BLEflSE SAYS REUNION
HAS TOO MUCH RED TAPE
Consequently South Carolina
Governor Won't Make Trip
to Gettysburg
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBIA.-S. C., May 26.—Governor
Blease had planned to attend the Get-
reunion and to take his entire
staff, or as many of them as could at
tend with him. Ttte governor stated
this morning, however, that he had re
ceived so many invitations to deliver
addresses in this state during the sum
mer. and particularly on the Fourth of
July, that he feels that his first duty
is to his own state, arid that he should
not be out of Soutn Carolina on this
national holiday.
There is another reason for Gov
ernor Blease’s change of attitude in re
gard to attending the Gettysburg re
union. The governor is of the opinion
that there is entirely too much red
tape connected with this affair. He
says that he had thought that it was
to be a genuine reunion of the blue
and the gray. However, he has had
some correspondence with the secre
tary in charge, and he has received
this morning a letter from the secre
tary asking for certain credentials, etc.
In view of all the correspondence the
governor has reached the conclusion
that only those with certain specified
credentials will be looked after, and.
while this would not affect the gov
ernor and his staff, the governor says
that he does not care to attend an oc
casion of -this kind in which special
privileges will be extended to any one,
even to the governor. The governor
this morning Wrote Colonel Lewis E.
Beitler, the secretary, as follows:
“Your letter of May 20 received.
There seems to be so much red tape
connected with securing quarters for
the Gettysburg reunion that, in view of
this fact, and in further view of the
correspondence I have heretofore had
with you, and your seeming lack of in
terest, I have decided not to attend
with my staff, as I had planned. I
trust that a good number of veterans
from this state will be able to at
tend.”
The governor said that in view' of
all the circumstances he believed the
best place for the old soldiers of South
Carolina on this occasion would be at
home, but that he -wanted to leave to
each individual veteran the matter of
whether or not he wOuld attend, and
that the only interest he now had was
that he hoped that each veteran who
might decide to attend would have the
time of his life.
RETURNED FOR EXECUTION,
-BUT GIVEN FREEDOM
(By Associated Press.)
CARCASSONNE, France, May 26.—
Miquel Vallespi, who recently returned
here from the Argentine Republic and
gave himself up to the police, declar
ing that he wished to go to the guillo
tine for the murder of a woman fifteen
years ago. was given his freedom today.
Vallfespi related his story in the as
size court before a jury and told of
his struggles with his conscience, which
finally led to his spiritual conversion
and irresistibly impelled him to give uri
a prosperous position in Argentina to x
expiate * his crime in- -France to satisfy
the law. The jury, without leaving the
box, acquitted him amid applause.
The crime caused a great sensation
in France at the time, and Vallespi, who
was suspected of killing «the woman for
her money, disappeared. He was ad
judged guilty by default and condemned
to the gtiillotine. »
WILSON SENDS MESSAGE
TO INDIANS OF AMERICA
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 26.—President
Wilson eat in his study today and sent
a message by phonograph to the Amer
ican Indians. It will be translated
into the various tribal dialects and
taken on a 22,000-mile tour of Indian
reservations of the country by Dr.
Joseph K. Dixon, of Philadelphia, of
the Rodman-Wanamaker expedition.
Secretary Lane and Acting Commis
sioner Abbott also made records.
“ T rejoice to foresee the day,’ ” said
the president in part, quoting Thomas
Jefferson,_ “ ‘when the red men become
truly one people with us, enjoying all
the rights and privileges we do and
living in peace and plenty.’ ”
Men Welcome
Mother’s Friend
A Duty that Every Man Owes to Those
who Perpetuate the Race.
It is just as important that men should
know of progressive methods in advance of
motherhood. The suf
fering incident t o
child-bearing can be
easily avoided by hav
ing at hand a bottle
of Mother’s Friend.
This is a penetrat
ing, external applica
tion that relieves all
tension upon the mus
cles and enables them
to expand without painful strain upon the
ligaments. Thus there is avoided nervous
spells; the tendency to nausea or morning
sickness is counteracted, and a bright, hap
py disposition is preserved that reflects
wonderfully upon the charcter and tem
perament of the little one soon to come.
You can obtain a bottle of “Mother’s
Friend” at any drug store at $1.00. It
preserves the mother’s health, enables her
to make a complete recovery, and thus with
renewed strength she will eagerly devote
herself to the care and attention which
mean so much to the welfare of the child.

FOR DYNAMITE PLANTING
Checks and Vouchers Intro
duced to Show Am, Woolen
Mills Paid Conspirators
(By Associated Press.)
BOSTON, May 26.—Checks and
vouchers for several payments made by
the American Woolen compahy to Fred
erick FI. Atteaux were introduced by
the state this morning at the opening
of today's session of the trial of At
teaux, William M. Wood and Dennis J.
Collins.
The first of the vouchers showed
the payment of $605 to Atteaux “for
expenses incurred during the Law
rence strike.” This was drawn on
March 22, 1912. Another check for
$2,100 was drawn on June 26, this be
ing marked "in full for all claims to
date.”
The vouchers Indicated that the pay
ments were authorized by President
Wood. Both checks were indorsed with
Atteaux’s signature.
The exhibits were offered in support
of the government’s claim that the de
fendants conspired with John J. Breen
and Ernest W. Pittman to "plant”
dynamite in the homes of the strikers
at Lawrence in order to give the im
pression to the public that the strikers
contemplated blowing up the American
Woolen company's mill.
The state attempted to show that
President Wood was involved and that
the American Woolen company, through
ood, had helped pay the expenses of
the conspiracy.
Edward B. Lynch, paying teller of
the Federal Trust company, of this
city, where Atteaux has funds on de
posit, took the stand and identified At
teaux s signature on four or five papers
which District Attorney J. C. Pelletier
offered as exhibits. Henry F. Hurlburt,
of counsel for Mr. Wood, objected to
their admission as evidence against his
client.
He argued that the exhibits were
not competent until some connection
had been established between the pa
pers and the alleged conspiracy. The
district attorney replied that the pa
pers would speak for themselves and
would show the payment of money from
one defendant to another.
Judge Crosby admitted tpe exhibits
with the understanding that they would
be competent only in' the event that
some connection between the papers
and- the alleged conspiracy should be
established by evidence.
The district attorney read the pa-
pei s to the jury. One of them waa
Uie check for $505, drawn on the Na
tional Shawmut bank, of Boston, pay
able to and indorsed by Atteaux and
signed "American Woolen company, W.
A. Currier, assistant treasurer.”
Accompanying the check was an
American Woolen company voucher, on
which Atteaux’s signature appeared and
was a receipt for $505 “for expenses
incurred .during the Lawrence strike,”
according to the inscription on it
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
KISSED STENOGRAPHER
(By Associated Press.)
PITTSBURG, May 26.—Mrs. Arthur
FI. Wessels, who was Alice Lang, a sten
ographer in the office of Superintendent
of Schools Sylvanue, L. Heeter, today
on the witness stand before the com
mittee of citizens, named to probe ru
mors reflecting on Heeter, told her
story of the educator’s alleged miscon
duct.)
* She said the superintendent had be
gun his attentions by patting her on
the shoulder and playfully kicking her
feet beneath her desk, and later had
forcibly kissed her. She said she did
not resign at once because her salary
was needed at home and she feared if
she complained to the board of educa
tion her story would be contradicted.
A week after the kiss shg said she
revolted against working at night and
the superintendent discharged her.
Superintendent Heeter and his counsel
sat through the recital and Mrs. Wes
sels was subjected to crAas-examina-
tion during which she became confus
ed as to dates.
Arthur H. Wessels, husband of Mrs.
Wessels. and Dr. J. Chris Lange, an
uncle by marriage, testified to the ef
fect that they had heard the story of
Superintendent Heeter's alleged famil
iarity shortly after Mrs. Wessels had
left her position in Heeter's office.
The investigation has been adjourned
until Saturday afternoon, when counsel
for Heeter will present the superinten
dent’s defense. The final report of the
committee is expected to be presented
to the board of education by Tuesday of

NEW YORK, May 26.—Before sailing
for Europe today Andrew Carnegie gave
out a statement in which he took issue
with Dr. Lyman Abbott on the subject
of peace. He refers to Dr. Abbott as
•“our lamented ally who has recently
wandered astray,” and characterizes as
an astounding solution his recent dec
laration that “there are two ways of
promoting peace, one by making out na
tion so weak it cannot fight, arid the
other by making it so strong that it
need not fight.”
This “panacea” can only succeed, Mr.
Carnegie says, “by convincing nations,
emerging from war that they had
reached one class or the other—either
weak or' strong. The history of Europe
he declares, shows that “the defeated
nation is incited by defeat to revenge
as a patriotic duty, and the strong ever
strengthen their powers to repel prob
able attacks.”
The true panacea for ending war lays
in the growing belief of brotherhood af
fection, he continued.
He will be gone until October, spend
ing much of his time at Skibo castle,
Scotland.

WILSON’S HAND SEEN IN NO MORE HEARINGS ON
ROUSE REORGANIZATION: TARIFF AFTER TUESDAY
Underwood in Accord With
President on Selections.
Adamson Still Chairman
BY RALPH SMITH,
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 26.—The
detailed organization of the house of
representatives is not the least impor
tant matter that is engaging the at
tention of President Wilson just now.
It is recognized that the president is
exercising a controlling influence on the
ways and means committee in the per
sonnel of the several standing commit
tees of the house.
Mr. Wilgon feels an especial interest
in the personnel of the Democratic mem
bership of the banking and currency
committee, which will, of course, frame
and defend the currency legislation upon
which the administration will rest its
case. In many quarters it is believed
that the currency question transcends
in importance the tariff, and on this
account the president is anxious not
only that the committee shall be sym
pathetic with the administration, but
that its members shall be men of
ability.
Leader Underwood, in nis capacity as
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee, is in entire agreement with the
president as to the importance of the
banking and currency committee. It
is stated on reliable authority that the
leader is willing that Mr. Wilson shall
vise the committee before it is finally
elected by the Democratic caucus, and it
is understood, further, that Mr. Un
derwood intends that the president’s
suggestions as to the membership shall
be respected.
For many years the banking and
currency committee was an inconspicu
ous committee of little importance. Its
membership was the subject of small
consideration in the organization of the
house. After the Roosevelt panic of
1907, the subject of currency legislation
was revived, and the currency commit
tee invited the attention of the house
leaders. Uncle Joe Cannon was then
speaker. The Republicans controlled the
house. Charles N. Fowler, a banker of
Elizabeth, N; J., was chairman of the
currency committee. He was an in
surgent, opposed to Cannon and Can-
nonism. He had some ideas of his own
about currency reform, and to punish
him for his insurgency, Cannon dis
placed him as chairman and appointed
in his stead Representative Vreeland, of
New York, joint author with Senator
Aldrich of the Vreeland-Aldrich cur
rency act.
ABSCONDING BANKER OF
BOSTON DIES IN CHILI
F, T. Moore, of Boston Na
tional -Bank of Commerce,
Became Pdwer in Valparaiso
(By Associated Press.)
BOSTON, May 26.—The death at Valpa
raiso, Chili, of Frederick T. Moore, for
mer assistant receiving teller of the Na
tional Bank of Commerce, of this city,
who absconded fourteen years ago with
$5^000 of the bank’s funds, was reported
here today.
Moore fled from Boston in 1898 when ir
regularities were found in his books. He
was arrested in Valparaiso a year later
on a charge of embezzlement but the
courts refused requisition. During his
residence in Valparaiso he became one of
the leading business men of the city.
M’KINLEY’S SURGEON /
LOST ON HUNTING TRIP
(By Associated Press.)
STOCKBRIDGE, Mass., May 26.—Af
ter wandering for five hours in a weeded
swamp, in which he had lost his way, Dr.
Charles McBurney, the New York sur
geon who operated on President McKin
ley, at Buffalo, was found by searchers

tered. He started on a fishing trip Wed
nesday and when he did not return to
his estate here at nightfall his family
became alarmed and Martin Dofoley, his
farm superintendent set out to search
for him.
He, too, became lost in the wilderness
and it was not until several hours later
that a searching party of farm laborers

gether. They had encountered each oth
er in the swamp but were unable to
find their way out. The physician ex
perienced no ill effects 1 from the expos
ure. He is 68 years old.
HINDU BECOMES CITIZEN
OF THE UNITED STATES
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.—First
naturalization papers have been granted
by the United States district court to
a Hindu, Delta Kumar, who is a native
of India and a missionary. The appli
cant was informed yesterday that the
government reserved the right to with
hold final papers.
The recommendation of Chief Natu
ralization Examiner George A. Crutch
field that the papers be granted was
based on a recent ruling of a federal
court in Washington that a high caste
Hin'du was of aryan descent and eligi
ble to citizenship.

Appeals for Extension of Time
Disregarded by Senate Fi
nance Committee
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 26.—Announce
ment that the finance committee will
hear no more tariff arguments after
Tuesday has brought from all parts of
the country appeads for an extension of
time. They will be disregarded.
However, all manufacturers who have
inquired have been notified that they may
file briefs up to the time the bill is re
ported to the senate.
Corridors of the capitol and the senate
office building are thronged today with
those who wish to be heard before the
doors of the committee room are closed
Tuesday night.
State Senator James Ross, of Massa
chusetts, representing the United Tex
tile Workers of America, appealed to
Senator .Johnson’s subcommittee today
for not so great a reduction on cotton
manufactnures a.s is proposed.
Senator Hughes asked if he thought
the proposed cut would reduce wages.
“No, it won’t reduce wages,” said,
Ross, “because we won’t stand for it
and the time is passed in this country
for any reduction in wages. We have
nothing to do with the manufacturers’
end of it, but we feel that the great
reduction in cotton duties will throw
men out of work. If the duties on the
finer grades are cut it will put a heavy
drain on the capitalization of the
mills.
“1 do not think the cotton mills are
overcapitalized, but the workers do fear
that men will be thrown out of work
because local manufacturers cannot
meet foreign competition if the duties
are too low.”
Democratic leaders, determined today
upon a plan to hurry consideration of
the bill in the senate. Senators Sim
mons and Hoke Smith declare that when
the debate begins the senate will meet
daily at 10 la. m. and continue to 6
p. m.

SENATOR BACON’S DILL
It Is Generally Believed That
Measure to Create Em
bassy Will Pass
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, May 26.—Senator
Bacon believes that the bill which he
has introduced to increase the rank of
the American legation in Spain to an
embassy will be passed by congress.
The comment invited by the bill is en
tirely favorable. It is recognized as a
move on the part of the United States
to wipe out the last vestige of feeling
resulting from the Spanish-American
war. As such, it is believed that the
monarchy of Spain will accept it and
that the result will promote a warmer
feeling of friendship between the peo
ple of the two nations.
The commercial aspect of Senator
Bacon’s proposal is, however, more im
portant to the American nation. The
importance of his bill in this light will
be better appreciated when it is con
sidered that Spain is the mother of
most of the South and Central Amer
ican republics, and that an act of gen
erosity by the United States toward
Spain cannot but strike a responsive
chord in the sentimental people to the
south. The United States just now is
seeking very hard to improve its re
lations with the southern countries,
with a view to increasing trade.
Only ten nations of the world are
reedgnized by the American govern
ment with ambassadors. They are
Great Britain, France, Germany, Aus
tria Turkey, Italy, Russia, .Mexico,
Brazil, Japan.

President Heeds the Advice of
Judges and Pardons Several
Men Sent Up Long Time
WASHINGTON, May 26.—President
Wilson today disposed of twenty-eight
appeals for clemency, restoring civil
rights in thirteen cases, granting two

abstracting money from the National
bank of Lawrence county, New Castle,
Pa., likewise received a commutation of
his five-year sentence to a term of one
year and a day. The prisoner’s father
had mortgaged his home and paid off the
entire amount of $1,806 under the im
pression that his son would not be pros
ecuted. The president commuted to thir
teen months the flveyear sentences im
posed on Silas Rich, at Portland, Ore.,

To the declaration by Anhut'fe lawyer
that the court should have thrown out
testimony of Harry K. Thaw, Justice

as to the guilt of Anhut I would have
so charged the jury and instructed a
verdict for the defendant.”
