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.

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 next week. CARNEGIE TAKES ISSUE WITH DR. LYMAN ABBOTT Handsome Sufl to Our — Agents Write Today.

Paragon Tailoring Co., Depilsoe, i Chicago, III, (By Associated Press.) 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. VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHES CENSORSHIP? (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, May 26—Venezuelan gov ernment officials$yesterday withheld a telegram to the correspondent of the As sociated Press at Caracas, Venezuela, re questing details of the arrest of many Venezuelans there, and the reason for the flight of Dr. Leopoudo Baptista, former secretary general to President Gomez, and of General Juan Pablo Penalosa from the Venezuelan capital to Curacoa, where they arrived in a small sailing boat on Wednesday.

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.)

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 yesterday, wet, cold and mud bespat tered.

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.

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.

WILSON SHOWS MERCY TO MANY OFFENDERS 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 pardons, commuting the sentences of seven prisoners and denying the applica-: tions of six.
