President Wilson revealed to those

to the bIzo and power of a

from the president that ho was determined

that showed his determination not to

Upon Great Britain's attitude in
the Benton case depends largely the
?extent to which the United States
will become involved. Should England
how an inclination to let the Benton
tmse await final adjudication at a
lime when a tlrm government is established
in Mexico the United States
will not feel called upon to challenge
Gen. Carranza's specific refusal to
aupply the Washington administration
with information about Benton's
death.
Administration officials realize that
in not communicating with Gen Carranza
they have offended his personal
dignity, and they hopo to overcome
this by consulting him now, impressing
upon the Constitutionalist chief
Incidentally that the American government
does not think that formalities
ought to stand In the way of obtaining
protection for foreigners.
Gen. Carranza's declaration that
fnrpll'n cnvommonla oliniiia nrltlroao
him about tho welfaro af their subjects
led to a visit to Secretary Bryan
by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British
ambassador, and Senor Riano, tho
Spanish ambassador. Both Spain and
Great Britain have recognized the ITuorta
government and havo been looking
to tho United States to act for
them in Northern Mexico. There is
avery indication that this course will
be continued, and it is clearly established
that Carranza's manoeuvre will
oot lead the British Government into
any recognition or other dealings
with him.
President Wilson explained to callars
that many foreign governments
had desired tho United States to look
after their subjects, but, of course,
had no right to demand it and were
not demanding it. Strictly speaking
Oarranza might insist on his right not
to deal with one government in the
interests of another, but such a situation
undoubtedly would produce
grave complications with the United
States government, upon whom the
Powers of the world have learned to
look as the dominant factor in Pan
American diplomancy.
Carranza once before has suggested
that Spain, instead of the United
States, should address him directly
about the welfare of the Spanish subjects,
but on that occasion assurances
were Riven that all foreigners would
be protected. The Benton case is the
first specific refusal in regard to interest
of the American government in
the case of a subject of another country.
,
Gon. Villa's acknowledgement of
Gen. Carranza's superior authority
has cleared up all doubt as to who' is
chief of the Constitutionalists move
racnt and has relieved the Washington
government of the necessity of
considering that point. Hereafter, as
Gen. Carranza requests international
matters will ho taken up with hiin.
Ho also will bo called to account for
all harm to foreigners.

STORM CLOUD AHEAD
PKtfIT TO 11K MAI>10 FOU CONTHOL
OF STATE CONVENTION.
FACTIONS LAYING PLANS
+.
Political Followers of Henatorship's
Candidates Are Lining up Hchiml
Their Man?Kach Side Is l>e tor indued
to Control the State Convention
Next May.
The storm clouds are gathering for
Democratic Stato convention, which
a tremendous struggle to control the
assembles in Columbia on the third
Wednesday in May. Conservatives
and radicals, Hleaseites and antiBleaseltes,
and other of the so-called
factious of tho Democratic party are
laying plans to capture the Stato convention
which carries with it the control
of tho primary election machinery.
Realizing that tho contest for the
United States senatorship will ho a
titanic struggle, followers of Governor
Colo Ij. Mease have banded
administration supporters of both
branches of the general assembly
into a compact organization and ad
ministration measures have received
the undivided support of the minority
In both houses. A regular organization
of the Rlease legislators
has been maintained and frequent
caucuses have taken place to determine
the course the administration
minority would follow.
Resulting from this understanding
the vetoes of Governor Blease in the
House havo invariably been sustained,
except in two minor instances,
when the caucus did not bind its
members. Several vetoes met death
in the House the past week, the solid
vote of the Rleaso minority preventing
the necessary two-thirds to overrule
the veto. The administration
minority In the Senate is not sufllcient
to sustain a veto. The majority
against the governor there is over
two-thirds.
Well satisfied with the results of
their action in the legislative session
now drawing to a close, the Blease
followers are planning for the Democratic
club meetings, which tako
placo tho fourth Saturday night in
April. At these meetings tho clubs
are reorganized and delegates selected
for the various county conventions,
which meet the first of May, at which
time delegates from the various counties
uro chosen to tho State convention
and tho members of tho Stato
I executive committeo elected.
The control of the club meetings 1h
the all-important tiling; for obviously
that will insure control of the majority
of the county conventions, and
through that the State Convention
and the State committee. This is the
light and to this end the administration
forces are now directing their
efforts. Already tho cry has been
sent forth to the Bleaseites to organize
and control the club meetings.
But.while the supporters of Senator
10. I). Smith are not talking they
are far from being idle. There is
enough surface indications to show
that Governor Blease is going to face
tho fight of his career for further
political honors. The doctrine of anti-Blease
is being spread through the
length and breadth of the State and
everywhere his opponents are preparing
for tho club meetings and the
county and State conventions. They
propose, if possible, to again control
the State convention and the election
machinery and will go into the fight

KILLED WHILE ON TRIAL
MISSOURI FKimST SHOT BY
PRINCIPAL WITNESS.
?
During Court They Moot in
Bar Room Where Tragedy Takow
Place.
Wesley (Rod) Sltnon, on trial at
St. Louts on a charge of murdering
Emmett Carroll In a gang fond nearly
a year ago, waa shot and Instantly
killed Monday in a nearby saloon during
a recess of the. court in which ho
was being tried. Shortly after the
killing Henry Zang, principal witness
for the prosecution, entered the central
police station, saying ho had had
some trouble with Simon. The sheriff,
who had feared an attack would bo
mado on Simon, had detailed four apodal
policemen to guard him in the
court house. When the shooting occurred
they woro standing on a street
corner two blocks away.
Zang says that Simon, after making
a gesture and threat, moved his
hand toward his hip pocket. When
Simon's body was examined no revolver
was found and his hip pockets
were buttoned. The killing of Car
roll, for which Simon wan placed on
trial Monday, occurred in a saloon
last March. After tho murder Carroll's
body was placed in an automobile
and left near tho home of Mm.
Mary Hagerty, whose daughter discovered
the body. Simon, who was
arrested, admitted that he shot Carroll,
but pleaded self-defenco.
Zang, who is a bartender, wan expected
by the prosecution to testify
that Simon borrowed a revolver from
him two hours before tho shooting.
To the police Zang said Simon came
Into tho Moonoy saloon twice while
he was drinking and told somebody
"that fellow will never live to testify
against me".
.John Cross, who was in the saloon
when the shooting occurred, said that
ho and Zang had been there about
twenty minutes when Simon entered
and invited everybody to have a
drink. Whilo the drinks woro being
served Cross said Zang ami Simon
stepped behind the partition that separates
tho bar from the cigar counter
and the shooting followed.
behind Senator Smith to retrieve the
defeat of 1012 and if possible wipo
lMeaselsm from the political map of
the State. Not talk, but work, is the
motto, as it is evident from surface
indications.
Unless signs nro misleading, another
factor will have to he reckoned
with In the fight for the senatorial
toga. Former Governor John Gary
Evans, it is believed, is considering
going Into the fight, and his friends
aver that his entrance would drive a
wedge between the Mease and Smith
forces and make a new faction out of
portions of both tho present ones.
They say it will bo an Evans faction
made up of voters from both the
nioase and anti-Blease camps, and
that it will bo a formidable wedge.
Then it would not surprise political
observers to witness still another entrant
into this race in the person of
Representative W. F. Stevenson of
Cheraw. In fact, Mr. Stevenson has
told friends in the past few days that
ho is considering entering the race,
lie Is well known all over tho State
and is a public speaker well ablo to
hold his own on any stump with any
opponent. Ilia hold on tho people,
his friends point out, is illustrated In
his re-election from GhesternnM
' county last election in tho face of the
I
fact that Chesterfield went several
hundred majority for Blease. This is
another possible wedge calculated to
split into still smaller factions the
Blease and anti-Bleaseites of South
Carolina. If tho Evans and Stevenson
wedges rip open and break up
the two factions the race will bo hard
to forecast with any accuracy.
A four-cornered fight between
Smith, Blease, Evans and Stevenson
would make a race the like of which
has never been seen in South Carolina,
it is believed. Four better stump
speakers could not bo picked. Each
is tho veteran of many a rousrh and
tumble debate and when these four
measure strength on tho hustings of
is likely that much more than fur will
fly.
With tho legislative and public
records each has made in public life
at their sides tho senatorial candidates
are preparing for tho attack.
The prize, tho senatorial toga, is
dangling in tho distance, and while
tho people wait the would-be senators
aro sharpening their forensic weapons
and making ready for tho titanic
struggle due before the coming
primaries.

Resignation of Dr. J. W. Rebcock,
superintendent of tho Stato hospital I
for tho Insane at Columbia will probably
bo given Governor Colo L. Mease
within the next few days. This crisis
of the 11 glit upon Dr. Ilabcock was
reached Saturday morning when the
governor was notified definitely of his
determination to Immediately step
down from the position ho has held
a quarter of a century.
Tho one thing preventing Dr. Dabcock
from presenting tho governor
his resignation Saturday morning
was the doubt In tho mind of Dr.
Dabcock whether it would be for tha
host interests of tho Institution. Tha
superintendent stated that he had determlned
to sever his connecttom
with the Hospital for the Insana.
When this action would be taken daponded
entirely upon tho advice from
Governor Dlease regarding the time
when his position could be filled Judiciously.
i/Ong eonrorencos botwwn Dr. Hancock
and Senator Mauldln, chalrmaa
of tho committee which investigated
the hospital, and Senator Strait, Senator
Young and Representative Hunter,
members of that committee, were
held in tho lobby of tho capitol early
Saturday. Then it waa determined
that Governor Blouse would bo consulted
by tho committeemen regarding
what he, the governor, considered
the best tlmo for Dr. Babcock to resign.
The members of this former committee
called upon Governor Bleaae,
and after a short conference, returned
with tho advice that Governor
Bleaso would give his decision in thla
matter certainly before the general
assembly adjourned. It was stated
that tho chief executive would reach
this conclusion during tho day.
Following tho complete exoneration
of Dr. Eleanora B. Saunders, a
woman, second assistant medical officer
at tho Stato Hospital for the Insane,
of tho personal and professional
charges against hor, and the strong
endorsement of tho work of Dr. Babcock
as superintendent of that Institution,
in the report of the committer
conducting tho inquiry, which wa?
presented tho general assembly Wednesday,
It was generally reported In
ofllcial circles that the resignation of
Dr. Babcock was forthcoming.
What will be tho action of Dr.
Saunders is not definitely known,
though it is stated on authority none
| other than Dr. Babcock himself that
sho too would be forced to rosiga
when ho leaves that institution. The
I superintendent stated that her life
there would probably ho unbearable,
and that her work would nrohahlr ha
generally hampered through the contrary
efforts of certain other oillcial?
of that institution.
Dr. Saunders is now ill at the State
hospital, suffering a alight breakdown
following the strenuous light
between the committee for her exoneration.
