SAN FRANCISCO. April 27.-J.
DalzelI Brown, formerly manager of
the California Safe Deposit and Trust
company, pleaded guilty to the charge
of embezzling sixty-five mortgage
bonds of the Sacramento Gas and
Electric company and was sentenced
to eighteen months Imprisonment at
San Quentin.
Brown was arrested several months
ago for his part in the alleged wreck
ing of the bank and pleaded not guilty
when first arraigned before Judge
Conlan. 1t is said he will now turn
states evidence.
Ieniency was exercised by the judge
upon the statement of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Cook that Brown had
never profited through the crooked
financial methods of the bank, was the
least culpable of the bank officials and
is in a position to assist the deposltors
to a material extent.
1t is said that Brown will go before
the grand jury this afternoon to tell
all he knows in connection with the
banks failure and will then go to the
penitentiary without delay.

nection with the same case will fol-

well, held by Cook next in order of
guilt. will be set for trial upon that
day.
II have never profited to the extent
of one dollar in the banks failure
said Brown when asked by the judge
whether he had anything to say in
his own behalf. There was trem-
bling in his voice, but no sign of
weakening in his face. He stood up
straight and made his statement in a
matter of fact air without bravado.
When the case was called for trial
before Judge Conlan this morning
Attorney Hiram Johnson arose with
the statement that he wished to with
draw the demurrer and motions made
in the behalf of his client against the
indictment and also to withdraw the
plea of not guilty entered at the ar
raignment.
He then asked that the sentence be
passed at this time.
"Stand up, Mr.. Brown" said the
Judge. The prisoner obeyed.
The Judge then followed with the
reading of the Indictment When the
question was asked whether there was
any objection to an immediate sentence
Assistant District Attorney Cook arose
and delivered a carefully prepared
statement, after which the judge pro-
nounced sentence

One Prominent Merchant Compelled

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 27.-The French
cruiser De Estres is in port from
Hayti where the ship was sent at the
time of the recent attempted revolu-
ton to look after French interests.
The officers of the ship have many
stories to tell of the revolution.
While at Port Au Prince, Hayti, the
warship was the haven for eighty
refugees, and the officers told yester-
day of the horrors of the nocturnal
execution of March Is of a group of
men accused of attempting to incite a
revolution a few days after President
Nord Alexis had quelled q rising
against his administration.
There were not enough graves dug
for all the persons who were shot and
one prominent merchant had to sit and
watch the soldiers dig his future bur-
ial place.
AS the firing squad was in a hurry
his grave was dug only of sufficient
size to allow his body to be buried
with his arms and knees together.
The bullets failed to kill him and he
was tumbled into the hole which was
yet too small. Then the grave-diggers
pushed him in with their shovels and
while they were covering him he
sought to protest by moving his hands.

ATLANTA, Ga. April 27.-Conditions
in the district stricken by the storm of
Friday, Saturday and Sunday show no
Improvement. The death list may
reach 450. The list of injured stands
at 1877.
Apparently Mississippi and Louisi-
ana were the chief sufferers.
Relief measures have bean taken in
Montgomery, Mobile, New orleans and
other places. The report of the wealth
er bureau indicating frost for tonight
has hastened preparations for the re-
lief of the homeless.
There have been no serious develop
ments in the flood situation in the way
of loss of life, but the property damage
in parts of Georgia and Alabama will
be heavy. The financial loss will ag-
gregate several million dollars in Mis-
sssippi, Louisiana, Alabama and
Georgia.
Reports from Cathoula parish. La,
tell of the death of several persons and
of great destruction of property. The
report from Richton, Miss, tells of the
death of fifteen persons and the injury
of many more.
Reports from the territory between
Purvis, Miss, and the Gulf & Ship
Island railroad also add to the death
list.
Governor Noel of Mississippi has
acknowledged receipt of a telegram
from President Roosevelt offering aid.
Governor Noel has ordered all the tents
in nearby towns rushed to Purvis,
where there is much suffering.
Devastation by wind was followed
today by reports of serious flood con-
ditions in parts of Georgia,
Columbus, Ca, on the Alabama line,
is the chief sufferer, according to the
early reports. The Chattahoochie river
at that point is rising foot an hour,
The power house supplying the city
with light is partly submerged, fac
tories near the river have been forced
to suspend operations and the street
cars have been stopped. Two steam
boats were torn from their moorings
today and have gone down the river.
Reports coming into Mobile from ad-
jacent territory today tell of the worst
hail storm in recent years. AT noon all
railroads leading into Mobile are tied
up with little prospect of traffic being
resumed before night. The storm was
very fierce in the lower bay and many
ships at anchor were dragged some dis
tance.
WASHINGTON, April 27.--The Off
cials of the Red Cross today announced
that the organization stood ready to
assist in any way it could in extend
ng help to the sufferers from the tor
nado in the south. 1t will furnish
nurses, doctors and supplies.
The association also announces that
it will receive donations for the suffer-
ing people. The governor has appealed
directly to the president regarding the
n storms. l2QlS-
lature, the governor says, has made
no provision for such calamities except
to supply tents and military aid. The
president referred the governors tele-
gram to the army and navy, which
will do all they can.

Aftermath of Fire

Bennettsvllle has suffered a
hhavy loss, but her people are
not complaining or dispairing.
They r up and doing, with
faces to the future, not brooding
over the past. Sol Brown, who
was one of the heaviest losers by
the fire, expressed a sentiment that
all feel when he remarked:
There is no use to cry over
split milk. Call up the COWS and
milk again"
Before the fire stopped burning,
Mr. Matheson had a force at work
getting out the brick and cleaning
them off. He says he does not in
tend to build another hotel where
the Skye stood, as it was not q
paying investment and was q con-
slant source oflworry. He will build
something else or sell the land for
others to build on. If the new
Planters bank building had not
been begun, he would build it on
the corner of the burnt block.
The fire will not interfere with
Mr. Matheson's trip to Europe.
He expects to leave on st Valen-
tines day, with Mrs Matheson,
Miss Maybe and their cousin, Miss
Thedosia Jones, the local editor
of the Marion Star. They will be
gone three or four months. In
the mean time nothing will be done
on the hotel lot, unless it is sold.
CE Exum, e d Moore, S
Pearson, DR. Grassland and Mrs

The influence of the home upon
happiness can hardly be overesti-
mated. The family is the great
American institution, and yet for
some reason, no scholar has given
us a history of the influence of the
home upon individual happiness
and cultured civilization in gener-
al. If Bishop Bryce has written
the history Of our laws that make
o mans house his castle, it re-
<Dains for their students to trace
the rise and growth of rich ahec-
ton that turns a house into n real
home. Evcry member of the fam-
lily should pride himself with tho
fact that it is his duty to lend a
besring hand in making the homo
dWHAace of happiness.
They who love their own and
are beloved can say, Let events
do their best, l have a happy
home" Immcsurable, the inhu-
ence of the home upon a mans
commerce and Industry.
The history of invention and
tools is very largely the story how
when some new want or hunger
has arisen in the home, man has
gone forth to provide some means
for satisfying the desire ofhis low
cd one. For the sake of his home,
man will shiver in the Arctics,
searching for gold and furs; for
IL home man will penetrate all
forests, climb all mountains, brave
