Ben Tillman is Back on
Farm, Prepared to End Days in Peace
BY Robert wilson.

TRENTON, s. c., April s1s.--
The pitchfork has been laid to
rest, and Senator Ben Tillman, Wig
orous up to a few months ago, is
back on his asparagus farm near
Trenton to die.
He was up at Columbia the 9TH
er day visiting old scenes and
friends. A newspaper man asked
him about his health.
81 look in the glass and see the
old Ben," he said. '"Then 1 try to
hop around as / used to, and find
I'm not worth q damn"
And that Is the truth. The rug
ged form and face are apparently
the same as ever. There is still a
Pickering of the old fire in his
single eye. But his physique is a
hollow shell.
None of his family refers to his
failing health, nor do visitors men
ton 1t, of course. But the senator
is continually talking about his APP
preaching end, usually in jok-
Il ing way.
The people of the state under
stand that If Tillman's health per-
mits he will try for reelection to
the senate. And II he is a candi-
date he will be elected. No man in
the state has his political strength.
But he knows his future work will
be raising asparagus and not hell.
'Just Learning How to Live"
He showed q group of visitors
over his asparagus beds, which are
in full bearing now. The Tillman
asparagus is famous, and demands
big prices in the northern markets.
Just when I'm getting ready to
live, I've got to de-" he grumbled.

are all choked with rust now, but
the galvanized pipes are as good
as ever. I'm just getting so l know
how to live, and I've got to die. u
In the afternoon the senator di-
rected the setting out of a new
vineyard, about an acre in extent
The vineyard acre adjoins the
kitchen garden, in which Mrs
Tillman, in sunbonnet and apron
was at work with a wedding hoe

SAN FRANCISCO. April 18.-
Alleging that faulty installation
of gas meters endangered the lives
of thousands in San Francisco and
in many other big cities, Stephen
A. Byrne, city light and water in

governing the use of Illuminating
gas.
in report now being prepared

asserts that the New York factory
fire horror or the Los Angeles
Times disaster may be repeated in
San Francisco any day.
I'VE are spending millions of
dollars" he declares, ''for an
Auxiliary high pressure water
system and more for plumbing to
carry off sewer gas, while illum-
mating gas-one of the deadliest
poisons and highest explosives
is installed in almost every build
ing in San Francisco under a care
less system.
In letter to the mayor which
will accompany the report, Byrne
harshly criticises the gas COM
panies. !
Society passes laws to send
men to jail who take the lives of
fellow men," says the letter.
while in San Francisco lives are
sacrificed almost daily through
the greed of corporations INSTALL
ing cheap appliances and rushing

up TO CONGRESS
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON d. c., April Is.
Intervention in the Mexican
revolution today is up to congress.
President Taft has decided that he
will not send troops across the
border without congressional au-
thority. He believes that Sena-
tors and Congressman are familiar
with the situation, and that 1t is
unnecessary for him to call the
matter to their attention. The bel
ligerents at Aqua Prieta yesterday
ignored the American order not to
fire across the boundary line.
President Taft is ready to act, but
the members of congress seem un-
prepared to take step which
probably would mean war with
Mexico.
