Boy Killed by Automobile.

Elizabeth, N. j., Feb. 9.-Frank
w. Denman, a nine-year-old boy,
died early to-day from injuries re-
ceived last evening when he was run
down by an automobile while coast
ing on his sled. The automobile was
driven by George Robertson, the au-
tomobile racing driver, and in the
car was Burton S. Brown, a New
York newspaper man. The automo-
bile had just turned the corner when
Denman on his sled shot suddenly
from under fence which runs along
the road and passed in front OF the
machine. Robertson tried In vain
to stop the car, but the wheels passed
over the boys body. Brown and
Robertson picked the boy up and car
ried him to nearby house and medi-
cal aid was summoned. Denman
died this morning. Robertson and
Brown will be arraigned tomorrow

MISS GARDEN IN GREEK TOGS.

Philadelphia, Feb. Howard
Shelly, local press agent for Mary
Garden, in respons. to a letter re-
ceived from the prima donna, an
nounced that she is about to wear
old-time Grecian costumes for both
street and house wear, because she
has found them so comfortable.
Miss Garden had her first expert
ence with the Grecian costume in
Chicago at reception in a wonder
full silver gauze garment of most dia-
phanous texture. Beneath the flimsy
tunic the songstress wore a white
satin robe. She did not wear corsets
with the costume, and she writes
that she never felt more comfortable.
Now she declares she wants to adopt
the Grecian styles of a thousand
years ago, including bare feet and
all the trimmings. She also advises
all young women to follow her lead

INTRODUCES TWO NEW BILLS.
Representative Lever Author OF
Measures in National House.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Represen-
tative A. F. Lever, of South Carolina,
has introduced two bills in the house,
cne to regulate and encourage the
use of water power and the other to
prevent monopoly of stock grazing
ranges in the public domain.
The first bill gives the heads of
the respective government depart
ments concerned the right to lease
power sites and provides for board,
consisting of one member each, ap-
pointed by the secretary of war, agri-
culture, commerce and labor, and the
attorney general to pass finally on
each lease, which must provide for
full development and continuous op-
Grafton under proper regulations to
protect the public interest. Moneys
from such leases are to constitute a
fund to be expended on rivers and
watersheds for the improvement of
water power supply, irrigation and
navigation.
The second bill, which affects an
area of amount one-sixth of the
United States, provides for the estab-
lishment of grazing districts by proc
lamation of the president, and au-
thorizes the secretary of agriculture
to regulate the amount of stock to
be grazed annually within districts
and the fees, which must not be be-
low one-half cent per acre or more
than four cents per acre per annum
for the first ten years: Mr.. Lever
believes that if his bill we're enacted
into law twice as much stock would
be grazed on the public range as at
present and overcrowding any range
would cease.

Express Companies Earnings.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Frank Ly-
on, attorney for the interstate COM
merce commission, has submitted tC
that body as part of the investiga-
ton into express rates an exhibit
showing the total receipts and earn
ings Of these concerns since their
organization. In arriving at it's de-
cision the commission will be guided
largely by these figures.
For the period covered the total
gross receipts of the Adams, Ameri-
can, Wells Fargo, Southern, United
States, Great Northern, Globe and
National Express companies was
s795,306,721, of which s397,65S,'
S60.5O was paid to the railroads as
their share. The net profits of the
express companies was s294,043,2S5,
and the total dividends paid by them
was s212,9S5,392.
These enormous earnings were
made on property now valued by the
companies themselves at only $685.

in their treasury sS1,957,9Ss, de-
rived from overcharges and divi-
dends due stockholders who have not

BLEASE AND GRACE HAVE SPLIT.
Their Political Friendship is Now at
an End.

The political friendship that has
existed between Mayor Grace and
Gov. Blease is at an end. No state
ment for publication regarding the
breaking off of relations has been
made by either party, but that rup-
ture has come appears to be fact.
There has been talk for, some
weeks of break in the alliance that
meant so much to Blease when he
was running for governor, and these
rumors were confirmed on Thursday
night, when Mayor Grace, in a speech
at the German Rifle Club ball, told
his hearers that year ago they had
had promises made to them and had
found them to be promises only. Al
though the mayor mentioned no
names, few who heard the speech or
who read the report of it in the
News and Courier the next day
doubted that the promises referred
to were those made by Gov. Blease.
AS further confirmation of the ru-
mors of a rupture comes the report
from Columbia that the mayor while
in the Capital City recently had criti-
cised the governor severely.
No statement could be secured
from Mr.. Grace regarding the mat
ter the mayor preferring to remain
silent for the present at any rate.
Nor could any statement be had from
Gov. Blease regarding the rupture.
That the trouble either arose in or
eliminated in the governors actions
in connection with the dispensary
constables here Is the common be-
lief. The constables, some of them
at any rate, worked against Candi-
date Grace in the recent municipal
campaign, the report being that they
had been instructed from Columbia
to do o.-Charleston News and
Courier.

JONES GETS BUSY.
Opens Headquarters of His Campaign
for GovernOrship.

Columbia, Feb. 12.-Mr. Ira B.
Jones, candidate for governor, has
gone to work in earnest, to win the
fight upon which he entered actively
when his resignation as chief justice
took effect just one month ago. He
will conduct his campaign from Co.
lumbia, and he has opened up head
quarters in the Berkeley building,
opposite the Richland court house,
and has equipped his Office there. 1t
is understood to be the intention of
Mr.. Jones to spend the next few
months visiting the different por-
tions of the State, as his long SER
vice on the supreme bench, while it
has made his name known to and re-
spected by the people, has kept him
apart from active politics and he pro-
poses to get acquainted personally
with as many of the voters as pos
sible.
On this account largely he will
place his headquarters here in
charge of campaign manager and
Mr.. J. William Thurmond will act in
that capacity. Mr.. Thurmond is well
equipped for the work. He is him
self well acquainted throughout the
State, and aside from his reputation
as a careful and learned lawyer, he
is rated as one of the most level head
ed politicians in the State. Mr..
Thurmond served in the house of
representatives with Mr.. Jones, and
placed him in nomination for the su-
preme court, when the then speaker
of the house was elected associate
Justice. Mr.. Thurmond afterward
served several terms as solici-
tor of the Fifth circuit, which
then embraced the counties of Rich
land, Kershaw, Lexington, Edgef1eld
and Saluda. He had number of
difficult cases to handle as solicitor
and discharged his duty without fear
or favor. Since retiring from that
Office he has been engaged in active
practice at Edgefeld, his home, and
has appeared in several important
cases.
1t will not be long now before the
preliminaries of the gubernatorial
and ether State contests will open
up. The precinct club meetings will
mark the first stages of the campaign
and then will come the county con-
ventions and the State convention in
May. Gen. Willie Jones, who has
been chairman of the State Demo
cratic executive committee for so
many years, has reiterated recently
his determination to retire, and he
will not again be a candidate for State
chairman. This position is filled by
the State executive committee itself,
which meets prior to the State con-
vention.

Hearing in Winn Murder Case.

Hampton, Feb. 10.-A preliminary
hearing in the case of Mrs. Ella
Wheeler Wells and Owen Robertson,
charged with the murder of young
Walker Winn, at Fechtig, last Sep
tember, was begun here to-day, but
after the testimony of three wit
nesses was adjourned at the request
of the prosecution until Tuesday of
next week. The State agreed to a
reasonable bail for Robertson, which
will be arranged at Aiken. Mrs.
Wells is out on a $4,000 bond, grant
ed yesterday by Judge Copes. There
was large crowd present at the
hearing, which was conducted by
Magistrate J. G. Murdaugh. Interest
is keen in the case and when it is
taken up again on Tuesday it is ex-
pected that there will be even a
greater crowd on hand.
The first witnesses to-day were
Drs. T. B. Whatley, Of Early Branch !;
G. A. Rusch, of Hampton, and w.
Boyden Minis, the chemist of Colum-
bia, who made examination of the
stomach of the murdered man in a
search for poison. Their testimony
was the same as that given before
the coroner, namely, that there was
found deadly poison in the intes-
tines Of the deceased.
Probably one of the most sensa-
tional bits of testimony adduced was
the declaration of T. A. Tindal, who
swore that Owen Robertson, one of
the defendants, had told him (Tin-
daD of the following conversation
he had with Lillian Winn, wife of the
deceased:
'sAin't you the man that hired to
kill Walker?" To which Robertson
is alleged to have replied, "Shut
you - mouth"

NAY GET FREEDOM SOON.
President Expected to Grant Pardon
in Remarkable Case.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 11.-Favorable
action by President Taft on a peti-
ton for pardon, which is confidently
expected by the officials of the feder-
al penitentiary here, will release,
probably some time this month,
Thomas Bran, one of the most
unique prisoners in the prison.
Bran was sailor and was convict
ed, in 1896 in Boston, of the murder
of his captain and two others on the
high seas. He always has proclaim
ed his innocence and, according to
Warden Meyer and other officials of
the prison, his record there bears out
this claim. In all the Is years of his
Imprisonment he never has given
way to fits Of despair, he spends his
time ministering to others and has
become noted for his cheerful smile.
This, it is said, is extremely unusual
even for short time prisoners.
The sailor has made several efforts
to regain his freedom. Recently he
enlisted the aid and sympathy Of At
torney Dan W. Rountree, OF Atlanta,
who, after a thorough investigation,
placed his case before. the attorney
general and the president.
The crime for which Bran is serv-
ing life sentence was committed on
the night of July 13, 1895, while
Bran was in charge of the night
watch. After the discovery Of the
murders, Bran had sailor named
Brown placed in irons, charged with
the crime. This man, it was claim
ed, accused Bran and the crew also
placed him in irons and carried both
to Boston, where the trial was held,
resulting in Bram's conviction.
In reopening the case the fact is
brought out that Charles Brown, the
seaman first accused, once was con-
fined in an insane asylum because OF
maniacal outburst. This, together
with Bram's remarkable conduct for
Is years, is made the basis of the pc
tition for pardon.

Society Belle Drunk on Street.

Atlanta, Feb. S.-"Play me that
Dooblin rag" sang Maggie Cowan, a
peach of blonde in a stylish dress
and picture hat, as she sailed down
Peachtree street last night and stag
gered into the first drug store.
Quite crowd followed to see what
next. Maggie gave wide swipe with
her beautifully gloyed arm that sent
half a dozen bottles of perfumery
and hair tonic crashing to the floor;
then she pulled her picture hat down
at more rakish angle than ever
and began to sing again.
By this time it became quite ap-
parent that Maggie was having the
time of her life. The only doubtful
question was whether it was beer or
champagne or whiskey, or all three
mixed.
After she had entertained the
crowd for some 10 minutes, police
man, summoned by the druggist, ap-
peared on the scene. Now, police
men in Atlanta have to know an aw-
full lot And this policeman did. He
tok one Mortified look at Maggie and
then he arrested her, did he not?
Answer, he did not. He hurriedly
whispered something in the drug
gist's ear, and Maggie was shown to
a seat in the rear of the establish
ment. Then he hurriedly telephoned
for a closed carriage and to another
address, When the closed carriage
came, the policeman deferentially as
sisted Maggie inside and had her
driven straight to her perfectly re-
spectacle home on avenue.
This little story is exactly true, ex-
cept for one detail. The inebriated
lady's name was not Maggie Cowan.
If her real name was used, it would
make better story.
