Washington, June 25.?Withdrawal from South Carolina of the support given by the Federal Government to the organized militia of al' other States and Territories brought many inquiries to the war department today and caused Secretary Garrison to issue the following statement: "With respect to inquiries made of me concerning the relationship between this department and the Governor of South Carolina, the facts are briefly: "Those in control of the National Guard of South Carolina were not complying with the law entitling them to Federal aid. The attention of the Governor was called to this and a rather sharnlv worded reDlv received. Fearing that there was some misunderstanding I wrote a long explanatory letter to the Governor stating the law and the particulars in which his State had failed to comply and suggesting that upon this being brought to his attention it was supposed that he would desire to comply with the law HAI CIs ?BE OXFORD SAL out every sprin leather.

VV1IJ uuuc t-U. uuu^c, m wyers, policemen and spectators were sent scurrying to cover in the criminal court here late today, when Ray M. Stewart, aped 18, fired three wild shots in an attempt to "shoot up" the court. At the first crack Justice Wendall P. Stafford disappeared beneath his desk and out in the court room there was a wild scramble for places of safety. Some, frenzied by fear, leaped into windows and dropped to the ground 15 or 20 feet below. Justice Stafford had just refused to release Stewart on probation after conviction for attempted highway robbery. The boy whipped out a pistol and fired three shots, two of which narrowly missed Assistant United States Attorneys Samuel Hawken and Harvey Given and Policeman Moffett. He was in the attitude of turning toward the judge as if to shoot when a witness sprang upon him and choketl him into insensibility. In the confusion that followed many thought Justice Stafford had been struck by a bullet, but the judge emerged from his haven with out a scratch. M. L. R.

When the fight of the antifree sugar and anti-free wool Democrats was getting hot the president issued a public statement declaring that any suggestion of compromise on the wool and sugar schedule ideas was absolutely out the question and later he stirred anti-administration leaders to action when he made his charge about the existence in Washington of an "insidious" lobby, in! vestigation of which has brought re| suits regarding as favorable to the tariff bill.
