start today when the house ways
and means committee began it's

With a full membership of the

themselves to the formulation of
tentative tariff legislation which
it is hoped to have ready by the

The concrete result of the de-
liberations will be formally pass
ed upon at caucus of the repre-

Lancaster comfy has lost one
of her most prominent citizens in
the death of Mr.. T. w. McMur-
ray, which sad event occurred at
Richburg, Chester county, at an
early hour last Sunday morning.
Mr.. McMurray suffered stroke
of paralysis some two years ago
and since then never regained
his wonted strength. Shortly af-
ter suffering this stroke he was
taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital
for treatment from which he re-
ceived only temporary benefit.
Early this year he removed from
Lancaster county to Richburg.
Mr.. McMurray was a leading
citizen in his community and was
respected by all who knew him.
He was upright, honest and fair
in all his dealings, a man of splen-
did common sense, a noble Chris
tian gentleman. Having con-
nected himself in early life with
the Presbyterian church, he was
for many years before his death
ruling elder in the Tirzah
church. He was about sixty-five
years Of age. He was twice
married, his first wife being Miss
Alice Crockett, by whom he had
two children, only one of whom,
DR.. Crockett McMurray of Alb
beville, is now living. The Sec
ond son, Mr.. Otis McMurray was
killed in Georgia by a shifting
engine several years ago.
His second wife, who was Miss
Addie brennan of Richburg, sur
wives him with the following Sis
ter and brothers, viz: Mrs. S.
A. Faulkner, w. Fl. P. and Rob-
ert H. McMurray all of this coun-
ty and j. H. McMurray of Fort
Mill. He was a son of the late
j. Harvey McMurray.
The funeral services were held
at Richburg, being conducted by
his brother-in-law, Rev. j. T..
Dendy of the Ebenezer Presby-
terian church, and the remains
inferred there at one O'Clock
Monday afternoon.

HAGUE TRIBUNAL
NOT TAFT'S CHOICE
Would Submit Canal Question to
Arbitration. Prefers New Board.

Washington, Jan. 2,-Presi-
den Taft is willing to submit to
arbitration the questions at
issue between Great Britain and
the United States over canal
tolls, but he does not favor ar
bitration by the Hauge tribunal.
This fact became know here to-
night upon the Presidents re-
turn from New York. Although
he has not yet given the matter
of a tribunsl much thought, the
President probably would prefer
a special board of arbitration
composed of an equal number of
citizens of the United States and
Great Britain. Such was to be
the composition of the arbitral
court be proposed to settle any
vital question arising between
nations when he spoke in behalf
of the arbitration treaties.
The President has EXPRESSED
to friends the views that at The
Hague all Europe would be
against this nation and that the
moral pressure on the court
would be enormous because all
Europe is interested in the Pana-
ma tolls just as much as in Eng
land. In court on which only
Great Britain and the United
States were represented, it is
argued, there would be much
better chance of a fair decision.
Several Democratic senators have
voiced the opinion that special
tribunal be created to arbitrate
this dispute.

HUSBAND BEFORE
u. S. SENATE
Will Testify at Impeachment Trial
of Accused Jurist.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The cli-
max of the impeachment trial of
Judge Robert w. Archibald, of
the commerce court, was reached
when the senate court reconvened
today prepared to hear the testi-
mony of Judge Archibald himself
and of Mrs. Archibald. The ac-
cused jurist has determined, after
consultation with his attorneys,
to take the stand to answer per-
sonally questions as to his rela-
tions with railroad officials and
charges that he had ed his
judicial office to influence rail-
roads to make advantageous coal
land deals with him in the Scran-
ton, Pa, fields.
Mr.. Archibald was to tell of the
kinship between himself and
Henry w. Cannon, whose invita-
tion to Archibald to enjoy an Eu-
ropean trip at his expense has
brought into the impeachment
case as indicating Judge Arch
bald's right of favors from pos
sible litigants.

Meeting of Teachers Last Saturday.

The meeting of the Lancaster
County Educational Association
held here last Saturday was per-
haps the most interesting in the
history of that organization.
Several very able papers were
read and the general discussions
were much enjoyed. Yet the at
tendance at this meeting was
only about eighteen. Except for
the teachers from the various
sections of the county, there
would hardly have been a quorum
present. This is very discourag
ing to the committee who had
arranged the program and had
worked for a large attendance.
We hope the next meeting will
be much fuller on, with a bet.

EVANS CHARGED
WITH FORGERY
Attorney General Lyon Accuses
Columbia Attorney.

Columbia, S. G. special to At
lanta Journal of Jan. 6.-Pro-
ceedings looking to the disbar-
ment of Barnard B. Evans, a
member of the Columbia bar,
were ins tituted this morning in
the supreme court when Attorney
General Lyon filed with the
court a petition bringing serious
allegations against Mr.. Evans.
The allegations charge that
Evans has been guilty of forgery,
collecting money on premiums
for an insurance company, which
he never turned over to them,
and that he slandered Sheriff
Sample, Senator Crouch and Mr..
Able, of Saluda, referring to them
in his campaign speech at Spar
tanburg last summer as blind
tigers and thieves" The court
took the papers under considera-
tion.
Evans was an opponent of
Lyon in the race for attorney
general last summer, and his Sc
rious charges against the attor-
ney general were denounced by
the latter who termed him as
"forger and thief" at the cam,
paign meeting at Spartanburg
last summer. Mr.. Lyon said he
was going to prosecute Mr.. Evans
for slander.
/, The papers filed with the court
charge that Mr.. Evans forged
the names of two Edgefield men
to notes which he discounted at
local bank, and when the bank
brought suit against the alleged
signers, the facts of the forgery
came out. Copies of the testi-
mony at the trials were placed
with the court.
Another allegation is that
Evans, while an attorney at Sa-
luda, collected an account. which
had been placed in his hands by
the Murray Drug company, of
Columbia, and that he kept the
money. Still another allegation
is that while representing an in
surance company of Baltimore.
he collected over $500 in pre-.
miums belonging to that com.
pany, which he never turned
over to them.

50 intense is the popular feeling in
Ulster against Home Rule that any
attempt at this time to suppress these
clubs would merely precipitate the
conflict. Anyhow, the present admin-
istration is none too sure of another
years continued tenure of office to
make such a procedure politically ad-
visable. Recent bye-elections have
resulted either in Unionist victories
or in tremendous increases in the
number of Unionist voters, and there
is the ever present danger of az ad-
verse division in parliament on some
important question. which would
mean general election and the more
than possible defeat at the polls of the
Liberal -Labor-Nationalist coalition.
listers present attitude is that 1t

comes an established fact-but there
is still chance that the present par
lament will go out of existence be-
fore it can place the bill on the stat

How does this affect our relations

There is a very distinct feeling in
Vienna that Montenegro is doomed.
The sparsely populated country is now

possible to say Money of course, goes

accustomed to such simple life and
little help will enable them to tide

Montenegro will be glad to form some
kind of union with Servia, with a
common army, and that here will be
no duties imposed on Servian produce

will enjoy similar advantages in Mon

although it is not considered likely
that he will remain on the throne
much longer. The desire to see him
abdicate may of course, be father to
the thought that he will go; but the
belief in the instability of his throne
seems based on stronger grounds than
these, and probably on special infor-
