Attorney General Gunter has filed
an opinion in which he holds that
Clemson scholarships cannot be given
to counties other than those entitled
to them. That Is, where county
fails to avail itself of all the schol-
arships to which it is entitled, these
scholarships must remain vacant until
they are filled by the county TO which
they belong.

BRUTAL ATTACK
ON A REPORTER
R. A. Wolf, Who Was Dis
missed From Police Force,
Is Arrested on a Warrant

Reuben A. Wolf an ex-sergeant OF
police. who was dismissed from. the
force for grating" from saloon-keep-
ers on his beat, was arrested yesterday
by Detective Bailey for making cow
ardly and unprovoked attack upon
Edmond D. Coblentz, an Examiner re-
porter, on Tuesday night. The charge
against him is assault with intent to
do grievous bodily injury. Coblentz is
about half his weight and size and
wears glasses. as he is near-sighted.
Wolf had been expecting to be ar
bondsmen. Bailey took him and his
sureties to Police Judge Cabaniss. in
whose court Coblentz had sworn to the
warrant, but the Judge was not satis-
fed with the qualification OF one. Of
them and refused to accept him. The
bonds had been fixed at $500 or $500
cash.
Bailey apparently hesitated to take
Wolf to the City Prison and asked the
Judge what he should do. The Judge
replied that he had enough to do to
look after his own business, and ad-
vised Bailey to consult his superiors.
Bailey took Wolf to Chief Whitman and
Wolf asked the privilege of obtaining
another surety. The chief instructed
Bailey to accompany Wolf to Pine and
Kearny streets and if the surety could
not be procured to lock Wolf up. Later
a friend Of the prisoner put up $500
cash for his release.
Nothing could have been more un-
provoked than VOLTS attack on Cob
lentz. who is but half the disgraced
ex-officer's size. Coblentz was inter
viewing Wolf on the subject of his
connection with a company doing busi-
ness in the Columbian building when
Wolf flew into a rage and declaring
that the newspapers were bounding
him, drew back his mammoth fist and
without warning struck the reporter
terrible blow on the nose. Coblentz
wore glasses at the time, but this fact
did not deter the bully. There were a
dozen eYewitnesses and all of them
say that COblentz gave Wolf no provo
cation for the assault.
The Cooperative Mercantile Com
pany was formed in this city a few
months ago. The principals in the
concern were ]. F. Olsen, who ran the
inside workings of the Office, and r.
A. Wolf, who was the outside rustler.
The company offered great induce
ments to all investors to get rich quick.
The idea was to pay 81 % a week until.
$50 had been paid into the treasury
and when this was done the investor
was to receive $3.50. The scheme was
like finding money and it is reported.
that the police force bit at the bait and
Jumped in right and left. Olsen .disap-
peared about two weeks ago.
The office in the Columbian building
is closed and the furniture has been
moved away.
Among the members of the police
force who were indeed by Wolf to en-
ter the scheme are Captains Anderson
and Mooney nd Sergeants Lionel
Shaw, O'Connor and Donovan.

WISE FILES COMPLAINT
Three Firms Are Called Upon
to Defend Selling Permits
Giving Rights on Wharves

The expected complaints against
members Of the Produce Dealers Pro-
tective Association were filed before the
Board of Harbor Commissioners yes
terday by Attorney Otto Wise. The es-
sential allegation is that the parties
complained of, although they hold per-
mits that were issued by the Harbor
Commissioners by virtue of which they
are entitled to sell perishable produce
on the State property in this city, have
refused to sell their wares to solvent
purchasers who are not in the combine.
For this reason Attorney Wise, In be-
half Of the complainants, asked that
their permits should be taken from
them.
The complainants are Charles ]. Ler-
carl and j. Pierretti. The first named
brought complaint against the Ameri-
can Produce Company and Wolf &
Sons The complaint Of Pierretti is
against L. Scatena & Co.
COVERS TECHNICALITIES.
When the Harbor Commissioners met
but two Commissioners were present,
Messrs. Spear and Kirkpatrick. w. H.
Davis, attorney for the board, was
present. The complaints came up early
in the meeting. Attorney Wise had
them, and also had prepared formal
notices to parties against whom they
run. All the parties, so Wise said, had
been notified of the bringing of the
action. He requested that a hearing
might take place as soon as possible.
The board agreed to summon the par
ties in interest to appear for hearing
at 10:3O a. M next Monday.
May 28 was the date on which, as al
legged. the American Produce Company
and Wolf & Sons refused to sell to Ler-
carl at the price placed on the goods
by themselves. Lercari set up that he
went to the American Produce Com
pany and there was informed that po-
tatoes were selling at the rate of 81 So
per box. He put down the price of
twenty boxes and was informed that
he could not buy less than fifty boxes,
because it was so provided by the Pro-
duce Dealers Protective Association.
He also, as set forth in another COM
plant, visited Wolf & Sons, and while
he offered the price that was asked by
that firm for twenty bags of onions, at
because the Produce Dealers Protec-
tive Association has decided that not
less than twenty-five bags of onions
shall be sold to any purchaser.
ANOTHER COMPLAINANT.
In his complaint against L. Scatena
& Co. it was alleged by Pierretti that
he was unable to buy twenty boxes of
potatoes at 81 55, the price asked for the
goods by L. Scatena & Co. Pierretti
and Lercari set up in their complaints
that they are solvent purchas sers and
that the request that permits to sell
should be revoked was based on viola
tion of the Woodward law by the firms
that refused to do business with them,
and that this constituted discrimina-
ton, which the law was devised to pre-
vent.
There was little talk before the Har-
Dor Commissioners yesterday. The pro-
ceedings were entirely preliminary

Annapolis, Nd, May 16.-Midship-

diately.
The five young men struggled in the
water for about 20 minutes before sue

struggling men, but Midshipman Brit
tingham was unable TO grasp his Mid

Their combined efforts proved unavail-
ing, and Birmingham sank in II feet
of water. The other four midshipmen
were picked up, and the rescuers dove

full efforts to find the body.
