ELECTRICAL DEVICE
In Hands of Would Be Black
mailer Would Kill or
Save Life

Salt Lake City, July Gin the
presence of electrical experts, federal
officers and detectives here was demon
strated what was declared to be perhaps
the most remarkable death dealing
machine invented in recent ear
The invention is the work OF W. L.
Cummins, 23 years old. who confessed
to federal and municipal officers,
when he was arrested. that he had
threatened to use it to destroy Miss
Dorothy BAN berger, wealthy society
girl, unless she gave him 81, 600.
After the demonstration, government
officials took possession of the inven-
tion.
What is held to be of more import
ance, the invention, it is said, can be
turned to the saving of life by pre-
venting train or ship collisions.
Electricians took the machine into
a steel and concrete vault in an office
building. Another part of the con.
%trivance, OF which was mounted a
bell and an ~incandescent globe, was
placed in a closed room across q hall.
Then the electric current of the ma
chine in the alright vault was turned
on. On the unattached box in the other
room the bell rang and the lamp
glowed brightly.
In his acknowledged letter to Miss
Bamberger, Cumuins sent a diagram
of his invention, saying that he
would place a suit case Of nitro
glcyerine in her room and explode il
from a distance. The demonstration,
say the electrical experts. proves that
he could have accomplished this.
In speaking of this invention as he
sat in his cell, Cummins said the at
tachment could be installed in loco
motive cabs where it would give a
positive signal il a train ran past a
closed block signal. In war. he said,
mines could be exploded without wire
attachments.
The prisoner told the police he had
been induced to try to blsckmail Miss
BAN berger by two other men who, he
believed, we're members of a New York
gang Of blackmaileis.

DeputH DOrrOh Does II.

Sheriff Cannon G. Blease got word
of a Sunday row at Rocky Zion
church, colored, just this side of the
Laurens line. He sent Deputy VIM.
Dorroh on Monday to the neighbor-
hood of trouble. The deputy was ac-
complained by Constable Carey John
son, of Magistrate J. H. Dorroh's Of
flee. The omcers found that the
shooting didn't amount to much.
Mack Sheppard had given Clarence
Golding a slight flesh wound in the
leg. He is not held for that, unless
it should turn out to be serious,
which is not likely, but he was tried
and convicted before Magistrat4
Dorroh on Tuesday for violating thi
pistol law, and was fined $40, which
he paid.
Another good thing Deputy Dorroh
reports. If they didn't make anything
much out of the shooting their trip
was not without beneficial results.
They succeeded in rounding up thirty
four gamblers, who were taken before
Magistrate Dorroh on Tuesday. The
magistrate put fines on them which
netted in the aggregate $4,000, and
the total amount was paid.

will have to contribute, and by rea-
son of which little children will be
kept from school and taxpayers will
have to suffer from poor county roads
and city streets.
l also recommend that the delega-
ton, the school trustees and the city
council unite in demanding constant
access to, and a monthly audit of the
minutes, the accounts and the books
of the Richland county dispensary
board.
1t is our duty to stand up for the
rights Of the people we represent,
whose money is being mis-spent.
Respectfully submitted,
W. H. Gibbes,
Mayor
In commenting on the resolution to
receive the report as information,
Councilman Stieglitz said it certainly
deserved attention, especially that
section demanding access to the books
of the dispensary board. He ques-
toned the suggestion of an injunction
to prevent paying constables' sala-
ries.
Mayor Gibbes stated that some
thing should be done for the tax
payers interests, in fact he, as a tax
payer would do something. Council
man Stieglitz wanted the interests Of
the taxpayers looked after, but doubt
ed the advisability of an Injunction.
Councilman Stieglitz thereupon intro
duced his resolution favoring access
to the county boards books.
Councilman Earle said that he had
no feeling in the matter, but it was
his opinion that in dealing with the
State a mistake had been made, as it
arose about the fining of. the COVER
nor's chauffeur. He had heard it
stated that if the chauffeur had been
Governor Heyward's chauffeur the
employer would have been notified of
the first offense. He thought that
the high office of governor deserved
some recognition. To fine on Sec
ond offense he thought the governor
would not have objected. Most police
officers show more salaries than fines
collected, said DR.. Earle, and the
value of the officer was in preventing
crime by his presence. If the city
enjoined the constables' salaries DR..
Earle thought the governor would
have the right to appoint as many as
say 80 for public good.
Councilman Blalock thought the
city had nothing to gain by fighting.
He termed the governor as brick
wall. Mayor Gibbes said that if Har-
rison Neeley had been Governor Hey
wards chauffeur he would have been
handled just as quickly. Mayor
Gibbes stated that he was absent
from the city when the first arrest
of Nqeley took place. Mayor Gibbes
said that the governor was attempt
ing to take away thousands of dollars
from the city to get back at the city
in the matter of fning the chauffeur.

WILL ADVANCE MONEY.
Carolina National Bank Will Let Gov
ernOr Have Money for Veterans
to go to Gettysburg.

The Carolina National bank has
agreed to discount that joint note of
Governor Blease and General league
to raise an amount sufficient to de-
fray the expenses of approximately
$50 survivors of the battle of Gettys-
burg at a reunion to be held there
during the first of July.
1t was found that the meager ap-
propriation of $1,000 was insufficient
to accommodate all the survivors OF
the historic battle. who desired to at
tend; so Saturday the chief executive
wrote to General league suggesting
that they go on a joint note to defray
the expenses. This arrangement was
accepted by wire on Monday and a
note sufficient to cover the amount
needed was forwarded the governor.
Governor Blease had previously
made arrangements for a friend to
discount the note, but the offer of W.
A. Clark, president of the Carolina
National bank, to honor the paper
was accepted by the chief executive
in letter dated Tuesday.
Mr.. Clark's letter to Governor
Blease follows:
Columbia, S. c., June "a. 1918.
His Excellency Cole L. Blease, Cover
nor. of South Carolina, Colu mbia,
S. C.
Dear Sir: Referring to our conver-
sation had yesterday over the phone,
I desire now to confirm the same and
to say that if desired, the Carolina
National bank will be pleased to dis
count the paper referred to in order
to enable the veterans who partici-
mated in the battle of Gettysburg to
Join in the semi-centennial celebra-
ton of the same.
Just so years ago, the sons Of Car
olina offered their lives, a willing sac
rifce in defense of what we under
stood to be our constitutional rights
and liberties. 1t is, therefore, meet
and proper that the present genera
ton should furnish the means for
these veteran soldiers to participate
in the celebration of that battle, which
afforded the highest test of Amerf-.
can patriotism and heroism.
Yours truly,
(Signed) W. A. CLARK,
President.

National Bank, Columbia, S. c.
NV Dear Sir: Yours of June "a, con-
Fl. ming our conversation over tele-
phone, has been rec.i"ed, and you
have my sincere thanks, personally
and as governor, for the same, and
also desire to thank you on behalf, not
only Of the veterans of South Caro-
lima, but on behalf of the entire peo-
pie of our State, for this very prompt
and generous action on your part A
f,iend of mine very kindly volunteered
to let me have this amount Of money
for this purpose, and will do so-ln
fact, he has it in hard. However, If
it is no inconvenience to your bank,
would prefer as matter OF course
to q business with banking insti-
tuition along this line, especially IN
view of your voluntary kindness. [
will, therefore, accept your offer.
assure you, however, that there will
be no loss in the matter, and that if
the legislature does not make this
note good your bank will tbe saved
perfectly harmless in another way.
