DIR. OLIN SAWLER WITHDRAWS.
Georgetown Member Not to Seek
Speakership of House.

Columbia, Nov. 3.-With reference
to the speakership of the next house
of representatives DR.. Olin Sawyer, of
GEORGETOWN, who has been strong
and aggressive candidate for the Of
fee of speaker of the house Of rep
resentatives, has concluded to with
draw from the race. When seen last
night, DR.. Sawyer stated his position
as follows: Il am a strong believer IN
the principles of local option, and, as
is we'll known, have fought consistent
ly for this position. I find now that if
I continue in the race for the speaker
ship it will bring on a bitter contest
at the very beginning of the session
and rather than embroil the house in
a partisan fight of that kind, merely
over the selection of the presiding Of
ficer, I prefer to retain my position
on the floor, so as to be free to defend
the principle of local option on its
merits"

out to see what the trouble was. They
were directed to the chamber Of the
tragedy. On the bed was dead moth
er's body, covered with blood; by the
side of it on the floor was little Cline,
his body crumpled up in a heap; near
the door Wallace himse lying on his
back, his dead eyes staring wildly at
the ceiling, and Felton writhing in
agony near him.
All Buried Together.
The funeral services were held at
12 o'clock Wednesday, one service for
all three, (and they all three were
buried side by side in the little ceme-
tery).
The people of the town were gath
cred in groups Tuesday in the central
streets. The home of the tragedy was
crowded with friends, relatives and
the morbidly curious. A hundred ru-
mors of the motive were being whis-
pered, but no one would openly say
the provocation was anything but in
sanity.
One of the whispered stories was
that Mrs. Wallace would not get up
and unlock the door for her husband
when he returned from his lodge Mon
day night. 1t was said that his temper
was uncomfortable when he was up

IF ROOSEVELT SHOULD FALL.
Suppose He Accepts Democrats In
Yitation-Who Would Laugh!

New York, Nov. Ais the Hartford
Democratic town committees joke on
the Republicans or the Democrats?
Is question which is bothering soma
of the politicians heretoday. The
Hartford (Conn) committee in face
tious mood sent communication to
the Republican speakers bureau
here asking: Can We have Theodore
Roosevelt for an hours speech at
Hartford next Monday?"
Their idea of the joke apparently
was to carry out the Democratic con-
tention that Roosevelt's campaigning
in New York State and Massachusetts
has won votes for his opponents. They
wanted to convey thus sententiously
to the enemy in New York their feel
ing that Roosevelt speech would in
sure a Democratic victory.
But Republican headquarters in
New York failed to look upon the
brief telegram from the viewpoint OF
the Democratic humorists. The mes
sage was exhibited proudly and the
chairman of.the speakers bureau hur-
ried with it to Ezra Prentiss, State
chairman.
look here, Ezra" he shouted with
manifest excitement, 81 guess we've
got 'em on the run at last. The Dem
ocrats in Hartford must be in bad
way. They've given up the fight and
sent for Teddy. l guess the colonel
will be pretty glad to get this"
Forthwith a copy of the message
was ent to the colonel in Iowa some
where. If Mr.. Roosevelt should reply
favorably the Hartford Democrats may
find themselves next Monday acting
as the embarrassed hosts Of the chief
Republican campaigner.

GALE ON ATLANTIC SEABOARD.
Storm of Mid Winter Intensity Par.
alyzes Telegraph Wires and Rail-
way Traffic.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4-The north
east gale which came in from the
ocean yesterday developed during the
night into one of the worst Novembe ber
storms in years. In the mountain dis
tricts of Pennsylvania snow fell to
the depth of - inches and in some
places drifted badly. Railroad and
trolley service in these sections is
impeded.
The storm was accompanied by a
high wind which, played havoc with
telegraph and telephone wires.
Part of the anthracite coal region
is snowbound. At Delano, one of the
highest points in the region, and at
Frackville more than a foot of snow
fell and drifted in places to three feet.
Business Almost Suspended.
Trolley service was maintained
with difficulty and the Pennsylvania
railroad was obliged to use the tracks
of Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
company because Of a heavy drift.
Business of all kinds in Schuylkill
county was practically at standstill,
the storm having caught the region
entirely unawares.
Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, Will

FLAMES RAVAGE PLANT
OF MACON TELEGRAPH
Printer Burned to Death in Fir
Which Cuts Newspaper Office.
Loss is 100000.

Macon, Ca, Nov. 3.-The Maccn
Telegraph building was completely
gutted by fire tonight between $50
and 7.3O o'clock The loss is esti-
mated as 100000 covered by 80 per
cent. insurance.
Raymond Clay, printer, was burn
ed to death. He had come to the city
from Knoxville, Tenn, looking for
work, and. worn out by loss of sleep,
lay down to get some rest in the rear
of the composing room. The fire
spread with such great rapidity from
the back to the front of the building
that Clay was forgotten in the rush
for safety by the other employees.
Only about half Of the files of the
paper, dating back for Is years, were
saved. C. R. Pendleton, editor of the
paper, also, is is feared, lost vaLu-
able collection of old works on his
tory and Georgia subjects.
The fire, as far as can be learned
started from three boys smoking
cigarettes at the back of the build
ing, a ''butt' dropping into some pa
per. The flames leaped up and
spread as though the building vas
tinder. The efforts of the firenlen
were chiefly confined to keeping the
flames from spreading to the adjoin-
ing buildings, one of which is occu-
pied by the Macon Evening News
office and the regular morning edition
was being gotten out.

TRAGEDY IN GEORGIA.
Question is Was Wallace Insane or
Had He Quarreled With His
Second Wife.

Lawrenceville, Nov. 3.-The tragedy
Of Tuesday morning, the double muir
der by Joseph D. Wallace, a promin-
ent merchant, and his own suicide,
has inspired a hundred rumors as to
his motive. He shot his wife dead in
frenzy after a nightmare, and insanity
followed, is the theory of the surviv-
ing members of the family. The older
citizens say that Wallace was Pc
culiar man, and that several years ago
he killed a negro with but little pro-
vocation Some Of the gossips say that
Wallace and his second wife did not
get along we'll. That the catastrophe
grew out of a quarrel with her is
strengthened in their minds by Wa :
lace's shooting only the children OF
his second wife, while his thre daugh-
ters by his first wife were in the room
pleading with him not to shoot again.
*I have killed your mother" Miss
Estelle Wallace heard her father say
as he jarked little Cline, nine-year-
old boy, away from his dead mothers
brestbreast, "and now will kill you"
With that he shot the boy twice
through the heart.
The story that Miss Wallace tells is
a. reality mora horrible than any
nightmare.
The Daughters Story.
"About 2.3O o'clock" she said, my
sisters, Lena and Lollye Belle, and I,
who were sleeping in another room,
were awakened by mothers screams.
Then we heard three pistol shots. We
rushed to mothers and fathers room
door, and found FELTON,, Garland and
Cline there, knocking for admittance.
We thought it was a burglar inside.
Father unlocked the door and there
was the expression of demon in his
face. He grabbed FELTON,, who is four
teen years old, by the arm and shot at
him twice, wounding him once il the
shoulder. The father rushed out of
the house with trousers in his hands.
We ran to mothers bedside and little
Cline, putting his arms around her
neck, begged her to speak to him. But
she was dead.
The Second Crime.
"In few minutes father returned,
jumping around the room and chatter
ing like a gorilla. He jerked Cline
from mothers bed, and saying, I have
killed your mother and now will
kill you,' fred twice at him.
when father took hold of Cline we
all, wildly excited, pleaded with him
to stop. But he did not seem to hear.
After he had shot Cline he started for
the door and shot into it. I hope I
may never see such face again as
his when he turned and, pointing the
pistol at his own head, fired and fell
back-Gead.
I'VE girls screamed and ran out in
to the night. I did not know whether
l was dreaming or in hell

who lives next door, were awakened

MISS SHARLOT M. HALL,
HISTORIAN, VISITS YUMA.

Miss Sharlot NJ. Hall, Arizona His
torian, is in Yuma for somewhat eX-
tended stay, which will enable her to
become better acquainted with the To-
cality and the people, who have been
making history here since the. earliest
days in Arizona.
Few cities of the southwest have
been the scene of such stirring and 70
mantle life, or retain so much of the
picturesque while entering upon an
era of such rapid and substantial de-
velopment, and of this every visitor
must be keenly appreciative.
In Yuma the romance of yesterday
and the progress of to-day blend to
form an atmosphere peculiarly faSct-
mating to the writer and artist and it
is not too much to predict that this re-
gion will have its own place in litera-
ture and art as well as in history.
Twenty-eight years ago, Miss Hall,
then a little girl, rode into Arizona OIL
horseback having ridden for nearly
1000 miles beside the little wagon
train in which her parents, pioneers,
of the great plains, followed the from
tier on westward.
Since that time she has travelled Oh
horseback or by wagon over most OF
the remote sections of Arizona and
the poems, stories, and illustrated ar
ticles resulting from these trips have
attracted much attention both in the
West and in the East
. One of the most valued results of
these trips overland is a great collec-
ton of articles and objects of histori-
cal and chronological value and a large
number of manuscripts recording the
lives and experiences Of the early pio,
neers.
Miss Hall has been deeply interest
ed to- mark the graves of forgotten pho
neers and a poem written just after
visiting the grave yard at La Paz,
near EhrenbuTg, where the drifting
sands are slowly plotting out all mari.
of the graves, has been widely copied,
especially in the east
Four years ago during the summer
high water, Miss Hall made a brief
Journey up the Colorado river on the
old Steamer Cochan, and wrote a
Song of the Colorado" which has
been included in some recent autholo.
gies of American poetry.
She has several books approaching
completion, including a volume OF
poems and one of short stories.
An important feature of her work
for several years has been lectures
on Arizona history and frontier life
which work is now including talks in
all the schools.

COTTON CULTURE IN
COLORADO VALLEY

Cotton culture is to be attempt
ed on the east side of the Colo
RADIO river, opposite Needles,
Cal, during the present year.
At the same time 40 acres OF
land will be planted to date
palms and the acreage given will
be increased as rapidly as the
plants can be imported. These
innovations are to be attempted
by local capitalists. Expert
meuts conducted on the Yuma
experimental farm have demon
strated that both cotton and
dates will thrive in Southwest
ern Arizona.

S.P. Engineers at Work

Col. George w. Norton, while in
Yuma last week from his Mohawk
ranch, stated that Chief Engineer Ho"d
of the Southern Pacific railroad has
ordered corps of engineers from Doug
Has TO make location survey from Cal

MOhawk Summit. TO and around the
point OF the Mohawk mountains, TO
avoid the present heavy grades over
the Summit. Tse line will leave the
main line abeot seven miles from
TaCala, stri&e the ella river at the
point of the mountains, thence east,
and connect with the main line at
Aztec, This change will cut out all
the heavy. expensive grades between
Texas Hill and Aztec. The superin-
tendent of maintenance and way says
the ,uad xill be completed m 1910,
there being about twenty-four miles to
build.
The route will strike the point OF the
peropolis stage station on the old But
terrified line, operated over fifty years
ago. This station derived its name
from being the point where oSes from
the Ajo copper mines were stored, be-
ing hauled from there to Yuma by
freight teams, thence to San Francisco
by steamer. The Alp mines were the
frst worked in the territory and were
very rich producers.
The change IN the railroad will bring
the through line within two miles OF
Col. N0rton's ranch home. 1t will put

of Arizona mine, 81 miles from the
