PASS Bill OVER VETO
HOUSE REFUSES TO sUsTAN FHE
GOVERNOR.
Takes Up Sparsanburg Rural Police
Bill and Passes 1t ia Spite Of It's
Being Vetoed.

1
In the House on Wednesday the
act providing for rural police in Spar
tanburg county was passed over tie
governors veto by vote OF IS to
"a, after a concise explanation Of the
act by Mr.. Osborne, of Sparranburs.
At 1905 Mr.. Osborne moved that
the house take up the veto message
on the appointment of rural police in
Spartanburg county together with re-
| port of the judiciary committee.
| Mr.. Osborne read the special veto
message of the governor applying to
the act. Then he took up the 3D.
jections raised by the governor. II
regard to the section of the act relat-
ing the power Of arrest, which the
governors message declared was &
clear violation Of the constitution,
Mr.. Osborne said that the power con-
ferred was not excessive nor uncon-
stitutional and cited Hypothetical
case to prove it. He explained that
! the act simply appointed a set OF
special constables.
Mr.. Osborne read portions Of acts
providing for rural police. in Green
wood, BarnwelI, Florence, Abbeville.
and Charleston, which Gov. Blease
appointed last year, showing their
similarity to the Spartanbrrg act
which he vetoed. His excellency,'
said Mr.. Osborne, Seems to have
suddenly awakened to the unconstitu-
tionality Of the act in regard to Spar
tanburg county"
The constitution, said Mr.. Osborne,
did not intend to prevent the appre-
hension of criminals. Mr.. Osborne
said that there was nothing in the
bill, which would give the policemen
the right to swear out a warrant and
serve it, which was one reason for
his veto which the governor gave. AS
to the necessity for the rural police
men, Mr.. Osborne said that protec-
ton was needed for the people living
in the rural districts Of SpartaaDurg
county.
The vote on the passage Of the act
was taken just before house ad-
journed. The vote was SO in favor
Of passing the act and 21 for uphold
ing the governors veto. Some mem
bers of the house consider that the
lines were not sharply drawn in the
votes on the act and that it cannot
be taken as an indication that the
house will pass the other acts over
the governors veto.
The names of the 21 members VIII }
voted against the motion to lass the
act providing TOR rural police Tor
Spartanburg county over the COVER
nor's veto follow: Ashley, Eailey,
Baskin, Davis, Dixon, Doar, Hamil-

CITIZENS UNION DISTURBED
Outside Candidate Gains Possession
Of Secret Mailing List.
FURAY GETS CLAIBORNE IN BAD
Editor of Advocate Assisting Union
Accused of Disposing Of List
and lie Makes Demand
for Explanation.

More trouble In the Citizens union
camp. with charges and countercharges
OF treachery.
II Is all over the escape Of the official
membership list which was supposed TO
be safely guarded. so that candidates for
endorsement could have no advantage
over one another. and be assured a
square deal.
Just before the executive committee
made up the slate It was found that the
list had gotten away and into the hands
Of asp'rsnts who were using II TO tn
duce members TO bring pressure In their
behalf When complaint was made. ac-
eusatlon was laid ,at the door of II. II.
Claiborne. publisher OF the official organ
OF the union. for whom the roster served
as a mailing list under strict injunction
Of secrecy.
At the inception OF the union the ex-
ecutiye committee had made an arrange
ment with Claiborne as editor Of The
Advocate whereby each member OF tho
union was TO receive the paper for q
term Of six months and the union was
TO use two pages OF the paper for its
work. When the members OF the pub
lieity committee OF the union charged
Mr.. Claiborne with having given the list
TO some person he Indignantly denied 1t
and demanded the basis OF the charge.
According to Claiborne this information
was refused by Ralph Sunderland. WI
liam y. Baxter and Lysle Abbott for the
Citizens union. but he was told to make
an Investigation. This he did and learned
that the list had been used by Frank A.
Furay. He says Furay admitted that
through his brother. Guy F'uray, he had
secured such a list and that he had told
members Of the executive committee that
1T was the subscription list Of a news-
paper" He promised to exonerate ciai-
borne and all persons connected with the
Advocate from completely in the delivery
Of the list to him.
Mr.. Claiborne waited until Thursday
for Mr.. Funay to redeem his promise and
on that day sent him letter demanding
that he exonerate him by telling how,
when. where and by whom the list was
! delivered to Guy Furay. Failure to an
swer this letter has brought out the fol
lowing statement from Claiborne:
Frank Furay admits he got the list
and that he used Il. He admits that he
left the members OF the executive COM
mittee under the impression that I gave
him the list. Whoever did give or sell
him the list was guilty Of breach Of
trust and was corrupted either through
lear, fraud. favoritism or downright
bribery. Mr.. Furay is the beneficiary
Of the breach OF trust and lets me be
suspected rather than that the truth be
known Do the people OF Omaha desire
70 elect as commissioner man who
profits By an act OF treache-y and throws
the odium upon an innocent person?
