Il notice in a local paper that Mr..
Reed says he has a telegram which
shows that Governor Blease accepted
the $4,000 bride which they say was
offered They say further that the
telegram tells Reed, alias Porter, to
hurry on South and wind up the deal
and pay his money and get his par
don.
I wish to say that this is one of the
dirtiest lies that has ben published in
connection with this outrageous re-
Election on the governor and myself
and I can not allow it to go unnoticed
even until the committee meets again.
Mr. Reed has been summoned by
Senator Carlisle at my request to ap-
pear before the committee when I ap-
pear and it is up to him to produce
such telegram from me or admit
that he has lied in this as well as in
other parts of the transaction.
Il have in my possession the only
telegram which Porter received from
me after l left Spartanburg, which
telegram will be introduced by me at
the hearing before the committee
The telegram. Nichols says, was as
follows:
Things do not look good. Come to
Spartanburg at once"

SOCIALIS7S>oPEN
NATIONAL MEET
SESSION AT INDIANAPOLIS TODAY
MARKED BY COMMITTEE
APPOINTMENTS.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 13-After the
election of committees on resolutions,
platform and constitution. the social
ist national convention was today to
begin consideration Of reports of spec
ial committees on immigration, exten-
sion of socialist propaganda among
farmers, and q campaign for the votes
of women in states that have granted
them the ballot. t1
The committee on immigration has
been unable to agree and majority and
minority reports will be submitted.
The majority report declares the par
ty should advocate stricter Asiatic
exclusion on the ground that owing
to social and racial peculiarities the
Asiatic races are the most difficult to
mold into an effective revolutionary
body that the capitalists welcome this
immigration and that it's effect upon
economic and political class organiza-
ton is destructive"
That "the idea of national seculsion
is 1allacious and Asiatic immigrants
can and will be arrayed against the
capitalist class is maintained In the
minority report. It denies that the
workers of the Pacific coast demand
stricter Asiatic exclusion.
Candidates for president and vice
president are to be nominated on Fri
day and the convention will adjourn
Saturday.

JURY FOUND
FOR PARCEL
MAN CHARGED WITH CRIME
AGAINST DAUGHTER WAS
FREED SUNDAY MORNING.

The jury in the case of state vs..
Fred Parcel. charged with statutory
offense against his 12-year-old daugh-
ter. returned a verdict OF not guilty.
The verdict was reached after more
than thirty hours deliberation.
The crime with which Parcel was
charged was an unspeakable one. The
daughter and wife were among the wit
nesses against the male parent.
The statement that the character of
the wife was assailed which appeared
in a former issue is incorrect as the
character of Mrs. Parcel was not at.
tackled by opposing counsel although
those of the father and daughter were.
The counsel began argument this
morning at 10 o'clock in the nuisance
case against Charley Kepler. The
evidence in this case concluded Satur-
day at noon and the case will reach
the jury this afternoon.

them, the Mexican rebels today con
tinued their retreat northward before
the federal army of General Huerta
victorious in the last three days fight
ing. Five bridges spanning wide ar
causing delay to government troor
trains. .t.@
No fighting was expected today as
both sides were occupied with their
dead and wounded from yesterday e
engagement. >r
The rebels are believed to have lost
six hundred in killed and wounded.
General Orozco's. headquarters have
been moved northward to Rellano
from Escalon, retreat Of eleven
miles. The rebel advance guard, after
the defeat Of yesterday at COnejOs,
1856 miles north Of Torreon, today was
sighted behind Yermo, fourteen miles
north of here on the Mexican Central
railroad. ... ~
Though skirmishing is expected con-
stantly, another decisive clash prob
ably will not occur for twenty-four
hours. Rellano, once the battle ground
ir the present revolution, again may
be the meeting place Of two armies.
Thus far the advantage has been
with the government troops as they
steadily have repulsed the rebels
northward advance toward the Ameri-
can border. The superior artillery fire
of the government troops driving the
insurrectos so far back that their in
fantry fire became Ineffective, is
counted upon to force the Orozco
army still farther northward.

the advancing federAls. Admitting
that the government forces are better

declares he is Withdrawing his troops
to the vicinity of Rellano SO they may
have the advantage of Notifications
and trenches in this vicinity, from
which three weeks ago the rebels
nearly annihilated the federal COM
mand of General Gonzales Salas who
was in progress. .
Though rebela casualties In yester-
days engagement were great, the
liberal leaders declare the government
likewise suffered heavily and, except
for the loss Of important positions at
Conejos. they claim an even break in
the fighting. All of the generals and
their commands have been ordered to
mobilize here where the entire fight
ing strength of the insurrectos will
be thrown against the enemy.
