DAMAGE is NOT so GREAT.
OIL Mills Suspending With View OF
Conserving Supply of Seed.

Washington, April 29.--Damages to
crops in the southern states east of
the Mississippi river are not as great
as some of the first reports seemed
10 Indicate according to President Fin
ley of the Southern Railway He said
today that reports show cotton and
corn have suffered in the other two
thirds of the States of Mississippi, Ala
bama and Georgia, but that further
south these crops were not quite far
enough advanced to be seriously hurt
"There is still ample time to re-
plant both cotton and corn" he said,
"and IL this is done extensively the
final yield may not be greatly reduced.
Reports indicate general suspension
of cotton seed crushing by oil mills,
with view to conserving the seed for
planting. The peach crop does not
seem to have been materially damaged
Melons and cantaloupes in southern
Georgia may have to be re-planted to
some extent. Strawberries suffered
little. No damage was done to fruits.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Prof. Frank Evans Addresses Spar
tanburg Teachers Association.

Spartanburg, April 3O-The meeting
of the County Teachers association,
held today at the court house, was
one of unusual interest owing to the
fact that Prof Frank Evans, super
intendent of the city schools, by spe-
cial request discussed the subject of
compulsory education. Those who
heard Prof. Evans on this subject
declared that new facts were present
ed and that they had their eyes open
ed. The address was a strong plea
for law to compel the children to
be put in school, and kept there as
long as necessary.
In speaking of the slipshod methods
generally pursued in schooling or
rather not schooling them, Prof Evans
said people would not stand idly by
and watch an animal being punished
and not raise a hand, yet they stand
by every day and see children treated
far worse by not being kept in school
and denied the privileges of an edu-
cation.
In speaking of the education of the
negro. Prof. Evans said that the i'm
preston that an education filled ne
groes' minds with absurd ideas of
social equality was a false one. He
said he was not afraid of the educated
man, white Of black. that it was gen
orally the uneducated whites and the
uneducated blacks who wrangled over
questions of social equality. To his
mind the educated negro knows his
place, and the more educated the white
man and the negro the further they
get from social equality.

Dayton, O.-The following resolu-

ed by the Ohio Democratic conven-
ton after the denomination Of Mr..
Harmon for governor by reclamation:
1--WE invite the attention of the ma
ton to Judson Harmon and the work
he is doing for Ohio. Two years hence
it will have been completed, then we
can spare him for larger duties. He
believes that guilt is personals act
ing on that belief at home and would
act upon it in larger fields. A high
sense of duty provides his only mo-
tives for official actions and his sense
of justice alone compels Judgment.
Firmness and strength mark him the
man to supplant vacillation and weak
ness. The nation needs real man.

and indorses for the presidency in

SAY CHARLTON is INSANE
Alienists Who Examined Wife Muir.
derer Declare He Is Irrespon-
sible for His Acts.

New York.-Porter Charlton, self
confessed slayer of his wife, Mrs.
Mary Castle Charlton, whose body,
stuffed in trunk he tossed into Lake
Como, Italy, may escape punishment
for his crime.
Powerful influences were put at
work Friday to save the prisoner, now
locked up in the Hudson county Jail
at Jersey City, from being extradited
to Italy.
Judge Charlton, the murderer's ia
Their, consulted with R. Floyd Clarke
of this city and former Senator Will
liam D. Edwards of Jersey City, whom
he retained on Thursday after getting
word at Washington of the arrest of
his son as he stepped from the steam
er Princess Irene at Hoboken. At
this conference it was decided to fight
the extradition proceedings urged by
the Italian charge d'affaires in a cable.
gram to his government at Rome.
The murderer's counsel have de-
termined upon a defense of insanity
to keep him from being removed from
this country. Four alienists visited
Charlton in his cell and watched him
for five hours. When they emerged
they said that he is without doubt
insane and that his particular species
of insanity is incurable.

FREES NATIONAL PACKING COM.
PANY AND SUBSIDIARY FIRMS.
Sustains Demurrer on Technical
Grounds-Orders Special Grand
Jury for New Hearing.

Chicago-The indictment against
the National Packing company and its
ten subsidiary concerns charging them
with conspiracy to restrain trade in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, was knocked out Thursday when
Judge Keneshaw M. Lands in the
United States district court sustained
the demurrer filed against the indict-
ment by the so-called beef trust.
A special venire of seventy-fve men
was ordered called for July IA. From
this venire a grand jury will be drawn
and a second investigation Of the
packing companies begun.
In his decision sustaining the de-
murrer to the government indictment
Judge Lands said:
1.-The most painstaking search of
this indictment fails to disclose the
presence of charge that during the
statutory period the defendants have
engaged in, or had anything to do
with interstate commerce, or that
they done anything having any effect
upon such commerce, and the. court is
not clothed with authority to supply,
entirely by inference, the complete
omission of such a fundamental ele-
ment of the offense.
This fatal weakness might have
been obviated by including the charge,
had the evidence warranted it, that
the defendants, or their respective Of
f1cers or agents, did something, as,
for instance, fixed prices, controlled
output, divided territory, or the like,
which effected a restraint of inter-
state commerce being carried on
within the three years period.
''The general averment that the de-
PENDANTS engaged in combination in
restraint of interstate trade is, OF
course, mere conclusion, and there
fore insufficient. The demurrer must
be sustained"

by the vacuum company in the con

of the work Of E. L. Quarles, Ameri'
can manager of the German COM

nounces that no necessity exists for

No evidence IF anything warranting

Quarles, and the costs of the entire in.

The result of the investigation con.
