REFORM IN MEXICO.
Madero Tells People Much

POLITICAL RIGHTS TO ALL

MEXICO CITY. September 1.-At the
end OF a most impressive day in the first
convention Of the new progressive party
Of Mexico. in which Francisco I. Madero
gave his views of the. platform and how
the country should be governed in his
speech accepting the nomination for the
presidency, the session came to a close
in wild disorder last night.
Threats to clear the galleries started a
tumult greater than that which charac-
terized Wednesday nights session. This
threat was supplemented by another to
adjourn and close the doors today to the
public. The row subsided only when the
turbulent element had worn itself out.
Following discussion of the four candi-
dates for the vice presidency the conven-
ton adjourned, leaving the vote for to-

have the effect Of forcing the owner OF

muneration or dispose of his property.
1t also is his idea to open certain gov

Conspiracy for Disorder.

When he could make himself heard San
chez Azcona, who was bending over the
footlights appealing to the delegates and
spectators in the name of patriotism, de-
cency and culture not to bring disgrace
upon the party at it's first convention, de-
clared that. in his opinion. the action OF
the group in the gallery had been insti-
gated either by cientificos or Reyistas in
an effort to disrupt the convention.
When Francisco I. Madero appeared be-
fore the convention yesterday to pledge
himself to the support of the adopted
platform, he assured the delegates that
they need not expect him to carry out
the reforms proposed in any given time
or by any radical means.
When Madero walked down the aisle
toward the stage. his slight form almost
hidden by the committee which had been
sent to greet him. the house, from par
quette to gallery. shook with applause
and the shouts of the men and women
who filled practically every seat in the
big theater. It was some time before
Chairman Sanchez Azcona could restore

Denounced as Forgery.

The trouble last night was precipitated
in the same manner as that Of Wednes-
day night. A delegate speaking against
the candidacy Of Jose Pine Suarez pro-
duced a telegram favoring the candidacy
of the Yucatan man and signed by Gus
tavo Madero. member Of the central COM
mittee. and so worded as to appear to inn
plicate that body in partisan action.
Madero, from the stage, denounced 1t as
forgery. Delegates in all parts OF the
house, for and against Pino Suarez,
shouted their approval or disapproval.
and the row was taken up by group of
students in the gallery.
Chairman sanchez Azcona had little
difficulty in calling the delegates to order.
but the irrepressible youngsters were deaf
to his appeals When he threatened to
clear the galleries or to close the house
to the public the jeering of the students
became vicious, and for a time it ap-
peared not improbable that the services
of the police would be required.

The Conductors Revenge.

A we'll dressed man entered an Or
ange street car the other day, accord
ing to the story that is going the
rounds of the street car men, and
handed the conductor a ten dollar
bill. The conductor was unable to
change it, and he let the man ride
free. The next day the man pre-
sented the same bill, and again the
conductor was unable to change it,
for the man had evidently found a
time when he would be sure to catch
the conductor without much change.
''I'll fix you," thought the conduc-
tor, and he obtained SO worth Of
nickels and was ready for the man
when next day he flashed, the bill.
The man took the matter good ma
turedly and soon left the car, his
pockets fairly bulging with the nick
els.
The conductor was more than
pleased with his coup until next day,
when he learned that the bill was
worthless.-Newark Star.

YOUNG GIRLS ARRESTED.
MAGISTRATE Kirby Writes to Their
Parents at Greensboro.

Two young white girls, jamie Cash
and Emma Riddle, both about Is or
16 years old, were arrested yesterday
afternoon at point near Saxon Mills,
on a warrant charging them with be-
ing vagrants. The arrest was made
by the policeman at Saxon, who al
legged that they were leading an i'm
moral life and that they were va
grants. 1t was said that there was a
large crowd of boys at the house
where they were making their head
quarters.
A warrant was issued before Mag
istrate Kirby this morning and the
girls were brought to his Office. They
gave the address Of their parents
as Greensboro, N. c., and said that
they ran away from home. West
Riddle is the father of one of the
girls while the others father is dead.

written theparents of the egirls telling
them of the plight and asking if
they want them sent back.
The girls were fearful swearers
and Constable Seay says that he
never heard so much cursing in all
his life as the young girls poured
forth on the way to Jail. There was
large crowd of boys who apparently
wanted to pay them out, but on
learning that it would cost 500 each
they hesitated.
No preliminary hearing was held
this morning but Magistrate Kirby
decided to wait until he heard from
the parents of the runaway girls.
These girls were outside of the city
limits and it was not possible for the
city officials to deal with them

HAS CORPSE BEEN STOLEN?
Coffin Containing Lawyers Body is
Found Above the Grave.

Stanford, KY, Jan. 31.-The cof-
fin containing the body of George
B. Sanfey, a lawyer and member OF
a prominent family. was found
above his grave in the Stanford cem-
etery early to-day. Whether the
body has been removed from the
casket has not yet been determined,
as, the authorities refuse to allow
any one to approach it until the ar
rival of bloodhounds. These will be
put on the trail of the persons who
hoisted the box from the ground.
One end of the lid is loose, and
there are mud tracks of a man and
woman on it.. An unidentified wo-
man tried to get the body several
months ago by having caretakers of
the cemetery exhume it, but they
refused. The grave was guarded for
several weeks, Saufley died sudden
ly last March. His father died three
months later.

Money Went Through Gin.

Greenville, Jan. 29.-During the
early cotton season last fall J. F.
Leopard, a Greenville county farm
er, brought load of seed cotton to
the plant of the South Carolina Co.
ton Oil company to be ginned. In
the load of cotton Mr.. Leopard had
placed the sum of $50 in bank
notes and one $40 gold piece. The
cotton was unloaded and not until
the staple had been run through the
gin did Mr.. Leopard think Of where
he had placed his money; and upon
examination of the waste there was
found here and there a shred OF
bank note paper, but Of course no
trace of the gold.
Mr.. Leopard gathered what he
could of the remnants to be found in
the waste and forwarded the pack
age by express to the treasury de-
partment at Washington with affi-
davits and properly certified account
of the circumstances. After wait.
ing several months the farmer was
yesterday overjoyed to get gov
ernment check for s114 with the ex-
planation that the shreds had been
pieced together to an extent repre-
senting this amount.

AFTER GIRL WITH SHOTGUN.
Man and Woman Resent Whipping o.
Son at School.

Saluda, Jan. 3O.-Warrants have
been issued against Pope B. Havird
and his wife by the trustees Of the
school of the Havirdsville communi-
ty charging them with assault and
battery upon Miss Carrie Mitchell,
their teacher, and likewise for as
sault and battery on Willie Harmon,
one of the pupils of the school.
Whipped Havird Boy.
The teacher has been having
trouble with one of the Havird's boys
in the school and Friday 1t became
necessary to whip him. The boy who
is about 13 years old resisted and
Miss Mitchell, who is young and deli
cate, called upon the Harmon boy to
hold young Havird. After school was
dismissed the Havird boy ran home
and told his father and mother of
the whipping. Havird got in his
buggy with his wife and taking bis
double barrel shotgun set out after
the teacher who was on her way
home. Overtaking her, 1t is said,
Havird tried to drive over her and
cursed and abused her most outrage
ously. Havird's wife, it is said,
struck Miss Mitchell with a stick and
otherwise maltreated her. Havird
likewise cuffed the Harmon boy
about rather roughly.
Indignation is Great.
It is said that Miss Mitchell was
greatly frightened and for a little
while was on the verge of complete
collapse. Miss Mitchell is an orphan.
She is regarded as a most excellent
young lady.
The community was greatly in
censed when the news of Havird's
conduct was learned, but cool coun-
sci prevailed and it was decided to
let the law take it's course. Some
people strongly advocated cow-hid-
ing Havird.
At a meeting of the trustees Hav-
ird's son was expelled.
Pope B. Havird has caused untold
trouble and annoyance to the people
of that community for the past ten
years or more.

Barnwell, Jan. 30.-A dastardly
attempt was made to derail South
ern railway train on the outskirts Of
Barnwell few days ago. Some one
placed several large rocks on the
track just beyond the Southern Cot
ton Oil company's plant. The line
at this point runs through deep cut
and makes quite a sharp curve be-
fore entering town.
A negro woman discovered and re-
moved the obstruction. About four
weeks ago some one fired pistol or
rifle into a passenger train at about
the very place the rocks were found.
The railroad authorities were adj
vised of the occurrence.

BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Col. ID. j. Knots Saved From Much
Greater Loss by Favorable Wind.

Swansea, Jan. 28.-The two-story
barn of Col. D. J. Knots was de-
stroyed by fire about dark last night.
Origin of fire is not known and there
is no cause for suspicion. The barn
was shielded on three sides. A fav-
orable wind saved the old Knots
homestead and another barn with
stables beneath.
Col. Knots lost several thousand
pounds of forage and about 500
bushels of corn. The loss is about
$4,000 with $500 insurance.
Col. Knots lost all his farm i'm
plements, including one buggy and
one shredder and feed mill.

Following the request for resigna-
ton, Thomas E. Miller, the president
of the State negro college, located at
Orangeburg, sent a letter of resig-
nation to Gov. Blease in which he
charges that he was dismissed be-
cause he opposed the election, of
Gov. Blease. Miller says in his let
ter that he counted the cost before
he opposed Gov. Blease.
The letter of resignation follows:
"Hon. Cole L. Blease, the Governor
of South Carolina, Columbia,
South Carolina:
"Dear Sir:-Because I opposed
your election to the chief office in
the gift of our beloved State, you
have demanded my resignation, stat

with your permission our honored
trustees have fixed the end of the
fiscal year, June 30th, as the day
for my resignation to be effective.

this leniency, the more so because |

ers not to vote for you. counted

I am prepared for the blow of your

two United States senators. In re-
sponse to their Endorsement, I have
put Is years of faithful service in
this work. I now thank them for
the great confidence they reposed in

an official act and I, alone am re-
sponsible to my country and to God,

you for there was no malice in my
opposition to you, I felt that your
announced policy against the negro
was not founded upon justice and
the best interest of the State; for
that reason I tried to bring about
your defeat.
