GeOrgians In Accord.

The action of the judiciary commit
tee, while apparently precipitate and
unexpected was not surprising to
members of the Georgia delegation.
1t was learned today that the Georgia
congressman and the judiciary COM
mittee are in perfect accord as to the
proper method of procedure in the
case.
The Georgians feel that the proper
parliamentary stage has not been
reached to warrant action on tn ;
part Of any of their number. 1t is
the unanimous belief of the delega-
ton that the charges against Speer
should be fully investigated by the
judiciary committee before the dele
cation determines as to what action,
if any, it should take, This plan
will give Speer an opportunity to
present his side of the case and dis
prove, if possible, the accusations
that have been lodged against him.
If the judiciary committee, after
its inquiry decides the charges have
been sufficiently substantiated -
warrant further proceedings then,
and then only, will the motion to i'm
peach be made in the house. 4
Georgia congressman will undoubt-
eddy make the formal motion and the
house will call for the papers in the
case, so that it may vote intelligentlv
Bartlett Won't Talk.
Congressman Bartlett acting for
the delegation. devoted most of yec-
terday to reading the charges against
Speer. He declined today to discuss
the character of the charges or give
any indication as to how they i'm
pressed him.
The fact, however, that the COM
mittee has directed it's chairman t.
offer formal resolution, thus bring
ing the matter to the attention of the
house officially = taken to mean tha'
the members of the committee have
been impressed with the gravity o.
the charges.

JUDICIARY COM.
ASKS AUTHORITY
TO INVESTIGATE

Washington, D. C. August 26.-The
judiciary committee of the house
after reading more of the charges
against United States Judge Emory
Speer yesterday directed Chairman
Henry D. Clayton to present resolu-
ton to the house authorizing the
committee to proceed with a full and
complete investigation of the accu
sations against the jurist.
Judge Clayton will introduce this
resolution at todays session of the
house, and will ask it's immediate
consideration. 1t is anticipated that
the resolution will be passed without
serious opposition, after which, thu
committee will arrange for a special
inquiry into all phases of the case.
From what Judge Clayton said to
a newspaper correspondent today, fol-
lowing the committee meeting, it is
believed that a special subcommittee
will be appointed to take testimony III
Georgia and to give Judge Speer am
pie opportunity to be heard. Judge
Speer has indicated that while he de-
sires to be heard, his health will not
permit him to visit Washington az
this season of the year. He is a SUI

Revision of Pension Roll

To the Veterans of York County:
A meeting of the Pension Board OF
York county will be held in the clerk OF
courts office at Yorkville on the first
Monday in March, the 3rd, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the changes since
the last report Of the deaths OF the
pensioners of York county. It will be
important to get the assistance OF the
veterans to aid the pension board In
making the changes. 1t is, therefore,
desirous that those who are to meet
with us in March will come prepared to
furnish authentic evidence so as to
have an accurate report. A copy Of this
notice will be sent to several papers in
the county, and 1t is hoped that the
people will interest themselves in this
matter. The rolls of the veterans are
rapidly thinning and it is desirous to
have as much accuracy as possible to
report to the state pension board.
Respectfully,
Iredell Jones, Chairman,
Pension Board York County.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY as, 1913

Unquestionably the most serious
fight that has yet been made on the
"old guard" of Democrats In the SEN
ate, SAYS the Washington correspon-
dent of the News and Courier, has de-
veloped from the consent OF Senator
Kern, of Indiana, to become a candi-
date for the caucus chairmansnlp
against Senator Thomas s. Martin, or
Virginia, the present Democratic chair
man. It Is being said that the fight Is
mainly directed against Senator Mar
tin, but there Is no doubt that 1t In
wolves also Senator Simmons, OF North
Carolina; Senator Tillman, OF South
Carolina, and the whole question OF Sc
niority, which seemed, until the past
few days, to have been settled In favor
of retaining the existing system with a
few notifications. If the 'progressives'
can get Martins scalp they can get the
scalps of Simmons and Tillman also
and are not likely to stop before doing
so. This the old men know and the
fight has become very close and bitter,
with the chances still probably in IA
vor of the seniors when 1t comes to a
show down. One or two votes may de-
eide the whole matter and this accounts
for the glee of the progressives in get
ting Senator Kern to be their candi-
date. They feel sure that his colleague
from Indiana, Senator Shively, would
vote for him, especially as the electloh
of Kern as caucus chairman would take
him off the finance committee ana
leave that place for Shively. Tne ap,
pearance Of Senator Kern in the nelo
against Senator Martin is signihcant
in that It suggests the active entrance
of William ]. Bryan into the senate
suuabble. The fact is that, having rec
ognized. this mistake in going too far
in pushing the claim Of Representative
Henry of Texas, to be attorney gener-
al I'm the Wilson cabinet, and having
apparently reached a basis OF ADJUST
ment, which means the nomination OF
CONGRESSMAN A. Mitchell Palmer, OF
Pennsylvania, to be secretary OF tne
treasury, and Representative A. >.
Rurleson to be the Texas man In the
cabinet, the Nebraskan has plunged
into the senate fight with all the force
he can muster. Mr.. Bryan Is writing
personal letters and doing everything
he can to stimulate his followers In
the senate to join the attack on Mar
tin. II that redoubt is carried other
redoubts Of seniority in the senate Will
be stormed with the same ferceness'
and II the fight Of the progressives sue
ceeds In the senate 1t will, In all prop.
ability, go over into the mouse ana
overthrow tne leduerShP W -ui.
derwood and Speaker Clark, putting
radical Bryan men in the saddle The
seniors In the senate have the advan-
tage of position, experience and organ,
ization. They have always won and
have a good chance of doing so again:
The president elect is taking no part
in the senate conflict, but that fact Is
not restraining Mr.. Bryan in the least.
The air is full of electricity around the
capitol and everybody Is on the qul
vive, remembering the sensational part
played by Mr.. Bryan at the Baltimore
convention.

Devils Lake, n. D, Aug. 20.--With
two unidentified laborers known to be-
dead, the charred skeletons of five
cars strewn along the right of way,
the end of one of which smashed it's
way through the side of an elevator
carrying that structure off it's founda-
tion and leaving it hopeless wreck.
the people of Crary, twelve miles east
of Devils Lake, where Great Northern
No. l was wrecked last night are to-
day unable to understand how none of
the 800 persons in the cars suffered
injuries which can be termed serious
in any way.
In two minutes after the crash oc-
Cured, the five overturned cars were
a mass of flames How the passen-
gers in the front coaches escaped no
one is able to explain. In record time
a relief train was made up in Devils
Lake, taking doctors, nurses and fire
fighters to the scene. Every available
chemical fire extinguisher in the city
was secured and with the aid OF the
Crary fire fighters, the flames were ex-
tinguished -~
Harry Maher of Devils Lake. with
the relief party, sustained injuries
While fighting the flames when a gas
tank exploded, rendering him uncon-
scious, but inf1icting no serious injury.
The wreck occurred in the railway
y,
ing the tender off the track, after the
engine had passed over in safety.
Jumping wide on the rails, the baggage
car directed the day coach, directly at
the Duluth elevator The force of the
crash was terrific. stopping the prog
ress of the other cars and at the same
time wrecking the elevator.
Had the cars been thrown on the
north side of the track, the entire tram
would have been precipitated over an
embankment into slough. AS it was,
the four rear cars of the heavily load d
train remained on the track.
That the two victims, whose remains
were an unrecognizable mass, were
riding on the rods, was the conclusion
reached by the authorities on the
ground last night
Mrs. E. J. Hicks of Kalamazoo,
Mich, suffered decorations of the hand
and the dislocation of her arm.
Edgar Hammond OF Beloit Wis,
suffered lacerated hand.
Mrs. Fred Smith of Gilletta, Mont,
received injuries to her arm
Fireman Fl. Falkenger of Grand
Forks was the only member of the
train crew to be hurt and this morn
ing it is believed his condition is only
the result of a bad shaking up.

Sherbrooke; Quebec, Aug. 20s--Pro-
tracted conferences between three
Canadian lawyers retained to oppose
Harry K. Thaw's deportation. to the
United States, indicated that his pre-
linninary arraignment in court would
be postponed at least until tomorrow
and possibly a week. .-..
No announcement to this. effect was
made, but Charles D. White employed
over night to lead the Thaw legal
forces, delayed throughout the fore-
noon in applying for the writ of habeas
corpus necessary to produce Thaw in
court, and at noon an imatient crowd
was wearied by waiting for the ap-
pearance of Thaw. Later 1t was learn
ed that Thaw's lawyer would request
the case be put over.
A man giving his name as Mitchell
Thompson. believed to be Roger
Thompson implicated in Thaw's es-
cape, was arrested while lettering about
the courthouse this afternoon.
Since his arrival here Thaw money
has poured into Sherbrooke. An ALI
enlist has already been tentatively en-
gagged. Thaw would welcome any test
of sanity, III is said.
Thaw spent the night in the hospital
ward of the Jail in this little border
town and this morning, at urgent tele-
graphic demands of the family, re-
tained new counsel to fight deporta-
tion to the United States.
George Lauder Carnegie, a brother
In law, wired that he was Fastening
here with Thaw's sister, Margaret. and
cautioned delay in all proceedings il
possible, pending his arrival.
The question Of insanity is not em-
bodied in the commitment which
brings Thaw before the immigration
authorities. He is held merely as a
fugitive from a .penitentiary at Mat
teawan,' where he was confined on a
criminal charge" for life.
Thaw was quick to see the chances
of fighting deportation on such
grounds, for at Matteawan he is charg-
ed with nothing, being held as luna
tie, acquitted Of the White murder.

Mexico City, Aug. 2O.-The Mexican
government sent all the foreign lega -
tions here note in which they stated
that negotiations between John Lind
the personal representative of Presi-
dent Wilson, and Provisional President
Huerta were continuing in a cordial
manner. The note also denied the re-
port that Urrutia, minister of the in
terror, had made any statement which
might be regarded as an ultimatum to
the United States.
Further negotiations looking to a
peaceful settlement of the Mexican sit
uation, following Provisional President
Huertas rejection of President Will
sons proposal, submitted by John
Lind, appear now to depend upon
Washington. If, the United States Is
willing to reopen the controversy there
is every reason to believe the Mexican
government would be willing.
Mexico's reply to. the United States,
while couched in diplomatic language,
was a definite rejection Of President
Wilson's proposals.. '.-
Unless the Washington government
sees fit to submit new propositions, it
is considered here that the negotia-
tions will be closed. What the Mexi-
can government may do appears large
ly a psychological problem
Lind is awaiting instructions from
Washington. He appears optimistic
and believes the Mexican government
will yet elect to entertain President
Wilson's peace proposals.

.DIGGS MAY
KNOW FATE II. !.
LATE TODAY i.
Depends on His Reason for
Leaving Sacramento
If He Was Frightened Away
He Will GO Free
If His Purpose Was Immoral
He Will Be Convicted

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-Maury L.
Diggs may know tonight whether he
will be held innocent, or guilty Of vio-
lation of the Mann white slave act.
The case will probably go to the jury
late today.
The case hinges on the purpose for
which Diggs went away with Marsha,
Warrington in company with. Drew
Camenitti and Lola Norris from
Sacramento to Reno. 4, If the jury de-
termines Diggs' purpose was immoral,
he doubtless will be convicted If the
jury agrees with the contention Of the
defense that Diggs fed to Reno mere
ly because he was frightened away
from Sacramento, the youthful de-
ffendant may go free.
Theodore Roche, representing the
government closed the appeal to the
jury and Robert Devlin opened his
summary of the case of the defense.
Al reference to the notoriety the
5Diggs- Caminetti cases have won
drew an objection from the defense
and a warning from the Judge to keep
to the evidence.
1.-THE defense didn't deny on the
stand the truth of the essential facts
shown. He had to admit them" said
Roche.
