DRUNK, WILLIAMS
CHASES NEIGHBOR
WOMAN WITH KNIFE
Although he chased Mrs. Daisy Crab
tree with a knife, wrecked her home,
and created a general “rough house,”
G. H. Williams, of 25 Fowler street,
told Recorder Broyles today that all he
remembered of the whole affair was
that he leaped out of a window and
made his escape. He said he was
crazed by drink.
Mrs. Crabtree occupies a part of the
house with Williams and his family.
Williams, who had been drinking, be
came angered at Mrs. Crabtree, demol
ished her furniture, and started after
her with his knife. She saved herself
by slamming to a door. The door was
shut with such force, however, that the
glass was broken, some of it falling and
cutting Mrs. Crabtree on the head.
Judge Broyles fined Williams $15.75,
and ordered him held on a warrant for
assault and battery, asked by Mrs.
Crabtree.

turbed by the new rates.

Wilson Has left Seagirt and today is in
seclusion, writing his speech of accept
ance of the Democratic presidential nomi
nation. He will be away three days, and
possibly a week. When the governor left

to attack the bosses in his speech or
to pass that issue over in favor of others
like the tariff and the high cost of living
One element among the governor’s Inti
mate advisers favors a conciliatory course
toward bosses. They have suggested that
whereas the Democratic platform con
tains no plank on the boss question, It
is not incumbent upon him to speak of
i‘, and that the effect of any harsh words
would be a disturbance of the present har
monious condition of the Democratic
party.
Another element, representing more
particularly admirers of William .1, Bryan,
wants Governor Wilson to attack the
bosses.

EMPEROR OF JAPAN /
GROWING STRONGER;
CITIZENS REJOICING
TOKIO, July 23.—Further Improve
rnent was shown in the condition of
Emperor Mutsuhlto today, although a
short sinking spell caused alarm this
afternoon. The royal patient raJUed,
however, and his condition was fur
ther strengthened by stimulants.
Though the physicians were optimistic
in bulletins issued during the day, they
held out no great hope of the emper
or’s recovery. One said:
“He has a chance,” but would add-no
more. ’
The great fear was that the poison In $
the system caused by uremia would as- t
feet the heart. Efforts were made to/
combat this. There was an Indication )
that the poison was gaining a strong /
foothold when the first bulletin of tha,
day announced that the patient had
been “somewhat sleepless during the
night.” In the early morning there
was a marked increase In tempera
ture, but the physicians said this was I
to be expected. j
Profound rejoicing was seen on every
hand today as a result of the physi
cians’ bulletins.
NO “MYDEARJOHN”
OR “MY DEAR COLE;”
IT’S “YOU’RE A LIAR”
f
CHARLESTON, S. C.. July 23.—May- 1
or Grace, of Charleston, has called;
Governor Cole Blease a plain, unvar- 1
nished liar because the governor says ]
that Grace has brought out the Charles- j
ton constable graft scandal because he ,
could not get the control and appoint- ;
ment of the constabulary force into his
own hands. This is in a measure a i
complimentary return for the statement
of Blease here that anybody who said
he had taken graft was a character
thief and a cowardly liar. To such a
plane has the exchange of courtesies
between the mayor of Charleston and
the governor of South Carolina de
scended. It is no longer "My dear
John” and "My dear Cole,” although it
has not been stated that Colonel Grace
has resigned from the governor's staff ,
as yet.

thereby preventing the prompt pay
ment of salaries to teachers.
