Allen Green and Green
Gibson Meet Death
When Negroes Attack
White Men Said to
Have Whipped Suspected
Barn Burner
Near Fairplay.
Anderson, Dec. 221.? Two negroes
were killed and four white men were
wounded in a battle between the four
white men and a party of negroes at
Fairplay, in Oconee county, Monday
night. News of the affair has just
reached surrounding towns, and, 0:1
account of telephone lines being out
of commission, full details have not
been obtained.
Allen Green and Green Gibson are
the dead negroes.
The white men suffering wounds
arc: Magistrate W. C. McClure, shot
in the wrist; John McDonald shot in
the eye; Woodrow Campbell, suffering
a wound on the hand; Paul Mavrett,
sprinkled with shot.
It is said that a negro burned a
barn near Knox's bridge in Oconee
county Saturday afternoon and that
Magistrate McClure, Woodrow Campbell,
John McDonald and Paul Marrct
went to the suspected negro's house
and, carrying him to the place wheie
the barn was burned, gave him a severe
whipping.
Returning ?hey are said to have
been attacked by a party of negroes,
led by Allen Green. Green was killed
in the fight which followed, and Green
Gibson died later from wounds received
in the battle. None of the
white men is believed to be fatally
wounded.
/ This affair may be a sequel to the
wellnigli fatal stabbing of Julius
AT a r ret t jn this community a few days
ro. , Marrett was seriously stabbed
while trying to arrest a negro who
-d escaped from a Georgia county
chaingang. The negro successfully
eluded pursuit in South Carolina, but
was later arrested and is now in jail
at Toccoa, Ga.
' Fight is Not Advertised.
Walhalla, Dec. 21.?News of the af\
; fair at Fairplay only reached Wal'VX
halla this evening. An inquiry came
gjjgk ...from smother county this afternoon,
when the sheriff was asked he
* ' said he knew nothing. No report of
untoward incidents had come from
the lower section of the county. At
?<> o'clock a citizen came in from the
country bringing a report of a battle
between negroes and white men.
Sheriff Davis left tonight for the
scene.
The information received here was
to the effect that the community about
Fairplay was much wrought up Sunday
night with manv men under arms.
"Dymaniiters" to Get I'ardon?
P r? 1 ! *
vjuvim i:ur meas'j is considering i.
pardon or parole for W. R. Belcher
and Robert Wilson, two of the three
defendants who were convicted at the*
last term of the sessions court here
on charges of rioting, in connection
with the attempt to dynamite the
county iail a year ago.
This is understood here as the
meaning of tne "request for information"
received by the clerk of court
yesterday from the executive office
in regard to these men. Of Finch,
the other of the three men convicted,
110 mention is -.nade from the governor's
office.
The clerk is complying with the
governor's request and will, in the
r*ext day or two, send him the facts
in the cases.
Immediately after Judge Moore had
sentenced the men to three years' imorisonment,
notice of appeal was given,
and the men are now out on bond
pending the hearing of this appeal in
the supreme court. It is presumed
that some petition must have been
lodged with the governor asking the
exercise of executive clemency in
these cases.
The attempt to dynamite the county
jail was made when a mob endeavored
to get hold of the negro Will
Fair for the purpose of lynching him.
Fair had been incarcerated on the
charge of criminal assault upon a
white woman. At his trial a jury acquitted
him of the charge.
Another request was received from
Governor Blease in the case of Paul
Chandler convicted of rape. In addit
ion f/v V?o ncnul nrinforl nnAol!/v?f.
the following is apnended at the bottom
of the sheet: "Also, please state
color of party upon whom assault is
alleged to have b?>en committed."
Mrs. Franklin in Hospital.
Mrs. W. B .Franklin who was so
seriously burned at Ottaray last week
was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital
in Spartanburg Saturday after
noon by Envov McAbee of the Salva9
tion Armv. The hospital authorities
will tfive Mrs. Franklin the treatment,
but there is considerable amount of
expense which has to be met and the
charitably inclined folk of Union who
wish to contribute to this cause can
leave contributions at The Times office
and they will be placed in the
nroner hands.
The husband is an industrious and
hard working man. But for his misfortune
he would need no help.

Ithaw must
stanu trial
Washington, Dec. 21.?The right of
New York State to extradite Harry K.
Thaw from New Hampshire was upheld
today by the United States su
pi cum uuurt in a unanimous opinion
reversing Judge Aldrich of the feder
al district court of New Hampshire,
Justice Holmes, speaking for the
court, declared the case was "too clear
for lengthy argument," and sw<fpt
aside as irrelevant all contentions of
Thaw's counsel.
Conspiracy to escape from Matteawan
insane asylum, to- which he was
committed after killing Stanford
White in J 900, is the charge on which
Thaw stands indicted in New York.
On this indictment, once the prisonev
is again in the hands of the New York
authorities, will begin anew Thaw's
battle against being returned to Mattea
wan.
After JO days, unless counsel for
both sides join in asking for earlier
action, the supreme court will issue
a mandate to Judge Aldrich to set
aside his decree in habeas corpus proceedings
which obtained Thaw's release
by the New Hampshire authorities.
This will cause Thaw, now at
liberty under guard of a federal court
custodian, to be tunied over to the
State of New Hampshire and pave the
way for his immediate extradition to
New York.
Thaw's counsel sought his freedom
on the grounds that the indictment
against him charged no crime; that
if he was insane, the New York authorities
contended in placing him in
tt>o asylum, he could not be guilty of
the crime of conspiracy for which his
extradition was sought.
The supreme court held in effect
that the question of the prisoner's
s?<nity or insanity was one to be decided
by the New YurK State courts:
that an extraditable crime was
charged, and the only question bef

of the extradition of a prisoner so

Legal authorities who have followed
the case predicted today that a

were -reached. In this connection It

that immediate imprisonment
of Thaw in Matteawan without trying

charge might give rise to another habeas

courts.

law to be ratified in a State
election?the election to be held during
the year 1915, and that the headquarters
committee of the Anti-saloon
league be requested to. have the
bill drafted and in readiness to be
presented to the legislature, in the
meantime petitions be clrculu ted
throughout the State.
It was agreed by the conference
that the Rev. JF. L. parley and D*
"Ci K. Hurts serve as ex-omcio menfr
bers, in addition to the ten. The
five members from the Anti-saloon
league, it was agreed, were to be appointed
by Mr. Harley, the other five
by Dr. Burts. Mr. Harley named the

Atlanta, CJa., Dec. 21.?Federal
ludge W. T. Newman, after hearing
ixtended arguments here today, tiedined
to issue a certificate declaring
hat, in his opinion, there was "probible
cause" for an appeal to the Unitid
States supreme court in the habeas
orpus proceedings instituted by Leo
VI. Frank, who is sentenced to be i
langed January 22, for the murder of
Mary I'hagan.
Judge Newman said, however, at
he close of the hearing that he was
billing to allow Frank to appeal to
.he higher court but that he would
lot certify the appeal. f
Under the law of 1!)0S governing
appeals in habeas corpus proceedings |
"roni federal district courts, Frank's
awyers contend, Judge Newman's decision
means, in effect, that they must 1
uco before some individual justice of 1
he supreme court at Washington and
make application to him to grant an
ippeal before the matter can he presented
to the highest tribunal. They
said they would do this as soon as
possible.
To Washington Again.
Leonard Haas and Harry A. Alexander,
of Frank's counsel, left for
Washington late tonight to make application
to a justice of the supreme
court to grant an appeal. It was reported
that they probably would ropiest
a hearing before Justice Lamar,

capital.
in announcing ms decision today.
Iudge Newman said:
"I would be glad to have the supreme
court pass upon the question
presented in this proceding, but since
[ have heard the petition and decided
hat I could not issue the writ, 1 believe
that I cannot say there is 'probable
cause for an appeal.' To tlo so,
t seems to me, would be contradictory.
To have granted the writ would
tave meant the discharge of the pris>ner
and from the record and what
.vas presented, I did not feel that I
could do that.
Judge's Decision.
"I am willing to allow the appeal,
but cannot give 4? certificate of probable
cause for the same.
The court stated that he would give
to Frank's attorneys a copy ic his
opinion in denying the writ last Saturday,
and also a statement of his
reasons for his decision today, which
they, might present to the supreme
court in connection with their application
for an appeal.

BILL
?ES AT LAST
(louse Adopts Lever's
Cotton Measure?-Will
Help Farmers ot the
South?Author of Plan
Says He is Convinced
of It's Good Effect For
Entire Country.
Washington, Dec. 21.? T:." I > vei
cotton warehouse hill, before t hehouse
for months, was passcu today,
218 to !)7. The measure provides for
federal licensing of cotton and grain
warehouses and is a substitute lor a
. enate hill restricted to cotton warehouses.
The hill now go* s to conference.
The hill, approved by I lie administration,
was the subject of brief tiebate,
its sponsors contending that it
would greatly enhance confidence in
agricultural products. Its opponents
claimed it was unconstitutional.
"The bill," said Representative
Lever, "will result in the establishment
of uniform warehouses and uniform
warehouse receipts for agricultural
products throughout the country.
It will give a certainty and valu>to
warehouse receipts which will
make liquid the evidence of ownership
of agricultural products. It will
enhance the value of warehouse receipts
as collateral on which loans
may be sought by producers. It will
give greater negotiability to agricultural
receipts for agricultural products.
"The measure will bring together
more closely agricultural products
and banking capital. It wil result
larger storage facilities for agricultural
products and will serve as an
incentive to farmers to store their
products and thereby save millions of
dollars of weather loss each year. It
will furnish to the farmer for the first
time in this country the machinery
through which he not only may know
the class or*grade of his products, but
its commercial value. It will put bi n
in a position to market his crops
when the demand is strongest and
the price highest. It is a farmers'
bill and a most far-reaching forward
step in our cumbersome system of
marketing."
The bill is not "ompulsory in any < ?
way. ~
Main provisions affecting cotton
propose ' by the bill are:
It provides for classification of cotton
and licensing of cotton warehouses.
It bonds owners and operators of
warehouses and gives the right of
covery upon the bond to the owner
of cotton stored.
It licenses graders or classi 'ers of
cotton.
It provides that licensed warehouses
shall issue receipts describing the
hales stored, the receipts to be assignable
when desired.
It provides for maintenance of accurate
records of cotton stored, the
receipts issued, the right of the secretary
of agriculture to examine records
and requires reports from operators
to the secretary.
It authorizes the secretary to dele
mine whether cotton stored in warehouses
actually is of the grail or
class certified in the receipt and to
publish his findings.
It empowers the secretary to suspend
or revoke licenses and to publish
not only that fact but the results
of investigations nad< .
