AT New Orleans Friday a touch OF
international aspect was given the Ital.
ian disorder resulting from the La
mana kidnapping, when Italian Consul
Solesld appealed to Governor Blanch-
ard for protection to eight Italians
against possible violence. The eight
had been arrested as suspects and con
fined in the rickety third precinct sta

ed against mob attacks None Of the
prisoners were naturalized American
citizens.
Governor Blanchard said he could
not interfere, but city police took the
hint and transferred the Italians to a
safer Jail
The New Orleans malta troubles
and lynchings, which brought the
United States into unpleasant diplo-
matte dealings with Italy a few years
ago, are recalled by the present ex-

WOMAN LOSES CASH.
Accompanied Man to Texas to Buy Lands
and Was Assaulted and Robbed
Of SCI 600.


Charged with robbing Mrs. sallie
Gibbons Of Columbia, S. C., Of s61 600,
Rufus Williams, now in jail at San
Antonio, Texas. has confessed to the
crime.
He was caught Friday on an east
bound Southern Pacific train on his
way to New Orleans. Mrs. Gibbons
and Williams arrived in San Antonio
Thursday morning from the east, the
former for the purpose of buying Tex
as lands.
She had on her person $4,000 in
bills and the balance in gold coin. At
noon Williams obtained a local livery
and suggested a drive in the woods.
Mrs Gibbons was struck on the head
and an attempt was made to drown
her Williams stated he took her
money
Mrs Gibbons is a well known wo-
man in Columbia. She inherited
large fortune from her uncle, the late
Squire Levi Metz, who, at one time,
was worth several hundred thousand
dollars.
About twenty years ago, in the fail
ure OF a Columbia bank through the
embezzlement Of the cashier, Metz
lost heavily and became involved in
number Of lawsuits. AS a result he was
ever after afraid to trust any kind Of
bank, and it was currently believed
that he kept large sums Of money
in his little house in North Column

Mrs. Gibson lived with him for
years prior to his death and came into
all OF his property when he died two
years ago,
Last fall Mrs. Gibson was called to
the door about o'clock one morning
and struck on the head by an unknown
person. 1t was supposed that her as
saiIant purposed to rob her, but her
screams aroused her neighbors,
and he did not accomplish his pur-
pose. Within the last few weeks, Mrs.
Gibson sold for $4,000 the old Metz
property on North Main street; she
sold for $4,000 a tract Of timber land
In Lexington county. In order to make
a title to these properties she had
lately settled up numerous claims
against the Metz estate, but it has
been supposed al the time that she
had large sums of cash in her posses
sion and carried money with her.
She recently compromised a case
against the Southern railway for dam
ages received while travelling to okla
homa to visit her sister last year.
Mrs. Gibson is regarded as eccentric.
She frequently had spells in which
she would alternately pray and curse
in loud voice for hours on her piaz-
"a in the dead of night.
She has a number of relatives in Co
lumbia, some of whom are prominent
citizens, but none of them had any
influence with her

RUSS DOUMA
KNOCKED OUT
Car Abolishes WrangIing Lower
House of Parliament.
TROOPS BAR TROUBLE
Useless Lawmaking Body Dissolved by
Edict of Autocrat---New Elections
to Be Held

A st. Petersburg special says: En-
peror Nicholas affixed his signature
Sunday morning to an imperial ukase
abolishing the present duma and or
dering that the elections of members
to it's successor, which is to meet
November IA, be held under the new
election law. which provides against
the submergence of the educated class
es by the uneducated masses.
This act constitutes a virtual coup
detat and overrides the specific pro-
visions of the fundamental laws of the
realm, solemnly proclaimed by his
majesty on the eve Of the convocation
of the first duma, which declare that
the electoral law could never be chang
ed without the consent of parliament
itself.
The breach of the constitution is JUS.
tilted by the great law of necessity,
the advisors of the emperor holding
it impossible under present conditions
to secure a parliament capable Of CO.
operating tremendously with the
crown to rescue Russia from anarchy
and revolution.
The session Of the council Of minis
tiers, at which the decision to dissolve
parliament was reached, was a long
one. Il lasted from 9 O'Clock Saturday
night until nearly 4 o'clock Sunday
morning. The ministers had agreed
upon the terms Of the ukase, before
midnight. however, and a draft of the
ukase was taken Immediately to Pc
terhof, where the emperor afterward
affixed his signature.
The dissolution of the Russian duma,
arising directly out Of the refusal Of
that body to consent to the demand
made upon it by Premier Stolypin that
it permit the arrest of a number Of
its members on the charge of conspir-
ing against the state, does not come
as a surprise In fact, it had been
freely predicted ever since the lower
house first met OH March 5 of this
year that its dissolution was only a
question Of time.
The history of this duma, like it's
predecessors, has been one of almost
constant clashes with the government
The deputies were insistent on radi-
cal changes, and their persistence in
this course resulted in what amounts
to charge by the government that
the duma was a shelter for conspiracy
and treason against the state.
Demonstrations among ST. Peters
burg workmen are anticipated later
but the authorities are not alarmed.
They profess to be chiefly apprehen-
sive over the possibility of rioting
and racial excuses in Odessa and
Kiey and other cities where party feel
ing runs high An outbreak of agrari-
an disorders in several regions of the
empire is also anticipated when the
peasantry learn of the dissolution, but
spirit Of quiet confidence in the
ability Of the government to handle
the situation prevails in administra-
tive circles.

LODGE SECRETS GUESSED AT.
A Western Newspaper Tries Hard,
But Fails Miseraby.

Ii is q very human trait TO enjoy a
secret, and that is why there are
lodges and societies Secrets do not
grow of themselves for everybody,
and so those who do not have them
invent them and have grips and pass
words. 1t promotes thoroughly en-.
joyable feeling of guilt, especially as
envious outsiders are always guessing
at the secrets, and what the lodges
are for.
But the person who has studied his
Poe and his Conan Doyle need never
be at a loss TO read these alleged
riddles. Induction. or deduction.
analysis or syntbesis, according to his
habits of mlnu or his idea OF what
words mean, will enable him to resolve
the most cryptic things.
Just for instance: There is the
ladies' lodge called the "P. e. O." No
member of the lodge will tell what the
mystic letters mean, and from the
capitalization and punctuation the
superficial observer is led to believe
that they are initials of words and
vainly speculate in that direction. But
the mind trained in psychological re-
search"-we wish we knew entirely
what that means-will proceed to con-
slider "P. Il. O." in this wise.
It is the feminine nature to deceive.
Therefore, p. f. o. in its beginning
will not represent what it appears 10
represent. 1t can then be only
'Peo-." That is the first half of "Peo-
ple." 1t is the men who are the "ple." "
With the men pile" pronounced 81"
We are the people, say the "P. f. Os.
We are the first and greater half. The
men are simply ""-with which we
all agree.
Now we have the yellow Piners, "

lodge recently gave a function in Glen

We have yellow (signifying jealousy,

that the "P f. O." lacks the "ple, -
and that the yellow Piners" are
anxious to be the "ple." In the inter.
