well
Illustrated in the vote in the House
of Representatives on the passage of
the farmers' free list bill and the bill
reducing the tariff on wool, when
I' ^ practically all of them voted with
the Democrats. Today there are no
division in our party on any subject.
Next year we shall enter the national
campaign with a record of achievement
in tariff reform, and lessening
the high cost of living, which we expect
to carry us to victory.
"Much is being said in the public
prints and by individuals in every
} walk of life as to who will be the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
in 1912. Fortunately for the
country, the Democracy Is In a most
favorable condition today. This condition
Is creditable entirely to the
splendid record of the party In the
~ ^ .1*4m 4Via loot

Congress. We were a minority party
'i' w 1n that Congress, of course, but,
thanks to the wise, able and patriotic
leadership of Champ Clark, our party
T-as able to make such favorable
showing of its purposes in the way of
correcting abuses and bringing about
a reduction of the oppressive taxation
1 and discountenaclng the wasteful expenditures
of the public money by
the Republican party that the people
In Congressional elections last fall
gave the Democrats an overwrelming
victory, changing a Republican majority
of forty-flve in the 61st Con\
gress to a Democratic majority of
sixty-five in the 62nd Congress.
| "The Democrats In the House were
2 9 rot 8low to recognize the potential
leadership of Mr. Clark, and when
. Congress met on the 4th of last April
\ be was unanimously nominated by
the Democrats and elected Speaker
of the House of Representatives. The
t Speakership Is a great office?unquestionably
the second greatest office in
; the country. Speaker Clark has more
I -4 than fulfilled the expectations of his
friends.
I. "Whatever hope the Democracy
has for 1912 Is necessarily based on
1 the welldoing of its Represents tivei
In the House in the last Congress end
what they have done and will do in
I the present Congress. Under the leadI
n ship of Mr. Clark the Democrats
have put through the Canadian re
oiproclty bill, which will enlarge the
markets of Canada to American products.
We have also put through the
I House the farmers' free list bill, placHf;
1ng thereon something like one hun

farmers. Following this the Hous<
bill will reduce the oppressive wool
len schedule of the Payne-Aldrlci
' tariff law more than 60 per cent
* meaning an annual saving also o
|| millions of dollars to the Amcrlcai
people. The Democratic programme
Includes a general revision of th<
I tariff.
"No man In Congress or In Amer

In the matter of carrying out th<
Democratic programme. The country
realises this and there li a very larg<

POLICEMAN LIABLE FOR SHOOTING
OF BYSTANDER.
Supreme Court So Roles im the Cose
of * Policeman Who in Making mi
Arrest, ?boc m nam.
A policeman, firing at a man he it
trying to arrest, the ball striking a
bystander, subject* the policeman to
the law, according to a decision handed
down by the Supreme Court Tuesday.
In the case of the State against
Kobert M. Bar wick, writes Chief Justice
Ira B. Jones:
"The defendant in October, 1908,
was policeman for the town of Pine?
wood, in Clarendon County, and on
arrival of the Saturday night train
from Sumter, was opening a way
through the crowd for me lady passengers
when Thos. Singleton, according
to the defendant's version, declared
he would stand back for no damn
man, whereupon defendant seized
Singleton to arrest him for cursing
and refusing to open the way. Singleton
broke loose and ran and the
defendant pursued, firing his pistol
towards him several times.
"The deceased, Sam Bracy, was
standing in line of the firing and
struck by the bullet, which gave him
a mortal wound, of which he died
some days later in a hospital in Sumter,
S. C. The defendant was indicted
for the murder of Bracy and was
convicted of manslaughter with recomendation
of mercy.
"The testimony of the State was to
the effect that the deceased was hit
by a bullet from the pistol of the
defendant, but the defendant testified
to the effect that Singleton, while
running away, or someone In the dlka
woo TMinnfnir ahnt ftt the
A CV/lil/il iiv nun oy
defendant; that defendant did not
shoot until after this firing, and the
suggestion was that deceased may
have been shot by Singleton
Barwick was questioned at his trial
about statements under oath before
the Mayor's Court.
'A statement that Barwick made
there would have had the effect o?
showing that if Singleton shot in
a certain situation he could not have
hit the deceased.
The appeal to the Supreme Court
was upon the question of defendant
giving testimony against him in vio*
latlon of the Constiution.
Going into the law on this point of
giving evidence tending to incriminate
himself, the Supreme Court's
decision points out that when a defendant
voluntarily goes on the stand
he assumes the position of any other
witness.
There were other exceptions as to
witnesses, "One of the witnesses for
the defence," writes the Chief Justice,
"admitted that he may have
said In a joking way without meaning
it that the country was going to
ihe devil if they would convict a
white man for killing a negro"
"The Court charged the Jury: "The
law in annlirable the same to every
man. The law knows no pets, the
law knows no difference between
an Indian, Japanese;, a cltize^i of
this State, an African or a Caucasion
I would not charge you different
law according to the parties
interested, much less could you try
the facts differently, the parties being
of a different race, either Japanese,
Chinese, African or Caucasion. There
is no color line in the law, and there
shall be none under your oath in
the jury box."
The Supreme Court says that this
charge was sound and proper in the
circumstances and could not possible
have prejudiced any ^ight of the
defendant. The judgment of the Cireuit
Court wias affirmed in this hase.*
! fact the party is well off in this respect,
but objection is made to praci
tically every one of them. The only
objection that has been urged to the
nomination of Speaker Clark . for
President is that at some time dur'
ing the last few years a Democratic
' State Convention in Missouri gave out
i ah Intimation that it was at that time
> for the nomination of Ex-Governor
i Polk, of Missouri, for President next
? year. At the time he was given thie
i more or less useless and valueless
endorsement Ex-Governor Folk was a
' supposed or avowed candidate for the
i Uivited States Senate from Missouri
, There were politicians who eliminat
I ed him from the race by making a
"*~,,A <*r\A <n<Toff<r?lta riromtse thai
I .??guo auu I im -
. they would some day support him foi
i President. The public is of the opin.
ion that if any politician in Missou>
ri profited by the agreement witli
. Folk he is so much ahead of the gam*
> but the country as a whole is noi
. found by any such political achem
. ing. Certainly Mr. Clark was not f
> candidate for Senator and did noi
) profit by any agreement between th<
. Democratic candidates for Senator ii
r Missouri two years ago.
, "The Impression Is growing among
f public men that the country Is turn

are becoming active in bis support

Thousands of visitors at Atlantic c
City Tuesday saw Henry N. Atwood,
after fighting heavy winds through* 1
1
out his flight from New York, and r
the third leg of his proposed journey \
from Boston to Washington, by land- ?
lng in his biplane on the beach front. *
During his flight Atwood made three r
landings for srasoline. Atwood said I
that, judging from the amount of
gasoline he had used, he must have
travelled at least 250 miles. He was
In the air more than five hours.
The distance along the coast Is
about 115 miles. "I hope to start
for Washington before ten o'clock in
the morning," he said. "The only
trouble I had was with my gasoline
supply. After I left Governor's Island
I headed along the coast. A
warning whirl of protest from my
engine as I neared Asbury Park told
me the gasoline was low. 1 landed
and took on five gallons.
"When I rose the wind was strong.
So I took a travelling altitude of
about 1,500. When I neared Tucker
my tank became dry again. I borrowed
five gallons from the owner of
an automobile and made a good getaway.
"The wind took me a hard chase.
It had .been steadily rising. I encountered
bums and air bodies that
made the going difficult. To make
matters worse, my gasoline ran out
again. I came down, narrowly missed
disaster when a puff of wind
caught the plane about a hundred
feet from the ground. I was almost
thrown from my side, as the wind got j
under the wings again. When I
struck the ground, I felt the shock,
but found my machine undamaged |
and continued, after taking more gasoline,
and made <a successful landing
here."
Atwood left Governor's Island, in
New York Bay, at 8:49 A. iM., and '
landed at Par Place, Atlantic City,
at 2:30 p. m.
Atwood's appearance created a
sensation, as it was not generally be- 1
lieved that he would attempt his i
flight to the National Capital or that 1
Atlantic City would be on his route.
The Boardwalk was crowded with a
holiday crowd when he hove In sight
and when he alighted he was cheered
by thousands of people. His landing
place was close to the Boardwalk.
His machine was in fine condition
when he finished the flight.
He left Atlantic City for Washington
early Wednesday morning, where
he was received with enthusiasm. He
alighted in the ground immediately
behind the White House. Atwood
used the Washinggton Monument as
a guiding mark, and several dozen
square feet of dazzling white canvas
was placed on the lawn to mark the
landing place. The Comos Club and
other scientific clubs and societies acted
as hosts.

VERY STRANGE CASE
EVER RESTORES MIND OF A
MAN AFTER YEARS.
?
i Delirium He Utters Disjointed Sentences
Which Gere Doctors Their
Only Clue.
".The case ot Benjamin Leeds" may
ecome famous among psychologists,
ays a dispatch from Atlantic City.
It would seem that of a sudden
.eeds' brains, apparently normal neame
a blank. He forgot his iden
ity, he forgot his wife and children,
>f whom he had always taken tender
are; he forgot the past.
Then, after six years, Leeds fell
11 and the fever stimulated his dornant
mind. In his delirium he renembered
dimly and he muttered
vords that gave to the acute sur;eons
who listened to the clue that
vill restore him to his family and
nay bring him back to himself.
In response to a telegram from
hese surgeons Mrs. Leeds went to
Cleveland, Ohio. She said happily
(he will nurse her husband back to
nental and physical health, then
>ring him home.
Leeds, once a well known citizen
lere, retired from business and went
o live at Ocean City about seven
rears ago. One day in the summer
>f 1905 he left home to deposit mon*y
in a banh near there. He did not
eturn. Wide, but vain search was
nade for him. His wife, giving h1m
lp for lost, became a trained nurse
:o support herself and their two chilIren.
Not a word came from him or ol
iim until the message arrived callng
his wife to a hospital in Cleveand.
Her husband had been raker
here ill and with a very high temperiture.
Tossing on his fevered cot
he light of yesterday's sun, which
jeemed to have set, dawned on his
nind again. He uttered disjointed
jentences:
"(My wife, Lydia,?"
"Atlantic City?"
"So long since I have seen them?*
"What have I, Ben Leeds, done?'
"Disgraceful, disgraceful to neglect."
"How they must have suffered."
The surgeons articulated the sen
bences and sent for Mrs. Leeds. *

he was in jail, telling of her love foi
him, according to her testimony giv
en at the trial of the cult leader a
Chicago on rFiday.
"The many kisses I exchanged witl
Mr. See were holy and sinless saluta
tions," Mrs. Bridges testified. "The;
had none of the meaning of the kisi
the world outside of Absolute Lif<
knows. Mr. See is a pure and chast
man. It was not sinful for us t<
kiss. We had the true light. Wi

Tells How Easy it is to Rob.
The New York World says Karl
Von Metz Meyer, a lieutenant in the '
Norwegian army, who came to this
corntry on a three-years furlough to
study banking, was arrested in his
home, No. 185 Columbia Heights,
Brooklyn Friday night on a charge of
burglary. His father is a wealthy
banker at Christlansand, Norway,
with a branch in Munich.
"I am a burglar," cried Meyer, *a
handsome, soldierly looking man of
twenty-four, when arrested. "I am
a .burglar and a conscience stricken
r burglar. I have recently committed
eighteen robberies on Columbia
Heights alone.
"Come with me," continued Meyer,
' "I'll show you where many of the
1 pawn tickets are." He led the detectives
into a room that adjoined
1 his own and turned up the carpet in
a corner. There were twenty-one
tickets, representing jewielry and
silverware valued at $5,000.
"Why did I turn burglar?" Meyer
' went on. "Well I turned burglar
1 when I began to live beyond my
means. I needed money and I got it
: by breaking Into homes. It is an easy
1 thing to break into a Brooklyn home.
1 I never carried a jimmy or a revol^
vflp T HIHn'f tr? ho oniupht with
either in case of arrest. I went to
the rear of houses by climbing over
fences.
For two months ten detectives
from Brooklyn headquarters have
.been looking for Meyer. In their
night vigils they became wefl a<y
qualnted with the handsomely dress jed
young man who lived at No. 185
1 Columbia Heights and they felt sorry
for him when he told them that
he was unable to go to sleep. To the
detectives the man was known as
j "Lieutenant" having informed them
who he was and what he was doing
in this country.
The man was seen almost nightly
r on the streets by the detectives and '
policemen. He could always tell
1 them that a man was better dead 1
3 than a sufferer from insomnia. He
p would enter his own home and next
~ morning a new robbery would be reported.
x Untill the burglary of the house of
Charles S. Pea body, No. 128 Willow
P st., June 19th, there was never so
B much as a suspicion against the Nor0
wegian lieutenant and banking clerk.
0 The Peabody burglary took place in
0 the early morning. iMeyer had galne
ed entrance at the rear, and when all
was quiet he stole out of the front
j. rinnr. One of the things he took was
n a
large silver loving cup which beg
longed to Dudley Peabody, son of
e Charles S.
Haif a block down the street Meyer
, caught sight of a detective in the
_ shadow of a house. While passing a
9 vacant lot he dropped the l-oving cup
over the fence. There it was found
t an hour later by a milkman and re??
turned to the Peabody home.
e "Couldn't sleep again," spoke up
j. Meyer as he addressed the policeman;
e then he passed on. When the loving
[m cup incident was told the policeman
on post recalled having spoken to
Meyer, who walked past the spot
* where the cup was found.
Detectives?lieutenants Tenney and
Ward was assigned to keep a watch
on Meyer. The Norwegian seemed to
know he wae under suspicion. He
y continued his nightly walks but the
robberies ceased. Not one bit of evidence
could the detectives get against
e him and they feared to arrest the
t- man because of his position,
h ' Friday night, however, the two
d men from headquarters went to Meyil
er's room and .burst in upon him,
[- telling him he was under arrest; that
o he was the burglar for whom the pot
lice had been looking for many
d months. After Meyer had completed

l- "I came to this country two years

IB A
m. riu?H
Friday afternoon's Washington
Times publishes a circumstantial story
very damaging to the administration,
telling how the Guggenhelms
were allowed by a secret order
the President, withdrawing the territory
form a forest reservation file
claims to the land around Controller
Bay, Alaska, bottling up the coal
fields so that the syndicate will bo
able to dominate them.
The story, which is said to be made
up from the records of the Interior
department, ds that Last summer a
Guggenheim, agent named Richard
Ryan, came to Washington to induce
the President to open the Controller
Bay land for entry. Ballinger was
then Secretary of the Interior, and
from the files the following note, alleged
to be from Ryan to Ballinger,
is produce#:
"Dear Dick: I went to see the
President the other day about this
Controller Bay affair. The President
asked me whom I represented, I told
him, according to our agreement,
that I represented myself, but that
didn't seem to satisfy him; so I sent
for Charlie Taft and asked him to
tell his brother who I really represented.
The President made no fur^
ther objections to my claim. Yours.
"Dick."
As the Controller Bay claim has
not yet been finally confirmed, this
sensational publication may prevent
Its being patented. A congressional
Inquiry is expected.

HANGED FOR BRUTALi MURDER.
Negro Meets Death on Scaffold for
Killing a Tailor.
Darnel Duncan, a negro, was hanged
in Charleston Friday for the murder
on June 21, 1910, of Max Lubelsky,

the annals of this State.

In this condition. To the last the
negro stoutly maintained his innocence
of all knowledge of the crime
leaving a statement for the newspapers.
The murder of Eubelsky, a King
street tailor, occurred on June 21 of
! last year. He was found in his shop
senseless and lying in a pool of blood.
The only clue left by the murderer,
whose motive was robbery, was a
bloody stick with which the crime
had been committed.
A few weeks later the widow of the
murdered mjan was attacked in her
husband's place of business in a manner
similar to that which resulted
in the death of Lubelsky. Duncan
was sezlcd outside the store and recognized
by a neighbor as the man
In whose hands he hiad seen the stick
with which the tailor had been killed
shortly before the murder took
place.
The negro was tried and convicted
of the crime. His case was carried
to the State supreme court, which
tribunal declined to interfere with
the verdict. Gov. Blease also declined
to interfere.
