DETECTIVE BURNS
UP AGAINST bLEASE

SAVANNAH, GA. Feb. 15-The old
feud between William J. Burns. the de-
tective, and Governor Biease, of South
Carolina, has caused an interesting
complication in connection with the
coming South of the celebrated detec-
tive on a lecture tour.
Burns has written to President Rus
sci Bridges, of the Lyceum tour sys-
tenn declaring that his Columbia, S.
C., date must be cancelled unless the
Lyceum people will agree to protect
him from all financial loss and pay
all attorneys fees and travelling ex-
penses should the South Carolina gov
ernor carry out his threat to have
Burns arrested.
The trouble dates back to the time
about year ago when Burns and his
agents secured dictagraph evidence in
South Carolina, which was used by
the opponents of Biease in an effort to
prove that BIease was amenable to
bribery. and that the pardoning power
was for sale in the Palmetto State.
Burns is scheduled To lecture in
Georgia and South Carolina this week.
