South Carolina Mob Hangs and
Shoots Slayer

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. News
of the lynching of John Morrison,
white man, who killed Will T. Floyd
Saturday at Kershaw, has just been
received.
Immediately after the killing of
Floyd and the arrestRof Morrison, feel
ing became intense There was little
said, but it soon became known that
the sheriff of Lancaster was on his way
to assist in protecting the prisoner.
i, An electric light had been placed be-
fore the guardhouse and a policeman
was on guard. At about o'clock the
light went out and a crowd poured into
the alley, overpowered the policeman,
took the keys and brought Morrison
out.
He was taken just outside the town
limits and hanged to tree with a pair
of buggy lines.
Two shots were fired into Morrison's
back as he swung. Sheriff Hunter, of
Lancaster, with deputies, arrived at
Kershaw on a special train a few min
utes after the guardhouse was forced
and he heard the pistol shots.
He began searching for the lynching
party and found the body about mid
night. Troops from Camden arrived
later. An inquest was held and the
usual verdict rendered. No arrests
have been made.

ELKINS, w. Va. Oct. 2.-Henry G.
Davis. the Democratic candidate for
vice president, has written the follow
ing letter of acceptance:
Hon. John Sharp Williams and Other
Members of the Committee-Dear Sirs:
In accordance with custom. and my prom
ise when notified by your committee at
White Sulphur Springs, on Aug. II, of
my nomination for the Office of vice pres
ident I submit the following observations
upon some of the questions now before
the country.
The times are propitious for the rein
statement of the Democratic party in
control of the government. The public
mind is being disillusioned of the pre-
tension of the Republican party. so long
and so arrogantly made. that the material
prosperity of the country depends upon its
own ascendancy. Thoughtful and pa
triotic people are becoming more and
more distrustful of the heady and per
sonal element of the present administra-
ton, and are more than willing to see it
replaced by one that better recognizes
constitutional and other lawful restraints.
They demand that the present wastefui
extravaganza in the expenditure of the
money. drawn by taxation from the in
dustry of the people. shall. cease. and that
economy and honesty in the public serv-
ice shall be again regarded as virtues in
the high places of the government.
The expenditures per capita OF the gov
ernment are increasing at an alarming

SPEAKS IN TRINITY
Archbishop of CanterburySeeks
Union of Peoples

NEW YORK, Oct. 2-Trinity church,
rich in historical associations, and one
of the landmarks of New York, had an
event of interest to add to its chroni-
cles today when the archbishop of
Canterbury, and the highest dignitary
in the church of Great Britain,
preached within its walls. The edifice
was jammed and thousands were
turned away. The sermon was part OF
the morning service.
After the rendering of the GloIia in
Excelsis, Col. William Jay, on behalf
of the vestrymen of the church cor
-poration, who with him stood at the
chancel, greeted the archbishop in an
extended address. His grace, respond
ing. said:
Thankful shall be if the visit
which I am paying to your country
may in the providence of God con-
tribute something toward cementing
yet closer the links which bind US,
as two great peoples, into one, and,
still more, to deepening and setting
forward the holy communion and fell
lowship which unites us in the fellow
ship and service of our Lord the Savior
Jesus Christ"
The archbishop's. sermon was taken
from st. Luke, xix. 10.

rate When the present administration
went into power there was a large sur
plus but Notwithstanding the enormous
taxation, the revenues therefrom are not
now adequate to meet the demands made
by reckless appropriations. The revenues
fell short during the last fiscal year, of
over 100000 900. In the first sixty days
of this fiscal year the expenditures ex-
ceeded the receipts by $24, ,000,0 ,00Os and if
this rate of excess should continue, the
deficit for the present fiscal year would
be in the neighborhood Of $140 600, 000
This needless deficit is due to- the eX-
travagance of the administration, and
can only be met by imposing additional
taxes or selling bonds, thereby ipcreas-
ing the interest bearing debt of the gov
ernment. Which course will the sRepub-
licans adopt? The cost of government
during the fiscal year was $7.14 per cap
ita, which means that the average tax
paid in some form or another by every
family of five persons toward the support
of the national administration of public
affairs was over S25, which, in the case of
wage earners. is a considerable percent
age of their entire earnings for the year.
No more money should be taken from the
people by taxation direct or indirect,
than is necessary for the<needs of gov
ernment economically administered To
show the rapid growth of the cost of
government it is only necessary to give the

NAVY DEPARTMENT
TO SEEK MISCREANT
Will Try Every Means to Discover
Who Injured Battieship

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2.-Navy
department officers are thoroughly
aroused over the discovery of the lat
est attempt to injure the new battle
ship Connecticut, launched at the New
York navy yard last Thursday, by the
punching or boring of a hole in her
side below the water line.
Thus far only unofficial reports of
the matter have reached the depart
ment, where it is confidently hoped
that a rigid investigation, now being
conducted by the commandant of the
New York yard, into the work OF those
who are implicated in the affair will
lead to the apprehension of the guilty
persons.
The naval officials here are unable
to ascribe a motive unless it was one
of pure mischief. 1t is said that the
injury to the ship is not at all serious
and the repairs can be made quickly.

FARMER IS ROBBED
AT NEW CAPITOL
George Burton and John Ward
Are Charged With Working
Gard Game

George Burton and John C. Ward,
alleged con" men, are under arrest at
the central police station, charged
with working three card monte game
on David Boak, of Neilsville, Wis, at
the new capitol Saturday afternoon.
Boak fell victim to the game and was
relieved of $42. He trailed the men,
however, and, though they separated,
dogged one until he turned him over to
Pat .olman Miske.
Boak, dressed roughly in overalls
and boots, arrived in st. Paul Satur-
day afternoon, and was sauntering
along Eighth street when he was ac-
costed by a young man, who asked
him if he. was a stranger in the city,
and inquired where he lived.
Il told him l came from Neilsville,
! and he said he came from Washburn,
| Clark county, Wis, and asked me if
knew Eddie Ward" said Boak. Il told
| him l did not, and he said 1 couldn't
| have been there long. Then he said
he had just back from a trip out West
and was going back to his home. |
was interested in the West and told
| him 1 was thinking of going out there.
! We talked for a while and he asked
| me if I had any money and I told him
| had Then he wanted to borrow SIS
to get his valise from the depot. 1
would not give it to him. but he did
not seem to care much, so we walked
| on.
Man Had Three Cards
1--WE came across a man with three
cards, one an ace of spades. My COM
panion said: That fellow is a fool. L
could pick out that ace any time The
fellow with the cards then said he
would bet I couldn't do it and I said
I made rule of never betting with
anybody. Then he laid out some paper
money on the steps and said if 1 could
pick out the ace 1 could have all the
money. told him thought the money
was not good, and he offered to go to
any bank with me to prove that it was
genuine. 1 told him not to take any
| trouble. Then my companion told me
to pick the card with the corner turned
down and 1 did. 1t was the ace Of
| spades and the man with the cards said
| the money was mine He handed it to
me and tore two of the bills. He
blamed me for doing it and swore at
me. Then both pitched on me and
took my money from my pocket"
Ward is Arrested
Having secured the money, the men
started away and Boak followed. The
men parted after walking few blocks
| and Boak followed his original ac-
! quaintance, whom he turned over to
Patrolman Miske on Seventh street.
| From Ward who was arrested first,
the police learned the whereabouts of
Burton and he was arrested yesterday.
| Ward will be prosecuted in st. Paul
| and Burton will be sent to Hudson,
| Wis, where he is wanted for jumping

months ago when he was arrested on
a charge of short changing a man on
an Omaha train. The officials of the
road are interested in the case and will
prosecute Burton at Hudson.

.GOODN()N PREMATURE.
IN MAKING APPEAL
Consu's Action Taken Before
Favorab'e Report of Peirce
Is Filed
Globe Special Washington Service

Globe Special Washington Service
1417 G Street
WASHINGTON D. c., Oct. 2.-Some
the statement of Assistant Secretary Of
State Peirce regarding the publication
in. The Globe last Thursday that
Consul General Goodnow had been ex-
onerated. Mr.. Peirce took occasion to
deny that he had made report to the
president recommending that Mr.. Good
now be allowed to remain in Office, in
asmuch as the charges against him
T he G be dispatch, however, was
made on higher authority than that of
Mr.. Peirce.
1t was stated in the dispatch to T e
Clio b e that Mr.. sGoodnow, being un-
der the impression that Mr.. Peirce had
reported or was about to report against
him, demanded that he be given an op-
portunity to answer the latest charges
against him. 1t was not known at the
time the dispatch was written, how
ever, that Mr.. Goodnow's application for
leave to come home and personally an
swer the charges had been granted.
Such appears to be the case from Mr..
Peirce's statement.
Report Was Favorable
The facts are that. Assistant Secre-
tary Peirce made more or less thor
ough investigation of the Goodnow
charges while he was in the Orient,
+Iof III, \, ont
a report which was submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. This report has never
been made public, and even the pur-
port of it was not publicly known until
last Thursdays publication in T h e
Clio b e. Despite official denials, Mr..
Peirce did write the report and he did
recommend that Goodnow be not dis
missed, but, on the contrary, that the
charges against him be dismissed.
In view of Mr. Goodnow's premature
and ill-advised action in assuming that
Mr.. Peirce had reported or was about
to report against him, followed by his
demand for a further hearing, it may
be that the whole case may be re-
opened.
Gives Curtis Chance
A hearing of what Goodnow may
have to say when he arrives here will
| naturally give his enemies, especially
Attorney Curtis, who is conducting a
| bitter campaign against him, chance
| to be heard also; and it is possible that
some new evidence will be introduced.
The matter has been one of some
annoyance to the President, and he
| would he glad to see it wound up. A
public announcement would have been
| made that the case was closed had not
Mr.. Goodnow absolutely demanded that
| he be heard further.
| AS it will be several weeks before
| Consul Goodnow can reach Washing
| ton, the case will not be formally dis
posed of, probably until after election.
