POLICE UNRAVEL
FAMILY TANGLE
HUSBAND AND WIFE RELATE
CONFLICTING TALES
Both sides Of the House Call on City
Executive Department to Assist
in Capturing the Dove
Of Peace

my wife has run away from my
home and Is liable to fall asleep on
some strange doorstep or even in
gutter" exclaimed NJ. Dummler OF 1870
West Fifteenth street, as he came rush
| ing into the central police station short
ly before o'clock yesterday morning.
"I want the assistance OF the police
| in locating her at once. / had her In
my possession a few minutes ago, but
she made her escape ana | have been
unable to locate her since"
While this conversation was taking
place at the central police station, the
wife in question was petitionng the
aid of the police at the University sub
station for protection from her hus-
band, whom she claims had beaten her
numerically.
Previous to the appearance of the
woman at the University station, sew
eral neghbors of the Dummlers called
that station by phone and informed
the sergeant that Dummler had been
beating his wife the greater part of
| the evening, and at one time had chased
her into vacant lot and beaten her
while she was on the ground.
In the early part of the evening
Dummer and Mrs. Dummler visited at
the home of the formers parents on
Santa Fe and Sixteenth streets. While
there several bottles of beer were
opened and a quarrel ensued between
Dummer and his wife, according to
the husband.
"She started to run away from the
house and / pursued her, catching her
after chase of two blocks" said Dunn
mler at the central station. II re-
turned to my parents home with her
and placed her in the buggy which l
had standing near there.

was sitting on the steps of the front

down the street and entered candy
store.
Il followed her as quickly as possible,
but when ] rea ched the store she had
made her escape through rear door.
/ at once came to the station to get
assistance of the police"
In making the last remark to the
police desk sergeant, Dummler added
fearing that she might come here
ahead of me and get out a warrant for
my arrest"
On the assurance of these few words
the police refused to give the man the
assistance for which he asked. Instead
he was given some advice on how to be
happy though married, and was to
make no attempt to head off" his wife
in securing a warrant for his arrest.
The police at the central station and
the police at the University station
held consultation over the matter and
through communication with the neigh
bors who had telephoned the latter
station the officers say they learned
that Dummler had attempted to force
his wife to give him money, said to
have amounted to $40.

had an antagonizing effect upon his
wife, whether taken in small quantities
or large.

BRONCO FALLS WITH RIDER
Vicious Animal Goes Down and Man
Narrowly Escapes Fatal
Injury

The bronco busting contest held at
Fiesta park yesterday afternoon was
not productive of the continual round
of excitement which marked the pre-
vious Sundays sport.
But one really vicious equine put
in an appearance and the brute was
finally subdued by Jim Hall, the negro
rider, after man and beast came to the
ground with crash as result of
the dizzy heights to which he aspired
when first sent from the corral.
The horse was an outlaw from Idaho
and despite all efforts to civilize it the
pony is still ready for a bucking match
at any time a saddle is cinched around
him.
Hall brought his steed to the center
of the field with rope and saddle in
hand. Drawing up before the grand
stand he adjusted the equipment and
threw himself aboard. Like all good
bucking horses the Idaho Importation
stood ominously still for a few mo-
ments and then bounded up and down
with sufficient Nvivacity to call for the
applause of the crowd.
Many women were i'm the stands and
general scream went up as the pony
lost its balance and fell with Hall
pinned under him. A dozen attend
ants soon had the rider in a place of
safety though Hall limped in evident
gain. Not to be conquered Hall made
preparations to remount and the sec
ond time succeeded in riding the out
law to submission.
Belated horses which did not arrive
in time for yesterdays entertainment
are promised for next Sunday.

Olson at Grand

The management of the Grand Opera
house presents to its patrons this week
Ben Hendricks and his excellent COM
pany of actors In "Ole Olson" a twin
play to lyon Yonson.'
Ben Hendricks appears in the leading
role as Ole Olson, a young Swede, who
has "bane in dis kontry yuSt ten month
and sax wakes" and as an example OF
simple good hearted country fellow
his imperSonat ton is without an equal.
During the progress of the play Hen
bricks sings his new songs, "Strawber-
ries," Fair Land Of Sweden" and
open Your Mouth and Shut Your
Eyes" all of which were we'll received
by the large audiences at both of yes
terday's performances.
BERTHE Conway as Genie Dimple, a
young girl, with ready tongue, plucky
spirit and loyal nature, sang a few
specialties and also made a hit with
the patrons, as did Maude Barron as
Mrs. Bridget OFlannigan, an Irish
cook in search of a husband.
G. G. Wright, in the character of
Paul Jordan, man who aspires to fill
dead mans shoes, is the best type of
villain playing at the Grand since the
time of Pryce Mackey, who was the
heavy in the original Ulrich Stock COM
pany which played here two years ago.
The rest of the aggregation was well
received.
Patrons of the matinee waited until A
o'clock before the curtain went up for
the first act of the Swedish comedy.
The reason for the delay was that the
train upon which were Ben Hendricks
and the rest of the company was stalled
at the Needles Saturday morning by a
broken rail.
The management Of the Grand pro-
cured three acts from the Orpheum to
entertain the impatient audience. The
Lewis McCord company in 1.-The Night
Before; Rice and Cady, Dutch COM
edlans; and Mareena, Nevaro and Ma
reena were the acts selected.
The matinee performance lasted until
6 o'clock.

DESP0|L SAFE
WITHOUT TOOLS
SMOOTH CRACKSMEN INVADE
LOS ANGELES
Police Are Mystified and Incline to Re
Belief That Bowling Alleys
Burglars Knew the
Combination

The big steel safe in the Monarch
bowling alleys was opened by skillful
burglars Saturday night and $42.35 in
gold and silver and several valuable
papers taken.
After securing the money and valu-
ables the robbers closed the door and
locked it. The manner in which en-
trance to the alleys was made is not
known, but exit was made through
the front door, which was found I'M
locked.
This, according to the police. is the
first evidence of the presence of safe
robbers who do not use drills and
nitro-glycerin in the opening and rob-
bling of safes. This class of criminals
is the hardest to deal with, because
| it has never been known that any tell
tale tools were left behind them which
furnished clews to their identity.
When asked if there was any sus-
picion on the employees of the alleys
the police denied it emphatically.
''Such a piece of work seems prac-
tically impossible" said prominent
police official when discussing the rob-
berry, land strongly suggests that one
of the employees of the establishment
might have committed the deed
through knowledge of the combination
of the locks on the safe.
But there is a class of safe rob-
bers that have acquired the art of
opening safes by discovering the COM
bination. 1t apparently takes them
but a few minutes"
| Nothing else in the Monarch alleys
was disturbed by the robbers. Access
could easily have been made to a cigar
stand but this was left untouched.
| The report of the robbery was made
| to the police by w. H. Anson propri-
etor of the alleys. The latter does
not suspect any employees of tamper-
! ing with the safe.
| Several detectives were detailed on
| the case.

gagement at the Burbank was due to
the stars on the stage, rather than to
any brilliance on the part of the
authors. Two big audiences yesterday
sat In the effulgence cast by William
Desmond, Blanche Hall and the other
popular favorites and cheered vigor-
ously at each timely arrivance of the
hero
It was the first opportunity Robert
Romans has had In Los Angeles of DEM
onstrating his abilities and he proved
extremely satisfactory. His role was
even more strained and impossible than
the others and 1t could only be played
in cheap and maudlin manner, but
even disguised by this class of work
he showed ease and finish that was
excellent. His big scene in Act III he
handled in a masterful manner.
William Desmond portrays a brave
end educated Indian, who, besides be-
ing a most superior individual, has the
happy knack of saving lives and foilins
villains. The leading man made him
as nearly human as the characters
angelic qualifications would allow and
impaired to him the strong personality
which has for so long distinguished
Mr.. Desmond as a matinee idol. He
used his voice with great cleverness, an
ART wherein ne usually uOeS not eRCei.
Blanche Hall appears charming as
Dorothy Dunbar. Rose King does re-
markably well as Florence Sherwood
and Jane Kelton fitted well into the
part of Helen Dare.
Mishap at Matinee
Henry Stockbridge, barring his matt
nee proposal scene, was a daShing, de-
lightful lieutenant. In the afternoon
his ambition overleaped itself and fell
on the other side. as Macbeth puts ii.
AS a method of finding vent for his
emotion when Blanche Hall, as Dor
othy, proposed to him, he grabbed the
young woman in the happy, impulsive
manner he possesses and attempted to
seat her upon his knee. The center of
gravity being g. stubborn arrangement,
1t refused to yield to Mr.. Stockbridges
Judgment of proper balance and the
chair and its two occupants went over
backward in a heap on the floor. For
dignified, dainty leading woman to
find herself in a confusion of struggling
arms, legs and chair was exceedingly
embarrassing and for the remainder of
the act Miss Halls bushes outdid her
rouge by several shades
H. j. CHM does a delightful bit as
the deserter and V. T. Henderson was
enthusiastically applauded in the role of
tenderfoot. The others of the cast were
satisfactory.

SPEAKS ON JEWISH ETHICS
Rabbi Isidore Myers Delivers Enter
tanning Lecture at the Olive
Street Synagogue

Last night in the Olive street syna-
gogue Rabbi Isidore Myers delivered a
lecture on Jewish ethics. He said In
part:
THE principles of ethics, based upon
the teachings of the Bible and nodded
and expanded by the rabbis of the Tai
mud, form an essential part OF Judaism.
The ethics of the rabbis can scarcely
be surpassed. The Talmud devotes IT,
self to the incubation Of all the virtues
that grace, adorn and ennoble human
ity. 1t breathes spirit of the Hottest
piety and moral excellence, intoxicating
with the greatest earnestness and en-.
thusiasm principles of chastity, purity
justice, truth, honesty humility, for
bearance, patience, resignation, disin-
terested benevolence and universal phil
anthropy."

LAURHNs MAN FOR dovHRNoRs
1t is Said r. Lee Chandler VIII Run on
Socialist Ticket.

Columbia, April 80. -South Carolina
socialists have finally decided to put out
a State ticket, though it has not been
fully determined yet whether the ticket
will be full or only men for the leading
places nominated.
The idea of holding a State conyen-
ton has been abandoned on account of
the expense and the ticket will be ar
ragned for by correspondence and an
nounced in about two weeks. The OBJ
Ject is merely to test the strength of
the party in the State and provide for a
thorough organization by counties later.
With this purpose in view the Column
bia socialists are now taking UP the
matter of a State ticket with members
OF the party in Charleston, Greenville,
Anderson, Spartanburg, Orangeburg,
Florence, and other leading towns of
the State, taking the vote for the nomi-
nations by correspondence as it were.
r. Lee Chandler, of Clinton, will in
all probability be the candidate for
governor. He has already practically
agreed to make the race. Mr.. Chan
der is a small farmer living several
miles from Clinton, and has run
for office.

cobs, DIR. Thos. Mccoy and Mr.. w. l..
Boyd. This was at the request of Mr..
Todd, who died in February, 1902. The
question as to when the organization
should take place was left by the com
mission entirely to his Judgment and
up to the time of his death, he never
thought the way was quite clear. In
the minutes of an adjourned meeting of
Presbytery, however, held in Spartan
burg, on June 8, 1902, is the following
record: "a petition, signed by SO per-
sons, residing at or near the Laurens
Cotton Mill, was presented, asking that
Presbytery organize them into a Church
to be located at that point. In response
1t was resolved, that a commission con-
sisting of Rev. Robert Adams, Rev. B.
+. Reid and Elders C. w. Tune and j.
o. Templeton be appointed to visit that
place and organize a Church, if the way
be clear"
This commission met or July 10, 1902,
in the hall of the Cotton Mill Store that
a since been destroyed by fire. All
the members were present and the or
ganization was effected with "a men,
bers, coming from other Churches. Two
elders were elected, viz: r. j. Franks
and S. F. Parrot; and two deacons, w.
w. Blakely and w. j. Benjamin; and
the deacons, together with E. r. Blake
ly. were made trustees.
The Rev. David A. Todd had left a
legacy of $40 0 to be used in erecting a
building for the Church, whenever it
should be organized; and in honor of his
memory, its name was chosen, The
Todd Memorial Presbyterian Church.
The Rev. j. f. Pharr. in the follow
ing August or September, came to serve
Church and a call for him as it's
pastor was presented to the Presby- !,
terry at Columbia, on Oct. 23, 1902. This
all was never accepted; but he con-
;inued to supply the Church for about
months.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1906-05-02

The Rev. j. l.. McLin took charge in
Nov. 1908, as stated supply, and he is
still serving the Church in that ca
pacity.
Since n organization twenty-seyen
names have been added to the roll. two
have died, fourteen have been dis
missed to other Churches, twelve have
moved away, leaving the present resi-
dent membership of the Church thirtv-
three. AT a congregational meeting
held Jan. 4th 1904, S. III. Templeton
was elected a trustee of the Church. in
the place of e. r. Blakely, who at that
time had moved away, but has since re-
turned. AT that meeting the Rev. j.
IL. McLin and the elders and deacons
were appointed a committee to attend
to the matter of securing a lot and the
erection of a building. Efforts were
made by this committee to secure finan-
cial help from the Laurens Cotton Mill
Company, but without success The
members were greatly discouraged by
this failure. AT the fall meeting of
Presbytery at Salem Church, a sub
committee of Local Home Missions was
appointed for the Laurens Mill Dis
trict. This committee was composed of
Rev. Jas. l.. McLin, j.. o. Templeton
and j. 0. G. Fleming. After several
months elapsed, the committee secured
a lot from MIR. w. w. Jones and then
o steps to have a building erected.
n contract was let early in June
1905, TO MIR. b. z. Mundy of Greenwood
and he began work on the 10th or goth
OF the month and finished the building
August 4th, 1905. The congregation
