Washington. Sept. 24.?Mayor
John 1\ Grace, of Charleston, today
personally presented to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives a
petition asking for an investigation of
the right of Congressman Richard S.
Whaley to his seat, and making
sweeping charges against Mr. Wha?
ley in connection with his nomina?
tion last spring and his expense state?
ments to the clerk of the house. Al?
though the petition urged that a apc
? ia ? ommittee he appointed to make
the Investigation, (speaker Clark re?
ferred the paper in the routine way
to the elections committee, and it was
n >t mentioned at all in the proceed?
ings of the day. The full text of the
.inenf idci h> Mayor Grace is as
follows:
' To the Honorable, the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, and the
Congress of the 1'nlted States: The
petition of your petitioner respect?
fully shows:
"First. That he is the Mayor of the
<"ity of Charleston, and a duly quali?
fied eeb tor ?: the 1st Congre?doual
dint riet of South Carolina; that for
many years he has been closely iden ?
tified with the Democratic party, tak?
ing part In its club meetings, conven?
tions, primaries, and in the election
of its candidates; by reason of wh!ch
he has gained an Intimate knowledge
of the politics of his section, and is
qualified to swear that the allegations
hereinafter made either on personal
knowledge or on information and he?
llet are true.
"Second. That heretofore to wit,
on the 31st day of January. 1913, the
Hon. George S. Legare, lato Repre?
sentative In Congress from the 1st
dkntrict of South Carolina died, leav?
ing a vacancy In Congress.
"Third. That thereafter, to wit. on
th.- 4th day of February, 1913. Rich?
ard S. Whaley announced his candi
f to till said vacancy, and began
a canvass for the Democratic nomina
i, simultaneously circulating
oughout the district, as your pe
uttonAr is Informed and believes, thnt
whoever entered the race must be pre?
pared to out-spend him in money, in?
telligence of which speedi y resolved
the campaign Into one of urprecedent
ed vote-selling.
"Fourth. That at stated times be?
fore and after any primary or elec?
tion for Congress, each candidate Is
required by Federal law to tile cer?
tain sworn statements of expenses,
etc.. showing thnt the cost of such
primary and election has not exceeded
$6,000 In the aggregate. In pursuance
of which Mr. TThaley filed four state?
ments now on the tile in the office of
the clerk of the House of Representa?
tives, reference to which is hereby
craved as often as may be necessary,
and which are hereby made part of
this petition.
"Fifth. That the 1st Corrgresrlon
al dtntrlet of South Carolina la com?
posed! of five counties, Inhabited pre?
ponderantly by negroes; for the ex

ties It Is the custom by common con?
sent for white men to lettle their
differences in the Democratic primary;
the nomination In whl- h is equivalent
to sn ele tton. that there were In
round numbers but twelve thousand

Seventh. That in Ming such i re
ments Mr. Whaley, in each instance,
wilfully and knowingly made oath
? administered by a person permitted
by law to administer such oath,) to
the truth of something which he
knew was absolutely false; and that
such wilfully and knowingly false
oaths were made only because to
state the truth would be to exclude
him from qualifying and taking his
seat in Congress.
"Eighth. That Section 33, of the
Criminal Code of South Carolina is as
follows ;
"Whoever shall, willfully and know?
ingly, swear falsely in taking any oath
required by law. and administered by
any person directed or permitted by
law to administer such oath, shall be
deemed guilty of perjury, and, on con?
viction, Incur the pains and penalties
of that offencce.'
"That your petitioner, alleges that
under the plain meaning of said sec?
tion, and under th? decisions of the
Supreme Court of South Carolina, Mr.
Whaley, by tilling his wilfully and
knowingly false sworn statements in
order to obtain his seat in Congress,
committed four sepirate and deliber?
ate and felonious perjuries.
"Ninth. That Mr Whaley now sits
In Congress, therefore, because he
openly bought his nomination and
el Thon by going out upon the high?
ways and byways and debauching the
electorate, and by using over twelve
times as much as the maximum of
money allowed by law, in avoidance of
the consequences ol which he after?
wards committed fcur felonious per?
juries.
"Wherefore, your petitioner prays
that the matter of Mr. Whaleys right
to his seat in Congress be investigat?
ed, and that he be expelled from that
body if the allegations contained in
this petition be found to be true and
for such other further relief in the
premises as to your honorable body
may seem .4ust.

"Personally appeared before me.
John P. Grace, who made oath that
the foregoing petition is true of his
own knowledge except as to such mat?
ters as are therein alleged upon in
formation and belief and as to those
matters ho believes to be true.

TISSUE OF MKS, KAYS WIIALKY.
CongTessniaii Declares Mayor is Ac
mated hy lVrsoiml Hostility.
Washington, September 24.?When
Mr. Whaley was asked about the pe?
tition filed by Mayor J. P. Grace, he
characterized the allegations as a tis?
sue of lies from beginning to end.
Continuing Mr. Whaley said:
"The people of South Carolina and
the City of Charleston know this to
be a fact, if for no o.her reason than
that the allegations are fathered by
Mayor Grace, whose reputation as a
character thief, and whose vile oppo?
sition to me, politically and personal?
ly, is well known to the people of the
State and district.
"The man whom I defeated for the
nomination, Mr. Hughes, had mode no
protest, although he could have made
such a protest to the State board of]
canvassers, and the House of Repre?
sentatives in the proper way. If he is
complaining, his complaint has not
been made known, and I take it that
he, the real man In interest, who nat?
urally knew beat the situation, has a< ?
uulesced In my nomination and elec?
tion, otherwise he would be the con?
testant in this matter.
"I confess no surprise at the action
of Mayor Grace; he is my political and
I personal enemy, the personal and po?
litical enemy of my family for year.s
and it Is another evidence of the vln
dlctlve and unrelenting character of
thu man who happens, by accident to
b? the Mayor of Charleston. Mayor
Grace has an unorganl'.ed and insane
mind, thinks like a bouse atlre and is
about as deHtructive and Illogical. lie
has ambitlen and loves power as much
as any man I have ever seen. He is
a ehronle olllee-seeker, having run fnr
tin- State Senate and being overwhelm?
ingly defeated, lie then ran for sher?
iff, and Was overwhelmingly defeated
by the people of bis own county, who
knew him beat Then my brother-ln
law, Bx?afayor R? Qoodwln Rhett, was
< andldatf for the United States Sen?
ate, ami Mr. Ora< e entered th" race
with the avowed purpose only ol de?
feating my brother-in-law. He can
i laaad every county in the state, and
yet bis purpose was so plainly vin
dietive and vituperative that his to
1 tal rots <iid not exeeed two thoueand
m the entire state. He than ran for
Mgyoff of the City of Charleston and
by every gfttfloe known to the dem i
gogne, and by every appeal to pasalotl
and prejudice, succeeded in winning
tin: poaltlon by one hundred and
eight) Votes He has I ever been, ami
11 net HOW, the < hotOS of the pro
gresalve business people of the Cl v
of Charleston. He is a disturber, at <i
g dangerous l< onoelnat, who seeks
tear down, without pointing out how
la build up.
"Ills apposition to me Is not sur
prising, for 1 have tcgarded his meth?
ods as dangerous and have, there?
fore, opposed them with all the
strength of which I am possessed. His
campaign against me last spring was
vicious, vile and evidently moved by j
personal hostility to me and my fam- J
lly. His candidate was defeated by
a clear majority of the untrammeled
Democracy of the district, and his ac?
tion at this time is an evidence of
the fact that he is disgruntled, sore,
desperate and willing by implication
to befoul his own nest.
"As far as I am concerned, I re?
gret that these dirty and malicious
charges should be filed against me,
but I shall not let them interfere with
my efficiency as the Representative of
the.1st district. My eleven years as
a Representative m the State Legis?
lature of South Carolina; my four
years as the chairman of the judiciary
committee of that body; my one year
as Speaker pro tern, and four years as
Speaker of that body, are evidence of
the esteem and respect and confi?
dence in which I am held by the peo?
ple 1 of South Carolina. Trie further
evidence of this esteem is shown in
my unanimous election as president
of the State Democratic Convention in
1910 and my election last year as a
delegate to the Baltimore Conven?
tion.
"The charges of Mayor Grace are
irritating, naturally, but those who
understand the situation and know
the facts, realise that they are in?
spired by the desperation of a man
whose admitted ambition whs to come
to Congress, and who realizc? that my
election destroys absolutely the pros?
pect of the realization of that ambit
Ion. He is merely playing a hand
guided by a mind obsessed and in
saned by personal hostility to me, and
I am willing and ready to rest, my
case upon the facts."

Jury in Famous Cahlwell vs. Briggs
Will Case Finds for Contestants.
Manning, Sept. 25.?The Court of
Common Pleas convened hera Monday
morning with Judge T. S. Sease, pre?
siding.
The ilrst case tried was that of Da?
vid and Abe Levi, Kxors. vs. M. L
Bochette, which, being uncontested,
was shortly disposed of.
The next case was the famous will
case of Caldwell vs. Briggs. The jury
went into their room at ('?.15 Wednes?
day evening and were unable to agree
until the noon recess yesterday, and
then returned a verdict for the con?
testants of the will. The property in?
volved under this will Is said to be
worth in the neighborhood of sixty
thousand dollars, being valuable lands
in and near the little town of Sum
merton. On the first trial in the
Probate Court, it was held to be no
will. The case was appealed to the
Circuit Court, where it resulted in a
mistrial the first time, and this time
the contestants win again, it, by the
verdict, being established as no will.
Notice of motion for a new trial has
been given but not yet argued.
The case of Hardy against School

TO CONSIDER GRACE CHARGE.
COMMITTEE OX ELECTIONS TO
HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION
TODAY TO DISCUSS
MATTER.,
Possible That Charges May l>e Ignor
ed, but Prolmble that Charleston
Mayor will He Asked to Produce
Affidavits Showing Grounds for In
vestlgatlon.
Washington, Sept. 25.?Little else
was discussed among the members of
the South Carolina delegation In con?
gress today but the appointment of a
district attorney and a marshal and
the petition which John P. Grace,
mayor of Charleston, today filed with
Speaker Clark, attacking the right of
Representative R. S. Whaley of the
First district to a seat in the house.
Regarding the latter matter, it wafi
learned tonight that the house com?
mittee on elections, of which Repre?
sentative Post of Ohio is chairman,
will hold its first meeting tomorrow.
While neither Mr. Post nor any other
of the members of the committee
would talk for publication, it was as?
certained that the meeting will be
an "executive session" and thai
neither Mayor Grace nor Representa?
tive Whaley will be present.
The meeting will be for the purpose,
it is understood, of hiving the com?
mittee decide, if possible, whether the
petition filed by Mayor Grace shall
be investigated or whether it shall be
ignored. It is realized that the method
pursued by the Charleston mayor is
out of the ordinary, he not being a
contestant but a Protestant. Had the
case been one of the regular kind
when a man who is defeated contests
the seat of the man who was his op?
ponent, the matter would be easy of
solution, but in the present instance
Mr. Grace, not having been in the
race for the house from the First
South Carolina district, comes in as
one protesting and not contesting.
When the committee meets tomor?
row the petition filed by Mr. Grace
will first be considered and it is not
unlikely that after deliberation Mr.
Grace will be asked to produce ulfi
davits upon which he bases his'
charge? that Mr. Whaley is disquali?
fied to sit. in the house. Just, what
decision the committee r/ill reach
after its preliminary meeting is not
yet known nor will it become known
until the preliminaries incident to the
matter have been fully discussed.
Mr. Whaley gave out his reply to
the charges last night and Mr. Grace
today said that he had nothing further
to say regarding the matter at this
time.
COMMENT n CHARLESTON.
Grace charges Cause Much Talk on
the Streets.
Char'eston, Sept. 25.?Mayor Grace
was not at his office today. His secre?
tary was absent at the time and at his
hotel no one knew just when the
mayor was expected to return from
Washington.
The filing by Mayor Grace with the
speaker of the house of representa?
tives of charges against Congressman
R. S. Whaley is a source of much
comment on the streets. The action
on the part of the mayor did not come
unexpectedly, as it had been known
for some time that he would take
such a step.
PRINCETON UNIVERSITY OPENS.
Princeton, N. J., Sept. 25.?Prince?
ton University formally opened its
167th academic year this afternoon.
The formal opening of graduates col?
lege will take place October 22.
Among the changes in the faculty
announced was that of Prof. Pierre
Houtroux, of the University of Poitiers,
and a nephew of President Polncare,
of France, who will take the chair of
mathematics.
HARRISON TO SEE EMPEROR.
Governor General of Philippines Wins
Jard Race to Keep Ills Appoint*
nient.
Tokyo, Sept. 27.?Francis llurton
Harrison of New York, newly appoint?
ed governor general of the Philip*
pines, won a hard race today to keep
his appointment for an audience with
the emperor of Japan.
Thu steamship Manchuria, on
Which Mr. and Mrs. Harrison sailed
from San Francisco September 10, was
delayed by f< Mr. Harrison landed
quickly, but just missed the boat
train. He caught Jin express to Tokyo
and on arrival proceeded by automo?
bile to the palace with the Am rtcanl
ambassador, George \V. Guthrie,
reaching there exactly at the ap?
pointed time.
The Japanese court broke all prece?
dents in arranging In advance the au?
dience between the emperor and Mr.
Harrison, in order that the latter
might rejoin his steamer at Kobe to?
morrow and continue bis voyage to
Manila. This breaking of precedent
was countenanced, according to pal?
ace announcement, "as a special ex?
pression of friendship for the United
States."
COMMITTEE DEMANDS THAT
CHARLESTON MAYOR HE
MORE SPECIFIC IN HIS
CHARGES,
Committee Does not Think Allega?
tions Contained in Petition Suffi?
cient to Warrant an Investigation,
and will Tako up Matter Later
when Grace Gets More Proof?Wha?
ley to Have Keply Before an In?
vestigation is Ordered.
Washington, Sept. 26.?There was
only one event of importance that de?
veloped here today regarding the pe?
tition filed by Mayor Grace of Char?
leston a day or two ago against Rep?
resentative Richard S. Whaley of the
First district. When the house com
mHtee on elections met this morning
in "executive" session Mayor Grace
was present. After the committee
had read the petition in which Mr.
Whaley is charged with having spent
about $60,000 t0 secure his seat in the
house, and to have openly purchased
votes, it was agreed that Mr. Grace
b* called upon to make his allegations,
now on file with the committee, more
specific and exact. In other words,
the committee thought that the al?
legations contained in the petition
were not sufficient of themselves to
cause the matter to be taken up in
regular order and that to do so Mr.
Grace should file more data showing
where Mr. Whaley or his friend , spent
the money alleged to have been used
in his campaign, to whom paid, and
where and when. Mr. Grace said he
would be ready with this additional
data tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock,
whereupon the committee adjourned
to meet at that time. If Mr. Grace
presents to the committee tomorrow
the affidavits which have been asked
of him, they will be carefully ex*
a '?ned and should appear that the
case needs further investigation Mr.
Whaley will then be permitted to file
his affidavits in reply to those of Mr.
Grace. The issue will then be joined
and the committee will act much as a
judge on the bench who sustains the
complaint or grants a nonsuit when
it is faulty under the law either by
reason of not stating fe.cts necessary
to constitute a cause of action or for
other reasons.
If, on the contrary, after Mr.
Whaley has replied to Mr. Grace, It is
believed that there is sufficient cause
of action in the petition of Mr. Grace
the investigation will then begin at
such times and under such circum?
stances as to the committee may seem
right and proper.
While Mr. Grace said to the com?
mittee that he would be ready to pro?
ceed tomorrow, there is doubt if he
will have enough affidavits on hand
to give the committee what it wants,
unless he already has them with him
in Washington. On this point he has
nothing to say for publication and in?
formed The State's correspondent to?
day that any information relative to
the committee proceedings must be
had from others than himself.
It was learned here that one of the
principal witnesses for Mr. Grace will
be Leon Larrisy, who made the race
against the late George S. Legare last
year.
ALLEGE RACE DISCRIMINATIONN.
Washington, Sept. 28?A bitter
fight against alleged race discrimina?
tion In various parts of the country
will bo made shortly on behalf of ne?
groes before the supreme court of
the United States.
The Oklahoma and the Maryland
"grandfather" constitutional amend?
ment by which thousands of negroes
have been disfranchised, will be at?
tacked as unconstitutional. An effort
will be made to have the Oklahoma
"Jim Crow" legislation annulled. An
attempt will be made by Tennessee
negroes to be permitted to use the
name "Knights of Pythias" for ne?
gro lodges.
Frank Guinn and J. J. Real, two
election officials, have been convicted
of conspiring to prevent several ne?
groes from voting at the congressional
election of 1910 in Oklahoma. This
was done on the basis that the
"grandfather clause*' was unconstitu?
tional.
The Oklahoma "grandfather clause"
made it necessary for all persons
whose ancestors were not qualified to
vote In 1866 In this country to be able
to read and write in order to vote.
In Maryland damages have been re?
covered against two election officials
who refused to allow negroes to vide.
The officials were enforcing the
"grandfather clause."
Five negroes seek to enjoin Okla?
homa railroads from enforcing the
"Jim Crow" law. They lost In the
lower federal courts, which went SO
far as to hold that railroads need not
furnish sleeping cats for negroes if
there was not sufficient demand by
negroes for such accommodation.
For seevral years a light has been
waged between white and negfO
lodges of Knights of Pythias in the
South over the use of the name. The
negroes lost their cause In the courts
of Tennessee.
LARGE AUDIENCE AI OPENING
MORNING AM) EVENING SER?
MONS OF DR. J. WALTER -
DANIEL HEARD HY CROWD- j
ED CHURCH.
Initial Sen ices at Trinf ty Church
Were Interesting and Two Excel?
lent Sermons Were I*reaehed by
Dr. Daniels?Ikdightful Music was
Rendered by Choir-?Program of
Services,
Twice on Sunday, morning and
evening, the Trinity Methodist Epis?
copal Church, South, was crowded to
its utmost capacity to seat the im?
mense crowds which attended the
initial services in the new church. It
is probable that between fifteen hun?
dred and two thousand persons were
present at the two services, more than
the large church with its full seating
capacity in use could conveniently ac?
commodate. Extra seats were brought
in from the Sunday school rooms and
placed in the aisle of the church in
order to seat the crowd.
Dr. J. Walter Daniel, presiding
elder of the Charleston District,
preached the sermons at both morn?
ing and evening srvices and those
present heard two able and scholarly
addresses. Dr. Daniel held the at?
tention of his audience for more than
an hour in the morning and for near?
ly the same length of time at night.
At the morning service he took for
his text Collossions, second chapter
and third verse, "In whom are hid all
the treasurers of WisSon and Know?
ledge," and from ais text delivered
a powerful discvjrse. His subject
was "Christ, th* source of all things,"
and he showed by able reasoning that
without Christ "there would be none
of this boasted civilization of ours."
"Christ must be pre-eminent in all
things," said the spexker," "Unless he
was, and his doctrines could with?
stand all of the attacks of infidels and
heretics, the church had better shut
up shop," he declared. In the course
of his remarks, Dr. Daniel referred
to the skirts of the women of today,
saying rather than wear one "It was
better to make two and wear one on
on each leg."
At the evening service, ttae. c;-owd
was even larger than in the morning
as several of the other churches had
closed their doors hi ? thai h? ir
members might atte . ? the Leeg
Trinity Church. Dr. Daniels preach*
ea his sermon front the text ' Axt
Thou a master in I~ rat I I
not these things?" the third chapter
of St. John, tenth verse. The speak?
er showed that it was entirely pos?
sible from a philosophic,, bilogical
and scientific, as well as a spiritual
standpoint that a man could be re?
generated, or, as the scripture stated
"bdrn again," and that he must be
born again to enter the kingdom of
God.
A special musical program was pre?
pared for both morning and evening
services which, rendered in a most de?
lightful manner, proved a pleasurable
feature of the services. At the
morning service in addition to the re?
gular program, a violin solo, rendered
by Mr. Mack Stubbs, accompaned by
the organist, Miss Julia Rowland, and
at the evening service a violin solo
was rendered by Prof. Schumacher,
accompanied by Miss Rowland. The
choir consisted of Mrs. Geo. Beaumont
Mrs. S. K. Rowland, Miss Mary Purdy,
Mrs. Richard Wilder, Mrs. B. O.
Cantey, Mrs. J. 13. King, Miss Harriet
Herbert and Miss Helen Beaumont;
.Messrs. C. M. Hurst, C. E. Hurst, II.
W. Bennett, J. J. Baker, W. M. Fol
som and Dr. C. B. Epps.
Before the morning services began
Julian David Chandler, Jr., the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Julian I). Chandler,
was christened by the pastor. .
