AMERICAN BANKS FUSE. Ill .1 HCT H< III Mi: FOIl (il XUW MMN?. Hll.l.s OF LADING. Declare BrltNh Proposal ?. I'nsound l iiDum and Stand by v ultdatlon" Certificate. New Turk. Sept. 15.?American bankers decided here today that they can not assent to the plan for guar? anteeing bills of lading proposed by British bankers Instead they as? serted their Independence, denounced the British proposal as unsound finance and insisted on their own plan of a ''validated certificate." Yesterday a committee of London and conti? nental bankers announced their re? fusal to accept American cotton bills after October SI without American "bank guarantee." Today a commit tss of the American Bankers' associa? tion put Itself on record after s long session In the following cable: "We deeply regret your decision and can not but feel that It was raached through misapprehension. We have accomplished much in securing the validation certificate, thus placing the baslness on a safe basis. Furth? er consideration of bankers' guaran? tee is absolutely out of the question, being incompatible with correct bank log principles. This is Una'.. Situation could not be changed by our commit? tee going to London, but of course we would welcome your deputation In New York, where all data and In? formation are obtainable and where railway and cotton people also could be h*ard. We are confident this would lead to s better understanding with mutually satisfactory results." The Protestants. The bankers who formulated the foregoing reply are: William Loree Frew, vice president of the Corn Rxchange bank; William H. Porter, president of the Chemical National bank; O. S. Thome, vice president of the National Park bank; F. J. Kent, vice president of the Bankers' Trust company, and vice presidents Oardln and Talbert of the National City bank. Their action is reported to be unanimous and their attitude Is said to have the unquali? fied Indorsement of every bank in the Clearing House association. Their decision is of great import? ance not only to the cotton interests of the South and of New York, but to the railroads and business In gen? eral. It terminates a long debaie In which all the evils of the present system and the defects of the various remedies proposed have been set forth In full. < harlcHton's Vote. The persuasion that tht cause of local option was at stake, a resent rnen' of unnecessarily revere criti? cisms of conditions in this city by Mr. Featherstone, and effective organ? isation of local political forces, were expected to score a Bleass majority In Charleston, but the sweeping vote recorded yesterday went beyond the natural production of even such a : combination of circumstances. It was due to the fact that the liquor n through nearly twenty years mi contention, has become an obses? sion with tl pie of this ity, and It Is impossible to shake even many ?'f the best people of Charleston In the belief that upon that one lssu*? ud* the fortune of the commu i its. and that no other consideration Js worth while, when this Is before them.

London, Ky., Sept. 16.?By a decls hre majority of more than 7.000 vote* Caleb Powers defeated Congressman oPn C. Edwards for the Republican nomination for representative from the Eleventh district of Kentucky in a primary election today. At the headquarters of Congress? man Edwards in this city it was con? ceded early tonight that Powers had carried all but four of the 19 counties which comprise the district. Powers was thrice tried and con? victed on the charge of murdering <3ov. Ooebel. Each verdict was set aside on appeal. Gov. Wilson recently granted Powers a pardon. SUPERVISOR HAS AUTO. Granted Him by Board at Their Last Meeting. At the last meeting of the County Board it was decided that Supervisor Pitts should be furnished with an automobile, a decision whieh should have been made several years ago. As Is well known the chain gang is divided into a number of minor work? ing gangs. For instance there are the road gang, the bridge building gang and others, and until the auto was granted, Supervisor Pitts was kept busy travelling from one place to another, having but Utile time to sp? nd at e?<-v. nlace. As is well known, also, the County is now thinking seriously of the mat? ter of having good roads, and when this work of covering the county with I system of good roads begins In earnest, the necessity for the Super? visor's having an auto will be observ? ed more than ever. The auto furnished Mr. Pitts by UM hoard is a Ford roadster, 1911 model. The auto was purchased by the county from Mr. T. B. Jenkins at a cost of $887.50. and it will no doubt prove well worth the price paid. Several other counties In the State have furnished their Supervisor with automobile to take the place of horse power and the County Board is to be congratulated for their realization of this long needed change. Wife and Country. Paul D. Cravath said at a lunch con at the Lawyer's Club: "Vacation time is here, and al? ready that song about the wife gone to the country is being resurrected. "But a variant to the song was furnished by a conversation I over? heard the other night. " 'Hello, Smith, said one man to another, 'I'm glad to see you back at the club again, old fellow. Wife off to the country, eh?" " 'No.' Smith growled. 'She's got back.' "?Washington Star. From Missouri. An attorney was addressing a jury on l>ehalf of a prisoner.

GANNON RENOMMlf.il. CONGRESSMAN BOTJTELL DE? FEATED IN ILLINOIS. Leo O'Xeil Browne, Under Bribery Charge, Renomineted for state Honee of Representative! by Dem ocrata Congressman Foss Running Neck Race With "Progressiv?*" Op l>onent. Chicago. Sept. IT).?The renomina tlon of Speaker Cannon and the neek and-neck race being given Congress? man Geo. E. Foss. by his "progress? ive" opponent, as indicated in early returns were features of today's pri i maries in Illinois. The vote cast in the ten Congress? ional districts in Cook County, Chi- , cago, was remarkably light, not more I than a quarter of the vote on the i registration books being cast. The I down-State vote was much heavier. Early returns Indicated the re j nomination of Lee O'Nell Browne to ; the 8tate House of Representatives, and also that E. O. Shurtleff, Re? publican, and Speaker of the House, against whom a determined factional fight has been waged. Browne was recently acquitted of a charge of having bribed a State Representative to vote for Wm. Lorimer for United States Senator. Early returns also indicated the renomlnation of Ira O. Copeley by the Republicans of the Tlth Congress? ional district, over Geo. W. Conn, Jr. This, however, is not conceded by friends of Conn, who claim the dis? trict by about 300, as against Cope ley's claim of 1.000 plurality. The fight in this district has been one of the fiercest in the State. Conn is said to have been backed by the so-called "standpat" element. while his opponent declared himself an out and out "progressive." The defeat of H. S. Boutell, after many years in Congress, by F. H. Ganzbergen, who announced himself as a "progressive," caused little sur? prise locally. The regular Repubican organization refused to endorse Bou I tell on the ground that his record as I a "standpatter" would insure Demo? cratic success if he were nominated. Gazbergen ran about 2,000 ahead of him. As Indicating the sentiment of the district. Arthur West, also a progressive," but running almost alone, polled more than 1,000 votes which go to swell the progressive list. The closeness of the fight in the 10th district came as a surprise to most students of the campaign. While Mr. Foss, who is chairman of the committee on naval affairs, has al? ways voted with the "regulars" at Washington, he stated in his cam? paign speeches some months ago he had informed Mr. Cannon that he felt free to reserve his decision as to how he shall voe in the next Speak ership contest. G. P. Englehard campaign on an mistakable "pro? gressive" platform, and attacked the present Congressman on his record on the tariff and as a supporter of Cannon. Forty-three precincts out of 147 In the district gave Englehard 1.092 votes, against 1.041 for Mr. Foss. CIIFHOKFKS ON WARPATH. Indian Brings Tale of Terror From North Cnrolian.

Rumored That Another Paper Will Be Established. Columbia, Sept. 15.?It is reported here that another morning paper is to enter the Columbia field and that it will start business with at least $2 50,000. Geo. R. Koester, a former newspaper man, was asked about the matter, and said that such a move was in contemplation, though he did not claim to be on the "inside" of the new enterprise. If the paper is established it will not be the organ of the administration, it is claimed, but will simply print the news.
