ENSIGN DROWNs IN HUDSON


New York. Oct. 13.-Ensign Andes
Haidley Butler. u. S. NJ, appointed
from Louisiana to the United States

graduated last spring. was dro~ ned
In the Hudson river today. while re-
turning with three fellow officers to

land in the line Of the great Atlantic
armada. at anchor here for presi-
dental review. In another accident
on the river. six sailors from the bat
tleship Maine. rescued IL persons
from drowning. 1t is estimated that
100000 sightseers. many attracted
from IL sections Of the country,
boarded the larger ships Of the fleet
and that more than 100000 persons
viewed the fleet from shore during the
day and this evening when the ships
were again Illuminated.
The accident In which Ensign But

found hard to explain. He and his
party had spent the night In the city
and were on the way back to the ship
In small private launch. The little
boat was making headway with diff
ficulty against the strong tide. When
still SO feet from the battleship young
Butler was seen TO step out from
beneath the canopy and to pitch into
the water. II Is believed he thought
mistakenly that the launch had a
sort OF running board outside the can
opy as naval launches have, and that
he intended to step on this to max =
preparations for the landing. The
strong tide carried him down and
under the battleship. One of his COM
panions dived for him. but was un-
able To- reach him and was rescued
with difficulty. Buffers body had not
been recovered at late hour to-
night.

A Grand Jury Docs It's Duty.


Columbia State.
The grand jury Of Sumter county
has handed Judge Spain a special pre-
sentdssnt directing attention to a con-
dition In that county that II coun-
tenanced will be a disgrace to the
county and to South Carolina The
grand Jury refers to the situation as a
disgrace TO Sumter county.
The facts have been already re-
ported In The State. Ten days ago a
rural policeman and a constable ar
rested two negro girls wanted az wit
ne1es at the Sumter county court In
stead Of taking them to Sumter. how
ever. these "ofYiccrs OF the law de-
.!s,1 .sio.r lrsOaers IN the woods
over night. and then released them.
The girls returned to their homes and
reported they had been criminally as
sauited. The officers indicated their
guilt by fleeing before charges were
preferred against them, and the
grand jury reports that they are bar
ricaded In a swamp"
The magistrate nearest the place
where the fugitives are prepared to
resist arrest reports he can do moth
ing TO uphold the dignity Of the law,
because he can not get constables to
act. The sheriff sent" a posse into
the Shiloh section. where the men
are hiding. with instructions 70 make
arrest IL possible" but the posse ac-
complished nothing.
The grand jury urges Judge Spain
to put In molten the process neces-
sary" to accomplish the arrest Of the
fugitives "irresr ective of whatever
cost may be attached thereto. even
calling upon the State militia " nee
essary."
We hope the Circuit Judge will find
way To inspire some respect for the
law. IL is outrageous that such
condition should be permitted for a
day In South Carolina. IL Is a direct
menace to every unprotected or ex-
posed white woman In rural South
Carolina. because II the hands OF the
law become purposely palsied wi en-
law officers criminally assault negro
girls In their custody. the spirit II
retaliation and revenge will inevitably
be bred In black breasts. When the
white machinery of the white mans
laws glaringly fails to act when
negros are victims OF white men.
what grounds have the whites 90 ex-
pect cooperation by negroes I'm appre-
hending negroes charged with such
crimes?
The grand jury Of Sumter has done
its duty.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

The securing Of Mike Donlin by Pitts
burgh is taken to mean that Fred Clarke
will make good his threat not to play
ball any more. Donlin has undoubtedly
been secured to fill the gap which the
absence of Clarke would leave on the
Pittsburgh team. The coming back of
Donlin is really a genuine surprise. 1t
is more remarkable than the case OF
Jimmy Callahan. When Donlin Joined
the Giants last summer he failed to show
any Of his real form and McGraw sent
him to Boston. It was some time before
Mike got to going, but when he did he
was the same great player Of old. He
very wisely made the trip to Cuba with
the Giants in order to get more practice,
and while there proved that he had really
come back. at
When Clarkes hitting and fielding are
taken into consideration Donlin is really
the only man who could be picked to fill
his place with any degree Of certainty.
Though Donlin has been in the game for
some years, he is not an old fellow by
any means, and because Of his exemplary
habits of recent years he is undoubtedly
a more valuable man for a team now
than he was several years ago.
1t is by no means certain that George
Stovall will play first base for the
Browns. Judged on the splendid show
ing which Kut1na made last fall, that
youngster stands a good chance to con-
tinue to hold down that position. But
there are other places where Stovall
could be used. He has played right field.
where he should prove q valuable man
because Of his hitting. Having disposed
of Stovall should be a great relief
to Harry Davis. It would not have been
a congenial condition to have the former
manager on the team, and no doubt Davis
was willing to sacrifice him for little or
nothing rather than carry him along.
The opinion that Walter johnson will
be handicapped the coming season be-
cause he will not have his former battery
partner. Street. to handle his delivery
is not shared by Manager Griffith. He
holds that Johnson is not hard to catch
and that either Henry or Ainsrnith will
fill the BILL Griffith has formed a high
opinion of these two young catchers be-
cause he has been offered all sorts OF
trades for either one of them. At the
recent meeting in Chicago nearly every
club in the league preached the sub
ject of a trade for one of these young
catchers. AS these offers came from man
ayers who had seen both Of them work
last season, Griffith took it for granted
that his young catchers must have shown
or all the other clubs would
not be after them. He proposes to have
Henry and Ainsmith alternate behind the
bat every day and by consistent work

'Tf the only thing standing in our way
Of winning the pennant was the fact that
we had no one to catch Walter johnson
1 would have the flag pole in center field
right now" remarked Clark Griffith this
morning in commenting on the expressed
fear that with Street gone the team had
no one to catch Johnson.
Nothing could be more absurd" he
continued. Let Henry and Ainsmith
start to handling Johnson's delivery from
the time that the team goes into train
ing and they will be used to him by the
time the season opens, and they will
catch him as well as any other catcher.
johnson, to my way of thinking. is easy
to catch for the reason that he is true.
The fact that he has a lot of speed mat
tiers not, for a fast ball is easier to
handle than a lot of shoots and curves.

delivery will be as we'll handled next sea-
