Tariff Measures Made a Law
by His Signature.
CONGRESS ADJOURNS
Both Houses Quit After Putting Fin
ishing Compromise Touch on the
Tariff Bill and Sending 1t to the
President for His Approval, Which
He Very Promptly Gave.

The tariff has been revised and
the extraordinary session of congress
has been brought to a close. Both
houses adjourned sine die officially
at o'clock Thursday night. The
| actual adjournment was taken In the
house at 5:3S p. m. and in the sem
ate at 5:5S p. m.
The closing hours OF the session
were attended by scenes OF a most
uninteresting character. The revis-
lon had been according to the desires
OF some. and with the hearty ap-
proval of others, and the last two
days had been consumed by MEM
bers OF the senate in expressing their
satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
The conference report on the bill
was agreed to by the senate by a
vote OF Al to 81. The vote was TAX
en- at p. m. and soon afterward
the concurrent resolution making
certain changes in the leather sched-
ule was adopted by both houses.
President Taft arrived at the cap
ftol at 4:45 p. m. 1t was his first
appearance there since his incum-
brency as president and there was a
constant procession of Misunderstanding
statesmen through the presidents
room from the time of his arrival
until his departure at $3.50 O'Clock.
Just as the hands OF the gold
clock in the presidents room reach
ed b minutes past five, the Payne
tarin bill, as the measure will be
known, was laid before the presi-

by Chairman Payne of the house

bending over the president as he
affixed his signature were Secretary
Knox. Secretary MacVeagh. Attorney
General Wickersham Postmaster
General Hitchcock, Secretary Nagel
and Secretary Wilson. Standing
about the table were Senator AL
Nii|h' Representative Payne and
many other members of the senate
and house.
Mr.. Payne stood with hand ex-
tended. waiting to receive the pen
with which the bill was signed. He
took 1t with picture Of boyish glee
overspreading his face. Another pen
was handed to the president and he
wrote the word Approved" and
handed the pen to Representative
Langley (KyO.
number of interesting incidents
occurred in the presidents room
pending the signing of the tariff
Dill. The president had something
or personal nature to say to each
senator, and good nature appeared
to be overlooking.

SCORES WITNESS SUICIDE.
Young Man Wounded In Effort to
Save His Friend.

A hundred passers-by in a bust
ness street at Albany, Ca, a few
days ago saw Homer Santipher, aged
"a. shoot himself In the breast with
a pistol after friend, Walter Kea-
ton, had vainly struggled with the
young man to prevent the act.
Keaton was shot through the left
hand in a desperate effort to defect
a bullet Santipher tried to send into
his own body. Keaton's wound pre-
vented him from saving his friend.
The two men were sitting quietly
together talking when Santipher
suddenly jumped to his feet, cried.
'T believe will kill myself" and
pulled his pistol. The second shot
ne fired struck beneath his heart
and he will die.

as the ransom for the safety OF the

Ing the Pennsylvania Railroad. Fol-
lowing carefully laid plot of the
Federal postal detectives, Eby was
arrested, while in company of Os-
wald j. Derousse, chief clerk to Pres
ident McRae. who acted for the lat
ter in inveigling Mayor Eby to Phil
adelphia. He was given a hearing
before United States Commissioner
Craig and held In $4,000 bail for
September term Of court.
At the hearing VIM. l.. Calvert.
postoffice inspector, of Richmond.
Va, furnished evidence showing that
Eby mailed threatening letters on

All through the hearing Eby sat
unmoved, and said simply that he
could not furnish bail.
In his letter Eby said he would
meet no one except the president or
some high official of the road. He
designated the sign of a secret or

he secured certified check for $40

Drug Stores In Many Towns
Selling Near Beer
IN VIOLATION OF LAW
Wagon Loads of the Stuff Being
Handled by the Drug Stores In
Greenville-The Drink Contains
Three Per Cent Of Alcohol and
IntOxicates.

luUONIC0IeS.
The Columbia Record says they
have found a soothing balm for pro-
hibition pain up In Greenville in
the form OF sort Of near beer
known as Wurtburger Malt, which
is destined to become rapidly pop
ular throughout the State IL its seiz-
ure Is not ordered by the State ad-
ministration.
A Columbian in Greenville a few
days ago saw a two-horse load of
the stun in barrels being unloaded
at the rear Of one OF the Main
street drug stores. and Investigation
disclosed that this supply was ex-
pected to last this particular store
only three days. and that it was be-
ing sold at scores Of places through
out the city at 1 s cents bottle, and
was eagerly sought as a substitute
for beer.
He was informed that the Green
vile sheriff and mayor had agreed
that 1t could be sold as q tonic re-
gardless OF its being used as a bev-
erage. though the dispensers of 1t
were cautioned not to allow It to
be drunk on the premises, and 1t is
not being kept on ice.
The Record further says that
Chairman Murray of the dispensary
commission frankly stated Thurs
day that mis- wholesale drug company
is selling this malt in various parts
OF tine Stdte, but he was not advised
that 1t was being sold as a beverage
or used as such. The Columbia
druggists are not selling 1t, being
ordered last spring to cut it out.
The drink contains three per cent
OF alcohol, and Attorney General Ly
on is under the impression that he
mas rendered an opinion against the
sale OF It under the name It now
bears, but he could not get at his
records handily Thursday morning
to confirm this.
Any way, IL the stuff contains anv
amount OF alcohol. and is being used
as a beverage, whether sold as such
or not. Its sale is in violation of law.
and the venders are liable to the
penalty under the new law provid-
Ing for a fine Of not less than 500
for the first offense, and imprison-
ment without fine for from one to
five years for subsequent violations.
III this is the same near-beer that
Is being sold in Georgia 1t should
be cut out. 1t is as bad or worse
than lager beer, and should not be
allowed to be sold anywhere in the
State. The Governor should have
the matter looked after at once.

CAUSED INDIGNATION.
Citizens OF Mississippi Town Deny
Preachers Story.

Indignation was caused at Ethel,
Miss, few days ago by a dispatch
from Cincinnati quoting the Rev.
Frank B. English as saying that ne
was threatened with mob violence
and driven out OF Ethel without any
thing to eat when he came to take
the presidency OF Rust University at
Holly Springs.
Leading citizens of Ethel admit
that Mr.. English was told to leave
town because he was seen shaking
hands with negroes and acting IA
miliarly towards them, which they
believed would excite the blacks and
stir up race strife.
They say, however, that no mob
was formed and that no threats
were made. They say Mr.. English
became frightened when told that
1t would be better for him to leave.

satiOn in London House.

Frank Jay Mackey. the well
known California millionaire, who
has resided chiefly in England for a
number of years. has been fined $40
and costs in London police court
for riding horse into one of the
hotels, according to a cablegram re-
ceived at new York.
Mr.. Mackey is said to have made
wager that he would ride the
horse into the hotel and around the
billiard table. He did so and was
cited to a policeman and taken to
the police court.
In paying his fine he said he was
satisfied because he had won the
wager.

Buald Up o White Republican
Party In the South and Can Get

The Washington correspondent OF
The News and Courier says appli-
cants for positions as supervisors
of the census in South Carolina
should apply to l.. w. G. Blalock and
J. G. Capers. For some time The
News and Courier correspondent has
! made repeated efforts to ascertain
sawhat line OF policy Director Durand d.
OF thsS census bureau. would follow
with regard to the appointment of
Sesnsus supervisors In the South, es-
pecially In South Carolina. Mr.. Du-
rand has apparently been as much
In the dark as any one else. but grad
uaily little by little his plans are
unfolding.
To members of the South Carolina
delegation in congress, who have
importuned Mr.. Durand for some in
dication as to what he would do,
the latter has been exceedingly stin-
Ky with his information. A few days
ago, however, 1t was learned through
one OF the South Carolina members
that Democrats are to fare very poor
ly when the appointments are made,
II, indeed, any at all are recognized;
that all applications, whether from
Democrats or Republicans, must
have the Blalock- -Capers ok" be-
fore they will be given consideca-
ton; and that lastly, in counties
like Beaufort and Charleston, where
there is a large negro population,
the latter are to be rewarded with
appointment as enumerators in many
OF the sections where the negroes
outnumber the whites.
Representative Patterson, who saw
Director Eurand a few days ago
about the matter, informed the dl
rector that 1t would not do to ap-
point negro enumerators, and he
further informed him that so far as
the white people of Beaufort and
other counties in South Carolina are
concerned, they would not stand for
1t. 1t was then practically decided
that negroes should work only in
negro sections and white men in
white sections. 1t came out in the
interview that Capers and Blalock
would probably advise all appli-
cants before final action.
Mr.. Capers has acted with con-
siderable courtesy to the members OF
tha delegation who have approached
him about the matter, taking into
consideration the fact that he could
hardly be supposed to fall in with
their plans for the appointment OF
Democrats. There Is no fault there
fore with him.
From all over South Carolina ap-
plicants for these places are pouring
in. but no appointments would be
made. this correspondent was in
formed. before October L.

Confiscating Contraband.

They are rubbing it into the blind
tigers In Columbia. Raids at four
places by the police Thursday yielded
several two-horse wagon loads, valu-
ed at $1,000. and a joint raid by
constables and police at seven other
places was productive of about the
same quantity.
