Nameless Fear Pursues Query.

Greenville, Sept. 4.-Harassed by
the idea that he was being bounded
by some unknown persons or thing,
J. L. Query, a white man, who claims
Concord, n. c., as his home, attempt
ed to commit suicide tonight by hang
ing himself in a cell in the city Jail.
He tied one end of a blanket about
his neck and then mounting stool
tied the other to the ceiling of his
cell. After doing this he kicked the
stool from under him.
He was discovered in this condi-
tion by Policeman Bridges before he
had been hanging long enough to
cause death. The officer was feeding
the prisoners at the time Query at
tempted to kill himself and in pass
ing the cell saw him hanging to the
ceiling. Bridges cut the blanket by
which he was hanging and imme-
diately called in a physician.
That Query is mentally unbalanced
seems to be borne out by the manner
in which he became confined in the
city Jail. He voluntarily presented
himself at the police station and
asked to be locked up, saying that he
was afraid of something that was
after him, but giving no clue as to
what it was that he feared. His re-
quest to be locked up was complied
with and a brother in Concord was
notified. His brother will arrive in
Greenville in the morning to take the
unfortunate man back with him.

JUMPS IN NIAGARA WHIRLPOOL
Old Man of Erie, Pa, Commits Sui.
eide by Drowning.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Sept. 15.-A
man believed by the police to be John
Hawkins, 6S years old, of Erie, Pa,
committed suicide this afternoon by
jumping into the Niagara River from
the lower steel arch bridge which
spans the river just above the start
of the whirlpool rapids. 1t is two
hundred feet above the water. Two
women standing on the Canadian
cliff saw the man climb on the rail-
ing. He sat astride the rail several
minutes looking down at the turbu-
lent waters, then lurched forward.
His body shot downward and struck
the water headforemost. He came
to the surface once, before the white
foam of the big drift closed over him.
The suicide was the first from the
lower arch bridge in three years.
Hawkins was pulled from the bridge
railing Saturday night, but conVlnc-
ed his captors then that he was not
bent on suicide.

SPEEDING TO ARMS OF MOTHER.
Marion Wascuk is Travelling On First
Lap of Long Journey.

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 13.-Lying
on a pneumatic cushion in ham
mock swung in a compartment of a
freight train, Marion Wascuk, aged
19, tonight is speeding on the first
lap of his long journey which event
ually, he hopes, will place him in the
arms of his aged mother near War
shaw, Poland. Accompanying him
on the journey is Miss Lydia Keller,
superintendent of local hospital,
where for many months Wascuk has
been bed-bound, paralyzed below the
neck because of a broken back.
Thirteen months ago pile of lum-
Der fell on him as he was working
in the yard of local tranfer COM
panqy. After hard battle physicians
brought him as nearly back to health
as they say he will ever be.
Miss Keller carries with her let
ter from Gov. Eberhart asking rail-
way, steamship and foreign officials
to do all in their power to make the
trip as easy as possible for Wascuk.

IN PARR SHOALS ROBBERY
GREENEILLE MAN SUSPECTED
OF BEING IMPLICATED.
Prisoner, who is Freight Conductor
on Southern Railway, Denies Any
Connection with Robbery.

Greenville, Sept. 14.-Suspected of
being implicated in the Parr Shoals
robbery. which occurred September 5,
James B. Upton, freight conductor
on the Southern, whose home is in
Greenville, was arrested Friday after
noon by Detective W. R. Adams, of
the Atlanta branch of the Burns
Agency. Upton is man of family,
having a wife and four children. He
has resided in Greenville for four
years. Apparently he is about As
years of age.
When seen by newspaper man
the prisoner denied all connection
with the affair, and gave an account
of himself on the day of the ROBBERY.
In the morning, according to his
statement, he left Spartanburg on a
run to Columbia, reaching the latter
city shortly before l o'clock. He
then went to his boarding mouse, and
claims that his first knowledge of the
robbery was when 4a read an account
in the afternoon paper in Columbia.
Friday night he says he left Columbia
for Greenville, coming via Spartan
burg.
Local officials did not know that
he was suspected of any connection
with the robbery, their first intima-
ton of his alleged completely being
his arrest by the two detectives, who
came here with a warrant for him.
The prisoner was turned over to
Sheriff Rector and kept in the county
Jail until this afternoon, when an
officer from Columbia and other off,
cials took him to Columbia. At the
request of officials the newspapers
have withheld publication of the ar
rest until to-day.
Upton was very calm while in the
local Jail, and from first to last stated
unequivocally that none of his move
ments were hidden on the day of the
robbery, when a paymaster of the j.
G. White Construction Company was
robbed of $4,000. This is the first
time, he says, that he has ever looked
from behind the bars. He is originally
from Greenville, Tenn. At the time
of his arrest he was arranging to
take his family to Columbia, where
he intended making his future home.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT INDICTED.
Rev. Eliza Hanley, who Whipped His
Father, Charged with Assault.

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 15.-The
Rev. Elijah NJ. Hanley, president of
Franklin College, late to-day was in
dicted by the Vigo County grand jury
On a charge of assault on his father,
Calvin Hanley, last Thursday. Presi-
dent Hanley is said to be at Franklin,
Ind, and the Rev. C. NJ. Parker, a
member of the board of trustees of
the institute, told Court officials he
would appear when wanted.
The alleged assault on Calvin Han
ley took place at his home near Mid
dleton, Ind, when it was charged
that the minister attacked his father
because of remarks made to his
daughter-in-law and on account of
treatment accorded Mrs. Calvin Han
ley, to which the son objected. The
father told neighbore that he had
been beaten with club and kicked
by DR.. Hanley.
President Hanley in statement
issued at Indianapolis Saturday de-
clared he had not beaten his father,
but had switched and spanked" his
parent for i'll treatment of his mother
and other members of his family.
In this statement he recited at length
what he termed abuse of his mother
by his father and asserted he should
have taken a hand in the matter be-
fore. Before returning to Terre
Haute Saturday night the Rev. Mr..
Hanley went to his fathers farm,
where a reconciliation is said to
have taken place. Then, it was said,
the father begged forgiveness for
his actions and the son, kneeling be-
fore his parent, asked his blessings,
and both pledged themselves to for
get the incident and work together
for the happiness of Mrs. Calvin
Hanley.
When the reconciliation was an
nounced a member of the board of
trustees of Franklin College announ-
ced that the affair was closed as far
as the College was concerned.
The Rev. Mr.. Hanley is regarded
as one of the leading Baptist minis
ters of the country, having held i'm
portant posts at Cleveland, Ohio, and
Providence, r. 1.

DYING MAN RUNS CAR.
Motorman, Accidentally Shot by Pass
enger, Sticks to His Post.

Though wounded mortally by
pistol shot, which was inflicted acci-
dentally by James Hamilton, con-
tractor of Florence, N. j., John Law
renee, a motorman, crawled into the
front vestibule of his car and ran it
to Florence where he was attended
by a physician.
According to passengers on the
car, the shooting occurred while
Hamilton was attempting to explain
the mechanism of an automatic re-
volver to the motorman. When the
conductor came along to conduct his
fare, Hamilton produced a roll Of
bills, amounting to several hundred
dollars, and offered SIS bill for his
fare. The motorman had entered the
car from the front platform to rest,
while a south-bound car passed on
switch.
I'D like to see you on dark
night" remarked Lawrence in joke,
when he saw Hamilton's money.
1T wouldn't do you any good If
you did, for l go well protected"
replied Hamilton, drawing an auto
matte revolver from his pocket.
While demonstrating the workings of
the weapon, Hamilton accidentally
pressed the trigger. There was a re-
port, and Lawrence fell to the floor,
with blood streaming from wound
in his groin. The conductor revers-
ed the trolley pole and attempted to
guide the car back to Florence. He
was unfamiliar with the use of the
controller and made little progress.
It was then that Lawrence crawled to
the front platform. On his knees he
grasped the controlling lever and
sped the car back to town. At Flor,
ence an emergency motorman jump
ed aboard the car and ran it to CAM
den, where Lawrence was taken to
the Cooper Hospital.

SWITCHED HIS OWN FATHER.
Indiana College President Before
Grand Jury in Strange Case.

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 13.-Four
members of the Hanley family today
were subpoenaed to appear here
Monday morning before the grand
jury to tell of the alleged assault
made upon Calvin Hanly, of Mid
dleton, by his son, President E. A.
Hanly, of Franklin College. Those
summoned were President Hanley S
mother, his sister, brother, Oak
ley Danley and the latter's wife.
1t is alleged the son switched and
spanked his father because of alleg-
ed bad treatment of his mother and
sister-in-law. In resisting his son
the father fell against window sill
and it is reported was seriously In
jured.
President Hanley tonight arrived
here from Indianapolis, where TO-
day he issued a statement admitting
that he had switched and spanked
his father. He is guest of the
Rev. G.. R. Parker, a member of the
executive board Of Franklin College.
The Rev. Mr.. Parker, in brief state
ment, said the executive board had
full confidence in DR.. Hanley and that
no hasty action would be taken on
the case.
Calvin Henley was resting easy
tonight and his physician said he dld
not consider his condition serious.
DR.. Hanley and his father tonight
were reconciled when the son mo-
tored to his fathers home. In the
presence of all the members of the
family, the two embraced and asked
mutual forgiveness. According to a
friend who witnessed the meeting
the father declared that he had been
spoiled by being allowed to dictate
to other members of his family.
What effect the reconciliation will
have upon the grand jury investi-
cation officials would not predict to-
night although friends of the Hanley
family declared the action probably
marked the close of the incident.

SHERIFF WHITE IS PRAISED.
Judge Gage Presiding at Court Try.
ing Spaltanburg Negro for Assault

Spartanburg, Sept. 15.-The spec
ial term of Court called by Govern
or Cole L. Blease for the trial of Will
Fair, the negro accused of assaulting
white woman near. White Stone,
opened this morning. Judge George
w. Gage is presiding. The court
room was filled to overfowing with
men eager to see the negro. TEcy
were disappointed. Fair was not pro-
duced. He was taken to the State
penitentiary for safe-keeping after a
mob, bent on lynching him, had
blown down the outer wall of the jail
with dynamite, and Sheriff W. j.
White refused to-day to say if the
negro had yet been brought back.
The alleged victim of the negro was
in court, however, to testify before
the grand jury.
Judge Cages charge was one of
the most eloquent and forceful ever
delivered to a Spartanburg county
grand jury. He told them to do their
duty in the negro's case, whether
their views as to the guilt or inno-
cence of Fair conceded with the
views of the public or not. Judge
Gage spoke of the attempted lynch
ing and praised Sheriff White for up
holding the majesty of the law and
refusing to surrender to the mob.

For several years the orphanages
of our State have been asking the
people to join together and give the
result of one days work or the profits
of one days business to the orphan
children. Some of the institutions
have set Oct. 4 as the date this year,
though any day will do. Many Sun
day-schools now count it part of
their program to observe this day,
and their gifts reach several thou
sand dollars annually. 1t is worthy
cause, and everybody should "lend
a hand and help along.
