BROKEN ENGAGEMENT
CRAWFORD WON'T TELL WAR DE-
PARTMENT HIS REASONS
H"" written to Miss Douglasa's Mother,
and II Frionds OF Family DO not Mako
Lottor Public He'u bo Exunorated.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The decis-
ion not 10 appoint VIM. p, Crawford,
of Chostor S. c., to lieutenancy in
tho army because he broke his on
gagoment to Miss RoDecca Douglass
Of that place, has boen held in abey-
ance by Secretary Root unlil ho can
secure further Information as to the
young mans conduct There IS
now Point to bo settled and the final
outcome of this interesting controv-
orsy doponds upon tho contents Of n
lotter, which are ~ yot q secret.
Tho secretary Of war decided, after
it had practically been determmed
not to appoint Crawford, to give him
m opportunity to explain his action
aud granted him hearing for that
purpose. The young candidate for
military honors cumo to Washington
and made personal statement to
Secretary Root. His frankuoss i'm
pressed the secretary very much.
lIo admitted bronking al engage
mont to marry Miss Douglass, "c-
knowledgrd that up to two or three
days before breaking it he had givon
hor no suggestion that he did not in
teLd to marry hor, but he declared
that be had good reason for not full
filling his promise. Secretary Root
asked him for his ronson. This young
Crawford declined to give. He OK
planned that he had writton to Miss
Douglss's mother, stating his reasons,
aud that he considered they were con-
iidential with her. He had no OBJ
joction whatever to her stating them
to tho war department or tho Presi-
dent, but ho declined to do 30. In
this Secretary Root agreed with MIR.
Crawford.
Accordingly he suggested to the
friends Of Miss Douglass, who had
objected to Crawfords appointment,
that thoy secure from Mrs Douglass
Il copy Of the yonng mans lottcr Of
explanation. His reason for this was
that he desired to base his action up
on tho reasons advanced and to de-
termino himself whether there WAS
sufficient ground for Crawford's ac-
ton.
In his opinion, the reasons may
have sho wn that Crawford either WAS
justified or acted disgracefnlly. 1t
has now keon several weeks since
this desire Of Secretary Root was con-
veyed to the friends Of Miss DougInss.
Up to this time they have not pro-
duced Cruwford's letter to Mrs.
Douglass.
1t is now said that tho secretary OF
war will wait Il reasonable time for
tho senators and congressman who
have opposed Crawford's appoint
mont to produce this letter, and if IT
not done no will talto it for granted
that Crawfords r roasons we're sui1i.
cient to Justify his breaking his on
yagem"nt.

THE LIBERTY BELL.
Preparations FOR ita Removal from PhiIa-
delphia to OharleHton Have Al
ready Been Begun.

The "Liberty Boil" will be one of
the features Of the South Carolina
Inter State and West Indian Exposi-
tion, and from the time when it is
removed from it's present resting
place until it is restor ID there will
be all kinds Of honors showered upon
this famous relic. The liberty bell
will be brought direct from Phila-
delphia to Char lesion and will be OK
hibited in the Philadelphia building.
This will make the BELLS fourth
trip out of Philadelphia, within lit
tie more than quarter Of Il century.
Preparations for it's removal have al.
ready begun. The work will be at.
tended with all the dignity that ma.
tional and civic pride demands, and
the bell dear to the hearts of MILLIONS,
will 60 out of Philadelphia to the
music of bands and the march of
men. The parade Will not be impos
ing for Its size, but it will be impor
tant on account of those who will
have the honor of participating in it.
An escort of councilmeD has already
been appointed. A Philadelphia safe
building company will have the con-
tract of removing the bell to Char
lesion. The truck on whicI. t will
be hauled from the State House to
the Pennsy lvania Railroad yards will
be decorated with the national colors.
Six or eight horses will be attached
to the truck on either side of which
will stand Gordon Of police. A
dozen reserves, all moro than six
feet in height, will take their places
beside the bell when it is secured on
the truck, and the procession will
move up Chestnut to Broad street.
The flat car on which it will be placed
will have railing built around it.
At one end Of the car there will be
cabin, to be used as a shelter for the
guards. Cabin and railing will be
decorated with gay colors and an in
scri ption on the side of the car will
read: "Philadelphia to Charleston"
A long line of police will form
guard when the bell is being loaded
on the car. The car will then be at
tached to special train containing
the councilmen, city officials and
other prominent persons who will &C
company the bell on it's journey.
In the cities and at the intermedi-
ate towns and villages along the
route the journey of the bell will be
marked by patriotic demonstrations.
Appeals are already being received
by Chief Plerie, Of the city property
bureau, asking that the bell be sent
through certain towns on the way to
its destination, 30 that the people
may voice their reverence in public
festivities. The demonstrations will,
no doubt, be second to those which
marked the shipment of the bell to
New Orleans on January %, 1885.
As the car containing the bell, guard
ed by armed men, bowled through
cities aud towns church bolls we're
rung, cannon doomed, music was
played and people shouted. Through
the night as the bell sped on, bonfires
from the hlllsides, farmers milk Ian
terms, furnace fires and long lines of
torches lighted it's way. The bell
was sent to Chicago in 1903 and to
Atlanta in 1906.
