"Washington, Fob. 10.?President. Wilson was told flatly today by Ke publicans of the House military committee that tlv\y believed the committee was practically unanimously opposed to the continental plan sponsored by the War Department. The\ si.id they believed the committee fa vorod strengthening the national v;u?urd and empowering the President to draft it into the regular army in time of war . The Republicans left the White House with the impression that the President still believed the continental army plan the best so far devised He showed no disposition, they said to attempt to force adoption or anj particular plan but expressed the con viction that the committee would ....v .. run ? ..n nnii'ifn firm v c;i til v/uc a i/iii i vi tiu c% * ?i? j The President told them that while ho did not bcliove it feasible to substitute the national guard for the con lino? vial army he favored strengthenin}!; the national guard. Under the constitution, the President contended the guard is distinctly a State force.

The President urged speed and was told that the committee will begin framing the army bill next week and that :it should be ready for the House in three weeks or a month.

OFFICER CAPTURES i TRUNK OF WHISKEY: (Florence Times.) Officer Edwin Harrell captured a! trunk full of beer and whiskey at the Atlantic Coast Line passenger station last night. The officer was on duty at the station, and happened to be standing near the baggage car when the trunk was dumped onto the platform from the Augusta train. J Trunks not being usually handled as' if packed with glass, one of the beerj bottles was broken, and the officer's attention was caught by the trickling i stream of the foamy fluid. He at j once investigated and found neatly packed away 70 bottles of beer and j eight quarts of whiskey. The trunk > was checked at Augusta. It had noj claimant last night, and was confis-, cated by the police.

TWO WHITE WOMEN I ATTACKED BY NEGRO The following account of a blood curdling affair in Georgetown appears in the Times of last week's is- , sue: Saturday afternoon near 6 o'clock two white women living in, Georgetown tmeporarily, were attacked and roughly handled by a black brute, J. B Myers, better known as "Butcher." The two women who reside on the I upper end of Front street, went down to the lower end of the street to one of the fish houses for the purpose of purchasing some fish. When near the fish house, at the foot of St. James 1 street, without any warning they were attacked by a negro, who grabbod one of the ladies bv the throat with such force that his finger prints were plainly visible on her neck. With great presence of mind the ladies defended themselves as best they could by fighting off the attack of the negro. In the scuffle that followed one of the ladies was struck across the face by the negro, leaving a black and blue scar. After getting away from their assailant the two ladies at once reported the matter at police headquarters, giving a description of the negro. Chief of Police Anderson took the case in hand at once and in a few minutes had "Butcher" Myers under arrest. The ladies described their assailant as a man who was under the influence of liquor and wearing a red sweater. When the chief of police arrived at the fish house a few minutes after the assault he found "Butcher" under the influence of liquor and wearing a red sweater, just as described by the ladies. Upon being taken to the guard house the two ladies identified the man as the one who had assaulted them. Upon being identified by the ladies and after consulting with Mayor Saw yor, it was thought best to transfer th< negro to the county jail for safe keeping. The husband of one of the ladies who was assaulted was away from the city at the time, and in fact, had not returned to town up to the writing of this article, hence no action has been taken yet as to swearing out a warrant for the negro. The lady is awaiting the return of her bushand before taking any action in the ir.at-j tor. i It is commonly rumored over the streets that an effort is being made to compromise the matter and have proceedings stopped ag&ifiSt \)\P.
