LABEL GRAFT CASE
IS NOW ON TRIAL
Celebrated Dispensary Prosecution is
Again Resumed by State-COn-
spiracy Charged.

Columbia, Sept. 26.-L. W. Boykin
and John Bell Towill, former men,
bers of the State liquor dispensary
board; w. o. TatuDs lormer commits
sioner of the dispensary; NJ. A. Good
man, a liquor salesman, and Dennis
Weiskopf. a Cincinnati business man,
were placed on trial here today on a
charge Of conspiring to defraud the
State
The case is what is known as the
dispensary scandal and has been on
the docket several years.
1t is alleged that Bcykin, Towill,
and Tatum as members of the board,
through Goodman and Weiskopf, pur-
chased from CincinaaIi concern $780,
900 worth of labels for wiskey bottles
and that $4,000 of this amount was
returned to the State officers as
graft"
The supply of labe:s bought in 1905
was enough to last the State ten years.
The dispensary was abolished in 1907.
Persistent argument over the ad-
mission or rejection OF testimony of
witnesses and the entrance of records
into the evidence were the predomi-
mating fatures of the first day of the
trial in the celebrated label" case,
which was commenced this morning
in the court Of general sessions, Judge
Wilson presiding. The case is one of
the so-called dispensary graft cases.
Defense and prosecution stating them
selves ready for trial in the case of
the State against W. o. Tatum, for
merly dispensary commissioner; L. w.
Boykin and John Bell Towill, former
members of the dispensary board on
the charge of conspiracy to defraud
the State, the trial commenced when
court convened about 10 o'clock.
A number of attorneys representing
each of the defendants began a pre-
liminary skirmish OVER the question
as to ahy Dennis Weiskopf, the 9TH
er defendant on the docket in this case
was not tried along with the three
mentioned. Attorney General ]. Fraz-
er Lyon is in charge Of the prosecu-
ton.
The Governor q Spectator.
Governor Blease was spectator Of
the trial throughout the morning ses-
sion. He came in shortly after the
Jury had been drawn and listened
with apparent attention to the testi-
mony of the witnesses and the attor-
ney's arguments. During the argu-
ment on the admission of the stub
book as evidence, he shook hands with
Attorney Stevenson and remarked on
the "time-killing phase which the
case had already begun to develop.
The indictment which was read to
the jury charges that the three de-
PENDANTS, Tatum, Boykin and Towill,
were officials of the State dispensary,
that they entered into conspiracy to
sof-ord +h C+oto in tna n1rchasn OF
a number of labels from the Nivisson-
Weiskopf company at a total expend1-
ture of about $4,000, defaulting the
State of the sum of s22,500 in the
transaction.

MODERN OCEAN LINERS.
Their Double HuIls Defy Hidden Rocks

Their Double HuIls Defy Hidden Rocks
and Dereliets.
In the hands of sk1llful marine
architect much more has been accom-.
plshed with steel construction than
the mere economy Of space. The safe
ty of vessels at sea has been enor-
mously increased until in the highest
type Of modern ocean liners the ele-
ment Of danger is virtually eliminated.
The marvellous ingenuity displayed
throughout this great fabric Of steel in
guarding against every possible con-
tingency of the sea comes to the av.
erage landsman as surprise. A great
liner of $4,000 tons may be controlled
by a single hand. The complicated
machinery for safeguarding the ship
Is practically automatic.
The bottom Of the great hull Of the
liner is doubled, the inner shell being
strong enough to float the ship even
If the outer hull be completely torn
away. It is exceedingly unlikely that
water would ever reach this inner
shell through accident to the main hull,
but the precauuon Is taken 80 that If
It should strike hidden object it will
prove absolutely invulnerable. The
shipwrecks Of the past caused by rum
ming upon hidden rocks. derelicts and
icebergs are thus completely eliminat-
