CHRISTENSEN URGES ACTION.
Senator From Beaufort Wants an Ex-
ira Session Immediately.


Senator Neils Christensen, than
whom no man in the state has done
more to expose the rottenness Of the
state dispensary management, has CIV
en- out the following interview on the
present situation:
The issues involved in the contest
now on between Judge Pritchard and
the state of South Carolina are two
parts local and one part national. II
he Is upheld by the supreme court at
washington, South Carolina will lose
from $4,000 to 100000 in costs Of a
receivership and her investigation Of
the dispensary grafters through her
own 'winding-up commission will be
thwarted. But the large effect of such
a result will be a curtailment Of the
rights and powers of the state a phase
of the situation that is Of vital nation
al interest.
1T has been suggested that by sub
mitting to Judge Pritchard and accept
ing his appointment the winding up
commission could have carried on the
same work II is now doing and avoid
q contest with its incident delay; that,
barring the swallowing of state pride,
the desired result could be obtained
under Federal Jurisdiction. Such is
not the case. In the first place, the
expense of Federal jurisdiction would
be many times that provided by the
state. But more important than the
money involved Is the consideration
that the masters appointed by the
Federal court would not be charged
with the duty Of investigation that has
been placed on the 'winding-up COM
mission by the legislature That Is the
cruX Of the whole situation.
The appeal to the Federal court was
made by Fleischmann & Co., Of Gin
cinnati. When Mr.. Lyon and myself,
then members of legislative investi
eating committee, went to Mr.. Julius
Fleischmann in Cincinnati and urged
him to make full statement Of the
transactions Of his firm with the South
Carolina dispensary he refused. He
said that he would rather lose the ac-
count (over $50,000) than submit to
an investigation. Others have since
taken the same position with the
winding-up commission which has
taken the place of the legislative in
vestigating commission.
THE legislature of South Carolina
can make the outcome before the Uni
ted States supreme court certain by
legislation that will further define the
status of the 'winding-up commission
and the fund 1t is administering. The
attorney general urges that an extra
session be called to consider the mat
ter. The governor has the matter un-
der advisement. He will assume a
very grave responsibility by refusing.
as on him would then be placed the
blame, should the issue go against the
state. II the extra session be called
the legislation would certainly be en-
acted. South Cardinals representa-
tives must today, as they have always
done in the past, stand unfiinchingly
would bow the knee to such usurpa-
ton as is here proposed, would be
overwhelmed at the polls in the prl-
maries next August"

SOME days ago the Columbia State
said:
why was Berry B. Mobley shot tc
death on a train in Lancaster county
by Grover Welsh? There was no per-
Sonal conflict; no sudden heat and pas
sion. Mobley was going to consult his
attorneys who were to defend him fol
the staying of a brother of Welsh's
The living Welsh, conversant with the
general criminal history Of South Car
olina, and the local history of Lancas-
ter county. had no reason to believe
that Mobley would be punished. And
he had reason to believe that if he as
sumed the role Of avenger he would moi
be punished by the law. So the failure
Of the law melted Welsh to slay his
brothers slayer: the failure of the law
encouraged him To do so without feal
of man inflicted punishment. The only
escape from feud and anarchy Is
through the enforcement of the law
Judges cannot too frequently hammer
that into the juries."

THE principal annoyance that The
Enquirer feels because of the dispen-
sary complications between the state
and Federal courts, is that the state
will be hampered in its efforts to pun
ish the grafters. The grafters will get
the benefit of the delay and also OF
much of the feeling that has been and
will be occasioned by the conflict OF
jurisdiction. In our view the question
as to what comes of that $S00,00O
whether it goes to the state, the re-
ceivers or the whisky house claim
ants, is a small matter as compared
with the Importance of Furnishing the
people who have brought all this
shame on the state.

COAL FIRE DOES
GREAT DAMAGE

Six streams of water have been
pouring on the coal in shed No. 3 at
the Naval Station since Wednesday
night at o'clock. The fire which had
been burning then for two days sud-
denly broke out in flame and seemed
to spread to all parts of the shed.
-Four of the streams were from two
fire engines stationed on one of the
naval wharves and pumping the water
out of the slip, and the other two
were from the naval water boat. which
is equipped with pumps and supplied
with hose. This is said to be the first
opportunity these pumps have had to
do service of this kind at this station
Inc Iroquois is due this morning.
She is equipped with pumps more pow
eHul even than those of the fire en-
gines. If there is still need of il. she
VIII be put to work pouring water on
the piles of coal within which the fire
is burning.
The fire is as yet confined to shed
No 3. In this there is stored about
l2,OC0 tons of coal. The fire M to
wednesday night seemed to be chiefly
in the Waikiki end Of the shed. But
wednesday night and yesterday IL
seemed to be in several places in the
shed, and the shed floor was burned
through in several places. For a time
theie was blaze visible, but the
stleams of water quickly checked this.
AT times there were great volumes OF
smoke
admiral Very had thirty-fve carts
at work removing the coal yesterday.
He is storing it on a vacant lot not
great way from the Judiciary build
ing. He expects to remove the en-
tire contents of shed No. g He will
give no estimate as to the amount OF
coal burned or destroyed, but il is
PROBABLE that it will not be a great
deal. Perhaps a couple of hundred
tons may be burned or ruined by the
neat and fire. The waste from the
deiuge OF water poured on it and from
the necessity of moving so large a
quantity may also be a few tons. The
damage to the sheds will be some
tnlng' but how much can not now be
estimated
The fire attracted a good deal Of
attention, and many people went down
to see it. On account of the neces-
sity OF carrying the hose across the
street from the naval slip to the coal
shed, the street cars ran only as far
as the main entrance on the Ala Mo-
ana side of the Naval Station.

JAPANESE FEEL
STEVENS DEATH

The death of D. W. Stevens, who was
for so long in the service of the Japa-
nese Foreign Office, and whose services
not only to Japan but to America and
to other countries with which Japan
had diplomatic relations. were so valu-
able, is keenly felt among the Japa-
nese.
Yesterday the following cablegram
was sent through Consul General Mkt
SaitO, expressing the sentiments of the
Japanese Fire Claims Committee:
japanese Embassy, Washington, D. c..
please forward the following mes
sage to the relations of the late Hon.
D. W. Stevens:

Plague Fire Claims at Honolulu ex-
press their deepest grief and profound
sorrow for the death of Hon. d. w.
Stevens, at the hands of assassins at
San Francisco. S. Ozaki, President.
'fSAITO."
Mr.. Stevens was in Honolulu for sew
eral weeks looking into the matter of
the japanese Fire Claims growing out
of the burning of buildings by order of
the Board of Health to check the
plague in 1899 and 1900. In this way
he became personally acquainted with
very many of the Japanese and other
residents of Honolulu.
Consul General Saito was yesterday
the recipient of calls of coincidence
from Mr.. F. A. Schaefer. consul for
Italy and dean of the consular corps,
and from Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, as well
as from very many Japanese residents.
He also received yesterday the fol-
lowing letter from Secretary Mott
Smith on behalf of Governor Frear,
written before it was known that Mr..
Stevens wounds would prove fatal:
Executive Building, Secretary of Ha-
wall.
Honolulu, March "a, 1908.
Honorable Mkt Saito, H. 1. ]. Ms
Consul General Honolulu.
"Sir: 1 have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your communica-
ton of this date conveying the in
formation of the attack upon the life
of Mr.. Stevens in San Francisco.
Permit me to express to you my

His Excellency, called forth by the at
tempted assassination, and the hope
for the speedy recovery of Mr.. Stevens
from wounds received.

organized what is known as the
Missouri Slope Land Company and
purchased 81, 900 acres or practi-
cally the entire Golden Valley-or
the best part of it. They brought
in the first settlers, but the work
was hard and the majority of those
that came with a view of buying or
taking a homestead went back
without doing either; those that
grasped the opportunity then and
bought land are now our most

To take up the first settlement Of

a few years. Along in the spring
of 1901 Harry Hunter, the present
owner of the Beach townsite, came
to Sentinel Butte looking for land
investments. He was driven out to
the large butte south of that town,
named after it, which is the high

it to view the country. As soon
as he saw the beautiful valley lay

then and there to purchase and
