of Identification.
Cheater. Oct. 2.?Attorneys here of
Blaaell Bigham and John Frazer, Jr.,
arrested or, ? week ago on a charge of
complicity in the robbery at Parr
Shoals Sep ember 6, when a pay?
master of the J. O. White Construc?
tion company was helc up and rob?
bed of $16 000, tonight gave out a
statement saying the two young men
were seen ?nd recognla.ed in Chester
during the time in which they were
alleged to have been at Parr Shoals.
The statement opens ty saying that
It has been deemed advisable to re?
ply in view of the lengthy and in?
consistent statements which have ap?
peared from Burns detectives and J.
T. Mr I.??iiun, superintendent of the
John O. White Construction com?
pany.
It goes or : "The arrest of these two
men is farcical and humiliating and
the charge >f this crime to them pre?
posterous. The repetition and publi?
cation of the fabrications of the al?
leged evidence against them Is only
adding Inault to Injury, falsehood to
wrong, and injustice to malignity.
The positiv? proof by many of Chea
ter'a best citizens shows conclusively
that both men were in Chester each
and every day of the time of the rob?
bery, when they are charged with be?
ing eleewhe*e. Neither of them wuc
awr.y ?Vom Cheater at this time, and
both were leen, talked to, associated
wMh and known and recognised on
frequent and aeparate occasions dur?
ing thla tirre by men who have been
In Cheater i life time and are above
reproa< h or impeachment.
"Am to the alleged identification by
seven men is first claimed and later
by only tt o, it is aufflcient to say
that no fear la felt on thla score.
Mayor Will am J. Simpaon made an
investigation of the alleged part
taken by Chief of Police J. L. Sanders
in the identification. The mayor had
Mr. McLellan called over the long cits
tance phone on Monday night, Sep?
tember It, and Chief of Police J. L.
Sandera talked with Mr. McLellan.
The chief requeated a copy of the only
. letter he ever wrote on the subject
and it ia aet forth aa follows:
?"Cheater, 8. C, Sept. 11, '13.
" 'John O. White Conatructlon Co.,
" Peak, 8. C.
' 'Gentlemen:
" 'If you have a man who thinks
he could Identify one or all of the men
who committed the robbery on the

secrecy aa this matter will have to br.
handled with considerable "are.
" Please advise me by return mail
If I may expect your man and when,
and by all means keep this letter in
absolute secrecy.
" 'Yours very respectfully,

"Chief Sanders states absolutely
and positively that never at any time

that either Kraser or ?igham were

no* revly and willing to aid in find?

Panama. Oct. 2.?"Absolutely no
damage was done by last night's
earthquake to any part ot the ca?
nal." This signed statement tonight
was issued by Col. George W. Goe
thals. chairman and chief engineer of
the isthmian canal commission.
The canal officials are greatly
pleased over the fact that within the
space of one week the Gatun locks
have been called upon to respond to
two supreme tests, and in each case
proved equal to the demand.
On Friday last it was demonstrated
beyond question that the locks' oper?
ating mechanism works perfectly and
that vessels can be locked through
at will. While the earthquake test
was not figured on the event came
opportunely, as it has showed that it
will take more than the ordinary
earthquake to cause irreparable dam?
age to the lock structures and dams.
Lieut. Col. Sibert today personally in?
spected the greater part of the Gatun
locks and satisfied himself that there
had been no damage. Col. Goethals
early was assured that the canal
works had suffered no injury.
The president of Panama, Dr Re
lizarlo Perras, inspected the canal
works this afternoon and learned with
great relief that the 'quake had left
the canal unharmed.
Reports late tonight from different
parts of the inhmus indicate ?oat the
disturbance was purely f a local
character with the greater intensity
in Los Santos province, 120 miles from
this ciiy. A late dispatch from the
city of L >e Santos estimates the dam?
age theer at $25,000 and in the en?
tire province at $100,000. No lives
were reported lost with the exception
of one death from fright.
The history of earthquakes In Pan?
ama during the last 200 years shows
that disturbances in the neighboring
republic of Costa Rica rarely are per?
ceptible in this part of the isthmus.
Canal experts always have pinned
great faith to the fact that no 'quake
has ever occurred strong enough to
shake down the famous flat arch
which his stood in Panama for 175
years.
While a number of seismic disturb?
ances ha?e been recorded here since
the American occupation, the earth?
quake of last night was the most
serious cf all. The city tonight Is
quiet and the general feeling is that
all danger has passed.
The only serious damage to build?
ings in the city of Panama was the
shaking down of some of the plaster
and fresco interiors of the famous
flat arched .Santo Domingo church.
Col. Goethals has received reports
from eveiy part of the canal territory
saying no damage has resulted.
Reports of damage in interior towns
of the Panama republic began to
come in late this afternoon. The
earthquake was violent in the prov?
ince of Los Santos where the gov?
ernment palace in the city of Los
Santos w.is wrecked and the police
station badly cracked.
At Tuaricirco VUlalaz one house
was ruined and two others fell down.
Towers of the churches at Maearcat
and Loh Tahlas were wrecked. In the
latter place several other buildings
weer destroyed.
At Pez the village pr'.est called his
congregation Into the church hut the
people were ordered out again by the
civil authorities.
One woman died of fright in Pan
onome.
Schools In the city of Panama were
ordered closed today.
The seismic disturbance does not
appear to have extended far to the
west or north.
Wireless advices from Hocas del
Toro say the town was badly shaken
hut no material damage resulted.
Port Himon, Costa Rica* reports
tho, earthquake was scarcely notice
nble there.
If the disturbance was more serious
anywhere It must have been in some
Ol the West Indian islands or in Eeiiu
dor.

LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE TAKES
C ASES TO THE GRAND JURY.
Detective* Have Gathered Great
Quantity of Evidence, Between
Four Hundred and Five Hundred
Cases thing Prepared.
News und Courier, Oct. 4.
What, the Law and Order League
has been doing since its formation wkl
told last night to an audience which
filled the German Artillery Hall to
overllowing. The Leag.ue announced
that it was now ready to do as it had
long desired to do and come out into
the open to fight, and announced fur?
ther that during the few months last
past, their detectives had gathered
evidence to the extent that between
400 and 500 cases of violaion of the
law are to be placed in the hands of
the grand jury of Charleston county
as soon asd possible.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one. It was featured by the announce?
ments made by the Rev. Walter
Mitchel, of such a nature as the
above; by an eloquent address by W.
P. Stacy, Esq., of Wilmington, who
told of the fight in that city; by an
address, brief, but full of import, by
the Rt. Rev. William A. Guerry, and
by the ready response which the men
in the hall made to the appeal of
Treasurer J. B. Reeves, Jr., for funds.
The audience included quite a
number of ladies, who appeared to be
keenly Interested in the proceedings.
It outnumbered the chairs, which the
committee had provided in the large
hall and some people stood through?
out the evening. Among those who
sat on the platform were prominent
men in every walk of life in the city,
nearly all the clergy being present.
The Rev. Walter Mitchell presided.
The Rev. Alexander Sprunt opened
the exercises with a prayer.
Mr. Mitchell then presented a brief,
concise statement of the activities of
the Law and Order League and ex?
plained away some of the public mys?
teries of the few months last past.
He said the organization had reached
that grateful point in its work when
it could at least come out into the
open to do its fighting. The reason
the Law and Order League conducted
its preliminary work so quietly tras
because the leaders learned how m?ch
ammunition had been wasted in other
cities by letting the enemy see the
plans too soon. This secret method
had been very dlstateful to the lead?
ers, but it had been deemed necessary
to success. ?'.
In order to cover up the real efforts
of the League against law-breakers,
he said, the League had had the
"searchlights" printed. These bulle?
tins were printed to draw the lire of
the enemy. There had grown to be
a feeling of relief among the lawless
since they thought that the League
was going to expend all its efforts in
this publicity work, and they knew
that this publicity work would never
be enough. This v?. s just what the
League desired them to believe. Now
the point has been reached where the
real work of the League can be de?
scribed.
While the searchlights were hold?
ing the attention of the enemy, so to
speak, in one part of the field, the
League had detectives at work in the
city. Since April 1 these detectives
have been here and so secretely have
they worked, it is said, that only a
mere handful of the members of the
League know their identity today.
They have gone into all the lawless
places of the city and got evidence
and the result of their work is that
there are now between 400 and 500
cases against alleged law-brearers to
be placed before the present gr^nd
Jury. And in these cases, said Mr.
Mitchell, the evidence is so strong
that no grand jury can afford not to
indict the men. Mr. Mitchell said
that Solicitor Peurifoy had done ev?
erything he could to further these
plans of the league. The solicitor,
he said, at great risk to his health,
had Stayed hero in order to take
charge personally of the cases und
and put them In shupe for the grand
Jury, and that at a time when his
health gavt him the best of excuse
lor not performing his duty had he
not detlred to do so. He said So?
licitor Peurifoy deserved for this the
commendation of every good cltlaen,
tnd Mr. Peurifoy was strongly ap?
plauded. Unknown to most who were
there, the solicitor was in the hall at
the time.
Hut the sad part is, said Mr. Mitch?
ell, that a small number of private
citizens have had to spend thousands
of dollars to have public Officials pre?
sent matters they should have pre?
sented Without any urging. He Mid
he believed that from now on there
would he no lack of public support of
this work and that the officials would
not be afraid to do the work because
there would be public backing be?
hind them.

WILSON'S GREAT VICTORY.
ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS COM?
MENT ON TARIFE.
Most Striking Feature, in Their'
View, is Great Triumph for Presi?
dent.
London, Oct. 3. ?The English
newspapers today devote much space
to the passage by the United States
congress of the Underwood-Simmons
tariff bill. The Glasgow Herald this!
morning printed a supplement to its
edition containing the complete text
of the bill.
The Chronicle says:
"The president has sought for and
won a policy of genjine fiscal re?
form. It marks an epoch in the eco?
nomic and political history of the
United States. The nation, boldly
asserting its mastery over the inter?
ests that were nearly throttling it, has
made an irreparable breach in the
monstrous tariff wall which they had
reared. For President Wilson the
passage of the new tariff is a great
personal trimuph. No more remark?
able man has reigned in the White
House since Abraham Lincoln."
"The most striking fact about the
new American tariff," says The Daily
Graphic, "is th*? extraordinary per?
sonal triumph it constitutes for Pres?
ident Wilson. Not an experienced
politician?he was a university pro?
fessor, unfamiliar with the wiles of
Washington?yet he succeeded where
Roosevelt and Taft failed. The se?
cret of his success was his own sln
glemindednes8 of purpose.
"It would be inaccurate to describe
it a.? free trade in the sense that term
*? understood by the English a?:d I
whe Dutchman. Its passage must be
recognized as a crushing defeat to
high protection and inauguration of
an era of freer trade between the
United States and the rest of the
world."

W. W. LONG POINTS OUT COM*
MERCTAL POSSIBILITIES.
State Agent for Demonstration
Work Makes Trip Through Coast
Counties.
Importance of the fruit growing
industry in South Carolina was stress?
ed in an interview by W. W. Long,
State agent for the United States farm
demonstration work and the Clemson
college extension work, who has re?
turned after a trip throjgh the coast
counties?Horry, Georgetown, Char?
leston and Beaufort. The trip was
made for the purpose of outlining and
locating the co-operative work in
horticulture. Mr .Long was accom?
panied by Carter Newman, horticul
turalist of Clemson college and C. F.
Xiven of the agricultural department.
"We left Clemson last Sunday,"
said Mr. Long, "and have been
through the coastal plain of South
Carolina to outline work for next sea?
son under the auspices of the horti?
cultural department of Clemson and
the United States farm demonstration
work. Prof. Newman will have charge
of the scientific end of the work
and the practical side will be left to
the agents in the var'ous counties.
"We made our first stop in Rich
land coJnty and will next year super?
vise an orchard of 50 acres in the
sandhills. There are great possibili?
ties in this county. From Columbia
we went to Florence. One of the
citizens of that county hi"* 30 ao;es
planted in fruit. The trees are from
t^ee to four years old. The idea of
the owner was to plant an orchard
of from 500 to 600 acres. After plant?
ing 30 acres he realized that expert
advice was necessary and decided '.o
turn the rrchard over to the horticul?
tural deya.'tmem and the demonstra?
tion workers for the next two years.
If the owner finds that under the di?
rection of the experts fruit can be
grown on a commercial basis the
original idea will be carried out.
"We believe that peaches and
grapes can be grown as successfully
in South Carolina from the moun?
tains to the seashore as anywhere
in the country.
"We next went to Horry county
and located several demonstrations
for the development of the trucking
industry. T'r.e development of the
trucking industry in Horry county is
something wonderful and the possi?
bilities can not be measured. Dr.
E. O. Watson has established a won?
derful school in Horry and I have
never seen a piece of work more un?
selfishly dene. The school is located
in the Dead Line section, about three
miles from Conway, in the heart of
a rich agricultural section. On the
first day there were 43 boarding
students and 40 day pupils. A large
majority of the students are from
Horry cour.ty. W. M. Wall, in charge
of the agricultural department of the
school, is also our eemonstration
agent for Horry county. Miss Ida
Moore, one of the primary teachers,
has charge of the toma'o club work
in Horry. We have located our rep?
resentative* with Dr. Watson bo that
the agricultural forces will radiate
from his industrial school.
"To Ulne irate the influence of the
school: Several days before the open?
ing day a. boy 14 years old came to
Dr. Watson and said that he wanted
to enter in:o a contract to work for
live years. He said he was willing to
do any kind of work if he would be
allowed to take advantage of the edu?
cational opportunities. Dr. Watson
found that the school was filled up
at tho time and that he was in the
need of funds to care for the boys
already enrolled. Several days after
the boy ret urned and said that his
mother and father would furnish such
truck as they raised on their little
fa. nv to help defray the expenses.
Dr. Watson was so impressed with the
boy's persistence that he decided to
take him into the school. A public
spirited citizen of the Pee Dee sec?
tion, hearing about the boy, offered
to help pay his expenses. Another
instance of the good of the school.
A man 35 years of age, who had
been working on the farm all of his
life, went to Dr. Watson and asked
that he be permitted to enter the
school and work his way through.
The man said he wanted to learn to
read end write and that he was
willing to do any kind of work. He
secured a place with the .school and
on the first pay day turned over?
all of the money to pay for his ex?
penses."
The demonstration workers went
from Horry to Charleston to Investi?
gate the damage caused by blight to
cucumbers. An agent was appointed
who will work to control the disease.
The cooperation of the trink growers
was promised for the fight against
the diaeaae.
While at Qoorgeton Mr. Long en?
tered into a contract with M. A.
Brickman to act as demonstrator in
the development of the fruit growing
Industry. "We believe that grapes
can he grown In Georgetown on a
commercial basis," said Mr. Long.
