GAVE TOWN CLOSE CALL
Horses Pull a Wagon Over Forty
Cases Of Dynamite.

The two thousand inhabitants Of
the little village of Roselle Park,
N. j., have good cause for celebra.-
ebrating Thanksgiving Day this
year. That the inhabitants are
all alive Saturday is little short Of
a miracle in the opinion Of most of,
them. A junk mans horse which
ran away On Main street Friday
ni?ht plunged through the fence en-
closing 4 freight yard and pulled his
heavy wagon right over forty cases
of dynamite which were being un-
loaded by a contracting firm. The,
explosion OF the stuff would have
blown the town to pieces. The,
wheels Of the wagon struck the
boxes and knocked several Of them
into splinters scattering the contents
about. Men who saw what way;
the runa way was headed scampered.

DISAGREE ON CORN CROP.
Federal Estimate Gives Less Than
Estimate Of State.

The United State Department OF
Agriculture and Commissioners Wat
son have disagreed as to the corn
crop OF South Carolina, or at least
their statistics have.
A recent estimate Of the national
departmlnt of agriculture places the
corn crop CT sopth Carolina at a.
$4,000 bushels.
The estimate of. Commissioner
Watson places the crop at 49,740,-
600 bushels.
The difference in estimates is liza
BILE to cause considerable correspon-
dence. On two previous occasions
Mr.. Watson has challenged the iis-
ures of the national department OF
agriculture as to the corn crop OF
this State. 1t is the intention OF
the commissioner of this State to
challenge the crude" manner that
has been adopted by the national de-
partment in collecting its statistics
for his State on agriculture.
A statement recently issued by Dr..
Seaman A. Knapp Of the farm de-
monstration work, gives statistics
as to the corn crop for all of the
States OF the South and shows that
within one years time the corn pro-
duction of the nine Southern States
has been increased by 15S.294,00O
bushels. The increase has been
brought about as a result Of the
farm demonstration work.
The average yield in South Car.
olina, according to the bulletin
was 1S.5 bushels, as compared with
.16.7 bushels for last year. The
average for ten years in South Car
Olina was 6.

OFFERED 100000
TO VOTE AGAINST .ANTI-RACE
TRACK BETTING BILLS.
Startling Statement Made BY New
York State Senator Before Legls-
latiye Graft Committee.

One hundred thousand dollars to
vote against the anti-race track bet
ting bills, in 1908. was offered to
State Senator Eugene NJ. Travis, OF
Brooklyn, so he swore- on the stand
Friday, testifying before the le2isla-
tive graft committee. A mysterious
little man, whose name he does not
recall, made the offer in the lobby
of the Senate, he said, in behalf OF
former Senator Frank ]. Gardner.
And Gardner, he added, confirmed il
in subsequent telephone cenversa-
tion.
Gardner is now under indictment,
charged with having attempted SINH
larly, though with lesser amount,
to influence Otto G. Foelker, nf
Brooklyn, now a Congressman, but
then a State Senator. FoeIker vot-
ed for the bill, as did Travis, and it
was passed, Notwithstanding the
frantic efforts of the race track in
terests and the alleged use OF fund,
which previous testimony has placed
at 100000.
Travis testimony and the commit
tees efforts to subpoena James R..
Keene and Harry Payne Whitney,
millionaires whose hobby is horse
racing, were the most interesting de-
velopm ents Of Fridays hearing, re-
sumed after an adjournment on Oc-
tober %. Efforts to find Messrs
Keen and Whitney, who have been
mentioned in previous testimony as
having been present at a conference
at Delm monilco's at which the alleged
corruption fund was raised, and the
committee is anxious to examine
them, have thus far been witho 1T
success.
Travis's story Friday added two
new names to the list Of Senator'S
approached" The amount offered
him, he explained, was to be paid In
two installments, $4,000 down and
$4,000 after his vote had been cast.

Senator being approacLed?" he was
asked.

POLICE BAFfLED
CORPSE SEALED IN TRUNK FOR
OVER EIGHT YEARS.
The Victim is Probably Woman,
On Account of the Smallncss Of

Pending an inquest planned for
Friday on the body which was found
in an hermetically sealed trunk in
the cellar of West Thirty-fourth
street apartment house, the authori-
ties were not inclined to theorize
on who the victim of the mysterious
murder might be.
Even the sex Of the victim was
not known, the five or more years
during which the body is known to
have reposed in its hiding place, haV-
ing reduced it to skeleton almost
bare of flesh. From outward indl-
cations, however, the authorities are
of the belief that the body is that
of a woman, the smallness of tine
bones chiefly leading them to that
conclusion.
The body-discovered by Philip
Meagher, when he was preparing to
move after eight years residence
in the house and opened the neg
lected trunk-was taken to the
morgue Friday. 1t was found 1t had
been janmed in the trunk and sur
rounded with quantities Of plaster
of Paris and paper. a zinc tank
inside the trunk fitted perfectly. The
newspapers were dated from Febru-
airy is to April II, 1902.
The only clue is the name of wv.
Lewis" which appears on the out
side of the trunk. Lewis was
boarder in the Meagher family up to
about six years ago. He told Meagh-
er on going away that he would
leave the trunk and call for 1t some
time.
At the morgue, Coroner's Physi-
clan Leban, and Prof. John McAllis-
ter, of Bellevue, made an examina'
ton of the body and found it to be
that of man. The surgeons declare
that the victim was placed in the
trunk while still alive and death re-
suited from asphyxiation. The con-
dition of portion Of the right lung,
which still remained, indicated this. :

in the Last Election.

Governor-elect Eugene N. Foss OF
Massachusetts,, has issued state
ment, says a. dispatch from Boston,
In which he demands that Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge withdraw from
the field for reelection. In the event;
of a refusal Mr.. Foss declares he
will go into every section OF the
Comm in campaign 10 de-,
feat the Senator. Mr.. Toss's state
ment in part follows:
'In the name Of the majority Of
the sovereign people on the Common
wealth of Massachusetts I demand
tha Henry Cabot Lodge surrender
his seat in the United States Senu1e,
by withdrawing from his contes:. for
reelection.
His election to the Senate would
be reputation of the great victory
of the people at the last election. He
was on trial as much, If not more,
than Governor Draper, and If he
had been the candidate my majority
would have been double what it
was.
"The issues on which the fight was
made, on which I was elected, we're
honest tariff revision downward,
lower duties on the necessaries, OF,
life, free raw materials, an untaxed
food supply with Canada and more
democracy in our form of govern
ment.
I'VE all know where Senator
Lodge stands on these issues and
where he has stood all these
years. To re-elect him would be-
step backward, and Massachusetts
has never learned, to walk back
ward.
II shall never sign his credentials
except at the end of campaign,
which will make the last one look
like an afternoon tea party.
"He must surrender or fight. He.
must defend his position before the
people. The people Of Massachu-
setts will not permit him longer to
manipulate the Legislature. I am
ready, and If he does not retire Will
he on the stump in every section Of
the State, and we will find out where
the people stand. Senator Lodge Is
net in touch with the new order of
things, with the progressive spirit.
Of the times. He does not represent
the people, the men and women in
the ordinary walks Of life. ,"

DEFENDS OUR RECORD
SOUTH CAROLINA HAS BECOME
A GREAT CORN STATE.
The Great Yields Per Acre in the
State Is Being Questioned by Some
People.

South Carolina Is coming to be
known throughout the United States
as a great corn producing state and
there are many who doubt the great
yields per acre that have been made
in this state.
Out in Memphis the other day a
we'll known minister who once lived
in this state was making an address
before large gathering Of farmers.
He told them the story OF how Jerry
Moore had produced over 22S bush
els of corn on one acre Of land and
as result, the well known preacher
has been placed in the Ananias
club. The people don't believe that
SO much corn can be grown on one
acre.
This minister realizing that he had
much to do to prove his statment
Immediately addresses a letter to
this state asking for the document
airy evidence. The alidavits have
been furnished to the minister with
statement from the United States
government expert, substantiatinS
the large yield of Jerry Moore.
A South. Carolinian in Virginia al
so has placed himself apparently in
the Ananias Club and he makes the
following appeal to the South Car
olina department Of agriculture.
"a Virginia gentleman was re-
Gently 'mirating' over a yield Of 160
blu. of corn per acre, which was made
oy a Virginia farmer. Under the
impulse Of the moment (and which
I now realize consisted chiefly Of
indiscretion) remarked that that
yield had been exceeded in South
Carolina, where a yield of two hun
dred and fifty bushels had been made
several years ago.
"The being Virgin
ian-was too polite to speak his
thoughts, but the expression of his
face, Indicated clearly that I filled
all the essential requirements for
eligibility in the Colonel's Ananias
club. I now appeal to you in the
name of a badly mutilated reputa-
ton, to furnish me with proof to
sustain MY statement either in whole
or in part.

ed. in at least two colors; but if you
have not these on tap, I would be
glad to have any secondary evidence
which you may have at hand.
The yield referred to was that by
Capt. Drake Of 255 bushels on one
arce Of lani. The information has
been furnished.
One day Senator Smith was dis
cussing agriculture with the men,
bers of the agricultural committee
IF the senate. He mentioned the
Drake yield and was promptly doubt
ed by the other members Of the
senate committee. They knowing
Senator Smith accepted his state
ment finally when he had produced

PARIS DRAWS KINGS
ACTRESSES ARE A CHIEF DE
LIGHT OF THE ROYALTY.
Taxes. wrung From Poor Peasants
and Workingmen Are squandercd
in Maintaining Former Gutter
Children.

Every king in Europe, with few
exceptions, spends a good deal OF
his time in Paris, squandering in the
French capital the revenues wrung
from poor peasants and workingmen,
on favorites, who live in luxurious
surroundings. Paris is full of kings
in exile and kings in disguise. Ev-
cry prominent actress, in the great
city boasts of. a king, a grand duke
or. a, prince among her admirers.
Strange to say most of the sirens
who tempt the royalty OF Europe,
were children of cabmen, peasants
Of working people :of the poorest
class, and even of slum dwellers.
Thus Paris brings the kings of Eu
rope as slaves to the feet of her gut
ter children. She tempts them
with ruinous delights, and teaches
other nations how to set rid of them.
Five years ago 'Monua Della was
earning SO week as a mllliner 5
girl in Paris, working till her fingers
ached and walked home in the rain
and SNOW and other kinds Of wealth
er to save the three cents omnibus
fare. Today she owns fire automo-
biles and has become the connois.
seur of the most exquisite luXuries
and no outlay is too extrayagant for
her. She is much admired by AL
phonso, King Of Spain.
1t was through her suggestion
that Alphonso introduced King Man
uel, Of Portugal, to Gaby Deslys,
daughter of drunken cabman and
washerwoman. She received lit
tie care, played about the streets
with other gutter children and learn
ed the Partisan argot in all it's rich
suggestions.
1t Is said she conld converse IN a
manner that wodld make the ave.
age cab driver blush and gasp for
breath. Her career on the stage be-
gan as singer and dancer but her
rise was rapid. One theatrical man
ager declares she had remarkable
business ability and keenness at j
bargain. Perhaps the ex-King Of
Portugal can now add some obsar-
vations to the same effect.
The eagerness Of his Imperial
scapegrace, the Grand Duke of Bor.
is of Russia, ito keep arctic Dorgere
in high estate in Paris was one OF
the causes of the Russo-Japanese
war in which 100000 men lost their
lives. When the war was raging

The Partisan actress.
Lucille Lantelme, particularly ad-
nlired by the King Of Greece, came
near causing a rebellion in the EN- :

from the treasury and spent part Of
it for a necklace for his lady in Par
