A. I unk that the Rev. Stanislaus GrutS be placed In charge of St. Casimier's Polish Roman Catholic church. The rm b comprised about 2,000 men and women and after righting two hours they successfully blocked the efforts of Father Gruza to take possession of the church. Father Gruza was transferred to the parish a year ago but the parish loners refused to accept him. Six hun? dred families in the parish then took charge of the church, barred the doors and windows and petitioned the Mshop to assign them another priest. Thlg was refused and the matter was taken into court where Judge Funk ordered the sheriff to place Father Gruza in charge. Early today the sheriff, a deputy and the priest drove to the church but mm diately were surrounded and the police were called on for aid. Twen? ty-five policemen were sent to tht church and the doors broken open. The angry parishoners then charged the otllctrs and the battle was fought In the street The fire department was called to aid the police but was unable to help as the mob surrounded the wagons and threatened to cut the hose. Father Gruza watched the fight from a house two blocks away. THE WEEK'S WEATHER. tdv the Pacific Coast Will not See the Temperature Fall This Week.

RETURNS FROM ATLANTA. R, L Manning Thinks That Favor? able Showing Was Made by South Carolina Delegation, Mr. R. I. Manning returned to Sara ter Sunday morning from Atlanta, where he has been for the past three1 days with the South Carolina delega? tion, in attendance upon the hearing before the regional reserve board con? sisting of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, Comptroller of the Treas? ury John Skelton Williams and Sec? retary of Agriculture Houston and to express the views of South Carolina bankers on the establishment of a regional reserve bank. Mr. Manning stated that he con? sidered that the delegation of fifteen, representing the general assembly, the I .-ankers and the commercial organiza? tions of the s(ate. had made a very favorable showing bet?re the board. .Messrs. W. F. Stevenson of Cheraw, R, 1. Manning of Sumter, and B. F. Tay? lor of Columbia and E. J. Watson of Columbia had stated the views of the South Carolina bankers to the board. They had advocated, first, to have a regional district north and south, the latter to consist of the District of Co- ' lumbta, Virginia, the eastern part of West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. They asked that the regional bank be suffi? ciently large to furnish resources to meet the borrowing needs of-the dis? trict The committee advocated Columbia i as their Aral choles a* a ^itc for the regional bank, and Richmond as their second ch< Ice, with the exception that ?Ome of tli" I Linkers preferred to have Maryland included in the district and i altirnore as the site for the regional . a rvs auk, while others though*. ihat the regional reserve1 bank should be situated In Washington if ColumJ da couid not socure it. I The views of the South Carolina delegation seemed to make a favorable impression on the board and it is thought that South Carolina will bo put in the desired district with the location of the regional reserve bank still unsettled. AMEND TAX LAW. Will am Fortune Tells of Conference With Oscar Underwood. No Action Now. Indianapolin, Ind., Feb. 15.?That the income tax law may be amended by congress to meet objections voiced by business interests was the state? ment made here today by William ortune of Indianapolis, chairman of a committee, representing the Cham berg ot Commerce in mnay large cities. The committee was appointed to Inquire into requirements of the new law. "In a conference at Washington, Mr. Underwood, chairman of the house committee on ways and means," said Mr. Fortune, "told us that he does not think it necessary, according to law, to report any Income on which j there are exemptions or on w hich there have been deductions at the 'source. He does not think it Is neces? sary to require certificates from for < Sign owners of American securities. There seemed to be danger that on account of troubles connected with the Income law there might start an avalanche of selling by foreign own? ers of American bonds. "Mr. Underwood advised our com? , mlttee that congress could not now make any changes in the law before Match I and ioj the Hist of the Indi? vidual returns must be made by that time, It would make no difference if the modifications to bo made by con? gress should be deferred until near the end Of tho year."

Final Report Shows Large Number of Seals Sold In this State. Coumbla, Feb. 16.?The llnal re? port of the Red Cross Seal Commie? s'on of South Carolina on the year's campaign for selling . the Christmas seals in the fight against tuberculosis has recently been made public by Reed Smith, who as secretary and treasurer has had charge of the work in the central office in Columbia. The results are gratifyingly large and suc? cessful. Generous assistance and co operation was received on all sides. 116 agents from all parts of the State Joined in the effort to make the sea? son's success noteworthy. It is owing chiefly to their earnest and enthus? iastic efforts that the sale met with such splendid success. Altogether a grand total of 240,000 seals were sold during December, realising the hand? some sum of $2,400. Of this only 10 per cent, $240.00, goes to the Nation- i al Association. The rest, with neces? sary expenses taken out, remains in the State for advertising and relief work in the fight against tuberculosis. This is the first year that a State? wide campaign has been attempted, and neither the Commission uor the. National Association anticipated such j gratifying results. In a letter to the Secretary, Dr. Phillip P. Jacobs of the National Association in New York writes: "I am completely surprised and very much delighted to hear of the remarkable sale of Red Cross Seals in South Carolina. When we organized the work in your State, I was hope? ful that probably the sale throughout the State would aggregate 100,000 and after Mr. Van Blarcom returned and gave me such a flattering report of the situation, I said that probably the sale might reach 160,000 but it would hardly exceed that amount. Imagino my surprise, therefore, when I learn- j ed from your letter that the sale Is approximately 250,000." Mr. Ernest P. Dicknell, National Director of the American Red Cross in Washington writes: "During 1911, >,2J0 seals were sold in your state and in 1912, 9,260 were sold. You can, therefore, readily understand the great satisfaction we feel in the success of your 1913 seal campaign, which has resulted In the sale of practically one quarter of a million seals. Permit me to express to you the appreciation of the American Red Cross of the helpful co-operation of yourself and the other members of your committee In the fight which Is being waged against tuberculosis.'* The commission naturally feels encouraged over the year's work and congratulates the State and the j splendid corps of agents on the show? ing made. The year's work has put the Red Cross Seal Christmas move? ment on a firm footing. Most of the work done this year was pioneer in nature. The next year, and the suc? ceeding years should witness even arger returns. Almost without exception the agents did fine work. To give full credit would mean to name all com i munitlOg in which the seals were solo. GRIDIRON CLUB DINNER, President Wilson and Secretary Bry? an Enjoy Occasion. Washington, Feb. 14.?Scarcely an administration policy was spared to? night from the shafts of wit and sa? tire in the songs and "stunts" which enlivened the annual dinner of the Gridiron Club, composed of the load? ing m-wspaper correspondonta here. I When an aged man with long*white j beard sauntered Into the room and jsaid he was Apt Alliteration, and way (looking for his baby Watchful Wait? ing, whom he hoped the dreadful I Democrats had not killed as they had j Dollar Diplomacy, President Wilson j who headed the long list of distin? guished guests, laughed heartily. | I And neither he nor William J.

Five Thousand Prisoner* Held at Fort Biles by Gen. Scott.?-Federal Com? mander Han no Desire to Escape. El Pao, Texas, Feb. 15.?Hundreds *t visitors today went to Fort Bliss to view the prison camp where Gen. Hugh L. Scott is caring- for more than f.,000 Mexican men, women and chil? dren, who fled after tho federals were defeated at OJinaga a month ago. Meanwhile Gen. Jose Ines Salazar, prisoner, was uneasy and sulked with-j hi his tent. Gen. Scott has him con fiacd in a special barbed wire stock ale away from the other prisoners aad recently Informed him that if an a tempt was made to rescue him he would be the first person shot. Today baJazar sent word to Gen. Scott that ho feared tho rebels at Juarez would take advantage of the order and make a false demonstration from the rail-! road tracks nearby, probably firing aj few shots in the air, and before the, ruse was discovered the guard would have carried out the instruction with reference to himself. 'I have no more desire to escape th in a 10-year-old boy," was the mes- ' aage Salazar sent. Gen. Scott said he! might enter the post guardhouse if he wiRhed. Here he would be in a cell, )\x: safe, and the Mexican may try the experiment for a week. ?n the camp there are 63 wounded* federal officers and 187 wounded men j and 218 federal officers and 3,1801 men who are physically fit. Then j are 1,259 women and 556 children. Oil the children 400 are of school age, j and as soon as possible Gen. Scott will j inaugurate a school, at which some of] the educated olflcers will be the in- i structors. There are four cases o; : smallpox and this has delayed th. school period. The prisoners live in tents, brown like the whole verdurelcss landscape. It costs 18 cents a day to feed each; prisoner, or about $900 for the camp, whi e the cost of subsistence for an j American soldier is 23 1-2 cents. Th. , prison rations consist of Mexican \ beans, chilli peppers, corn meal, po? tatoes, onion, bread, fresh meat and j coffee. A guard today detected one of, ihe prisoners giving away some of his coffee to a fellow countryman on the outs'de. i Moat of the prisoners are far bet-: i ter off than when in the field. They, are ttouaed and fed regularly and by dint of much urging the Americans have trained them to police their' camp and take proper sanitary pre? caution* The prison is of about 40 j acres, surrounded by a barbed wire! tenet). The sentries do not enter the amp except for special purposes, but patrol it on the outside. Visitors are' kept at a distance from the fence and the prisoners themselves are kept | way from it. In the crowds today were many Mexicans from El Paso, who brought gifts of tobacco, cigarettes, bananas, apples oranges and other delicacies. Visiting priests today celebrated mass and there was a concert in the afternoon by the band of 40 pieces, ! sent by President Huerta to Inspire ais soldiers at Chihuahua and OJi naga. The prisoners are well clothed. Huerta. recently provided all with shoes, hose, underwear, hats and overalls, or dresses. Officers also re I elve $5 a month and privates $2. j They are permitted to make purchases ! at the regimental store at the same r.ces paid by American soldiers. A special permit not eas ly obtain? ed is iequired for a visitor to go with? in the camp. This is due largely to ; tho cases of smallpox. Americans j who have enjoyed the privilege and j the guards say the prisoners generally j are sullen in tho presence of their ' Jailers. At Vsleta today soldiers discovered 14 rtlleg and 3,000 rounds of ammunl ' tlon hidden away. They probably were left behind Wednesday night by Mex . lean recruits who lied across the Iii? j Grande. j Rumors reached Gen. Scott that at , tempts to run more recruits across j would be made, but details of the plot wero lacking.
