BLEASE EVIDENCE
POSITIVE FIELDER
Governors Accuser Declares
Proof of Alleged Pardon Bril-
cry Scheme Is Complete.

Thomas B. Fielder says that when
the dispensary Investigating commit
tee meets again in Augusta It will be
furnished direct and absolute proof that
Governor Cole Blease, of South Caro-
lima. had agreed to sell the pardon of
the notorius yeggman. Bentley, alias
Murphy to Detective Reed. Of the
Burns agency for $4,000.
He says this will be proved by the
prisoner himself who will be sum
moned as a witness and Will testify to
a conversation he had with an agent
Of the governor who told him that the
pardon was ready as soon as the money
should be paid down. Mr. Fielder says
he will offer further proof in the shape
of evidence showing that Governor
Blease and Nichols held a final secret
conference in Columbia the night be-
fore Nichols wired the supposed attor-
ney in Chicago that he should come or
at once to Spartanburg and wind VI
the pardon CASE
Mr. Fielder says the telegram con.
nected with the distagraph testimony
(when the bride arrangement is alleged
to have been made) will be presumptive
evidence of most convincing sort;
that Blease was prepared to write the
Bentley pardon when the charges of
pardon bribery cropped out in the in
vestigation
The Burns detective. f. s. Reed, who
inveigled Lawyer Nichols into the hotel
in Washington and there made the
pardon bride deal" with the aid of the
dictagraph, left Atlanta this morning

happen if. instead of raising this
revenue the legislature is passing
measures which take away the
revenue We now have?
In the city of Atlanta alone
something between $4,000 and
100000 win be taken away annu-
ally.
Something like $50 business
houses will become vacant and be
thrown on the market
And In return for all this in
Jury what benefit do we get, except
an increase in blind tigers and
worse quality Of liquor than we
now have. and we help our rivals
Ia Birmingham on the west, Chat
tanooga on the north and Jackson
Vile on the south in the matter Of
liquor shipments into Georgia
If the Tippins bin would really
accomplish anything it might merit
serious consideration but it ac-
complishes nothing bit injury, and
is to be forced on people who do not
want it

Hillsville, April 23-Under a strong guard of armed men, the survivors of the Allen gang went on trial today. The state is emitting no precautions to ensure the safety of the trial officers. Nobody is allowed i'll the courthouse without an order signed by either the sher- if or the jubge, and every man is searched. The prisoners have nothing to say, and it is thought that considerable diff culty will be encountered in securing a jury, as almost ev- erybody in the region is either a friend OF a bitter enemy of the men on trial.

The greatest damage and loss occurred at the towns of Bush and Reddiok in this state, and at Morocco, Indiana. Parts os these towns are simply wiped out of existenoe,. and Injured and dead people are every where. The morning yester- day opened bright, little too warm perhaps for the time of year, when suddenly tho clouds gathered in the northwest, and almost in tho twinkling of an eye, the storm Of bowling wind and smashing hail broke and death lurked everywhere. The true path Of the storm was less than quarter Of a mile in all wide, but in that strip, not a thing was left standing. Eid is being rushed in to the affected district and everything possible will be done.

Washington, April 2a By an unanimous vote, not singlo voice being raised against i;, the Alaska Home E7ule Bill passed the House of Represen- tatives last night, and will he taken up for consideration by the Senate as soon as a place for it can be cleared on the Senate docket.
 The scene was an impressive one, as every man in tho house realized the importance of the measure. In a ringing speech Congressman Sulzer called for the passage of the bill, and as he sat down, Delegate James Wickersham took the floor to second his remarks. In his own forceful way, Mir. Wickersham reviewed the matter from it's inception by Gov. Swineford in the years that ere gone, when people looked askance at 1t and refused to consider it as worthy of attention, down to the present day when both poll itical parties, the press ard the public at large all favor and demand it's enactment.
 Both men, able takers, were listened to with great interest and were treated to prolonged and frequent applause.
 The vote was then called and as stated above, not a voice was raised in protest, and the bill was passed.
