PEACE RBIGNS AT CLEMSON.
ThornWell and SOphOmoreS are
ReinStatGd
rrest. Hartzog Resigns, But
Board Will Not Pass on Resig-
nation Till June Meeting.
Special to Greenviile News.

hearing in the matter of the rein
statement of the Sophomores of
Clemson College was concluded
last night. The case against
President Hartzog was set for 9
o'clock this morning, but after
the meeting was opened the cadet
committee announced that thew
were willing to leave the matter
with the trustees. This action
was brought about by the state
ment semi-oflicially made, that
President Hartzog mad sent in his
resignation n week ago to take eff
feet at the pleasure of the board.
1t is understood that the board
Will act on his resignation at the
June meeting.
The meeting this morning ad-
journed early and the trustees held
a secret session to make up their
verdict in The two cases tried. In
the first, that of Cadet Thornwell,
who was suspended, the decision
was that he be ireinstated and the
punishment remitted. In the
Sophomore case the entire class
was given permission to apply for
reinstatement and will be recelv-
ed as students in good standing
with no punishment attached.
Adjournment followed lmmed.
lately and most of the board left
on the o'clock train. The trou-
BILE is considered ended. The
cadets feel that they have been
fairly treated by the board and
are satisfied. The committee of
Sophomores have decided to ad
wise their class to return to COL
lege at once and have themselves
reentereG.
The decision of the board of
trustees was unanimous and the
statement which was prepared by
a committee of the boaad was read
out to the audience by Senator
Tillman. The report of the board
of trustees thus announced con
talns severe reprimand of the
faculty because of their hasty, un-
considered action in the Thornwell
case. Senator Tillman, comment
ing upon the report, said that the
trustees had been putting the
screws to the faculty because of
the lax discipline which had be.
come prevalent; they had certainly
by their action in this matter re-
versed their policy and had gone
to- the other extreme.
The report, ho wever, while ad
mitting the sophomores to apply
for remittance to the college, con
demns the class severely for in
subordination and tho whole stu
deht body was given to under
stand distinctly that IN the future
their proper and only course in
the matter Of grievances was to
submit them to the board of trus
toes, and that hereafter snch con.
duct as had been INDUCED in by
the Sophomores would not he con
doned "ven il it became necessary
to take such action as would in .
duce the whole student body 10
leave the college.
In treating the case of Cadet
Ihornwell individually, the report
goes on to say that it is apparent
from the evidence, that ThornwelI
was guilty of nothing more than
an indiscretion, and his act had
heretofore not even been consider
ed an offence by the members of
the classes; that usage had made
it the rule for studcnts To oet their

BRYAN CHIEF SPEAKER.
Opens the Democratic Campaign in
 Missouri.

Joplin, Mo, Sept. 9.-The Democratic campaign in Missouri was opened here this evening at a meeting attended by 5.000 people. W. J. Bryan was the prin- cipaI speaker. William J. Stone, National Committeeman and candidate for Senator to succeed George G. Vest, Governor Dockery and Mayor James A. Reed of Kansas City also spoke.
 MT. Bryan talked at length on the tar- iff. saying among other things that it was time to take the tariff off at least all kinds of trust made goods. The eouu- try, he said, could not look to the Repub- licans for reforms in tariff matters, ada ing: There were more righteous men in Sodom and Gormorrah than there are tariff reformers in the Republican party"
 He declares that President Roosevelt had no remedy for the trust evil and that some of his utterances on the subject were absurd. Continuing. he said: T tell you one trust magaate in stripes be- hind the prison walls would do more to break up trusts than all the speeches the President can make. The constitutional amendment the Republicans are talking about Is not meant for the regulation of trusts but to take the power to control trusts away from he States and so pro tect trusts"

HENRY GRADY MISSING
SON OF THE FAMOUS EDITOR
 HAS DISAPPEARED.
Was last Seen in Norfolk, Va, on Friday--Believed That His Mind May Have Been Affected
 by Hay Fever.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 9.-Henry W. Grady. Jr., has disappeared and his friends and relatives are much concerned over his fate.
 Mir. Grady is the only son of the late Henry W. Grady, editor of The Atlanta Constitution, who at the time of his death was probably the most popular man in the South.
 Young MT. Grady was last seen at Nor folk. Va, Friday of last week when he left the hotel where he was stopping with hIs wife and child. in order to secure transportation for the return trip to Att lanta, his home. Since that time no trace of him has been found by any member of his family.
 Mrs. Grady. prostrated with grief, has returned to Atlanta.
 Eugene R. Black, a prominent attorney of this city and brother-in-law of MT Grady, is now in New York in quest of him. having abandoned all hope ot ma" ing him in Norfolk.
 Mr. Grady has long suffered from se- were attacks of hay fever, and it is thought by some of his close friends that his protracted illness has affected his mind. The strongest theory advanced in explanation of his disappearance Is that he might have wandered aboard an outgoing steamer or train while under temporary mental alteration.
 The theory of four play has also been put forward, but 1t is difficult to find a motive for this, as MT. Grady had only a small amount of money upon his person when he was last seen.
 The theory of suicide is not entertain ed by his family or friends. His domestic life was happy and he was in very com- fortab,e circumstances. Every possible effort will be made to locate Mir. Grady if he is still alive. The entire country will be searched for him and the police of every city, domestic and foreign, will be notified to watch for him.
 The missing man was for time prom inent in Atlanta political life. having been City Councilman for two years. He has for some years been connected with The Constitution in an editorial and re- portorial capacity. His wife was Miss Grace Gould of St. Louis.

 olina and yesterday through Tennessee I have been struck by the evidences of industrial growth of which this too is it. self an example. The industrial awaken ing of the South. of whih there have been so many evidences during the past few years, is a feature fraught with great benefit to the South and to the entire ountry. Applause.)a)
 Because, remember. my fellow citi- gems, we are going to go up or down to- gether. Some of us will feel the good times more than others. some less but we all feel the good times somewhat and when bad times come. we will all be put back. Bad times do not stop at State lines and the industrial awakening of the South which Is going on and which believe will go on with ever-increasing rapidity. means good fortune not merely for the South, but for all the American people. It always happens that good year for crops is a good year for weeds. When we have prosperity some people. but some for whom we do not much care, prosper more than others. but 1t Is great deal better that some people should prosper too much than that none of us should prosper at all. The gospel UT lHteiilSent nara WOTk lS Lne SOSpci that pays. and of all the gospel the one that pays the least is that of envy and rancor, whether 1t is a gospel preached to in infiame class against class or sec tion against section. (Applause) And SO, my fellow citizens, I hail your indus trial growth. I hail the manifestation I see here in this State and which I saw yesterday in Tennessee; the manifesto ton of the rapid approach of the period of tremendous industrial development in the South. I hail it for the sake of the South and I hail 1t for the sake of the nation"
 The President was heartily cheered as the train, pulled away.
 At Statesville. where several hundred persons had assembled, the President was introduced by Congressman Black burn, who also accompanied him from Asheville. He addressed the crowd for few moments an then a picture was taken of the President and his party grouped on the rear platform of his car.

Rebate Law Proposed.

Washington, Sept 9.-In dispatch from United States Minister Squiers at Ha- vana, dated September ?. the Department of State is informed that a proposed law for one year. the period during which certain railway material. sugar machin- cry ard agricultural implements may be imported at a rebete of 50 per cent, has been introduced, but MT. Squiers adds that he thinks that the Cuban Congress will have little inclination to take up the proposed law for immediate consideration on account of tho great amount of work already before it.

CROWDS ON THE WAY.
The President Makes Several Short
 Speeches.

Salisbury. N. c, Sept. 9.-President Roosevelt arrived here at 6:3n o'clock this evening on the way to Washington. and was welcomed by a large crowd. The run from AshevilIe through the mount 1lns was greatly enjoyed by the Pre sidcnt, who praised the scenery and the engineering skill displayed in building the road
 A short stop was made at Old Fort, and here the President found large number of country people waiting to greet him. He said:
 'I have time only to say word of thanks and of greeting to you. It has been great pleasure to come through North Carolina today and to meet your people. I count myself lucky in being here. A good American is a good Ameri- can anywhere you find him. You do not find any better than in North Carolina (Applause) The man who is a decent citizen, a good husband, a good father, behaves we'll with hls neighbod and does his duty for the State, is a decent citi- zen north or south or east or west And if he does not behave himself then he is A poor citizen. north and south or east or west.

THREE BODIES FOUND.
Chicago Police Now Grappling With
 Another, Mystery.

Chicago. Sept 9.-The discovery of three human bodies at 209 and 27ll State Street has started an investigation of the premises by the police, the coroner and the city Health Department.
 One of the bodies was that of an adult and the authorities are prepared to be- lieve either that a murder was com mitted or 1t is simply evidence of an illegal burial. It was found at 27ll State Street The other two bodies were those of babies. They were found In wooden box covered with sawdust, in the under taking establishment of Charles Johnson. 27Oo State Street. The undertaken de- clares that there was but one body in the box and he produced burial permit for 1t. William Deklssock, plumber, who made the discovery, asserts there were two bodies.
 There are surface indications which lead Coroner Traeger and the health au- thorities to suspect that the back yards of the two places may be found to con- tain the graves of other persons.

KNOWN IN WASHINGTON. <
Department Has No Desire to Aid n
 Prosecution.

&
 Washington, Sept s.-The fac srepofE ed from Italy as to Gerimondrs arresE have been known to the State Depart ment for some time. The principal catIse for his removal at Santos was the fact that he spent the greater part of his time in saying mass at various churches and almost entirely neglected his consular du- ties, causing the lodgment of many indig~ nant protests by commercial interests~s
 Some time ago the Department was ace quainted with the fact that Gerimond& was sailing under false colors in Italy. using State Department stationary and representing himself to be the Unite6 States Consul General to Persia as we'll as General Inspector of Consulates.
 Consul Pierson, at Genoa. was instruct- ed to look into the case. and going to Omaglapatrie. he found Gerimondi The latter tried to present a bold front. but finally broke down, confessed his decep- tions and surrendered the Department stationery.
 While the consul was considering his case. Gerimondi was arrested by the io- cal authorities on the charge of betrayinx the daughter of an ancient Italian house. and thrown into prison. The Italian gov- ernment also took note of his fraudulent practices and sought to know the pleasure of the United States in the matter of his prosecution.
 After full consideration and seeing thak the man was already in the way to bo roundly punished for his other offences, the State Department declined to express any wish in the matter. leaving Gsrf- mondi to be dealt with by the application of the local law. He is said to have had a most extraordinary career and although almost unlettered he had succeeded fin att taching himself to many positions of great prominence in the course of his ca- reer and using them to secure his ads vancement. f&

RooSEVELTS POSITION.
Will not Act unless Asked to do so
 by Both Sides.

Cincinnati. Sept. 9-A. guest of the President during his trip through Penn sylvania, when asked If the settlement of the Pennsylvania coal strike was discuss ed, said it was. The President said the printed interview with him on that sub ject was imaginative. The guest of the President went on to say that no man deplores the situation more than the President does, but he does not under stand how he can take any part in ad- justing the difficulties.
 It Is proposed that he act because he is President. Any interference on his part except by request of both parties would be construed into a threat to use the great power of his office to coerce one side or the other. If that were really so. the action would be interference and not arbitration If both sides should make the request that that he sSould se- feet an arbitration committee. he would be glad to do SO. but he could not give his personal time to investigation of the

ACTIVITY IS NOTICED .
Believed There is No Ground For
 Talk of Settlement.

Scranton, Pa. Sept. 9.-General Super intendent Rose of the Delaware and Hud- son Railroad Company mine department said today that he had no knowledge of any negotiations which could possibly lead to a settlement of the strike this week, next week or any other definitely determined time. He said the Delaware and Hudson Company stands in exactly the same position as it did In the begin ming of the strike. and had no intention of offering any concessions.
 This statement by Superintendent Rose is in harmony with similar statements made by Superintendent May of the Erie and Superintendent Philips of the Lacka- wanna. recently.
 Notwithstanding the denials of the pro- bability of an early settlement, the opin- ion prevails here that the mine superin- intendents have Knowledge of some move ment which Is likely to end the strike. During the past few days, there has been unusual activity in the movement of coal cars on the four coal carrying railroads whose mining 6 operations are centered here. Long lines of coal cars have been placed on sidings convenient to the diff ferent collierieS.

BACK DOOR DECISIONS.
Legislator Inveighs Against Court
 Methods in Ohio.

Columbus. O., Sept. 9.-It develops to- day that Senators Hanna and Foraker will seek to have the franchise clause in the Nash code entirely eliminated. leav- ing the present laws stand as they are, but that they will endeavor to have a curative clause inserted which will pro- tect the interests of the Cincinnati Trac- ton Company. which are involved in the recent decision of the Superior Court of Cincinnati holding the Rogers law, under which it had a fifty-year grant. with for ty-six years yet to run, to be unconsti- tutional The Nash code provides for twenty-five year grants. giving Councils the right to revise the fares every ten years.
 At the meeting of the special commit tee of the House, the question was rais- ed whether 1t would not be constitutional to authorize Councils to create such bcaIds as the smaller cities may desire. and to consist of one, three or five mem bers. It was suggested that the Supreme Court might be asked about the matter, and this was decided upon.
 Representative Marion Price of Athens Cot nty, in a speech in the House this morning, denounced the method of secur- ing back door decisions from the Supreme Court of the State, and created something of sensation.

DISSIPATION OF THE BOOTHS.
Head of the Salvationists Will At
 tempt a Reconciliation.

New York, Sept. 9.-A former officer of the Salvation Army, who does not wish to be mentioned in the matter, said to- day that Herbert Booth, who recently left the army, is now in America, having arrived a few weeks ago, and that it is highly probable that General William Booth will arrive in this country within few weeks to make an effort to bring a reconciliation between himself and his children, six of whom are now out of the Salvation Army.
 General Ballington Booth of the Volun- teers of America, tonight at his home in Mont Clair. N. J.. refused to discuss the matter in any form.
