from the closet would appear. Soon
a negro approached whom Mr.. Powell
recognized when he was some dis
tance away. This negro looked over
the building, going to where the closet
had been and to the location Of Dren-
mans booth, where he had worked.
Negro Arrested.
Summoned by Mr.. Powell, J. D..
Broom, special officer, placed the ne
gro under arrest and he was at once
carried before Magistrate Easterling,
who sent him to Jail. The negro told
a story that agrees with what IS
known to be the truth, except he
claims he have been elected "by a big
man" about 4.30 o'clock instead of
730 o'clock.
The negro claimed to be able to

help the exhibits out, as far as pos
sitle.
The two explanations given at the
tair grounds as being possible causes
for the fire are:
Possible Explanations.
l. A negro was seenb Y some of the
show men prowling around with an
oil stove; whether he set the building
deliberately is a question.
2. A monkey escaped from one Of
the shows. In looking for him the
supDosition is that matches were
dropped under the steps of the arena
grand stand, and the building thus
ignited
Some smaller articles were stolen
tonight. This was probably unavoid-
able in the rush. A few of the articles
may later be recovered; IN fact, some
were caught in the act tonight of car
rying away goods. Some show men
held one of the automobiles rescued
from the fire and refused to give it up.
They were persuaded by detectives,
however. It was a spectacular fire.
The flames casting a glow over the
buildings and the tented city at the
fair grounds, lighted up the sky and
from distance it appeared that the
whole fair outfit was enveloped.
Destroyed in Half Hour.
In Columbia the news spread that
the fair buildings were burning, and
the cars to the grounds were crowd
ed to take spectators out. In the half
hour after the building caught it had
burned to the ground. The dramatic
sftuat;-n of main building burning
on the last Of the fair lent interest to
ehe occurrence. AS only the automo-
bile races are scheduled for to1nor-
row, the fair will proceed. The Of
fcers will be on the grounds in the
morning. The most discussed feature
of the burning Of Commercial hall
was the Colonial exhibit Soon after
the fire started both DR.. Babcock and
Capt. Willis we're on the grounds.
Then, the articles belonging to them
had been brought out. They searched
high and low for the two tables, but
without avail.
Secretary's Effective Work.
It was, perhaps, due to Secretary
Cantey, who, this year was assistant
secretary, that the greater part of the
Colonial exhibit was saved. He thought
of this exhibit first and rushed over
to the building. The large Chiypendale
bed was very difficult to remove in
he face of flames, but this was ac-
complished, and the chairs and side
boards were also brought out. 1t is
about two miles to the fair grounds
from uptown, by the car line route.
The wooden building burned tonight
will very probably be replaced by a
brick structure.

Allen Suspected of Burning Fail
Building.

The State, 9Th.
The investigation of the burning OF
Commercial hall Friday evening,
which began actively yesterday morn
ing, resulted in the arrest Of John Al
den, negro, who is detained at the
Richland county jail, pending further
investigation of the conhagratlon. The
Regro under arrest is surrounded by
4 chain of circumstances indicating
that his was the hand responsible Tor
9he destruction Of one Of the principal
Buildings of the State Agricultural and
Mechanical society. Whether the con-
Ragration was Intentional or an &C
cident remains to be seen.
J. W. Pewell of the Powell Supply
company, who, with Mrs. Powell, was
in charge of an annex to the booth OF
the Shandon Methodist church, identl-
fed Allen. In a closet under the steps
of the building the fire was first dis
covered by J. W. Dunn, who found
flames issuing from it when he open
ed the door to investigate.
Seen in Building.
Entering this closet about 7.3O
o'clock Friday evening Mr.. Powell
found neg:), aGC'n he has since
identified as Allen. Mr.. Powell ordered
the negro out and at the suggestion
of Martha Young, a negro woman
with him, he left. He told Mr.. Powell
that he had been working at booth
orerated by Harry brennan and was
storing in the closet bucket filled
with remnants from this booth. He
was carrying a lard bucket.
When the negro had gone, Mr.
Powell had the door to the closet nail
ed up, using for the job 20 penny
nails. Shortly after the door was
nailed up the negro returned and bor-
rowed a hatchet from E. A. Beall, who
was in charge of the booth next to
Mr.. Powell's also for the benefit OF
the Shandon Methodist church. With
this hatchet, witnesses say, he opened
the door and when Mr.. Dunn, on dis
covering the fire, opened the door II
was not nailed up.
It is said that witnesses will testify
to the negro striking a match in the
closet In the ruins of the building
the broken plates and remains of the
:ara hrcket tho negro is supposed tc
have carried into the closet Were
found where the closet had been.

prove an alibi, but negroes will testify
that he was at the fair grounds when
the building was burning. The wo-
man who was with Allen when they
were ordered from the closet at once
recognized Mr.. Powell as the man who
had found them in the closet.

WORK COMMANDS SUCCESS
Authority on Law and Leader in
Banking and Finance.

Charles Courier Dickinson. who in his
short life achieved success as lawyer and
then prominence as a banker and financfer
was born in Schoharie County, n. Y, on
July r. 1870. He was graduated at the
head of his class from the Cobleskill
Academy and won a Cornell University
scholarship. He worked his way through
Cornell and was graduated in June. 1881
having received many college honors in the
course of the four years In the vacations
he read law, in addition to earning
funds for college expenses, and by the time
of his graduation from college had COM
pleted the necessary study for admission TO
the bar.
Soon after leaving college MIR. Dickinson
was appointed a state bank examiner and
was assigned to the task of making COM
plete examination of all the trust companies
of the state, which occupied him for more
than a year. After finishing this work he
secured a leave of absence from the Bank
ing Department and re-entered Cornell,
where after a years study he was gradu-
ated, in 1894 with the degree of LII B.,
ranking first in his class He was admitted
to the bar in May of that year and prac-
tised his profession for about three years.
in which period he wrote several books
which are classed as authorities. among
them Dickinson on Eminent Domain
Oraanizer of Trust Companies.
Mr.. Dickinson organized the Colonial
Trust Company. which is now a branch Of
the Trust Company of America. and was its
vice-president from its opening, in October,
1887, until obliged by Ill health year later
to retire. He organized also the Colonial
Safe Deposit Company. After several
years spent largely in travel in many parts
of the world Mr. Dickinson in 1906 or
ganized the Carnegie Trust Company. of
which he became the first president, and
subsequently, the Carnegie Safe Deposit
Company. In March, 1907, Leslie NJ. Shaw
retired from the office of Secretary OF the
Treasury and elected president of the
Carnegie Trust Company. Mr.. Dickinson be-
coming honorary vice-president- But Mr..
Shaw was supposed to have strong aspira-
tions for the Republican nomination for
President of the United States, and his
activity In that direction was understood to
be the primary cause OF the severance of
his official relations with the Carnegie
Trust Company. in January, 1908 few
weeks later Mr.. Dickinson was again
elected head of the institution. OF which.

he was at all times the controlling spirit.
Mr.. Dickinson was one OF the two recetv
ers appointed for the Oriental Bank in the
spring of 1905. on application of Attorney
General Jackson; but the receivership was
vacated after few weeks. He also figured
in the complications following the receiver

its inventor. He says it is great stuff. The
others upon whom 1t was tried have been
non-committal, but several undertakers are
not enthusiastic as to its beard removing
qualities.
Dr. Bell, the powder and the Razorless
Post Mortem Shave Company have got
into a lawsuit in the Supreme Court
On April 2S Maxwell S. Harris, of the
law firm of Simmons & Harris, caused the
arrest of DR.. Bell and Sterling Person,
another lawyer. in a civil action that he
brought against them to recover 1888 that
he paid for razorless stock. Harris al
legged that the stock sold to him on
Misrepresentation, and he backed up his
allegation with the statements Of several
undertakers that they had tried the prepa-
ration on bodies and that 1t failed to make
good.
The defendants asked Justice Erlanger
yesterday to vacate the order of arrest
under which they are under bail. Justice
Erlanger dismissed their motion. Bell and
Pierson presented in support of their mo-
ton affldavits by Charles A. Renouard,
Constant Goetschel and Felix McKenna,
| undertakers. Harris presented af1idavits by
the same men. The explanation was that
they repudiated the sworn statements they
made for Bell and Pierson. charging that
they had been tampered with and entirely
changed
DR.. Bell said that at one time the plaintiff
was enthusiastic, too. over the invention.
He said that Harris sent Goetschel to New
ark, where there was an undertakers' con-
vention, and that Goetschel demonstrated
so successfully on a dead man before the
embalmers that they at once gave him or
ders for the powder aggregating $40. DR..
Bell told of. other successful tests at the

LIQUOR WAR DECLARED
Wholesalers Adopt a Campaign
of Aggressiveness.

Cincinnati, May A.-An aggressive cam
paign against sumptuary laws was planned
by the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association al a conference of state presi-
dents of the organization here tonight
Speakers urged that the association had
remained too long on the defensive. and
that firm stand should be taken for the
enactment and enforcement of regulatory
statutes to eliminate disreputable saloons.
"Whiskey has no friends in public. no
eremies in private" said Emil Nathan, of
ST. Louis He added: mo greater harm
can be done to society than by the nom
enforcement of any law on the statute
books To educate the people to the
scope and danger of impending fanatical
legislation, this organization must call to
its aid openly and without fear, the best
elements of our mercantile, commercial and
professional pulsation-"

Saloon League by Henry c. Maine, of
Rochester.
