A RELIEF FOR HILLSVILLE. Men AitoUmI in Dos Molnes Yester? day Worst of Their Crowd. Hillsville, Va., Sept. T4.?News of the arrest of Sidna Allen, desperate leader of the notorious clan which for yean terrorized the people of the mountain country of Western Virginia and Wesley Edwards, his nephew, known ai a "had man," brought a tense of relief to ta.s village tonight. These captives, considered the most dangerous Of the entire clan, had been bunted lines March 14 last, when their gang of outlaws "shot up" the Carroll County Court House here, killing the Judge on the bench, the prosecutor, the sheriff, a juror and a woman. Governor William H. Mann moved quickly to satisfy the law's de? mands. All of the fugitives save Sid? na Allen and Wesley Edwards were captured and large rewards were of? fered for their srrest.

Columbia, Sept. 14.?Chairman W. F, Stevenson, of the subcommittee of the Democratic State executive com? mittee, tonight made reply to the let? ter of the Bleaie members of the committee sent the Jones members several days ago calling on them to meet in Columbia on Monday. De? clining to meet the committee here Monday, Chairman Stevenson states that there is no "witnesses to swear at that time, no charges of a tangible na? ture to proceed with and no data eith* er to prove or disprove the charges if tangible." He further states the work must be rfone In a systematic manner and tells |he Bleaie members of the committee *hat he knows "no Jones nor Hlease In this Investigation," but that he is actuated by a sense of duty and wants the investigation thorough and every charge sifted to the' bottom. In his statement, which is addressed to J. D, Blveni, R. M. Jeffries and J. M. Greer, Chairman Stevenson tells them that the way to get through the matter In a speedy and competent manner is to work with the division committees he has appointed them on, gather the evidence and poll lists, and in that way arrange the documents in order. Mr. Stevenson says there is no uso In running to Columbia and spend? ing money needlessly and uselessly, for, he says, these members them? selves say most of the charges of fraud are in the Piedmont section and there the meetings should take place. Mr. Stevenson says he will call a meeting of the full committee, to be held In either Spartanburg or Greenville, certainly not later than the 86th, to go over the documents and evidence that has been gathered. Mr. Stevenson is in Atlantic City, and his reply to the Hlease members of the sub-committee was received here late tonight. MORE COTTON COMING IN.

AND "LEFTIti LOUIE" FOUND IN BROOKLYN. Men Cliargcd wltli Actual Aftiseshm lion of Roscnthnl Kim Down After Painful Effort?In Brooklyn All the While?Surveillance of Wives and Relative? Lends to Their Dis? covery, New York, Sept. 14.?"Gyp the Blood" and "Leftte Louie," the mis? sing gunmen Indicted as two of the actual slayers of Herman Romenthal, the gambler, were found by the po? lice tonight living with their wives in a flat in the Brownsville section <?f Brooklyn. They were arrested by Deputy Police Commissioner Dough? erty and a squad of detectives, who brought them to police headquarters and locked them up. They will be arraigned Monday. The two men had been occupying the fiat since August 15, and were alone until last Tuesday, when they were joined by their wives, through whom clues to their whereabouts were obtained by the police. The four were sitting at tea when Deputy Commissioner Dougherty and hiH men burst open the door of their apartment and with revolvers drawn ordered them to hold up their hands. Neither of the men made any show of resistance. "Drop your guns. You've got us," said "Gyp the Blood" calmly. "Give us a little time to get dress? ed, will you?" said "Leftie," with equal composure. Scarcely another remark was made to the police by either man until they were examined at police headquarters later by Assistant District Attorney Moss, acting for District Attorney Whitman, who has gone to Hot Springs to take testimony of persons who talked to Sam Schopps, a wit? ness in the case. The women, however, made a scene, throwing their arms around their hus? band's neeks and shedding copious tears. They had to be torn away from the men before the police could get their prisoners out of the fipartment, and were later brought to headquar? ters. With the arrest of "Gyp" and "Leftie," whose real names are Harry Horowitz and Louis Itosenweig. all of the seven men accused of the mur? der of Rosenthal, of which Police Lieut. Charles Becker is the alleged instigator, are now in custody. The capture of the two men came as a result of what in regard* d in police circles as the best detective work done in the history of the department. It was the fruit of unbroken surveil lance of the wives and relatives of the men since their disappearance- on the day of the murder. July This surveillance was maintained by sixty detectives working in relays, who kept Deputy Commissioner Dougherty con? stantly in touch with what they did and where they went. The li al clue came as the result of piecing together a number of conver? sations overhead by detectives and reported to the commissioner at dif? ferent times. The lirst conversation was that "they are not lonsesome. be? cause they can see a moving picture show from their back windows." Another conversation gave the in? formation that there was a laundry In the house, where the missing men lived, which was named either the "New Brighton," the "Bright" or the "Brighton Hand Laundry." A third conversation supplied the fact that the neighborhood "was full Of Swedes and Germans." it then became Commissioner Dougherty's task to discover some? where a hand laundry In proximity to a moving picture show in a vicinity inhabited by foreigners of the nation? alities named. The possible name of the laundry was obtained less than two days ago. and the commissioner discovered that there were half a doz? en laundries Of similar names in New York city and many more in Other cities, for the commissioner did not assume that the gunmen were neces? sarily located In New York. ??When we found the laudry with a moving picture show close by, there wa re no Swedes or Germans in the neighborhood," said Mr. Dougherty tonight. "When we found a laundry with th<- foreigners In the neighbor? hood, there was no moving picture show. One of our laundry dues took us to New Haven and \\e wer?' Jie-t about to investigate another In Pitts? burgh." ESarly today Del ?ctlves Meyer and Cassasso discovered In Brooklyn the ! New Brighton Hand Laundry," ! whl< h p< rfeetlj fitted all requirements. rh. \ s.u themselves t.. watch the ipartments situated above the laundrs i nd late In l1 e a fter noon were rewarded by seeing "Oyp the HI.I's" wife leave the building and do an errand al ;i store. Both s'tves had l?een missing since Tuesday when they cleverly evaded dotecttvea bj jumping Into ? waiting automobile after leaving an "L" train on which th. > were rldng In the direc? tion of Harlem. The detectives, there fore, fell certain that they were with their husbands, Tb? women had sev ?ral other times eluded surveillance y th?- use of autotra bilea but pre. - ously had always returned to their tomes in New V'.rk. The arrest f< 1 owed as .soon as ths detectives could ollect relnforcemt nts. ComrnisslonerDougherty said to* night that * <lyp" and "Leftle" hid tied Immediately after the murder to Parkeville, x. v., a summer resort in the Catsklll Mountains, and remained there over ? week. His men had trac? ed them hack to N< w York by their baggage checks but had lost them at tile Hoboken terminal. Where they were between July 2>'>. the date of their arrival, and August 11, the com? mission has not definitely determin? ed. Neither gunman appeared to be in funds, 'Gyp" having only eighteen dollars in his possession and "Leftie" ten. A thorough search of the apart? ment, which was poorly furnished with Uttings, bought, it was learned, on the installment plan, revealed no other valuables, nor were weapons of any kind to be found. Search, how? ever, disclosed the presence of a fifth person in the apartment. Michael Poliehuck, who has a police record as a pickpocket. The man was taken to police headquarters and may be de? tained as a witness. Mr. Dougherty said, on the ground that he might have overheard conversations relative to the Rosenthal murder. CORN CLUB BOYS MF.KT. Com Must Be Harvested Between First and Figlitoenth of October Rules for Harvesting. The Boys' Corn club of Sumter county met in the county court house Saturday afternoon and with a good attendance present, various matters concerning the work of the club mem? bers and the harvesting of the corn this year were discussed. The rules for harvesting are the enme as they were last year practical? ly. Theso were gone over and ex? plained to the boys so that there coula be no misunderstanding about the gathering of the prize acre of corn. It was decided to have the crop harvested between the first and the nineteenth of October. All writ? ten reports concerning the cultivation and growth of the crop must be sent to the county superintendent of educa? tion by the 16th of October. ?"?n the 19th all of the members of the club are to meet at the court house and three corn experts from the department of agriculture will examine twenty ears of corn sent in by each hoy and these will he grad? ed according to their merit in class? es.

Special care will be given to informing tho boys of what kind of corn is best for seed purposes so that they will know how to choose for next year. The two boys making the highest points will be sent to the Boys' Corn school in Columbia, at the Corn Ex? position next year. An effort will also be made to send as many other boys as possible to the corn exposition and the Boys' Corn school although, of course, the two will be the only ones to bo entertained by the corn expo? sition.
