England Not to Join
In the Panama Fair
Special Cable to The Georgian.
LONDON, July 31.—The foreign
office to-day announced that England
would not participate in the Panama
Exposition in San Francisco in 1916.
There is considerable mystery in
diplomatic circles over England’s re
fusal, but outside of the bare an
nouncement made by the foreign
office, no further statement was is
sued.
It is generally believed, however,
that England adopted this attitude
because she still resents the treat
ment accorded her by the United
States in the Panama Canal tolls con
troversy.

Fate Drags Major Francis Walker
to Vagrant's Cell—Career
Heads Like Novel.
COLUMBIA, S. C„ July 31.—Major
Francis Douglass Walker, 72 years
old, is dead at the Home for Confed
erate Soldiers here. He was a mem
ber of the Pinckney family and
fought in many big battles of the war
between the states.
After the war he went to New York
City to enter business and was for a
time prominent in social circles, fn
1908 r after a series of financial losses,
he jvas sent to Blackwell’s Island as
a vagrant.
Major Walker was aent here by a
group of wealthy New York women of
Southern birth, who arranged a ba
zaar in his benefit at the Waldorf-As
toria.
Major Walker was a cadet at the
Military Academy in Charleston when
the first Confederate gun was fir^d
at P'ort Sumter. He jumped trytn the
classroom and ran to the water’s edge,
four classmates with him. There was
no boat, so they swam half a mile
to the Ironclad Battery which helped j
batter the Federal fortress Into sub- j
mission.
Flogs Rival on Stage.
In the winter of 1877 Walker was
the chief actor in an event that
stirred Brooklyn’s society folk and
became a national sensation. One
night in the old Academy of Music,
where the Amaranth Society wc.s giv
ing an amateur performance, Walker
jumped on the stage and horsewhip
ped a player who was his rival for
the love of a young widow. Walker !
had warned him not to appear in the
same caat with the woman. The man !
Walker whipped later became vice
president of one of the, most impor
tant corporations in the world and
the husband of the young woman.
Walker was arrested for assault.
After a trial he was sentenced to 60
days in the penitentiary on Crow
Hill. His lawyers soon got him out
of Jail and a petition was started o
his behalf, which was signed by Hen
ry Ward Beecher. A letter from Gov
ernor Hampden to Governor Robinson
turned the tide in his favor. He did
not return to the penitentiary. He
tK.vpled for. many years and then
poverty overtook him.
Asks Shelter; Sent to Jail.
One night in the fall of 1908 a tail
man with snow’ white hair stood be-,
fore Magistrate Tighe in the Adams
police court in Brooklyn and asked
for a night’s lodging. It was Major
Walker. The Magistrate could do
nothing but commit him to the pen
itentiary for six months. Then,
through the co-operation of the Con
federate Veteran Camp of New York,
and the U. S. Grant Post, G. A. R.,
of Brooklyn, the Major was trane-
ferred to the King’s County Alms
house.
Wealthy women of Southern birth
heard of Walker’s troubles. They or
ganized a bazaar at the Waldorf-As
toria on January 14, 1909, and $3,000
was raised for his benefit. With this
money he was sent to the Soldiers’
Home at Columbia,, where friends got
a clerical position for him. Major
Walker had outlived all his relatives.
