new WARD FOR JAIL.
Among other Things Recommended in
Report to Commissioners.

The formal report of District Judge
A W. Dana and County Attorney John
J. Schenck to the board of county COM
missioners upon the condition of the
county Jail, following the inspection
made by them a week ago, contains
the recommendations for improvements
outlined by the State Journal at the
time of their visit.
Principal among the proposed i'm
provements given recommendation is
the construction of a hospital ward
which will serve as a detention hospi-
tai for insane prisoners and juvenile
culprits. A general cleanup for the
establishment is strongly advised. From
the present gloomy interior it is pro-
posed to make a change by Frightening
up the cells and wards by the use of
white paint and enamel. This, and
the replacing of worn wooden floors
with concrete will facilitate the work
of keeping the Jail clean. The report
recommends the installation of ward
divisions in the third story of the jail
to relieve CONGESTION in the lower de-
partments. New plumbing is needed
and some protective work to keep sur
face water from the street away from
the Jail foundation in the rear.
The entire improvements recommend
ed would cost several thousand dollars.
The county commissioners have admit
ted the need of much of the proposed
work and are inclined to act favor
ably upon the suggestions of the judge
and county attorney whose report was
made as a part of their prescribed Of
fetal duties.

TO ARGUE KANSAS CASE
Judge Bates of Chicago Completes
Brief in Topeka Hearing.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Several cases of
great Importance to fire insurance
companies are expected to be settled
soon. The Indiana antitrust cases
which have been pending for two years
are due for a decision this month,
Judge Weir. who heard them, having
given notice to that effect. 1t is be-
lieevd that he will continue some form
of injunction against the local boards
and stamping secretaries. but will
permit the state raters to continue
their operations as at present.
With that out of the way interest
will center on the hearing of the i'm
portant case in the federal court at
Topeka, which has been set for trial
October 4, involving the constitutions
ality of the Kansas rate regulation law.
Judge Bates of Chicago, the attorney
for the companies, has completed his
brief, in the preparation of which he
was assisted by Seymour Edgerton.
The basis of the argument is that the
rates of only those businesses can be
regulated by the state which are i'm
pressed with the public interest, such
as railroads. common carriers, etc. It
is shown that insurance is not impress
ed wit hthe public interest to such an
extent as to make this possible. The
legal and constitutional position of the
companies in this case is believed to
be strong and is expected to be
strengthened by the troubles which
have befallen the Kansas fire COM
panies since the enactment of the rate
regulation law. two of the three having
gone out of business within a month.

STORY OF MURDER.
Nurse Who Cared for Miss Swan
Makes Confession.

San Francisco, Sept. 26.-After two
days and nights of silence, Marie Mes
serschmidt, the nurse held in detinue
since Friday night in connection with
the death of Eva Swan, following the
| finding of the girls body beneath the
cement flooring of the basement of a
vacant house, confessed to the police
Sunday that she had knowledge of
| the operation performed by DR.. James
Grant upon Miss Swan and that she
attended the girl after the operation.
DIR. Grant was taken into custody with
the nurse and Paul Parker, former
Stanford athlete, who lived in the
| house where Miss Swan roomed, was
taken to the police station and placed
in detention.
The nurse was induced to tell the
story by her brother-in-law, August
Borman of Oakland, who visited her
at the city prison Sunday afternoon
He showed her a picture of her dead
mother, pleading with her to tell the
police everything, impressing upon
her that this would be her mothers
wish. The young woman tainted, and
upon her recovery, became hystericaL
When she was Quoted she agreed TO
tell the entire story to detectives.
Following the confession, DR.. Grant
was led from his cell and brought into
the desk sergeant's office where Miss
Messerschmidt was seated. At sight
of his nurse, DIR. Grant broke away
from the jailers and ran along the
prison corridors. He was chased by
policemen and forcibly returned to
the office. He staggered and almost
sank to the floor when he learned of
the nurses collapse.
In her story Miss Messerschmidt
said that Paul P. Parker, young
man who had known Miss Swan for
eight years, had visited the hospital
on three occasions to see the dying girl
after the operation. The police i'm
mediateIy took Parker into custody
and placed him in the city prison. He
admitted the visits to the hospital to
see Miss Swan, but strongly denied
any responsibility for her condition.
Later he gave the police a detailed
account of his acquaintance with Miss
Swan.
Miss Messerschmidt said she was
not present at the operation which
was performed, she said, on April 16,
of this year, at the office of DIR. Grant.
Following the operation Miss Swan re-
turned to work at the office where she
was employed She was forced to
leave her work on April 20. because of
illness and went to DIR. Grant. She
was placed in bed in the small hospital
ward maintained by the doctor. There
she remained for 10 days. her con-
dition gradually becoming worse until
death brought relief.
According to Miss MeSserschmidt,
the girl died during the night while
alone. She was found dead in bed in
the morning.

CAN CLEMSON BE SUED?
U. s. Supreme Court to Pass on I'M
pOrtant Issue.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Can the
board Of trustees Of Clemson Col
lege be sued under the laws of South
Carolina, or is the College a part of
the State, hence not amenable to act
ion for any cause? This Is the ques-
tion that the Supreme Court of the
United States will be called upon to
decide the present week, when the
County. against Clemson College,
comes up for argument
In September, 1905, action was
commenced in the Court Of Common
Pleas for Oconee County. by DR.. Hop
kins against the college. in which he
alleged that because that institution
had constructed a dixie on it's land on
the Seneca River 1t had caused him
serious damages at times, especially
when freshets were prevalent. He al
legged that he was damaged in the
sum of $4,000.
The case came on trial before
Judge James Aldrich. The board OF
trustees set up first a general denial
and also exemption because the Col
lege was corporation and an agent
for the State of South Carolina in the
erection of the dixie. hence it could
not be sued. When the case came be-
fore Judge Aldrich, he filed a decree
holding that the suit was against the
State and could not be maintained
Therefore, he ordered it dismissed. An
appeal was then taken to the Su-
preme Court Of South Carolina and
from that Court brought to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States.
The Clemson devise and the Acts
of incorporation. upon which the Col
lege was created, will come squarely
before the Court when the case is
taken up. 1t is considered that this
is one Of the most important cases
that has been before the Court for
many years because Of the important
question of law involved.
