Carpenter, a miner, was arrested last
night in Lamont Hollow, near Esk-
dale, w. Va, by Captain James Wat
son and two soldiers of the militia on

but the man fled to Lamont Hollow,
a desolate mountain retreat. Captain
Watson and his men arrested him in

released from the penitentiary, where
he had been sent by the military COM
mission.
It was discovered, it is said, that
many men heavily armed have been
making Lamont Hollow a meeting
place. The invasion OF the three mem
bers of the military caused several
score of men to scatter.
When arrested Carpenter carried
several revolvers and rifles. Details
OF the alleged plan to kill state Off
cials have not been made public.

Scope Of Committees Investigation Grows
Subpoenas Issued For Manufacture
ers And Other Lobbyists

very word that President Wilson has ut
Ltered in regard to the presence of ar
"insidious lobby" at the capital, Sen
ator Kenyon OF Iowa declared on the
witness stand before the senate inyes-
tigating committee yesterday. 1t was
the first unequivocal statement in
support of the presidents attitude
since the inquiry began.
The Iowa senator exclaimed that he
believed the most insidious and pow
erful" lobby possible was the practice
of flattering senators by having them
out to dinners, to theaters and auto
mobile rides.
| Pointing to the sworn testimony
of Edward Hines, lumber king,
before the Lorimer election investiga-
ton, that he entertained senators at
hotel dinners at a time when the lum-
Der schedule i'll the Payne-Aldrich bill
was before the senate, Senator Ken
yon declared it was his belief that
senators were being entertained in
this insidious way" at present.
He also denounced ex-senators for
capitalizing their privilege on the
floor by using it to lobby. Referring
to one ex-senator representing many
seen on the floor of the senate, he ad
vocated the enactment of legislation
to prohibit an ex-senator from being
lobbyist
Senator Hughes of New Jersey and
Senator James of Kentucky told the
Investigators for the first time of the
trials and tribulations of majority
members OF the finance committee
with the many persons who had
flocked to Washington to present their
views. Neither knew of any attempt
to corrupt senator's, but both suggest
ed they could have done better work
if they had been bothered less. These
senators as did Senator LaFollette who
followed them on the stand, sug-
gested that legislation for the registra-
ton OF lobbyists would be a good
thing.
Senators let it be known yesterday
that they had received by registered
mail what purported to be a reproduc-
tion Of letter from the American
Cane Growers association of the
United States sent to members ask
ing for donations for the use of a |
large commission in Washington.

All willing to Donate Skin.

NORTH YAKIMA, Wn., June A.
II necessary to save the life of little
Eva Robillard, every member of the
local Moose lodge will give a portion
of his skin for grating. The girl was
badly burned when her dress caught
fire. Physicians think there is hope
for her through skin grating. When
the situation was explained to the
Moose lodge, of which the child's ia
ther is a member, sufficient skin was
to give Eva a fighting
chance for recovery.

MAYOR DRIVES
LAST HORSECAR

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4.-Mayor
Rolph drove the last horse car in San
from the ferry building to the scrap
heap. With drivers cap on his head
the mayor took the reins from ]. H.
Lee, who for 26 years had driven
the same car from the Embarcadero
to the foot of Sansome street.
1t was typical-the mayor displaced
the old driver as municipal ownership
had displaced the horse car. But Lee
need not worry for his future. He
will be given job as motorman on
the municipal line as soon as he learns
to handle controller.
Car No. As has been rattling over
the streets of San Francisco for 32
years. Only in New York and San
Francisco have the quaint little boxes
on wheels, with their tiny windows,
swinging oil lamps and low platforms,
persisted after they had outlived their
usefulness and in both cities for the
same reason-the desire to keep alive
franchise rights on lines which, under
the terms Of the grant, could not be
operated by electricity.
BY an agreement consummated yes
terday between the city and the trac-
ton company the municipal line and
the company's Sutter street line gain
access to the ferry building.

WASHINGTON, JUNE 4.-The sub
mittee which is investigating Presi-
dent Wilson's 'insidious lobby" charge
today issued subpoenas for Findlay
Ohio, manufacturers. Among those
reported to have been supoenaed are
Henry Oxnard and Frank Lowery who

Senator Lane of Oregon was the
first witness to testify before the COM

out S. w. Mcclure, secretary of the
wool growers association, who hap
pened to be present in the rear of the
committee room Senator Lane said
chat is one of them What is your
name, anyway" In reply Mcclure
stammered his name Senator Lane
alarmed over the idea that wool is go
ing on the free list?" There was no
further reply from Mcclure.
The senator from Oregon also named
Frank Cheney, a silk manufacturer,
as one of his most persistent callers.
Cheney will in all probability be sub
poenaed. In reply to the question as
to what particular legislation he was
interested in the senator said: Wheat,
oats, barley, fax and potatoes, all of
which products will be most disastri-
iously affected should the Underwood
tariff bill become law. I-have~ not
sought the influence of any senator,
but If l knew of senator who could
be influenced I would hunt him up
just as quickly as / could leave this
chair

Senator Newlands declared that Claus
Spreckels of San Francisco was one of
his callers adding, Il have great con- !
fidence in Spreckels. He is thorough
ly. familiar with everything pertaining |
to sugar and like the rest of his fam
lily is a good fighter" Senator New
lands further testified that Mr.. Spree
kels had expressed an opinion that a
duty of one-half cent per pound on
sugar is fair.

$500 REWARD FOR GREER.
Governor Will Give It for Arrest and
Conviction MANY Attempts Made
to Arrest Him.

Gov. Brewer has. offered a reward
of $500 for the arrest and convic-
tion of j. F. Greer. the absconding
tax collector and sheriff..of Lincoln.
who was charged in 1911 with en-
bezzling $4,000 Of the peoples
money. The reward will be paid
only on conviction.
While the Governor has done no
more than should be done by one in
his position, Jealous of the honor
OF his State and concerned for It's
welfare and that of its citi-
zens, he is to be commended for
bringing again before the people
the matter of Greer's defalcation
that will never rest until it is set
tied and settled right.
Just before Sheriff Smith went
out of Office he, with his deputies,
tracked Greer to jackson; but lost
the trail. Since then our present
Sheriff has been, more than once,
put on his trail, both in Louisiana
and Texas: but with no results.
1t has been rumored for some
time that certain prominent citi-
zen of our town receives regular
communication from Mr.. Greer and
there is little doubt but that he
will be, eventually, apprehended.
Mr.. Greer's disappearance helped
to confirm his guilt in the public's
eve.

CRUSHED BETWEEN CARS
Man With UnprOnouneabIe Name lam
med by Lumber Skidded by
Trains Jolt.

A man with an unpronounceable
name-W. G. Fulliatreauet-fifty-
seven years old, claiming Jackson
as his home and that he had come
from Seattle. Washington, was
badly crushed in the abdomen and
one hand Thursday morning at 3
O'clock. while beating his way on
freight train to this city. Fullia-
treault was pinned between two
cars of lumber, the lumber slipping
and iamming him. An entire
carload had to be unIeaded to re-
move the man and he>was carried
to New Orleans to the hospital at
II o'clock the same day.
A freight train pulled into town
shortly before 8 O'Clock and stop
ped Just as Policeman Jack Lane
was at the crossing in front of
the City Hall. The train only came
to standstilI for a few seconds,
when it started up again with an
unusually strong jolt and lurch. A
scream or rather whine of pain
followed, so strongly resembling
the cry of cat, mingled with the
noise of the moving tJain that the
officer picked up couple of brick
bats to hurI at the supposed animal.
He immediately discovered his mis-
take and understood that man
was crying out and calling for
assistance.
He was located between two cars
OF lumber, pinned so close that he
could hardly move and in excru-
ciating agony. As the train Jolt
ed in starting the lumber skidded.
By signals of the brakeman the cars
were halted opposite the depot,
assistance was summoned and al
most an entire carload of timber
had to be thrown off before the
victim could be extricated. Drs.
Parsons and Collins took charge of
the unfortunate and gave him all
the attention that was possible,
later sending him to New Orleans.

HOW THE LAMpTOAS. OF PIKE.
HANDLE THE SYRUP CROP

The Leader addressed the Lamp
ton Mercantile Co.. Of Magnolia,
an inquiry last week regarding the
handling of syrup by that we'll
known firm and was gratified to
receive in reply from MIR. E. w.
Reid. Secretary of the Company.
the following reply which we take
pleasure in placing before our
readers:
We commenced several years
ago working up trade on syrup.
|selIing.a few gallons at different
places, a few cases and a few bar
ffsaIs. until last season we shipped
in 1oshing but car load lots. The
canned goods we're sent to aII points
in Texas. having been sold during
the summer. for >lsall shipment, by
our representative.
By stating 'our representatives,
| mean that our connections in
Texas have their travelling saIesmen
out all the time booking orders for
fall delivery. The barreled goods
we sell direct to the retineries.
| believe the failure of merchants
to handle syrup properly is due to
the lack of precaution on their part
in accepting any. and all grades of
syrup. do not mean any criticism
on the farmers, but if you do not
examine every barrel in every lot
of syrup you receive, or know who
it is from. it will ruin your trade.
1 remember about six years ago,
We had secured quite a territory in
Tennessee to handle barreIed syrup
and lost the entire trade purely on
account of inferior goods being
shipped; so when we made another
effort to find a market, we were
very particular to know that our
farmers brought nothing but the
best goods. After a man hauls a
load of cans or barrels 10 or 15
miles and has them turned down on
him.. you may rest assured he is
particular next time. 1t is purely
a process Of education for the farm
er, the merchant and the retail
dealer.
Our goods are sold direct to job
bers in Texas. the labels on the
cans stating that the goods are
packed by the farmer and that
there is nothing added to or de-
Quoted from the syrup and this
label usually makes excuses. by its
mere statement, for whatever con-
dition the cans may be in. OF course
the cans come from some of the
farmers in more or less soiled
condition. and we are compelled to
have them ell cleaned. as much as
possible, and Of uniform appear
ance; however. thus FAR we have
been very successful and I have
already sold, for fall delivery 1913.
