t
Streets Are Lined by Thousands
to See Him Pass on
:Sn Way From Ship
? - V Boston;
Fob. 24.?President Wilson
was the giiest of Boston today
The city was not alone, however, *r
extending1 to the chief executive n
welcome home from his labors at the
Peace Conference, for thousands ol
persons from all parts of New England
arrived on early trains to swell
the throng* in the streets through
which it was arranged he shoul'i
pass on his way from Commonwealth
pier to his hotel.
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.

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.

ANARCHISTS HELD
AS PLOT SUSPECTS
. 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.

SUMTER CHILD KILLED.

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.
She was born Dee. 10, 1910. All
was done that loving hands could do,
but God saw fit to take her away.
Opal was a bright and winning little
girl, and had many friends. She is
survived by her father, mother, and
two small sisters, one grandmother,;
Mrs. Goodman .James, and grand-j
father, and grandmother, Mr. and
Mrs. W. J. Hanna. She was laid to j
rest llit* following day of Cedar
Grove cemetery.
- - - r -*
She is sleeping, only sleeping,
In her new made grave today;
We are weeping, sadly weeping,
For the darling gone away.
She is waiting, only waiting,
For the friends she loved the best;
And she'll gladly hail their coming
To the Mansions of the Hlost.

URGE INQUIRY INTO
GOTTON EXCHANGES
Southern Congressmen Are
Pressing For Action
By Congress.
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.
