the collie was defeated. ...<;s
To-day, as was his habit, the terrier
was racing with street car about
Ithaca's noted "loop" when, at the
bridge over Fall Creek Gorge, he came
upon his foe. In an instant they were
fighting desperately, while several uni
versity professors hurried from dis
tance to part them. But relief came
too late.
Being On the point Of defeat, the
collie broke away and ran to the edge
Of the gorge, at that point, 100 feet
deep. No one dared to approach the
dangerous point. The terrier. however,
followed, whereupon the collie circled
about him and then with a sudden
rush pushed his antagonist over the
edge where he was dashed to death on
the rocks below.
With one downward glance the collie
trotted proudly away, head and tail

ina Senatorial Toga.
That Reed Smoot could not nave
been elected to the United States SEN
ate without having first been chosen
as an apostle of the Mormon churcn
and that after he was so chosen ne
could not have been defeated, was as
serted by Judge Ogden Hiles, assist
ant United States attorney from 1886
to 1890 and later judge OF the dis
trict court of Utah, who was witness
Saturday in the Smoot case.
He claimed to have procured more
indictments and conducted more
prosecutions against the Mormons on
charges of polygamous cohabitatlon
than any other Official VINO has served
in Utah He told an interesting story
of the prosecutions and said the nrst
cessation in the fragrant practice OF
polygamous cohabitation came. after
the passage of the EdmuDds-Tucker
act making adultery crime and pre-

'tions. Up to that time the people
went to jail or paid fines, declaring
it preferable to obey the laws OF God
rather than the laws Of man. The
heavy fines for subsequent prosecu'
tions for adultry, he said, brought a
change of view. Many Of those prose
cuted were poor and unable to pay the
fines and then they accepted the offer
Of the courts to waive punishment II
promise was given not to continue
to violate the laws.
An interesting feature OF Judge
Hiles'testimony was declaration that
former United States Senator k.s%-
Inns was still a .Iormon, even though
he stood against the church on the
matter of political interference. Attor-
ney Van Cott took the wl.ness to task
for the statement and the 'colloquy en-.
livened the close Of the days hearing.

WRANCLE RENEWED
House Members Continue
TRADE Against Bristow.
BY Strict Party Vote Rcpublicans Turn
Down Proposition Calling tor
More Light on Postal
Scandal.

A Washington special says: By
strict party vote, after day full OF ex-
citing debate, the republicans Of the
house of representatives Friday defeat
ed the democratic proposition for
congressional investigation into the
postofice department.
The resolutions calling for such an
investigation were ruled out by Speak
er Cannon, and the appeal from the
ruling was tabled by the republican
majority, by strict party vote. Sub
sequently the house adopted the reso-
luton of Mr. Mccall, of Massachusetts,
providing for the creation Of a special
committee to investigate the charges
against members contained IN the Bris-
tow report, but this does not open the
way to a complete investigation into
the rottenness Of the postofice depart
ment.
The wrath which swept over the
house of representatives Wednesday as
the result of the report involving Ger
tain members of congress, and which
was temporarily stemmed by adjourn
ment Thursday on account OF the
death of Representative Croft, broke
out afresh at Fridays session.
Mr.. Gillett, of Massachusetts, pre-
sented minority report when NJ.
Hay, of Virginia, promptly objected to
it's consideration.
The speaker, in ruling on the point,
said the Hay resolution was matter
Of highest privilege, and he recognized
Mr.. Overstreet, of Indiana, who de-
sired unanimous consent for an order
giving the members ten days leave to
extend their remarks.
Mr.. Cooper, of Wisconsin, enteKsda
an emphatic "No."
Mr.. Tawney, Of Minnesota, enter
tanned the view that every member
had the right to speak indefinitely as
a matter Of privilege.
MI. Oyerstreet then submitted two
propositions, first that the discussion
be extended until Monday at o'clock,
and, second, ufii 4 O'Clock Saturday,
to both Of which Mr. Hay objected. He
then renewed his motion for leave TO
print. which brought Mr.. Williams to:
| his feet with the declaration that
whatever Is said on this subject should
be said in the open house, and he
therefore objected. He was greeted
with applause.
Mr.. Cowherd, OF Missouri, was rec
ognized and defended the action OF
the committee representing the report
There was no occasion, he said, to re-
/ fer the matter to the committee TO
see whether the charges against mem
bers had been made. Tie report OF
General Bristow had gone out with the
| approval of the president. -
Il say now" he declared, "that
Beavers has usually complied with re-
quests Of members Of congress, re-
gard1ess of the merits OF the case, the
answer is that the charge is true"
"If members had made unusual re
quests upon the department. he said,
"the propriety Of their conduct was
question between themselves and their
constituents. It is not violation OF
law" be insisted, with emphasis THE
committee could not undertake to edit
the departments report nor could they
discriminate between the cases cited.
II they had done so the committee
would have been lashed from the floor
of the house"

Major Assaulted by Cadets.

The trouble at Clemson college, a
few days ago, was brought aboct, 1t is
now said, by Major of Cadets Hamlin
administering a repr:mand to one OF
the cadets for being late at revielle
one morning. The major and the ca
det became involved in words and
finally in a fight. The cadet being 4
small boy, other caoets went to his
aid, and as a result the major was
pretty badly punished before the con-
test ended: He had to retire from his
duties because of his injuries, and he
was compelled to keep to his room
fer two weeks. He appealed to the
faculty and the matteS was then taken
up with the faculty on one side and
the students on the other. 1t looked
at on eti1ne as il it would pc attende!
by serious results, but matters have
been amicably adjusted.

is that of Marion S. Burnett" wnile
the defense has already served notice
that the signature is "Marron S. Bur

Charge Of Cruelty to Conviets.

Charge OF Cruelty to Convicts.
The investigation OF the charge OF
punitive measures of an excessive
nature" being practiced by the chain
gang officials Of Newberry county, was
begun a few days ago by Fred Il.
Dominick, Esq, who was appointed
referee by Judge D. A. Townsend at
the February term OF the general ses'
sions court This order by the pre-
siding Judge was the result OF rec
ommendaIion in the presentment OF
the grand jury at that term OF the
court.
Some startling facts concerning al
legged cruelty were revealed by the in
vestigation. Only three witnesses
were subpoenaed by Referee Domin-
ick, but others interested were given
the privilege Of testifying. Practically
all the witnesses agreed on one thing,
to-wit: that the convicts were whip
ped by the guards.
One witness testified that he wit
messed the whipping Of convict. In
this case, the man was held across a
log and punishment which he charac'
terized as "unmercifuT' administered
by fellow-convicts by order OF the
court in charge
Four men were used to administer
the punishment. The instrument USED
was a heavy leather strap about 1 IL
inches wide. Other testimony or a
like character was taken. The lnves-
tigation then adjourned to be taken
up later, at which time additional evil
