animation had not been concluded

The negro earlier in the day ac-
cused the defendant of being a dcgen-
crate. and charged that Frank killed
the little factory girl because she re-
pulsed his attentions.
While this sensational testimony re-
suited in q court order barring women
from the trial. no reference was made
directly in the cross examination to
this part OF the negro's testimony.

tion after question at the negro in

ton OF the activities of Martin NJ Null
hall for the National Association OF

tion Of committees on both sides of

time since the lobbyist" made his
startling charges a month ago. The
House Investigating committee will
begin its work with the examination
OF Louis Seibold, OF the New York

turning over TO that newspaper OF
the Mulhall correspondence. When
Mulhall is called on the House side,
there will he no Wholesale identifca-
tion of his letters by investigating

questioned closely hrst as to justin
cation for bringing in the names of
men who are members OF the present

qnainiance he really had among its

Mulhan will be dealt with much
less leniently than he has been by the
Senate committee. He probably will
be called Wednesday, and may be on
the stand several weeks. Several
times during his examination on the
Senate side. the lobbyist hinted at
explosions he might cause when he got
TO the House, and II is generally agreed
that he referred TO stories of adven-

letters from Mulhall to-day, which the
lobbyist said proved some of the state

Senator Reed will examine these,
and may put Mulhall on the stand

The committee had its usual lively
time to-day. Senator Townsend start
cd it by denying that he had held con-
fidential con9er sations with Mulhall in
his Office when he was a member OF
the House. He declared such state
mcnts to he absolutely false. Mir.
Townsend's denial was followed closely
by a protest from Robert McCarter,
attorney for the National Association
of Manufacturers, against rccentncws-

argued, showed the case prejudEed

Uhe Un1tci states war department
has withdrawn all Federal aid from
the organized militia of South Caro-
lima and the plans for encamping the
three regiments this summer may
have 30 be abandoned Funds for this
purpose come out of the allotment of
Federal aid to this State, amounting
to about $3.50 yearly. and the taking
away of this money leaves nothing for
payment of the encampment expenses.
SECRETARY of War Lindley W. Garri-
son notified Governor Bleasc by letter
of the Withdrawal of the Federal funds
from the South Carolina militia, and
Brig. Gen. Mills tclegraphcd the same
Information to Adit. Cen. Moore, say
ing this action was taken because Of

than to see South Carolina relieved
of its iniquitous provisions" In ii
dictated interview he said the Legis-
lature would probably repeal the
Dick law and he would sing "Hallelu-
jah, praise the Lord! South Carolina
Is once again free from the domination
Of Yankee uniforms and once more
in control Of her own State militia"
Adjt. Gen. Moore refused to make
any comment on the following mat
ter.

gram from Gen. Mills to Adjt Gen

beginning Yesterday Packages can
be Sent G. o. ID. by Parcels Post.

Beginning yesterday patrons of the
parcels post could send packages C.
o. ID. for charge of ten cents, ac-
cording to information and instru-
tions received at the local postoflice.
The additional cost of ten cents. to
be paid in parcel post stamps will al
so include the charge of insuring the
package, to an amount not exceeding
$50.
The collection for packages through
the postoflicc system, is decidedly
new feature of postal work, and nat
urally it's adoption in connection with
the parcels post is somewhat of an
experiment. the result of which will
be watched with considerable inter
est. Packages thus sent c. o. ID. may
be sent only from money order Office.
and only 10 a money order office. The
amount to be collected cannot exceed
$lOO on any one packapc
The remittance to the sender of
the packages vii ho by money order.
Whcn the addreaseo receives the
package, he signs receipt. which
is considered rs his application for n
money order for the amount called
for upon the package With this re-
ceipt-&pplication. the postmaster
makes ont a money order TO rthe ac-
count and returns it to the sender
OF the package. While the instuc-
tions so far received do not give spe-
cilic information upon this point, it
is believed tina tthe rcmitting party
Will have TO pay the regular money
order fees upon the amount so re-
mitted.
One feature about c. o. ID. Business
which should be carefully noted, is
that the addrcsscc will not be permit
ted to examine the package before
paying for it. He will not be given an
opportunity to examine it, until he
has paid his money and ben given
receipt. This precludcs the possibili-
ty of sending a package subject to cx-
animation through the c. o. D.. metod
If the reviewing party finds, after he
has gotten the package, that he does
not want to accept it he cannot then
refuse payment If he declines to ac-
ccpt the package at all, it must be be-
fore the payment is made.
