f ASSAIL THE TRUSTS IH?UGNS JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER'S MOTIVES ?.? MAKES BITTER SPEECH j ? Bays the Kflfort to Incorporate the j i Rockefeller Foundation Is a Proposal to Farm Out to Him and 1 Associates the Right to Educate the People on Tainted Money. Efforts in congress to Incorporate the $100,000,000 Rockefeller Foundation were scored Monday by Senator Works who declared them a "pro posal to 'farm out' to John 1). Rockefeller and his associates the right and power to educates the people of tho country with money accumulated by criminal means." Senator Works' statement was made in connection with a speech ho delivered in tho Senate Monday on trusts and combination, the existence of which ho blamed the high protective tariff policy. "The extent to which this may be carried out ia practically unlimited. The corporations and institutions of learning which may bo established throughout tho country in tho hands of people who will be subservient to to tho interests and views of Mr. Rockefeller and his associates are without number of limitation," said tho senator. We do not want our children to bo taught the ways nor tho methods of John D. Rockefeller or his kind, nor to bo generous with ill-gotten gains, gold that should blister the lingers of the man who has accumulated it by extortion, oppression, and crime, and is now attempting to rid himself of it by giving it away, nor to become the receivers of stolen goods in the name and under the guise of charity." The continued existence of trusts and monopolies, the senator said, was due to the Inadequacy of the Sherman anti-trust law which he declared should be so amended that specific restraints of trade shall bo unlawful with suitable punishment for those who violate the law. While he was not in favor of a high protective tariff which fostered capitalistic combination, he said ho would bo ia favor of an effort to protect the wage earner in his earnings and that ha believed it would be "an excellent tl ing to harmonize the tariff and WArfgeB". "The Interstate Commerce Commission," continued the senator, "should be allowed to determine whether fair wages are being paid by any concern; and if not, to compel the employer employing foreign laborers and paying European wages to pay the same tariff on its manufactured goods that are enforced against foreign importations until its wages are increased to a fair scale for American workmen. If a higher tariff did in fact protect the wage earner I would cheerfully stand for its continuance, even at the expense of higher prices to the consumer. The evident purpose of the so-oalled tariff experts is, so far a* progress has been made, to deprive the farmers, who are themselves laboring men and wago earners in most cases, of all protection and preserve it to the trust and millionaire manufacturers and business men can compete with tho world and make profits. They can and do sell their goods cheaper than at home. With the farmer, in many cases, it is different. "The wage earner must be protect od in his earnings and reasonable hours of labor, tho consumer in reasonable prices,, and the whole people must be protected in their independence and liberty. Equality of all men must bo made a reality and not a theory. If tho Democratic party can and will accomplish these results, demanded by the people, it may live and maintain Itself in power. If it does not, its reign will be brief. If neither of the old parties can or will restore the government to the people as our forefathers handed it down, then a new party will be raised up that will do the people's will. It will be a party of the people's own making, founded on justice, fair dealing, and disinterested patriotism. I am ready to give the Democratic party a fair trial. I am willing to wait and see and to lend my aid to that r*rty or any other to bring about just and beneflcient laws through and by which the whole people may be brought into their own and their just rights fostered and protected." < liaby Swallowed a Nail.

"It would bo not at all surprising if Japan landed troops In California J Inside of thirty days or six weeks," doolarpd a nrniiiinpnt Democratic. Benator Monday when he heard that the California sonate had "railroaded" a speedy passago the anti-alion land bill. The senator who gave voice to this alarming statement is in no sense pessimist, nor is he 0110 of those who condemn the attitude of the Californians toward the Japanese. Ho is a strong states-rlghter and believes that California has tho right to deal with the question as it sees fit. "Japan could easily land 250,000 soldiers in California within a few weeks," ho continued. "The Mikado could take possession of tho state and all its resources and industries and soon pay off tho big war indebtedness which somo persons believe is one of tho things that will prevent tho Japanese from fighting the United States at this time. "War between tho United States and Japan is inevitable soonor or later. The Japanese must recognize this fact as wo do in this country, and now is the most inopportune tin.n c .. .... ?? J ,1. . ...

I The Japanese ombassy was sup- ' died by the State department M011lay with a copy of the alien land 1 >wning bill passed by the California legislature and the ambassador will 1 Mnploy the time between now and secretary Bryan's ^return to Wasliingon in preparing a formal protest i igainst measure. Apparently the < mbassy has no hope that any word < President Wilson may send after Sec- i etary Bryan returns will influence Governor Johnson to withhold his i signature from the Act, so the only i )bject of the protest will be to acluaint tho American people with the < Japanese contention, and, if possible, i o influence tho executive branch of he Government to endeavor to nullify the action of the California Legisature. The ombassy will make known the ground of its protest in a diplomatic lote to Secretary Bryan. It is well mderstood that to settle the question 10 matter what may be the point of objection, will require the action of die United States Courts and much jonsidoration must bo given to the [irocedure to bo followed in arranging for a judicial tost of the California law. It will bo for Secretary Bryan to determine whether the United States Government itself shall become a narty to a suit of this kind, In the MHcity of an Intervener. In torn'" n;;i lawyers liint that tho Admini? ation is in an exceedingly dellc: " position for tho reason that, ^ hilt? apparently a champion of tho lapanese through the Secretary of State before the California Legislature, probably from this point on it must defend tho California law against Japan in the diplomatic struggle about to begin. If the department should adopt the California contention that the land law does not violato the existing treaty with Japan, then it might feel bound to refuse to submit the issue to arbitration by Tho Hague Tribunal. Furthermore, it is contended that tho United States Government probably would bo unable to enforce the decree of the Tribunal in case it should be adverse to California, if the American Courts found that the State acted within its rights in enacting the law. No case has yet been found where the Supreme Court has passed upon the relative force of a tieaty which invades the reserved constitutional powers of a sovereign State and of a conflicting law of such State. So the State department has nothing to guide it in that direction and probably must establish a precedent in disposing of this issue. It developed Monday that, as a result of the centering of attention upon the California situation, a number of the diplomatic representatives in Washington have been informally discussing the conferring over alleged violations of treaties by many States of tho Union. Violations are said to have occurred particularly in connection with cases involving the disposition of tho property of aliens who have died intestate in this country and in which local State Courts have taken jurisdiction in defiance of treaties. Altogether there are indications of i feeling of unrest that may lead to demands upon the National Government which could not bo complied with without a general rearrangement of the functions of the State overnments, so far as they concern aliens. PARDONS THREE NEGROES. Governor Rleaso Turns Three More Convicts Tjooso. The Governor Monday paroled Sing Smith, colored, who was convicted of assault and battery with intent to kill at the February, 1913, term of Court for Abbeville County and sentenced to one year 011 the chain gang. The parole was recommended by the party whom Smith shot and was signed by a number of citizens. Tho Governor issued a parole to Henry Roberts, alias Henry Johnson, colored, who was convicted of manslaughter at Dillon in 1911 and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. Tho commutation was recommended by Judge Copes and a number of officers and citizens of Dillon County. ? ? Thinks He's a Dog Once a Year. W. H. Hedgepeth, an Oklahoma farmer, while mentally unbalanced, jumped from a moving car at Atchison, Kan. He told officers that once a year, late in April, he became insane and imagines he is a dog until the spoil has passed. Ho attributes the trouble to the fact that his mother became terror-stricken when a dag attacked her. JSED MEN AS SAND BAGS ro STOP HUSH OF WATER AND SAVE THE LEVEE. 'oloreri .Men Risk Their Lives in Successful Effort to lH<??o Breach in the Biver Bank. Cjuick work by determined farmers and a small bunch of willing negroes who wcro thrown into an in ipient crevasse in the absence of mnd bags saved another disaster ilong the turbulent Mississippi river, rilo (ifl'/pn ln'i'rnfu vutif* lnv In tlwi mp of the Paydras levee, holding jack the water until sand bags could jo filled to take their places, risked [heir lives, but saved tho day when t appeared hopeless to even try to hold the fast crumbling embankment. The Poydras levee, which is only 1 3 miles south of New Orleans, began to cavo rapidly shortly after five o'clock Saturday morning. When the caving was discovered the entire batture in front of tho Poydras store, 100 feet wide and extending from the levee to tho river bank 200 feet out, had caved and a small gap in the levee had gone. Tho alarm was given and within twenty minutes a score of negroes were brought up by a planter who lives a few hundred yards south of tho scene. Tho levee was caving rapidly and when this small force arrived wflter about two Inches deep was pouring over the embankment. It seemed too late to prevent the crash. A desperate chance was taken when two 1 2-inch boards were put along the top of the broken levee and a dozen negroes accepted the task of holding it in place. These human sand bags might be taken with the very next slice of the levee, but they hold on until a row of bags filled with dirt were put in place behind the hoards. Other bags were hastily slipped into tho gap and soon a hundred more negroes and white men were working like ants filling sacks and carrying the filled bags to the gap. Then, without wnrnlntr *V?? .rtl-. . ^ V. V I. ?VI liiVJ OLI Civil of the leveo crown where the human aand bagH lay a few moments before fell away to the depth of 2 8 feet. A second row of bags held the water back and within an hour 2,000 of the dirt-filled sacks were in place and the caving was temporarily checked and, for the time, the levee was saved. ItUIlAL POLICEMAN KILLED. Sumter County Much Aroused Over the Fatal Shooting. A Sumter dispatch says tho body of A. M.

Caughman Saturday, was taken to Ho rob Baptist Church, near Dalzel, and buried Monday afternoon. Mr. Bateman was about thirty years of age and leaves a wife and several small children. The people of the Dalzel section are much aroused over tho shooting. It is said that Bateman was shot in tho back. Bateman made a dying declaration as to tho shooting, but this is being withheld from the public. Caughman is still in jail.

"People have come to know and to understand him better. People think that ho has become more staiblo in his views, struck an equilibrium, as it were.

MAKE CLEAN SPEEPl DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY PASSES TARIFF BILL INI* TAX BILL NEXT ?*? I Payne's Amendment to Create Tariff Commission Precipitates Lively IHv l)ato IJefore it is Killed.?Hull Prepares to Protect Income Tax Feature Against Amendment. The overwhelming Democratic majority in the House Tuesday swept through the free list, bowled over all opposition to free wool, tree meats and other necessities and passed on to consideration of the hundred million dollar income tax feature of the Underwood tariff bill. Not a cent made in the bill as approved by the ways and means committee majority. It was expected the measure would !)0 passed unamended by the House by to-morrow. All day thero was sparring across the aisle dividing the Democrats and the Republicans. 'Many amendments were offered by Republicans in forlorn effort to put many freo listed articles back on the dutiable list, but all were voted down with a regularity that brought smiles from the minority; finally when the last of those T?r/\nnon/l o ti ?r/va It n si fn innf n/1 ,? v j'\/ovu V.naiif,i o uuu UITCH Representativo Payno precipitated a lively rules tight by offering a brand new amendment to create a tariff commission. Instantly all the parliamentary sharps on both si 'es were astir. Speaker Clark sat next to Democratic Leader Underwood at the front of the speaker's rostrum where Mr. Underwood has been conducting consideration of the bill. Representative Fitzgerald, of New York, rushed is from the appropriations committee armed with precedents and followed by Representatives Shirley, of Kentucky, and Hardwick, of Georgia, who joined in the majority protest against admitting the amendment. On the Republican side, Leader Mann, Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, Representative Payne of New York, and others conferred and addressed the House. It was all over quickly, Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, in the chair, sustaining a point of order made by Mr. Underwood that the tariff commission amendment was not germane to the bill. When Repre1 sentative Mann appealed from the decision the House sustained the chair, 164 to 87. Representative Hull, of Tennessee, chief draftsman of the income tax feature of the tariff bill, prepared tonight to assist a campaign by the minority to amend the details of the proposed law. He expected a sharp fight on behalf of the mutual fire ini surance companies, which would be taxed 1 per cent under the measure. Provisions affecting almost verbatim from the corporation tax law already in effect, but to avoid any possible question, a committee amendment was prepared to eliminate even the slightest variation from the existing law. DUNCAN OBJECTS TO WOODS. Protest From Disbarred Lawyer May Delay Confirmation. A Washington dispatch says a protest has been filed with the Senate judiciary committee by John T. Duncan, of Columbia, who is well known in political circles in South Carolina, against the confirmation of Justice Charles A. Woods to succeed Sena' tor Goff on the Federal bench in the Fourth judicial circuit. Duncan charges that, in the proceedings which resulted in his disbarment as a lawyer several years ago by, the i South Carolina Supreme Court, Jus tico Woods, aB a member of that Court, was actuated by bias against . him. It is not thought that the proi test will have any effect. i The referee plan of selecting ofi ficials throughout the South was ini augurated by the Republicans to keep their friends in office is wrong because it is undemocratic. a?^mm : BANK Of ' Conwa HAS LARGEST CAPITAL AND SUP UUUNTY.
