CHARWOMEN complain
OF ADDITIONAL TIME
Required to Work Extra Half
Hour in Cleaning Treas
ury Building.

Some of the charwomen of the Treasury
Department are on the warpath against
what they declare to be extra work with
out extra pay. They assert that in the
past they have been required to work
only two hours each day-from 4:3O to
$50 o'clock. They are now required, they
claim. to put in two hours and a half.
being kept at work until o'clock in the
evening.
Their pay is $40 per month, the amount
fixed by Congress. Many of them are
the widows and daughters of soldiers
compelled to accept this hard work to
make a living.
Insists on Better Work.
Officials of the Treasury we're asked to-
day about the complaints. They stated
that there had been no decrease in the
number of charwOm> in the department
and that the same number of women did
the same work as in the past
The only. difference, it was stated, was
that the building had been poorly eli, aned
in the past, and the Secretary had in
sisted that the work be done better. So
that there might be timc for this work
an extra hall nour was required each day.

the body found in the trunk at the

clared the victim had been placed in the

could judge, Of a man approximately t -ir-

Oil Wagons Not Exempt.

That the Standard Oil Company wagons
will havc-to carry lights is the decision of
the Commissioners today in the matter
of a request from the company that it's
wagons be exempt. The request was in
writing. and is as follows.
Referring to the regulation which you
recently adopted compelling vehicles to
carry lights. we believe this to be a good
protective traffic measure in a general
efnse, but we consider in our case that
the attachment OF lamps to our wagons.
considering their contents, would be a
menace to the vehicle and horses attached
thereto.
'Ali of the city wagons are put away
Tor the night previous to the time which
Your regulations call for, without the
lights attached. But We have wagons that
go into the country which at times do not
return to the stable before o o'clock at
night. and. according to your regulations,
We would be compelled to show lights in
these wagons.
IF there is any way by which the
wagons could be exempt In consideration
. OF the dangers of our applying lamps
thereto. We believe the ben fits derived
therefrom, from the standpoint of public
safety as well as our own would far ex-
coed the protection that the lamps could
otherwise give"
Commissioner Johnston recommended
that the Standard Oil Company be in
formed that there would be no exc ptions
TO the rule, and the other Commissioners
approved.

LATTER MISSING FIVE YEARS

NEW YORK, November 19.-The body
found in the Theoretically sealed trunk
in the cellar OF 40 West 54th street
Thursday was that OF a man and not
of a woman, as had been thought. AS to
who he may have been the police have
found no clue. Nor have detectives at
work on the case succeeded in learning
anything Of the whereabouts Of William
Lewis. the waiter, who. his friend Philip
Meagher, said, was the owner of the
trunk. and who has been missing since
the summer OF 1905.
Almost the entire detective force Of the
city is at work on the case. The police
refuse to give out any information about
the case, or what progress they are max
ing that might lead to a solution OF the
crime.

He was out of work, Measher said, from
January to July, 1906. when he left the
Meagher fiat. where he was a boarder,
saying he was going to Manhattan Beach
to work as a waiter. That was the last
Meas her had seen or heard Of his friend.

very enjoyable occasion in this

daughter, Miss Mabel, are among the
best cooks In the country, and on
this occasion they were surely at
their best. When the guests were
invited into the dining room the

all left for their homes, feeling that
they had been royalty entertained at
this very hospitable home.
The outlook for farming in this
community for the present year is
good. More land has been turned
and more small grain has been sowed
than usual.

Legislature Half Through Work.

Columbia, Jan. 3O.-The legisla-
tive session Of 1910 is half finished.
The hope has been, on the part of
many members, that the work that
was pressing could be accomplished
In thirty days time and an adjourn
ment had at the end Of that time,
and there are still members who
think that the General Assembly
can very well adjourn sine die on the
1 tn or 18th Of February.
There Is no abundant reason why
the law makers could not this year
regain the week that was given by
way of overtime last year on account
OF the liquor tangle, and the election
OF Supreme Court Justice. AS a
matter Of fact, unless there IS some
th)ng to do--an urgent need for
laws caused by changed conditions
or necessity-thc prevailing opinion
Is that the least done the better of
every one Is.

G. G. ARMSTRONG KILLED.
Shot by Book-keeper in Controversy
Over Account.
columbia State, Sunday.)


G. c. Armstrong, a cotton mill op-
erative, who for the past two weeks
had been employed in the CRANKY
Cotton Mill, was shot and Instantly
killed yesterday afternoon by Aaron
Howell, book-keeper at the CRANKY
Mill Co.'s store. The shooting oc-
Cured about 2 o'clock in front Of the
Olympia mill as Armstrong was re-
turning to the store from dinner
Four bullets are said to have been
fired, and evidence Of three were
found in the coat worn by the dead
man, although but one took effect.
This entered the left side between the
second and third ribs, penetrating the
lung, and was found by the physi-
clan who performed the autopsy, in
the right lung cavity. into which it
had fallen after rebounding from the
fourth or fifth rib.
The difficulty apparently grew
from misunderstanding between the
book-keeper and the operative AS to
the settling of an account appearing
on the books Of the company against
Armstrong. Evidently the account
was about to be settled from Arm
strong's pay yesterday, and the
shooting Is the final result Of his OBJ
lection
The dead man was originally from
Piedmont and has a brother now
living at that place His wife and a
child are now at Jacksonville, Fla.

&c. G. Armstrong, who at the time
was not a licensed dentist, but a
travelling painless tooth extractor"
was in Newberry May 30, 1907, and
extracted teeth for Mrs. Corrie
Berry, of the Mollohon Mill village.
He used cocaine to deaden the pain
before extracting the teeth and
shortly after the teeth were drawn
Mrs. Berry died Of heart failure, evil
IDENTIFY caused by the drug Soon af-
ter extracting the teeth Armstrong
left and was later arrested at Clinton
and brought back to Newberry. At
the following term OF the court he
was tried at Newberry for murder.
1T developed at the trial that not
enough cocaine was used to cause
death and he was acquitted. Arm
strong claimed at the time that he
had been working for a prominent
dentist In Anderson"

to lift such coins, and, where accom-
paIied by mail for dispatch, attach
