GEO. f. KOESTER RESIGNS.
COlumbia's New Daily Said 10 Have

agcr Resigns.

Columbia, Jan. 12.-The Morning
News has died asborning. Following
the announcement of the resignation
of Mr.. Geo. T.. Koester long a ia
miliar newspaper man. comes the
suggestion that The Morning News
has given up the ghost
Those having the new enterprise in
hand allowed the PSYCHOLOGICAL mo-
ment to pass by, anyway. and there
is less demand for a new paper now
than ever before. After the heat Of
political campaign, and while the
victors were still in a fighting mood,
was the time for starting the paper,
but the advantage was allowed to
slip. Mr.. KOester's retirement from
the management leaves the corpor-
alton wi .hout a head. The company
had ordered a number Of linotype
machines and a thrity-two page
press, and some money must have
been paid down on the contract. How
the affairs Of the company will be ad-
justed is another story, which the fu-
ture will disclose.

BRANDIES POINTS OUT HOW
RAILWAYS MAY ECONONIIZE.
Management, Says Boston Expert, IS
Unscientific and Cooperation is
Lacking-Results DisasterOus.

Washington, Jan. live contend
that rates are ample but that the ex-
pense of operation is excessive; that
wages are not too high, but that, as
the management is unscientific, labor,
material, equipment and plant fail to
give adequate results. We plead for
the introduction Of scientific manage
ment, under which the railroads shall
get 100 cents for every dollar ex-
pended"
In opening his argument for the
shippers Of the Atlantic seaboard be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion today. Lotus ID. Brandeis of Bos-
ton thus presented the fundamental
reason, in his mind, why freight rates
should not be advanced as proposed
by the railways.
Mr. Brandeis declared that no rail-
way had introduced into any OF it's
departments the principles Of scientific
management. Proper methods, he
thougt. would save per cent of the
aggregate cost or even more.
Cooperation also, in Mr.. Brandeis'
opinion, would secure reductions in
the cost of steel rails. in the price of
which, he believes, an enormous saw
ing could be made. He suggested, how
ever. that no effort was being made
by the railroads to obtain a reduction
Of the price of steel rails because Of
the financial connections Of railroad
officials with the four great steel COM
panies.
= THE economies which would result
If all the railroads In the United
State introduced scientific manage
ment have been estimated at a mil
Hon dollars a day." said Mr.. Bran
deis. 'This would result in reduc-
ing the present operating cost Of the
railroads an average of 20 per cent"
Mr.. Brandeis concluded his argu-
ment with the declaration that the
railroads of the country were con-
fronted with the greatest Opportunity
of their existence to increase the ef-
tciency Of their labor, equipment and
plants. If they should embrace the
opportunity they would make for
themselves and for the shipping in
terests of the country and Of the
world. If they should not the re-
suit only could be in response to an
irresistible popular clamor and de-
mand, the government ownership Of
railroads Of the United States.

SHOT DEAD At HIS DESK.
CORONER'S JURY SAYS w. B. AB
BOIT'S DEATH WAS ACCI-
DENTAL.
Spartanburg Y. NJ. c. A. Secretary
Kills Himself-Ball Entered Right
Eye and Passed Through the Brain
Only One Cartridge in Weapon.

Spartanburg, Jan. 10.-Walter
Brooks Abbott, general secretary Of
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, shot himself in the head while
sitting at his desk few minutes af-
ten noon today and died shortly after
ward. In the absence Of any known
motive for suicide, the corners jury
found that he came to his death
from the accidental discharge Of
pistol in his own hands,"
There were only three persons in
the Y. NJ. c. A. rooms when the
shooting occurred, and none Of them
saw 1T. Their attention was attracted
by the pistol shot. They saw Mr..
Abbott fall to the floor and rushed to
his aid. One Of them, Geo. 1. Sar-
seant, travelling man of Maxton,
N. e., ran out for a physician and
found DR.. Hugh r. Black who was
passing along Magnolia street DR..
Black found Mr.. Abbott lying on the
floor in a pool Of blood. A pistol lay
beside him. The wounded mans
heart ceased to beat in about ten min
utes after DR.. Black came in.
The ball entered Mr.. Abbott's right
eye, passed through the brain and was
removed in fattened condition from
underneath the skin in the back Of
his head.
N. g. Genoble, clerk for the Spar
tan Hardware company, testified at
the inquest that Mr.. Abbott bought
the pistol on December %, saying
he wanted it for the protection of his
wife and sister-in-law who were fire.
quently alone at his home on the
Glendale car line.
Prof. Hugh T. Shockley, physical
director Of the Y. NJ. c. A. told of
having been shown the pistol by Mr..
Abbott one day last week. Mr.. Abbott
also told him that be bought the pis-
toi for his wife's protection during his
absence.
There was only one shell in the pis-
tol when it was picked up after the
accident and only one cartridge was
missing from the box Of so which
Mr.. Abbott bought at the same time
he acquired the pistol.
w. j. White. the sheriff, said that.
in his judgment, the pistol had been
fired only once. 1t was an automatic
revolver, and Mr.. White, who has had
considerable experience with firearms.
said that when loaded it was a dam
gerous weapon for an expert to
handle and extremely dangerous for
one who knew nothing about the
workings OF such a pistol.
Mr.. Abbotts funeral will take place
Thursday. The burial will be held
here.

Columbia, Jan. 12.-The suggest
ion has already been made that the
General Assembly confine itself TO
thirty-day session, instead Of extend
ing over forty days, as in previous
years. The matter was brought I'D
today by Senator w. L. Mauidin, the
President pro tenn of the Senate
from Greenville, on consideration of
an invitation to visit Winthrop Col
lege. Senator Mauldin said he be-
heved the work Of the session could
be accomplished in thirty days if
the members got down to work. What
Mr.. Mauldin says should have great
weight, for he has been in the Legis-
iature for years, and presided over
the Senate when he was Lieutenant
Governor and formerly as president
pro tenn Of the Senate. He has been
chairman of the finance committee of
the Senate also, which position he
was reelected to yesterday. The
winthrop invitation was accepted.
On the second day Of the session in
the Senate there were a number OF i'm
portant measures introduced. These
include the amendment proposed to
the child labor bill; the reapportion-
ment of the House delegations in ac-
cordance with the census of 1910; the
fifth Justiceship measure. and a bill
OF Senator Lides relative to the ju-
dicial circuits Of the State.
Senator Lide, Of Orangeburg. in
troduced the reapportionment meas
ure. This takes effect, when passed.
after the next general election.
The following counties, explained
Mr.. Lide, lose one Representative
each; Charleston. Berkeley. Beau.
fort, Aiken, Chester and Fairfield.
The following counties gain one
member each Anderson, Greenville.
Spartanburg. Orangeburg, Dillon and
Richland.
The bill provides for the following
representation:
Abbeville 8, Anderson G, Barn

Senator Wharton introduced an out
of the ordinary. measure today. 1t
would require weights and rates to
be inserted in bills of lading in ship
ments Of goods over the railways.
The bill provides that the bills of
ldulHS must contain the weight of
the package shipped and the rate
must be per hundred pounds or per
ton in accordance with the class Of
goods shipped.
The child labor measure introduc-
ed today by Senator Weston provides
that sixteen years shall be the limit
for work at night in the mills as TO
children, and all exemptions for chill
dren under twelve, as contained in
the previous law, are cut out.
Senator Carlisle if a bill he in
troduced today passes, would make
injury from automobile to property
cause lien upon the vehicle Such
a measure was introduced last session.
The car could then he attached in
case Of an automobile collision, or
such, and the owner would be with
out his car, provided he is not able
