CAUGHMAN REFUSED BAIL.
Chief Justice Gary Makes Second Re-
fuSal i'm His Official Career.

Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary re-
FUSED 10 Tx bail for 7. B. Caugh-

vile, who several days ago shot and
killed Rural Policeman A. NJ. Bate
man, on the showing made before
him at Columbia "Wednesday. This is
the second time in his career as q
Judge that Justice Gary has refused
to grant bail to a person appearing
before him.
large number of afidavits were
submitted by each side, but Justice
Gary did not even hear the arguments
against fixing bail for Caughman, re-
fusing to grant him bail after hearing
the arguments of Caughman's attor-
neys why bail should be granted.
Justice Gary in making his decision
stated that Caughman had no legal
reason for becoming angry as Bate
man had the legal right to seize the
whiskey.
The State was represented by Soli-
cltor Stoll, and Messrs. NJ. l.. Smith
Of Camden and II. d. Noise of Sumter.
while Caughman was represented by
Messrs. l.. ID. Jennings, j. II. Clifton
and B. Frank Kelly
Court convenes for Sumter county

Caughmans case will be taken up
during the Session then. as he has

ALLIES MUST MAKE PEACE.
and Servia-Timc Come for Sign
ing Treaty.

London, May 27.-The growing
displeasure in diplomatic circles of
the great powers at the attitude of
Greco and Servia found expression
today in what practically amounts to
an ultimatum which Sir Edward
Grey, the British secretary for foreign
affairs, delivered to the delegates of
the belligerents.
The communication made it clean
that enough time has been spent in
futile discussions of the peace settle
ment and that the moment had ar
rived for signing the draft treaty.
Despite assertions to the contrary.
the ambassadors were from the first
aVerSe to modification of the draft,
not because of the character of the
proposed changes so much as because
of the delay which would attend fresh
discussions.
The Servians and Greeks have no.
tined their home governments of this
situation and are waiting instructions.
The Turks and Bulgarians are ready
to sign, and it is not eXected that
the Montenegrins will offer objec-
tions.

recalcitrant states to sign.
Sir Edward Grey, the British for

egates separately today and urged
them to sign the draft treaty but the
Greek delegates replied that they must
refer the question to their govern.
ment.
Servian peace delegates also re-
FUSED to sign the draft of the treaty.
Sir Edward Grey then declared the
powers expected the belligerents to
sign without further delay or attempt
at modification.
Sir Edward Grey's statement took
the tone of an ultimatum and the
delegates promised to refer the mat
ter to their governments Immediately.
