Letter to Parsons.
Ny Dear Parsons: 1 am aware
that you and many other friends Of
mine in New York state, who are also
friends Of Governor Hughes, have
hesitated as to the course to pursue
in respect to the republican nomina-
ton for the presidency. wish you
and them to understand that az far as
l am concerned there should be no
embarrassment IN this regard.
Il have uniformly urged friends Of
mine not to attempt to divide in my
interest the delegation from any
state which has candidate Of it's
own. Since Governor Hughes has In
dicated his willingness to accept the
republican nomination, now make
the same request Of you and my 9TH
er friends in your state. Moreover,
would greatly deprecate contest
which might imperil republican vic
tory IN New York in November. Any
thing that can do to avert this
am anxious to do. Very sincerely
yours, WILLIAM II. TAFT"

THREE RICHMOND
MEN IN SQUABBLE
Are Connected With Century
Which Secured Emper-
or's Interview.
WORLD RETRACTS STORY
BLAMEs HALE, WHO DENIED EV-
Err GIVING THE INTERVIEW
FOR ITS PUBLICATION, AND
HUMBLY APOLOGIES.

Richmond people are following with
the keenest interest every detail in
connection with the war of words
charges and counter-charges-w which
has resulted from the recent announce
ment that the Century Magazine OF
New York had decided to suppress an
interview obtained from Kaiser Will
helm of Germany, by William Bayard
Hale. a former Richmond man, as the
German foreign office had brought
great pressure to bear on the manage
ment Of the magazine to have this in
terview relegated to the discard. What
makes the affair, which is as humor-
ous as 1t is serious so very interesting
to Richmond people, is the fact that
Richmond men affected by it-Frank
Scott, treasurer of the Century compa-
ny, and Robert U. Johnson, editor.
A few days ago the New York Herald
printed what purported to be an au-
thentic synopsis of the suppressed in
serview The following day DR.. Hale
denied that the interview was cor
dectone. The latest chapter in the
sQuabble is the action 0 the World in
Tetracting the article it published. In
doing so, the World says that it was
led to believe the article was correct,
inasmuch as a proof of 1t was submit
ted to DIR. Hale for approval and he re-
turned it to the World with correc-
tions in his own handwriting.
Monday the World published an edi-
torial apologizing for the article, and
placing the entire blame Of it's publ
cation on DR.. Hale. Ten words from
him would have made the publication
impossible" says the World. The
World has also given out the following
cable gram sent to the German foreign
office, the chief of which has turned
grey barred during his brief expert
ence with up-to-date American jour
ualism:
prince Won Buelow, Imperial Chan
cellor, Berlin:
After painstaking investigation
the New York World finds no con-
vincing basis of fact for it's published
synopsis of the Hale interview with
his majesty, the German emperor.
'It accepts your verdict that the al
legged interview ascribed to the empe-
ror stupidity absurd words which he
cannot have uttered.
As a matter of simple justice to the
German emperor and the German PEG
pie, the World will print an editorial
leader Monday morning expressing its
sincere regret at the publication Of a
synopsis which it regards as mislead
ing and mischievous.
1T was an honest mistake commit
ted merely through overzeal, without
the knowledge of the proprietor OF
chief editor, and so late at night that
the article old not appear in the first
edition.
Proofs of the synopsis sent to the
author of the interview had been cor
rected in his own handwriting. This
was naturally accepted as evidence
that the article, as printed, was per.
sonally approved by him.

NEGRESS CAUSE OF
HIS DOWNFALL
Authorities Differ on Punish
ment of Kokomo Man.

Police and circuit court judges in
this city and others of Indiana, differ
in their opinions of the judge of Ko-
komo who gave Thomas Carol a
white man, who had been residing
with negro housekeeper, a fine of
$500 and costs and sentenced him to
six months in Jail. Some declare the
charge of immortality placed against
Carol did not warrant such severe
punishment and others assert it did.
The local courts never have imposed
such fine for the same offense.
Carol was engaged in the furniture
business at Troy, Ohio. He left his
home, family and business and went
to Kokomo. Soon after a comedy col
ored woman arrived and Carol an
nounced he had employed her as his
housekeeper. The neighbors became
suspicious and the case was reported.
Soon the womans husband arrived
and exposure followed. The woman
repented and returned to her home
and Carol was sent to Jail.

PACING WHISKEY FAMINE.
Dispensary Middle Caused Stocks to
Become Depleted.

Dispensary Muddle Caused Stocks to
Become Depleted.
+. Lake City, May 29.-Gov. Ansel
has about succeeded in making Will
iamsburg county dry. There were
charges and counter charges, lnsllnu-
ations- and ugly rumors in January
involving members and clerk OF the
<dispensary board, each accusing the
other of wrongdoing. Finally a
member demanded the State auditor
to investigate. This Investigation
was at Kingstree March 18, evidence
taken and stenographic report Tor
warded to the governor Feb. ~; the
board buying every three months un-
der the law, bought its quarters sup
ply of wet goods. May IA, after two
months and only four days before ad-
yertised bids for the next three
months supply were to be opened,
two members of the board received
official notice of removal for non
compliance with the dispensary law.
At that date the stock was low IN
each of the dispensaries. The inten-
dants of Lake City, Kingstree and
Scranton met and named ]. E. Brun-
son as successor to j. M. Parker, re-
moved, and the county legislative
delegation tied up on DR.. Bass sue
cessor. The senator and one mem
ber being for Jas. A. Green to succeed
him. The other two members OF the
delegation did not acquiesce. The
governor held that the Senator's vote
could not break the tie.
To-day the delegation met again
and after some very broad insinua-
ttons as to the tactics of the first
meeting Representative Cause joined
with the balance of the house delega-
ton in naming D. J. Epps, cotton
buyer of Kingstree, to succeed DR..
Bass.
All the dispensarjes are virtually
depleted of stock. Beer at Lake City
and Scranton is of faint remember
ance now. There is not enough whls-
key of any kind to last two weeks
and it will be at least six weeks before
stock can be renewed, as bids must
be readvertised.
Mr.. Brunson's bond is yet at Kings
tree. 1t must come here, be sent to
Columbia and approved before the
governor issues his commission.
Within two weeks at least two of the
three dispensaries will be running at
dead loss if not closed.

FLAG CAUSED HIS DEATH.
AerOnaut Entangled in its Folds while
Making Parachute Dive.

NEW YORK, May 31.-Entangled
in the folds of a large American flag,
which he waved as he made para
chute dive of 2, 900 feet from a bal
loon at Hillside Park, near Passaic, N.
j., late to-day, Frederick L. Wood,
Jr., 18-year-old aeronaut, Of New
Haven, Conn, fell helpless in the
Passaic River and was drowned. Up
to a late hour tonight the body had
not been recovered.
Wood made his ascension at 5
o'clock this afternoon in the presence
of l 600 persons. AS the balloon rose
Wood unfolded an American flag,
which he waved to the people below.
Near Nutley, the balloon had risen to
q height estimated at 1000 feet, and
Wood decided to descend. Cutting
loose the rope that held the para
chute to the balloon and clutching
the rope of his horizontal bar, Wood
plunged downwards. Slowly the
parachute opened, and then with
moderate speed he continued the
descent. Near the earth, Wood saw
that he would probably land in the
Passaic River, and waving his flag as
q last salute, he prepared for a
plunge into the water. 1t was at
this moment, while the parachute
was only a hundred feet above the
river, that a puff of air caught the
floating flag and wrapped it around
Wood'slegs. The aeronaut struggled
to free himself from it's enveloping
folds, but failed, and with his limbs
still bound by the flag, Wood plung-
ed into the river. He arose to the
surface and cried for help, but before
the spectators could come to his aid
Wood sank and was drowned.
New HAVEN, CONN.,, May 81
Frederick L. Wood, Jr., the aeronaut,
who was killed while giving an ex-
hibition near Passaic, N. j., to-day,
was the son of Frederick L. Wood, Of
817 Chapel street, this city. Wood
was formerly in the United States
marine service and last summer be-
gan making ascensions at Savin Rock,
pleasure resort. He was Fl years
old.

one of David's psalms, 'Thy gentle

ed in the outset that he wished in
simple direct way to show the
young people that greatness is mis-

impress them that true greatness is
goodness. He drew from the pages
of sacred and profane history many
striking examples OF great persons

their lives. Mr.. Traywick's sermon
was especially appropriate, and was
listened to with marked attention by
a large audience.

powerful addresses ever heard here.
The speaker took for his theme,
"What we want" He began by say
