AGAINST TRUCKERS TRANSFER.
COMPLAINT of South Carolina Carrier
is Dismissed.

Washington. June 21.-DecisiOn is
announced by the interstate CONNER
ce commission against the Truckers
Transfer Company, a boat line, which
asked for through routes and joint
rates from river landings near Port
Royal S. c., on an equal basis as a
connection carrier, with its competit-
or, the Beaufort Transportation Com
pany. The commission notes in its
decision that under it's charter OBJ
tanned from the State of South Caro-
lima, the Truckers Transfer Company
is prohibited from doing any bus
mess as a common carrier, but it is
admitted by the commission that in
terstate commerce, not being subject
to State law, would not fall within
this prohibition. Decision against the
Truckers Company is based On the
conclusion by the commission that
the complainant is not capable imam
cially, or physically, to assume the
obligations which through routes and
Joint rates would impose if it were
so capable, and were able to demon
strate the fact by putting up financial
security. The complaint in this in
stance is dismissed.

District Attorney Resigns.

San Francisco, June 21.-United
States District Attorney John L. Nc
Nab announced today that he has re-
signed. In long telegram to Presi-
dent Wilson, McNab said that he feels
forced to resign because of orders
from the attorney general tying his
hands in the prosecution of the
Diggs-Caminetti white slave cases
and the indictments against officials
of the Western Fuel company.
He says he had orders to postpone
action in the case, received by tele-
graph yesterday, in spite of his pro-
test and statement to the attorney
general that efforts to tamper with
government witnesses in the cases
had been made.
Maury Diggs, former State archi-
tect, and Drew Caminetti, a son OF
former State Senator A. Caminettl,
who recently was appointed commls-
sioner of migration, it is alleged,
eloped to Reno, New, last winter with
two high school girls of Sacramento,
leaving their wives and babies behind
them. They were brought back to
California and indicted under the
Mann white slave act.

White Women Work in Fields

Atlanta, June 19.-White women
of Georgia are working in the fields
this summer who never worked there
before, according to the observation
of people who have travelled through
the farming sections within the past
two or three weeks.
Sturdy wives and daughters have
bravely set to, with hoe and harrow,
to help out the men folks at time
when money is hard to borrow and
it is difficult to raise the necessary
cash to employ enough labor to work
the crops.
Girls home from boarding school
for the summer have willingly put
aside their silk stockings and en-
broidery to lend helping hand to
mother and father at time when
help is badly needed.
There is no serious pessimism
about agricultural prospects, but the
fact is admitted that in many sections
the farmers of average means have
borrowed practically all they can to
pay for foodstuffs and imported grain
pending the harvesting of the cotton
crop, and that they are temporarily
up against it for money.

The Proper Age for Marriage.

What is the proper age at which
to marry?i
This question has become so chron-
ic in the women's departments of the
yellow" newspapers that statistic
ian has gone to considerable trouble
to collect data that will enable the
questioners to settle the subject for
themselves. These precedents con-
stitute the result of the labors:
Adam and Eve, 0; Shakespeare,
IS; Ben Jonson, 21; Franklin, "a;
Mozart, 25; Dante, Kepler, Fuller,
Johnson, Burke, Scott, 26; Tycho Bra
he, Byron, Washington, Bonaparte,
27; Penn and Sterne, 2S; Linnaeus
and Nelson, 20; Burns, 80; Chaucer,

liam Jones and Wellington, 81; Will

If Adam and Eve married before
they were a year old, and the veter-
an Parr buckled with a widow at 120,
bachelors and spinsters may wed at
any age they like, and find shelter
under great names for either early or
late marriages.

CHARGES AGAINST MILL MEN.
Warrants are Issued Alleging Viola
ton of Law as to Hours of Work.

Spartanburg, June 20.-Warrants
for the arrest of Mac Smith, super
intendent, and w. L. Hames, weave
room boss of the D. E. Converse
company of Glendale, were sworn
out before Magistrate CAN'T this
morning charging a violation of the
criminal statute in reference to the
schedule of working hours of employ
es in cotton mills. 1t is alleged that
operatives in the weave shop are
working a half hour overtime every
day and on complaint made to the
labor commissioners Office, a factory
inspector, w. S. Bonner, came to
Spartanburg yesterday and investi-
gated the case. The date for the
hearing has not been set.
The first report of this alleged
violation of the law, it is said, was
made by woman who was dischard-
ed from the mill because she refused
to work overtime. Several witness
es have been summoned, who, it is
claimed, will testify in corroboration
of her charges. The defense is ex-
pected to plead that this overtime
work was in an effort to make up suf-
fcient time so that the operatives
might have a full holiday on Satur-
day. July 5.

WEBB LIQUOR LAW CONSTRUED
Attorney General Says it is Not a
Criminal Statute.


Washington, June 19.-The Webb
law forbidding interstate shipments
of liquor into dry" States, is not a
criminal statute and violations of it
cannot be prosecuted in the United
States Court.
Attorney General McReynolds so
declared in instructions sent to-day to
every United State attorney in the
country. The law merely prohibits
such interstate traffic and contains no
penalty for infractions.
Its purpose said the Attorney
General, ''is to permit State laws to
operate in respect of intoxicating IL
auors moving in interstate COM
merce.'
The law simply deprives shippers
of any privileges they might claim on
the ground of interstate commerce
and permits the application of State
prohibition laws to interstate COM
merce in liquors.
This is the first time the depart
ment of justice has construed the
Webb law, which was declared un-
constitutional by former President
Taft and former Attorney General
Wickersham. President Taft vetoed
the bill on the ground that it violated
the interstate commerce clause of the
Constitution by delegating the regu-
Iation of interstate commerce to the
States. The bill was passed over his
Veto
Attorney General McReynolds's in
terpretation is said to mean that the
Federal Government is not called up
on to enforce law for the violation
of which no penalty is'imposed and
that the interstate commerce forbid
den by the law is OUTLAW" commerce
in regard to which the States are free
to apply their statutes. The Attorn-
ey General did not attempt to pass
upon the constitutionality of the Act
and it is believed that this question
ultimately may reach the United
States Supreme Court.

THE WORK OF THE WIFE.
Why Farm Women Die Earlier Than
Farm Men.

Farm and Fireside, an agricultural
paper published at Springfield, Ohio.
contains in it's current number an in
teresting account of farm life as view
ed from the standpoint of women.
The author of the article "a woman)
says that as the farm becomes more
prosperous, the farmer has more help
both men and machinery-while
the work of the wife is increased
more people to cook and wash dishes
for, more fruit, more chickens and
milk to attend to. In the majority
of cases, the farmers wife does not
have help as her work becomes
heavier. The author goes on to say:
1T is a statistical fact that farm
women die earlier than do farm men,
and that those who survive the years
of drudgery break in health sooner
than do the men. The opposite is
true in town. There is no doubt in
my mind that the biggest factor in
the development of this state of af-
fairs is the woeful lack of labor-sav-
ing contrivances in the farm woman S
home. Many houses in the country
are still without that greatest of Ia
bor-savers-a kitchen sink, a sink
with pump or faucet and with a
drain leading out from it. The car
rying in and out of water is the most
laborious and back-breaking task of
all the hard tasks belonging to the
housekeeper. There is no substitute
for a kitchen sink. If you can add
but one thing to your home this year
and if you have no kitchen sink, let
that be the addition

KNIFE TO STOP GROWTH.

Surgeons Will Operate on 15-Year-
Old Giant, 6 Feet Inches Tall.
Surgeons at the Medico-Chirurgical
Hospital are anticipating the success
full outcome of an operation on a
15-year-old boy named John Michael,
who is six feet seven inches tall, for
physical overgrowth, by removing a
portion of the pituitary gland from
the base of his brain.
This operation has never been per-
formed before for such reason. The
pituitary gland or pineal body is be-
lieved to control human growth, and
to stop the boy from outgrow1ng his
constitutional strength they have de-
cided to perform an experiment
shown to be successful on the dog.
Michael outgrew all his comrades
and would not go to school because
his fellow pupils joked him about his
size. and the smaller children feared
him. When he got On the trolley
cars everybody Uttered, and he had
to stoop when he entered a door.
At home his father had to have an
extra bed made for him, and at the
hospital where he was undergoing
the rest treatment new cot was
necessary to accommodate him.
Mentally and in other respects the
body is normal He is simply grow
ing beyond his strength and years,
and the surgeons say that if the
operation is not performed he will be-
come afflicted with a mental dis
ease, for the overgrowth of the body
will affect his mind.

BOYS LOST IN NIAGARA RAPIDS.
Two Lads Dashed to Death in Pres
ence of Hundreds of People.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, June 22.-
Donald Roscoe, ten years old, and
Hubert Moore, 9 years old, both of
Buffalo, went to their death in a
small boat this afternoon in the
whirlpool rapids, while hundreds of
men watched helpless from the shore.
The boys were playing in a fiat
bottom scow half mile above the
rapids when the rope holding the
boat broke and they were carried out
into the stream and down the river.
Until the boat reached mid-stream
it made little progress. After it
passed the bridges the current car
ried it swiftly towards the rapids.
The bridge men did not see the boat
until it was close at hand. Then they
called fire headquarters and two COM
panies of firemen were sent to save
the lads if possible.
Hundreds swarmed to the river
banks in a vain effort to rescue. The
boys, realizing their fate, stood up
as the boat neared the edge of the
roaring whirlpool and shook hands in
farewell. A second later they were
engulfed by a great wave in the rap
ids. The boat shot out of sight. One
boy was seen for a moment strug-
Cling in the rushing waters. Neither
body has been recovered.
Never at any time was there a
chance to save the boys. Scores of
passengers in the cars along the
Gorge route watched the hopeless
struggle of the boys, as did hundreds
who had gathered at the waters
edge. Men became hysterical and
women passengers on the cars wept
and prayed in distress at the plight
of the lads, who were standing in the
boat calling for help.
AS the boat neared Swift Drift, the
first breaking of the water from the
calm upper reaches to the rapids, it
began to rock. The boys sat down to
keep from tumbling into the stream.
Then, caught in the swift drift, the
boat went racing under the cantilever
bridge. Whatever hope the boys had
of rescue was lost They ceased their
cries for help, turned towards each
other and calmly shook hands, then
with the boat in the tumbling waters,
threw themselves on the seats of the
scow and clung with all their
strength.
The craft held to it's course until it
encountered huge wave, which
crested at a height of forty feet 1t
seemed to dive into the very middle
to view it was bottom up. A second
or two later a little head appeared
bobbing on a wave below for a mo-
ment and then was seen no more.
The bodies of the boys are in the
whirlpool, and may never be recov-
cred. There was quantity of drift
wood whirling there this afternoon
aud the bodies may be beaten to piec-
es, as were those of Mr.. and Mrs. Ell
bridge Stanton, of Toronto, and
Buell. Peacock, of Cleveland, the VIC
tins of the ice bridge tragedy of Feb
ruary 4, 1912. They were battered
by cakes of ice.
The point where the boat broke
loose is about a half-mile from the
beginning of the rapids. 1t drifted
down in about twelve minutes.
The Roscoe boys mother is very
i'll and was not told of the tragedy.
The boys are members of well known
families of Niagara Falls. They were
