Fourteen PardOnS
In One Day,

Governor Blease probably broke all
South Carolina records on Monday,
when he issued pardons and paroles 70
fourteen prisoners in the State peni-
tentiary. Of this number nine were
serving life sentences. Most of those
receiving clemency at the hands of
the governor were negroes, and the
chief grounds upon which the governor
acted were that the men released were
sick and practically OF no use to the
State. ..:.~:..

to says there is not enough
money in the valley to be spared
for such an undertaking, - refer

necessary money for these tests
is not only in the valley, but in
the bank ready for use in max

already drilled, but to drill other
test wells" Forget that libel

Ell Paso, Texas, May 4-The
conference will take place in a
tent about half way between the
Madero camp and the federal
stronghold at Juarez. Ropes
have been stretched around it for
some distance and curious spec
tators, especially those with cam
eras, will be kept at a distance
to prevent annoyance to the
negotiators. 1t has not yet been
decided who will be admitted to
the conference for both sides, but
it is probable that senors Braniff
and Obregon and probably gov
ernor Ahumada of Chihuahua,
who is expected here tonight will
argue the governments case.
For the revolutionists, DR.. Vas

visional governor Of Yucatan, will
be the sold representatives of the
insurgents present.
Judge Carbajal was introduced
to Francisco Madero, sr,, early
today at breakfast in a local ho-
tel, and other members of the
Madero family were later pre-
sented to him. Judge Carbajal

The we'll that will make
Willard famous as an irriga-
ton center was completed
Tuesday after several weeks
constant drilling.
The we'll was drilled on the
Dilley Bros. claim northwest
of town by N. E. Pickens. A
twelve inch hole was put
down to depth of 1877 feet
when it was reduced to an
eight inch hole and carried
down to 1S4 feet when the
drill bar took a sudden drop
Drille1 Pickens is a practical
well driller, of several years
experience and judging from
past experiences and present
indications he is positive that
they have tapped a large un-
derground stream
The first water was encount
ered. At t .tsWe1lt y-foue.feet when,

d strata of water bearlhgsAhd
and gravel extending down to
a depth of IS feet was struck
In this "a feet there was a six
foot vein of very coarse gray
ell extending from 80 feet to
3S feet in which there was an
abundance of water and
would have supplied about $50
gallons per minute This was
not sufficient for the needs of
the Dilley Bros and they is
sued orders to go furt herdown
The drilling continued day
by day with very little trouble
or delay after reaching the
48 foot mark Some little
trouble was experienced in
the upper part of the we'll On
acc untof the caving of sand
Almost the entire we'll was of
water bearing formation until
near the bottom when a hard
clay was found and out O
which the drill dropped into
the underground stream and
made total depth in the well
of 1870 feet. The water now
stands within about 20 feet of
the surface.

Columbus, O., May 3-Dr.
George B. Nye of Pike county
today handed to Speaker Vining
his resignation as a member Of
the house of representatives cal
endar committee, his action fol-
lowing that Of the other six men,
bers, who followed the lead of
Representatives Russell and
Langdon, who resigned after
notice that they would do so un-
less DR.. Nye resigned.
Rumors of confessions by men,
bers of the Ohio legislature and
of arrests of accused members
are rife today as the grand jury
convenes, but no officials will
substantiate them. Speaker Vim
ing is authority for the state
ment that he would request the
resignation from the house cal
endar committee of Representa-
tive George Nye of Pike county.
That probably explains Nye's
action. Prosecutor Turner re-
iterated his declaration that he
would not accept any confess
sion of men who sought by con-
fessions to escape prosecution
through the immunity bath.
It is still reported here that de-
tectives have secured evidence
which is being laid before the
grand jury tending to implicate
some of the most prominent men
in the assembly. Three detec-
tives are said to have been at
work among the members and
have succeeded in giving bribe
money to at least a dozen.
The sudden declaration that a
scandal Of serious proportions
had been unearthed here, which
was made yesterday, has caused
a burst of indignation among
the legislators. but thus far none
Of them have left the city. In
terest today centers in what
action the grand jury will take
and what information the prose-
cutor has laid before it.
1t could not be learned whe-
ther or not actual arrests had
been made, but it is likely that
warrants will be issued for men,
bers of the legislature in a few
hours.
