he had voted consistently for the

SHOT FULL OF LEAD
BY HIS COMRADES WHO DID NOT

With His Body Literally Shot 10
Pieces, Private Hetherton Lived
For Two Days.
For Two Days.

A dispatch from Monterey, CAL,
relates a singular occurrence by
which a soldier lost his life. His
body an unseen target to the rain of
bullets of a firing squad at rifle
practice. Claude Hetherton, pri
vate Of Company K, Thirteenth IN
fantry, stationed at the Phesidio,
who was taking measurements OF the
range, was literally shot to pieces
and died after lingering in the ressr-
vation hospital for two days.
The accident occurred last week.
but the facts have just come 70 ligh:.
An investigation of the affi tit de-
layed the funeral until Sunday.
All during the afternoon of the day
he was shot, Hetherton crept about
on the embankment, pepered with
lead, while the bullets wh!zZed about
him. His cries could not be he& /.
After the first bullet had brought
him down he made an effort 20 draG
himself out of range, but no matter
which way he turned, his escape
was cut off by the flying missiles.
Finally he sank on the sand mound
awaiting the sho' that would end
his torture. Bullets sped about him,
ripping his clothes and tearing his
flesh. When markers found him.
his head had been shot almost of.
Hetherton was married.

is satisfied with the propriety, with
the decency of furnishing the names
OF myself and my colleagues to the
gentleman from Minnesota in his
sncering attack upon what he calls
the hospitality of the South. that IS
a matter for him. But the president
has violated both the rules of hos
pitality and Of decent conduct.
IF gentleman is the guest OF the
president must that fact be reflected
in his vote hereupon an approprla-
ton?" inquired Mr.. Hardwick, or
Georgia.
Mr.. Garrett, of Tennessee, sug-
gested that objection to the appro-
priation was that the money had
been used by the president to pay his
expenses "in making partisan and
political speeches"

OPENING INDIAN GRAVES.
Mounds Found Containing Hundreds
of Skeletons.

DR.. ]. W. McNeill and Prof. Cbas.
Peabody of Harvard University, who
are interested in archaeological dis
coveries in Cumberland county, N. c.,
passed through Hope Mills on their
way to the Davis Bridge, about six
miles from Hope Mills, to engage in
excavating the large Indian mound
near that point. Six or seven men
were secured to do the work of
excavation and as the mound is
80 feet wide and nearly as long and
many feet Deep it will take several
days to reach all parts of it..
A number of skulls and bones
have been uncovered, and it is es-
timated that fully one hundred and
fifty Indians were buried here long
before the advent of the white man.
A pipe made of substance that
looks like soapstone, and well-de-
fined tomahawk were also found.
There are number of Indian
mounds in this county, and most of
them are familiar to DR.. Mcneil, who
has been investigating the mounds
for several years.
In one grave, DR.. Mcneil found
where more than one hundred In
dians had been buried, evidently the
victims of a sanguinary battle. One
of the skulls still had a tomahawk
sticking in it, while there were arrow
heads in a number of the skeletons,
showing that they had been thrown
into the grave as they fell on the
battlefield with the weapons that
caused their death remaining in their
bodies.

CONFESS SECOND MURDER.
Thinking His Petition for Pardon
Had Been Denied.

Believing that his application for
a pardon had been denied when it
had been continued for further in
vestigation, Noises Freyas, a Mexi-
can serving a life sentence for muir
der in the state penitentiary at Can
on City, CAL, has sworn to an atfi-
davit declaring he committed anoth-
err murder for which Juan Duran,
fellow Mexican is serving a sentence.
The two murders which were
committed in the vicinity Of Trinidad
ten years ago, were closely connect
ed. Not until he had signed his con-
fession to the second murder did
Freyas know that his application for
pardon had been received with
enough favor to warrant the board
of pardons in making a careful in
vestigation in his case The inves-
tigation will now be transferred to
the Duran's case.

LIST OF MEN WHO W2oue. Aus> =
TO VOTE FOR LORIMEh.
They Got Various Sums for Selling
Their Votes to the Corrupt Crowd

Senator Hoistlaw's confession, re-
sulting in the indictment of Senator
Broderick, of Chicago, is the fourth
confession obtained since the expos
ure of the alleged Lorimer bribery
scandal on April 80 last.
The first confession was made by
Representative Charles A. White, Of
O'Fallon, ILL.,, who declared he has
received $1,000 from Lee O'Neli
Browne for his vote for Lorimer and
$500 as his share of the Legislative
Jackpot"
Although stigmatized as a black
mailer by the men whom he involv-
ed, Whites confession resulted in
grand jury investigations in Cook
and Sangamon counties. In the Cook
County grand jury room on May 5
Whites confession was substantiated
by Representative H. j. c. Beckmey-
er, of Carlisle, Ill. This second con-
fession resulted in three indictments
in connection with the Lorimer case.
These were: Lee O'Neil Browne, the
leader of the Democrats in the Leg
islature, on charge of bribery.
Representative Robert E. Wilson,
Democrat, on a perjury charge.
Representative Michael S. Link,
Democrat. charged with perjury.
Following an offer of immunity,
Link made the third confession and
the Indictment standing against him
was nollied.
Browne and Wilson were arrested
and gave bond in the sum OF $4,000
and $4,000 respectively.
The confession OF Holstlaw created
the greatest sensation of the Sena-
torial bribery scandal, as he until
Saturday had not figured in the
Lorimer case.
News of Senator Broderick's in
dictment and search for him by the
police caused a commotion in politi-
cal circles. Senator Broderick could
not be found at his place of business
or his residence up to late hour
Saturday night. Members Of his fam
lily were plainly worried as they had
expected him home to dinner. Sey-
eral detectives have been detailed to
search for him.

TAFT TAKES A HAND
PRESIDENT WRITES A LETTER
TO CHAIRMAN TAWNEY.
He Is Deeply Distressed at the Re-
Election on Southern Hospitality,
Which He Highly Praises.


Which He Highly Praises.
President Taft Friday sent to
Chairman Tawney Of the house COM
mittee on appropriations a letter
expressing deep resentment at the
criticisms in the house in the de-
bate on the travelling expenses of
the president. The president says he
is especially distressed by the "sug-
gested reflection on Sunthern hospi-
tality."
The presidents letter follows:
The White House, Washington, May
9th, 1910.
My Dear Mr.. Tawney: I am deeply
grieved over the phase which the dis
cussion of the appropriation for the
travelling expenses of the president
took yesterday. think it is legiti-
mate argument in favor of such an
appropriation that congressman and
many others press the acceptance of
invitations to visit their sections and
districts, because the urgency Of such
requests indicates the opinion on the
part Of the people that one of the
duties of the president is to visit
the people in their homes.
But the intimation or suggestion
that the acceptance by congressman
of the presidents invitation to trav-
ell on the train with him in their re-
spective districts or States was a
reason why they should not voice
their free opinion on the question of
such an appropriation is to me a
most painful one.
In travelling upon the train they
were not receiving my hospitality
they were only making a little more
elaborate the cordial welcome which
they as representatives of their dis
tricts wished to give.
The feature of the discussion yes
terday which was especially distress
ing to me was a suggested reflection
on Southern hospitality. The intim-
alton that somewhere in the South
board was charged has no founda-
ton, in fact, and l never heard it
intimated until I saw it in this morn
ing's paper.
In all my experience, and I have
enjoyed the hospitality Of many sec
tions and countries of the world,
never had more cordial, generous,
open and lavish welcome than had
in the Southern States during my
trip, and the slightest hints that
puts me in the attitude of a critic
of that hospitality gives me great
pain.
I am going to take the liberty of
making this letter to you public.
Very sincerely yours.
(Siened) William H. Taft.

Glenn II. Curtiss flew from Al

plane Sunday winning the $4,000
prize offered by the New York World.
He covered the distance of 1877 miles
in two hours and thirty minutes. and
came to earth as calmly and as light
as a pigeon. His average speed for
the distance. $40 miles an hour, sur
passes any record ever made by an
