EXTENSIVE GRAFT
 EXPOSED ON STAND
MORE LIGHT THROWN ON THE NEW YORK FIRE INSURANCE AD- JUSToRS AND SCHEMES TO SPINDLE COMPANIES

New York, December 7.-startling dis closures based upon information obtained through a confession made by Max kairn- field, public fire adjustor. who has been convicted of fraud in connection with a claim of loss he had himself put in, and who will be sentenced on Friday, were made this evening by Assistant District Attorney GarvAn.
 The cases of twelve persons who are suspected of having defrauded insurance companies in a similar manner will be presented to the grand jury within few days. Among them are three lawyers, several merchants. several public fire ad- iustors and two or three adjustors em- pIoyed by fire insurance companies Mir. Garvan declared that fire insurance com panies have lots hundreds of thousands of dollars through paying false claims of loss.
 One of these persons is merchant worth S5OO coo. and another is q president of a corporation which enS9loyes 400 men.
 Fire patrolmen, men empioyed by the board of fire underwriters to take charge of properties after fires nave been extin- guished and save as much property as possible. AIr. Garvan alleges. have been in league with fire adjustors, Instead of doing their duty, he says he knows that in many instances they have purposely damaged goods by water for fee paid by fire adjustors.

CURTAILMENT IS
 THING EXPECTED
COTTON MILL MEN WILL MEET TODAY IN CHARLOTTE TO CAM VASS THE SITUATION AND MAP OUT COURSE.

Charlotte, N. C., December 7.--At the meeting of the mill men in this city to- morrow 1t is expected that the manufac- turers from Rhode Island to Mississippi will favor curtailment of production, as the best solution of the serious, If not threatening, condition confronting the cotton mill situation in the United States. It is said that this meeting probably will be the first at which the manufacturers north and south. will meet in perfect harmony, having a common cause.
 h. l.. Holt, president of the Glencoe mills of Burlington, N. C., and direc- tor in the Elmira and Lakeside mills one of the most successful and corServa- tive mill men in the south, said tonight:
 At this time the manufacturer IS be- tween the devil and the deep blue sea. The consumer says the present rise in the market Is due to speculation, while the producer says 1t Is due to short crop. You can see how the burden is on the manufacturer.
 "The advanced price of cotton allows no margin for profit for the manufac- turer and this condition Is general throughout the United States on all classes of goods. The situation has been very bad for the manufacturer ever since cotton went above 10 cents.
 Some sort of action on the part of manufacturers is imperatively necessary. If we are going to fight against specula- ton, we must do it now and the only way to do 1t Is by curtailment of produc- ten. How? Well, that's the question. We could curtail by stopping part of the machinery. l think but that way is certain to throw a good many people out of employment. I think the best way Is to run on short time, making kindly pro- visions that would enable the manufac- turer to retain and properly care Tor all employees.
 "I repeat that the situation is very se- rious and demands prompt action. have had correspondence with a large number of manufacturers north and south, and l have talked with large number of them and l believe the gen eraI sentiment is in favor of curtailment. do not know exactly how the decision for curtaiment will be agreed upon, If if IS agreed upon.

HANSON SUCCEEDS
 PRESIDENT EGAN
DIRECTORS OF THE CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILROAD ACCEPT RESIGNATION RENDERED BY THE EXECUTIVE.

Savannah, Ga. December 7-At the meeting of the Central of Georgia rail- road directors this morning the resgna- tion of President John M. Egan was ac- cepted and in his stead Major J. F, Han son was elected.
 The office of general manager was ere ated and Theo. c. Kline, new general su- perintendent of the system, was elected to that position. The meeting was en- tirely harmonious, though the feeling ex- pressed by the directors was that the Central had lost valuable man in MT Egan, and his resignation was accepted with a resolution of regret, in which the body wished him success and happiness.
 The office of general superintendent was abolished by the action of the board in making Mir Kline general manager.
 Steps will be taken at future meetins of the board to abolish the oihce ol chairman of the board now held by MaJor Hanson. It is understood Mir. Egan wlii receive his salary as president uhtii March 31.

Race Leaders Draw Up Platform
 at Chattanooga
SEPARATION IS NECESSARY
Plans Are Formulated for Carrying on a Crusade Against Cocaine, Whisky and Other Evils Which Af-
 fict the Race.

Chattanooga, Tenn, December 7-As the result of a meeting of prominent negro leaders of this and other southern states held here last week, the committee on platform today gave out the declaration of its principles and the importance of the other parties. After reciting that conditions in the south are such as to demand a negro party the declara- tions continue:
 When, in the course of political af- fairs, it becomes necessary for any race to sever it's connection with political par ties in order to preserve its existence, it is wisdom to call upon all peoples lm- mediately concerned for aid; we, there- fore, call upon all races and classes for aid and moral support, not only in organ izing a separate party in opposition to whisky and cocaine, but in remonstrances and petitions to the powers that be for the enactment of such laws as will sup- press the evils complained of. We call upon our brethren in the states which have disfranehised them, to meet en masse, to organize and petition their re- spective legislatures for the passage of laws to protect them against white baudy houses, run by negro women, cocaine, whisky and peonage. The right to peace ably assemble and petition the law-mak- ing power. shall forever remain inviola- ble. says the constitution
 The platform enumerates several of- lenses against good order, for which it says special enactments should provide punishment. Among those mentioned is desertion and failure to support wife and family, or assertion by either husband or wife, except for infidelty or immor ality: the management or connection with a house of i'll repute by negro women for white men; for the selling of cocaine unless mixed with other medicine, and then only by a physician holding a cer- tificate from the state board of health.
 Concluding. the platform calls upon all Christian and moral people to join in the fight gainst the sale and use of whisky.

Washington, December I-(SpeciaL)- Probably the most interesting political matter in connection with the President message is his failure to mention the tariff. The subject is completely ignored in the last official paper the President will have an opportunity to send to con gress before the presidential election the main issue in which will, it is admitted hv leaders of both parties, be the tariff.
 In his message to congress one year ago this month the President gave the sub feet considerable discussion, as well as asking for the ratification of reciprocity treaties. He really made plea for the modification of certain schedules, and

suggested a tariff commission as being desirable.
 The understanding is that the President has been completely suppressed by the high tariff faction in his party and that being the case, he concluded the best course to take would be not to mention the subject.
 The omission is construed as bid for a campaign fund from the tariff protected manufacturers and will probably be suc- cessful in that respect. Democratic mem bers say the Presidents course on the subject will redound to the benefit of their party. as it indicates the unwilling ness of the President and his party to take positive position while at the same time the refusal to modify the Dingley act puts him in an attitude of indorsing 1t throughout

cuIIom on Reciprocity.

After some informal discussion, the res- olution was laid over until tomorrow, and MT Cullom began q speech on the Cuban reciprocity bill. He dwelt especially upon the effect of the bill on the trade with Cuba which he contended would be greatly stimulated by it's passage. He said that situated as we were within a few miles of the Cuban coast, we should control the Cuban market. but a mat ter of fact this country supplies less than one-half of the Cuban imports. Spain had lost most of her trade with Cuba. but the trade thus lost had gone to Great Britain, France and Germany, instead of coming to the United States.
 MT Cullom conceded that an increased production of Cuban sugar was probable but he did not believe there was danger

1 told the Attorney-General 1 paid the
money because 1 did not want any

To Justice Perry-It was after the
$4S.025 was paid over to me that I spoke
to Magoon about his fee.
To Magoon-Witness remembered
when he received the check before
Judge De Bolt and told in tones too low
to be heard across the room the names
of those he remembered present. He
did not stay in court loEg after receiv-
ing the check: did not talk much with
Judge De Bolt. Put the money into the
First National Bank; took Geo. A. Da-
Wis to the bank with me and gave
him a check for $4,000: put the book in
my pocket and went to your office and
had a talk about your fee; thought
$500 was fair.
QUESTIONED TOO FAR.
Q.-Didn't you think $4,000 was fair
when 1 asked you?
Al hao to say yes; yes, 1t took
about four or five minutes to settle
the whole thing.
This ended the testimony of Mr.. Sum
ner, excepting that, as he retired, he
was reminded by the Attorney General
to bring the receipt for the $4,000 with
him today.
The Court continued the trial until

ILLEGAL LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
constable Perry Arrests Negro and
SeizeS TWO Gallons of Liquor
at ChappellS.

Constable Y. B. Perry arrested a
negro and seized two gallons of liquor
at Chappells on Friday.
Fred Herbert, the negro arrested,
was given a preliminary hearing before
Magistrate Ropp, and bound over to the
circuit court. 1t appears that Herbert
had worked up a considerable trade in
the community in which he worked
selling the liquor at ten cents drink.
His headquarters were at spring,
where he kept his liquor in the cool. 1t
was not necessary to go to the spring
to secure a drink, however, Herbert
had obviate chis difficulty by establish
ing somewhat of free delivery, carry
ing his Jug around with him on the
streets and dispensing to the thirsty.
The liquor seized was two gallons,
marked to r. A. Green. No r. A.
Green could be discovered in or around
Chappells and the liquor was declared
contraband and sent to Columbia.
