NEGRO SEARCHED HOUSE
WITH OCCUPANTS CLOSE BY
In Broad Daylight Bold
Burglar Ransacked Capt.
Battle’s House At 1463
Broad Street.
Coolly ignoring the presence of Mrs.
Wm. P. Battle sitting on her front
porch a few feet away, a negro burg
lar ransacked the drawers and other
receptacles in the front room of Capt.
Wm. P. Battle, of No. 1463 Broad
street Friday afternoon. The negro
nfteT being discovered by Mrs. Sid
ney Butler, Capt. Battle’s daughter,
made his escape through the back
door as coolly as he entered the
house. He has not been apprehend
ed. The negro did not get anything
out of the house.
Mrs. Battle and her daughter were
sitting on the front porch while the
negro was at work behind them and
if they had even turned their heads,
they would have seen him. Mrs. But
ler went into the house, and noticed
the clothes and other articles on the
floor. Looking around she saw the
negro trying to hide behind the door.
He saw her at the same time and im
mediately ran out the back way.
The negro either came in the back
door or one of the side windows and
went to the front room and opened
the top drawer in the dresser. Mrs.
Butler’s watch was in the drawer, but
for some reason he did not get it.
It is believed that he turned some
clothes over the watch and did not
see it. He went through the drawers
in the dresseT and then went into
the adjoining room and did the same.
He would have no doubt made away
M % some of the valuables if Mrs.
Sutler had not come into the room.
The negro displayed the utmost
nerve by entering the room when the
ladles were on '• porch. He must
have been in *’•• ’ ” 'me time to
have made the 'Sh search he
did. He did not r.i • xclted when
he was discovered As soon as
be got to the door he started on a
run for the back fence, which he
vaulted. The police are at work on
the case.

TILLMAN WENT TO
BAIQUETFOR TAFT
President Took South Car
olina Senator Home in
Private Automobile after
Supper.
WASHINGTON. —President Taft
Saturday night was entertained at a
banquet tendered him by the citizens
of Washington, under the auspices of
the board of trade and the chamber
of commerce. More than three hun
dred representative business men of
the national capital were present, and
an array of prominent men in public
life were present as guests.
When the president was being in
troduced, Senator Tillman strode in
to the hall toward the president. The
latter greeted him and grasped his
hand cordially, remarking:
"Hello, senator, what are you try
ing to pass yourself off for tonight,”
Tillman, laughing, rejoined: "Oh, J
just drifted in here to see how you
would behave yourself among the com
mon people,”
This merry interchange provoked
much amusement among the guests.
President Taft made a thirty-min
ute spe&;h during which he declar
ed that he was strongly in favor of
retaining the municipal form of gov
ernment for the District of Columbia,
but that he had not reached any con
clusion as to what he would recom
mend to congress about the real point
of contention, whether there shall be
a governor or three commissioners as
at present. The president declared
himself unalterably opposed to the
plan for suffrage in the district. When
the president left the hotel he Invited
Mr, Tillman to join him In the White
House automobile and the president j
took the South Carolina senator to the
layer's home.

STATE WILL TAKE
EX-SULTAN’S
MONEY
Abdul Hamid Had Large
Fortune in Royal Palace
and Much Money De
posited in Foreign Banks
CONSTANTINOPLE.—Up to the
present time the sum of $7,500,000
has been found In the treasury boxes
of the imperial palace at Yildlz, oc
cupied before his deposition by Abdul
Hamid. Two and a half million dol
lars of this Is in cash while $5,000,-
000 is in marketable securities equiva
lent to cash. Furthermore, papers
were found indicating that Abdul
Hamid has on deposit in Germany,
England, France and the United
States upwards of $15,000,000.
It Is understood that the cabinet
takes the attitude that all three for
eign deposits as well as the treasury
at Yildlz, are the property of the
state. Two courses are open to the
government respecting these foreign
deposits; one is to obtain them
through legal process, and the other
through authorization from Abdul
Hamid himself.
It is not believed that Abdul Ham
id will refuse to direct his agents to
pay over these sums for the reason
that as a prisoner it Is quite Impos
sible for him to make use of the
money, while by giving It up he may
secure advantages during his captiv
ity and possibly be given a share of
the foreign deposits and Investments
for his family.
TAFT MAY ATTEND
WATERWAYS MEET
WASHINGTON. A delegation rep
resenting the Deep Waterways asso
ciation was told by President Taft
that he hoped to be abie to attend
the convention scheduled for New
Orleans, November 11 to 13. The
president’s acceptance depends large
ly upon the contingency of his mak
ing an extended western trip late in •
the summer and fall. 1
SEN. SMITH STANDS
FOR FREE LUMBER
Special to The Herald.
COLUMBIA, S. C.—Senator E. D,
Smith has changed his mind about
voting for a duty on lumber, so the
South Carolina delegation in the sen
ate will ho solid for free lumber,
Senator Tillman having already ex
pressed his views. Senator Sndlh says
he is convinced after studying the
democratic platform more carefully
that It Is mandatory upon him to vote
for free lumber.
As far as the preservation of the
forests around the headquarters of
the streams Is concerned, Senator
Smith Is convinced that removal of
the duty on quebracoo, a kind of
Juice used In tanning, would be more
effective than free lumber, at least
for the protection of Southern water
sheds. The standard tanning juice
comes from the bark of the chestnut
trees, and it Is the barking of these
trees that tends chiefly to denude
the forests.
ONE MAN KILLED
