MORE TO FOLLOW.
Accustomed as they are to sensa-
tions il, connection with the State
dispensary, the people of South Car
olina were very much astounded yes
te.day to learn that NJ A Goodman,
an agent of Cincinnati liquor
house, had been arrested and that
warrants had been-issued for the ar.
rest of others implicated in testi-
mony produced at the hearing Tues
day. Some of those named in the

cred himself to Sheriff Coleman,
,sMho happened to be present. Maj.
Blacks bond was placed at $4,000
land this was deposited at once.
The commission had also placed
. in the hands of Sheriff Coleman
warrants for the arrest of L w Boy
j kia and John Bell Towlll. These
; warrants we're mailed by Sheriff
Coleman to peace officers in the
county in which the two former dis
pensary directors live. The warrant
SFarnum was"non est inventus.'
If;Towill and Boykin have been ar
rested, that fact has not been com-
municated'to the commission by
Sheriff Coleman. Members of the
commission last night were complain
ing of Sheriff Coleman's manage
ment of the matters entrusted to
him.
The allegations in these warrants
are.that the parties named Joined TO-
gether or conspired to defraud the
State of South Carolina. The COM
mission acted with deliberation IN
this matter. One of the members
said last night;
.'We have evidence ample to Sc
cure a conviction IN some counties IN
the State, and by the time we get
through with this matter l think
that we will be able to convict in
.ahx county where the juries can en-
certain unprejudiced ldeas.''
One of the incidents i'm the hear
ing W hlch led up to the arrest of N
AGoodman was the producing of {
letter which he had written to [
Ehrlich, with whom he was in part
nership. Mr. Lyon has had this let

has2endeavored to get a confession
from Ehrlich. This he was not abl

lieh gave him an affidavit whicl
threw great deal of light on tn
whole Ullman transaction. -.

session of the commission at the
Hotel Jerome. Nothing was
given out for publication but re.
velations of a startling nature
may be expected at most any
time as a result of last nights
work.
While an adjournment of the
commission was taken until
Jan. 30, 1t is not at all unlikely
that they will be called in
special session at any date.
Reports received from detec.
tives and special representa-
tives of the commission now in
the field indicate that fully as
interesting revelations may be
expected in the next few weeks
as those which have already
been given to the public. In
dictments will probably be made
against other liquor men charg-
ing conspiracy to defraud the
State and requisition papers
will be asked for them if any
objection is raised to coming
here. Probably no less than rs
persons will be indicted by the
attorney general as a result OF
the revelations which are being
developed through the search.

POLITICAL GAME IN OHIO.
Taft Aided BY Senatorial Contest to
Evade Rupture.

CHICAGO, July 17.-Caose friends
of Taft here today say that the en-
trance of Representative Theoi're
Burton and former Governor My
T. Herrick into the senatorial con-
test will be the salvation OF TAR IN
Ohio.
Taft then will announce that ne
can not choose between them, 1t Is
said. and in that way will be able
to retire absolutely from the sena-
torial fight and avoid opposing For
aker.
In such an event, It is pointed
ont. the Foraker followers could
support Taft for the presidency, and
harmony would be restored for .prac-
tical purposes. SO far as the Taft
candidacy is concerned.
Senator Dick. one of the most 10y
al suDporters OF Foraker, has been
offered a prominent post in the di-
rection Of the Taft campaign. and
unless the senatorial fight forbids II
is expected he will accept.

This resulted in reconciliation

Three C0RNERED
Shrine FIGHT

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July H.
Twenty-Five thousand guests are al
ready in the city and every incom-
ing train adds to the tremendous
attendance of Shriners and others
in attendance at the thirty-fourth
annual sessions of the imperial
council. Arab patrols are marching
on almost every business street in
the city, five hundred automobiles
are scurrying about town showing
the ladies the sights and flags and
bunting and gay colors decorate
every building. 1t is the biggest
week St. Paul has ever seen and
new records will be established for
total attendance at the imperial
council meetings.
Three cities are engaged in the
fight for the next imperial council
sessions. Louisville was first ON
the ground and claims to have It all
buttoned up, but Seattle has ap-
peared with a large and exception
ally energetic delegation, and now
comes Atlantic City, with a splendid
organized committee of boosters and
promises to give prior claimants the
fight of their lives. Other cities
will. it is expected. enter the con-
test, which is already hot and de-
veloping much interest.
st. Joseph has created a sensation
with its camels and its superb pa
troll, and Indianapolis claims the
center of the stage wherever Its
home patrol appears. Chicago is on
hand with an enormous delegation
and an excellent patrol. and Almas
patrol of Washington is attracting
much attention. There are only 81
patrols in all. and the streets are
gay with Turkish costumes and the
