PUBLICITY NOT REQUIRED.
Apparently Fatal Defect in New
Campaign Expense Law.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Primary
election expense statements from
Senators Martin and Swanson, of Vir-
ginia, the first to be filed under the
new publicity law, that went into ef-
feet August 19, reached the office OF
Secretary Bennett, of the senate, to-
day. In the absence of Mr.. Bennett
officials of his Office declined to make
them public. Following this declin-
alton, a careful examination of the
law resulted in the startling dis
closure that in the act there is no
requirement for publicity of the in
dividual statements filed by candi
dates for the senate or the house Of
representatives.
The law requires the filing of in
dividual expense statements and
pledges of appointments, but it is ap-
parently left to the discretion of the
secretary of state, or the clerk OF
the house, as the case may be, to de-
eide whether these statements shall
be given to the public. The publicity
law of 1910 requires that the ex-
penses of campaign committees shall
"be a part of a public record" and
"shall be open to public Inspection y
The statements received to-day
from Senators Martin and Swanson
will be forwarded to Secretary Ben
nett in New York. What construc-
ton he will place upon the new law
is not known. 1t was generally un-
derstood during the preparation OF
the new law, amending the act of
1910, that the amendments were de-
signed to give actual publicity to the
individual expenses of candidates for
the senate and house. Much surprise
was expressed to-day when it was
realized that the law was entirely
silent on the matter of making these
private expense statements public.

Schooner Lost Off Charleston.

A portion of the stern of vessel
bearing the name of "Margaret A.
May" was picked up after the storm
by Capt. Hernandez on the beach OF
Coles Island. It is feared this is all
that is left to tell the tale of the
big Philadelphia schooner which sail
ed from Charleston on the 23rd OF
August, homeward bound. with a car
90 of lumber from the Burton Lum-
Der Company. Capt. Geo. L. Jarvis,
master of the Margaret May, and his
crew of eight men, are thought to
have been drowned.
Capt. Jarvis was well known in
Charleston, having traded at this
port a number of years, and being a
member of the Carolina Yacht Club
and the Commercial, Club. His
friends here expressed grave fears
for the safety of his ship, and after
the storm reports from her were anx-
iously awaited. It is now certain
that the vessel was destroyed, and it
is most likely that the captain and
his crew were drowned. 1t is prob
able that the lumber which Capt.
Hernandez reports scattered over the
beach of Coles Island is part of the
cargo Of the Margaret A. May. To
find it's way to Coles Island the stern
of the ill-fated vessel had to drift
across Stono Bar.
It is understood that Capt. Jarvis
had as his guests on this trip his two
brothers, which would make eleven
souls lost in the wreck of the schoon-
er. It is not known at what point
the vessel was probably wrecked. A
number of sea captains were yester-
day discussing the fate of the Mar
garet A. May in the office of Cohen
& Wells, ship brokers, through whom
the vessel traded here, but they could
not agree on the place where the
wreck might have occurred. They
were all well known seamen, and
each had some word of praise for
Capt. Jarvis.
Their is no telling how far the por-
ton of the wreck picked up on
Coles Island beach had drifted. 1t
may have drifted from some island
where the master and crew found
refuge from the storm, and where
perchance they may be to-day-iso-
lated and unable to communicate
with the mainland.
The Margaret A. May was vessel
of 458 tons. She was built in 1884
and was owned by Jonathan May &
Sons, of Philadelphia.-News and
Courier.

Bed-Bugs Knock Out Telephones

Atlanta, Aug. 31.-When the local
swithch board of small rural tele-
phone community went completely
out of commission night or two ago
"a thing never heard of before in
it's career-friends in the city were
naturally perturbed at not being
able to reach their country cousins,
and in the morning 'phoned again
to inquire the cause.
The message came back that the
exchange had been put out of COM
mission by bed-bugs!
The natural inference here was
that bed bugs had eaten up the lady
operator, and her friends exclaimed,
"Alas.'
But that wasn't the way of it, at
all, though the supposition was not
unwarranted. Further information
developed the fact that the pesky lit
tie vermin had got behind the
switchboard at the central Office,
where they had fed, waxcd fat and
prospered, banqueting the while on
the parafine that covered some Of
the electric wires. Like the re1ec-
tion attributed to Daniel in the Ii
on's den, this was one dinner after
which there weren't any speeches.
leastwise not over those telephone
wires. It was an amusing mishap
such as probably has never occurred
in the whole realm of telephone his
tory before and never will occur
again. A gallon of bed-bug exter-
minator and little work on the
part of lineman soon put phones
back into commission.
For several years past telephones
have been gradually coming to be
regarded as just as much of a neces-
sity in rural districts as in the cities,
and the whole South is now thread
ed with rural phone connections.
This is the first recorded time that
any rural office has gone out of COM
mission even for a night, except in
time of terrible storm.

TOOK PANTHER FOR TARGET?
Delaware's Captain May Have to
Explain to Fleet Commander.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 30.-Accordine
to a report, Admiral Osterhaus, com
manding the Atlantic fleet, has de-
manded that the captain of the battle
ship Delaware explain how it was
that the ship Panther, with 500 men
on board, was three times endanger-
ed last Monday by shells from the
Delaware.
The Delaware had been firing upon
the sunken San Marcos, in Tangier
Sound, and, it is declared, seven
miles away, the Panthers rig made
her look like the sunken San Marcos.
The Delaware, it is charged, by mis-
take, fired three 31st, three 32d, and
three 33d battery salvos at the Pan
ther, the second within 100 yards
and the third within Is yards of the
repair ship. This made things sc
interesting for the repair ship that
it's wireless was put in operation and
the firing suddenly ceased.
All the firing, it is declared, was
then called off and the fleet ordered
back to Hampton Roads, where prep.
arations are now being made for the
September war game. The Panther
had aboard a moving picture appara'
tus taking scenes of the. gun tests
and further destruction of the Sar
Marcos.

PAROLE FOR CONVICT.
Man Who Escaped Five Times to Be
Let out on Ticket of Leave.

Jackson, Mich, Aug. 30.-James
E. Cushway, the Jean Vatican OF
Michigan, at present serving a 30
year sentence in Marquette prison
for robbery, will be paroled by the
pardon board September 1.
Cushway, who is just past 80 years
of age, is the smoothest man ever
locked behind the bars, according to
prison authorities. During his career
he has made his escape from Jackson
prison five times but each time he
was recaptured. Jackson prison au-
thorities say they know he could es-
cape from that institution at any
time if he cared to, and for that rea-
son he was transferred to Marquette
last December together with Burke
Boyce and Thompson, the confessed
dynamite plotters who made plans to
blow up the Jackson institution.
Cushway never injured an officer
in his escape, but always managed
to make his getaway by means OF
some clever scheme. On one escape
he donned the garb of a guard and
walked past an officer who saluted
him as such. Another time he placed
himself in a box and was shipped out
of the prison.

ambition of Napoleon. Three millions
and seventy thousand there were In all
so history tells us--more, than half OF
them Frenchmen. They are not all
shown in the picture. They are only

DYNAMITE.
IL Raised Ructions Before Nobel Learn
ed to Control IT,


ed to Control II.
Dynamite Is Greek word for pow
der. Its chemical name is nitroglycerin.
1t was discovered In a laboratory In
Paris by A. Sobrero in 1S47. Sobrero
escaped death a hundred times by the
closest margin and was never able to
learn how TO handle the explosive with
shy safety
About 1885 Alfred Nobel. Swedish
engineer, learned how to explode the
liquid by detonation. Nobel Bros. Of
Hamburg that year sent young man
to America TO introduce its use TO min.
ers, He met with no success, and a
tin can of the liquid left by him in a
New York hotel when thrown into the
street wrecked the hotel. iniuring
many and causing the neighborhood TO
rain glass.
1t was known commercially at this
stage as "glonlpn" and blew up by ac-
cident a West Indies packet at Colon,
killing fifty people and destroying
property worth a million dollars. Then
Its use was prohibited by law. 1t will
burn at certain temperatures II the
quantity Is small When exploded It
instantly expands 10000 times; the
gases require 10000 times the space
Of the liquid.
At last Nobel learned TO soothe and
quiet the liquid by causing It to be alb.
sorbed in infusorial earth. 1t was this
preparation that in 1866 was called dy-
Mantle by Nobel. When 1t explodes
the force plunges FIRST downward and
then rebounds upward. Unless connn-
