"VESUVIUS" HIT BY TORPEDO.
Boat Punctured Below Water Line by
Her Own Shot.

The torpedo boat "Vesuvius" was
struck by one of its own torpedoes
late Monday and was beached on
Hope island, Narragansett Bay, when
the lives of those on board seemed
imperilled by the waters which rush
ed in through a hole astern. Late
Monday night the Vesuvius worked
herself off the beach and proceeded
to the torpedo station under her own
steam.
The "Vesuvius'', which is dyna-
mite cruiser, famous as one Of the
first vessels Of the new navy, was
being used for torpedo instruction in
Narragansett Bay. AS a practice
whitehead torpedo left her side the
mechanism went awry in some man
ner not yet determined. The torpedo
turned like boomerang and crash
ed into the "Vesuvius" astern below
the water line, gashing a two-inch
hole.
Chief Gunner Thomas Smith order
ed full speed towards Hope Island,
two miles away. All pumps were
kept working until the "Vesuvius"
ran her nose on the beach of Hope
Island. The crew massed in the boat
out of reach of the water while the
wireless operator notified the torpedo
station. Soon the fleet from the tor
pedo station ranged along side the
"Vesuvius". The Vesuvius became
noted for it's work during the war
with Spain.

CONCERNS THE WORLD.
London Times Thinks japanese Prob
lem Far-reaching.

The London Times prints a three
column article by Sir Valentine Chi
rol, former editor of The Times, deal
ing with the dispute between the
United States and Japan. The writer
analyzes the grounds on which Japan
claims equality of treatment with
Western nations and expresses the
belief that the situation created
thereby is more critical than it was
on any previous occasion.
The Times, commenting editorially,
says: "The ultimate point is the dis
pute does not affect America alone,
but is essentially a world question.
Whatever may be the issue Of the
present dispute, it is question Of
magnitude for the white races in the
future. Until the situation becomes
more strained we prefer to believe
that some middle course of settle
ment will be found.
"While Japan is fully warranted in
standing on her treaty rights, she
will do we'll to remember that a
claim to enter neighbor's garden is
not the kind Of claim that can be
pressed with unrestricted indigna-
ton, however strong its documen-
tary support may be-"

fore the crime was discovered.
Stephen Durza, who was the jewell
er's Office boy. said the woman called

him. An hour later he was found
murdered. Durza was positive in
identifying the Kennedy woman.

During the debate Tuesday in the

relative to the alleged threats of man.

counter intention of, the Administra-
ton through the bureau Of corpora
tions to investigate concerns which
might reduce wages following tariff
reductions.
els the Senator aware" asked Sen
ator Townsend, "of any conditions
existing which will make possible
this proposed coercion on the part of
the Government, as indicated by the
Secretary Of Commerce.
Remarks of the Secretary relat-
ing to investigations of manufactur-
ers," replied Senator Simmons, "have
grown out of threats constantly made
by the protected interests that they
would reduce wages unless they are
permitted to retain the excessive tar
if rates."
"Can the Senator give any specific
cases where such threats have been
made?" Senator Townsend continued.
'tI can refer the Senator to the
hearings before the ways and means
committee, where statements repeat
edly made by manufacturers that if
duties were reduced, they would be
forced to and would cut wages. I
would also refer him to the briefs
filed with the finance committee,
which are full of such statements.
"Does the Senator construe as a
threat the statement Of manufac-
turer that certain changes would
force him to cut expenses?" asked the
Michigan Senator.
"The Senator may construe as he
sees ft," Senator Simmons conclud-
ed, "call it a threat or statement,
but the Secretary of Commerce had
reference to these constant warnings
by representatives of the protected
industries, that they would not suffer
in their own pockets from tariff re-
ductions, but would shoulder the loss
upon their employees"

MINISTER HITS STUDENT
UNFORTy'E,rE DIFFICULTY AT
Sr.,RTANBURG.
Rev. S. A. Nettles Has Dispute With
Young Preacher About Paint and
Strikes Him a Blow.

Young Preacher About Paint and
Strikes Him a Blow.
The Spartanburg Journal says Rev.
S. A. Nettles, member of the South
Carolina Methodist conference and
publisher of the Southern Christian
Advocate, in Greenville, was the prin-
cipal part of near-scrap in the rear
of Wofford college Monday morning
when he exchanged blows with Rev.
]. B. Chick, an ordained preacher of
the Methodist church and senior
classman at the Wofford Fitting
school.
It was at $3.50 o'clock, and, so far
as can be learned, there were only
two witnesses to the affair. A. o.
Darby and John Dean, college boys.
These, it is said, will be used by Mr..
Chick, who is by trade painter, of
blame of the transaction should the
district conference, which convenes
this week at Woodruff, probe the
matters.
Mr.. Chick is pursuing his studies
at the Fitting school in an effort to
fit himself for the pulpit, an appli-
cant Of which he became when he
successfully passed the examination.
As, a sideline he is steward at the
white house, which is situated on
Cleveland street and in the rear of
the college. The building is the
property of Mr.. Nettles and it is Said
that Mr.. Nettles came over to Spar
tanburg to check over the rent ac-
count and to make further contracts.
There was a misunderstanding
known only to the participants W en-
it is said Mr.. Nettles accused Mr..
Chick, who is by tade a painter, of
having giving his brother an under
hand deal in reference to some paints.
Mr.. Chick is said to have denied the
charge, when Mr.. Nettles said, "Well,
when you insult my brother you in
suit me-" and Mr.. Chick, turning his
head, was slapped on the side of his
face, leaving, it is said, an ugly mark
made from the contact sustained
with the spectacle frames worn by
him.
After the disillusionment was pass
ed it is said that Mr.. Chick gave Mr..
Nettles a short talk in real earnest
as to the ethics Of their high calling.
1t is said Mr.. Nettles refused to make
any apologies and Mr.. Chick asserts
that his friendship with the offending
| divine will cease and that he will not
renew his contract for the next ses-
sion. After the affair MT. Nettles
left the city for Greenville.
Warrant for Mr.. Nettles.
The Spartanburg Journal says a
warrant for the arrest of Rev. S. A.
Nettles, publisher Of the official
church organ Of South Carolina Meth
odism, has been placed in the hands
Of a constable for service When the
| prosecutor in the action, Rev. J. 3.
Chick, made application for the war
rant, he stated that he was not so do
ing in an effort to get revenge for
the humiliation he suffered in the as
sault made on him by Mr.. Nettles,
but that he demanded an investiga-
ton Of the occurrence in order to
get the matter in proper shape for
future reference. The date for the
hearing has not been set.

RICHARDSON EXONERATED.
Seems to be Nothing in Charge of
Arson Against Him.

A special. dispatch from Aiken to
The News and Courier says at a pre-
liminary hearing before Magistrate
Smoak, Capt. ]. Maxwell Richardson,
a well known citizen of this place,
who was arrested last Friday on a
charge Of arson and lodged behind
the bars Of the county jail, was dis
charged and the charges against him
dismissed, bearing out his statement
Friday, to The News and Courier's
correspondent, that it would only be
matter of a few days before he
would be absolutely vindicated Of
the charge, which he characterized
as a "frame-up" and political per-
secution.
Capt. Richardson was charged lit
orally with destroying his own prop
erty in order that he might collect
the small sum of $500 for which it
was insured. The warrant had been
issued at the instigation of Insurance
Commissioner McMaster's deputy, B.
A. Wharton.
Solicitor Robert L. Gunter was
present in behalf Of the State during
the preliminary, while the defendant
had as his counsel Col. Claude E.
Sawyer and Messrs. Croft & Croft.
The hearing was tedious one. Af-
ter all Of the testimony was in it be-
came quite clear that there was moth
ing whatsoever to substantiate the
rather serious charges preferred
against a man of Capt. Richardson's
prominence. AS a matter of fact, no
part Of the entire testimony tended
in the slightest degree to connect in
anywise Capt. Richardson with the
alleged incendiarism.

MRS. APPLET ASKED TO RESIGN.
Not Giving Post Office Work Personal
Attention.

A Washington dispatch says the
first assistant Postmaster General has
called for the resignation of Mrs. Ap-
pelt as postmistress at Manning, be-
cause the inspectors report shows
that she is not attending to the Office
personally. This is carrying out the
policy recently announced by the
Postmaster General, that postmasters
must give their personal attention to
the business Of their Offices. 1t is
stated that the resignation Of Mrs.
Appelt will be accepted, if rendered
Immediately. For some little time
the post Office department has been
conducting quiet investigations all
over the country to see if postmasters
are paying the proper personal atten-
tion to their work, and it is likely
that there will be a good many other
cases similar to that at Manning.

professional plan in football, and
there was no lack of patronage
whenever they played. The trouble
was that they could not keep in
physical shape to play often enough
to make it worth While-and that's
the whole trouble in a nutshell, SO
the professional player, the ma
tured man, is practically debarred
from the game. And this is why
the college team can beat any other
band of men in the world on the
gridiron, and it is one large reason
why the college man esteems the
game so highly.
Perhaps, too. the very fact that it
does come only once a week, and
then for a short season only, is an
added reason for the prestige of the
game-what we see often loses
value, and familiarity may breed
contempt here as well as elsewhere.
TRACK sports, tennis, lacrosse,
soccer, basket ball, swimming
and even baseball are not in it
when it comes to a comparison with
football as contests of physical
strength or even Of pure science.
Your collegian regards football as
a struggle between giants (and isn't
ito, while the others are contests
between comparative Lilliputians.
The minor games demand skill, to
be sure, stiffness and quick think
ing-footbaIl requires these, even in
greater quantity, and with much
sheer physical strength added. Why
is it that exhibitions and even
tales of the exhibition of mere
brute strength have always inter-
ested man so?
Richard the Lion Hearted could
Whack a thick bar of steel in two
pieces by one stroke Of his heavy
battle sword. while Haroun AL
Raschid could sever with one stroke
a piece of gossamer so light that
it tloated on the air, so keen was
his blade and so deXterous his
stroke. Here we are in doubt
which achievement to admire most,
but there would be no doubt if
along came one who could achieve
both these exploits.
