CHARLESTON HAS
ELECTION RIOTS
One Killed and Six Wounded
In Sudden Riot Last
Friday
SECOND REGIMENT IS
CALLED UNDER ARMS
Impossible to Quell the Disturbance
Until After Fatality
Occurred.
The primary election in Charleston
for Mayor came off last week between
the opposing candidates, T. T. Hyde
and John P Grace. The vote was close.
Hyde beat Grace by an apparent majority
of about 19. On Friday the executive
committee met to tabulate the
vote and declared the official count,
Trouble had been feared from the
first, but there was nothing until
about 12 o'clock Friday while the committee
was tabulating the vote when
rioting suddenly broke out.
The occurrence is reported in news
despatches as follows:
Just after the stroke of 12 o'clock
Friday, a disturbance devloped just
outside tlie room where the executive
committee was about to open the
meeting for canvassing the primary
election vote, and suddenly a fusillade
of shots broke out in the committee
room, causing the death of Sidney J.
Cohen, a reporter for the Charleston
Evening Post, and the wounding of H.
L. Wilensky, W. E. Wingate, W. A.
Turner and Jeremiah O'Brien Mr.
Turner is seriously wounded in the
right lung. Mr. Wingate has a scalp
wound that is serious and Mr. Wilensky
is shot in the arm, and Mr.
O'Brien in the ankle.
The wounded were rushed to hospitals,
but little could be done for Mr.
Cohen, whose wound in the right side
was mortal. There was a large crowd
in King and George streets, awaiting
events, and a large assignment of city
police were in charge. Up to the time
of the shooting, the order had been
normal. In fact, the outbreak in the
room next to the executive committee
room, which, according to general report,
appears to have culminated in
the deplorable affair in the committee
room, where policemen were also stationed,
apparently precipitated such
a sudden outbreak, that it was impossible
to quell the disturbance for a few
minutes and several shots were fir e<L
Soon after the pandemonium in
the executive committee room wore
itself out, consumed by its own passion,
the work of assisting the wounded
set in.
Sheriff Martin, with several score
deputies, hurried to the scene, and the
Washnigton Light Infantry and German
Fusilliers, ordered to their armories,
were in readiness. The militia
at 12:30 marched to the scene and
assumed charge of the order, along
with the city police and special deputies.
That afternoon, at 1:45, it was
generally quiet in the neighborhood
of the scene.
At 2 o'clock Governor Manning was
not in possession of an official report
from Col. Egbert M. Blythe, who is is
command of troops on the scene at
'Charleston.
In reply L> a request from the Associated
Press and The Columbia Record,
the governor declared that he
had not decided as to the necessity for
martial law to be declared. He ordered
the entire Second Regiment, Col. Holmes
11. Springs of Georgetown, under
arms to be ready at call. The Columbia
troops arc a part of that regiment.

in person and was directed to

Gov. Manning's statement explaining

sentence:
"It is my sincere desire that thero

Bulgaria has declared war against
Servia.
The Austro-German invasion of
Servia-is making progress.
A strong German force attacked the
French lines around Souchez and
Vimy last week.
Russian forces have pierced the
Austro-German lines on the Stripa
river They have already taken prisoner
more than two thousand men and
sixty officers and have captured four
guns and ten rapid firers. The Russian
advance is being pushed vigorousA
demand of all Americans on pain
of ostracism to be more than neutrat
in regard to the European war, to
take their stand for America, last and
all the time, was voiced by President
Wilson in a speech at the celebration
of the 25th anniversary of the founding
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution.
The Russian foreign office has been
informed that the wish has been expressed
at Tokio that preliminaries to
negotiations for a Russo-Japanese alliance
be concluded as speedily as possible.
A great national campaign of private
economy was urged by Sir
George Paisli in an address in London
as the only possible means of preventing
ultimate suspension of specie payments
by Great Britain.
While the Austro-German armies
continue to advance into Servia, nothing
been made public to indicate an
actual military move by Bulgaria
against Sorvia, except a report that
an assault is expected momentarily on
the railroad connecting Nish and Salonika.
Upon the conclusion of the seconn
convention of the Southern Tuberculosis
conference in Columbia last week
a resolution was adopted to memorialize
President Wilson and the national
congress for a "commission of expert
laymen," to make a study of and to
determine if possible: the etiological
factors involved in the prevention of
tuberculosis
