er of this city for many years past,
passed away at his home in this
city Saturday night, after a long
illness of miners consumption. The

C. & c. shaft for a long time up
to a year ago, when his failing
health made it impossible for him
to longer continue there. He went
to Southern California, but the
change did not seem to have the
desired effect and he returned to
this city. Mr.. Hatton was we'll liked

will cause much sorrow. He is sur
vived by two sisters OF this city,

SEVERAL SENSATIONS ARE
SPRUNG BY REPUBLICANS
Move on Foot to Force RooSe-
welt to Be a Candidate for
President In 1912.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-All at
tempts to disguise the fact that
a concerted movement is on foot
looking to the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt as the republican candi-
date fr president in 1912, We're
apparently dropped yesterday when
it became known that members of
the national committee were being
sounded as to their view of the
feasibility of forcing" the nomin-
alton of the former president.
Another sensation was the report
that a sharp fight will come up in
the committee over the proposed
naming of the all-powerful sub
committee of five to make plans for
the convention, to choose the chair
man, ETC., and that the fight would
find the secretary to the president,
Mr.. Hilles, and Postmaster General
Hitchcock arrayed against each each
other.
Mr.. Hitchcock, accompanied by
Acting Chairman Hill and Secretary
Haywar of the national committee
went to the White House yesterday
afternoon and had a lengthy con-
ference with Secretary Hilles. II
was said that Mr.. Hilles had al
ready agreed with Mr.. Hitchcock
as to the personnel of a sub-eom-
mittee an that their list did not in
clude Colonel New.

slate were those of Mr.. Hilles him.

WIFE MURDERER
HAS APPEALED
PORTER CHARLTON, WHO MUIR
DERED HIS WIFE, is FIGHT
ING EXTRADITION.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Dec. 12.-
After a year and a half in the Hud-
son county Jail awaiting some defin-
ite disposition of his case, Porter
Charlton, accused of having mur-
dered his wife at Lake Como, in
italy, in June, 1910, is facing an,
other year and half of inaction.
All the persons concerned are APP
parently willing that the case shal
take its tedious course. The young
mans father, Judge Paul Charlton
of Porto Rico, and others of the
family have made no move to hast
en- judicial action, and Major Scott
brother of the murdered woman
also is silent. The case is delayed
by Charlton's appeal to the supreme
court against eXtradition. lndica-
tions at present are that this ap-
peal will not be reached before
1918. His extradition to Italy, it i;
believed, would result in sentence
of 20 years Imprisonment.

LOS ANGELES, Dec 12.-The
name of Clarence S. Darrow, chief
counsel for the Mcnamara brothers,
was brought into the preliminary
hearing of Bert H. Franklin, de-
fense investigator, charged with
bribery, before Justice William
Young yesterday,
George n. Lockwood, the venire-
man whom Franklin is accused of
bribing, testified that Franklin told
him he would "see Clarence S.
Darrow and arrange how the money
was to be paid" The utterance Gre
ated a sensation.
Lockwood, in his story, declared
he rejected Franklin's proposal, told
District Attorney John D. Fredericks
of it, and the following Saturday
after his name had been drawn
from the jury wheel, allowed Frank
lin to reopen negotiations on ad-
vice of the district attorney. The
first offer Lockwood said, was of
$4,000; the final one of $4,000.
When the matter finally was brought
up, Lockwood said, Franklin then
brought in Darrow's name.
In subsequent telephone conver-
sations Lockwood said Franklin
asked him if he should bring the
big one out" and was told to dc
so.
When he arrived, said Lock.

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT
PITTSBURG SILVER PEAK

Ed Juessen, who for the past
three years has been general man
ager of the Pittsburg Silver Peak
mine, has resigned from that posi-
tion and will be succeeded by w. A.
Bradley, his assistant. Mr. Juessen
has made notable record at this
great mine, having reduced the costs
of production down to the low
figure of 1924 ton, thus enabling
the profitable mining and milling
of very low-grade ore. His resig-
nation was most regretfully ac-
cepted by the directors of the COM

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Late
comers among the members of the
republican national committee who
arrived here yesterday for the meet

Leading Ohio republicans contin-

bring about semblance of har-

gone that the doctor told his daughter
that she could indulge him in anything
he might crave in the matter of food
to the end of making him happy il
possible, as nothing could delay the
end or really hasten it. The daughter
asked her father if there was any par
ticular thing his appetite fancied.
Yes" whispered the old man, "a bit
of fine cake with lots of nuts and cur
rants in it."
A woman neighbor, who heard the
old fellow express his desire, had g

Pride Of opinion is perhaps the most

The Why of Suicide.-The frequency

The Why Of Suicide.-The frequency
of suicide in South Carolina is becom-
ing alarming. Twenty years ago sui
eide was of such rare occurrence in
this state that when a man took his
own life it was a matter of state wide
comment, but now suicide is handled
by the newspaper as an item Of little
Importance. There are no suicide sta
tistics available, but our impression is
that there have been almost as many
suicides in the state within the past IL
months as homicides. We are at loss
to account for the growing tendency
for self destruction, but it must pro-
ceed from a weakening Of the moral
fiber of our people, lack Of courage
to meet and contend with adversely
and the hardships of life. 1t also in
dicates a decline in the influence of
religion over the minds Of the people,
and a lack of faith in a reliance upon
the love, mercy and justice of an all
wise Power that 6oeth all things we'll.
