PAID FOR SEAT
Stepb ! Avails Using Over One
Banned Tbeosand Dollars
IN PRIMARY FLECTION
\
In Wliich He Was Nominated to the
f United States Senate as Senator
?
. .from Wisconsin, Yet He Swears He
Does Not Know How the Money
Was Si?ent.
On the witness stand at Milwaukee,
Wis., before the senatorial inves*'
gating coniniitte for three hours l
answer charges that bribery and c<i
rupt use of money had contribute
to hie election. United States Senatt '
Isaac Stephenson Monday swore that
although he spent $107,793 In his
campaign, he had little knowledge
nfi to Just how it was expended, except
that it was not used in violation
of the law.
The details, ho said, he had left to
his campaign managers. As an instance
of his ignorance of just where
the money went he cited an item of
$1 1,000 for postage.
"Now," declared Senator Stephenson,
"1 am president of more than a
dozen active industries in this State,
and I have in my employe more than
3,000 men, some of whom have been
wiith me for 50 years. In them I
have every confidence.
"I do nvt pay any attention to the
details of these industries. Just so,
when my campaign for nomination
by the primaries in 1908 came up. I
could not lay awake nights, trying to
figure how the postage was used. I ,
gave luiiif; of money to my managers,
and told them to carry on a vigoroi
campaign and do everything to ele
me, except that they must keep witl
in the law. I cautioned them not I
violate the law in any particular. ?
far as I know, they obeyed me."
Citing proportionately large expenditure?
for advertising, 'buttons, lithgrapha,
advertiaing in newspapers and
traveling expenses, the witness testified,
he frequently asked where so
much money was going, but on being
told it was a close fight, and the State
had to be systematically canvassed to
elect him, he questioned the matter
rtrt fiir+hAr
Two points, as being the position
of the ''defense" in the inquiry which
ii being conducted by a sub-committee
of the senate committee on privileges
and elections, were made known
by Charles E. Littlefield, counsel for
Mr. Stephenson?one was that the
committee had no authority to investigate
the primary campaign of 1908
at which Mr. Stephenson was nominated
;but must confine itself to questioning
whether the senator actually
expended money for his election by
the State legislature in 1908.
He asserted that all the money was
spent in the nomination and not a
dollar went to the election. Anoth?*'
declaration was that Mr. Stephens< 1
was elected by the legislature wh(
both houses voted separately Jauna*
26, 1909, and that the subseque-*
election by the legislation jointly o?
March 4, 1 909, when three Democratic
members absented themselves;
and so gave Mr. Stephenson a ma- j
jority was not necessary. I
The committee announced that at
present it would not confine itself to
any of the limitations Mr. Stephenson
declared he had given money
for campaign purposes to men who
afterward became candidates for the
legislature and some of them were
elected, but he was not aware of their
candidacy when he gave them money.
"The record shows that you paid
to your managers one day $10,000
and a short time afterward gave them
$15,000 more," said Senator W. B.
Heyburn, chairman. Didn't you ever
ask them what they were doing with
all that money?".
"No, only in a general way."
In October, 1908, more than a
month after the election, you gave
ono of your managers several thousand
dollars. Did you inquire as to
what he wanted it for?"
"No. 1 supposed it was for some
bill. They did not always present
bills promptly. In the same way, I
gave J. Earl Morgan, my son-in-law,
$2,500 for compalgn expenses."
"Didn't you pay three Democratic
members or any one for absenting
themselves from the legislature on
March 4, 1 909, so that you could have
a majority."
"No. I never knew of any member
having absented himself except
as I read it in the newspapers."
E. A. Edmunds, another election
manager, testified he knew of no
money having been illegally used in
I Mr. Stephenson's election. The bill
for advertising, he said, amounted to
1 $40,000. A check of 2, 500 had been
paid to J. W. Stone, State game warden,
on Mr. Stephenson's instructions,
he declared, but he did not
know to what use the money was put.
Ir previous legislative investigatior~
it was brought out that Stone distf
buted money to deputy wardens.
The committee will resume tl
hearings tomorrow when some <
Senator Stephenson's campaign workers
will be examined

I Unless the trusts succeed in pulling
Taft through next year, he will

SCHLEY DIES SUDtMY
HERO OF SANTIAGO STRICKEN IN
NEW YORK STREET.
He Died Unrecognized by Anyone in
the Ijnrge Crowd That Rushed to
His Aid.
Unrecognized by a single person in
the curious throng that rushed to
his aid, Hear Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley, U. S. N., retired, fell dead
jn front of the Berkeley lyceum on
west Forty-fourth street, New York,
r?n Mnndav afternoon. The death of
this notable figure in the naval history
of the nation was for the moment
that of an unknown man in a
strange crowd.
The Admiral's sudden death is attributed
to cerebral hemorrhage
which attacked him shortly after he,
with Mrs. Schley reached New
York that morning from a visit to
Mount Kisco and had called at the
New York Yacht club for his mail.
As the Amdiral was walking
through west Forty-fourth street, a.
passerby who saw him stagger grasped
his way quickly through the crowd
Despite the strangers service, howover,
the admiral fell helpless to
the street and a physician who presshis
way quickly through the crowd
pronounced him dead.
There was a gash over his right
eye where his forehead had struck
the sidewalk. A slight fracture of
the frontal bone had ensued, but
surgeons who examined the body expressed
disbelief that this Injury in
any way resulted in his death.
His identity was established by
letters and papers found in his pockets
and from an inscription in his
gold watch which had been presented
to the admiral by his native State
of Maryland "for his heroism and
memorable service in rescuing Liout.
A. W. Greely, U. S. A., and six romrades
from death at Cape Sabine in
the artic region on June 2 2,1 884."
The spot where Admiral Schley
died is in the very heart of New
York's club district and members of
these organizations were thickly
clustered around and soon established
the identification of the famous
commander who figured so prominently
in the naval engagement of
1898 at Santiago.
The body was taken to the nearest
police station. After the usual formalities
permission was given for the
removal of the body to the Ho-tel Algonquin,
where Admiral Schley made
his home while in the city. As the
body was bourne forth to the waiting
conveyance the throng about the ,
station stood with bared neaas.
Bluejackets from the Brooklyn
navy yard who had been summoned
furnished an escort, their commander
being C. M. Devalen, a recruiting
officer, who was with Admiral Schley
on the cruiser Brooklyn at the bat- ,
tie of Santiago. ,
One of the admiral's sons, Dr. (
Winfleld Scott Schley, Jr., reached j
the scene before the body was re- i
moved. A message conveying the l
sad news to the admiral's other son,
Capt. T. F. Schley, at Fort Logan,
Denver, Col., was dispatched. i
Admiral Schley was born in Frederick
county, Maryland, in 183 9. After
graduating from Annapolis in i
18G0 and serving during the War of
Secession in minor capacities, he was ,
commissioned in 18G6 as lieutenant
commander. ,
During the Spanish American war
Schley, in the absence of 'Sampson, j
fought the Spanish fleet, which at- ,
tempted to escape from Santiago ,
harbor and destroyed it with his
Meet of half a dozen ships.
CHOKES MAD DOG TO DEATH.
Saved Some School Children Hut He
Was lindly Ilitten.
M Atlantic City, fsT. J., Daniel
Bond, twenty-four, chocked a mad
dog to death with his hare hands
Wednesday afternoon. He was
severely bitten about the arms and
wrists and was taken to the City
Hospital, where phyeicans quickly
cauterized his wounds and then put
him in the observation ward to
make a fight for his life should hydrophobia
develop. Bond, walking
down Atlantic avenue, saw a big
mongrel, frothing at the mouth,
dash toward a crowd of school children.
He started in pursuit. The
dog snapped at him and leaped for
lUs throat. Bond caught the beast
by the neck as it leaped. In a furious
battle of several minutes the
man was the victor, hut not until he
had been severely bitten.
HUSHING COTTON TO KUKOPK
+.? ,
Savannah Ships Five Million Dollars
Worth One Day.
Statements that the foreign demand
for cotton was of a mere "hand
to mouth" character were effectively
refuted by the enormous foreign
exports from Savannah one day recently.
The official reports showed
that the day's exports 34,204 went
to Great Britain, 3 0,500 to France,
46,680 to the continent and 4,372
| otherwise. The foreign exports
were 91,3 84 bales, representing a
value of over $5,000,000. It Is believed
that this is the largest amount
ever exported from any port
in one day. ,
WILL TRY NEW PLAN
PLANTATION NEAR COLUMBIA TO
BE LIKELY USED.
The Government to Conduct Some
Important Demonstrations in Bal?
ing and Marketing Cotton.
A dispatch from Washington says
cotton by an improvement in the
an effort to secure higher prices for
methods of handling, grading and
marketing the crop is to be made by
the government this year in co-operation
with poominent cotton growers.
The plan is designed to bring to,
the cotton raisers the full benefit of
uie increase in vuiue mui can ue Hecured
by a careful grading of the
crop to correspond with the new government
standards. These standards
have been in the hands of the
cotton exchanges for some time and
are recognized as official standards
of the trade.
Officials of the agriculture departperts
will use the most approved
methods of grading, handling, bailing
and selling and will make accurate
returns on each operation for
the benefit of the cotton growers.
It is believed that if the cotton
raisers can be trained to grade the
crop carefully in its Initial handling,
its value can be greatly increased by
putting the cotton into grades that
command higher prices. Efforts
are being made to induce farmers'
associations and local bodies to purchase
sets of the government's standards
for the use in preparing the
cotton for the market.
The price of the standards has
been reduced from $3 5 to $3 0 for
the benefit of farmers' associations
and the department is recomending
that a "half series" be purchased
which will give farmers a facility to
grade their cotton. It is believed
cotton raisers of the south will benenefit
to the extent of millions of dolfit
to the extent of millions of dolling

IGNORANT OF ITS MEANING.
Ate Big Dinners ond CouM I>o No
Justice to the Spread.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Greenville Daily Piedmont says an
amusing incident occurred in connection
with the entertainmet of the
International Blacksmith's Union
there Tuesday.
Many of the brawny eons of Vulcan
come from the cold provinces of
Canada and the Northwest. Out
there people have never heard of the
word "barbecue." Many of the delegates
didn't know, and didn't ask.
They simply took for granted that
It was some pleasant form of outdoor
entertainment, and in order to
enjoy it fully?it was set for 2
'clock Tuesday?they fortified themselves
with good heavy dinners at
their respective hotels. When they
got out to the woods and learned that
a barbecue was something to eat
their distress was pitiable. When
the odor of the meats turned and
roasted in their own juice above the
burning coals assailed their nostrils
their plight was still sadder.
It u-fls fmnnirh tn nrovoke tears
find laughter. Nor was it a reflection
in any sense upon the learning
and intelligence of the visitors for
"barbecue" was simply a "down
south" word they had never happened
to meet before. One of the gentlemen
confessed afterward that he
thought it was a tournament, and
another had an idea it was something
like a merry-go- round.

?
Samuel lirown of Kings tree Found
Dead in His Ked.
At Kingstree on Sunday night Samuel
Brown, a^young man of about 25
years, ended his life by taking a bottle
of morplfine. Ho was found dead
in his bed Monday morning. Sunday
he went to his room as usual, and
nothing in his conduct indicated inai
he had even considered taking of life,
but Monday morning his absence
from work excited the interest of his
friends and relatives, and on forcing
the door to his bedroom it was discovered
that ho had been dead several
hours. Notes of farewell, presumably
written just before he took
the fatal drug, to his mother, Mrs.
Richard Brown, and to his brother,
John Brown who was in business at
Kingstree, were found beside him.
To his mother he wrote that he was
sorry to leave her, but that she must
not worry about him, and to his
brother, John, he wrote that ho regretted
he could not stay to help
him through the busy season.
