price OF twine | wrote the International
to go out there to try to Fix it up With

CULLEN-WALKER BILLS
DENOUNCED BY GARDNER
If Made Laws City Waterfront
Would Become Subject to Seiz-
uTe by Railroads, He Says.
MAKES APPEAL TO SULZER
Secretary of Board of Trade
Urges Governor to Give Hear
ing-Mitchel Ridicules Objec-
tons Raised to Measures.

Frank 8. Gardner, secretary Of the New
York Board of Trade and Transportation,
has sent a letter to Governor Sulzer urg-
ing him to give a public hearing on the
Cullen-Walker bills relating to water
front development fore acting on them
should they be paHd by the Legislature,
as Mr. Gardner thinks likely. If they
become laws, Mir. Gardner declared. the
entire waterfront Of the city would be-
come subject to seizure by the railroad
companies through condemnation proceed
ings.
The object Of the bills is laudable
enough. according to Mr.. Gardner Since
only 100000 seemed to be Immediately
available for port Improvement, it was
necessary to raise money for additional
terminal facilities through recourse to the
railroads, he admitted yesterday. But
= instead of surrounding the improvements
so built with proper safeguards, Mr.. Gard
ner pointed out. the Legislature had taken
| the easiest course Of striking out the
clause in the existing law forbidding rail-
roads to hold stock in terminal companies.
This BILL" Mr.. Gardner explained, EN-
ables three or more persons to form cor
poration for the supply. maintenance and
operation of freight terminal facilities.
The old law, which it amends. went OH to
prohibit any railroad corporation from
holding stock in such company. All
the Legislature did was to cut out this
particular provision.
Not to Judge it too harshly, it looks
as Il IL were done out of pure laAness ana
! a desire to wind up the matter before the
end of the session. 1t accompiishes the
desired object. all right, but 1t leaves the
waterfront Of the whole state at the
mercy of the railroads.
Through the efforts of our assistant
secretary. William +. Mcconnell Sehd-
tor Cullen introduced an amenuiiie"'

WAS STILL IN THE JAIL.
When Governor Blease Turned Him
Loose.

A dispatch from Sumter says the
release Of T. Birnie Caugnman by
Governor Please has been much dis
cussed there on the street and there
seems to be general dissatisfaction
among the people that a parole
should have been granted, especially
so soon after the killing took place
and before Caughman commenced to
serve his sentence. Since his convic-
ton in October. Caughman has been
kept in the county jail awaiting the
result Of an appeal to the State Su-
preme Court for new trial.
Thursday night, when notified OF
his parole, Caughman requested per
mission to remain in jail over night
as he was without funds and had nc
place in town to which he could 60
Friday morning he came up street
where he met and spoke to a number
of friends and acquaiatances, visited
the barber shop and then returned to
the Jail: until time for his train to
leave for his home at Smithvil!e. Lee
county, about fifteen miles north o!
Sumter.
Caughman has never seemed tc
realize the seriousness Of the offence
Of which he was convicted and his
demeanor changed little when he was
told that he had been granted his
freedom. Bateman, who was killed
by Caughman, was stanch Blease
man, and many of his friends, 1t IS
understood. who are also Blease par
tisans, deem the governors action as
unwa-ranted. In fact, one Of them
stated Friday that he and several
more he knew Of who had always
voted for Blease in the past, would
never DO so again.
Chief of Police John r. Sumter
stated Friday morning, when asked II
he had signed the petition fer len
iency for Caushman said that he
most certainly had not. Mr.. Thomas
S. Sumter stated that he had signed
the petition out Of friendship for q
'ous:n of Caughman's, but that 1t
stated that Caughman was to be
Given his freedom after he had served
a reasonable time.

HUERTA CLAIMS MILLION.
Mexican Resident Says He Can Secure
That Many Soldiers.

Replying to letter sent him by
the correspondent Of the Frankfurter
Zeitung, a German newspaper. Pres
ident Huerta said that if it should be-
come necessary he could put into SER
vice Immediately more than 1,OCO,-
900 armed men. This statement he
explained as follows:
without counting the 10000
men Of the national army, the gov
ernment in agreement with various
states of the republic have organized
an armed force for the local service
Of 1900 men for each state. Also
the government has arranged with
$1,000 hacieneados (farmers) that
they keep ten armed workmen each
for their own protection.
"Thus, then, the government
counts upon the number Of armed
men aggregating seven hundred and
some thousand without taking into
consideration the reserves, which to
the number of 100000, could be or
ganized if the peace of the country
should be disturbed"

NEGRO KILLS WHITE NAN.
tabs Mil Operative to Death With
Knife.

At Anderson on Friday Ollie Kin
ard. a white man, employed in the
frame room of the Orr Cotton Mills.
was stabbed to death by Will White,
= negro, employed in the picker room
of the same mills. Death was instan-
tancous. Testimony adduced at the
inquest is to the effect that kinard
had been drinking and that he. in
company with two friends, met White
and asked him to accompany them to
the woods. kinard is said to have
teased the negro until the negro be-
CAME angry, and without warning
drew his knife and stabbed kinard to
the heart. White ran off, but was
captured, and is in the county Jail.
About half past o'clock Friday
night between fifty and sexenty-fve
men gathered on Church street, near
the county Jail, while three Of them,
according to report, went to the Jail
door ard made demand on Sheriff
Ashley for Will White, the negro who
is charged with having stabbed to
death Ollie Kinard at Orr Mill village
Friday afternoon. The men, who, it
is claimed, were recognized by the
sheriff when he answered the alarm
at the door, told the officer, it is said,
that they had come for White; that
he (Sheriff Ashley could make big
bluff to convince the public that he
tried to save the negro from them,
and that the crowd could then take
the negro.
Sheriff Ashley replied forci5ly, it
is said, saying that there is no bluT
in him, that he has sworn to protect
the prisoners and that he intended
doing so with all his might. He told
them further that they wouldn't g,
the negro unless they did so over his
dead body. The three men withdrew,
one of them remarking that they
would be back later that night, it is
said. The crowd dispersed soon after.
1t was rumored there at 10 O'Clock
that a crowd had gathere just south
of the city, but the sheriff and his
deputies did not give the story any
credence. The sheriff has the jail
we'll barricaded, having called in
four Of his deputies and two Of the
city policemen. They are we'll forti-
fed.

Meanwhile Convicted M:sl Has "Made

lnent Worries Chicago.

The error Of a fling clerk in the
Office Of Judge Brentano in Chicago
seven years ago, kept Joshua Ted
ford, a former policeman, from the
penitentiary and gave him chance
TO begin life anew. To-day he is sup
erintendent and manager of one OF
the largest mems furnishing stores IN
Chicago. But now the error which
kept him from prison has been dis
covered and the prison doors are
yawning for the man who had aDpar-
emily lived down his crime. The case
is one of the most unusual on record,
involving the old problem Of social
Us. legal justice"
The error which kept Tedford from
prison was very simple. When the
mandate from the Supreme court was
returned to Chicago, new clerk slip
ped the papers into pigeonhole in
stead of handing them to the trial

papers rested until a few days ago
when a vindictive lawyer. accused
Judge Bretano Of partiality towards

the paper and the case will now be
handled according to legal precedent
Joshua Tedford was policeman
In 1904 he was convicted on charge
of conspiracy to defeat justice BY
sending away Mabel Lewis, witness
for the State in a case against vii.
liam Hickey, charged with burglary
He was sentenced by Judge Bretanc
10 serve from one to five years in the
penitentiary.
Counsel for Tedford appealed the
verdict and the convicted man wa!
allowed to remain at liberty unde,
bonds while the case dragged its way
through the Appellate and Supreme
courts. In February. 1905. the Su
>reme Court affirmed the verdict and
but for the error in filing Tedfort
would have been sent to prison.
After his trial and admission t
bail Tedtord went to the clothin:
