For the greater part of the crowd this was the only opportunity to sec the President, as Mechanics hall, where he was to deliver his only ad dress of the day, seats but 7,000 persons, and all of the tickets for the meeting were alloted several <lays ago. Recognition of the international character of the President's recent activities was shown in the frequent display of the flags of the nations which were allied with the United States in the war. The George Washington dropped anchor off quarantine shortly after dark last night. A short distance eff Boston harbor the George Washington was met by an escort of eight submarine chasers sent from the navy yard here. The ship proceeded to quarantine and the Presidential party remained on board over night. The storm which had hung over the coast passed off to sea la-1 night and the day opened clear. All the baggage ot the Presidential party was transferred to a spo. rial train which was made ready to start for Washington with the President and his associates at 4:110 p. m. : Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the President, spent the night aboard the George Washington with President Wilson and came ashore today with the Presidential party. o GERMANS RESTLESS AND SHORT OF FOOD American Army Officer Says Country Is In a Fluid , ' Condition. Washington. ? Captain Walter Gherardi, of the United States army, who has been in Germany for two weeks studying: economic and general conditions, has tetumed to Paris and reported that lie found much unemployment throughout the country and a restless, fluid condition that contains a threat against th peace of the immediate future. He says Germany's food supplies are limited to nearly exhausted reserve > which cannot last longer than next month, leaving a great gap to be filled before harvest. The German army, Captain Gherardi says, has shrunk to insignificant figures and is no longer form id able. If the new armistice terms now being framed, involving disarmament of all but a sufficient number of soldiers to prevent internal disorders, are obsei-ved by the Germans, it is believed by most of the Entente representatives here that France r.eed have no fear from that quarter and that there can be no reason for delaying the conclusion of a peace treaty. o JESSE JENRETTE MAURI EI).

Fourteen Arrested in New York May Have Aimed At President T EN MORE TAKEN IN PHILADELPHIA I - Secret Service Men and PoI lice Making Careful Investigation i I Now York.?Federal attorneys and secret service men today were examining the personal effects and papers of fourteen Spaniards, members of the Industrial Workers of the World, who were arrested here yesterday on suspicion that two of their number were ccmed in a plot in an attempt to take the life of President Wilson on his landing at Boston. While definite information was lacking, the authorities admitted the raids on two Spanish I. W. W. headquarters here were prompted by a report that two Philadelphia Spaniards were on their way to Boston as agents in the alleged plot. These two men were among the fourteen arrested. Pending this investigation, the prisoners are being held without bail on a general charge of violation of the espionage act based on their being in the possession of alleged seditious literature. The fourteen Spaniards were taken from their cells at police head- ; quarters today and placed in the < 1 olice "line-up" but none of the men < was recognized by the detectives as ; having been arrested here before. ; The police said that no weapons were i found on any of the men. Arrests in Philadelphia. i Philadelphia.?Ten men were ar- i rested here early today suspected of < being- implicated in the New York 1 plot to assassinate President Wilson. ; T he prisoners taken here were round ed up shortly after the raid by the 1 police in New York. ij The men arrested here are Eduardo Parades, a Cuban, said to be the leader of the Spanish I. W. W.; Pa:- ' i'li>ale Surreno, Jose E. Gomez, Jose < Rigo, Juan Marquez, Olliero Blanco, Leonard Garaz, Juan Rodriquez, i Jose Gonzales and Jose Antonio Puia. All arc Spaniards and nine cf them are aliens. Secret service men here attach ( more importance to the arrest m j New York of two Philadelphians Flo } nen Medina and Elario Orestissa. j than to the round-up of the ten Spao j iards in this city. In their rooms were found about 200 pounds of anarchist and Socialist literature and a number of letters. Bundles of copies o' a Spanish anarchist newspaper also were seized. Today the men were taken from a police station to the Federal building v.*here they are being examined separately. o William Elliott, State food administrator, has written to all county food administrators advising that stabilized prices for cotton seed are to continue, in consequence of an agreement reached in Washington last week. o SUMTER CHILD KILLED. (The State.) Sumter.?Sidney Smith, the small .... f l o... ; A. l. _ _ I ..-I sun 01 v.,. n. onuvn, an employee 01 the Avery Lumber Company, was run over and killed this afternoon by an automobile transfer driven by a negro. The little boy was riding on the back of a truck and it is said diopped off too close to the front of the transfer for the driver, who was going at a moderate rate of speed only to turn aside. The child's head was crushed. He was carried to the Toumen Hospital, but died at 8 o'clock, just about four hours after the accident. The white passengei in the car and the negro driver went to the hospital and did what they could for the little boy. No one in the neighborhood where the accident occurred knew the child and the primary teachers in the city schools were called in to help establish his identity, which was done by Miss Eloise Wilson, whose private school he had been attending. A .. i.1 : i mi i uiu cojynur .s inquest win not be held until tomorrow, the facts as how the accident came about have rot been established, but the general impression is that the driver could not have prevented the accident. GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO HAVE BIG WEEK Many Important Measures in Both Houses This Week .^.Bills before the two houses of the general assembly Monday will consume the entire week, in all probability, if many pending matters of vital importance are to be considered. That adjournment sine die will be taken before the end of the week is only a remote possibility. The general appropriation bill is on third reading in the senate and will occupy the attention of the senate in all probability until Wednesday or Thursday. The house will necessar! ily balk at some of the changes in the appropriation bill, which will necessitate the free conference adjustments. The end of the week will have been reached before all these adjustments have been effected. Since the passage of the appropria tion bill by the house, bills carrying appropriations of $475,000 have been passed by that body. One of these appropriating $100,000 for buildings and maintenance of the State school for the feeble-minded. Another .$100,000 is to bo applied this year to the rebuilding of the Citadel. A similar amount was voted for a memorial to the white soldiers and sailors from South Carolina. A bill calling for $50,000 for vocational training for the public schools has since passed, as has a bill guaranteeing a seven months' term in public schools and carrying an appropriation of $125,000. In that there are about $.'170,000,000 of taxable property in the State, at least a levy of one and one-fourth mills have been added by the house since the general appropriation bill, calling for a seven and three-fourths mill levy, was passed February 13. A number of vital issues are pending in both houses. The senate has not yet debated the compulsory education bill, calling for a term of four months or SO days of compulsory attendance. The senate has passed the Christcnsen-McGhee resolution calling for a referendum of the question of a State constitutional convention, but J resolution has been slow to come , to the front in the house, where it is | on second reading. lloth houses are in the toils'- cf go:d roads legislation, but no matei"l progress has yet been made. The senate has two memorial .ensures before it, cnc calling for . x'i1) 000 for a memorial to the whites J I another calling for an equal irr .rtt to supplement private subscriptions from the negroes, as wi lh the whites. The Hart-Mims bill from the house to rebuild the Citadel is en second reading* in the senate. This ( measure as it wont to the senate 1 calls for an appropi iation of $300,- , 000. to be paid in three annual in- 1 st,ailments and to be utilized in the , construction of new buildings on the | site of '200 acres of land given oy Charleston. / Numerous other measures of less i / 1 importance are before both bodies. o i Efforts being ma le in the house to decrease the pay or privates in the ( army from $30 to $15 a month after July 1 met with instant oppositioi when this information reached the senate. IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE. On February 13th, 1010, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rollie Hanna, and took away from them their darling little girl, Opal Estcllo.

Washington.?Investigation' of the cotton exchanges with a view to determining whether manipulation had caused u decline in prices was urged today by Reprecscntatives Caraway, of Arkansas, and Keflin, of Alabama, before the House l-ules committee. They asked that a resolution for the investigation be called before the House as soon as possible, but no final action was taken by the committee. Chairman Pou, of North Carolina, commenting on a statement of Mr. Keflin, said it "was illogical" that spot cotton should sell at 27 cents, with futures at 211 cents. Mr. Hefhn had referred to the New York exchange's quotations of* yesterday, and also to sales of spot cotton made at the same time at Savannah, Ga. "The futures ought to be a cent or more higher than the spot," declared. Mr. Heflin. "Any investigation, if it found out the cause for the difference, would be worth the cost," said Chairman I'ou, while Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, added that the cotton | exchanges have no real sales. ? o ARTICLES j_ PICTURES miss^aesefc each es^s. month I POPULAR MECHANICS MAOAZINC I IS FOR SALS BY ALL NEWSDEALERS I Ask thorn to show you a copy or send 20c for tho Intent iMue, postpaid.
