TRIES TO DODGE
hearst REACHED BY BREAKING
DOWN DOOR.
Deputy Sheriff Starts to Break in
Door OF Toilet Room When He
Comes Ont and surrenders.

After dramatic scene on Union
Pacific train at Omaha, Neb., Thur
day night in which the door of has
stateroom was burst open by depu-
ty sheriff, William Randolph Hears,
| millionaire editor, was served with
papers notifying him that suit for
100000 has been brought against
him for SANDER and libel by Governor
Charles N. Haskell, of Oklahoma, IL
the Douglas CT rnty, Nebraska, dis
trict court.
The suit was filed with the dis
trict court last night, after which
the papers were Immediately with
drawn. The train did not arrive
until 1925. A deputy sheriff was
on hand with orders to serve the
summons on Hearst. A knock Of
the door of Hearst's state-room elic-
tied the information from the edi-
tors wife that he was not in the
room, but had gone to the station
to send a telegram.
The deputy sheriff demanded ad~
mittance in the name Of the law,
saving, IL not admitted, he would
break down the door. There ensued
a dramatic scene. Mrs. Hearst on
the inside screamed out she vas
alone and would admit no man, and
the deputy proceeded to carry out his
threat; using his shoulder as q bat
tering ram, he crashed through the
door and was met by Mrs. Hearst
partially disrobed, apparently on the
verge Of hysteria.
Nothing daunted, although Mrs.
Hearst rushed screaming through
the door out in the aisle, Deputy
Sheriff Stewart started to kick in
the door of the toilet room ad1oin-
ing the state-room. Then Hearst
emerged and accepted the papers.
To. a reporter Hearst said that the
summons was unexpected, and he
had not the elast suspicion that any,
thing of the kind was to occur In
Omaha.
"Why did you refuse admittance
TO the officers?" was asked.
Because myself and wife Wer',
retiring for the night" explained
Hearst. "I have no objection to be-
ing served with these papers here
In Omaha or anywhere else.

A PREDICTION VERIFIED
About a Trust Goblcd Soap Factory
in Nebraska.

In speech at Nebraska City M.
Bryan compared his meeting there
this year with his meeting there
in 1900, and left with the chair
man of the committee SIS to be pre-
sented to the campaign fund Of the
Republican committee If they would
consent to carry the same banners
in their parade that they carried ut
that time.
At that time he predicted that the
starch trust, which was being prose-
cuted under the State statue would
be likely to close the factory at that
place, and it was intimated that
physical violance would be done him
IL he spoke in that city. II told them
then that I would denounce the trust
even in the shadow Of the starch
factory" he said. where are the
Republicans who mockingly wrote
to me after the election and declared
that the shadow of the starch fac
tory extended across the State? How
far does the shadow reach now?
The factory is closed down; the
machinery has been removed and the
building is in the hands of wreck
ing crew."

MILK DEALER is DETECTED.
Typhoid in Family Of Farmer Who
Supplies Him.

A Chicago dispatch says after dis
covering more than fifty cases Of
typhoid fever among customers Of
Ernest Pitcher, West Pullman milk
dealer, officials of the department
of health have ordered him to di2-
continue the sale Of milk Immediately

A police guard was reqTisit'oned
by DR.. Gottfried Koehler, chief food
inspector. to sse that the order,
which will affect about 800 custo-
mers. is enforced and that the dealer
does not send out any wagons.
Health department inspectors
found typhoid in the family Of one
OF the farmers from whom PichleT
obtains his supply of milk. A2coT-
ding to Dr.. Koehler, Pchler knew
of these facts as long ago as Mon
day, but continued to ditribute milk
until the inspectors stopped him. !"

ANOTHER NEW COUNTY
Proposed Out of Portions Of Aiken
and Lexington.

A dispatch from Columbia to The
News and Courier says the promo
ter of the project to form from por-
tions of Aiken and Lexington coun-
ties new county, to be known as
"Summerland," have seized upon tn"
failure of the EdiSto new county
proposition as an auspicious occa-
sion for the renewal Of effort in be-
half Of their own scheme. 1t Is
claimed that the necessary territory
with the required population ana
area, can be found in the old coun-
ties, and that there should by al!
means be a county seat on the rail-
road between Columbia and Angus
ia. Leesville and Batesburg are the
two wings that would soon gather
around the Court House, making an

JURORS GAMBLEO
ON THE LIFE OF a MAN THEY
TRIED.
Verdict Set Aside Because Two Jurors
Resorted to Game Of Chance in
Order to Arrive at q Conclusion.

A dispatch from Aiken to The
News and Courier says William
Knox, the convicted murder of Pick.
ems Penn, was given a new trial By
Judge Wilson, who heard the argu'
ments for a new trial on the groun1
of irregularity in the jury room.
Knox was convicted or murder last
week in the Criminal Court, but h.
was not sentenced at that time IN
order that his counsel might be heard
| in a motion for new trial. Last
Saturday the defendant was called
up to be sentenced, but the solicitor
asked for a postponement until yes
terday. The arguments were begun
late Yesterday afternoon and end
ed this morning by the Judge setting
aside the verdict.
The ground for the new trial is
most unusual. Affidavits were pro-
duced by Knox's counsel, Messrs.
Henderson and Davis, Gunter and
Gyles, from four Of the jurors who
sat on the case. These afidavits
were in effect that ten of the jurymen
stood for murder, without recommen-
dation, and that two stood for MUIR
der with recommendation to the
mercy of the Court, thus reducing
the sentence to life imprisonment.
They could not arrive at a conclu-
sion by reasoning the matter and re-
sorted to the uncertain game OF
chance. It was proposed that two
slips Of paper, one marked muir
der" which was to stand for no rec
omendation, and the other to lie
marked mercy" to indicate rec
ommendation for mercy, were to be
placed in a hat and drawn for.
This was agreed to and the slips
were placed in the hat. 1t was
agreed by the two that If the 'mnr-
der" slip was drawn they would give
in to the ten, and if the mercy
slip was drawn the verdict shoul
be guilty with a recommendation to
mercy.
Fate was against Knox in the jury
room and when the draw was made
the murder" slip was drawn oui,
and the verdict was accordingly
signed and rendered to the Court.
The defendants counsel contend
ed that this was gambling the life of
the defendant away. and could not
have been their honest convictions,
and was contrary to the law, and ask
ed that the verdict be set aside.

ALIENS FOR SOUTH
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE.
AND LABOR TAKES UP WORK.
Will Assist People Of South Carolina
to Get the Help They Need In Va
rious Lines Of Industry.

rious Lines Of Industry.
The bureau of information, of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
has undertaken the matter of dis
tributing aliens in several States OF
the South, as will be seen by commu'
nications sent to the various State
officers interested in immigration.
The division of information was
created by Congress for the pur-
pose of promoting the distribution
of admitted aliens and other pesons
seeking employment.
1t is directed that the same meas
ure of attention be given to the work
of the division of information as is
accorded other immigration work.
In carrying out this plan Secretary
Strauss has directed that one enl-
ployee be detailed to take charge
of information and distribu-
tion work at each immigration sta
ton, who will receive and distribute
documents and send to- the division
of information a comprehensive rec
ord of all applications for informa-
ton and those who are directed to
employment.
The bureau of information today
also started the big task of getting
In touch with farmers, .manufactuT-
ers and all other persons through
out the South to learn at first hand
|if they are in need of help, par
ticularly farm laborers. common lap,
orers, mechanics, etc. This Work
alone will require the sending out
of 100000 return postal cards for
distribution by rural delivery car
riers in the States Of Virginia, West
Virginia, North Carolina, South Car
clina. Kentucky. Cen:Sia. Alaoama'
Mississippi and other States in the
South. On the cards that are re-
turned will be indicated the kind of
labor needed, the bureau OF lnlo:-
nation will then assist in securing
the kind of HELM wanted.
Up to this time work of this
kind has been mainly carried on IN
the Northwestern States, but Secrc-
tary Strauss said that from now
on considerable attention will be de-
voted to the States named and that
II they do not succeed in securing
the Kind Of help they require 1t will
not be the fault Of his department.
At an early date the officials who
is to be sent to Charleston will he
named by eecreta-r Strauss. AS al
ready stated, it will be his duty t1
assist the people of South Carolina
as the representative OF the govern
ment, to find the kind of help they
want. He will also cooperate IN
the closest way with Commissioner
Watson concerning the different
phases Of the immigration question
and no doubt much good will come a<
result of the new plans.
