been made in the form of a card from

comp’ish anything. He states further
that he believes the liquor people are
hoping the bill will pass, thereby open

NEGRO, ATTEMPTING
TO KILL AN OFFICER,
IS BEATEN TO DEATH
VALDOSTA, GA., July 16.—E. T.
Hill, of this city, a special officer in the
employ of the Atlantic Coast Line rail
way, was shot and probably fatally
wounded today by a negro at Dupont.
Ga., whom he was trying to arrest. Tit
officer, after receiving three bullets in
his side and stomach, shot two or three
times at the negro.
Mr. Grovenstein. of Dupont, in whose
store the shooting took place, came to
the assistance of the stricken officer,
and when the smoke cleared away the
negro was lying on the floor dead with
his skull crushed.
Officer Hill was rushed to this city
on a special train. His condition is
very grave.
The negro, whose name is unknown,
yesterday shot twelve times at Con
ductor Carroll, of the Coast Line, and
the conductor fired six times at the ne
gro without effect. Officer Hill was
attempting to arrest the negro for this
shooting when he was wounded.
Hill was formerly a police officer
here and one of the bravest men on
the force. Ho is a nephew of the fa

of Tennessee, who gave his life rather
than betray to the Federals the source
of information ho received as a scout.

Schwartz. Confessing to His
Father, Advised to Kill Self.
Parent Thinks He Did.
NEW YORK. July 16.—Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Nott announced today
that two days after twelve-year-old
Julia Connors was slain. Nathan
Schwartz, who has been suspected of
the crime confessed the murder to his
own father. Samuel Schwartz.
The father today gave the prosecu
tor full details of the confession.
“I told my boy,” he declared, "that
the only thing for him to do was to go
away and kill himself. I think he did."
Schwartz’s statement followed a pa
thetic scene in the office of the prose
cutor. It was made in the presence of
the parents of the murdered girl.
The other man's dramatic statement
followed a scene unparalleled in the
criminal court's building. He and mem.
bers of his family were sitting tn the
ante-room of the grand jury room
when Mrs. Connors, mother of the
murdered child, was brought in. She
was garbed in the deepest black and
plainly on the verge of collapse.
Mother's Hysterics Brought Confession.
As she ' was taken into the grand
jury room and saw the box containing
the blood-stained garments that had
been torn from the body of her out
raged child, she became hysterical and
her cries could be heard all through the
building.
Aged Mr. Schwartz sat in his chair
as if rooted to it. His face became ash
en pale. Finally the tears began to
flow down his cheeks, and when the
heartbroken mother was led from the
room, he called to District Attorney
Nott, who was presenting the case to
the grand jury, and admitted that his
son, who had served a prison sentence
for an outrageous assault on another
child and z who was still on parole for
that crime, had admitted to him that he
had committed the . time.

T.R. RENEWS HIS
Cfly TO BATTLE
No Compromise With the Taft
Forces, But Straight New
Party, He Decrees.
•
OYSTER BAY. July 16.—There will be
no Compromise with the. Republican party
and no effort to capture it at the fall elec
tion, according to Colonel Roosevelt, but
there will be a distinct and independent
progressive third party, the watchword
and battle cry of which will be "no com
promise,'' if the colonel can have his way
In his statement he said:
"I see that in Pennsylvania and Mary
land the proposal has been made that
identical Roosevelt and Taft electors shall
run and the electors who are chosen cast
their votes for whichever one. either Mr.
Taft or myself, who gets the most, votes.
I trust that no such plan will be adopt
ed. I claim In every primary state where
the primaries were carried for me and
where electors have been nominated that
as a matter of the highest obligation
those men are bound to vote for me, for
I am the nominee of the overwhelming
majority of the rank and file of the Re
publican partv and Mr Taft's nomination
represents nothing but the successful dis
honesty of the Barnea-Penrose-Guggen
heim machine and is not. binding upon any
honest Republican.
Will Not Assent to Aid Taft.
"In certain of these states, as I under
stand it, there Is now a contest on in the
primaries to see whether my name or
that of Mr. Taft shall be put on the regu
lar ticket Instead of being nominated by
petition, it being the Intention of the
party beaten in the primary to nominate
its electors by petition. This is all right
and proper; but so far as I have any say
in the matter, 1 shall not assent to any
arrangement by which under any cir
cumstances my supporters or electors
supported by them shall cast their votes
for Mr. Taft.
"I make my appeal to all progressives
no matter what’their past affiliations may
be who genuinely believe In progressive
principles and who believe as I do that
both of the. old party organizations are
completely under the dominion of the
bosses and of special privilege and that
both the Chicago and Baltimore platforms
are fundamentally unprogressive and re
actionarv platforms, showing that it is
hopeless to expect from either of the old
parties under present conditions any real
and far-reaching progressive movement.
Therefore, I hope that in every state the
progressives without regard to their past
party as illations may have the chance
to vote at the polls for electors who, in
ithe electoral college, will cast their votes
for the national progressive candidate for
president.”

on the floor of the house during the de
bate on the county attorneys bill Mon
day were credited in The Georgian to

BLEASE EVIDENCE
POSITIMLDEB
Governor’s Accuser Declares
Proof of Alleged Pardon Brib
ery Scheme Is Complete.
Thomas B. Felder says that when
the dispensary investigating commit
tee meets again in Augusta it will be
furnished direct and absolute proof that
Governor Cole Blease, of South Caro
lina, had agreed to sell the pardon of
the notorius yeggman, Dentley, alias
Murphy, to Detective Reed, of the
Burns agency, for $15,000.
He says this will be proved by the
prisoner himself, w’ho will be sum
moned as a witness and will testify to
a conversation he had with an agent
of the governor who told him that the
pardon was ready as soon as the money
should be paid down. Mr. Felder says
he will offer further proof in the shape
of evidence showing that Governor
Blease and Nichols held a final secret
conference in Columbia the night be
fore Nichols wired the supposed attor
ney in Chicago that he should come on
at once to Spartanburg and “wind up
the pardon case.”
Mr. Felder says the telegram con
nected with the distagraph testimony
(when the bribe arrangement is alleged
to have been made) will be presumptive
evidence of a most convincing sort;
that Blease was prepared to write the
Dentley pardon when the charges of
pardon bribery cropped out in the in
vestigation.
The Burns detective, E. S. Reed, who
inveigled Lawyer Nichols into’tha hotel
in Washington and there made the
"pardon bribe deal" with the aid of the
dictagraph, left Atlanta this morning.
Deford Not Prisoner,
Says Federal Officer

uty United States Marshal Adams, of
Charleston, declares that he will give
tlte man who can show him Gus De-
Ford. at the state penitentiary. SSOO. be
cause lie has a stack of warrants in his
office for DeFord that he is anxious
to serve.
DeFord, ata matter of fact, was ar
rest-.I at Elmira, N. Y„ several years
ago, charged with safe-cracking, and
escaped In South Carolina while being
1 brought to Charleston, jumping through
a car window while shackles on. He
was never recaptured, says Mr. Adams.
The story told at Augusta before the
dispensary investigating committee
concerning the efforts to get Governor
Blease to pardon DeFord, and a later
story sent out from Columbia, pub
lishing an interview with an alleged
Gus DeFord, led Deputy Adams to make
his SSOO offer.
