DEFENSES WHICH NEED DEFEND
ING.

The discovery is now made that our
coost defenses are vulnerable OH the
land side. 1t is said that while they are
adequate for harbOr defenses ana 1ro.h
attacks by sea, the people who CONSTRUCT
ed them appear to have overlooked me
danger of attacks from the land size.
Which suggests some interesting ques-
tiOns.
How does it come that those weakness
es are so APPARENT now, and were not at
all apparent when the works were ron
structed? What part did the trained Of
ficers in the army and navy have In plan
ming of those dcfenses? The works were
costly enough as the people have reason
to know? How does it come that
so much MONEY has been spent to so III
tle We spend millions for bat
tleships. and we pay high prices to the
men who design and construct theM'
but the first coat Of paint on them Is
hardly drv till we are told that they
are obsolete and far behind the ships
of other nations in effectiveness. whence
comes it that our naval and military
critics are so acute after the fact ana
SO obtuse before the fact.
The present secretary of war Is a man
of great ability, and a thoroughly non
est man. He is not to be blamed fof
smoking out and telling the truth as
TO the weakness in our coast defenses-
but who are responsible for the defens
es? II seems to be the conclusion that
we should Immediately set about the
construction of expensive systems OF fol
LITIGATION to protect the coast protectors
Yet who shall defend us from the PEG
ple whose business il is to construct the
defenses? 1t is now said that the man
euvers of 1909 demonstrated the fact
that Boston could be easily taken from
the land side, while the defenses were
we'll able to protect it from the SIC Oh
the sea. Every patriotic American wants
to see the country properly defended
but the average patriotic American Is
not at all conversant with military at
fairs. and is apt to become a bit fret
full and suspicious when Informed that
the men who were devising plans to dc
fend him in time for war, have not been
equal to the job.

room, enter it and awaken the girl,
who was oversleeping.
When the boy opened the door he
found the girl lying across the bed
her mouth covered with white froth.
Or. J. S. Porter was hurriedly sum-
moned. He detected an ordor OF chlo-
roform In the room. He exerteo
everv effort to revive the girl, with
ont success. She died a few nours

REBELLION IN CHINA.
Refugees From Rebellion Seat Tell
Tales Of Terror.

The Pekin correspondent OF The
London Daily Telegraph send the fol-
lowing dispatch:
"The declaration Of martial law
here shows that the northern govern
ment admits it's desperate position.
This synchronizes with the creation
of a complete confederate govern
ment at Nanking. Parliament has
not yet been dissolved, but it is un-
likely that it will survive.
1.-THE war news is battling, but for
eign military experts now believe the
southerners are in far greater
strength than has been supposed.
From refugees who have reach
ed Shanghai stories are obtained OF
the recent uprising against the gov
ernment. Many trains from Kiangsl
province have brought terror strick-
en- families, some mourning the loss
Of members who were slain IN the
fighting. The latest news seems to
indicate cessation OF lne fepeiAAoA'
but no one knows when fighting and
p1llaging more murderous than be-
fore NAV ensue. The manner in which
refugees fee from the district where
the rebellion started Is here illustrat-
ed in a picture taken on similar
hut much less serious occasion.
"Dr. Sun Yat Sen, former proVl-
sional president, issued manifesto

MEETS FIERY DEATH.
Gasoline Tank of Motorcycle Breaks
Sea ttering Flaming Fluid.

Two are dead, six will die, accord
ing to attending physicians, one 9TH
er is probably fatally burned anc
eleven others are seriously injured as
the result of motorcycle accident at
the Lagoon motordrome, across the
river from Cincinnati, Wednesday.
Orin Johnson of Salt Lake City,
captain Of the Cincinnati team,
which was contesting at the motor
drome, for some reason that will
probably remain unknown. drove his
cycle to the extreme top of the cir
cular track, crashed into an electric
light pole, broke it or and the con-
tact of the live wire with his machine
exploded the gasoline tank, throwing
the burning fluid over a score OF
spectators.
Johnson paid the penalty with his
life. while William Davis, aged fVe
wears, is likewise dead, as the result
of the accident.
Two women and four men, so ply
sicians declare, can not live, While
others are at the Kentucky hospital
in a serious condition. That many
more spectators we're burned IS al
most a certainty, as several drug
stores in the vicinity of the place
were kept busy for an hour after the
accident dressing the burns Of per-
sons who escaped without serious In
Jury.
The race was the last one OF the
program for the night and Johnson
who had won both previous contests
was leading. In coming in front Of
the grandstand, he was seen SUDDEN!
to steer his wheel toward the top ano
before he could right it again he hae
struck the pole. A moment later
streak of fame shot out over the
audience. Persons with their cloth
ing in flames ran here and there anc
it was with difficulty that the flame:
were extinguished in time the pre-
vent the grandstand from catching
fire.
Johnson was conscious when pick
ed up, but died on the way TO 'hs
hospital, as did the Davis boy.

GIRL kept PRISONER
GREENVILLE NEGRO ARRESTED ON
A VERY SERIOUS CHARGE
DETAINED Her BY FORCE

| Carrier Her to a Room in His
House for Immoral Purposes-Po-
Iiceman Sees Her and Investigates.
| Charged with criminally assaulting
Sunday night a young white girl,
who, it is claimed, had been kept in
his house for several nights for i'm
moral relations with white men, Lee
Wilson, a negro hackman, was ar
rested by the Greenville police and
turned over to the sheriff for incar-
ceration in the county Jail Tuesday.
On the face of the allegations, the
case is one Of the most deplorable
that has even been brought to light
| by the Greenville authorities and
brings to the front once again a Sc
rious problem which the place have
| had to face for some time.
Monday afternoon Privates Patter-
son and Smith observed a small white
girl enter the rear door Of negro
dive near the Southern Railway pas
senger station. They promptly took
charge of the child and soon learned
from her a few facts that later led to
| the arrest of the negro hackman.
The girl was carried to the police
station and was there confronted by
the chief and the Inspector Of Police,
to whom she told story OF shame.
From the police station the girl
was carried before Magistrate Sam
uel Bradley, where she made an afi-
davit setting forth the charges
against the negro hackman. Upon
this affidavit and one from another
negro hackman which corroborated
in certain details, the story told by
the girl. Magistrate Stradley issued
an arrest warrant for Lee Wilson.
He was placed under arrest and
transferred to the county Jail.
In her affidavit the girl alleges
that she is fifteen years of age and
will be 16 in December; that she was
born in Durham, N. c., and raised
in Columbia, S. c.: for the past four
or five months has been making her
home in Greenville; that on Friday
night she was taken to the home OF
Lee Wilson, where she was kept that
night, Saturday night and Sunday
night; that white men we're brought
to this house by Lee Wilson for the
purpose of having unlawful relations
with her; that Sunday night the ne
gro came into her room and over
powered her; that she was not per-
mitted to leave the house until about
nine O'Clock Tuesday morning.
The child was turned over to the
Salvation Army and will be cared for
by this organization. 1t is stated
that she lived in Greenvillc hereto
fore and that her mother died at the
Salvation Army emergency hospital
about two years ago. The girls faith
er, it is said, lives in Columbia, but
has had nothing to do with his
daughter since the death Of the moth
er. At the time the girl lived in
Greenville with her mother they
worked at one of the cotton mills
and since the child went back to
Greenville, it is said, she has worked
at a mill near the city.

BETRAYED BY SUIT CASE
MAN LEADING DOUBLE LIFE IS
CAUGHT AT LAST.
Known as "Best Citizen" in Alabama
But by Detectives in Chattanooga
as q Safe Robber.
as q Safe Robber.

as Safe Robber.
Until Albert Driscoll Cammayel
was arrested at Chattanooga las
week on charge OF blowing oper
the safe of the Green Cove, Fla, pos
Office, he was leading double life
that of safe blower and religion:
woy yker-according to post Office in
spectors who went to Montgomery to
get information about Cammayer's
career in Alabama.
Cammayer-knowl in Alabama as
Driscoll-had been recognized for
several months as one Of the best cit
liens of Green Cove. He had gone
in the best society. He had formed
the acquaintance Of Green Cove
girl. They became engaged and pre-
parations were made for the we'd
ding.
One night the post Office safe was
broken open, and stamps and some
money stolen. Cammayer-then go
ing under that name-was not sus-
pected. No trace of the safe blower
could be found. Then Caamayer
went to Chattanooga as a representa-
tive Of the Jefferson Powder COM
pany, of Birmingham.
Luck went against him. He lost
his duplicate check and the railroad
refused to give him his suit case.
Cammayer declared that he could
identify articles in the case and he
mentioned a suit Of clothes, comb
and brush and other articles. But he
said nothing about $500 worth OF
stamps which we're hidden in the bot
tom Of the suit case.
Then Cammayer decided he ought
to make a more thorough search for
the check. He went to this hotel and
found the lost slip. But. in the mean
time, railroad officials had found the
stamps. Cammayer produced the
check and demanded the suit case.
Detectives were called and Cammay-
er was arrested.
Post Office inspectors could not find
a post Office in Chattanooga district
that had been robbed recently and
other divisions were notified. Green
CoTe's Office had been robbed few
weeks before and investigations
showed that the numbers of the
Stamps in Cammayer's possession
corresponded with those stolen from
the Florida post office. Cammayer
denied that he had robbed the post
office.
News Of Cammayer's arrest went
to Green Cove. where he was regard
ed as an upright citizen. People
there refused to believe he was inter-
ested in the robbery. and his fancee
is a daughter of Superintendent OF
large plant in Florida. but post Of
fee inspectors have refused to make
public her name.
Cammayer was convicte:: of rob-
bing the safe of Hirscher Brothers.
in Montgomery, in 1904. He was
sentenced to twenty years in the penl-
tentiary, but was paroled by Govern
or O'Neal in 1911, when wardens re-
ported that Cammayer had been con-
verted and had become a minister
and religious worker. Soon after be-
ing released Cammayer was employ
"a hr +ha ToForcon Powder company,
of Birmingham as travelling repre-
sentative and it is alleged that he
used his position to get explosives to
use in his criminal operations.
