.. J.B. McNamara's Confession.
Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 5-James
B. McNamara's confession, penned by
his own hand late yesterday and bear
ing many evidences of man little
skilled in letters, was made public to-
day. It is as follows:
"I, James B. Mcnamara, defendant
in the case of the people, having here
tofore plead guilty to the CRIME OF
murder. desire to make this statement
of facts:
and this is the truth: On the night
of September 80, 1910, at 5.45 p. M,
placed in Ink Alley, a portion OF the
Times building, a suitcase containing
Is sticks Of 80 per cent. dynamite set
to explode at 1 o'clock the next morn
ing. 1t was my Intention, to injure the
building and scare the owners. [ Gid
not intend to take the life of anyone.
T. sincerely regret that these unfortu-
nate men lost their lives. If the CIV
ing of my life would bring them back
would gladly give it. In fact, in
pleading guilty. to murder in the first
degree, I have placed my life in the
hands of the State:
.(signed) James B. Mcnamara.
The confession covers one side OF
an ordinary sheet of paper and was
written with a fountain. pen supplied
by one of the attorneys. 1t is probably
the only written statement of the case
that will ever be made by the writer
or his brother, John J. Mcnamara, VINO

Chosen.

Greenwood, December 6.-After an
interval of eleven years, the South
Carolina State Baptist convention is
again in session in Greenwood, as the
guest of the First Baptist church. 1t
is the ninety-frst session of this body.
The convention opened last evening
after the convention sermon had been
preached by the Rev. W. p. Thayer, OF
Laurens.
Following the sermon, President W.
H. Hunt, of Newberry, took thes chair.
An address of welcome to the conven-
ton was then made by Pastor W. N.
Cowan, of the First Baptist church.
Mayor Baker was cordial and happy
in his remarks and impressed the visi-
tors with Greenwood's sincerity OF
welcome. On behalf of the other de-
nominations, the Rev. J. B. Green, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church, then
welcomed the convention to Green
wood. These addresses of welcome
were responded to by DR.. D. M. Ram
say, president of the Gre enville Fe-
male college. DR.. Ramsay is always
an eloquent speaker and was equal to
the occasion. -.
President Hunt then notified the
convention that its first business was
that of electing officers. DR.. c. G..
Brown moved that the vote Of the con-
vention be cast by Mr.. G. B. Buell., of
Charleston, for the Hon. W. H. Hunt,
CT Newberry, as president This was
, done. Mr.. Hunt expressed his appre-
citation of the high honor conferred
| upon him in re-electing him to preside
over the convention of representatives
of the 100000 Baptists of South Caro-,
lima. He assured all the representa-
| tives that he meant to be absolutely
ld1l d1u 11llpGl IA@l UOG LAe]e AC 1AL~ASN
adhere to the order Of business as
prepared fer the convention and hop
! ed no one would feel that he had been
disseminated against.
The Hon. Orlando Sheppard was
next elected first vice president and
DR.. F. P. Covington, of Florence, Sec
ond vice president. The Rev. c. A.
Jones was elected secretary, the Rev.
A. B. Kennedy, of Columbia, was elect
ed assistant secretary, Mr.. c. B. Bobo,,
of Laurens, was elected treasurer, and
Mr.. B. E. Geer, of GreenvilIe, was

| reflections. These and the other Of
fcers were ali elected by having some
| member of the convention cast the un-
animous vote of the convention for the
officer named.

der of business was then called for
and was presented by the Rev. 3. s.

I'D ROCKEFELLER STEPS ASIDE.
Succeeded as Standards Head by John
D. ArchbOld- Officers and
Directors.

New York, Dec. 4.-JOhn II. ROcke-
fe1ler terminated his career as head OF
the Standard Oil company today. With
him there also retired most of the con-
spicuous figures of the early days OF
the "Oil Trust
William NJ. Rockefeller, VIM. G..
Rockefeller, G. NJ. Pratt, H. NJ. Flag
ler, E. T. Bedford and others, whose
names have been prominent among the
officers and directors Of the Standard
Oil company, of New Jersey, stepped
behind the scenes today. John D. Arch
bold, one of the few members of the
"old guard to remain, became presi-
dent of the Standard Oil company, of
New Jersey, and will control its des-
TIMES. John D. Rockefeller was not
present at &c Broadway, the headquar-
ters of the Standard Oil company, at
the special meeting, in which his reslg-
nation was acEeQ upon.
Worlds Richest Nan?
The termination of the business
career of the man who has acquired
a unique position in history, and
amassed what is generally regarded
as the largest private fortune in the
world, was a perfunctory proceeding.
It had been planned in advance, al
though the plans had been kept Sc
cret. ALI the information vouchsafed
brief statement, announcing the
changes.
Today's action affects not only the
New Jersey company, which was the
holding company up to the time OF the
dissolution Of the great combine, but
number of other corporations in the
Standard Oil group.
Although the list of officers and dl-
rectors is virtually made. over, the &C
tive management will be changed but
little. To what extent today's action
is an outcome of the dissolution OF the
Standard Oil company was rot discuss
ed from an authoritative source.
Hastened Retirement.
It is generally understood that the
decision of the United States supreme
court merely hastened the retirement
of men whose advancing years made
if certain they could not retain their
places much longer. 1t is regarded as
probable that Mr.. Rockefeller and his
assistants thought younger men should
! reamange the affairs of Standard Oh
under the new scheme.
Mr.. Rockefeller for nearly ten years
has been only nominany associated
with Standard oil. He has visited "a
Broadway only about once year, and
his stays were usually limited to a
few minutes. After the death Of H.
II. Rogers, Mr.. Rockefeller's visits be-
came more frequent for time, until
gradually responsibility was shifted t.
Mr.. Archbold. The succession Of Nh
Archbold to the presidency was ex-
pected.

AULL SUCCEEDS WHEELER.
Vacancy in Office of County Superin-
tendent of Education Filled by
State Board.

Columbia, Dec. 1.-THE State board
of education held an all-day session
today, in the office of Governor Blease,
and acted on several matters of i'm
portance.
. Col. E. H. Aull was elected to the
position of superintendent of educa-
ton of Newberry county, to succeed
Mr.. is. Wheeler, and will assume his
duties on the first of January.
The appeals from the Lexington and
Anderson county boards were disposed
of by the actions of both boards being
upheld.
The legislature will probably be
asked to turn over all moneys in the
State treasury, from the old State dis
pensary fund, to the schools, it being
recalled that bill providing for the
distribution of those funds was vetoed
by the governor, this action Later be-
ing approved by the board on account
of defects in the bill A new bill pro-
yiding for the distribution of this fund
will probably be presented to ths next
general assembly.
Proceedings of Meeting.
The following statement was issued
by Superintendent Swearinger, follow
ing the meeting of the board:
"The State board of education held
an all-day session in the Office of the
governor Monday. All the members
were present except Superintendent
Thackston, of Orangeburg; supern-
tendent Thoms, of Darlington, aAd Mr.
H. F. Rice, of Aiken.
"The resignation Of Prof. J. s.
Wheeler, county superintendent OF
Newberry, having been accepted by
the governor, it became the duty OF
the State board to fill the vacancy. COL
3. H. Aull was chosen to fill out the
unexpired term.
can appeal case, concerning the To-
cation of the new schooll building al
Lexington court house, was argued by
E. L. Asbill, Esq, and Solicitor G. 3
Zimmerman. After carefully review
ing the record the board ordered that
the action of the Lexington county
board of education be sustained and
the appeal dismissed.
"A similar appeal, concerning AIRY
Springs school, District No. S4' OF An
derson county, was heard, and IN this
case also the decision Of the county
board was sustained.
High School Report
"The high school inspector submit
ted his report for the year. High school
concentrations were fixed for the
scholastic year 1912 and the secretary
was authorized to pay one-half OF the
funds at once. A detailed statement
of these high school apportlonments
will be furnished each county treas
,,ro,. boforo tho end of the week.
"It was decided that a special teach
ers' examination should be ordered al
every court house in the State Friday
January 12. At that time all appll-
cants for certificates and all teachers
enployed without certificates will be
given an opportunity to qualify legal
ly.
"It is probable that the legislature
will be asked to turn over to the
schools all moneys now in the State
treasury from the old State dlspensary
account. This fund will probably ex-
ceed 100000, and the act distributing
it was vetoed by the governor last
February. This action was later ap-
proved b. the i'card in consequence
of defects in the BILL"
