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.

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?

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.,” AGAINST FREE TOLLS.
