Adjourned for the I^ack of Quormm.
backing a quorum, the House adjourned
Thursday after a 50-minut?
session until Friday at 10 o'clock.
Mr. Miller of Kichland made the
. j.nt of order that a quorum was not
pit sent, during a heated debate 011
\ av her a message from the governor
>(m , be printed in the journal or
referred to the committee 011 education
101 a report. The roll was called
and \ G members answered "Here".
A quorum of the House is G3 members.
In the absence of .T. S. Wilson, the
sorgeant-at-arms, Calhoun Mays of
Mdgelield was appointed, with W. P.
Tillinghast of Colum,bia, as his constable.
The Houso instructed them
to require the attendance of the absent
members, and then adjourned
at 2:55 p. m.
The House convened at 2:07 p. m.
A special message was received from
the governor in regard to the magistrates'
hill. Another special message
from the governor was read which referred
to the Peabody fund investigation
and said that in the report signpiH
h* thfi m*.1oHtv of the members of
the special committee the whitewash
brush had been used. This report
was signed by Senators Young arid
Weston and Representatives Welch
and Nicholson.
'Mr. Ashley of Anderson, a member
of the committee who mad? a separate
report on the Peabody fund investigation,
moved that the governor's
message be received as information
and printed in the journal
To this motion Mr. Evans of
Marlboro objected strenuously. He
declared that the special message of
the governor reflected on the members
of the House who had signed
the majority report of the committee.
"I am unwilling to listen to any
charge of dereliction in the duty preferred
aga/inst any committee appointed
by this House," said Mr. Evans.
As a substitute for Mr. Ashley's
motion, the member from Marlboro
moved that the special Peabody fund

on education for a report.
A sharp colloquy between Mr.
Ashley and Mr. Evans ensued.
"Didn't the committee say the governor
was mistaken?" asked Mr.
Ashley, in reference to the report of
the majority 011 the Peabody investigation.
"I can not believe that the people
of South Carolina elected 124 fools]
to represent them in this House and
one wise man to represent them as
governor," answered 'Mr. Evans.
Mr. Wyclie of Newberry said that
the whole matter was "much ado
about nothing," that the testimony of
the witnesses at the investigation had
been printed and that any one could
form their own conclusions from it.
He said, though, that he had no objection
to referring the message to
the committee 011 education.
"I am willing to stay here another
month rather than allow anything
to be printed in the journal which
reficcts upon a committee from this
House, which has done its duty as it
saw it," declared Mr. Evans.
The pending question being wheth- j
er the House would refer the governor's
special message to a commit-1
tee or print it, Mr. Miller, at 2:40 p.
m.. raised the point of no quorum.
The roll was called and the following
members answered to their
names:
Speaker Smith, Addy, J. \Vr. Ashley,
M. J. Ashley, Barnwell, Belser,
Bethea, Bowers, Brice, Busbee,

After a sergeant-at-arms and a
constable had been appointed to require
the attendance of the absentees,
the House adjourned until 10
a. m. Friday.
When the senate reconvened
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock with
about a dozen senators in their seats
threo messages were received from
the governor. Two of these, one
having to do with the magistrates'bill
and the other with the Mitchel investigation,
wore received as information
and ordered printed in the
journal. The third was considered
In executive session.
Senator Young, as a member of the
Mitchell investigating committee, resented
what the governor had to say
in his message in this connection.
"I dare the governor, or any other
man in South Carolina, to put his
hand on any item in the committee's
report showing that Dr. Mitchell or
any member of the board of trustees

PRAISE WILSON HIGHLY
PAY TRIBUTE TO LOFTY TONE OF
IUS ADDRESS
?
But Soem to Think He May Not
he Able to Translate His Idealism
Into Ideas.
While paying a tribute of admiration
to the earnest and lofty tone of
President Woodrovv Wilson's address
the London morning papers express
doubt that he will succeed in translating
it into practical politics.
The Daily Telegraph says: "President
Wilson has plucked the string
of pure idealism whose sound may be
pleasant in the ears of his countrymen.
But ff congress is to join in the
work of reform it will probably be in
In i?Tr??ist fillip m n VPiiion tfi ill
the nation itself rather than in defat
9:30 o'clock that the case would
proceed. A number of attorneys
were in court to appear for the State
and defense. With R. L. Gunter, solicitor,
were associated R. H. Welch
of Columbia, B. W. Miley and J. II.
Kirk land of Bamberg. Maytield &.
Free of Bamberg and P. T. Hildebrand
of Orangeburg, solicitor of the
First judicial circuit, represented the
defense.
One hour and thirty minutes was
consumed in the drawing of the jury.
The venire was exhausted and an
extra veniro summoned. The first of
the extra veniremen to be presented
to the bar was accepted and the panel
was completed as follows: J. D.
Saiulifer, G. W. Bessinger, J. G. Kinsey,
A. PI. Patrick, J. A. Gillam, II.
S. Kearse, C. C. Elzey, J. F. Staley, P.
E. Jennings, J. 'B. Brickie, A. R.
Dempsey, A. H. Kirsch.
The defense o.bjected peremptorily
to eight jurors and the State to five.
Nine jurors were excused by the
court on account of relationship with
those concerned in the case, and
three when they announced that they
had expressed an opinion in regard
erence to the desires expressed by
the president. Whatever happens,
i however, his presidental term is cer
tain to be a remarkable and vivid
period in the modern development of
the United States."
The 'Morning Post says: "It remains
to be seen whether President
Wilson is a great statesman. But at
least it may be said that his address
is no less remarkable because not
pugnacious. It strikes a new note in
American policies, which over here is
called social reform."
The Graphic says: "Every thoughtful
man will wish the president good
luck. Echoes of his noble address
will bring to this old world of ours,
in its mad pursuit, intentional uncharitableness
and bloated schemes
of military holocaust, a welcome message
of better things and manlier
striving."
"The United States must be heartily
congratulated upon having such a
true Democrat and such a fearless
statesman at its head," says The
Daily Chronicle, "and when some' of
the greatest nations seemed to be
making a moGkery of humanity his
clarion call should echo far beyond
the American shores."
The Daily News says : "President
Wilson has set up a fine ideal and,
like a brave and upright man, has delivered
himself into the hands of the
judges by giving them a measure by
which to test his loyalty to his country
and his fitness to undertake it."
The Express describes Mr. Wilson's
address as that of an academic professor
called upon to deal with practical
politics, full of noble sound, but
difficult to tell what it may signify.
The Daily Mail thinks the president's
address conveys a somewhat
foo black impression of modern
American life and conditions. "It
deals chiefly in generalities," says
the paper, "and makes no very specific
proposals. But one fact appears
clearly?that the era of free competition
is ended in America and the day
of government control of industry is
at hand."
Referring to the difficult task before
President Wilson The Mail expresses
the fear that foreign compli
(rations, such as Mexico, may hinder
internal reforms.

AFTER LONG SEIBE

GREEK ARMY WINS BIG VICTOR)
OVER TURKS
CITY OF JANINA FALLS
Thirty-two Thousand Prisoners Taken
When Turkisli Stronghold, Valiantly
Defended for Months, Finally
Surrenders after Continuous liom*
bardment of Two Days and Night.
The Turkish fortress of Janina,
key to the possession of Epirus Province,
with its garrison of 32,000 men,
surrendered to the Greek army
Thursday after a defence which
stands out as one of the most brilliant
episodes of the Balkan war.
The surrender was preceded by a
tierce bombardment continuing two
uays and nights. Every available
gun, including heavy Howitzers lent
by the Servian artillery, was brought
to bear o nthe forts defending the beleagured
city.
Thirty thousand shells were fired
by the Greek guns during the first
day's cannonade. Gradually the
Turkish batteries at Bizani, Monaliair,
Sakni and elsewhere were silenced.
The Greek commanders, ,by a feint,
led the Turks to believe that their
attack would be made from the right.
As soon as the attention of the defenders
had been districted the
Greeks hurled large bodies of Infantry
on to the Turkish left. The Ottoman
troops utterly surprised, fell
back in disorder.
Batteries 011 the heights of iBizanl,
the mainstay of the defence, had been
unable to stand the pelting of the
shells and were reduced to complete
silence at 11 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
The Greeks pushed their forward
movement during the afternoon and
occupied the Turkish batteries on the
Sakni and Elsas hills, capturing all
the guns and 110 artillerymen. Then
tho n roolf battalions Ernrluallv de
ployed onto the plain in front of the
city itself.
The Turkish flight Immediately became
general. Whole detachments
succumbed to panic and joined in a
mad race into the city. The Greek
troops followed almost to the walls.
With all the defending batteries in
the hands of the Greeks and the
Hellenic soldiers at the gates of Janina,
Essad Pasha, Turkish commander,
at six o'clock Thursday morning
sent messengers to Crown Prince
Constantine, of Greece, announcing
the surrender of the city and all the
troops under its command.
The fall of Janina was announced
by the Crown Prince to the Greek
war office. Wild enthusiasm reigned
in the streets of Athens on announcement
of the news. All houses were
decorated with flags. Excited people
thronged the thoroughfares singing
the Greek national anthem.
The Greek advance on Janina began
late in October. The Turks retired
rapidly before their opponents
and operations around the fortress
opened about the beginning of December.
The attack continued with
varying success even during that period
of the armistice to which the
Greeks never rormany agrtseu.
Several of the outlying forts fell
before the Greek assaults and the attack
on the principal fortifications
was gradually pressed home.
It was not known until Thursday
morning how many Turkish troops
were in the city, estimates of them
i varying from 1 8,000 to 80,000 men.
The populations numbered 2 2,000,
mostly Greeks.
The fortifications which at one
time were considered strong were antiquated
and could not resist modern
cannon. Provisions throughout the
siege had been plentiful, as Janina is
a center of the grain trade.
Premier Venizelos announced the
victory in the Chamber of Deputies.
All leaders of the opposition spoke,
congratulating the Crown Prince and
his mary on the brilliant achievements.
A telegram was dispatched to the
Crown Prince in behalf of the Government
by the chamber expressive
of the gratitude of the nation.
At the close of the sitting the mem
bcrs of the Cabinet and the Deputies,
followed by cheering crowds, marched
to the Cathedral, where a thanksgiving
service was held.

Maj. Cardenas Promoted.
A dispatch from Mexico says Maj,
Cardenas, who was in charge of the
escort of Francisco 'Madero and Jose
Pino Saurez on the day they were
killed, was Tuesday promoted from
the rural guard to the same rank in
the reeular army.
Major Cardenas, who was in command
of the escort that assassinated
Madero and Saurez in Mexico City,
has been promoted by Huerta. Thii
is the Mexican way of punishing murderers
of helpleee prisoners.

TWO SMALL ROYS HURT.
Playing With Dynamite Cap When It
Was Exploded.
Two small boys, Robert Bowers
and Langley Street, of Chester, sons,
respectively, of Ellis Bowers, a well
known Lancaster contractor and
builder, and Joseph Langley, a section
railroad, were badly injured
Tuesday afternoon by the explosion
of a dynamite cap with which they
were nlaving. The boys found this
cap somewhere near the depot, and
thinking to have some fun they applied
a match to it. The explosion
took place sooner than the youtns expected,
and before they could get
away. Bowers' right arm and side
were terribly lacerated and otherwise
wounded, while his companion, tho'
not so seriously hurt, will bo in bed
everal days from the effects of his
injuries.

SIXTY-SIX PERSONS DROWN.
German Cruiser Rams and Sinks a
Torpedo Iloat.
Sixty-six men of tho crew of the
German torpedo boat S-17 8 were
drowned when the little vessel was
rammed by tho cruiser Yorck in the
North Sea Wednesday. Among the
dead are the commander of the torpedo
boat, Ldeut. Koch, and his first
officer. The surgeon and engineer
and fifteen men of the cre\^ were
saved. The torpedo boat sank immediately.
The S-178 with other destroyers
was steaming from drill
grounds. They attempted to dash
through Intervals in a column of re-,
turning warships. The S-178 was cut
in half, its commander having inaccurately
judged distances. Only 17
survivors were picked up by rescue
boats sent from the fleet.
