case pending in the criminal courts
here under the same charges as are
in the federal indictment.
The Spartanburg correspondent of
the State, in writing to that paper,
gives the following statement of the
case:
Spartanburg, March 25.-L. M.
Charles of Union was arrested today
on complaint of H G. Horganroth,
postoffice Inspector, who accuses
Charles of using the mails to defraud
whiskey dealers in five cities and also
of defrauding railroads in violation
of the interstate commerce law. By
means of his alleged schemes Charles
is said to have received hundreds of
gallons of liquor. He was committed
to the Spartanburg county Jail to-
night in default of $4,000 bail. In or
dering whiskey Charles is alleged to
have inclosed worthless checks. The
charge of defrauding the railroads is
based on his alleged forging bills of
lading calling for only one drum.
Charles has been granted bail in
the sum of $4,000 through his attor-
ney, J. Frost Walker, and an investi-
cation will be conducted by United
States Commissioner Atkinson, at
Union on April 18th.

FACTION FUSION NOT POSSIBLE

A dispatch to the Aberdeen News
from Ipswich says: Many inquiries
have been coming to the chairman Of
the republican state central commit
tee, ]. w. Parmley, in regard to the
workings Of the primary law and in
order to answer some OF these ques-
lions and to perhaps simplify the pro-
cedure, he today issued the following
statement:
my attention has been called to
two instances where electors have
issued a joint call for the December
mass meeting OF the majority and
minority afiliants; and the question
is asked as to the legal status Of such
call and such meeting. An assembly
so-called n held has no legal stand
ing under the primary law. The law
contemplates separate calls and sep
arate meetings. Committeeman select
ed by such combined afiillants have no
more standing in proposal committee
meetings than the independent or
progressive or no party elector will
have in the primary.
"One county writes that 1t Is pro-
posed to dispense with the December
mass meeting. This would be fatal
to open organization so far as giving
the party members representation, in
the initiatory steps, in makeup of
the factional ticket. If once passed
and no action taken, there is no way
to obtain representation to promul-
gate a party platform. 1t would also
throw the primary election back again
into a mere personal scramble for the
Offices In the Independent column.
I'm brief the steps are as follows:
Prior to December 2, 1913, publish
twice in a weekly county seat news.

OUR TRIP SOUTH

Editor Register:
Perhaps a short description of our
recent trip south will be of interest
We left Brookings September 10Th,
reached Goldfish, Iowa, that evening.
We were met at the train by our
friends with an automobile. We spent
the next forenoon visiting the beauti-
full Chautauqua Park and drank from
the sparkling fountain. This country
Is noted for its hundreds OF artesian or
flowing wells. On Tuesday we reached
western Iowa Conference. This is a
beautiful city with its brick paved
streets, many forest trees and its
hospitable homes. The conference
was presided over by Bishop Sheppard.
whose sermon on the Sabbath was one
OF the ablest, so pronounced by many.
We were favored each afternoon with
a lecture by DR.. Harmon of McKendree
College, Ill. On Monday we were de-
lightfully entertained at the home of a
Mr.. Foster, whose brother, DR.. Foster,
resides in our city. On leaving Web
ster City, we reached Ames, Iowa, and
found we had a few hours to wait for
a train. We spent the time at the
college. Visited a number of the build
ings, stood under the great dome in
the chapel, heard the famous chimes,
gathered nuts from the imported oak
trees, and learned that they have over
twenty-five hundred students in attend
ance. Our next stop was at Dixon,
Ill. While waiting for our train we
visited the Rock River, with it's great
dam. We ~enquired how the boats
passed over the dam and were told
that a small motor car glided down
under the water and the boat and
transferred 1t over the falls and re-
turns in the same way. Thursday we
reached Greenville, Ill. Visited with a
brother who had served in the civil
war, whom We had not met for fifteen
years, We passed through the old
town Of Vandalia, where the state CAPT
tai was first located. 1t has a very
ancient appearance. We spent a few
days In Ramsey, ILL.,, where our rela-
tives held a family reunion. Among
those who attended was the Hon.
Frank Dickson of Springfield, Ill, who
is the adjutant general of Illinois and
is a nephew OF Mr.. Gardner. From
Ramsey by the way of st. Louis and
Kansas City we reached Lawrence,
Kans., the home of DIR. II. s. Gardner.
Here Is located the Kansas University,
where our daughter. Mrs. B. T. Green,
spent a part Of her college days max
ing art and music a speciality. We
were especially interested in Prof.
bikes collection Of animals in the
great museum. Also visited the rooms
Of fine arts. Here is located the fam
GUS Haskell institute for the Indians.
We spent about three weeks in this
beautiful city Of fine schools. 1t has
more than 40 miles Of brick paved
streets and magnificent homes. The
evening before leaving for home Mr..
Gardner performed the rite Of nuptials
for his brother to H. 8. Gardner and
Miss Wilhelmina SchlegeL a lady of
rare qualities, 1t was a very happy
event. The next day we started home
ward. We Hike Bookings and our
home. Nowhere In u travels did we
find such crops as the farmers are
favored with here In South Dakota.

MoGraW Attacked BY Brennan
PhiIIy Defense Cracks.

lilNl ~ @EAsS ~ A~'NNa
The Phillies are apparently in for
atemporary crack over the strain for
keeping up in the National League
pennant race. Making the pace,
closely pursued by the Giants, was
too much for DOOin's men. They
dropped a weird game to New York
yesterday, and the Gothamites
slipped into first place. Several in
cidents showed the strain under
which the Phils have been travelling.
Point one was an attack made on
Manager McGraw of the Giants by
Pitcher Ad Brennan Of the Phils after
the game. Brennan claims McGraw
tainted him during the battle, and
when the teams were going to the
dressing rooms threatened to get
him" Believing he was to be at
tackled, Brennan delivered healthy
clOut of McGraw's jaw and the little
leader went down. In the melee he
was either struck in the ear by Bren-
nan or was kicked by a PhiIly player
while on the ground. Accounts of
the fight differ here. Giant players
say a Phil kicked their boss. Bren-
nan says he slit McGraw's hearing
apparatus with a left hook.
President Lynch of the National
will make an investigation, and stiff
fine and suspension for some one is a
certainty.
The Phillies fielding was ragged.
They seemed to be scared to death.
Doolan made four errors, Magee
muffed fly and Paskert fumbled
single These things were disastrous.
At the bat the Pills showed their
mechanical ability to whale the pill.
It may be that Dooin's men will
play better ball when they have the
Giants to set the pace. There is
great strength in the Quaker lineup.

President Tebeau of the Louisville

with President Murphy of the Cubs
today in an effort to secure one or
more players to be released by the

Late this afternoon it was reported
that TebeaU had completed a deal for
a left-handed pitcher now with the

Otis Clymer is released he will be sent

was taken by the Cubs.

declaring that President Murphy Of
the Cubs is going to let a player or
two go immediately" Notwith-

the West Side magnate has not pull
ed off any deals. But the time has
come when he can hesitate no long

WILSON WILL ASK FOR
REPEAL OF THE TOLL LAW

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 2S.--
Repeal of that part of the Panama
canal act granting free tolls to coast
wise vessels will be one of the first
requests of President Wilson to con
gress, according to prediction made to-
day in formal statement by Chair
man Adamson of the house inter-
state commerce committee which
framed the Panama law.
Secretary Knox not only declares
outright that the exemption of coast
wise ships from tolls is n subsidy, "
Adamson asserted, but he proves il
by mathematical demonstration. am
afraid that Earl Grey will reply that
Mr. Knox makes manifest a discrimi-
nation against the shipping of other
nations"
Chairman Adamson declared that
the coastwise trade exemption is COM
plete subsidy.
Therefore, England may justly
complain that subsidies must be equal
to all nations or else there is dis
crimination," he said.
But | am not half as much con-
cerned about England's complaint as
l am about the robbery of our cwn
people. The subsidy is unfair, i'm
moral and discrimination in favor of
an opulent special interest.
"The jingoes have tried to blind
the people to the real issue. The
true issue for us to determine is
shall we rob our own people by an un-
just discrimination to enrich this
coastwise ship trust?
at looks very foolish and unproft
able to maintain any row with Eng
land to defend the immoral and unjust
robbery of our treasury and the mass
es of our people to confer benefits
upon special interest"
The direct assertion by Secretary
Knox in his Panama canal note thar
the free tolls provision was "mere
ship subsidy plan put Democratic
members in an anomalous position.
The party has always vigorously op-
posed any sort of subsidy, but the
Baltimore platform contains a plank
favoring the exemption Of American
ships from tolls. To have this plan
dubbed plain subsidy" forces the
Democrats into a peculiar position.
Adamson has always opposed the
free ship idea.

SEEKS DIVORCE FROM
PLAYWRIGHT ARMSTRONG

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.--Considera-
Bile interest is manifested in literary
and theatrical circles in the suit for
divorce brought by Mrs. Realla Abel
Armstrong against her husband, Paul
Armstrong, the well known play
wright, which came up in court to-
day for hearing. The present action
is the second of its kind brought by
Mrs. Armstrong, the first having been
filed in 1910 in Annapolis, her home
city. The first suit was withdrawn
few months later and it was ru-
mored that the Armstrong; had be-
come reconciled. When the present
suit was entered here last fall the pa
pers were filed secretly, access to them
refused and all parties declined to
make any statement.
The Armstrong; were married 1f-
teen years ago in London. They lived
in Annapolis for time, where Mrs.
Armstrong, as talented artist and
a member of the fashionable Anne
Arundel Hunt club, held desirable
position in society. After her / st
divorce action she moved to New
York. The couple have three chill
dI en-, who live with their mother.
