I OUTLOOK BRIGHT!
Bat Brjan Warns Denscrats Against
Orer Ctifideoce or Sloth
I MORGAN BACKS TRUSTS
Therefore, Says the Great Commoner,
Party Should Steer Clear of Dictation
From Wall Street as Dictator
of Its Next Presidential Ticket If
It Wants to Win.
That the outlook is bright for (he
Democratic party, but that the Demo<
crats should leave nothing undone
which may inure to the advantage of
the party was William Jennings Bryan's
summing-up of tho political situation
when, askei Sunday night
what ho thought of conditions in
America by a reporter of The State.
Mr. Bryan, who was in Columbia to
deliver a lecture under the auspices
of the Y. 'M. C. A., talked freely of
his views, especially with regard to J
the issues of the next: campaign. The
tariff, Mr. Bryan said, would occupy
a prominent place in the campaign,
' but," he continued, "the Democratic
party can not ignore the fact that
back of the tariff, back of tho trusts
and back of tho railroads stands the
Wall street oligarchy, as heartless as
a band of pirates and as despotic as
the czar or the sultan ever were."
Asked the direct question as to
what was his view of the present
political situation, Mr. Bryan responded
:
"Tho political situation Is a very
difficult thing to analyze in a few
words. It., differs somewhat in dif
ferent sections. Generally speaking,
the outlook seems bright, for our
party, and yet it is not wise to overestimate
our chances; for that might
lead us to leave undone some things
that, might prove to have been necessary.
In the East last fall's balloting
showed a receding of the tide of
1010. That means that we should
he prepared to fight for every inch
01' the field.
"Congress is in session, and if
many things are left undone that
should he done the chances of the
Democratic party will be lessened.
The Democratic house has many good
acts to its credit, hut if congress
should adjourn without submitting
the amendment for popular election
of senators, the Democrats will have
hard work to explain why.
"Take the tariff question. If the
president should consent to some material
reductions and the Democrats
should contend for greater reductions
than they will be able to secure they
will appear to the country to be
more anxious to make an issue than
to secure such relief as is possible,
whereas if, after contending for what
they want, tlicy accept what they can
get, they will lessen the acuteness of
the tariff issue to the extent of the
reductions made.
"As to the trust question, something
must he done. The supreme
court decisions have created an issue
that the Democrats must meet. If
they rebuke the cjurt by restoring
the law they will bo accuse 1 of disrespect
for the court, and if they
do not they will be guilty of contempt
of the public. If they carry
out the anti-trust plank of the Democratic
platform they will make the
trust magnates mad, and if they do
not they will make the people hot.
"There is demand for an investigation
of the Money trust. Some of
our Eastern Democrats say that an
Investigation will create a panic in
Wall street, while other Democrats
say that, if there is not an investigation
there will be a panic among
the voters.
"These are some of the difficult j
questions that our party has to meet,
and they make 't difficult t3 predict
with any certainty as to the results
of the campaign. A million votes
may be changed by the action of
eongress and a million more by the
action or imp Democratic national
convention. Tt. cost ns 1,250,000
vet ca to com prom tse with Wall street
iu 1 904, and as the progressive sentiment.
is much stronger now than it
was then, it might cost us more than
that to compromise now.
"Will you say what you now regard
as the principal issue for the
next campaign?"
"The tariff question is the one that
is the most talked about, and I have
no doubt It will occupy a prominent
place in the campaign, but tlie Democratic
party can not ignore the fact
that back of t.ho tariff, back of the
trusts and back of the railroads
stands the sireet oligarchy, as
heartless as a hand of pirates and
as despotic as ^he czar or the sultan
ever wore. And that is why I am
rot willing that T. Piorpont Morgan
out tne Democratic canuiaato."

STARTED ^JVEKAL STKUOTIVE
FIRES IN OHARLEa
1
Wlien Arrested lie Makes Full and
Startling Confession of Many Acts
of Incendiaryism in the City. <
The News and Courier of Friday
tells of the doings of a young firebug
in Charleston. Arrested Thursday
morning.at the burning of the 1
Charleston Fibre Company's plant,
al the west end c;' Spring street,
Marion Burdell. a .young white man,
who has been watched for weeks by
Pinkerton detectives, confessed some 1
hours later to many acts of incendiarism,
among these being the starting
of the big Meeting street fire of
July 8, 1910, in which six large
stores in the heart of the wholesale
|
district was practically destroyed
with a loss of over $215,000.
Among other fires which Burdell
confessed to having started were the
Leland 'Moore Paint Store fire on
March 17, 190S, which occasioned a!"
loss of $23,000; the Baseball Park '
fire of December of last year; the
two recent fires at Bethel Sundayschool,
and the Union Cotron Press
box car fire of December, 1911, in
which property valued at nearly half
a million dollais was imperilled. *
Purdell gave no reason for any of
his incendiary acts.
The News and 'Courier says when
an alarm of fire was rung la Thursday
morning at 9: <11 o'clock, Chief
of Police Cantwell hastened to jump f
into tlio police automobile and sped
t"> the west end of Spring street,
whence came the. call. He arrived
there just in time to learn that Pinkerton
Detective O. S Holler, of Philadelphia,
with Pinkerton Detective "
Wright, had been shadowing Burdell ^
for nearly three weeks, that he had
just instructed Policeman Johnson
t'\ n rroet "Rnrdpll nil the p.lmree Of
having set fire to the Charleston Fibre
Company's planr.
Private Johnson t.nen came lip with "
his man, and Chief Cantwell was informed
that several persons had seen
Burdell enter the premises of the
fibre factory a few minutes before
the fire broke out. Chief Cantwell
personally took charge of the case
and had Burdell hustled away to the "
police station. There the young man
was detained until Chief Behrens arr'ved
and preferred charges against
him of setting fiie to the Spring
street building.
Later in thc'aPernoon, after being
questioned and confronted with testi- mony
which had been gathered by \
the police department and the two
Pinkerton detectives, who were employed
by the board of firemasters,
Burdell, in the presence of Chief of
Police Cantwell, Chief of Detectives
Tlogan and Pinkerton Detectives
Roller and Wright, confessed fully
and in startling de'ail to a series of fives
which he admitted having set 1
there during the past two years.
At first it appeared that he would
continue to profess his innocence, but
he finally decided to confess. The
tires which ho confessed to having
set include the Bailey-Lobby fire, the
largest in this city in years. It
started in the rear of the Bailey-Leb- -
by building at 213 Meeting street, <
tlie alarm being sent in by telephone
at G: HT5 P. M., July S, 1910. It extended
to 215 Meeting street, the
Trouch store, destroying the buildings;
to T. A. Wilour & Sons, 211
Meeting street, destroying the building;
nlso to 209, 20" and 205 Meeting
street, comprising the Thomlinscn
and Marshall-Westcoat stores,
considerably damaging the buildings,
occasioning a total loss of $215,54
9.50. The fire extended over eighteen
hours, the actual value of the
property endangered being $647,4 81, I
the Charleston JYoiel and the big
Louis Cohen department store being
imperilled.
Other fires which Purdell con- ,
fessed to starting include;
A portion of his own premises, at ,
SO Church street, on November 2, ,
1910, the loss being only $2.
The Leland-Moore fire, on (March
1 7, 1908, tho lo-.s Icing about $23,000.
Tho Baseball Tark fire, December,
1911.
The Bethel Church fires, December,
1911, and January, 1912.
Union Cotton Press box car fire,
December, 1911, at which property
valued at nearly half a million dol
.Ml _ J
lars was imperiiiea.
Ho confessed to sending in tho following
false alarms:
From Box 513, 0:20 P. M., December
7, 1911.
From Box 614, 10:47 P. M., December
11, 1911.
From Box 024, December 2S, 1911.
A detail of interest in connection
with these fires Is that Burdell
worked for tho Bniley-Debby Company
at the time no set tho fire and
is said to havo woiked for tho Behind
Moore Company when that fire
was set.

TRAIN HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Kiiginc Lost Wheel While Running
at .Honorific ?>pcc<i.
The afternoon train on the SoutliDin
Railway going from Augusta to
I >ranch vilie narrow)\ escaped a serious
accident on Sunday. Hetween
iho stations of Blackville ana Denmurk
one of the driving wheels of
the engine fell off while the train
was running at average speed. Forti
nately it was thrown clear of tho
track, and the prompt action of tho
engineer in putting on tho brakes
brought the train to a stop with the
engine still on tlie tracks.
The driving rod was badly twisted
and other parts of the engine damaged.
The conductor walked several
miles to a telephone, and after several
hours a train was sent from
Branchville. The injured engine and
its train was pushed back to the
siding at Lees, and tho passengers
transferred. Tho train reached
Branchville about seven hours late.
The coolness and piesonce of mind
o * tho engineer prevented a most
serious accident.
The passengers and train crew
were put to considerable inconvenience
by the accident, which, of

OVER THREE THOUSAND DISAP.
PEAR IN NEW YORK.
Hundreds of Young Women Drop
From Vric\vf and a Mujoritj ol
Them Never Return.
During the last year the New York
city police have been called to the aid
of families from which some member
disappeared exactly 3,500 times, and
during this time approxifately 1,000
women, most of l.Lem young girls
ranging in age from 14 to 2 0 years,

one-half the number of persona thai
actually disappear. Hesitancy on the
part of relative causes them to fail
to call upon the public authorities
Only one-third request that tho cases
be made public.
"During 1911," said one official,
"we were confronted with hundreds
of cases similar in every degree tc
that of Dorothy Arnold. Many othei
cases proved as baffling as hers. The
I young girls left absolutely no t**acc
behind. They mad9 no preparations
for departure, and few have since
been heard from. We succeeded ir
locating hundreds of women and
young girls who left their usual surroundings,
but in every one ot these
cases there was some clew on whicli
the detectives in the Bureau of Missing
Persons could work.
"The principal reason why girls
leave home, we have learnel, Is because
of a guiding hand that is tor
severe. Parents should be more lenient.
in their methods of restraint.
"The next reason why the younj
woman disappears ?5 because she seej
such abject poverty in her own home
