Columbia, March 2S.-"The new

Making this statement Go. Blease
vetoed the measure passed by the last
general assembly providing for a
commission to investigate the acts
and affairs Of the old State dispen-
sary commission, which act was re-
queSted by the chief justice.
Il have turned over all papers in

instructions to investigate all of the
affairs of the old State dispensary and
those come cted with the winding I'D

require him to tell everything that

This is the way Gov. Blease COM
mented upon the work Of the new
commission.
The members Of the new dispen-
sary commission which met yester-
day in the office Of Gov. Blease are:
John V. Wallace, Charleston; Thomas

When death laid his finger on the
lips OF G.. III. Charles and sealed them
In eternal silence. the tongues OF
heretofore meek and silent grafters
were loosoned and they have become
as noisy and bold as roaring lions.
III Col. Fielder can goad Gov. Blease
into the courts as the prosecutor in
a libel suit there will be interesting
revelations that cannot be brushed
aside with an airy wave of the hand.
Col. Fielder either has the proof on
the Governor and knows that the lat
ter dares not risk an airing of the
dispensary graft scandal in the
courts. or Is playing bold hand to
blum those who began the attack on
him.
Anent the report that Maj. John
Black could not raise the $4,000 fine,
the Inquiry, what did he do with
it?" Is pertinent The trial at Chester
revealed where he got IT.
Most men would be ashamed to ad-
init having so many friends in the
penitentiary that need standing by.
The Blease- Fielder controversy Is
rather spicy reading. but who Is
qualified 20 say how much truth
there Is In any or all of the state
ments by either party? The general
public-those who have not had the
privilege OF n peep behind the scenes
ARE very much perplexed to know
what 20 believe. There IS a general
impression that the wind-up COM
mission Wa well advised when Col
Fielder was employed % catch tho
graftors and force the whiskey houses
90 disgorge. but as To his general
character and the immaculateness Of
his reputation most people have not
a very clear idea. Not a few peo-
pie believe that IL Col. Folder and Gov.
Blease. aided by Hub Eavns. tell all
they know about each other and the
dispensary II will be- messy and
stenchful proceeding.

No Clemcncy Yet for Morse and

Washington, March 27.-EXecutive
clemency will not be extended al
present to Charles W. Morse, the
New York banker, and John r.
Walsh. the Chicago banker, who are
serving 10 and 5-year sentences,
respectively. in Federal prisons, for
the former at Atlanta and the latter
at Leavenworth. 1t was learned to-
day that the President will follow
the recommendations Of Attorney
General Wickersham.
1t is understood that the recon-
mendations held that the ends of
justice would be served by allowing
these prisoners to complete their
sentences.
An official statement was issued
today declaring that Morse is in a
critical condition.

would he no objection. This | un-
derstood to be done, and the name
Of Mr. Moore to be withdrawn. How
ever, as to the withdrawal, there
seems to have been some misunder-
standing between the chief Justice
and ourselves. which it is not neces-
sary to state, as that misunderstand-
ing does not enter into this contro-
Nersy. The name of Mr. Moore was
withdrawn for the reason. and only
reason, that the governor notified me
that he would not. under any circum-
stances, be appointed.
My letter to the governor bearing
date March -, 1911, and published
I'm the Columbia State of the eth
inst. was based upon the previous no
tiucation from Coy. Blcasc To m"
that he would not appoint Mr.. Moore,

will take charge Of the affairs of the
old State dispensary.
Gov. Blease said that he would
turn all Of his papers over to the
commission to be used in the investi-
cation. Several days ago the COVER
nor said that he had a mountain of
testimony" that he would produce at
the proper time. He said that all
OF his evidence would be used by the
new commission in it's work.
The members of the old dispensary

These members served the State Of

investigation.
Shortly after taking the oath of
Office Gov. B!ease sent message, to
the general assembly intimating
"crookedness" on the part Of the
members Of the dispensary commits
sion. He requested that a commits
sion be named . make thorough
investigation Of all of the acts and
affairs Of the commission. Upon the
request of the governor the general
assembly passed an Investigation act.
There were to be three members
from the Senate and three from the
House. Before the Senate adjourn
ed President Smith named Senators
Carlisle of Spartanburg. Clifton of

the committee from the Senate.

House, refused TO name his commit

names Of the Senate members re-

gave as his reason. "Oh, that mine
