WATERY GRAVES FOR MANY.
Passengers and Crew Go Down When
Vessel Turns Turtle.

The British Columbia Shipping
Company's little wooden steamer,
Sochelt, built for passenger service
on an inland lake, turned turtle in a
furious gale off Beeched Head, Van
couver Island, late Saturday and went
down with all On board, twenty-five
passengers and the crew of four men.
Thirteen passengers had landed at
William Head just before the steam
er went out to destruction. Most of
the passengers were railroad laborers,
bound for a Canadian northern con-
struction camp, but few were resi-
dents of Sooke.
Henry Charles, an Indian, Of
Rocky Point, was gathering wood Oh
Beecher Bay at $3.50 p. m. Saturday
and saw the vessel, three miles off
Beecher Head, when the gale struck
her. She leaned over and swung
around as though she intended to run
across the strait to Port Crescent, on
the American side. The tiny craft
had partly turned broadside to the
wind when she righted. then went
over and lay on her side.
The Indian watched the steamer
ten minutes and at the end of that
time the vessel was swallowed up by
the sea, leaving not a trace on the
surface. Capt. J. B. James COM
manded the vessel Beecher Head is
west of Beecher Bay, in the Strait of
Fuga, twenty-five miles from Vic
toria.

BLEAsE CUSSES A LITTLE.
Says Chief Justice Jones Can Do
What He Pleases.

IRA B. Jones can mandamus, or
G--d-us, or do anything he
pleases. I am not going to appoint
Ernest Moore as special judge for the
Union county court. You can take
back these papers, for l will not read
them"
This is the way Governor Blease
expressed himself Saturday to F. q.
Wylie, of Lancaster, who presented a
request for a commission for Ernest
Moore as special judge. This state
ment was made in the presence Of
Senator Tillman and several other
visitors in tfesoffice.
The statement means that another
special Judge controversy has COM
menced between the supreme court
and the governor, and that the gov
ernor will disregard the recommen-
dations of the judicial department Of
the government.
The Union County Bar Association
petitioned Chief Justice Jones to ap-
point Ernest Moore as special judge
for special term of the civil court
to commence in that county neat
Monday.
The following letter of recommen-
dation was addressed to Governor
Blease by Chief Justice Jones, asking
that Ernest Moore be com miSSiOned
as special judge:
Pursuant to section 2, 73A, vol
ume /, code of laws, | have ordered
special term of common pleas for
Union county for the trial Of civil
cases not requiring a jury, for the
week commencing March 9th.
There being no circuit judge dis,
engaged so as to hold the court,
respectfully recommend that you is
sue a commission TO Hon. Ernest
Moore of Lancaster, S. c.. learned in
the law as special judge to hold the
said court"
Ernest Moore is one Of the best
known attorneys in the state and has
served as special Judge on several oc-
casions. He heard the John Black
case and sentenced the former dis
pensary official to five years in the
penientiary. Mr.. Moore was not
named in the list of "eligibles' re-
Gently sent to the supreme court by
the governor.

instituted at once.
The calamity is just what I have
been predicting" said one. There
was no outside fire-escape on the
building. This large death toll Is
due to neglect"
The police say that today's fire is
the sixth or seventh in the building
within twelve months, all OF which,
they say, occurred in the shirt waist
factory. The others were trifline.
The factory, incidentally, is said TO
be the first in which operators struck
during the widespread shirt waist
strike settled several months ago.
BY today's fire the total shirt waist
operators who have perished in New
York is nearly 200. Not many weeks
ago % girls met death under some
what similar circumstances in New
ark, n. J.

BLOW PROVES FATAL.
Hit by Stone Several Months Ago,
Dies of Effects. :

From the effects of being struck in
the head with rock several months
ago, while gathering hickory nuts,
Samuel Benson, Jr., IA years OF age,
and son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. R. Ben
son, died Thursday at his home on
Bleckley street, Anderson, S. C. Sew
eral young boys were around the tree
gathering the nuts which they would
knock down with rocks and storEs.
One of the rocks hit young Benson.
He was given treatment and seemed
to respond to it. A relapse came
week or so ago, and his death fol-
lowed. Young Benson was bright
lad, and very popular among his play
mates. OF course, no blame is at
tached to any one, as the blow was
purely accidental.

GOES SCOTT FREE
JOHN BLACK GETS A FULL PAR
a DON FROM BLEAsE.
Before His Recent Communication,
Blacks Sentence Was Five Years
in the Penitentiary.


in the Penitentiary.
John Black, former chairman of
the State dispensary board of direc-
tors, convicted of conspiracy to de-
fraud the State, sentenced to five
years in the Penitentiary, his sen
tence being later committed to a fine
of $4,000, o. FIVE years, by Governor
Blease, was late Friday uncondition-
ally pardored by the Chief Executive.
Black had not yet paid his fine,
having been given until September I,
and the proclamation issued by Gov
ernor Blease Friday afternoon not
only relieves Black Of the payment OF
the fine, but restores the former ois-
pensary director to citizenship, and
removes the stigma which commuta-
tion could not reach.
Friday night John Black is in Rich
mond, and it is probable that not un-
til Saturday will he know Of his par
don. His local counsel did not know
where to reach him in Richmond. His
wife is also out of the city. having
gone to Denmark, so that 1t is also
probable she does not tonight know
that her husband is again free from
the sentence of the Court.
The order giving John Black mis-
freedom Is formal, being such proc
lamation as was issued when John
Blacks sentence was commutated.
The pardon is as follows:
"Whereas, at a Court Of General
Sessions and Common Pleas, begun
and holden in Chester County, at the
November term of court, 1910, before
Judge Especially Ernest Moore, one
John Black was convicted Of con-
spiracy to defraud the State and was
sentenced to five years in the State
Penitentiary; now know ye that for
divers good causes and considera-
tions, me hereunto moving, I have
thought fit to pardon and by these
presents do pardon the said John
Black.
Given under my hand and seal,
etc.
"Cole L. Blease, Governor.
The pardon was signed late Friday
afternoon, shortly before the Cover
nor left the executive offices to go Ia
the Mansion. No reasons are as
signed in the pardon.

Child Dies of Rabies.

The above rule is also recognized IN
Archbold's Criminal Practice, vol

"In Bishop on Criminal Procedure,
second edition, Volume I, Section
1920, it is said: If the prosecutor
in the English practice wishes to
make use Of one of the defendants
as a witness, the Court will permit a
verdict Of acquttal to be taken at
once in his case, and thus he will be
rendered competent. In our own
States the ready method in such cir
cumstances would ordinarily be for
the prosecuting officer to enter a mol

timony he wished to use.

Another Heresy Case.

Among the many subjects OF I'M
portance which will be taken up by
the assembly during its session, the
most important will be the heresy
cases involving President Francis
Brown and Professor William Adams
Brown, both of Union Theological
seminary, and Rev. William D. Grant,
a graduate of the Union seminary, who
Is now located in Northumberland,
Pa.
For years there has been constant
friction between Union seminary and
the Presbyterian church, and at near
ly every assembly some phase of the
difference comes up for discussion.
Last year the case of Steen, Black
and Fitch, students of this seminary,
charged with heresy, almost caused a
split in the assembly, though the
young men were finally acquitted.
This year the question is more seri-
GUS, in that it affects the president
and one of the most influential profes-
sors in the seminary. Both men are
charged with heresy in that in their
writings they strayed from the ortho-
dox view of the immaculate concep,
ton and the resurrection of Christ.
DR.. Grant, a graduate of Union semi
nary, is also charged with departing
from the faith of the founders of the
church in writings and sermons on
the same subjects.
