OUASH CHARGES
AGAINST FOUR MEN
Former Officials in the Department of
Agriculture Will Not Be Prosecuted
For Fraud.
BY Associates Press.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Indictments
against Charles @. Elliott, former
chief drainage engineer of the depart
ment of agriculture; A. N. Mooreheuse
his assistant; f. e. Singleton, cllfei
accountant OF the department, and r,
P. Teele, formerly an accoHntant
charging them with having approved
and presented false vouchers against
the government and for which they
were dismissed from the service, were
quashed today by request of the gov
ernment.
The indictments grew out of the
Florida Everglades land inquiry and
pertained especially to payments fol
drainage in North Carolina and Okla
homa. The government in asking thai
the indictments be quashed stated thai
investigation showed there was not in
tent to defraud the government.
In both majority and minority re-
ports of the Moss committee which in
vestigated the Florida Everglades af-
fair Engineer Elliott and his associates
were declared to have been too severe
ly disciplined by the department in
dismissing them for technical violation
of the law. Elliott incurred the enmity
of certain land agents through the is
suance Of a circular letter declaring
that the government survey of the
Everglades had not proceeded far
enough to determine the agricultural
value of the land in question.

u Columbia, S. c., Aug. 30.-After a
short session this morning the Demo-
cratic state executive committee ad-
journed to meet again next Tuesday
when the gubernatorial contest win be
decided and all other contests heard.
Charges of fraud, the stuffing of
ballot boxes, with twenty thousand IL
legal votes, the voting of minors and
non-residents and the meeting of the
state executive committee have served
to turn South Carolina into a seething,
boiling caldron Of discomfort.
Yesterday Christie Bennett, secre-
tary Of the state committee, wired to
the chairman of every county execu-
tive committee in the state, and in
structed him to hold up everything in
connection with Tuesdays primary.
This action is taken to mean that
the committee wishes to be prepared
TO take drastic action If necessary and
1t wants the ballot boxes to remain in
the same condition in which they were
when the last ballot was cast. Con-
tests have been filed all over the state
and many of the county executive
committee members have refused to
consider them.
The members Of the committee be-
gan arriving here yesterday and Chair
man Gary Evans reached here at mid
night.
The following is the telegram sent
out to county chairmen by order OF the
chairman Of the state COMMITTEES:
Preserve all ballots. tally sheets,
poll lists. club rolls, managers reports
and all records until further notice
from the state executive committee
81. GARY EVANS,
chairman"
The total vote in the primary was
one hundred and forty thousand, thir-
ty-seven thousand more than in any
previous primary. This is the basis of
charges of wholesale "stuff1ng."

PRESIDENTS PRIZE COW Is
HELD UP AND ROBBED
BY Associated Press.

Canton, Ohio, Aug. 3o.-Pauline
WAYNE, President Taft's prize COW,
was held up and robbed on the White
House grounds day or two ago oy j.
F. KoehIer, instructor iE agriculture In
a high school here. Koehler, just back
from his trip to the capitol. tells how
he saw Pauline, Of whom he read,
calmly runinating on the south lawn
OF the White House grounds. His pro-
fessionaI instinct being dominant and
no policeman in sight, he determined
to see If Pauline would back leg
and give down for him.
Approaching Pauline, hat in hand
and with his best manner, Koehler
found her complaisant. Then the
ready. hat found its use, and very
quickly he obtained supply of milk,
which later he found to justify the en-
coniums that have been bestowed
upon the pride Of the White House
stables.

The Keyser -Muldon Co., the largest
exporters of sawn timber and lumber
on the gulf coast, yesterday closed
with the st. Joe Land & Development
Co. for large tract Of virgin timber
land in Liberty county, the considera-
ton for which was $1,000, 900. The
deal, which had been pending for some
weeks, was brought successfully to
close during yesterday.
The Keyser -Muldon Co. made large
purchases of timber land In Liberty

shortly afterwards erected one Of the
most modern mill plants of the country
at st. Joe. This mill is on the line of
the new railroad running into st. Joe
and the road also runs through much
of the timber now held by the COM
pany as well as through some OF that
purchased yesterday.
The standing timber embraced In
the deal of yesterday will aggregate
800, ,00o,0 900 feet, and together with
what the company already owned will
be sufficient to keep the mill in opera
ton for long period of years.
When seen by Journal representa-
tive last night VIM. s. Keyser, head
OF the firm, confirmed the report OF the
purchase, adding: I'VE already owned
large sawnnill plant and timber land
in Liberty county and have added to
our holdings by the PURCHASE of prac-
ticalIy $1,000,000 worth OF standing
timber"

Sea Girt, N. J., Aug. SO.-Tired
wrists and aching fingers reminded
Gov. woodrow Wilson today that he
had spent the most strenuous day of
his life in his trip through Pennsyl-
vania. The governor estimated that
he had spoken in his impromptu tour
OF 210 miles to nearly 10000 people and
that he had shaken hands in one day
with about 5000 individuals.
The most interesting revelation to
Governor Wilson was the fact that he
found himself making seven speeches
instead Of the one he had planned, and
that ne was just as busy on the back
platform of his train as presidential
candidates always have been and that
he was almost converted to the old
fashioned idea Of campaigning which,
at first, he had thought of abandoning
in favor Of a few scheduled addresses.
'T would enjoy all, in fact, I like it,
said the governor today, speaking of his
back platform talks, If it were not for
the speech making. 1t is difficult to
talk while engines are being switched

Washington. Aug. 3o.-In response
to the command of Associate Justices
Vandevanter and Pitney, the record OF
litigation in the fight between the Taft
and Roosevelt forces over the presi-
Dental electors in Kansas was today
filed in the supreme court here. The
main hope Of the Taft forces to secure
the Kansas electoral vote now lies in
the fight to get the supreme court to
reverse the state supreme court which
rendered decision adverse to the Taft
followers. The court probably will
dispose of the case when 1t convenes
Oct. IA.
The Taft forces claim they were
fraudulently deprived of the rights
guaranteed by the fourteenth amend
ment and that the Kansas court held
the rights claimed are political and
not judicial. They claim If this inter
probation Is correct, the Kansas pri-
mary law is unconstitutional.

Washington. Aug. S0.-Senor de la
cueva, in charge OF the Mexican em-

the present unsettled conditions in

Gov. Wilson Well Pleased With
His First Trip of the Campaign

around you and the noises OF the rail-
road yards are distracting. If 1 didn't
have to make speeches, and could just
shake hands, wouldn't mind it at all,
because the people seem so straight
forward, so hearty and so sincere"
The governor plainly was pleased by
the thousands who greeted him along
the journey, the more so because his
receptions along the line were not
planned, his special car being attached
to a regular train.
The governor liked his Pennsylvania
speeches so well that he may make
more speeches there. He goes to
Scranton, Pa, on September 10. Indi-
cations are that he will concentrate
his campaign in the next month on
New York and Pennsylvania and
more speeches in the latter state may
be looked for. The state committee
men of Pennsylvania, who accom-
panied the governor, urged him to do
so.
The governor had before him today
the prospect of more handshaking. He
was to visit the Monmouth county fair
at Red Bank, n. J.
