ANOTHER AMERICAN CITIZEN MISSING IN MEXICO
{OUTH ARRESTED
ONPASTOR'S PLEA
South Carolina Preacher Declares
He Has Been Made the Vic
tim of Slander.
ANDERSON, 8. C., March 6.—Char
acterizing the charges made against
him as “absolutely false,” and vowing
vengeance on the yourg man who cir
culated them, the Rev. E. N. Sanders,
pastor of the Second Baptist Church
of Anderson, has had Will Myers, a
prominent young man of this county,
arrested on a charge of slander. The
young man, when arraigned before
I'agistrate Broadwell, gave bond of
$4OO for his dppearance at the next
term of the Court of General Sessions
for Anderson County.
Last week the Baptist Young Peo
ples’ Union of South Carolina held its
State convention in Greenville, and
the Baptist preacher from Anderson
was a delegate. While there he met
Myers on the street, and, according
to the story Myers told when he re
turned to Anderson, he and the minis
ter spent the afternoon having a gay
time. Myers told a number of people
around Anderson of the happening,
and the board of deacons of the Sec
ond Baptist Church took the matter
up with the Rev. Mr. Sanders. The
preacher then had the young man or
rested.
When Myers appeared before tha
local magistrate here, he said that he
could and would prove every word ot'
what he had said, and that he was
going to bring a woman in Greenville
to Anderson who would swear on the
witness stand as to the identity of the
Rev. Mr. Sanders. Myers says that he
can also prove by the hackman who
drove them aLout town that Mr. San
ders was the man accompanying him.
The minister declares there is no‘|
one iota of truth in the story, and that i
it has been told by Myers at the insti- |
pation of enemies who desired to i¢|
the preacher a wrong. |
“Would a man wearing the cloth |
that 1 do be guilty of conduct of zhlsi
kind in wroad-open daylight with a,
man from his own town?”’ asked the
minister. t
It is said that the congregation is[
up in arms, and will demand that
there be a full investigation of the
affair.
The Rev. Mr. Sanders is about 30
years of age, and is one of the best
known ministers in the city. He is
a married man.
“LIAR” NO FIGHT TERM.
Dr. George Stuart, of Knoxville—
himself a Southerner—squared off
with the text, “Love Your Enemies,”
at the Bible €onference Friday, and
landed a solid punch on the ‘“cavalier
doctrine” of the South, that the word
“liar” is a fighting weord, to be met
with a blow—to be.paid for by blood.
“That is a foolish sentiment,” said
Dr. Stuart, “and a debasing idea. If
a man calls me a liar, one of two
things is the case: -1 am a liar, or I
am not a liar. If I am a ilar, he
simply states a fact, which I ought
to admijt. If I am not a liar, then
he is a liar—and if I should under
take to fight every liar in the country,
1 should have a Government job on
my hands. There is no philosophy
in courting a difficulty with every
:11-hred scamp who may call you a
iar.”
LOCKER CLUB OR CHUCH?
Members of the First Bajptist
Church, who, while discharging their
congregational obligations cheerfully
and fully, cherish memberships in
some of the well-known clubs of the
city, were stirred Friday over the in
sistent rumors of an ultimatum,
touching upon the locker club situa
tion, planned and already broached
by Dr. C. W. Daniel, the pastor.
It was rumored among the mem
bers of the congregation that Dr.
Daniel will request the members of
his eongregation to give up their
memberships in all clubs where liquor
is on sale, and that he will ask a
personal pledge from every memober
of the church that henceforth the
member will not enter the doors of a
club with the locker feature,
He will also ask his church to go
cn record against locker clubs, it is
said, 7
HURLS SOUP ON CUSTOMER.
CHICAGO, March 6.—After he had
spoiled four eggs trying to carry out a
customer’'s order to ‘fry one egg on
one side and the other on the other
side,”” Nicholas Grates, a waiter, hurled
a bowl of hot soup at Charles Miller, the
humorous customer, and was arrested.
PAINTS TAIL ON FRAME.
NEW YORK, March 6.—Madame

Fifth avenue gallery.
She found there wasn't room for all
of the dog on the canvas, so a part of

frame.” *

NEW YORK, March 6.--Bustles—
no “hint of them,” either, but genuine
tustles—are here, and yesterday
when the head of a Fifth avenue com
pany, who has just returned from
Paris with all the new wrinkles in
women's fashions, opened up his
boxes there it was—the bustle——in
nearly every one of the model gowns.
“It's surely here, and we will have
to get used to the idea,” said he.
“That’s only one of the new features
which come as a genuine change in
the models. The new coats start
from a raglan shoulder, very narrow
in effect, and ave yards about the bot
tom, hanging in great waves. Smart?
Decidedly, and very youthful in ap
pearance as well,

THINK RANOMAN
HAS BEEN KILLED
Reported as-Having Been Taken
to Mexico City, but Known He
“ Never Reached That Place.
LAREDO, TEXAS, March 6.—An
other American citizen has disap
peared in Mexico and is believed to
have been killed by General Huerta's
Federals like Clemente Vergara, who
was hanged near Hidalgo. The lat
est victim is Inocente Benavides, a
stock man of Zapata County.
Benavides was arrested near Sabi
!nus Hidalgo and taken to Saltillo.
When inquiries were made by his
friends, they were informed by Mex
ican officials that Benavides had been
ltaken to Mexico City, but it is known
that he never erached the Capital
“U. 8. POLICY IS SHAME."
WASHINGTON, March 6.—Declar
ing that American mannood had been
put to shame by the attitude of the
Wilson administration in dealing with
the Mexican situation and asserting
that “we should have sent our soldiers
into Mexico and brought out the
body” of William S. Benton, the Brit
ish subject slain by General Villa's
order, Senator Works, of California,
in the Senate to-day pronounced the
most drastic arraignment that the
present governmental regime has re
ceived.
“What right,” he said, “has Villa
to say whether the body of the victim
of his wrath and cruelty should be re
moved or not? What has become of
our courage and manhood that we
could leave it to him to settle such
a question?”
The Senator attacked the Mexican
policy of the administration as ‘ri
diculous and shameful,” and asserted
‘that he was convinced that the
\’l’nited States soon must deal with
Mexico in a decisive way,
‘ “Unless the American people shall
have lost all virility, cou®age and pa
‘triolism," he said, “it will read of
the dealings of this administration
'with Mexico in the years to come
with sorrow and shame.”
~_ Recounting the dethronement of
'Diaz and the murder of Madero, Sen
‘ator Works recalled the refusal of
this Government to recognize Huerta
‘and the withdrawal of Ambassador
Henry L.ane Wilson from that coun
try, “so we could only act,” said Sen
‘ator Works, “through subordinate of
ficers or empleyees with people whom
'he had denounced as usurpers and
wholly without authority.
~ “Then commenced a series of con
'duct of a kind wholly unknown to
diplomacy and so absurd as to maie
tus ridiculous at home and abroad.
| The President sent to Mexico a pri
vate citizen. not an officer, without
':nuthority of any Kkind, not as a rep
}rosentativa»of the Government, but
'the private representative of the
' President himself. Then commenced
‘a series of negotiations, if they may
lbe dignified by that name, that sur
passes everything that ever had been
' known in history. Its utter futility
}wus reco-nized by almost everybody
from the beginning. It excited ridi
cule and derision and made us a Gov
ernment ridiculous.,”
