Madison, Wis., Jan. 11.?"The

This Is the gist of the finding of a

A Gaiublli)'* (.inin- Interrupted und
Thlriy Dollar* Faid into the City
Treasury.
From the Dally item. Jan. 12. '
There were only two cases tried in
the Recorder's court this morning
but thefee two cases were triple In
the number of offenders, as there
were three persons tried in each of
the cases. The cases netted a sum of
93? for the city treasury and
the promise of some more.
Richard Rossard, Marcus Rossard
and Harvln Thomas were Interrupted
in a game of "skin" In a residence
down on Bee street last night by Po?
liceman Ward, and -this morning they
were In the Recorder's court to ans?

It seems that Policeman "Ward

? was ii? W>akin* up t^e owwer of tho
horse he came across a house on Bee
street in front of which several horses
and vehicles were standing. He at
once suspected that something Illegal
was going on as the house aus too
well lighted for that time of night.
He heard talking going on within
doors and, as he stepped up to, the
door and was considering the best way
to make his entrance and at the same
time gain the evidence wanted, he
hear Richard Ii >ssard tell someone
to go and see if his horse waS out?

and he heard it being unbarred and
as It was opened ho stepped inside.

RKVNBIKS POINTS Ol T HOW
RAILWAYS MAY KCONOMIZK.
Management, Says Boston Expert, Is
I nseientlflc and Cooperation is
Lucking?Results IMsnstcroiiH.
Washington, Jan. 11.?"We contend
that rates are ample hut that the ex?
pense of operation is excessive; that
wages are not too high, hut that, as
the management is unscientific, labor,
material, equipment and plant fail to
give adequate results. We plead for
the introduction of scientific manage?
ment, under which the railroads shall
get 100 cents for every dollar ex?
pended."
In opening his argument for the
shippers of the Atlantic seaboard be?
fore the interstate commerce commis?
sion today, Loius D. Brandeis of Bos?
ton thus presented the fundamental
reason, in his mind, why freight rates
should not be advanced as proposed
by the railways.
Mr. Brandeis declared tliat no rail?
way had introduced into any of its
departments the principles of scientific
management. Proper methods, he
thougt, would save 3 per cent of the
aggregate cost -or even more.
Cooperation also, in Mr. Brandels*
opinion, would secure reductions in
the cost of steel rails, in the price of
which, he believes, an enormous sav?
ing could be made. He suggested, how?
ever, that no effort was being made
by the railroads to obtain a reduction
of the price of steel rails because of
the financial connections of railroad
officials with the four great steel com?
panies.
"The economies which would result
if all the railroads in the United
State introduced scientific manage?
ment have been estimated at a mil?
lion dollars a day," said Mr. Bran
dels. "This would result in reduc?
ing the present operating cost of the
railroads an average of 20 per cent."
Mr. Brandels concluded his argu?
ment with the declaration that the
railroads of the country were con
trontftd " with the ^greatest opportunity
of their existence, to increase the ef?
ficiency of their labor, equipment and
plants. If they should embrace the
opportunity they would make for
themselves and for the shipping in?
terests of the country and of the
world. If they should not the re?
sult only could he in response to nn
irresistable popular clamor and de?
mand, the government ownership of
railroads of the Cnited States.

DENTAL.
Spartanhurg Y. M. C. A. Secretary
Kills Himself?Ball Entered Right
Kye and Passed Through the Brain
?Only One Cartridge in Weapon.
Spartanhurg, Jan. 10.?Walter
Brooks Abbott, general secretary of
the Young Men's Christian associa?
tion, shot himself in the head while
sitting at his desk a few minutes af
ten noon today and died shortly after?
ward. In the absence of any known
motive for suicide, the corner's jury
found that he "came to his death
from the acidental ?ischarge of a
pistol In his own hands."
There were only three persons in
the Y. M. C. A. rooms when the
shooting occurred, and none of them
saw it. Their attention was attracted
by the pistol shot. They saw Mr.
Abbott fall to the floor and rushed to
rjis aid. One of them, Geo. I. Sar
gcant, a traveling man of Maxton,
N\ C.i ran out for a physician and
found Dr. Hugh R, Black who was
passing along Magnolia street. Dr.
Black found Mr. Abbott lying on the
floor in a pool of blood. A pistol lay
beside him. The wounded man's
heart ceased to beat in about ten min?
utes after Dr. Black came In.
The ball entered Mr. Abbott's right
eye, passed through the brain and was
removed^ in a flattened condition from
underneath the skin in the back of
his head.
N. G. Genoble, a clerk for the Spar?
tan Hardware company, testified at
the inquest that Mr. Abbott bought
the pistol on December 28, saying
he wanted it for the protection of his
wife and sister-in-law who were fre?
quently alone at his home on the
Glendale car line.
Prof. Hugh T. Shockley, physical
director of the Y. M. C. A. told of
having been shown the pis'ol by Mr.
Abbott one day last week. Mr. Abbott
also told him that he bought the pis?
tol Cor his wife's protection during his
absence.
There was only one shell in the pis?
tol when it was picked up after the
accident and only one cartridge was
missing from the box of 50 which
Mr. Abbott bought at the same time
he acquired the pistol.
W. J. White, the sheriff, yald that,
in his judgment, the pistol had been
hied Silly once. It was an automatic
revolver, and Mr. White, who has had
j < onsiderable experience with firearms
said that when loaded it was a dan?
gerous weapon for an expert to
handle and extremely dangerous for
one who knew nothing about the
workings of such a pistol.
Mr. Abbott's funeral will take place
Thursday. The burial will be held
here.

Columbia, Jan. 12.?Ths Horning

ths announcement of the resignation
of Mr. Qeo. E. Koester, long a fa?
miliar newspaper man comet the
suggestion that The Horning News
lias given up the ghost.
Those having the m w enterprise In
hand allowed the psyt holocial mo?
ment to pass by, anyway, and there
is less demand for a new paper now
than ever before, After ths heat of
a political Campaign, and while the
victors were still In s lighting mood,
was the time for starting the paper,
j but the advantage was allowed to
slip. Mr. Koester's retirement from
the management leaves the corpor?
ation Wl boat a head. The company
had ordered a number of lynotype
machines and a thrlty-two page
press, and some money must have
been paid down on the contract. How
the affairs of the < .m??uny will be ad?

and "Junketing" Habit Threshed
Out?Winthrop Invitation Accept?
ed?In House S|>ouker Smith An?
nounces Committee Appointments.
Both Bodies Hear Governor Ansel's
Last Message, which was Properly
Referred.
Columbia, Jan. 12.?The suggest?
ion has already been made that the
General Assembly confine itself to a
thirty-day session, instead of extend?
ing over forty days, as in previous
years. The matter was brought up
today by Senator W. L. Mauidin, the
President pro tern of the Senate,
from Greenville, on consideration of
an invitation to visit Winthrop Col?
lege. Senator Mauidin said he be?
lieved the work of the session could
be accomplished in thirty days if
the members got down to work. What
Mr. Mauidin says should have great
weight, for he has been in the Legis?
lature for years, and presided over
the Senate when he was Lieutenant
Governor and formerly as president
pro tern of the Senate. He has been
chairman of the finance committee of
the Senate also, which position he
was re-elected to yesterday. The
Winthrop invitation was accepted.
On the second day of the session in
the Senate there were a number of im?
portant measures introduced. These
include the amendment proposed to
the child labor bill; the reappcrtion
ment of the House delegations in ac?
cordance with the census of 1910; the
fifth Justiceship measure, and a bill
of Senator Lide's relative to the ju?
dicial circuits of the State.
Senator Lide, of Orangeburg, in?
troduced the reapportionment meas?
ure. This takes effect, when passed,
after the next general election.
The following counties, explained
Mr. Lide, lose one Representative
each: Charleston. Berkel? y, v3eau
fort, Alken, Chester and Fairfleld.
The following counties gain one
member each: Anderson, Greenville,
Spartanburg, Orangeburg, Dillon and
Rlchland.
The bill provides for the following
representation:

Wllllamsburg 3. York 4.
Senator Wharton Introduced an out
of the ordinary measure today. It
! would require weights and rates to
be inserted in hills of lading in ship?
ments of goods over the railways.
The bill provides that the hills of
lading must contain the weight of
the package shipped and the rate
must be per hundred pounds or per
ton In accordance with the class of
goode shipped.
The child labor measure Introduc?
ed today by Senator Weston provides
that sixteen years shall he the limit
for work at night in the mills as to
children, and all exemptions for chil?
dren under twelve, as contained in
the previous law, are cut out.
Senator Carlisle, if a bill he in?
troduced today passes, would make
injury from automobile to property
cause a lien upon the vehicle. Such
a measure was introduced last session.
The car could then be attached in
case of an automobile collision, or
such, and the owner would be with?
out his car, provided he Is not able
to take It out of the hands of the law.
