JNO. y. GARLINGTON TURNED
LOOSE BY BLEASE.
Governor Opens Prison Gates for Prin-
cipal I'm Seminole Steal. Prisoner
on Parole During "GoOd Behavior"

Information received Tuesday
morning is to the effect that John Y.
Darlington, one of the principals in
the notorious Seminole Steal" which
rifed the pockets of the ablest busi-
ness men OF this and many other
states about years ago, was today
paroled by Governor Cole l.. Blease
during good behaviour"
Darlington has been in the State
Penitentiary for little over a year.
He was convicted OF breach Of trust in
connection with the Seminole swind-
le, and was sentenced to serve years
at hard labor for the State Of South
Carolina Not very long ago Garling-
ton was allowed to go to the bed
side Of a sick relative at Laurens; he
was away only short time, but now
the governor has given him freedom
for as long time as he will be
good"
THE Seminole Steal" as the case in
which Darlington was a principal ac-
tor, is familiarly known, has had too
much notoriety already to be un-
familiar to the people Of South Caro-
lima and the South in general Fran
ed up in manner that would have
done credit to the most solidly found
ed corporation in the country, the
Seminole Securities Company not
only dragged money from the pockets
OF modest salaried men seeking in
vestment, but also took neat piles from
some Of the ablest and wealthiest
business men in the State.

Millionaire New Yorker Before Court
This Week on Charge OF Slashing

Aiken. s. c., Feb. 2.-Tuesday,
about noon, in the court of general
sessions in Aiken. Solicitor Gunter will
sound the case OF the State VS.. Fred
erick o. Beach, millionaire New
Yorker. on a charge Of assault and
battery with intent to kill. The State
will contend that Beach, through jeal-
ousy. struck his wife, formerly Mrs.
Havemeyer, on the head with a fence
paling Of the Beach winter home in
Aiken, on the night of February 2C,
last
Mr.. and Mrs. Meach and Mrs. j. T..
Taller, OF New York, Mrs. Beach =
sister. are in Aiken awaiting the
sounding OF the case. Mr. Beach will,
when arraigned. enter a plea Of not
guilty. and the court will proceed to
strike jury from citizens Of Aiken
county.
The States star witness in the pros
ecution Of the case will be a negro
woman. by the name OF Pearl Hamp-
ton. who, they will seek to show, vas
struck down with the same fence pal
Ing used on Mrs. Beach. just a min
ute before the attack on Mrs. Beach.
Other testimony. 1t is understood, will
be submitted frcm an Atlanta detec-
tive who was employed by the city
OF Aiken to work up the case.
The principal witness for the de-
fense will be Mrs. Beach, herself, who
will reiterate the story she told the
night of the attack, that she heard
someone at the front gate Of the res.-
dence, went out to see who 1t was
and found a negro man wearing an
overcoat standing outside the gate.
She said at the time that the negro
had note in his hand, which he said
had been sent to an inmate OF the
Beach home. AS he extended his hand
to give her the note, and she was
about to take it, the negro jumped ut
her and salshed her throat. Imme-
diatey, she says, the negro made his
escape. In the attack Mrs. Beach lost
back comb from her hair and an
earring. both of which were later
found, and which will be offered in
evidence, as will the knife which Mr.
Beach is said to have used.
The case will probably be concluded
in one day, and acquittal is expected.

turns One was in the case OF Ken
lucky, where the Legislature initially
adopted the amendment in advance Of
the receipt from Secretary Knox Of
should serve as basis for a State
action. clonsequnce OF this haste,
and the use Of a newspaper clipping,
the language OF the enacting resolu-
ton was slightly erroneous. AS soon
as the error was discovered an at
tempt was made to correct it by reen-
action. In consequence OF this haste,
which had raised the issue. 1t is re-
called that Secretary Seward in 1868
practically referred to congress the
question whether the 14th amendment
had been properly ratified by the
States because OF some such irregu-
larity.
1t is probable that Secretary Knox
will not announce the ratification of
the amendment upon the basis OF the
returns but will await the receipt Of
certificates from some Of the States
which have not yet acted on the
amendment, but are reasonably GER
tain to do so favorably. In this case
and allowing for the time requir "a for
a painstaking examination by the So
licitor, 1t probably will be after the
fourth OF March before the PRESIDENT 8
notice can issue Of the addition Of the
income tax amendment.

speaker said he believed that If any
interruption to railroad service result
ed from a difference between en-
ployers and employees the public
should have fu! information upon
which to base intelligent opinion as
TO the merits of the dispute. In Can
ada this is accomplished by the in
dustrial pursuits investigation law,
which statute relies largely upon the
force of enlightened public opinion
Mr.. Finley thought, however, that the
provisions Of this law should be adopt
ed in the United States, but, instead
of three members, the special board to
be named in each case submitted for
arbitration should have five men,
bers. one to be selected by each party
to the controversy, these two to
choose two others, and the two last
named to select the fifth member. Pro-
vision must be made for filling out
the board in the event Of protracted
disagreement between the first two
men chosen. He directed attention to
the importance Of maintaining service
at all times and to safeguard it from
strikes and lockouts.
One Of his most significant utter
ances was this: Even under the
H.
ever, the railways cannot return earn
ings to the property in amounts suf-
ficient to enable them to meet the in
creasing demands for service. To
large extent additional carrying ca
pacity will have to be provided
through the investment of new CAPT.
tai" He also pointed out that the
cerdit essential to the obtaining of
new capial depends on the proportion
of gross earnings saved as net in
come, and, furthermore, that railroad
prosperity and the ability Of the lines
to adequately perform transportation
depends very largely upon the state of
the public mind toward them There
fore, the attitude Of the Government
should be to instill into the public
mind confidence in the railways. He
quoted President Hadley Of Yale as
saying: I'VE must lend a hand to
the men who are getting things done.
We shall deal with the problems of
corporate regulation and with the
abuse Of corporate management more
effectively if we are willing to appre-
ciate efficient service"
President Finley will undoubtedly
have the sympathy and support Of all
fair. minded men for his conclusion
that the railroads, being regulated to
protect the rights Of the public, are
rightly entitled to protection in their
property rights and to enjoy such lib
erty in their affairs as is necessary to
the success Of a busineS. None want
the companies to perform transporta-
ton service without profit, for lack Of
profit means more serious loss to the
people who use the railroads than it
does to the railroad companies them
selves.
