REPRESENTATIVE M'DERMOTT IS
THE CH1EE FIGURE

HE TOOK MUCH MONEY
House Ijobby Coiiunitteo Start led by
iM.srio.Niirrs ainuo in Testimony ef
J. II. McMichaels, Dismissed l'agc,
Who Says Representative From
Illinois Threw llim Down.
In a dramatic statement, .1. H. McMichaels,
dismissed chief page of the
'House of Representatives, Saturday
night presented to the House lobby
investigating committee a sweeping
charge of corruption against Representative
James H. McDermott, of Illinois,
for years his sponsor. With
intense earnestness McMichaels, In
picturesque language, corroborated
the allegations of M. M. Mulhall
against McDermott and made additional
charges, at times shocking the
committee and spectators with outbursts
of profanity and slang.
The witness declared that for years
he had exerted every effort to support
McDermott, had loaned him money,
had helped him in his campaigns.
Now, ho said, McDermott had
"thrown him down" and he felt he
must tell the truth.
a- i'? 1
in uuuiuuii u) iii*3 cnarges already
made, McMichaels swore that the Chicago
Representative told him that he
received $7,500 out of a fund of $10,000
raised hy the pawnbrokers of
Washington to oppose a bill possed in
the last Congress regulating interest
rates in the District of Columbia. In
this connection McMichaels told of a
trip to New York, when McDermott
conferred with a member of an association
of brewers, and with George
H. Horning, a local pawnbroker.
Concluding his testimony McMichaels
testified that Congressman McDermott
since the Mulhall expose,
had endeavored to get him to conceal
McDermott's alleged part in the
transaction.
"I met McDermott in the hall of
this office building," said McMichaels,
his voice unsteady with emotion,
"and ho said, 'My C.od, I am a ruined
man. What am I going to do? Do
you suppose anybody will believe this
old guy?' I said to him, 'I've worked
hard for you for six years, harder
than I ever worked for any man. I
tried to elevate you and help you to
a big position.' I told him I had
done all I could for him. He said,
'You've got nothing to lose, you don't
live with your wife. I'm a Congressman
and I've got a wife and children.
Say you wrote these letters unbeknown
to me and that I didn't know
anything about it. Even if they
prove that you committed perjury
and forgery they can only send you
down the river to the ark for two
years and I'll pay you $100 a month
while vou are there.'
"I said to him, 'yes, you're willing
to pay me $100 a month to go to jail
for you, but you won't pay me the
wages you honestly owe me. I've got
eleven dollars in my pocket, that's all
I've got to show for six years' work,
but I won't do this for you."
Apparently struggling to control
himself, McMichaels told the committee
of furnishing $75 to take Mulhall
to Chicago to aid McDermott in
the 1012 campaign.
"Where did you get that money?"
asked Representative Garrett.
"My mother had just died," said
McMichaels, "and T was executor for
my mother's will. The money was in
a hank here to the credit of. the estate
and I gave Mulhall a check for it.
T had to hustle to put it back. I
never got any of it from McDermott."
McMichaels told at length of making
trips to various pawnbrokers in
Washington to secure money either
for McDermott or himself.
"McDermott told me," he said,
"that the pawnbrokers had raised
$1 0,000 to fight the loan shark bill
and later he told mo he got $7,000
out of It. When I asked him why he
didn't pay me what he owed me with
a part of it, he said, 'My God, man, I
lifljl f r> nnv it nn rioUta nnrl I uitll ft \w r>
$9,000.' "
Tho witness said that he, McDermott.
and Mulhall, after conferring at
the Capitol, would adjourn to a dining
room in a small hotel, near the
Capitol, for "extended sessions". Tie
described the room provided in the
Capitol for tho conferences as a
"good place to sleep off drunks".
"Mow would you or McDormott
know about the other having money
after these conferences?" said Chairman
Garrett.
"We'd just smile at each other,"
he said. "Both of us was careful not
to let the other know about how
much money we had. If Mulhall
gave me two hills I'd hide the larger
one and flash the smaller one, because
every time I flashed anything
over two dollars he conned half of it.
Ife would go to the cashier and give
him his money and draw two dollars
and come back to where T was. He'd
say to the cashier, 'For God's sake
don't let Mac see this.' We were
both doing this."
Attempts by Mulhall to dispose of
a collection of affidavits, which, McMlchaels
said showed that Burns' detectives
had committed perjury in a
uif"1/ .... _ i
\
counterfeiting case, were detailed at
length. After Mulliall had left the
National Association of Manufacturers,
the witness said, these affidavits
were offered to the corps of attorneys
defending former Senator Lorimer in
the Senate for the purpose of discrediting
the evidence of Burns' detectives.
Later, he added, he and Mulliall
tried to get McDerinott to turn
over the affidavits and other documents
in Mulhall's possession, including
the pnrrfisnnnilonoo
. ~?ru..uv>ivo i cv.cmi> lllUUU
public, to a committee of the House,
to Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
to Clarence Harrow, defending the
McNamara brothers in the dynamiting
cases on the Pacific coast.
McMlchaels told of a conference
early in 1912, at a saloon near the
Capitol, when he said he, McDermott
and Mulhall drew up a resolution providing
for the publication of the Mulhall
correspondence and documents.
He said that McDermott agreed to
see Speaker Clark, Majority Leader
Underwood and Republican Leader
Mann, and if they were favorably inclined
to introduce the resolution in
the House.
"Three days later," said the witness,
"McDermott told Mulhall that
he had seen the leaders and that they
advised against the introduction of
the resolution. McDermott lied about
that. He hadn-t seen the leaders."
"How do you know he lied?" asked
Chairman Garrett.
"Why he'd rather lie than eat,"
said McMlchaels.
The chairman had some difficulty
in restoring order in the committee
room after this outburst.
From the fall of 1 909 until January,
1912, McMlchaels said he was
almost constantly on the pay-roll of
successively Democratic chief page of
the House, attendant in the House
press gallery and elevator conductor
in the Capitol. He told of introducing
Mulhall to Representative James
E. McDermott, of Illinois, for whom
he worked as a kind of sonrofarv onH
said that McDormott worked with
Mulhall and provided the latter with
a roo min the basement of the Capitol,
where McDermott, McMichaels
and Mulhall conferred.
"Did you ever see any money pass
between Mulhall and McDermott?"
asked Chairinana Garrett.
"I never saw any money actually
pass between them," said the witness,
leaning back in his chair and pausing
to puff at his cigarette. "Hut I had
reason to believe that plenty of it was
passing. I got mine open and above
board."
"Why do you say you had reason
to believe money was passing?"
The witness leaned forward and
pounded on the committee table: "I
am not a fool," he continued. "When
two guys like me and McDermott sit
down to a table and the two of us
ain't got a penny, and a third guy
comes in and we have eats and drinks
and get up with the dough, I know
that dough don't grow on trees, or on
the tables."
KILLED IN POWER HOUSE.
Colored Man Touched a Live Wire
With Piece of Iron.
At Greenwood George Davis, colored,
was instantly killed Thursday at
tho power house when lie touched a
live wire carrying 23,000 volts. The
negro was in the small brick transformer
house, where the heavy voltage
from the Savannah River plant
is reduced to the voltage used on the
Greenwood transmission wires. lie
started to show Engineer Deadwyler,
who was with him, a place where the
heavy wires had an uninsulated spot,
and in doing so ho pointed to the
place with a piece of wire which he
held in his hand. Without knowing
it, he touched another uninsulated
place on the wire and was instantly
killed.
"Pleas? Send Irs Daddy."
"Governor, please send us daddy,"
wrote the two little tots of David A.
Kinard, of Tlamberg, to Governor
Blease Monday morning in a letter
accompanying their photographs.
One was a little girl two years old
and a little boy four years of age.
"Daddy" was in the penitentiary
for ten years for killing another mill
operative, William Marvin in Bamberg
last spring. The governor ac|
ceded to the request of the children,
and sent "daddy" back homo with a
parole in his pocket.
This would have been all right if
Governor Blease could send the daddy
of the little children of William
Marvin, who was killed by Kinard,

man who took their daddy from them
bo punished?
Why should he he turned loose to
go and kill the daddy of some other
little children possibly because his
little children wanted their daddy
back? Kinard ought to have thought
of how he would he missed by his
little tots when he was about to deprive
the little tots of Marvin of their

NEGRO KILLS HIS WIFE
SLAYER THEN ESCAPES ANI)
MANHUNT IS BEGUN.
Georgetown Negro Shoots His Spouse
When She Kef uses to Leave
Georgetown With Him.
Monday afternoon a negro laborer
at the mills of the Atlantic Coast
Lumber Corporation at Georgetown,
by the name of Robert Richardson,
drew his money at the pay olllco,
stating he intended to leave for Alcolu,
his former home. Turning to
his wife, a native of Georgetown, he
called upon her to pack up and go
with him on the next train. Unon
her refusing to accompany him away
from Georgetown, he drew a pistol
and shot her twice at close range,
one bullet taking effect in the back
and tho other enterng the ear and
passing entirely through the head,
causing instant death. Thereupon
Richardson took flight for tho woods,
with several negro men in pursuit.
Twice the pursuers were flred at by
Richardson, but bravely continued
tho chase until tho woods were
reached, when the fugitive disappeared
in the dense undergrowth.
Word was at once sent to County
Supervisor G. D. Anderson, who had
gone to Sampit llridge, where the
chain gang is at work, to send the
county blood hound, which arrived
shortly thereafter in an automobile.
The dog was put on the trail by Deputy
Sheriff Prevatt. Tho negro was
tracked through the swamps and
marshes for a considerable distance,
until he came to the creek, when all
signs of him disappeared.
The negro population was much
moved by the occurrence, and a mob
gathered at the scene of the tragedy,
women and men calling for vengeance
against the perpetrator. Every
effort is being made to capture
Richardson.
HEATS TRAIN IN A RACE.
Aviator (Jets From New York to
Washington First.
C. Mirvin Wood, the American
aviator, who Friday attempted a
non-stop race in his monoplane with
a train from New York to Washington,
and thence to Fort Myer, Va.,
for exhibition (lights, reached his
destination late Friday afternoon after
he had ben compelled to interrupt
his flight on a farm near Gaithersburg,
Md., sixteen miles from Washington.
Wood won his race with the
train, making tho landing at Gaithersburg
at one minute after nine
o'clock, forty minutes before the
train rolled into the union station.
Money to Move Crops.
For tho first time in the history of
the United States Government the
treasury department recognizes it*
obligation to the agricultural interests.
The determination of the Democratic
Administration to let the
bankers of the South and West have
large sums of money to move the
crops will be of great benefit to the
farmer and all others in these sections.
This is in direct contrast to
the policy of the Republicans. They
always loaned the public money to
Wall Street instead of lending it to
tho banks in the South and West to
move the crops.
This means a great easing up in
the financial situation. It means that
producers, dealers, millers and exporters
of grain and cotton will be
able to sell and handle the new crops
now being harvested to bettor advan
l.ik*' man lur many years. Jt means
a greater demand for what the farmer
has to sell, and plenty of money
or credit with which buyers may be
able to promptly pay for grain and
cotton. It means easier conditions
for farmers throughout the crop marketing
months during the balance of
the year.
It may not mean higher prices tc
producers or consumers, but this action
of the treasury department will
so facilitate all legitimate transactions
in buying and moving, marketing
and moving, marketing and manufacturing
grain and cotton as tc
tremendously benefit all the people
as well as farmers, bankers and the
trade. This new action also will
have an important effect in encouraging
the progress of currency and
banking reform. For the first time
the United States recognizes prime
commercial paper, at 65 per cent, of
its par value, as the basis of current
credit or advances of money from the
treasury.
This is a recognition of the principle
of credit currency, in contradistinction
to a bond subject currency.
Every student of the subject knows
that when Congress finally enacts an
adequate banking law which shall
safely provide for a credit currency,
this country will be almost insured
against panics and will leap Into a
dominating position as the financial
power of the world. Orange Judd
Southern Farming says that every
principle of sound banking is observed
In this transaction.

Help tlio State Fair. ?
As we see the matter the State
Fair is one of our most important in- i
stitutions, and all the counties in 1
the State ought to do all they can to
make it a grand success. Tho Statu 1
Fair is a valuable educational agency
along all lines of agricultural and in- '
dustrial advancement and the people
of the State should take advantage
of it as such. It is not an enterprise
of Columbia but belongs to the whole
State, and the whole State should
give it cordial and substantial encouragement
and support.
To encourage the different counties
to take more interest in the State
Fair the management has offered
valuable prizes for county exhibits.
This should stimulate a healthy rivalry
among the several counties, and
: help make the State Fair this fall the
' best and most complete ever held.
The different counties should put
their best foot foremost and let the
outside world know what they can do
; in the way of raising crops and stock
of all kinds. Such exhibits would do
1 the respective counties a great deal
more good than they would the State
' Fair.
In many County Fairs that have
1 been inaugurated in the State should
nut ue conducted on an antagonistic
1 basis to the Stato Fair, but as auxiliaries
to it. There should be no antagonism
011 the part of the management
of any County Fair to the State
Fair. Greater success for the State
Fair means greater success for every
County Fair held in the State. Both
State and County Fairs are valuable
1 as educators to all our people, and
both should be encouraged and helped
as much as possible by all the
' people.
No observant man, it makes no dif1
ference what his calling may be, ever 1
, attended a State or County Fair who
did not come away benefitted by the 1
many things ho saw there. Then, 1
' too, mixing up with and coming in
' contact with other people broadens a !
man out and makes him a better and
more public spirited citizen in every
' way. For this reason, all who can 1
' should avail themselves of the educa- 1
' tional advantages offered by the '
1 State and County Fairs by attending ^
' them and investigating the new 1
L things they come in contact with {
there.
The farmers are the backbone of
1 the State, and for the benefit of (
themselves as well as for the benefit 1
of the State, they should keep abreast I
of the times in all things that tends
1 to increase the productiveness of 1
their farms and make their hiirriena I
lighter. ThiR they can do by attend- '
ing the State and County Fairs and '
exchanging views and methods with
farmers from all over the State. In
this way new ideas and plans may bo
1 learned that would he of inestimable 1
value, not only to themselves, but to I
their respective communities. In the t
multitude of counsel there is wis- I
dom. 1
The farmers should not only attend
the State and County Fairs, but i
they should make exhibits at them
and thus give others the benefit of
their ideas and methods. The Wil- '
liamson plan of raising corn has been i
of great benefit to the farmers of the State,
but if Mr. Williamson had not !

Hotter Remedy for Malaria.
Romo sixteen years ago an arm\

that a pesky mosquito, biting fron
man to man, carried malaria as wel
as yellow fever that, as you put the
anopheles insect out of business, yov
likewise reduced the li.ibility tc

learn was what made the mischief ir

It's a colored poison called liemi

call the malaria germ, concocts thai
pigment somewhere in its minute sys

throughout the body, producing the

ment of that promise I make tlie fol.
lowing brief reply to the matters that

"I deny that I used any campaign
t contributions for personal use.
t "I deny that I speculated in Wall
street or used money contributed for
I campaign purposes to buy stock eithi
er in my own name or otherwise.
J "I never had an account with Fuller
& Gray or ?oyer & Griswold. I
i never hearu of these firms, do not
i know the members, and knew nothi
ing about the transactions with theso
i firms testified to before the Frawley
committee until recently threatened
t witli exposure, and the alleged trans}
actions were brought to my attention
by the Frawley committee.
1 "The stock matter with Harris and
) Fuller was not a speculative account
1 or matter, but a loan made upon
1 stock collateral, which stocks had
been acquired and paid for years be)
fore my nomination for 4he office of
i.overnor, and rrom other sources
* than Harris and Fuller.
"Certain checks given to me for
campaign purposes were deposited to
my personal account, and thereafter
I paid the amount of said checks to
I my campaign committee.

tary of fitato I relied on information

I in whom I had and have the most

olared he has been subjected to con
