NEGRO EK-CONGRESShAN
FEARED LYNCH|NG
George w. Murray Sends
Out Call for Aid

~o1 IrNRIA s. C.. Oct. 15.-There was
great excitement in the vicinity OF the
home of George Washington Murray, IN
Sumter county last night
Murray is a lawyer, and he has the
distinction of being the last negro ne
nuhlican elected to Congress IN South
Carolina. He is now prominent canal-
date for nomination in the seventh uls
triet Last night Murray thought ne
was going to be lynched- He sent out an
alarm. and negroes gathered promptly
for his defense.
IT seems that Murra- had quarrel
with white man at Gaillards, Sumter
county. Whether their difference was
political or legal is not stated. but the
negro went of in victorious mood.
Late in the evening one of Murray
brothers was at Gaillards He saw
horze-ren gathering and heard them
talking of the fuss in the afternoon. he
et once concluded there was going to
he lynching with an exCongressnan
as the victim. Murray s.. house was four
miles away through the woods, but his
brother ran the entire distance and
quickly notified the man of his supposed
peril.
While he dispatched messengers to the
sheriff he sent out runners to notify his
friends and neighbors that he needed
their protection. They were begged 10
hurry and bring IL cir guns.
The sheriff set out as soon as he
heard of the trouble. Riding hard, he
reached Murray's home just before mid
night. Fortunately, he was recognized

After investigation the sheriff decide
that there was no danger. He thinks tn

Recon- 1ends Woman Nurses.
In approving of woman nurses IN ma
val hospitals. Admiral Rixey says:
There has been growing conviction
in the minds of many of the most ex-
perienced medical officers of the service,
especially since the war with Spaln'
that the employment of women for the
nursing of the sick of our large nos
pitals would result in greater efficiency
| than has been obtained heretofore by the
use Of male nurses.
This question has been given careful
consideration by the bureau and by in
iividual medical officers. That women
are the superior of men for the work
of nursing there can be no question,
and the objection that they are not
compatible with military conditions can
scarcely apply to institutions OF the
character of our large naval hospitals
Civil hospitals in every country employ
| women 10 90 the nursing, and for no
other reason than that they I'LL the po-
sition of nurse better than men. Naval
bospitals; do not differ materially from
civil institutions for the care OF the
| sick. either in construction or routine,
and ii is believed that just as good re-
suits can be obtained from the use OF
women nurses in naval hospitals as IN
civil. and If war should come the bu-
reau would be much relieved by having
women trained nurses in its larger hes
pitals. 1t can be stated with assnr-
ance that if the patients were given
their choice of a nurse they would Sc
lect women in the large majority Of
cases. 1t is recommended that Con
gress be asked to provide at its com
ing session for the establishment of &
woman nurse corps for the navy.

KRUPP LIKES FINE INNS.
This Penchant Supposed to Have
Caused Publication AGAINST Him.

ASalhSl him.
Berlin, Nov. 1s.-The seizure by the
police of the Mondays issue of the
Vorwaerts, the Socialistic organ. for
publishing an article strongly rejecting
upon Herr Krupp, the richest man in
Germany, is likely to be followed by
an extraordinarily sensational trial, as
it is said to-day that Herr Krupp in
tends to bring criminal prosecution
against the paper.
The publication referred to was made
Saturday, and the seizure of the undis-
trlbuted portion of the edition Monday
was followed by a search of the Vor-
waerts' office for the manuscript of
the article in question, which was a
column in length, and contained what
purported to be details of the Italian
police investigation into the charges
made. The Berlin police, during the
domiciliary visit, forced the desks of
several members of the Reichstag,
among them being Herr Bebels. This,
the Vorwaerts AYERS, is contrary to the
examination and will be a matter to
be taken up later.
An acquaintance of Herr Krupp says
the latter had been aware since July
that a malicious story was in
circulation and added that it was the
result of a conspiracy of hotel keepers
at the Island of Capri, where the
great gunmaker has a residence, and
who, surprising him to be about to
build a modern hotel on the island,
where he has expended several million
marks on his villa and grounds, deter
mined to drive him from the place.
Herr Krupp has a taste for beautiful
hotels, and has built model inns at
81
many. What began as a project to
make Capri distasteful to Krupp de-
veloped, Krupp's acquaintance say,
into a scheme to blackmail, which he
has thus far ignored.
The Vorwaerts was perhaps misled,
but Herr Krupp designs taking imme-
date steps toward legal vindication.
