THE TILLMAN SUIT
Affairs of United States Senator and
His Family Are Again
in the Lime=

NOLUMBIA, S. c., jan 3O.-Wide in
terest is being shown, especially
~ throughout the south, in the suit
that has been brought in the state su-
preme court here against United States
Senator Benjamin r. Tillman by his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Benjamin r.
Tillman jr., who alleges that Senator
Tillman is wrongfully Withholding her
two children from her. The senator
admits having in his custody the little
girls, Douschka, years old, and
Sarah aged 3. He saws he has a
legal right to them, as they were deed
ed to him by proceedings permissible
under the laws of South Carolina by
his son, the father of the two little
girls. The matrimonial career of Mr..
and Mrs. Tillman, jr., who were mar
ried in December, 1908, has been a
troubled one. After much unhappiness
and mutual recrimination the couple
parted November 20, 1908. South Caro-
lima being the only state in the Union
without a divorce law that recourse
was not open to them. Mrs. Tillman is

CIVIC WORKERS TO
SEE POLITICAL PLAY
Good Government Leaguers Will in
Body Attend "The Man of
the Hour" Perform
ance

Good government leaguers of Los
Angeles to the number of over 400 will
attend the performance of 1.-The Man
OF the Hour" at the BelaScO theater
Wednesday night.
Councilman Miles Gregory is looking
after the details of the big theater
party and the responses already re-
ceived make it apparent that the Be
lasco will be entirely too small to ac-
commodate the good government peo-
pie who will want to see this great
Broadhurst preachment against graft
in municipal politics and an argument
in favor of good government.
The story of THE Man of the Hour
is essentially a story of good govern
ment-indeed, Mr.. Broadhurst himself
AYERS that the idea of the play was
suggested by a view of the tablets to
be placed in the state capitol at Har-
risburg, Pa. When in Harrisburg
several years ago Broadhurst visited
the then almost completed capitol
Seeing two large vacant spaces near
the entrance, he queried:
What are they for?"
They're to carry bronze tablets of
the men who were on the state capitol
commission. At present the tablets
are in the basement
"And why are they not in place?
questioned the playwright.
"Well, you see," answered the Penn
sylvanian with no show of state pride
at all, 1.-The men whose names are on
those tablets have all been arrested
for graft in connection with the build
ing of the capitol
The hero of 1.-The Man of the Hour
is a young man who carries his party S
banner to success with the distinct
understanding with the bosses that
he will be straight" He is so
straight-but in entirely another sense
that he incurs the enmity of the
gang, as we'll as a crowd of capital
lists who are using every known po-
litical method to jam a street railway
franchise through the city council. The
young mayor triumphs, but he only
comes out at the top by resorting to
good government-clean, honest, square
methods.
The performances of 1.-THE Man of
the Hour" at the Belasco this week
are the first that have ever been given
by any stock company and it is a fit
ting testimony to the high esteem that
not only Mr.. Broadhurst but Manager
William A. Brady holds the Belasco
company, for dozens of requests ac-
companied by alluring financial offers
have been made by other stock COM
panies for chance to play 1.-THE Man
Of the Hour"

M'lACHLAN TO TRY
TO CLEAR HIMSELF
California Congressman Will Subject
CLAWS to GrueIng Examination
When He Testifies in BaIIin-
ger=Pinchot Inquiry

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-When the
examination of L. r. CLAWS begins
tomorrow before the Ballinger- -Pinchot
investigating committee it is expected
that some new and striking features
will be brought out regarding charges
against officials of the interior depart
ment.
1t is expected that Representative
McLachlan of California and Repre-
sentative Kincaid, either directly or
through friends on the investigating
committee, will put Mr. CLAWS through
a grueIIing examination in an effort TO
free themselves of certain suspicious
Mr.. CLAWS said yesterday that after
having been commissioner of the land
Office Ballinger had acted as attorney
for Mr.. Kincaid. In regard to Mr.. Nc
Lachlan Mr.. CLAWS testified that Mr..
Ballinger had suggested to him that
the investigation against the Califor-
mia congressman be not pursued, as
there had been too much of that sort
of thing in the past"
There was no meeting of the COM
mittee today, and so far as tomorrow S
proceedings are concerned they will be
| directed entirely by Senator Nelson,
! chairman of the committee. No pro-
gram has been adopted, so far as is
known, the chairman preferring to let
the investigation take its own course.
Other witnesses are to be called this
week, but their names are not dis
closed. 1t is regarded as certain that
several officials and employees of the
general land office will be summoned
and the list of witnesses probably will
include government employees from
other departments having jurisdiction
in land matters or which are connected
with the conservation program.
There is much speculation as to
whether Clifford Pinchot will be called
to the stand. He has been an inter
ested attendant at the proceedings and
has followed the evidence with the
greatest care.
1t is believed Democratic members
of the committee will see to it that
Mr.. Pinchot is summoned-and will seek
to make as much political capital out
of his testimony as they can.
1--WE are going to the bottom of the
whole matter" said Representative
Ollie James of Kentucky, a Demo-
cratic member, tonight. He declined to
discuss the plans made by the Demo-
cratic members of the committee to
insure thorough inquiry
