1(3 BAD IDOLE HERE
CHARGED WITH ISSUING A
WORTHLESS CHECK
THE MAYOR'S SON
David J. Griffith, Alias J. R. Sis
trunk, Jr., Being Detained in
Andersen on Seri?os Charge
David J. Griffith, alias J. R. Sis
trunk, was under the constant espoln
age of Detective Wiggins of the Thiel
Agency, all day long in Anderson yes
terday and unless some financia' as
sistance comes from Columbia today
Mr. Wiggins will swear out a warrant
for the young man at the instigation of
the Hotel Chlquola, and the youth
will be placed in jail.
It ls said that Griffith came to An
derson some several months ago and
registered at the hotel under his pro
per name, He remained In town sever
al days, with no visible occupation or
means of support, and when he got
ready to leave he paid his bill with a
check on a Columbia bank. The check
amounted to SS and was accepted by
the hotel but when it was sent to Co
lumbia it was returned stamped "no
funds." Since that time the hotel
clerks have had their eyes open for
their much-desired visitor and Tues
day night he blew into town. Going
straight to the Chlquola, he register
ed under the name of J. R. Slstrunk,
Jr. The minute be entered the place
he was recognized by the clerk and
Detective Wiggins was summoned. Mr.
Wiggins took charge of the case and
the young man was notified of the
lix he had gotten into.
All day yesterday was spent in com
municating with Columbia. The young
man is a son of Dr. L. A. Griffith, may
or of Columbia, and a grandson of
Col. D. J. Griffith, superintendent of
the penientiary. Mr. Wiggins :'.formed
them last night that he would have to
have the money to pay up the check
and also to pay the bill incurred on
this visit by the young man or he
would be forced to place the youth in
Jail this morning. Whether or not the
money will come is uncertain, as it
is reported that Griffith has been in
trouble before. It is said that he bas
given worthless chocks on previous
occasions and his had a very atomy
career, during which he served a term
of enlistment in the United States
navy.
Reports have it that there is also
another check in Anderson, issued bv
the same man, and that this too will
have to be attended to before the of
ficers drop the case-.
Griffith is only about 19 years of
age. Judging from his appearance.

SANTIAGO, Chile. Nov. 4.-No word
came today from the British .hips
that engaged the German squadron
oif Coronel Sunday, and the British
pide of the story is yet to be told.
According to German accounts, their
armored cruisers Scharnhorst and
Gnelsenau and light cruisers Nurn
burg, Leipzig and Bremen escaped un
scathed, while the British cruiser
Monmouth was Bunk, the cruiser Good
Hope 'put out of action and the crui
ser Glasgow, with the transport On
tario sent scurrying for shelter in the
neutral port of Tnlcahuano, where
they are bottled up by the Leipzig and
Bremen.
It ls certain the Scharnhorst, Gnels
ennu and Nurnburg arrived safely at
Valparaiso, though somewhat the
worse for their encounter with the
Britishers.
One report is that thc Glasgow, bad
ly damaged, arrived in Coronel Bal,
while the Ontario escaped to Puerto
MontL
Despite the fact thr'. the British
had only three fighting ships against
dive, the decisive British defeat ap
pears to have produced a profound im
pression. The battle took place in a
heavy sea. Th - Germans oponed Are
at 10 kilometers. For a time the Brit
ish shots fell Bhort. but later their
guns H cored a few bits.
The casualties among the German
crews were said to consist of some
half dozen wounded. The German fire
is described as having been excellent,
though at the long range lt required
four hundred hits to put the British
ers out of the fight.
Thc Scharnhorst and Gnelsenau
came from Australia, calling on Oc
tober 14 at Baster Island whe re they
took on large quantities of provisions, j
British mail steamers in Chilean wa
ters are sailing under protection of
Chilean torpedo boat destroyers. j
The German cruisers Scharnhorst, |
Gnelsenau and Nurnburg, which, with
the Leipzic and Bremen, defeated the
British cruisers Monmouth, Good Hope
and Glasgow and the transport Otran
to Sunday afternoon off the Chilean
Island ot St. Maria, were still in the
harbor today, coaling and provision
ing in preparation for steaming away
later. It is supposed they will relieve
the Leipzig and Bremen,-which have
the Glasgow and Otranto bottled up
in Talcahuano.

Admiral von Spec, In bis official re
port of tbe battle aays the action last

"The Good Hope," he says, "was
then so badly damaged she w^s un
able to resist and could only make ber
escape protected by the darkness.
"The Monmouth, under identical
conditions, tried to escape, but was
followed hy a small cruiser and was
sunk with a few shots. Owing to the

THE PRODUCTION OF
CLEAN, SAFE MILK
[Prepare, by dalry division. United States
department ot agriculture.]
Persons engaged in the production of
milk and consum?is interested In pro
curing clean, safe milk will bo inter
ested in the factors for producing the
same as outlined by the United States
department of agriculture in a recent
farmers' bulletin (No. 602), entitled
"Production of Clean Milk." The es
sential factors are outlined ns follows:
Clean, healthy cows kept in clean, light,
well ventilated stables.
Stables BO constructed ?a to be easily
cleaned.
A clean, weU drained barnyard.
Clean utensils, thoroughly sterilized.
Clean, healthy mUkars that milk with
<Sry hands.
A small top mUklng pall.
Immediate cooling of the milk to CO de
crees F. or lower.
Storage of milk at a low temperature j
un tu delivered.
A separat? house for handling the milk.
An abundant supply ot pure water.
Bacteria, according to the bulletin,
find their way into the milk from vnri
ous sources. Soino may come from the j
udder itself, where.they grow in the
milk cisterns and ducts. The greater
number, however, come from the dust
of the air, the dirt from the udder and |
flanks, from the milker and from un
clean utensils. Disease producing bac
