COMMITEE MAKES PUBLIC REC? ORD IN FIRST CONGRESSION? AL DISTRICT FIGUT. i , Elections Body Will Now Decide Whether Charleston Mayor Han Made Prlma Fade showing Against Representative Who Declares Clalnu False, Washlngton( Dec. 8.?The houkc committee on elections, I ivestlgating tiit* charges of Mayor John P. Grace of Charleston against Representative Richard 8. Whaley, today made pub 1 ithe full record in the case. This re cord contains tho original petition filed by Mr. Grace, together with a lone, bill Of particulars and an amend? ed petition. This latter i>i11 of particulars seta out In detail the sums (d* noney paid and to whom paid, including a part of the $co,ooo alleged to have been expended by friends of Mr. Whaley, this being filed in response to a de? mand of the committee for more spe? cific Information, it Is here stated that various amounts were placed in the hands of Mitchell WhitSCll, W. B. Acker man. James Peurifoy, S, L. Simons, O, B. LimehOUSC, Walker fc>. (Jtsey, Dr. Dick and about 20 other ! persons to buy and corrupt voters lor , Mr. Whaley. The largest of these amounts was $6,000 and the price Went all the way down to $200. Tin re is another affidavit from Philip Fash and one from Victor Perry, also affidavits from J. J. Hil? ton, f. Brandes, M. BasaiTi John Aulberry, A. H. Brouthers, c. Conk lin, Lester Schwartzberg and Frank Bryleti all bearing on the same mat? ter. All these affidavits go into particu? lars concerning amounts of money said to have been used corruptly by the Whaley workers. All are to the same effect, only differing in amounts used, in places where the money is al leued to have been paid, and in minor details. After this follows the testi? mony of Frank llogan, Mike Barry, s. i>. gargsnt ami H. Leon Larlsey, all ?f which has already been exploited through the press. The interesting part of the situa? tion at the present time concerns the affidavits and the statement filed by Mr. Whaley. After denying abso? lutely all of the matter tiled by Mr. Grace, it is shown that his affidavits ate signed by M. J. Nolan, B. P. Carey, Thomas W. Young, Thomas Blrohflold, Jr., C. E. Heaps. Vincent Pont, Louis R, MorlllOi Max Gold? man, J. W. Moore, James 11. Noland, William J. Leonard, J, La Torre, A. MontanesCi Hi P. Gruber, Charles Munbenmaier, H. c. MUHgen, M. J. Blanche, J. J. Barrineau, i. O. Don BghUC, Frank fosberry, Milton Stall, Frank M. Cox, J. J. O'ShaUghnessy, John Ii- Bteeken, 1?. Hanley, c. Cro vatt, J. Russell Willamt and about 50 others. The affidavits so filed by Mr. Whaley not only controvert In detail those ?ubmitted by Mayor Grace, but attack the name.-; of the Grace men and most especially that of Larlsey. I iu re are perhaps a dozen of the Whaley affidavits in which the sign is declare that they know Larlsey and that tiny would not believe him oath. Many of these named in tin affidavits made by LarltO} say that Ills statements are wild and vision? ary and unworthy of belief; some- sa\ they were not at the polls when he ?aid they were there; others that they had been crronously included in his affidavits, and still Others that they ; would not bcliove hitn under any eir u instances. . As already slated in this correspond? ence, the burden of Mr. Whuley's de? fense is a denial of ail the charges made by Mr. Grace so far as they re? late either to the use of excessive -unc; of money, the buying of votei or the making of false and perjured affidavits to proem-,, his seat m the house. Mr. Whaley also told the commit? tee that any charges that he had promised the post mastership at Man? illa: to j. i >. Gerald and <'. w. Wells and that he hail promised it also to others is absolutely untrue and he ' never made any promise to any on" I to reward him to office should he be elected to congress. This is the sum and substance of the whole situation as it exists here at the present time. Mr. Grace fllod ins charges and supplemented them With others; Mr. Whaley died a spc clllc denial. That makes a joined is-, sue ami it is up in the congressional committee to say whether Mr. Whalej shall make further dofenno or v in iher in has already, in th ? eye? of the committee, cleared himself by Mm Show I Wl he has made. Mr. Grace arrived here today and is prepared, it j .? understood, to right the case to th,. , n<i it the committee hall de, |dc to go Into a i egulur in - vestlgntlon.

SCOTT MADISON TRIED IN LESS THAN WEEK AFTER CRIME. shot and Killed E. P. Host at Barn well on Last Wednesday Sight? Miller Pound Guilty of Assault ant! Battery. Barnwell, i>?c. 8.?In lose than one week after Scott Madison fired the ?hot tl a killed B. Peyton Bent, a well know merchant of Barnwell, he heard the sentence of dtath passed. The negro was tried in the court of general tensions here todaj and on conviction this afternoon Judge Gtage sentenced him to die in the electric chair between Friday, December l? and Monday, December 22. Gilbert , Miller was declared guilty of assault and battery and was sentenced to j serve 30 days on the county chain gang. Mr. Best was killed on the night of December o. These two negroes, who were car? ried to the State penitentiary last Thursday, following the finding of a verdict by the coroner's jury of in? quest, were brought back to Barnwell this mornin to lace the charge murder. They ware escorted from tin dep<?t to the court house by a large number ,,f special deputies. There was absolutely no attempt made, how ever, to take the prisoners from th officers and it la apparently the desire of everyone here to ltt the law take its course. When the accused men were being marched down the street, the wife and one of the sister's of the murdered man were standing on th sidewalk and they, with tears In thaii eyes, turned and watched the negroet who had so cruelly robbed them of husband and brother. The court room was packed when the case was called for trial, but the best of order was kept. Fourteen members of the grand jury, of which body Mr. Best was a member at the time of his death, answered to their names. They were handed the indict? ment and In a short time returned a true bill. The ac< used men entered a pic of not guilty. No trouble was experienced in the selection of a jur\ and the examination of witnesses wa; oeuun immediately. Scott Madison is from Rimini. Ht ; was put on the stand in his own de j fense and told a story entirely at \a i rlance with the testimony of the wit nesses for the State. So unsupportabU was his testimony that he got badh mixed In the telling and no weight was given to it whatever. He denied doing the killing, but said that it WON done with the gun he had gotten from Andrew Slmms. He accused Beam on Moore of the crime. 'Gilbert Miller testified In his own behalf and apparently told a straight? forward story, impressing his hearer* with the truth of his statements. II admitted buying a bottle of whlskej in the restaurant. That Mr. Best had pushed him out of the way and that he had hit the dead man with a bottle, after which he ran away, and that h< was quite a good distance oft when the shots were tired. He later met .Madison, w ho admitted having shot a white man. The jury was out about 20 min? utes, returning the verdict gifen above. Miller was sentenced to 30 days on the chaingang. After sentence had been passed Madison askt i permission to speak He made several requests as to tin disposition of his body, the collection Ol some money owing to him and ask? ed that he bo allowed to thank hit friends for what they had done. The defendants were then remanded to jail. Scott Madison, in the custody of Sheriff Morris, reached Columbia last night about 9 o'clock. Madison was taken to the penitentiary. The sherit'l said that, fearing trouble in Barn? well, with the assistance of about 2!) m< n he slipped the negro prisoner out of the rear of the jail, took him oi fool to the station and left about 7 o'clock for Columbia. Madison, ac? cording to the sheriff, has been sen? tenced to die in the electric chair De? cember 19, BLIZZARD IN COLORADO. Colder Weather Causes Great Suf? fering?Large Resesorvolr Breaks.

Besides the large number of army officers who had gathered to pay trib? ute to the great attainments of Col.

LEVER EXTENSION BILL MAKES FAVORABLE REPOM OX AGRICULTURAL PLAN. Dissemination of ValsjaSiB Teaching Among Rural flashes is Aim of .Measure. Washington, Dec. 8.?Representa? tive I.ever, author of the Lever agri Cultural extension bill, today made a favorable report to the house on the ure from the committee on agri? culture. ? For many years agricultural ex? perts have been acquiring valuable scientific Information relative to agri? culture, but the means heretofore employed for dlss ninating that in? formation, such as bulletins and in? stitutes, have proved to be insuffi? cient. This bill provides for carry? ing the information directly to the farm and gi ing it to the farmer through Personal contact and ocular demonstration. it contemplates a system of itinerant agricultural teach? ers In evi ry farming county in the United states. It will be the business of the so teachers to give instruction on the farm and in the schools along every line of farm life, such as the production Of better and bigger crops, the most economic and profi? table distribution of crops, educa? tional matters, home economics and the social life of the community. especially it purposes giving help to the American farm woman in solv? ing the problems of home economies which belong peculiarly to her, and it is the first step taken by the federal government looking to her relief. It is the intention that the proper ad? ministration of the bill shall do much to make farm life more attractive and more profitable, and so prevent the alarming drift of population from the country to the cities and towns. It also covers a problem which concerns not only the farmer but every citizen of the country. Ceii3iis reports show an alarming decrease In production of foodstuffs and a cor? responding decrease in exportation and increase In importation of food? stuffs. Within a few years the im? portation of cattle, for instance, has increased 2,000 per cent. Students of this problem maintain that at the present rate of production it is a mat? ter of only a few years before con? sumption will exceed production, and this country will be compelled to buy its food from other countries or go hungry. This bill seeks to forestall such a condition by increasing farm products in a degree commensurate with the increased demand and so to keep the United States on a self-feed? ing basis. This extension work is to be car? ried on by cooperation between the State agricultural colleges and the United Sttaes department of agri? culture. This plan will make the scheme so elastic that the peculiar needs of each State may be readily met and pro? vided for.
