BIG WELCOME
FOR HEROES.
Victorious Olympia Team Arrives
Home from Athens Band Play
ed Home, Sweet Home.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The laurel
wreathed heroes of the Olympian
games, the men who conquered at
Athens, arrived here by the White Star
liner Republic. They weren't wearing
their laurel wreaths on their brows,
for modern day conventions won't
stand for such things, al in the days of
Homer, but they had them just the
same, carefully wrapped up and tucked
away in their suit cases. There were
sixteen of these young athletes all told,
looking ht to go anywhere and to do
anything in the athletic line.
And what a rousing welcome home"
they got. From the time the Republic
reached quarantine in the early morn
ing and all the way up the bay until
the victor ship" was warped into her
pier 1t was n grand hurrah. Tug
boats and ferryboats whistled and
screeched, liners dipped their flags and
the bands On the excursion boats crash
ed out tunes which told of "conquering
heroes" the "Stars and Stripes"
Home, Sweet Home that were GER
tainly thrilling to al American heart.
And when the sixteen sturdy, sun
tanned young Americans stepped down
the gangplank to the pier they
were literally mobbed by a host of
exuberant friends. Martin j. Sheri-
dan, the giant discus thrower, who
beat the Greeks at their w game.
was as a child In the crowd that surged
about him trying to grasp his hand,
while little Bill Eaton, the sprinter,
who is scarcely more than FIVE feet in
height, all but had his clothes torn
from his back by a number of his col
lege mates from Amherst.
Some one had pinned a rose on James
E. Sullivan, the manager of the team,
but that was the least of the h0nors
that were heaped upon him.
ut was great" said Mr.. Sullivan,
that's about all l can say. We won
because we We're best-the best athletes
in the world. | am SO proud of this lit
tie bunch of grit and muscle and of all
the honors heaped upon is that I'll
have to get a new hat, I'm afraid"

RACES ON THE CHARLES

BOSTON, May 2G.-1n a magnificent
race which was contested stubbornly
throughout the Cornell varsity eight
cared crew defeated the Harvard
varsity eight on the Charles river by
three lengths.
The event, which was the concluding
feature of an interesting regatta, was
a splendid exhibition by two carefully
trained and finely balanced sets OF
oarsmen, especially in view of some
adverse conditions, due to a wind
against the tide and a bad swell left
by pleasure boats which the police had
failed to clear from the course.
Cornelps official time over the course
of one and seven-eighths miles was 10
minutes Al 3-5 seconds, while Har-
wards vas 10 minutes 80 seconds.
The varsity rae was preceded by an
eight cared race between Fights from
the Cassadiila Preparatory school at
Ithaca, N. Y, and the State Prepara-
tory school of this city, which the for
mer crew won in s minutes IL 1-5 sec

A BOMBSHELL
FROM JEROME
TenanOva Murder Trial Halted
by District AttOrney--If Insane,
Girl Cannot be Tried.

NEW YORK, May 26.-On motion Of
District Attorney Jerome, Justice Scott
halted the trial of Josephine Terranova
for the murder of her aunt and APP
pointed a commission to inquire into
her mental condition. The commission
will report to the court on Monday
morning. If it finds that the girl is in
sane the trial will be discontinued, the
jury discharged and the girl committed
to the Asylum For the Criminal Insane
at Matteawan. If the commission adj
judges her sane the trial will proceed
and District Attorney Jerome will
place his experts on the stand.
The postponement of the proceedings
fell like a bombshell and was against
the objections of Judge Palmieri, coun-
sci for the girl, who claims the district
attorney made the move to save his
office from a signal defeat. The dis.
trict attorney offered to go on with the
trial If Judge Palmierl would admit
the girl is sane at this time irrespec
tive of her mental condition at the
time of the crime. Judge Palmieri re
fused TO make any admissions.
/ Justice Scott named as members OF
the commission to examine the girl DR.
William Mabon, formerly superintend.
ent of Bellevue; DR.. Louis Balch, a
practicing physician, and Ed L. Paris,
a lawyer. Mr.. Paris will advise the
two medical men as to the form of
their questions. 81 there may be no
doubt as to the legality of the proceed
ing. The examination of the girl will
be thorough, and the verdict of the Q
perts will be decisive.
1t is considered a foregone conclu-
sion she will be considered insane.

near the top, and reached through
and took five pair of shoes of vari-
Gus sizes.
When Jamucci discovered the evil
dences of the theft he reported it at

ligan detailed Patrolman Andrew
Jensen at 1880 O'Clock to make an
investigation and the officer found
that the hole in the window is so
high that the shoes could not have
been reached by any normal sized
man standing on the ground. But
the window was broken and the
shoes, according to. Jamucci's declas
ration, were missing.

vETOES BILL To GAG
PUBLIC CRITICISM.
In Disappearing Minturn Measure
Governor Says Official Miscon-
duct Should Be Rebuked.

TRENTON, May 26:-Tn refusing
yesterday to indorse the Minturn bill,
aimed at persons who issue printed
charges against public officials, Gov
ernor Stokes took the precaution to
place himself on record as decidedly
opposed to any effort by either party
machine toward the muzzling of pub
lie criticism.
The bill was introduced by Senator
James f.. Minturn, of Hudson, leader
of the democratic minority. 1t pro-
vided that the name and address OF
the author and printer should appear
at the foot of any circular, handful
booklet or poster which contained a
charge of crime, official misconduct,
&c, under a penalty of $500 fine OF
Imprisonment for six months.
In vetoing the bill Governor Stokes
said:
Senate bill No. 176 is disapproved
because its language is too broad fol-
the object contemplated. Malfeas-
ance in Office and official misconduct
are proper subjects for criticism in
public officials or candidates for
office. Such criticisms should be per
mitted without involving the printer
and, in most cases, the author there
of. Under such a law the letters OF
Junius and similar contributions tc
literature would have been and would
be impossible. / would sign an act
that limited the prohibition tc
charges under which the laws of the
state would if untrue subject the
writer to civil suit or criminal prose
cution for libel"
The governor also vetoed senate
Dill No. 1854, by Mr.. Hillery, which re-
CURED that the board bill of INDECENT
persons in state hospitals shall be
paid monthly by the state, county OF
individual responsible. In v~etoing
this bill the governor said: THE OBJ
ject of the bill is perverted by in.

A CHALLENGE TO SENATOR TlLLMAN.

Hon. f. E. Werner, Representative
this week, throws down the gauntlet and
challenges Senator b. r. Tillman to meet
him in joint debate on the dispensary
problem. Mr.. Werner makes his chal-
aengc as follows
Mr.. Tillman proposes to stand for
liquor with all it's known influences for
evil, and there seems to be no one in the
State who is willing to oppose his views.
Hc is the Goliath of this terrible intlu-
ence. and comes with curses and threat
enngs to all who would oppose him and
still no one says him nay.
Now, | believe that | can present So
berness in more acceptable dress than
he can present drunkenness; that I can
present virtue with more force than he
can present vice. that | can represent
truth more acceptably to the people than
he can represent error. Therefore, 1
here and now challenge him to discuss
the subject "Dispensary or No Dipen-
sary" at any time and place he may elect.
There is no doubt that Representative
Werner is in dead earnest. When con-
victions are as firmly set as his convic-
tions are on the whiskey question, they
beget carnestncss and zeal of the highest
order. That such a joint discussion
would prove interesting in the extreme
goes without saying-the David and
Goliath of the present day pitted against
each other in combat of word and logic {;
the David of to-day, as with David of
old, standing for the right, small in
stat;re, yet trusting in the strength Of
hiS pci nj RI -,
Goliath and his iniquitous hosts. Should
Tillman take kindly to this proposition
to discuss with Mr.. Werner the dispen-
sary problem of South Carolina, his ac-
ceptance will be the signal for eager in
tcrest on all sides.
AS to the results of such discussion
we are doubtful. 1t might serve to re-
Vive the languishing form of the dispen-
sary, while if permitted to go little no
ticed it would surely continue to die,
inch by inch, as it has been doing for the
past mOnths-sickened unto death from
the very stencil aud rottenness of its
gradual decay.
whether the question be agitated or is
permitted to remain unmooted, the result
must eventually be the same. Such a
system, so long as man is but human,
will ever debauch and drag down those
who operate it. No man is stronger than
MS weakest point; 10" men can tamper
with whiskcy and not be undone by it.
Eow many have already gone down with
the dispensary system as the author of
Shcir undoing? The time is fast coming,
IS even now here, when the people no
Longer close their eyes to this great evil,
seeing only the financial gain derived
from it, but are looking beyond and
above this sordid end to the morals of
our people and to the good name and
integrity of our State. SO may it con-
tinue to be until proud old South Caro-
lina can once more raise her head with
out the shame or seeing her fair name
emblazoned on the bottles that contain
the liquid hell to debauch her citizens.
