Charleston, s. C.4The unofficial re-
turns from the elections held in 81
of the so-caIled wet counties Of
South Carolina for the purpose OF al
lowing the voters of each county to
choose between prohibition and the
county dispensary system indicated
that the prohibitionists have won
victories in fifteen of these counties.
Complete returns from some pre-
cincts not reported may change the
result in two or three counties, but
the probabilities are that prohibition
has carried in Abbeville, Bamberg,
Barnwell, Berkeley, Calhoun, Cole
ton, Dorchester, Fairfield, Hampton,
Kershaw, Lee, Lexington, Orange
burg, Sumter and Williamsburg coun-
ties. The dispensary has won in
Aiken, Charleston and Richland coun-

The largest majority for the dis

where it received 1925 votes against
305 for prohibition.
The election was on the question

BLOODY TRAIL LEFT
State Troopers and Strikers
Clash in Pennsylvania.
FIVE MEN WERE KILLED

Wild Riottng at the Plant of the
Pressed steel Car Company at
SchoenvilIe Results in Many FataIi-
ties-Women Took Part.
Pittsburg, Pa.-One state trooper
and one deputy sheriff and three for
eigners were shot and killed in wild
riot at the Pressed Steel Car plant in
Schoenville, whose employees are now
on strike.
At least a score of persons were
seriously wounded, ten fatally.
The rioting followed day OF quiet
and broke out without warning.
The riot scene was practically inde-
scribable.. Mounted state troopers gal
loped indiscriminately through the
streets with riot maces drawn, crack
ing the heads of ali persons lettering
in the vicinity of the mill. Deputy
sheriffs and troopers broke in the
doors of houses suspected of being the
retreat of strikers, and wholesale ar
rests were made.
From $50 to 1880, scores of per-
sons were arrested and placed in box
car jails in the mill yard.
During the early stages of the riot
ing women were conspicuous. Some
of them were armed, others effectively
used clubs and stones. These women
all foreigners, insane with rage, were
mainly responsible for melting the
men to extreme measures.

A combined landing party, COM

sent ashore before sunrise, and the
task of removing the Hellenic en-
blem was carried out in a few min
utes, without any attempt at inter
ference on the part of the islanders.
The action means that the protect

SUTTON TO BLAME.
Responsible For His Own Death De-
cIares Naval Court of Inquiry.


cIares Naval Court of Inquiry.
Washington-'Li Lieutenant Sutton is
directly and solely responsible for his
own death, which was self-infiicted,
either intentional or in an effort to
shoot one of the persons restraining
him, and his death was not caused by
any other inquiry whatever"
This is the verdict of the naval
court of inquiry, which for some
weeks has had under investigation the
cause of the death at Annapolis Naval
academy in October, 1907, Of Second
Lieutenant James N. Sutton, of the
United States marine corps, which
verdict has been approved by the
Judge advocate general of the navy,
and by Beekman Winthrop, assistant
and acting secretary of the navy.
The case of Sutton has created wide
spread interest throughout the coun-
try and has been long and sensa-
tional one in the naval court OF In
quiry.
The court finds that the charges OF
wilful murder and conspiracy to con-
ceal it, made by the complainant, Mrs.
Sutton, mother of Lieutenant Sutton,
are purely imaginary and unsupported
by even a shadow of evidence, truth
or reason.

Fatal Accident Marked the Big Race
Event at indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Ind.-Two lives were
lost and two records broken during
the Inauguration of the Indianapolis
motor speedway. William A. Bourque,
driver of the Knox car in the 250-mile
race, and Harry Holcomb, his me-
chanician, were killed in the frenzied
carnival Of speed
Barney Oldfeld, driving high
powered Benz, covered mile in 0: 43
1-10, breaking De Palma's mark OF
O:51, and Louis Chevrolet, in a Buick,
negotiated 10 miles in the marvellous
time of $3.50 4-10, cutting Oidfield's
time of 9:12. Both of these are new
American track marks.
1t seems that the accident in which
the two racers met their death was
caused by Bourque, who was driving,
losing control of the wheel, the car
crashing with awful force into fence
along the speedway.

Atlanta.-The trial of Donald Balm,

CHARGES OF PERJURY.
Sensational Trial Stlrs Walton County
From End to End.

Monroe, Ga.-Walton county is in
the throes of one of the most sensa-
tional affairs in it's history, promi-
nent citizens being charged with per-
jury in the trial, one year ago, of Olin
Thomasson for the killing of ]. H.
Bowen.
The defendant was acquitted, but
out of the acquittal now comes the
arrest of three men for false swear
ing and the confession and conviction
of two of them, together with the
action of the grand jury of the county
in charging the acquitted man and
many of his l1insmen with the crime
of bribing these men to free him by
perjury.
This aftermath to sensational trial
has stirred the county from border to
border
The killing of Bowen, successful
business man, occurred in July, 1909,
his warm personal friend, Olin Thorn
asson, being charged with the crime.
