Washington. Sept. 2O.-Francis II.
Weston of Columbia has been agreed
upon by President Wilson and Attor-

States district attorney for the district
of South Carolina. Mr.. Weston, who
now is State SENATOR has been prom

Carolina
James l.. Sims of Orangeburg has
beer selected as United States mar
hal for the same district. He was
urged by Senator Tillman. The two
nominations are expected to go to the
senate Monday.
This, administration officials think,
has brought to an end long contest
between Senators Smith and Tillman
for the two principal federal officers
in South Carolina. The selections are
looked upon by administration officials
as a satisfactory solution of the con-
test.
Senator Tillman had indorsed j..

THE BLIND TIGER QUESTION.
j. {. Dunbar of DalZcll Offers What
He Considers a Solution of the

Problem.
Editor Daily Item.
We have read Mayor Jennings let
ter, giving the law on the whiskey
question and calling on the good citi-
zens of the city to help him enforce
it. He tells why he stood for the dis
pensary in the late contest and we
verify believe he was honest and
conscientious in his convictions If
the people in the city, who are op-
posed to the illegal handling of the
stuff will Organize-say, let each ward
form itself into law and order
league, supervised and managed by
one general head in the city, and
the rural communities establish
themselves into such bodies not with
the purpose of committing any viola
tions, or to take the law into their
own hands, but with the specific pur-
pose, that each member of the diff
ferent organizations shall feel that
he is committee of one, as we'll as
a member of committee of several.
to keep vigilant eye on what is GO
ing on in his neighborhood and when
he finds the law is being violated,
that it is his duty to take steps to
secure evidence to convict; and when
that is accomplished, notify the prop
er officers that the violator NAV be
brought into court to pay the pen
alties. We may rest assured there
would not be so much of this whiskey
business going on. We have reached
that stage when vigilance is the price
Of civic order, as we'll as that of lib
erty, and it is the imperative duty of
every law-abiding citizen to exercise
himself and to see that the law is
upheld
We have plenty of law-breakers
among us, but they are not so nu-
merous but what they can be prac-
der loving citizens are ready to
make some sacrifice to do it. But,
if we stick to that old adage what
is everybody's business is nobodys
business, and let conditions take care
of themselves" we may expect blind
tigers, whiskey clubs and every other
evil that can be thrust upon society,"
Society demands reforms in carry
ing out her ideals and if those de-
mands are realized, she must put
forth efforts to bring them about.
Prohibition can be enforced, if such
is the Will Of the law-abiding citi-
zenship of the county, but if it is
not the will, it is a hopeless measure.
When you hear a people say, 1--WE

put that will into effect, but stand
idly by and let things go as they may,
you can at once conclude that that
people don't will" No doubt some

ticable and could not be made a

less we, as individuals and as a peo-

WILL BE INTERESTING.
Course of Sims Nomination MAY
Prove Unusual.

Washington, Sept. 20.--The story
which became current here late to-
night that President Wilson had de-
cided to name Francis II. Weston of
Columbia to be United States district
attorney for South Carolina, succeed
ing Ernest Cochran, and James L.
Sims Of Orangeburg to be marshal in
place Of j. ID. Adams, did not come as
great surprise, it having been ru-
mored for several days that the White
House would shortly make a decision
In the matter. AS the prospects are
that there may be some interesting
proceedings before the senate makes
Its combinations, q brief resume of
the situation will be interesting. 1t
will be remembered that some time
ago Senator Tillman indorsed ]. Vii
liam Thurmond and Senator Smith did
likewise in the case of Mr.. Weston.
Senator Tillman also indorsed Mr..
Sims for the marshalship. A few days
ago Senator Tillman withdrew the
name of Mr. Sims, and there the mat
ter has rested up to the present time
1t has been understood here from
the first that if Mr.. Weston was
named Senator Tillman would not op-
pose his confirmation and that if the
place should so to Mr. Thurmond, he
would not be opposed by Senator
Smith. That seems to clear the sit
uation so far as the appointment Of
n district attorney is concerned The
interesting phase Of the matter comes
I'm as to what will be the outcome of
Mr.. Sims nomination since the in u.
dorsement of Senator Tillman has
been withdrawn.
Had Senator Tillman not withdrawn
this Endorsement, the matter would
be very simple, but, as ii now stands,
the question resolves itself into who
Will stand sponsor for Mr.. Sims when
his nomination is called up i'm execu-
1--WE SeSSlon Ol the senate Tor cOnfirma-

he Is Endorsed by some one, and as
the present case now stands Mr.. Sims
would appear to be without any one
To take care Of him unless further de-
velopments should prove to the con-
trary. 1t is hardly reasonable to be-
ncve that Senator Smith, under the
present circumstances, would indorse
MIR. Sims, although, in the absence OF
statement from the former, it would
be unwise to even intimate what the
outcome Of the matter will be.
The present situation, when the two
nominations are sent to the senate
Monday, as il is expected they will be.
viii undoubtedly prove interesting to
south Carolinions who have been
watching the matter for a long time.

MURDERED GIRL IN 1903,
JACOB WALFSOUN SAYS HE TOOK
LIFE OF ROCHESTER, WO-
MAN.
In jail Charged with Larceny, Pris-
oner Tells Horrible Story Of MUIR
der OF Anna Catharinc ScIlumach-
er.

Philadelphia, Sept. 21.-The iden-
tity of the perpetrator of the brutal
murder of Anna Catharine Schu-
macher in Holy Sepulchre cemetery
in Rochester, n. Y, Aug. 7, 1909. was
established here late last night, it is
believed, when, according to Capt
Cameron of the Philadelphia detective
bureau Jacob Wolfsohn, arrested for
larceny, confessed that he committed
the deed.
Despite extraordinary efforts by the
authorities, no clue ever was found to
the identity of the murderer
After WOlfsohn's arrest guards no.
ticed that he constantly paced his
cell and seemed to have something
on his mind. Finally, according to
the detectives the prisoner asked for
pencil and paper and wrote q note to
the district attorney containing the
simple statement that he had killed
a girl in a cemetery at Rochester and
that her name was schumacher. I'm
der questioning by Capt. Cameron and
two other detectives, he collapsed.
Later he recovered sufficiently to make
his alleged confession which, as re-
peated by the detectives, substantially
is as follows:
WOlfsOhn said he passed the ceme-
terry every day on his way home and
sometimes noticed the girl placing
flowers on a grave.
Il fiirted with her and she smiled
back at me-" WOlfsohn confessed ac-
cording to the detectives. 1.-The next
day l saw her and spoke to her. We
agreed to see each other there the
next day. She kept her appointment
the next day. l tried to kiss her but
she resented this and tried to run
away. l grabbed her and began chok-
ing her. She screamed, but no one
heard her and then l strangled her.
Il then attacked her and after that
dragged tho body to the woods in the
cemetery. 1 found a grave digger's
spade and dug d hole large enough
to place the body in it.
"No one knows how I suffered for
doing this. l could keep it secret no
longer"
Wolfsohn was questioned again to-
day and detectives said he stuck to
the story substantially as first related.
After the murder, he told the detec-
tives. he went to New York where he
married Miss Ida Berman She OBJ
tanned a divorce last May, Wolfsohn
said and shortly afterwards he came
TO Philadelphia. According to the
authorities, Wolfsohn was arrested on
complaint of the manager of a COM
pany by which he was employed as a
window cleaner, on a charge of steal
ing. Capt. Cameron notified the
Rochester authorities and this after
noon received notice that Sheriff
Hammill and District Attorney Bar
rett will arrive here tomorrow. The
startling story told by Wolfsohn,
Capt. Cameron said, led him to have
two police surgeons examine the pris
oner and they reported that the man
appeared to be mentally sound.
Wolfsohn tonight attempted to
commit suicide in his cell, according
to report from police headquarters.
He was discovered tearing his cloth
ing into strips, and when his cell
was searched an imprOvised rope was
discovered. The prisoner has been
placed under close watch.
