HYDE LOCATED BY
NEWSP APER
REPORTERS
uCh.SOught ChamberIiu of
New York City
ON HOUSE BOAT IN FLORIDA
Craft Stuck in Mud and No One Per-
mitted to Go On
Board

Daytona, Fla. Jan. 14.-Still stuck
in the mud the household "Stop-a-
while on which it is reasonably GER
tain that Charles II. Hyde, missing
chamberln Of the city of New York,
is hiding, has been unable to continue
its journey to the East Coast of Flor
ida. Every avenue of escape for Mr..
Hyde il he is on the boat, has been
cut off. Reporters are on guard at
every point.
In spite of the denials that Hyde
is on board the "Stop-a-while" it has
been ascertained that he boarded the
vessel at st. Augustine on Tuesday.
AS there is no possible way by which
he could have left the boat since he
must be in the cabin on the lower
deck, but efforts to board the house
boat yesterday were stopped by John
Wiswell, father-in-law OF Mr. Hyde,
who commanded all launches not to
come within touching distance.
From the upper deck Mr. Wiswell
demanded to know what was wanted.
In reply to the question whether Mr.
Hyde was on board or not he ans
wered gruffy:
That's for me to know and you to
find out"
1t has been ascertained that Miss
Mollie Sherman of ST. Augustine took
dinner with the Hyde party on Tues
day in St. Augustine, and that Mr..
Hyde was a member of the party.
Miss Sherman is a relative of Mr..
Wiswell and knows all members Of
the boat party. 1t is also stated pos
itiyely that Hyde was on board the
"Stopa-while" when it left ST. Aug
Justine. The canal from st. Angus
tine to the head>of the Halifax river
is one through swamps through which
no road runs, so 1t would have been
impossible for Mr. Hyde to escape
in either direction by land.
Mrs Hyde and two children joined
the boat party at st. Augustine on
| Tuesday, having come down from
New York by train Mrs Hyde and
the children were seen on the deck
lof the houseboat yesterday, the wife
being plainly nervous and excited.
She and Mrs. Wiswell spent most OF
the time pacing up and down the
deck wheeling the younger Hyde
child and neryously watching the
men who were trying to pull the
"Stop-a-while" out OF the mud.
Mr.. Wiswell spent much. of his
time in pacing the deck. watching
closely to see that no strangers came
within touching distance OF the house
boat and shouting occasional orders
to the men al work with the ropes
and launches.
The Stop-a-While was so deeply
lmired in the mud that It was seen in
the late afternoon that It would be
Impossible to release her until the
tide came up. and the attempt to pull
her loose was given up.
The canal on both sides Of the
houseboat is closely guarded by re
tporters, and as the only way Mr.
Hyde can leave the Stop-a-While is by
boat, he will be seen II an attempt Is
made to 90 ashore In the bright
moonlight with the houseboat occupy
ing a position in the open water. I
he comes on deck in the course Of IN,
night he will be spotted by the news
paper men.

The Primary Bill.

Our serio-comic legislature, after
a long period of labor. passed
primary bill at the end of last week.
At the beginning Of this week 1t
took the babe and smothered it. The
bill. while not being the best, was
a measure that would have done
great service for pure elections In
Vermont II may be that Vermont
has less need of that kind Of legisla-
ton than other states, but we do
not believe it. 1t is possible that we
may not need it SO badly as some
of the larger states, but we need II.
There is no doubt about that. Even
the wayfaring man, though a fool,
need not be without the knowledge
that corruption stalks around In
every election in this state.
The direct primary laws were born
of the attempt all over this country
to prevent corruption, by making
bribery impossible. The states that
have enacted such legislation are
well satisfied with the results. 1t
may be that some do not work out
the ideal condition, but that is be
cause the law itself cannot make a
reform without honest men to en-
force It. That fact is true of every
law. Improved conditions must come
from the people themselves. The law
is only machine for the moral
people to use TO control the immoral
Until the moral people are in the
majority and take control reform
lags.
In our opinion the direct primary
laws are bound to create great
moral movement to cleanse elections
wherever they are adopted. They
put the responsibility into the hands
OF the people themselves. II the
people are honest with themselves
purity will reign under the direct
primary law. II not, then democratic
government must fail. If the whole
people are subject to bribery then
comes the man on horseback"
The direct primary bill which our
wise legislators passed at one legis-
latiye session and killed at the next
was a measure that would have been
of great value to the moral people
of the state. It appears that the bug
aboo OF the large towns scared the
members. They did not want the
small towns to be hitched up with
that class OF people. They feared a
loss OF political power, yet The fig
ures showed the contrary. The pro
posed law was a fairly good measure.
We cannot understand why the
town representatives were not In.
cluded In the law, nor the United
States senators. nor blanks on the
ballots to write in names. On the
whole. however. the law In our opin.
ion would have shown good results
| II not It could easily have been
amended. Burlington News.

PROTECTION OF DEER
Report Of Forest Commissioner-De.
crease in Destructive Fires.

Albany, Jan. 14.-In his annual re-
port transmitted to the legislature
last night, II. Leroy Austin, the retir.
ing state forest, fish and game COM
missioner, goes at some length into
the conditions governing the deer
supply OF the state. 1t is recon-
mended that the open season for
hunting deer be continued as at pres
ent or If any change is made that
the season be heightened to include
the first two weeks in November
with the restriction that no does be
killed at any time.
The protection of does, II is pointed
out, would conserve both deer and
hunters. The report says a hunter
who stops before shooting to make
sure that the animal at which he
fires is not doe is not likely to kill
human being.
IL is recommended that some suit
able amendment should be made TO
the law which would permit the pos
session and use of dogs for leglti-
mate purposes in the Adirondack
section. It is stated that a proper
system Of registration of dogs could
no doubt be made which would per.
NIT the use of dogs for bird and fox
hunting.
The report shows the prosecution
OF 1884 cases with a recovery OF
nearly 100000 in fines, the largest
return ever received In the depart
ment of game protection. 1t is rec
commended that the organization o.
game protectors be systematized by
doing away with the title of assistant

division chiefs to ten to correspond

FAVoRs AMENDMENT
Congressman Foster Urges Vermont
to Adopt Proposal

Burlington, Jan. l4-Congressman
ID. j. Foster. who was home to attend
the state dairymens convention this
week, came out In favor OF the In
come tax amendment TO the United
States constitution and he declared
that he hoped the Vermont legisla.
ure would adopt the resolution.
Congressman Foster said In part
as follows:
1T should be iterated and reitera.
ted that this amendment Simply
gives Congress the power to assess
an income tax. With the Senate
made mp exclusively of representa-
ives OF the states It seems to me that
we can rely upon IL. In case IL should
be deemed wise at any time to levy
such tax to safeguard the interests
of the states and TO except from the
effect Of the proposed law all incomes
derived from state securities. And II
seems to me that as Congress Is
made up of representatives Of the peo
pie and of the states, there need be
no apprehension that an income tax
OF any sort will be levied except In
case OF great emergency, unless the
people demand such tax,

NO FOUNDATION FOR RUMORS.
Manager Hobson Says He Knows
Nothing of Any Proposed Raise
in Southern BelPS Rates.

The manager of this division OF the
Southern Bell Telephones territory,
who has headquarters in Columbia,
stated yesterday that there was no
foundation for the rumor which has
been circulated in Newberry to the ef-
feet that the rates for service would
be increased here.
Mr.. Dobson was in Newberry yes
-erday afternoon. He said that he
knew nothing Of any proposed raise
even being considered, and as soon as
he was asked about the matter by
The Herald and News over the long
distance phone he had communicated
with Mr.. Speer, the division superin-
tendent, and Mr.. Speer knew nothing
of it. Inasmuch as the raise would
have to come through the Offices Of
these two officials, Mr.. HobsOn said
there was no foundation for the ru-
NOR.
The company has spent great deal
of money in Newberry recently in the
installation of cables and otherwise
improving the service. The system
here is we'll managed and we'll con-

The rumor of a raise in the South

DEATH FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
Body of Young Married Woman, Bur.
led at Trinity Last Tuesday, Ex.
humed by Coroner.

AS the result Of rumors which per-
sistently circulated, Coroner Felker,
in company with two physicians, and
the dead woiman's husband, went to
Trinity graveyard on Friday after
noon and had disinterred the body of
a young married woman who died
suddenly in the Newberry cotton mill
village on Monday night and was bur-
led on Tuesday. Drs. T. W. Smith and
W. a. Dunn, the two physicians who
accompanied the coroner, performed
an autopsy and gave it as their con-
clusion that death was from natural
causes. -.
The young woman was in delicate
condition at the time Of her death,
and the rumors connected the name Of
a negro woman with her death:
Coroner Felker, who heard the re-
ports which gained circulation, be-
coming, general and persistent
throughout the city, took the matter
up with Solicitor Cooper in Columbia,
and it was under the solicitors ad-
vice that he acted in having the body
and the autopsy performed.
