Governor Deplores Lynching.

Gov. D. c. Hayward, in his message
submitted to the general assembly of
South Carolina yesterday, again calls at
tention ito the absolute necessity of
adopting more stringent measures for the
proper enforcement of law and particu-
larry for the prevention of lynchlngs"
Speaking then of the special appropriation
made for that purpose, at his request, the
governor says that while he cannot report
a single conviction he is satisfied that the
appropriation has not been used in vain.
Had been able to report to you, as
had sincerely hoped ito do, that our state.
since your last session at least had been
spared the shame OF another lynching-
that for this period no human life had been
lawlessly and barbarously taken by an
armed mob-I would have been deeply graf
flied at such a convincing evidence of the
increased respect shown for law and order
While we have every reason for encourage
ment, the recent killing of two defenseless
negroes by an armed mob is for every rea-
son to be deplored and condemned. Such
cusable, but they inevitably lead to the dis
regard Of all law. the cheapening of human
life, and the undermining OF our very civ
iuZation.
LAS long as l am governor of this state
l shall use my strongest endeaVor for the
suppression and punishment of those who
disregard our laws, especially in the mat
ter of lynchings."

MAY DIEFROM BURNS
MRS. HAYES IN HOSPITAL IN Sc
RIoUs CONDITION.

Mrs. Sarah Hayes, colored, forty-two
years old, was severely burned about her
body last night when a fire occurred in her
home at No. rs Pierce street northwest. The
fire was the result of an accident that was
caused by the woman experiencing a faint
ing spell just as she was in the act of hang
ing a lamp upon a bracket that was fast
ened to the wall During the past few
weeks Mrs. Hayes has suffered several at
lacks of trouble that was probably caused
by cerebral afHiction. When she suffered
the attacks she was unable to control her
self and usually fell. Last night about IL
O'Clock she experienced one of the spells
while she was in the act of hanging the
lamp. The woman was alone in the room
at the time and was unable to assist herself
until 1t was too late. Her dress caught fire
from the blaze from the broken lamp and
her clothing was burned almost from her
before assistance reached her. The bright
DlaZe IN the house and the screams OF the
burning woman caused some excitement in
the neighborhood and the fire department
was summoned by the sounding of an alarm
turned In from box 81.
By the time the iremen reached the house
the flames had been extinguished and the
injured woman was being cared for by
friends and relatives. She was taken 10
the Homeopathic Hospital, after she had
been given treatment at sibley Hospital,
and DR.. Warner took charge OF her. The
physician found her burns were of such a.
serious nature that he was unable to hold
out any hope to the son and other relatives
of the patient who called to see her. Mrs.
Hayes was able to tell the physician of the
circumstances under which she received her
severe burns, but soon became unconscious.
She was conscious at intervals during the
night, but this morning she seemed to have
reached a condition from which the physi-
clan thought she could hardly recover. DIR.
Warner said he thought her death was a
matter of only a few hours

ADVISED TO GO SLOW.
Gov. Utter to Legislature on Insur-
ance LEGISLATION.

The annual message of Gov. George h.
Utter to the Rhode Island legislature was
read yesterday in both branches. He said
in part:
During the past few months public at
tention has been drawn to the business
methods of certain life insurance companies
which have solicited and are still soliciting
business in this state. The investigation
which has brought to light these methods
has apparently been thorough and without
prejudice AS a result OF the revelations
made and of the suspicious aroused there is
throughout the country a growing belief
that legislative action should be taken to
protect the interests Of policy holders. While
I would not approve or oppose any such
legislation before knowing its exact and
full import, I would warn at this time
against hasty action on matter or such
great Importance. The opinion here ,eX-
pressed is in agreement with that or our
own insurance commissioner. At the pres
ent time the conditions are not sufficiently
understood to warrant the making or eX-
tenstve charges IN our insurance laws.

FREIGHT RATES ON WHISKY.
Alleged Unjusti6able Increase OF 90
Cents a Hundredweight.

The National Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association was heard by the interstate
commerce commission today In complaint
against the Southern. the Southern PACING
and a. number Of allied lines for advancing
what is known as the CARLOAD rate on
whisky and alcohol from the east to the Pa
cif1c coast, e. P. Wilson Of Cincinnati rep
resented the dealers, while there appeared
for the railroads P. F. Dunno OF San Fran
cisco. for the Southern Pacific, and Claud-
ian B, Northrup of Washington. for the
Southern.
The hearing was before Commissioners
Knapp, Clements, Prouty and Cockrei. The
point at issue WAS whether the roads were
Justified in an advance Of % cents per hum
dredweight on shipments or liquor. Inc ols-
pute is Of long standing and goes PACK 10
1897. During that time there has been much
correspondence between the representatives
of the dealers and the officials Of the roads.
Much Of this correspondence was INTRODUCED
and placed in evidence by the liquor men,
with a view to proving that the railroads
had eyaded the issue In an attempt to reach
an amicable agreement with the Shippers,
and had penalized the whole trade because
some of the smaller shippers abused the
rate on carload lots
Mr. Wilson said that substantially from
1897 till 1904 the carload rate had been 81,
and on less than carloads 81 rms hao
been advanced to $1.50 for less than car
loads and to S125 for carload shipments.
1t was claimed by the roads that some Of
the smaller shippers had taken advantage
of the lower rate and had combined to make
their shipments by the carload. This, in
some Of the letters placed In evidence, was
given as the reason for advancing the rate
The shippers claimed that the advanced
rate was unreasonable and that they should
not be disciplined as body for the faults
Of few.
1t is understood that the formal defense
of the railroads will be that the advance OF
the rate was just and necessary, and owing
to the advance in the price of labor and
other operating expenses. 1t is expected
that the hearing will continue today and
part of tomorrow.

FRENCH CATHOLICS
ESTABLISH A NEWSPAPER FOR
THEIR INTERESTS IN PARIS.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, January cit Is regarded as be-
ing hopeful sign of the times that at this
moment of uncertainty resulting from the
passing of the separation bill an ar
dent little company of cultivated Catholics
whose opinions are distorted by no fanati-
cism, but whose whole mental attitude Is
that of tolerant liberalism should have
decided to look facts in the face. They
have founded an organ-a weekly paper
called Demain-in which to focus the ener-
gies Of all French Catholics DESTROYS of
adapting the church to its new environ
ment. Nothing could be further from the wish
of the organizers of this movement, who
are men like Abbe Klein, NJ. Auguste Cho-
lat. NJ. Antole Leroy-Beulieu and the ira
ditional upper middle-class Catholics of the
Weu-known Lyons type than to revive the
old Catholic party, which has in the past
done such grievous harm to the church it
self in this country by tending to confound
catholicism with clericism. Even at pres
ent French Catholics as we'll as French
bishops are devided on the grave question
whether the separation bill should be &C
cepted as a sincere measure which repub-
icans intend TO apply loyalty or should be
combatted both by ruse and chicane and
outward assault.
The enthusiastic and courageous Catholics
of the new organ, Domain, are of the opin-
ION that the treatment meted out to Cath
olicS in France will depend largely upon
the Catholics themselves. If they cling to
the chimera of politico-religious party; If
they seek to confound the interests Of re-
ligion with merely temporal interests; If, in
a word, they continue to repudiate the
teachings of the great Pope Leo XIII, who
recommended the frank rallying to the re-
public of the French Catholics, they will
inevitably arouse the just suspicious of re-
publicans and keep alive that secular state
of reciprocal misundersta nding which has
resulted on both sides in fanatical feeling
and mutual inhospitality. The tradition of
a fighting catholicism is still strong In this
country however.
This has cropped out IN an unsupported
manner because of a sort of crusade or
ganfzed against the editor of Domain. The
editor. NJ. Pierre Pory, Is everywhere being
denounced by the Catholic newspapers, and
the bishops of the Lyons district have in
vited their priests not to subscribe The
Domain however, has already obtained the
sympathy of a large number Of Catholics
who believe in the principles behind modern
democracy. At any rate, its contention
that the corcordat is abolished and the sep
aration of church and state effected is not
likely to be denied even by the most pro-
nounced Catholic newspapers In France 1t
appears to have resolved itself merely into
a question Of ability on the part of the
church u adapt itself to the new order of
things.

ROOSTER
ACTED AS PROXY AT AN ORIEN.
TAI WEDDING. ~
Chinaman in America United to Girl
He Never Saw-"Friend"
Was There.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Behind a de-
cision of the secretary of commerce
and labor. ordering the deportation
of a Chinese lad who recently APP
piled for admission to the United
States at Los Angeles, lies a story of
unusual interest. Sam For, a mer-
chant at Los Angeles, claimed that
the boy, who is fourteen years of age,
was his son and that under the law
the immigration officials had no other
alternative than to permit him to
land.
The testimony in the case shows
that Sam For has lived in this country
since 1881 and that he has never
lpaid a visit to his native land. He
told the inspectors at Lon Angeles
that he was married; that his wife
did not live in the United States; had
never been here, and in fact that. ne
had yet to have the pleasure of meet
ing her. When asked how he knew
the boy was his son he replied that his
wife had told him so.
Further questioning developed that
Sam, in accordance with an ancient
Chinese custom, married his wife by
proxy. The inspectors therefore ex-
pected to be told that the friend who
acted proxy at the marriage ceremony
was the father of the boy. But a
surprise was in store for them.
"Who was the proxy?" queried one
of the inspectors.
"A rooster" replied the merchant
"A rooster" repeated the aston
ished Inspector. "What kind of a
rooster?"
"A Shanghai rooster" said the ORR
entail with a bland smile.
These things are set forth in a re-
port just received at the department
Of commerce and labor. AS the in
spectors We're unable to get satisfac-
tory information as to the paternity
OF the boy, they recommended that he
be deported, and an order to that eff
feet was accordingly issued by Secre-
tary Metcalf. It developed that it is
custom in Chinese marriages by
proxy to have an animal or bird act
in the place OF the absent principal.
