HUSBAND
MURDERED Wife
Donald JadWin Then Took
His Own Life

San Francisco, Jan. a. - Donald
Jadwin, son of a wealthy Brooklyn
family shot and instantly killed his
wife, Minna Van Vergen Jadwin, well
known in society here, as she sat at
dinner with other members of the
family last night He then shot him
self, inf1icting a wound from which he
died two hours later.
They had been married seven months
and until short time ago had been
leaders in the smart circle, in which
Mrs. Jadwin's family held high place.
She was 19 years old and her husband
six years older According to mem
bers of the family, Jadwin and his
wife quarrelled ten days ago and the
young man left the house in rage.
Last night when all the family, in
Guiding the young mans wife, mother,
grandmother, aunt and brother, were
at dinner, Jadwin came into the din
ingroom, APPARENTLY happy and ready
for conciliation. He approached his
wife smiling, kissed her tenderly and
in a flash whipped out two pistols and
shot twice.
Both bullets Sok effect and the
young woman died instantly. Before
the Mortified relatives could move, Jad-
win placed the muzzle of one of the
revolvers to his head and pulled the
trigger.
The wedding of the dashing young
woman, who was soon to become a
mother, and Jadwin was one Of the
leading society events of the city last
June.
Until recently Jadwin spent all of
his time at home or at the clubs, in
several of which he held membership.
From his father he had inherited a
substantial interest in a wholesale drug
company in Brooklyn, now conducted
by his brothers. For the last few
weeks he had been connected with the
auditing department of the General
ePtroleum Company.

BOND ISSUE
WOULD give
BEST BRIDGES
FUNDS NEEDED FOR PURPOSE
Sentiment Seems TO Favor
the Issue

Every brige in Sumter county, and
there are nearly half hundred such
structures, will be put in a condition
of permanency if the proposed bond is
sue of $4,000, as ordered by the
county commissioners, is voted in the
election for bridge and culyert bonds,
which will be held on February 26th.
Not only will the bridges be placed In
tirst-class condition but permanent
concrete culyerts will be constructed
likewise, as portion of the bond is
sue is designated for culyert construc-
ton.
While Sumter county has built sew
eral steel bridges within the past two
years, and found them an excellent in
vestment, the commissioners earnest
ly desire to greatly extend this work
of bridge and eulvert improvement in
the general work done Upon the roads
of the county this year.
From the standpoint of economy. the
commissioners assert, the substitution
CT steel bridges for the many wooden
structures now doing service, is desir-
aole. The wooden bridges demand con-
stant repairs, and at the present high
price of lumber the cost bill during a
year is very great.
If steel bridges are constructed in
place of the wooden bridges there will
De no cost bills for repairs, as the
work once done will last for long
number of years.
The proposed bonds will extend over
a period of thirty years, $4,000 of the
issue being retired each year. 1t costs
a great deal more than $4,000 a year
now to keep mp the bridges and cul-
verts, the commissioners say, and this
statement is a strong argument in
favor of the bond issue. Sumter
county's fine graded roads are the
pride of every resident of the county,
and it is believed that the progressive
step advocated by the commissioners
will be endorsed by the voters of the
county in the election on February
26th.

negro THIEVES MADE
RAIDS ON HOUSES
Negro Crooks Are BUSily at
Work

Several Americus ladies have been
victimized quite recently through a
species of thievery skillfully worked
by two or three negro men who, sing
ly, have called at residences ostensi
bly, to purchase old furniture, and
would come back later and steal from
the house whatever they could.
One lady residing on Lamar street
had stolen three handsome old ma
hogany chairs, which later the thieves
sold to a lady residing on Lee street,
along with other chairs stolen from
another residence. A pair of handsome
old brass andirons of much value were
stolen from a Church street residence
and sold to lady residing upon the
same street, not block away.
The thieves to gain entrance to res
licences, would express a desire to
buy anything cast off in the way 1t
furniture, but this was only ruse to
locate other articles wanted, and which
they secured later when they found nc
one at home.

TO
HAVE SUPPORT
OF SENATE
Such PROMISE IS MADE him
Old Members Will Get The
Big PIUmS
(Copyright.)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 14-Presi-
dent-elect Wilson's declaration at
Trenton yesterday that he would
pick only progressives for the work
of the new administration" brought
from democratic leaders of the senate
today statements that the new presi
dent would have the support of
united democratic majority in the SEN
ate when he began his presidential
term.
Efforts to unite the democrats with
the control virtually given to the pro-
gressives have been so far successful
and leaders predict that there will be
no open break in the organization of
the new senate.
THE reorganization element" will
| it is understood, yield the chairman
ships of committees to the older sem
ators entitled to them by rank, but
will insist upon a full vote in the
control of each committee and in the
selection of it's members.
Senators Martin and Hoke Smith,
recognized as the leaders of the demo-
cratic forces in the senate, both re-
fused to see in the remarks of the
president-elect any especial reference
to the situation in the senate AMI
both predicted a harmonious settle
ment of all differences in that body
81 don't understand why any demo-
crat should be surprised at the dec
laration Of Governor Wilson that he
is in accord with the progressive poll
cies of the day." said Senator Martin.
81 am sure he will find the democratic
party in the senate solidly with him
in the views he expresses. GER
tainly know of no dissent from them. -
Senator Smith said: Il do not ap-
prehend any discord among the demo-
Gratis of the senate. I believe that
harmonious plan of reorganization
will be adopted, practically doing away
with the old hard and fast rule Of
seniority, and yet recognizing the
value Of the services of those who
have been for long time in the
senate.

SPECIAL TAX
COMES SLOW
TO TREASURY
FIRMS ARE VERY DlLATORY
In Paying Their License
Taxes to the City

City Marshal Smith is out after the
firms in the city who are due the reg
ular special tax or city license fees for
the current year. Many of these firms,
which include all the merchants and
business men of the city, are tardy in
paying their special tax.
This tax is really due January l, and
it should all be in the city treasury by
February l at the latest. But it is true
here, or has been true in the past, thai
some of the licenses are not paid until
as late in the year as June. This is
manifestly holding off the city too long,
and it will be the purpose of the city
officials this year to tighten uY the
collection of this special tax.
Many business men and firms in the
city have become negligent as regards
paying this tax. 1t is matter that is
ust as important, however, as the state
tax, and it will be the effort of NUM-
cipal authorities here to secure the tax
just as soon as is possible this year.

DAVANT Won
MAYORALTY
IN HOT Fight
BY ABOUT 800 MAJORITY
$4,000 Changed Hands on
Bets
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Savannah, Ga, Jan. --latest re-
turns from the municipal race here
tonight indicate that Richard A. Da-
want has defeated George P. Walker
for mayor by approximately 500 ma
jority. The contest was hard-fought,
and was one of the hottest municipal
races ever known here.
Captain Davant was defeated two
years ago for the mayoralty by Mayor
George Tiedeman, the majority of the
administration candidate being at that
time about $50. Mr.. Walker repre-
sented the administration forces, which
Mayor Tiedeman refused to lead in
the municipal fight again. 1t may be
seen from this that there has been d
revulsion of sentiment here since the
former election.
Captain Davant is an officer in the
Chatham artillery, the well known
local military organization, and has
host of friends and political support
ers. 1t is estimated that there was as
much as thirty thousand dollars bet
on the election. AS a result of the
election of Captain Davant there will
be numerous changes in city offices.
The mayoralty election was attend
ed by the usual brisk excitement that
characterizes close contests of this
kind here, though there was no open
violence. Thomas G.. Hudson, of
Americas, was an interested specta-
tor.
