The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1909-05-05

Our girls and teachers were calmest
of all.
"Mr. Trowbridge returned from the
school to say that the only hope for
safety to any American seemed to be
to return to the school. staying there
alone, separated from the Armenians.
He declared that we were powerless
To save the Armenians."
Miss Webb relates how Mr.. Trow-
bridge persuaded four Zebetis to go
with him TO the government house to
demand protection. Two of them de-
serted him on the way. declaring that
they were afraid of being killed by
Armenians"
In concluding her narrative, Miss
Webb says:
''The British consul sent q message
to the governor Friday that IL this
thing was not stopped he would de-
mand of the government and the COM
mander of the troops satisfactory ex-
planation. Whether or not they were
powerless to stop the dreadful work
before this / do not know, but anyway
then 1t was stopped. We hear that
because Of the disturbance in Con-
stantinople the authorities In Adana
did not know which side to join, so
they simply let things take their
course and permitted the Turks and
ATnenians to fight 1t out betweeen
them"

Great Hoaxes Of History
Speaking Explorer Cook the Moon Story Once Had the
World All Agog.

One OF the nineteenth century's
greatest hoaxes was a discovery
that the man in the moon, animals
aud other forms of life were seen with
a powerful telescope.
Richard Locke. New York news
paper faker, In 1885 wrote an account
of how Sir John Herschel, the great
British scientist and astronomer. had
invented an apparatus by which the
magnifyng power of a telescope could
be sufficiently increased 10 detect OBJ
jects in the moon.
sir John had been sent to the Cape
of Good Hope at the expense OF the
English. French and Austrian govern
ments 10 make Astronomical observa-
tions, and the fact that he was there
was generally known when the New
York Sun printed what purported TO
be genuine news story OF his wonder
full achievement.
On the night OF Jan 10. 1885. the
story ran. the telescope with its mag
nifying appliance was ready 20 be en-
ployed upon tho moon. The first thing
observed were rocks covered with pop
pies, then fields OF grain. trees and
rivers, amethyst mountains and YER
dani valleys next appeared, while
strange animals. like bisons. unicorn
goats. sheep and curious birds were
described with a wealth OF detail.
The man in the moon was described
! as stronger and hairier than an on
lrang-outang.
Many newspapers fell into the trap.

story displayed the most extensive
and accurate knowledge OF astron.

TAFT WANTS TO GIVE

Fears Business Will Be Affected Ad-
Versely II Antitrust Law
is Upheld.

W ANU TuSI Law
is Upheld.
WASHINGTON. Dec 27.-The al.
visibility Of enacting a federal incor-
poration act in advance OF a final
judicial decision in the Standard Oil
dissolution case is being seriously con-
sidered by President Taft and leaders
in congress. including Senator Aldrich
and Speaker Cannon.
There appears to be an important
difference OF opinion between Mr.. Taft
and his advisers, who want him to
withhold the message which he has
/ announced he will send TO congress.
IL is understood that Mr. Taft fears
that business generally will suffer IL
the supreme court affirms the finding
of the circuit court in the dissolution
case and that he strongly favors what
might be termed vaccination" of the
body corporate by the administration
of legislative remedy before the evil
appears.
On the other hand congressional
leaders fear such course would
merely supply ammunition TO the OPP
pOnents Of the administration by Civ
ing them an excuse 10 charge that the
force OF the Taft regime is being d.
rected toward creating shelter for
mOnopolies
II the president should submit his
recommendation soon after congress
-e-convenes and should follow what
Is said to be his present inclination
he would ask for the passage OF a
federal corporation law without de-
lay. on the ground that honest busi-
ness is menaced under the interpre-
tation OF the Sherman antitrust act
given by the circuit court decision in
tho Standard Oil case. While the
presidents view is shared by the lead
ers named they recognize the fact
that there will be serious opposition
TO any legislation apparently calculat-
ed 10 narrow the scope OF the Sher-
man law They believe that this op-
position is SO strong that there would
be q protracted contest over such a
measure and that II would be the part
~ wisdom. therefore, TO await the de-
ciSion OF tho supreme court.
