PARATION.
Washington, May 27.—The President
today vetoed the I#ox resoluticn de
claring war with Germany and Austria
at an .end. Ye declarel he could not
approve of such a resolution which
would place meffaceable stains on the
honor and gallantry of the TUnited
‘States. He stated the resolution sought
to establish peace Wil the Germon
Empire without exacting ‘‘reparation
por “the infinite wrong which it did
to the people whom it attacked and
whom we professed to assist when we
entered the war.” The attainment of
these purposes is provided for in the
Treaty of Versailles, the President
said. Such a peace with German would
be a complete surrender of the rights
wf the United States and ought to be
inconceivable and is inconsistent with
the dignity of the United States. .

MYSTERY IN ACCUSITION—LASSI
TER TO FIGHT CHARGES.
Much surprise and comment was oc
casioned in official circles by the re.]
torn late }"esterday of- three indict
ments by the Sumter county graand‘
jury against J. W. Lassiter, assastant
county road superintendent, accusing
him of assault with criminal intent‘
upen a Sumter county girl, drunken
ness in a dwelling and also, misde
meanor in connection with the two
‘fdregoing‘ charges. The indictments
‘were obtained by the girl’s foster
‘mother, who lives on a farm several
miles east of Ameriecus, who appeared
with the girl before the grand jury
Tuesday afternoon. :
‘Considerable mystery surrounds the
affair, and Mr. Lasseter, who has been
'a trusted employe of the county for a
¥(-onsi\derable time, protests his com.
plete innocence of the charges, and
‘pr(wduees witnesses whose stories at
‘last tend to corroborate his side of
‘the affair.
According to the allegation, the
assault’ took place at the girl’s home
Monday afternoon abeut 3 o’clock,
during the pursuit of an escaped ne
gro convict by a party of eounty em
‘p]oyes, led by Mr. Lassiter. It was
‘Monday morning that the alarm was
‘given that a convict had escaped from
‘the road gang east of the city. An
‘appeal by Road Superintendent John
‘Ansley to Sheriff Harvey for his track
dogs brought the information that the
~logs had been taken to Oglethorpe for
uvse there. Mr. Ansley, accompanied by
Mr. Lassiter and several other county
employes, hurried to Oglethorpe and
returned with the dogs, which were
put on the trail of the escape. Mr. Ans
ley then returned to his work, leaving
the party to continue the chase. About
3 o’clock, according to the story told
by various members of the party,
they were passing the girl’s home when
one of them seeing a well in the yard,
suggested that they stop to get a
drink, which they did. They found
an open well, with a milk pail sitting
beside it. There were several mem.
bers of the party and in some manner
the pail was dropped into the well. A
young man named Randolph, who was
in the party, suggested that he be let
down on the well rope by the other
members to rescue thg bucket. While
being let down the rope broke and
Randolph dropped into the well. Dur
ing the excitement of his rescue, which |
was presently effected, the girl and
her foster mother appeared and are{
said to have joined in the joking whi('h‘
was going on in the party. Later Mr.
Lassiter is said to have nccompuniodi
the younger woman to the house, from
which he returned soon and the par
ty left. No sounds were heard from
the house while Mr. Lassiter was ab
sent, his associates declare, and it was
said that the. woman and girl were
outside when the party left in goodl
humor, and not a word was spoken or
a sign given that anything improper
had taken place.
Mr. Lassiter has employed attorneys
and will vigorously fight the accusa.

POCKET WIRELESS TO COST
$5 SOON ON MARKET
London.-—lt wi.l not he long be
fore anybody can carry a wireless
set in their pockets and by getting
in touch with any station car le
ceive messages while walking along
the street, according to the an
nouncement made by Captain . de
A. Donisthorpe.
The outfit needed for this will be
an umbrella or cane which is to be
used as an aerial and a pocketbook
which will contain a miniature re
ceiving set and a telephonc receiv
er. Even in bed this can be used, ac
cording to the inventor, the oidinary
bedstead posts acting as a receiver.
The idea is that a person so equip.
ped will take a trip into the country,
or Central Park will be sufficicut.
A high position is selected and the
pocketbook is given an earth connec
tion. Then the umbretla or walking
stick is elevated at arm’s leagth—
and the rest just consists in listening
to what you hear.
The total cost of the pocketbook
which is to assist in these wonders
is about $5, and an exhibition of the
apparatus has been made at the
meeting held recently of the Wire
less Society ‘of London. The wave
length of the receivinz set can be
varied by turning the leaves of the
book and it was claimed by the in
ventor that it is comparable in sen
siiiveness with the most expensive:
and elaborate on the market.
