FIND CHARLESTON
GOOD enough.

Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.
CHARLESTON, March 24.-Charles
Williams has a recent line from his
son-in-law, F. NJ. Davis, who located
in Sacramento valley last year, stat-
ing that as soon as they could I'M
load their holdings there they ex-
pect to return to this section of the
Pacific Northwest, which is good
enough for them, and freer from in .
sect pests and other annoyaEces
than any section that they have
found since leaving this locality.
G. w. Davis, a well-known former
lancher on this fiat, who also loca-
ted in California, has given out the
fact that he expects to return to
Charleston, where he hopes to make
his future home. He has not found
things as rosy in his new location as
he had hoped for. There are reports
of several others who have left this
valley in search of better things and
seeking after strange gods which in
dicate that they have not found
what they have been hunting for,
and our population is almost certain
of being augmented by several fami-
lies that were at one time residents
here and are expecting to return.

pected to visit Charleston about the

Last week more than $4,000 Of
real estate changed hands on this
fat, and in nearly every case it was
a cash consideration, there being
few exchanges. 1t is a fact that
Charleston property is considerably
in demand, and what is more, the
demand is likely to increase.

ing the ground of White Bros, in
Charleston Heights, making ready for

FRENCH LAW TO RENDER DIVORCE
EASIER PASSED By PARLIAMENT;
DECLARED A MOVE FOR FREE UNION

Paris, March 25.-The senate by an
overwhelming majority has concurred
in the bill recently passed by the
chamber of deputies automatically to
convert a decree of separation into a
divorce at the end of three years,
when either party to the separation
requests it.
The constantly growing number of
divorces in France since the restora-
tion of the divorce law in 1886 (mar-
riage having been indissioluble through
out French history except for the per-
iod from the beginning of the revolu-
tion of the restoration in 1S15), has
been the subject of an intensely inter-
esting and bitter controversy.
Stirred Up by Play.
Recently Paul Bourget, as the cham
pion of the traditional indissoluble
union, precipitated it with his prob
lem play, "a Divorce" in which he
portrayed the wreck following in the
wake of the separation of parents. The
dispute took wide range in the news.
papers and a referendum was held
at the theater where the play was
given. A statement attributed to M.
BRAND, now minister of justice, ir
favor of trial marriages. but which

the minister repudiated, added piquan-
cy to the controversy. Men and wo-
men, married, unmarried and divorc-
ed, old and young, came forward and
told pathetic stories of life tragedies
in support of their respective conten-
tions. In the end the friends of great
er freedom of union and disunion had
the better of it in parliament, the
referendum" and the public prints.
"Step Into the Abyss.o
NJ Bourget, while reaffirming his ir-
reconcilable opposition to the princi-
pie of divorce says he is not surpris-
ed, either at the senate's action or
the expression of public opinion. "As
student of moral science" said he
81 long ago foresaw what France was
coming to. We are hurrying toward
free union France is divided into
two camps-one, the feebler, opposes
divorce; the other, the stronger, IA
vors free union. The new law voted
by the senate is the first step, for ii
frankly establishes divorce upon the
demand of the husband or wife-a
principle not only contrary to morali.
ty, but contrary to the rules of soci
Iety. AS Frenchman, am profound
ly grieyed to witness this further step

TWO new SENATORS
FOR VACANT POSTS
Former Governor J. w. Smith of Mary
land and Ex-Governor j. w. Stew
art of Vermont Are Named.

Annapolis, Md, March 25.-The
democratic members of both houses
of the legislature yesterday voted
unanimously for former Governor
John Walter Smith for United States
senator to fill out the unexpired term
of the late William Pinckney Whyte.
Ex-Governor Smith already has been
chosen for the full six year term be-
ginning March (, 1909.
The republican members did not
participate in the election, taking the
ground that any other course would
be in violation of the federal statutes,
which provide for a longer period be-
tween the death of a senator and the
election of his successor than had
transpired in the case.
1t is said on authority that should
the United States senate refuse to
recognize the regularity of the cleo
ton Governor Crothers will appoint
Mr.. Smith, and should this appoint
ment fail of recognition the position
will be left vacant.

Crowds Swarm Around.
In less than five minutes a crowd
swarmed into the bank and demanded
payment. The clerks, in charge of
PATS nephew, finding themselves with.
out the necessary cash after paying
out $500, were forced to suspend
business.
Word was sent to the Mulberry

found thousands of persons trying to
force their way into the bank, the
clerks having closed the doors. Draw
ing their pistols and clubs, 30 blue
coats gradually orced the crowd back
into adjacent streets.

New York, March 25.-In pursuance

Elizabeth street was yesterday forced
to suspend payment after a run of
depositors, of whom 5000 gathered
outside the establishment, uttering
threats and many of them brandishing

The police declare that the run was
engineered by the Black Hand because
Pasquale Pati killed an Italian who

of death.

Washington, March 25.-A special

in both houses of congress today and

the declaration that the time had
come for a revision of the tariff elecit-
ed hand-clapping on the part of the
democratic members.
Democratic approval was also given
to the suggestion that congress could
with advantage forthwith remove the
tariff on wood pulp with a correspond
ing reduction upon paper made from

confined their applause to the mes
sage as a whole. In the senate the
message was received without COM
ment of any kind. The message fol
lows:
To the Senate and House of Represent
atives:
/ call your attention to certain meas
ures as TO which think there should
be action, by the congress before the
close of the present session. There is
ample time for their consideration. AS
regards most, il not all, of the matters
bills have been introduced into one or
the other of the two houses. and 1t IS
not too much to hope that action will
be taken one way or the other on these
bills at the present session. In my
message at the opening of the present
session, and, indeed, in various mes
saGes TO previous congresses, ] have
repeatedly suggested action ON most of
these measures.
Prohibition of Child Labor First.
Child labor should he prohibited

child labor bill should bepassed for the
District of Columbia. 1t is unfortunate
that in the one place solely dependent
upon congress for its legislation there
should be no law whatever to protect
children by forblddlng or regulating
their labor.
Liability for Employers of Labor.

immediate reenactment of an employ

the recent decision of the supreme
court. Within the limits indicated by
the court the law should be made thor.

ATTEMPTED LIFE OF sHIPPY
Testimony Bears Out Story That
Young Man Planned to Kill
Police Chief.

Chicago, March 25. jeremiah
Averbuch, the young Russian anarch-
ist, came to his death at the hands of
Chief of Police George NJ. Shippy and
shooting was justified.
This was the verdict returned last
evening by the coroners jury after
ali all day inquest. Every detail that
occurred at the chiefs residence in
Lincoln place on the morning of
March was disclosed fully.
1t was established to the satisfac-
ton of the jury that the shooting was
done in self-defense-that Averbuch
had fired the first shot, which dan
gerously wounded the chiefs son,
Harry, and that the chief fired his
own weapon, while believing his son
wounded to death, and to save his
own life.

1t was demonstrated that Driver
Foley shot after he himself had been
wounded in the hand in attempting

The evidence further all tended tC
show that Averbuch, armed with re
vClver and knife, had gone to the
Shippy house with the plain intention
OF assassinating the chief of police.
