WOMAN SENT TO JAIL.
Miss Belle Yoe is Held in Contempt
of Court.

Greenwood, April 10.-A most un-
usual event in South Carolina court
happenings was the commitment to
Jail here this morning of Miss Belle
Yoe by order OF Judge Sease for con-
tempt of court. She was adjudged in
contempt of court because she had
refused to vacate certain lands con-
demned by the town of Greenwood,
such condemnation being recently af-
firmed by the supreme court.
Judge Sease issued a rule yester-
day for Miss Yoe to show cause why
she should not be adjudged in con-
tempt of court. In answer to the rule
Miss Yoe appeared in court this
morning and when questioned by his
honor stated that she had not been
contemptuous but always very re-
spectful to the court. Judge Sease
then recited the case to her and the
affirmation of the verdict of the cir
cult court by the State supreme court
and asked her why she did not obey
the order of the court and move off
the condemned lands. Miss Yoe
answered that it was her home, left
by her parents. Judge Sease ordered
the sheriff to take charge of her and
commit her to jail for period of 80
days for contempt of court, but ad-
ded that if she decided to obey the
courts order to vacate that she
should be liberated.
Miss Yoe readily accompanied the
deputy sheriff, D. T. Major, to the
jail, where she now is. Coming into
court she brought with her a large
bouquet of flowers. She laid these
down on the outside before going in,
but when she came out she picked
them up and carried them on to jail
with her. On the way over she asked
what would be the outcome at the
end of 80 days. Whether this is an
indication that she means to remain
the 80 days is not known.
To insist upon occupying the prem
ises on her release would doubtless
mean constant arrest and imprison-
ment, since the court has adjudged
her in contempt The land in ques-
ton is about 70 acres and adjoins the
present tract owned by the town of
Greenwood and used by the water
and light plant. The land was con-
demned under statutory proceedings
to protect the watershed of the water
supply of the town.

Blease Appoints-Ignores Law.

Columbia, April 11.-Gov. Blease
to-day appointed a board Of township
commissioners for Beaufort county.
With two exceptions, the names are
different from those fixed by an act
of the general assembly at its re-
cent session. The supreme court will
decide on the legality Of the ap-
pointments.
In 1911 Senator Christensen rec
commended to the governor certain
names for appointment on this
board. The governor ignored the
recommendations and appointed 9th
ers. At the legislative session this
year Senator Christensen got through
a bill which abolished the governor
board and named others. Thus a
new board was created by law. The
appointments made by the governor
to-day ignore this law and name
others.
Attorney General Lyon says he
will institute a case in the supreme
court at the session this month to
test which board is legally appoint
ed. The attorney general recently
advised the supervisor Of Beaufort
county to recognize the board nam
ed in the special law and stated that
he thought the courts would uphold
him.

Aiken, April 10.-Solicitor B. L.
Gunter was very much incensed this
morning when he learned that nearly
all the witnesses for the State who
have been bound over in the Beacn
case had been corralled by the law
vers for the defense, their million
aire employers in some instances
having appeared in person at the
MAGISTRATES Office and stood their
bonds, then openly advised these wit
nesses to go direct to the office OF
Beach's lawyer.
81 consider that an unfair ad-
VANTAGE declared Solicitor Gunter,
who stated that he had shown Beacn
every consideration in this matter
and had been disposed to accept any
reasonable sort of a guarantee that
Beach would return here in 6O days
time in lieu of pressing the matter
of his extradition from Europe. we
don't want to cause Beach any un-
necessary humiliation. He said to-
days developments, however, may
mean a change in tactics. One OF
Beach's LAWYERS stated to Mr.. Guntec
to-day that Mr.. Beach would be pack
in Aiken when he was wanted Tor
trial. to which Mr.. Gunter slgnlr-
cantly replied: 81 am positive OF
that" However, the solicitor, VINO
was not in very amiabls mood over
the matter of the witnesses, did not
care to state this afternoon just what
he is doing toward bringing Beacn
hack nor what his next move will be.
"You may rest assured that we
mean business" he said, I'VE mean
to have him here.
Solicitor Gunter also stated to some
of Beach's friends that should Beach
return to Aiken and express will
ingness to enter a plea of guilt to the
charge against him at the June term
of court. he would recommend to the
Judge that the plea be accepted in
which event the judge would assess
. small fine, probably less than SlOO.
All the evidence in the case has
been turned over to the solicitor.
Solicitor Gunter was aroused from
his bed at a late hour last night
when a dispatch from firm OF New
York lawyers who have been retain

Baby Starts Theatre. Riot.

New York, April ia young
man and a girl entered the New Star
Theatre at One Hundred and Sev-
enth street and Lexington avenue
yesterday afternoon and found seats
far in front, she on one side of the
aisle, he on the other. Seated next
the girl was a man with a small baby
in his arms. He said:
II expected to put this baby in
that seat. Why did you take it,"
The girl did not reply. The man
placed the child in her lap, saying:
"See that you take good care of
the baby, now that you have it's
seat"
The girl showed the baby back on
the man, only to have it thrust on
her a second time. She and the man
were passing the baby back and forth
when the man pinched her arm and
said roughly:
Next time I'll do worse than
that"
The girl screamed and her escort
came. He struck the man in the eye
with his fist. Ushers came-many
of them-but, before they arrived
the fight was general. Everybody
was standing and women were
screaming. In the meantime the
man with the girl was giving good
account of himself with his fists.
The man with the baby disappeared
with the yelling infant.
The girl who refused to hold the
baby was Miss Sarah Rosenschultz
of No. 800 East One Hundred and
Harry Gidelson of No. 1873 East One
Hundredth street. Both were allow
ed to go on their promise to appear
against Jensen, who was charged
with assault.

SOLICITOR GUNTER WILL
PUSH CASE AGAINST BEACH
Rather Incensed But Very Determined. Would
Not State What Steps Would Be
Taken to Bring Him Back.

ed in the case for the defense was
read to him. The New York lawyers
wanted to know what steps the So
licitor would take to bring Beach
back to Aiken, but the solicitor
would not state.
Special agent Baughn stated this
afternoon that he was at work on a
newly discovered trail which prom
ises, he said, to develop additional
testimony but would not say what it
was.
He did state positively, however,
that if Pearl Hampton, the negro
woman, persisted in her refusal to
give any information concerning the
events of that night in February
when both she and Mrs. Beach were
attacked by the same man, she will
be prosecuted at the June term of
court as an accessory before the fact.

Hood River, Ore.-The citizens Of
the Oak Grove district, armed with
the family weapons and followed by
