UNDERWOOD BLOCKS PL\N
Customs Consolidation Likely To Be.
come Effective July 1.

Washington, June 17.-When the
Senate passed the bill reported by it's
commerce committee, to defer for six
months the consolidation of the Gus
toms service, which is to go into effect
ny President Tafts executive order
on July |. it was generally believed
here that the measure would have
plain sailing i'm the House, where it is
favored by large majority of the
membership. The outlook for the bill
Is very gloomy, however, because
Chairman Underwood, of the WAYS
and means committee, to which the
bill was referred, is determinedlv op-
posed to it and will not call any meet
ing of the committee to consider it.
Unless action is taken by the Demo-
cratic caucus next week to discbarco
the committee, the result will be that
the Senate's proposal to defer the Taft
consolidation md give President Will
son chance to amend it, will sleep
III pigeon ole until the consolida-
tlon has actually gone into effect on
July /.

~ anxious to have the consolidation
deferred according to the Senate pro-
grammc but the most powerful of the

FOUR ROBBERIES MONDAY
NIGHT.
Wreck Store, Pepsi Cola Company,
South Carolina Western Depot and
T. n. Smith Suffer from Depreda-
tiOns.

The burglars, robbers, or Just plain
thieves, whatever they are, were
quite busy Monday night. Four places
were entered by them, but in only one
place, the Wreck Store, were the
thieves successful in securing any of
the money which they were evidently
after.
At the Wreck Store, which was en-
tered from the rear, the door being
broken in, the thieves priced open the
cash drawer and secured between $40
and S12 dollars in change. It was not
known how much goods was taken,
although the proprietors found sew
eral articles in the alley in the rear
of the store, where they had been
dropped by the thieves.
The Pepsi Cola Botting Company
was entered from a front window,
which Mr.. Bowling. the proprietor
thinks he must have left unfasten-
ed. The money drawer was not OPEN
ed, but other drawers which were not
locked were ransacked, but apparent
ly nothing was missing In entering
the thieves had cut through the wire
screen in the front window.
At the South Carolina Western
Railway the thieves Of thief entered
from the window in the colored wait
ing room. From this room they
passed through the ticket window,
breaking the glass out in order to do
SC, into the agents office. Here ap-
parently an effort was made to en-
ter the safe, which was unsuccessful
Articles Of clothing and other articles
in the freight room were not molest
ed.
L. n. Smiths store on East Liberty
street was entered from a rear door.
the door evidently being priced open
with piece of iron. Two cad
dies of tobacco and part OF q jar of
chewing gum were missing this morn
ing, when Mr.. Smith found that his
place had been entered.
This store was broken into several
weeks ago from the front door, when
several articles were stolen. The
Wreck Store also suffered from the
depredations of thieves several weeks
ago.

FEARFULLY MANGLED, LIVES
HOURS.
White Man Meets Horrible Fate Near
Aiken.

Aiken, June 17.-With his left
shoulder crushed literally to pieces
and fearful hole in his skull, crush
ed bone particles and pieces Of q
felt hat resting against the brain, Joe
Maroney, a 35-year- old white man,
residing at Oakwood, in this coun-
ty, was found early this morning in
an unconscious condition beside the
Southern Railroad tracks, about six
miles east of this place and one mile
east of Montmorenci.
The wounded man was brought to
Aiken and all day local physicians
labored faithfully to preserve his life.
The bone particles ard hat felt resting
on the brain surface were removed
successfully, when it became apparent
that the man had also suffered a frac-
ture at the base Of the brain. For this
there was no remedy, and he died
about 6 o'clock this afternoon.
The physical facts in the case. the
position Of the body, the location of
the wounds and the train schedules
make it appear that he was sitting
evidently on cross tie, jutting from
the track, and that the so-called
midnight train from Augusta, pass
ing here about 1916 at night, struck
him and knock pd hin, off
1t has been stated by reliable par.
ties that Maroney was seen in Aiken
yesterday afternoon, under the influ-
cnce of alcohol, if not actually intoxi-
Gated. From infancy the dead man
mad been subjected, it is declared. to
periods of partial blindness. The cor
oners inquest was begun tonight. but
continued until tomorrow evening in
view of the absence of some persons
deemed material witnesses.
The dead man Is survived bv q wife
and one son. The remains will be
shipped to Orangeburg tomorrow for
interment.

rate decisions which marked the ses-
sion Of the supreme court yesterday
are regarded by some as merely the
beginning of a fight by the railroads
against low rates.
In each case where a railroad fail
ed to sustain its claims that the State
rates were confiscatory the supreme
court specifically reserved the right
of the road TO begin new proceedings.
This was true as to two roads in Min
rcsOta, II in Missouri and two in
Arkansas, where Justice Hughes said
>hc data on which the claim of con-
Justice Hughes made it clear that the
court will not accept generalizations
of opinions as to valuations and ex-
penses.
Even tests of days or weeks will
not satisfy. Lawyers construe the
courts opinion as saying that the
/ ollIot' HluSl invent Il more uetall-
ed system of bookkeeping.
1t has been estimated that the in
terstate commerce commission will
not complete it's valuation within five
years. In the meanwhile it is re-
garded as certain that some railroads
will seek to convince the court they
have accurate figures to show confis-
cation.
Within the week after the Mime
sofa rate decision was announced the
Norfolk e. Western filed in the su-
preme court a suit in which it claim
ed the 2-cent passenger law Of West
Virginia was confiscatory.
This law was held constitutional in
the suit of the Chesapeake G. Ohio,
but that road did not raise the point
of confiscation.
The usual situation Of low rates be-
ing applicable to some roads in a
State and not applicable to others
was pronounced by Justice Hughes i'm
the Missouri rate decision as being
entirely constitutional
