TAKES NEW PHASES TWIST SIN MEXICAN SITUATIOh AS I t K HE US TAKE TAMPICO, o NOW CONTROL SEAPORT i ap(aro of City Gives Constitutionalists Better Standing Among the Nations of tlio World?United Ktates Warships Move up IUvcr Where Federals Blockade Port. Tampico's fall, enlarging the Constitutionalists' sphere of control and giving them a seaport through which munitions of war may be directly imported, Injected into tho Mexican sitAion Thursday new pliases attract v tlie attention of otncial Washingn. The last conference of the f3 ?uth American mediators was held ...id later it was announced that the envo s would depart for Niagara Falls by way of New York. Interest centred on Tampico and the vigorous prosecution of the Constitutionalists campaign southward. The American government already has begun representations to the Constitutionalists to secure protection for American and other foreign operatives returning to the oil wells; American warships have gone up the Panuco river to their old stations before the town. At the mouth of the river are tlio federal gunboats with a part of the federal garrison. The captains of the ship have asked for an Interview with Rear Admiral Mayo, which was granted, but lCs purpose has not been divulged. Discussion centred chiefly 011 the question of shipping arms and ammunition through Tampico as the Constitutionalists are short and wish to avail themselves of the first oppormity to replenish their stock. Arms ere prevented from reaching the onstitutionalists through the emirgo which was replaced by Presi?nt Wilson some time ago. At Manzanillo and other west coast i^orts no efforts have been made to prevent arms reaching Huerta and the belief was general that the Con atltionalists would have no difficulty iji Importing munitions through TarnV>IA/\ 4 vi ftntr xf in atij vjuautitj , The presence of the Huerta gunBoats in Tampico liarbor after evacuation by the federals has led to the conjecture that they will be used in blockading the port. It is believed that it was with the purpose of learning whether Admiral Mayo would respect such a blockade that the commanders of the federal gunboats asked for a conference. Naval experts agree that so long as the federal commanders are able to make this blockade really effective, it must bo respected by foreign shipping. The recognition of an effective blockade by a belligerent does not, it is said, involve political recognition of ether party to the strife. The stato department regards the Lobos island lighthouse incident as closed. Secretary Bryan acquitted of blame Lieut. Commanders Jefof the destroyer Fanning, who e tho light keeper a certificate t he had taken possession of the .-o.it by force. It was a Mexican and not a Norwegian vessel from which shots wore fired against Americans at Vera Cruz, for which incident five South Americans were arrested, according to a report from Gen. Funston to Secretary Garrison. The case under consideration is interesting the state department exceedingly. Tho whereabouts of John R. Silliman, the missing American vice consul at Saltillo, and Samuel Parks, the American orderly reported executed by federals near Vera Cruz, has also been taken up. The secretary of state is devoting much interest to the proposed importation of arms through Tampico by the constitutionalists. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, tho British ambassador, and Mr. Van Rappard, tho Dutch minister, after a long conference at the state department expressed satisfaction over the outcome of tho meeting. It is understood that satisfactory as~**rances had been received as to the fety of workmen and oil tanks at .mpico, removing for the present nger of foreign complications on is score. Although Admiral Mayo has returned with his fleet to tho Panucc river it was made plain that he was not to land any marines or to assert any control whatover over Tampico It was said at the department that he had not asked for or received any in structions regarding tho admissioi of arms into tho port. Another phase of tho situatioi which attracted much attention wa< the embarrassment which their sue cess brings to the Constitutionalist: because of demands mado by foreign ?m to the rebels In their capacity o A governing body. The Spanish am basaador has a bill to present fo *20,000,000 for property alleged t tiave beon confiscated by the Constl tutionalists. Enforced loans furnis cause for other demands.

Two Distinct Plans Arc to be Pre seated to Convention Looking To wards Primary Reform. Plans of those advocating the re striction of the primary to registero< . voters are going forward satisfactor ily, according to information in polit ! ical circles. By the time the Stati Democratic convention meets every thing will bo mapped out, all detail perfected, and tho structure read: for presentation to tho 33G delegate; who will make up tho convention Tho State convention meets nex Tuesday at noon in tho hall of tin House of Representatives, and tin most itnportant question to come be fore that body will bo tho reform o the primary. There is sharp division in tin ranks of tho anti-Ifieaso factior which will control the conventior over how far tho suffrago restrictior should go. One section favors letting every white man vote, but standi for such reforms as allowing enrollment on only one club and the closing of the lists some days before the first primary and the filing of a certified copy with the clerk of court 01 some other responsible officer. This plan includes also such regulations as will provide a correct list of all voters and some of them favor a reenrolment while still others favor purging of the rolls. Another wing of the anti-FMease forces are for going the whole length and want the general election requirements applied to tho primary. They say that anything less than this will be a makeshift and accomplish nothing and point out that there is very little in the cry that to make registration certificates mandatory i for the primary will deprive any considerable number of Democrats from voting. They want every opportunity ! given for every white man qualified to register. This wing is headed by John J. t. - * ? ? lvio.vianan and in? mcniana county delegation in the convention, they going instructed to vote and work for amendments to the rules and constitution of the party requiring each voter to present a registration certificate before they can vote in the primary. Just how much strength this wing will develop is uncertain, but they are optimistic and will make a great light to carry through their point. Nearly half of the county conventions endorsed primary reform, but to what length this will go is not yet apparent. United States Senator B. R. Tillman is a delegate to the State convention from his home county of Edgefield, and his attitude on the primary reform will have great weight. There is general hope that Senator Tillman will attend the convention. United States Senator E. D. Smith is likely to be the dominating personality in the convention, and his wishes will be referred to. lie is a delegate from his home county ol Leo, but has not indicated whethei he will attend the convention. lie and Senator Tillman are both needed in Washington right now in con liection with matters before congress and they may not be able to got off The Blease minority in the Stat< convention will oppose any change ir the present primary regulations i they follow tiie wishes of their leade: as expressed by him on several pub lie occasions. Governor TUeaso i opposed to yoth plans which havt been talked of and thinks that tin primary is good enough and ought t< bo left alone. ? ? ? SEVEN KILLED IN EXPLOSION. ?

Ho promised, both personall: . and through his counsel, to place a the disposal of the commission ever: fact and "every scrap of paper with i New Haven mark on it'' relating t< the transactions with which he hai to do as president of the New Havei system. It was evident that Mr. Mellon wai anxious to tell his story. He had in dicated his desire in letters hereto fore produced in the pending inquiry in which he said he was tired of bear ing the brunt of the citicism heapec upon him for the New Haven trans actions and that, if any blame was at tached to them, he proposed to pu the blame where it belonged.

Although ho has f brought to Washington severa . trunks full of papers and books, lu , did not have all the commissioi wanted. Not more than an inkling of Mr 3 Mellen's remarkable story was givei by him during the brief hour he wa 2 on the stand. He told how, in tli i acquisition of the New York, West f Chester & Boston railroad by the Ne\ r Haven, 80,000 shares of the stock o - the latter were given for 2 4,00 s shares of the Westchester's stock, al b though, he said, he considered th e latter stocK worm oniy "iu cents d pound".

ACT AGAINST AUDITOR COMPTROLLER ASKS FOR AC7TIO? AGAINST SALUDA AUDITOR. It Is Claimed That the County Ofll j? rial Docs Not Chargo Tax Penal ties Prescribed by Law. Comptroller General Jones Monda: . 4 . - - - - - night asked Attorney liberal Pee it pies to bring mandamus proceeding! to compel Auditor Hazel of Saludi l" county to charge penalties for non l4 payment of taxes. In a letter to tin attorney general, he said: "Mr. N. D. Hazel, county aiulitoi for Saluda county, has refused am ^ continues to refuse to charge upoi ? the tax duplicate for the fiscal yeai 1 0 1 3 in Saluda county the penalties * for non-payment of tho taxes on oi " before the 31st of December, 1913 e as required by Section 434, Volutin Ll 1, Codo of Laws South Carolina G 1912. He assigns as a reason foi f this refusal that such penalties have not been charged for several years 3 past in Edgefield county and he believes in some other counties of the - State on delinquent taxes paid be? tween January 1 and March 15. II - thoso penalties have not. been cliarge ed and collected in Edgefield county ? or other counties, the State and 0 county have a remedy to collect v them, and if the proper county offis cers do not act, the State Sinking - Fund Commission has power to eny force collection of those penalties t through its agenls. ' "If, however, you should conclude 1 that the auditor of Edgfleld should 1 be required to enter the penalties on 1 the books, and the treasurer of that 1 county to collect them, then I suggest that you proceed against the au3 ditor of Edgefield to require him to - comply with the law. "When tho matter was called to ' the attention of tho county auditor at Edgefield, he stated that the fail1 ure to charge these penalties at the proper time was due to an oversight in following his predecessors' prac1 tice with no intention to evade or set 5 aside or disobey the law, and Mr. D. * IT. Wise, a representative of the 7 comptroller's office, had approved a settlement several years ago, made 3 up by the county auditor and county treasurer, which apparently on the fnrn nf IVia sptllpmont IrinlnclQ/i oil V wv*v?tt Vkft V illV?iU\lVU CI I 1 penalties imposed by law, when as 1 a matter of fact, the January and * February penalties were not included 3 until March, when executions were issued for taxes not paid by the 15th 2 of that month and these settlements 3 being approved by Mr. Wise, the county auditor of Edgefield was, he states, misled into believing it wae 3 unnecessary to enter these penalties * in January and February. "The county auditor of Saluda county, however, has deliberately de2 clined and refused to enter these pen* alties on the duplicate on delinquent p taxes as required by Section 4 54, and 1 has advertised the fact that he would 1 not enforce these penalties as required by law. Under Section 411 3 Volume 1, Code of Laws, 1012, ] * issued instructions to the county au ^ ditor of Saluda county along with al a other county auditors calling this 1 law to their attention. "I now ask that you institute pro ceedings in the nature of a man n damns against the county auditor o a Saluda to enforce the performance o e Hi is clear ministerial duty by him - the laws of the entire State can no v be set aside and penalties in whicl f the whole State is interested remitte< 0 by the act of a single officer. 1- "Please advise me promptly as t< e what action you will take in till a matter.

J Just after lie had concluded a speech in Magistrate Hellam's Court at Gray Court Tuesday afternoon . John M. Cannon, a prominent attorney of the Laurens Bar, and one of the bestknown citizens of the County and State, was shot and almost fn| stantly killed by Joseph G. Sullivan, 4 son of Thos. J. Sullivan, and a prom' inent young farmer of near Tumbling Shoals. Mr. Cannon was shot five times, four of the bullets penetrating his , body and the fifth piercing his arm near the elbow. One of the bullets , struck a bystander, Archie Willis, passing through his leg near the ankle. Sullivan was brought to Jail soon after the shooting. When seen by newspaper representatives he declined to make any statement, saying that ho might have something to say later. The body of Mr. Cannon was carried to Laurens 011 the late train. The tragedy grow out of a case brought in the Magistrate's Court by Miss Maude Sharp, teacher of the Mount Bethel School in Sullivan Township, against Humbert Sullivan, aged 18, a pupil of Miss Sharp and] a brother of Joseph G. Sullivan, the alleged slayer of Mr. Cannon. Humbert Sullivan was charged with common assault, using profane language 1 in a public place and committing depredations on the property of the school building several weeks ago. Mr. Cannon was employed by Miss Sharp to prosecute the case. A change of venue in the case was obtained and the trial came up for I n tinn xlnx rr> 1 Y. ? r * r * - ' * c* nvai nig i iitrauti^ utriure iYlilgiaiFaiB Ilellams, of Dial Township. W. R. Richey, Sr., of the Laurens Bar, represented the defendant. A number 1 of witnesses for both sides testified, including a sister of the defendant. ' After ascertaining that Miss Sullivan 1 was a sister of the defendant, Mr. Cannon is said to have asked her to 1 "come down." Exception was taken 5 to this by opposition counsel and ' Mr. Cannon disclaimed any intention 1 of reflecting on whatever she might 1 have testified to and thus the incident ended. Mr. Cannon made the opening and closing argumonts and is said to have ' excoriated the conduct of the young defendant in no uncertain terms. ' When the jury filed out of the depot ' office, where the trial was held, Mr. Cannon stepped out into the depot yard. lie was approached by a pat' ron of the school, who complained " that the attorney had#in his speeches 1 reflected on the character of his son, 3 one of the principal witnesses for the defense. Mr. Cannon is said to have replied " that he sought only to bring out the { truth and had no apologies to make,? 1 whereupon Mr. Wood, the patron,' truned away, saying ho wanted an | ^ apology or trouble. At this junc-! 1 turo it appears Joseph G. Sullivan 1 took up the matter and told Mr. Cannon that he had disgraced his 0 brother and the Sullivan family, and 3 that when ho made certain deroga tory statements he (Cannon) knew - I it ? 11 ' iney were lies. 11 Mr. Sullivan resented this and s struck Sullivan on the head with a f cane, which the deceased had used since his leg was broken several months ago in a railway accident. The instant ho struck Sullivan the latter e drew his pistol and fired five times n in rapid succession, and at a very I- close range. Mr. Cannon was standing near the steps of the depot and sank as he attempted to ascend them. Friends rushed up and caught him >f before he fell. He said he knew he y was mortally wounded and was going a to die, but he was conscious or having performed his duty, and that in defense of a woman.

WILL STAND. ? Denies Hucrta is tlie Drunkard He i? Pictured and Says lie is a Deter- ^ mined Man Not Apt to Yield. Nelson O'Sliaughnessy, charge d'affaires of the American embassy at Mexico City, Tuesday night told President Wilson the story of what happened in the Mexican capital during the days immediately preceding and , following the occupation of Vera Cruz, and gave him an intimate pic- A turo of Gen. Iluerta. It was the first ^ um? air. u ttnaugnnessy naa seen tne > ^ president since his arrival in Washington last week. Ho was at the White IIouso for more than an hour, and went away highly pleased with his reception. The charge advised the president that Iluorta was a hard man and not apt to yield his position as dictator ^ easily. He expressed the opinion, however, that any government sot up in Mexico which has the support of the United States will stand. After he left the White House Mr. O'Slioughnessy intimated that he believed President Wilson had a broad and firm view of the Mexican question. He quickly disposed of reports that ho believed ho had been badly treated by tho administration. The president thanked him, ho said, for his services in Mexico, and expressed approval of his course. No other post has been offered the charge, and ho indicated that ho expected to be allowed to take an extended vacation in the United States. It is understood that Mr. O'Sliaughnessy's acount of Gen. Huerta was such as to strengthen, if possible the president's determination to force tho elimination of the Mexican dictator. lie denied, however, that Gen. Huerta was tho drunkard that ^ ho has been painted In some quarters, and he also told the president he did not believe the Tampico incident had been planned by Huerta to bring about trouble with the United States. Mr. O'Shaughnossy expressed fear for tho safety of Louis D'Antin, left ^ in charge of American envbassy building. Ho said that D'Antin's mother was a Mexican and that tho man is constantly having disputes with Mexicans over the United States and in that way has made enemies. Mr. O'Shaughnossy , will continue i for the present at least, to retain tho title of first secretary of tho Ameripan pmhnssv nnrl will rlrnw tho oal_ ary attached to the first post.
