month the twenty-nine safety commit
ltees meet Nor is that all. The cen.
| trail committee composed OF the nign.
est officials of the road with MT
Switzer, have to set aside any other
kind of business and meet upon the
appointed time in safety session once
each month. The general committees
out over the line discuss safety and
watch every way and thing about their
several departments for means OF
avoiding dangers, and these are taken
up in meeting each month and recon-
mendations made to the central COM
mittee.
Aid the Public.
The idea Of the safety department
! is not alone to safeguard employees
rather it is to avoid accidents among
the trespassers, nor. are these what
are commonly known as hobcs. Iney
are in reality the every day man,
woman or child that is travelling or
coming in contact with the railroads IN
some manner each day although hav-
ing no connection through employment
with the roads. There is SHOWN by
statistics that the greater NUMBER OF
injuries and deaths on the railroads
are not among railroad employees but
trespassers instead. Hence it will be
seen why the general public is IN
yited to be present at the lecture FIJI
dav night. 1t is especially desired by
the safety committee that the wives
and womenfolks Of the employees be
present and that they impress upon
the men the necessity for thinking

NINE WOMEN ESCAPE
FROM HOSPITAL

Mt. Pleasant. June. 18.-Nine OF the
women patients in one OF the Waros
OF the inebriate department OF the
hospital made their escape Sunday
and decided to leave town. They
evidently had been planning on this
for some time and waiting for favor
able opportunity. In some way they
secured the proper keys to let them
out and came through to sets of doors
Five of them with grips and lug
gage in hand appeared at the depot
that evening ready to take the mid
night train, but they were taken IN by
Night Officers Barnes and Wilson,
who had been apprised of their escape
and who were on the lookout for them.
These patients in this department
are not violent or vicious, but grew
restless with their confinement and
preferred to be out rather than locked
up taking the prescribed treatmet.
Four of the patients had not been
located up last evening. These four
apparently had decided they would not
try to leave by train.

ARE EATING UP
. RESERVED SEATS
OUT OF TOWN FANS ARE GET.
TING JUMP ON LOCALS
TAGS GOING FAST.

A desire to be unencumbered with
the worry of having to procure tickets
when they arrive in the city, has
caused the out of town baseball fans
either consciously or unconsciously,
to get the jump on the local bugs on
the reserved seat tags. Secretary
Hutchinson was radiantly joyful this
morning when he was permitted to an.
swer the question. How Is the
ticket sale, Hutch?" Lovely, just
lovely" he calculated, 1.-The out OF
town people are literally eating 'em
up for this time of the game. l ex-
pect we will have larger representa-
ton here from outside the city than
we ever had before
Secretary Hutch further declared
that local bugs were allowing the visi-
tors to get all the good seats in the
grand stand. Remember, insects that
all seats in the grand stand and the
boxes will be reserved at a six-bit
figure. A good portion Of these select
fops are already gone and the secre-
tary is daily receiving many seventy
five cent pieces for the pasteboards,
some OF the fans living 100 miles
away.
It behooves the Ottumwa gents to
secure their reserves for self and
ladies before the suburbanites pick out
the best.
Preparations are underway every
where to handle the biggest crowd
ever gathered in Ottumwa at ball
game. You can talk about the big
''sirkus" all you want to, but give the
restaurants. hotels and refreshment
houses of Ottumwa the exhibition ball
games for business. Already they are
figuring out how to handle the crowds.
Sox game is creating some stir in
these parts.
The managerial staff Is also busy,
trying to get hold of beer and booze
kegs to extend the bleachers. 1t may
be said they are experiencing some
difficulty for Ottumwa is a dry town.
The only thing local bugs need re-

leave the train, was presenting her

she recognized him. With a purely me-

MANY CANDIDATES ARE
IN SOUTH CAROLINA RACE.
Mayor John P. Grace, of Char
IeStonI Announces His
Break With BIeaSe
- staT correapondent.l


Journal Bureau,
Jerome Hotel
COLUMBIA, S. c.. June s.-With the
opening Of the state campaign but ten
days of. candidates are beginning to file
their pledges with the state chairman
of the executive committee and with the
secretary of state. The pledge with
the state chairman is that the candi-
date will abide by the result Of the
primary and that with the secretary of
state that the candidate will use no
money or liquors to secure votes.
The pledges so far filed with the sec
rotary of state are those of Governor
Blease, for governor; D. W. McLaurin
and S. T. Carter, candidates for state
treasurer; r. NJ MCGOWAN, candidate
for reelection as secretary of state.
and G. W. Ragsdale, candidate for con-
gress from the Fifth district.
The others will follow quickly, as the
entries close June II. The executive
committee meets next Tuesday to fix
the assessments for candidates. Some
of the candidates, 1t is thought, are
awaiting the result of this meeting, that
they may file their pledges and pay their
assessments at the same time
The progress of the campaign for the
past week was marked by the currency
of the rumor that Governor Blease
would withdraw from the governors
race and become candidate for the
senatorship against Senator B. r. Till
man and by the governors emphatic de-
NAL of the irumOr and his actual entry
in the governorship race.
The political Ssituation in Charleston
county has become interesting since
Mayor John P. Grace, through his pa
per, Common Sense, publicly announced
his break with the Blease forces. but he
has not so far announced his adherenco
to the Jones faction. Daniel Sinkler.
of Charleston, one Of the leaders of the
Grace faction, was in Columbia today,
and gave it as his opinion that the
question of whether or not Judge Jones
will get the support of this faction de-
ponds on the judges attitude toward
the use of injunctions by the state, in
the affairs of Charleston.
1--WE do not believe in injunctions Of
any kind" said Mr.. Sinkler. I'VE
think they are undemocratic, and am
of the opinion the size OF Judge Jones'
vote in Charleston will depend on his
attitude in this matter"
Judge Jones has been speaking in
Pickens and neighboTing counties during
the last few days, and Governor Blease
delivered a political speech this. after
noon at Swansea, in Lexington county.

END OF COAL STRIKE
HELPS DRUG MARKET
Especial Gable to The JOurnal.)

LONDON, June S.-Since the termina-
ton of the coal strike considerable i'm
provement has taken place in the drug
and chemical markets. In the drug mar
ket the outstanding feature has been the
unusually large demand for quinine, Of
which extensive quantities have
changed hands at increasing prices.
During the last few weeks the price of
quinine has increased by about 80 per
cent, after remaining stationary for
many years. The increase in price is
due to the reduced quantity of Gin
chona bark (the raw material from
which it is eSaracted) shipped from
Java to Europe. and there are rumors
that the reduced shipments are due to
an understanding which has been ar
rived at bewteen the growers of bark
in the Dutch West Indies, on which the
world is mainly dependent for it's sup
ply of this valuable drug.

PROBE OF BEEF TRUST
IS MOVING IN A CIRCLE
Started in 1903 and Has Now
Progressed Back to Start
ing Point
(special Dispatch to me Journals

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
WASHINGTON, June SIN 1908, Rep
resentative Marshall. of North Dakota,
secured the passage in congress Of a res
olution for the investigation of the beef
trust. The beef trust was duly inves-
tigated.
In 1905, the beef trust was prosecuted
under a man named Moody, who subse
quently became an associate justice of
the supreme court.
In 1906, the bureau of corporations
spent many months investigating the
beef trust and made an elaborate re-
port.
In 1908, congress amended the laws to
make them more drastic for the purpose
of prosecuting the beef trust.
At intervals there have been cases
begun-civil and criminal-against corpo-
rations and individuals who make up the
beef trust. One Of the first acts of the
Wickersham administration was to for
give the beef trust and to dismiss the
cases and quash all evidence which had
been collected against them. Recently
there was a criminal prosecution which
failed to convict a number of prominent
Chicago gentlemen connected with the
beef trust.
Now the Democratic committee headed
by the ponderous Judge Clayton has de-
termined to Investigate" the beef
trust-and the circle is complete.
