The mosquitoes seem to have gotten
away with the federal and state off
cials down in Texas. It is about time
now for the theory of these insects pro-
ducing and spreading yellow fever to be
exploded. The former idea as to mos
quitoes was that their sting was anti
malarial-that the incubation of poi
son from their bite tended to prevent
yellow fever and other malarial dis
eases; that their presence in gaalarial
sections was wise and benefceut pro-
vision of nature to help man fight
against this dread disease of the
swamp lands. But science has gone
back on nature and now declares 'ths
the mosquito produces these diseases.
The theory that mosquitoes could not
generate in swamps and stagnant water
when kerosene oil was used seems to
have been proven to be incorrect also.
The Jersey people say that they have
more Of them and larger ones where
they ha<e used the oil profuse1y.

to commit murder, could not reach a
verdict after bieng out thirty-si
hours, when one of them suggested
fipping nickels-heads to convict, tails
to acquit. Each juror put nickle in
a hat, a shake and toss and the nickles
fell on the table, six and six, necessi-
tating another toss. The second trial
showed four heads and eight tails, re-
sulting in acquital. The court accept
ed the verdict, but did not know how
it was reached untis today. The State

AS a Precautlon.

About this season of the year; and
until the approach of the summer
months, smallpox begins to make its
appearance in different parts of the
State. This is accounted for by experts
of much experince as due to the as
sembing of large crowds who attend
circuses, state fairs and varions other
forms of amusement. It frequently
happens that the disease presaIls in
the rural sections for some time be-
fore it is reported to the State Board
of Health and persons from these in
fected houses attend these circuses
and other crowded places Of amuse-
ment carrying in their clothing and
baggage the germs of the disease.
Coming as these people do from all
over the state, and also neighboring
states, 1t is easy to see how wide
spread the source of Infection may be.
Successful vaccination is the only
knewn protection against smallpox. .
The City Council and Board Of
Health os Sumter have always endeav-
ored to keep the population of Sumter
yaccinated as near as it is possible.
Health Oficer E. I, Reardon advises
all presonsswho have not been success
fully yaccMated to be vaccinaSed nm
mediately as this insures protection at
home and soroad. This warning has
been repeated time and again, and it
should be needed. The virulency of
she disease, and the death rate has in-
creased enormously in the past two
years.
While there is q little smallpox in
the state now, still the season ap-
proaches when experience teaches that
It spreads rapidly. There is none in
this section of the state, and there
need be none il every one will be vac
ciaated successfully.

FURTHER PROBING

overhouling of all the affairs of that
offico and matters in every department

1t is stated that no charges are on
file regarding the New York Office,
but the facts established by the in
spectors when the lines of the general
Investigations led to that Office On a
number of subjects, long ago persuad-
ed the investigating authorities of the
desirability of a general and detailed
probing into the affairs of Postmaster
Van Colts office. There have been
many reports of laxity of administra-
tion and extravaganza and all these
will be looked into.
Postmaster General Payne tonight
said that the investigation of the New
York Office had been contemplated for
long time and that the only reason
it has not taken place before now was
the inability to spare any of the men
who have been ferreting the frauds
under the general inquiry. He sug-
gested that other large offices would be

Schwab and his Methods.

Serious charges are made against
Charles NJ. Schwab, late president of
the Steel Trust, by Daniel Leroy
Dresser, who claims that he deliher-
ately planned to wreck the Shipbuild-
ing Trust, involving enormous loss to
investors The revelations which have
come forth daily have been startling,
and they give the public concrete
idea of the methods adopted by these
kings of finance in their efforts to
form great combinations. After draw
ing from the confding public nearly
twice the value of his Bethlehem Steel
Works, Schwab, according to Dresser,
proceeded under power of his mortgage
to get possession of all the other
plants of the shipbuilding company
itself. Dummy directors,'7 who re-
present nothing, were produced in
court by counsel for the creditors, and
further proof of the Schwab scheming
was given. These fake directors did
not even know where the plants in
which they wree financially interested,
were located, nos could they tell from
whom they had received blocks Of
stock. They did not pay for it, and
they were merely the tools of man
who sought great power and wealth by
feecing the army of investors, willing
to put faith in venture because of
his past record which appeared to be
honest.
This Dresser version of Schwab,
however, is not. in accord with what
the public has been familiar Unless
he was anxious for unlimited control,
or was determined to even old scores
with his business enemies, it is diff
cult to understand why he should have
resorted to dishonesty. IF he was not
the prime mover himself the tstimony
is sufficiently clear to indicate that he
Was cognizant of every crooked step,
and it is openly charged that he was
willing party to underhanded practice,
the purpose Of which was to send the
shipbuilding concern into bankruptcy,
so that all the profits and benefits
would accrue to Schwab.-Greenville,

TEN LIVES LOST IN SUBWAY.
Disastrous GaYe-in Of Tunnel in
New York.
Twenty Men Were at Work and
all but. Six Caught in a Terri
BILE Fall of Rock Which Fol-
lowed a Blast.

New York, Oct. 25.-Ten lives were
lost by the cave-in of the roof and
walls of the subway tunnel at l95th
street last night, and four presons were
badly injured. All of the dead and
injured we're workmen and most of
them Italians. Following is list of
their names: Timothy Sullivan, fore
man; William Schuet5e, electrician !;
Giuseppe Barone, Stanzione Bruno !;
Louisl Tippoi. Injured: Juno Pasquale
Batasto Velantio, Alphonse Aramtello /;
Juno Baski.
The accident was the most disas-
ferrous that has occurred in the con-
sruction of the subway. At the point
where the cave-in occurred a gang of
twenty men were at work in the tun-
mel, which is about ITO feet below the
surface.
Rufus Chun, general superintendent
of the tunnel work, said today that
qwo converging seams had appeared in
the roof Of the tunnel during the day
work on Sunday. The presence Of
these seams, however, was not believ-
ed to indicate any more dangerous
character Of the rock than previously
had been encountered, although it was
found necessary to prop the roof with a
number of uprigb s>timber braces.
The tunnel was being bored by open
ing a perpendicular embrasure III the
face Of the bore, and blasting the sides
to tine right and left of this embrasure.
Three blasts were arranged by the
drillers, the holes being charged we'll
toward the roof. The drllers then
withdrew, and the three blasts were
set off in rapid succession by electri-
city, 1oosening large quantities of
earth and rock. The drillers say that
about ten minutes elapse to allow yshe
smoke to clear way before Timothy
Sullivan, the foreman, and Electrician
Schuette approached, the latter to
string wires and hang lamps to light
the way. They were followed by six
teen workmen. The vanguard OF the
gang handS reachde the stone when a
Tumbling sound was beard. Those in
the rear had just time to turn and
run, when, with a deafening crash,
hundreds of tons of rock fell Oh the
men at the face of the boring. When
the roar had ceased the cries Of injur-
ed worknien echoed through the tun-
mel. Two negroes, in charge of tram
car, rushed to the opening at 2O0sh
street and telephoned an alarm to
police headquarters Reserves we're
Immediately ordered to view the
scenes, while ambulances wore sent

Law as TO COTTON FUTURE DEBTS.
After Ten Years it is Determined
by the Federal Court That Such
Debts Must be Paid.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Greenville, Oct. 25.-Two years age
there was an interesting case relating
to cotton futures in the United States
circuit court, in which an action was
brought by J. H. Parker & Co., cotton
brokers of New York, against VIM. A:
Moore of Spartanburg county, claim
ing 81, 300 as being due to the firm
upon series of transactions in cotton
futures which we're handled by them
for Mr.. Moore. While the market kept
advancing the firm placed the profits
to the credit of their customer, but
when a decline took place the brokers
kept the account alive at their own
expense, sending statements to Moore
and asking for remittances to make
good the loss, to which the defendant
made no reply, and finally the account
was closed with Moore in arrears tc
the brokers in the sum Of $4,000, fol-
which the firm sued him in the United
States circuit court.
In order to prevent judgment being
entered against him, the defendan,
Moore relied upon the statute of this
State which declares null and void any
debt growing out of speculation in
futures, where the intent of parties is
not to buy the comodity, but only to
gamble upon the fluctuations of the
market. Moore testified i'm accordance
with the statute, and Judge Simon
ton held the case from the jury. rem
dering a decision in favor of Moore.
The circuit court of appeals reversed
this decision and ordered a new trial,
with instructions that the case be al
lowed to reach the jury.
The second trial took place on Wed
nesday. and resulted in a verdict fo1
the plaintiffs, the sum of 81, $50 being
awarded to them against the estate Of
W. A. Moore, who has died since the
suit began. The testimony taken al
the former hearing was submitted tc
the jury, to which very little was add
ed, though interesting points of Law
were discussed by attorneys on both
sides. Judge Simonton instructed the
iusy that Moore could not take advan.
tage of his own wrong to have the
contracts declared null and void unde1
the statute, even though he never hao
any intention of actual delivery un-
less it was shown that the PLAINTIFF
were cognizant of such intention on
tae part of Moore and we're equally
guilty of disregarding the law of this
State.
Messrs. G. 2. Sanders. Of Spartan.
burg and Thos. P. Cothran of this
city represented the plaintiffs, with
