IL is understood that copy OF
this letter was also sent to Judge X.

zcns of sumter. Gov. Blcasc stated
today that the law provides for i'm
mediate suspension of officials
charged with cmbczzlcmcnt upon a
true bill being found 10y the grand
Jury. but does not SO provide for amy
other oncnscs of public officials and
hc takes the Position that a man is
innocent until proved guilty. For this
reason nc awaits the verdict of the

Hardy is strongly rec 1mmcndcd i'm the

RUN OVER OBSTRUCTION|STS.
SO TILLMAN ADVISES WILSON ON
CURRENCY BILL.
Senior Senator and Representative
johnson Call at White House
Tilfman Says Present Course of
Senate Committee is Blocking Pro-
gress on Bill-Declares Arguments
OF Witnesses Have Been Heard
Many Times Before.

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Till
man and Representative Joseph T.
Johnsoy', of South Carolina, called at
the House today and discussed
the of the currency bill with
P . at Wilson. They strongly EN-
q d the executives stand against
y adjournment or recess of con-
Tess until the measure is passed.
On leaving the presidents office Sem
ator Tillman said to the newspaper
men when asked the cause of his visit:
Il came here to urge President Will
son ta run the freight train right over
the o ,..uctiOnists who are holding
up t currency bill. The present
cOU Sc of the committee on banking
and currency is merely the blocking
Of the bill. All the arguments of wit
ness being heard before it we have
heard time and time again. The COM
mittee seems to be playing the old
time Aldrich game of trying to edu-
cate the public with emphasis on the
"educate'), but the public does not
need to be educated.
Personally, 1 think something
ought to be done, so that we can be
assured of an early report on the bill,
and pass it before the special session
is Over.'
That President Wilson was pleased
with the visit of the two South Caro-
linians was evident, but it was impos-
sible to learn what reply, if any, he
made to their suggestions as to the
methods Of expediting the passage of
the bill.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Wilson
is deeply concerned over the situation
though it is stated at the White
House that reports from the senate
are growing more and more favor
able. Hardly anybody outside of the
White House believes that there is
~tae slightest chance of action On' tRre.
currency bill before the regular ses..
sion. Too much time was consumed
on the tariff.

Welsh MINERS ENT0MBED.
EXPLOSION STARTS FLAMES AND
GASES IN UNIVERSAL
MINES.
Though Rcscucrs Soon Arrive and
Over 500 Escape, Death Toll of Col
licry Is Expected to Pass the 400
Mark-A Fiery Pit.


possibly the greatest in the history Of
the South Wales coal fields, whose an
nails are bristling with terrible catas-
trophies, occurred yesterday through
an explosion in the Universal col
liery near here. Shortly after the
day shift Of 931 men entered the mine
an explosion shattered the works.
During the day and early in the
night about 500 miners were brought
to the surface alive.
After midnight rescuing parties be-
gan to get the fire under control and
at 2.30 this morning 20 more men
were found alive at the bottom of the
pit. This gave hope that others may
be found, but there still is prObabil-
ity that nearly 400 men perished.
Including the bodies recovered at
the pit head, the known death roll
numbers 16. Doctors with oxygen
and medicine descended the shaft
early today. a crowd of 10000 dis
tracted persons surrounded the pit
head all night and another 5000 wait
ed at the Cardiff station for news.
All the men in the east side of the
mine had reached the surface by 4
o'clock but AIS were still in the work
ings in the west side which were on
hre.
Col Pearson, chief inspector of
mines, in giving this information to
the press late in the afternoon. added
''The fire is in the intake airwa.
and everything is being done to cope
with it. We are hoping to the last
1t was at first stated that the day
shift was composed Of TAO men, but
later the larger figure was given out
by the officials. About 500 were
brought to the surface alive by rescue
parties up to noon and the managers
OF the mine then expressed the opin-
ion that there was no further hope
for those remained below. =
The day shift descended the shafcs
in the cages at o'clock. An hour
afterward a deafening report brought
the inhabitants in the vicinity of the
mine running to the pit head, where
they found the ventilating and hoist
ing machinery at the top of the shafts
had been blown to atoms by an eX-
plOsiOn Of great violence. A man
who had been working GO feet away
had been decapitated by the force Of
the blast.
Rescue parties Of miners belong
ing to the night shift were soon on
the scene making preparations to en-
ter the mine in an cndcavOr to save
their comrades. The fiery reputation
Of the mine, however gave little nope
that any Of those below could be res
cued alive.
An entrance was found by way of
an adjacent shaft. On descending
the rescuing parties came across sew
eral groups of men huddled together
In portion of the mine where the
air was still good. BY noon they had
picked up and brought to the sur
face altogether 500.
The same pit was the scene of an
explosion IS years ago when 20
miners lost their lives Only one of
hn1n of huf
alive.

WILL HAVE FAIR TREATMENT.
Mrs. Pankhurst Will not Be Dis

riyal

Mrs. PankhurSt Will not Be Dis
criminated Against upon Her Ar
rival.
Washington, Oct. 14.-Commission
er General Caminetti Of the immi-
grafton bureau issued a statement to-
night defending the bureaus attitude
toward Mrs. Pankhurst, the British
suffragette, who is due to arrive in
New York the latter part of this
week. He said:
THE report that the bureau Of
immigration or department OF labor or
any officer of either had directed OF
intimated that Mrs. Emmeline Pank-
hurst will on her arrival at New York
be held for examination by a board
of special inquiry at Ellis Island is
without foundation. The bureau and
the department have no power to or
der admission or rejection, except
on appeal. Mrs. Pankhurst will be
treated respectfully but just like any
other applicant and this is all any
officer of the bureau or department
can authoritatively assert"
Officials at immigration headquar-
tcrs, besieged on one side with pro-
tests against Mrs Pankhurst's admis-
sion and on the other with protests
against her exclusion, are taking pains
not to put themselves in the position
of doing anything which might be
construed as prejudicing her case.

lows: Yours OF the 1th containing
presentmcnt of grand jury i'm refer
ence To Magistrate Wells has been
received. 1 am satisfied hat If your
grand jury would report every man
upon the same kind of evidence, that
a good many other people of Sumter
would be in your court.
Il am further satisfied that il was
the duty OF your Solicitor To give this
man an Immediate trial, as per his re-
quest. and not held him under this
Indictment until the next term OF
court and 1 am further satisfied that
IL he had been tried, he would have
been acquitted. AMI for these reasons
the matter will be left standing ex-
actly where II Is, until "a petit jury
OF your county passes upon il. II they
should render verdict of guilty, then

Wells. III they render verdict OF not
guilty, 1 will have no further duty TO
perform In the matter. OF course. IL
Mr.. Wells Is guilty it is a very serious
ohense. for no young man nor old
nan In South Carolina has even been
guilty of the like before. therefore.
there should be made an example OF
and given the ssverest punishment
allowed under the law, j am satis-
lied that none Of these whose names
appear as witnesses have ever been
guilty OF cohabiting with negro
woman and 1 am also satisfied that
none of them have even been guilty
OF any unlawful cohabitation with
any white woman and most assuredly
no member OF the grand jury that
found this bill has ever been guilty
OF adultery or fOrnication, either
with a white or black woman, be-
cause IL they had been. no such report
could have ever been presented to
the Judge for, from what l know of
Sumter jurors. l am sure they would
not have violated that command
which the Savior once gave, namely:
Lot him who Is guiltless cast the first
stone. and had there been one
guilty on this panel. he surely would
have remembered that command of
Christ and would have refused to cast
the stone. Therefore. Mr.. Wells should
be most severely punished for his
wilful and malicious violation of the
law.
Respectfully.
