EASY, HONORABLE WAY OUT

The French ambassador, at one of
the superb dinners at the embassy In
Washington, said Of diplomacy:
Diplomacy may be defined as
way out-an easy, pleasant, honorable
way out.
"A young royalist duke, from a story
current about him, is well versed In
diplomacy.

was thrown at his head-so much Sc.

be held until the inquest.
Sheriff Coleman and Coroner Walker
questioned Mr.. DuBose in a private
room In the sanitarium Exactly what
he told them is not known. They went
down on the second floor of the build
ing to search for the knife in the
bottom of the light we'll again. Then
they held another conference with
Mr.. DuBose. They went with him to
his room on Lady street, and the knife
was produced from pocket of a coat
Lent Him the Knife.
Mr.. DuBose told the officers that
ne had lent Mr.. Stuckey his knife,
which he had asked for with the pen
Gil. When he went in search of his
friend and saw him lying on the bed
with blood all over the pillow, Mr..
DuBose told the officers he took the
pocket knife up and put it in his pock-
ct. Then he notified DR.. Thomas of
what had happened to Mr. Stuckey.

commented on the fact that, although
parts of the fingers and the back of
Mr.. Stuckey's right hand were blood
smeared, his palm and the lower Joints
of his tigers had no blood on them.
This was taken as an indication that
he held the knife in his hand and con-
forms to Mr.. DuBose's final statement
to Sheriff Coleman and Coroner Walk

1t is expected that the inquest today
Will go far toward clearing up the
mystery which surrounds the knife
with which Mr.. Stuckey met his death.
Relatives of the late James d.
Stuckey were expected to arrive in Co
lumbia last night from Bishopville.
They were notified as soon as the trag-
edy was discovered. Mr.. Stuckey was
apparently a man of about 40 years of
age and weighed over 175 pounds. He

INFLUENCE OF WEST POINT
Cadet on Homo Visit Surprises Young
Brother and Teaches Him
Good Lesson.

When Bob, our gallant West Point
cadet, came home for his long fur
Tough, he slept with 12-year-old Dick.
In the morning he thoroughly shocked
Master Lazybones by stripping the
clothes from the bed and putting the
room in good order before he came
down to breakfast. Dicks eyes were
rounder than ever when Bob explained
that every cadet was required to keep
his room and clothes in immaculate
condition. Before the end Of Bobs
furlough the boys had turned the cozy
little room into bare apartment
which Dick cared for with great pride
The wholesome discipline and results
OF the West Point training seem to us
to offer valuable lessons to American
parents and teachers.
Shortly after Bob's visit the question
OF extra spending money worked itself
out in very satisfactory way. Dick
often teased for things that were be-
yond the limits of his moderate allow
ance. He is now able to add to his
income by working around the house
and grounds Each hour of conscieii-
tious effort adds six cents to his al
lowance. Consequently he is eager to
wash dishes, sweep, weed. paint, wash
windows, and do many other things
that he formerly regarded as particu-
larly obnoxious.
His parents and friends have noticed
with amusement that the money he
has earned Is spent with much greater
discrimination than that which is given
to him.-Harper's Bazaar.

j. ID. Stuckey's Throat Cut I'm Local
Sanitarium-J. A. DuBose in Custody
Columbia, April 29-J. A. DuBose
OF Bishopville, travelling salesman,
was arrested last night on the charge
OF having murdered his friend, j. d.
Stuckey of Bishopville, a wealthy
planter who was found lying on his
bed with his throat cut in a local san
1tarium last night about S:15 o'clock
After an investigation by Sheriff Cole
man and Coroner Walker, which lasted
for over three hours, Mr. DuBose was
arrested
There was every indication that Mr..
Stuckey had committed suicide except
that the knife with which he cut his
throat could not be located anywhere
in his room. The knife, a double
bladed bone-handle instrument, was
found In pocket Of coat belonging
to Mr.. DuBose in his room on Lady
street. There were two small splotches
of blood on the blade.
After the knife was found Mr.. Du-
Bose said that he lent 1t to Mr. Stuck
ey and picked it up when he found
him dead in his room
An inquest over the remains of Mr.
Stuckey, who was prominent and
widely connected citizen of Bishop
Vile, will be held some time today.
Wanted to See Him.
Before his arrest last night, Mr.. Du-
Bose, who seemed deeply shocked
talked very freely about the affair. He
said that a relative of his friend, Mr.
Stuckey, told him at the Jerome hoteI
yesterday afternoon that he was un-
dergoing treatment at the sanitariuG
and would like to see him.
Mr.. DuBose came to the sanitariun
about $50 o'clock last night and talk
ed to his friend in the sitting room
Mr.. Stuckey had been suffering Will
delirium tremens, according to DR.. Nj
NJ. Rice, and had told several people
at the sanitarium that he was afrait
OF being arrested. Mrs. Stuckey, who
had been at the sanitarium with hel
husband ever since he came to Co
lumbia week ago, left for her home
in Bishopville yesterday afternoon
after telling those in charge of the
patients to keep a close watch over
Mr. Stuckey, as she was afraid he
would do himself injury.
Mr.. DuBose said last night that Mr.
Stucky, whom he had known fol
years, told him about his hallucina
tions and he advised him to think O

Mr. DuBose then informed DIR. o. E..
Thomas, manager Of the sanitarium,
that Mr.. Stuckey's throat had been
cut. DR.. Thomas telephoned for a
physician first and then for Coroner
Walker, who arrived about S:2O
o'clock
The coroner found Mr.. Stuckey
lying full length on one Of the three
beds in his room at the sanitarium
His left arm lay across his chest and
his right arm was straight down his
side. There was a long, deep cash on
the left side Of his throat, but there
was no knife in his hand, nor could
one be found on the bed or in the
room, window, opening into a light
well, was opened, and it was thought
that the knife might have been thrown
out of it, but a search was made with
out success.

note, written in scrawling hand
with pencil on scrap OF pasteboard
was found lying on table in the
room. The note read: II am innocent
God Knows It," The latter part of the
signature on the note was almost
illegible, but the first name, Jim
could be easily read The last name
began with an S.
The fact that Mr.. Stuckey was sub
ject to hallucinations due to delirium
tremens the finding of the note, the
position of the body and the distribu-
tion of he blood about the bed, all
led to the belief that he had commit
ted suicide, but the knife with which
the deed was done could not be found
Coroner Walker questioned Mr. Du-
Bose, the negro porter and others in
the sanitarium. Afterwards Mr.. Du-
Bose said that if he were not needed
he would go to his room on Lady
street. He came back in short while
In the meantime, after he had made Q
futile search for the knife, Coroner
Walker notified Sheriff Coleman. All
undertaken removed the body of Mr.

the national comittee shall be elected.
In other respects the rules that gov
erned the Republican convention OF
four years ago were adopted 20 TO
The steam roller amendment pro-
vidss that when any member Of the
committee bolts or refuses to support
the nominee of the Republican party,
he shall be summarily deposed-
The committee then is empowered 10
name his successor IN the past the
successorship was dictated by the state
central committee of the sta te atfected.
The rules committee, however, held
that this would give to state the op-
portunity to name to the vacancy
man holding precisely the same views
as the member deposed. therefore, II
was decided that the power OF appoint
ment should be delegated solely to the
committee itself Recognition OF the
primary system of election OF members
of the committee was contained IN an
amendment providing that when state
laws provide for the election of a ma
tional committeeman, such election
shall be considered nomination to be
carried into effect by the delegation
from the state. Under this change a
state electing its national committee
man by direct primary vote would take
from fts convention delegation entirely
the right to name any other nominee.
The adoption of this amendment
however. was not accomplished until
the primary system had been severely
criticised in debate by II. l.. RENAL, of
Arkansas. and Gov. Carroll. Of Iowa
Ezra Elliott. of Colorado. was equal
" vigorous in his attack on the primary
system. but he found time to put in a
good word for woman's suffrage.
1t was denied emphatically that the
changes were made there to prevent
any further serious interference from
the national committee with state af-
fairs or to throw a sop to the socaued
progressive" states.
The rules as adopted will govern the
present convention. but the change in
that section of the rules affecting the
national committee will not become .ef-
fective until the new committee is
named by the convention.
