Washington, May 27.—The President today vetoed the I#ox resoluticn de claring war with Germany and Austria at an .end.

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. tions, ‘ REV. T. B. STANFORD VISITS COLUMBUS Rev. T. B Stanford motored tc Columbus Wednesday accompanied by the Rev.

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. } TIFTON'S POPULATION 3,005 ° Figures just issued by the bureau of the census show that the population of Tifton is 3,005, which represents a gain of about 25 per cent.
