The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1904-02-05

A great deal of stir has been oc-
casioned ia Columbia by the publ
cation in the State newspaper sew
eral days ago Of an article on shop
lifting. In the article it was stated
that one of the largest merchants IN
Columbia had Systematically prac'
ticed a system of oiackmail against
the shoplifters whom he caught
making them pay SIS and sign a
confession. 1t was said that a num-
her of ladies had been detected and
had signed the confession and PAID
over their money and "only short
time ago a student in one OF these
colleges was caught, and the poor
little girl has not yet finished pay
;no her ante. She is paying Ii on
the installment plan. s. to S5 q
month. That girl is the daughsel
but that shall not be even vaguely
hinted."
The merchants of Columbia I'M
mediately began publishing state
ments denying knowledge OF the
charges and expressing their dis
belief that they were true. Yes
terday morning the State stated
editorially that under a comoina-
ton of circumstances the article
had appeared in a form unsatls'ac'
tory and distasteful to the manage
ment os the paper, but neverthe-
lees the State had absolutely moth
ing to 1etract.
Until the name of the merchant
or some kind OF proof is offered the
article will continue to appear to
those who are not on the inside-o1
some of them, at least-as piece
of yellow journalism, which is
something very unusual IN th's
= State.

A STRANGE Case
TN NEW YORK
WIN. McGRATH A YOUNG MAN
OUTSIDE, AN OLD MAN
INSIDE
A PECULIAR CONDITION
His Vital Organs Are Those of An
Octogenarian-An Autopsy
Performed.

New York, January 49, Encased
within a man twenty-three years old,
the physicians of Lincoln Hospital, in
this city, have discovered the vital or
gans that belong to an octogenarian.
The discovery may be regarded as one
of the most surprising in the history
of post mortem examination, and, so
far as known, stands alone, although
it bears some resemblance to the case
of the peasant girl, Jeanne Uhl, who
aroused interest among French anat-
omists about fifteen years ago.
William McGrath was admitted to
the hospital four weeks ago, suffering
intense pain in the lower part of the
back in the region of the kidneys. He
had lived in or near New York all his
life. There being no excess of ozone
in the atmosphere which he took into
his lungs, there could not be any abb
normal oxidation in his arteries, as
in the case Of Jeanne Uhl. His face
was youthful In contour, his skin
smooth and he did not appear to be
within three years Of his actual age.
His ailment was diagnosed as acute
nephritis inflammation of the kid
neys. He received medical attention
and csFeful nursing, but sank gradu-
ally 40 death. An autopsy was per
formed in the presence Of three of the
hospital staff.
The kidneys were examined first
and the doctors were amazed to find
them shriveled and contracted just as
those of man at seventy years. Then
the dissectors found an enlarged liv-
er that belonged to an octogenarian
and not to a boy. Further explora-
tion disclosed heart grown to a size
out of all proportion. Exhibited to a
skilled anatomist, with its history
concealed, it would be pronounced tc
be the heart of man at least seventy
five years old, accustomed all his life
to hard work.
Nature presented another and {
stranger abnormality In the hardening
of the arteries. His pipes had los
their flexibility. The arterial stream
had flowed through them with The
sluggishness of old age, while tht
walls had thickened and become al
most brittle.
Only a meager history of the pa
TENTS previous condition was oh
tanned when McGrath was admitted
for treatment. but as far as known
his habits were good and he was no
given to alcoholic excesses. so tha
without any known cause he died ;
wornout man in his twenty-fourtl
year.

A QUANDARY
In EIectino Delegates to Ma
tional Convention.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 19.-The Pio-
neer Press tomorrow will print an in
terview with ex-Congressman Joel
HeatwoIe, in which he points out
that the Minnesota Republicans are
in something of a quandary regarding
the method to be pursued in the Sc
lection Of delegates from Congress
sional districts to the National Repltb-
lican Convention. The call for the
convention, issued yesterday by SEN
ator Hama, provides that delegates
from Congressional districts shall be
chosen IN district conventions in the
same manner that nominations f.r
Congressne1 are made. The Mime
sofa Congressman are nominated at
primary elections, and there is no
provision under this law for the hold
inc Of party conventions. Mr.. Heat
wole suggests that the National Com
mitteemen from this State and the
Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee might call Congressional dis
trict conventions for the election of
delegates. II

POOL Tn
ROCK ISLAND
New York Report That Cam
paien is on to Advance
Price of Security.

Chicago, Jan 19.-It was in the
gossip from New York yesterday that
a pool had been formed to advance
the price Of Rock Island securities
with James III. Moore as the manager.
The Harris-Gates people were report
ed to be interested and several Chi
cago houses were free buyers of the
stocks. While it could not be learned
from houses that are supposed to be
the closest local Representatives OF the
Moore party that any peol had been
formed, there is no question that the
Moores and Messrs. Reid and Leeds
have been active in Rock Island for
several days, the best results in the
way of price movements being attain
ed in yesterdays market.
Rock Island issues did not advance
with the rest of the market during
| the rise that had been In progress for
month, but the controlling interests
became active as soon as the work of
arranging for the new bond issue had
been completed. 1t is reported on
good authority that Speyer & Co.
have agreed to take the $15 100000
bonds to be issued Immediately after
the authorization of the $163, 100000.

VIM. WAKING

CHARLEY KoFsKI ENTERS A
PLUMBING ESTABLISHMENT
4l

~
He Tells the Story of the Assault
Kofski Hurt Badly-Taken
Home in Ambulance.
AND GETS BRUISED UP

Last evening Charles Kofski, a
plumber, called at the plumbing es-
tablishment Of William Waking, on
west Main street, and made himself
obnoxious by his presence. Mr.. Wax
ing says he was intoxicated and
abusive, and that when he ordered
him to leave the place he refused to
do so. Mr. Waking then went to the
telephone to call the police and Kof-
ski interfered and kept him from
using the phone. Mr.. Waking left
the phone and picked up an old gun
and used it quite freely on the head
and body Of his unwelcome guest,
whom he had thrown upon the floor
and held there until he had sufficient
abuse to hold him for while. When
he got up he found he was badly cut
about the head, and Mr.. Waking also
suffered from bruises about the face.
The police were notified and Kofski
was removed to his home on south E
street and a physician summoned,
who dressed his wounds. This morn
ing he had not recovered sufficiently
to make any charge against Waking.
It was an unfortunate occurrence and
all regret that it happened. Mr.. Wax
ing says he acted In self defense.

to aportion the delegates according to

at-large and one additional for every

the various districts the following

These delegates Will probably be
chosen by all the districts at the time
Of the state convention. The fou1
delegates-at-large will be selected by
the convention and the delegates will
meet by districts and choose THEN
own Representatives to the national
convention.
