FOR ARRESTS HERE
TWENTY IN CHARGE
I Bum Vv hiies and Blacks Were
Rounded Up Yesterday On
Only Two Charges
lt may not be a record for the Staio
but Sheriff Ashley certainly made a
record for Anderson county yesterday
when he rounded ui> twenty offenders
in Heiser and Helton and brought them
to the Anderson county jail. About
half of these are negroes while Hie
remainder are white men and there
arc only two charges-selling liquor
and gambling. The Sheriff and his
deputies have been busy for the past
few day? in securing evidence in va
rious cases and yesterday tiley were
ready to act. They secured the war
ran.s and hit tho trail for Pelzer and
Helton with thc result that the Ander
don county jail was entertaining more
guests last night than for some time.
ll was impossible to obtain last
night a complete list of ali, the charge?
but tho following is some of the cases
to bu seen on the docket in Magis
trate's court today:
For Beliing whiskey: George John
son. Forest Fant, WIM Burns, Slick
Pollard, E. C. Pepper, Colbert Clink
scales. Gambling: .Hm Campbell,
John Campbell, Bert Compton, Oscar
Lewis, Will Burns, Colbert Clink
scales, Waddy Compton, Orange Mat
tison.
Tom Wall, charged with larceny
and wanted in Georgia for that crime,
was caught in the net and is now in
thc jail, awaiting the arrival o? the
Ccorgla officials. James A. Williams
and Bass Williams were also among
the late arrivals, both ot them being
charged with breach of the peace, car
rying pistols, and almost everything
else mat one could Imagine. Waddy
Compton was brought over from Bel
ton on a charge of non-support of his
family. There were several other
.charges lodged against various mem
bers of the party brought in yester
day and almost all of them will have
to answer for two misdemeanors at
least.
Two prisoners were also sent to An
derson yesterday from Federal court
at Greenville to serve their terms.
These were Perry Aiken, convicted of
making liquor and sentenced to three
months In the Anderson jail and Mar
low Darby, likewise convicted ot mak
ing liquor and sentenced to six months

WILSON ACTS AFTER COLO
RADO GOVERNOR ASKS
FOR THE TROOPS
MINE STRIKE IS ON
President Explains That Federal
Side In Controversy
Washington, April 28.-President
Wilson today extended thc protecting
arm of the federal'govcrnment to the
State of Colorado, where because of
riots and pitched battles between
strikebreakers and striking miners,
Governor Ammons bud found the state
militia unable to cope with the situa
tion and asked for helo.
The Colorado delegation in* congress,
minc owners and miners; themselves
joined in the request.
It was one of the rare occurrences
in American history when a State
found itself impotent to assert its au
thority, but the president. In a tole-,
gram to the Colorado governor, ex-!
pressly stipulated that the Federal
troops would confine themselves io
maintaining order only "until the State
can re-asBcrt Its authority and resume
tl; . supreme control."
Troops To Scene.
Secretary Garrison ordered three
troops of the Fifth Cavalry from Fort
Leavenworth and two troops of the
12th Cavalry from Fort D. A. Ruase!!
Wyo-jing to Trinidad and Canon City,
respectively.
Colorado members of congress say
the mere presence of Federal troops
will prevent rioting. Efforts of the
Rederai ?"?v^ament to settle the
strike, thus, tar have tailed. On this
point the president made lt clear that
Federal troops were being sent mere:y
to preserve order and not to interfere
jin the strike controversy itself.
"I shell not, hy the use of the
troops," the president wired Governor
Am mon s todsy, "or ?by any attempt at
jurisdiction, inject the power of the
federal government into the contro
versy which has produced the present
situation. The settlement of that cou*
troverey falls strictly within the field
of state power." ; "
The president asked that the militia
bo withdiawn temporarily Until the
legislature, which wilt meet Monday.
' considers the situation and arranges
for lt to resume tte police duties in
the State.

TWO MOTHERS
CLAIMED CHILD
Court Gave Him To One and
Jury Convicta Man Who
Stole Him I
-
(By Associated Press)
in district court in the trial of W. C.
Opelousaa, La., April 27.-"Guilty
without capital punishment" was the
verdict returned by the jury herc today
against Walters, Itinerant tinker,
charge with kidnapping five year old
Robert Dunbar. Under the lawB of
Loutsana the verdict ls equivalent to
life imprisonment.
Boy Claimed by Twp.
The verdict legally determines the
identity of the boy taken from Walt
ers at the time o rbis arrest and le
gally clears a mystery that presented
many unusual phases, including the
ability of a mother to identify ber
own son. It means that the youth
claimed as their son will remain m the
home of Mfr, add Mrs. C. P. Dunbar
here, where ho lias been ; since the
arrest xjf~"Walters more ttfan-H" >ear
agb, and that Julia Anderson, now
iii in ? N?w Orleans hospital, was
mistaken when she ' testified at the
trial that the boy was her own.
'* Look Like Vioicuce.
The jury deliberated from ll o'clock
this morning, at which time Judge
Pavy had concluded the delivery of
his charge and the jury had retired.
Thc day bad been ono of much ex
citement. Sheriff Swords had placed
guns in the parish, jail, in order to bc
prepared for any emergency.
The finding o fthe jury does not end
the litigation. Ccunsul for Walters
have announced that if the usual mo
tion for a new trial is overruled they
will appeal to the State Supreme
Court.
Walters was arrested April 20, 1913,
nearly eight months after Robert Dun
bar disappeared from a Ashing camp
cn the hanks of Lake Swayze. At the
time of his arrest he was accompan
ied by a boy who Mr, aad Mrs. C. F
Dunbar and identified as their lot.,
j chichi, but who Walters claimed was
I Bruce Anderson, Illegitimate son of
Julia Anderson. He claimed the wom
! an had entrusted the boy to his care,
I and she ' later identified him a's her
I son.
Two States Interested, .. ..
So much doubt existed as to tho
identify or the boy taken from thc
? tinker that Governor Brewer of Miss
issippi., refused to honor the requis'
! Hon of the governor.ot Louisiana f'.r
thc return of Walters to that State
until he had held a test. John M.
Parker of Kew Orleans, appointed by
Governor Brewer to represent him in
thc inquiry, after hearing the testi
mony of a number of persons, ruled
that the boy waa Robert Dunbar.
Governor Brewer then honored the
requisition, but attorneys for Walters
appealed to tito supreme court of Mip
sippi, which on January 12. 11)14, or
dered thc extradition of WfKtrs to
Opelousas for tr hi. : the trial began
here April 13.

POWDERED MILK.
Kew Trade Wrinkle Expected to Pat
the Milkman Out of Business.
(From the New York Sun.)
Milk from Normundy in powdorod
form wil be introduced in- the New
York market within a month by Jas.
R. Hatmaker of Paris, who was for a
number of years secretary of tho
late Cornelius Vanacrbilt. The pow
dered milk will be shipped here in
tins and sold directly to the consum
er from a central distributing point.'
Mr. Hatmaker has developed a pro
cess of manufacture and extracting.of
the water from the milk without add
ing or taking away anything, 'rom
milk, itself. .When tho.water is added
again, the milk is tho same ab before
except that tho-milk, has been steriliz
ed in tho process. It taste'* tho same
and cream wil riso on H and lt can
ho kept without Ice for several
months.
Dry milk, Mr. Hatmaker believes,
will revolutionize tho milk industry
He thinks bottlod milk will be a rar
ity within a few years. He has been
at St. Regis arranging for'the Baie of
his product in New York. Boforo be .
sailed yesterday on the Lusitania, to
get tho first shipment ready, he said:
"I am going to supply New York
with milk of the highest grade from
tho world renonwned pastures of Nor
mandy at 8 cents a 'quart. This is
possible, owing to the new process of
dairying milk free, and to the new par.

"Thu Normundy milk will be known
as ambrosia dry milk and will be sold
I In carefully packed boxes, represont
; lng 12 1-2 quarts by the Ambrosia
Milk Corporation of 120 Liberty st. '
"I believe the public, will be quick .
to -appreciate milk in the dry form.
Tho greatest milk experts and hygien
ists in the world are convinced that
before 20 years have passed, liquid
milk, on account, of its dangers, will
not be allowed in large cities, i
- "The new rapid high temperature,
process of drying milk kills all .dis
ease germs found in the liquid milk,
and the dry milk cannot communicate
tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Dry
milk is not only safe but lt keeps with,
out Ice like sugar and flour and thore
is no waste tn its use. It does not
Bour and'does not have to be delivered
a quart at a time.
.if anyone doubts the future of the
dry milk, let him think how it would
be If Buger were sold In 'bottles In tbe
form of a thin soup, as it is yielded
by nature or even In the form of ta-,
hie syrup. How much would Its price
be increased and its usc limited?
"WV? have now passt-1 the bottle

there will be no milk problem any
more than thore ls now a sugar prob
