DELEGATE TO a. r.. p. SYNOD
Kew K. c. Reed, OF Columbia, Ex-
tends Fraternal Greetings from
Presbyterian Church 10 Seceders

Columbia, Nov. 4.-Rev r. c. Reed
OF Columbia has been selected as the
delegate OF the Presbyterian General
Assembly Of the South to bear fra
ternal greetings TO the synod of the
Associated Reformed PRESBYTERIAN
church, which will be held In Char
lotte neXt week. This is the first
time in the history of the Seceder
church that representative has been
officially delegated to bear fraternal
greetings to it's leading council from
the main body Of the PRESBYTERIAN
faith. and this fact is believed to
pressage closer relations of these two
branches of the faith-if not at once.
then III the next several years. The
selection OF DR.. Reed for this import
ant mission is most happy one.
1t Is hardly probable, however. that
the two branches of the faith will be
reunited though the two churches
have been on most friendly terms
Vet been able TO lay aside their
unique individuality, even 10 uniting
with the United Presbyterian church
Of the North, whose form of worship
is identical with theirs. The chief
difference between the two churches
IN the South IS the resolution of the
Seceders TO bar human compositions
from their worship.
The visit OF Dr. Reed TO the synod
in Charlotte viii be, if nothing else,
another step toward bringing the
Protestant churches closer together
in that work which each denomina-
uon Is doing In common with the
others. Mr.. Reeds presence will
add to the interest taken in the synod
by the general public and will
probably inauSurate a custom that
VIII. in time, lee adopted 10y other

greater than those of the Preehv-

RIOT IN CHICAGO.
GARMENT WORKERS STRIKE
RAISES GRIM SPECTRES.
foiice Charge Large MOb-Plough
Through Crowd of Several Thous-
and Rioters-Many Injured. More
Serious Trouble Feared.

Chicago, Nov. Grim spectres
or the days of the Haymarket riot
haunted Chicago's streets for a brief
time late this afternoon when Inspec-
tor S. K. Healy and squad of 60 DO
hcemen with drawn revoIvers.
charged several thousand striking
garment workers who were rioting
on the West Side. One policeman was
stabbed, 15 rioters were seriously in
jured and 25 strikers and sympathi-
zers were arrested during the brisk
fight which threatened to get beyond
police control.
This the most serious outbreak
that has occurred since the inception
OF the strike of garment workers oc-
CURED at the plant of A. Lot & Co..
at West Ohio and Bickerdike streets.
Before the police arrived the strikers
had broken all the windows in the
large building occupied by the cloth
ing manufacturers, had driven strike
breakers out and carried a large
number of sewing machines into the
streets where the machines were de-
stroyed.
The strikers and their followers
put up a desperate fight for a time
Many Of their number were
knocked down by the clubbing OF
the police and not few were tram
pied on in the fighting which follow
ed. Bleeding heads and faces were
numerous and a number of persons
suffered more serious injuries.
When pickets gained entrance to
the tailoring establishment as the
mob Of strikers approached the build
ing. some of the employees Of the
company Joined the strikers and are
said to have assisted in the work of
destruction. Men and women were
hurting bricks and stones through
the windows of the plant when In
spector Healy and his squad Of re-
serves arrived. -
The inspector experienced difficulty
in getting together the dsorganized
force of policemen which had borne
the brunt Of the early fighting.
When he had done so, however.
the policemen charged through the
centre of the mob, knocking down
all In their way.
AS a result Of today's DEVELOPMENTS
In the strike situation, Chief Of Po-
lice Steward tonight odered a confer
ence of his inspectors and issued a
special set Of emergency orders 70
inspectors, captains and lieutenants
In the various police districts where
the riots have occurred. The attitude
Of the police indicates that much
more serious trouble is expected
within the next "a hours. All pre-
parations are being made for hastily
calling in reserves from outlying sta
tions and mobolizing a strong force.
Strikers tonight held dozen
largely attended meetings and agita-
tors were active In urging the strik-
ers to further disorder. Meanwhile
various clubwomen who have inter-
ested themselves in the cause of the
grl garment workers were urging
their followers to refrain from any
action which might injure their
cause or their opportunity for secur-
ing favorable settlement of the
strike.

GRABFELDER STOPS SUIT.
fracucaily Admits Paying Graft I'm
This state-And Compromises The
Case.

Columbia, Nov 2.-Practically aj-
mitting that they had overcharged
the State to the extent of thousands
OF dollars. Grabfelder & Co., a LIQUOR
house Of Louisville, has abandoned
Its injunction proceedings and will
pay the sum Of $4,000 to the dis
pensary commission. The COM
pany was seeking to enjoin the COM
mission from further holding up the
sum Of $4,000 due from the several
couiity dispensaries to the liauor
house.
This case involved the constitutions
ality Of the act of 1910 which pre-
vided that funds, owing sundry liquor
houses by county dispensaries should
be first applied on the payment Of
claims in favor Of the State fund found
by the commission to be due. The aban-
donment Of the litigation by Grao-
fielder & Co. and settlement in ac-
cordance with the views of the COM
m ssion wcald seem to indicate that
the attorneys for Grabfelder regard
the act as valid though this question
is yet to be determined by the su-
preme court in another case. The
conclusion Of this case leaves little to
be collected under the provisions OF
the act Of 1910 except the Carolina
Glass company matter in which is in
volved several thousand dollars.
