JOINS COMMISSION BAND.
Rock Hill Adopts Modification OF the
Sumter Plan-Will Have
Manager.

The State
Rock Hill, May 12-Wi:h 220 out
of about 425 registered vo.e voting,
Rock Hill today adopted the commits
sion-manager plan of municipal gov
ernment
The vote was as follows: For COM
mission government, 163. Against
commission government, SO. For the
commission with manager, 153.
Against commission with manager, SO.
The commission-manager plan of
municipal government: adopted mere
is practically the Sumter Dlan under
which plan the city Of Sumter is now
being governed The plan as adopt
ed here provides for the election at
the time of the next regular city elec-
ton in January, 1915, of three COM
missioners. The commissioners shall
select by lot one of their number who
will be officially known as mayor CT
the city. The mayor will serve three
years The remaining commissioners
will draw lots for the one and Two
year terms; and thereafter one COM
missioner will be elected every year.
The commissioners will exercise the
powers of a council, but will employ
a manager, at such salary as they
may deem proper, to give all his time
to the management of the city's busi-
ness.
The mayor will be paid $500 per
year, and the commissioners 5000
each. They will not be required to
give all their time to the city's serv-
ice, but the manager will be employed
for his entire time.
Ii is believed here that the adop-
ton of the commission-manager plan
marks a long step forward for pro-
gressiye Rock Hill. While the city
has certainly been as well governed as
the average municipality under the
old plan, it is believed the adoption
of a thoroughly business-like system
will secure far better results than
have been obtained under the plan
now in force.

studied by Kern's Committee.

As Senator Kern, chairman OF the
Senate Committee on Privileges ana
Elections. did not reach Washington
until yesterday morning. there was no
meeting Of his committee to CONSIDER
the seating of Blair Lee as Senator
from Maryland.
The Senator. however. has called

o'clock this morning. Senator Kern
said yesterday that the meeting would
be merely a preliminary one, as the
committee has never considered the case
and would have to arrange for future
meetings to consider the credentials.
some question having arisen as to their
form, it being claimed that the GER
tificate is not in accordance with those
accepted by the Senate.
The certificate from Gov. Goldsbor-
ough merely includes the certificate OF
election from the Maryland supervisors
Of election and does not state that
Blair Lee was elected at an election
provided by any law authorizing such
passed by the Legislature. This action
is questioned by the committee. and
will be discussed and decided tomor-
row.
Senator Kern said that he expected
both Senator jackson and Blair Lee TO
appear before the committee. Sena-
tor Jackson has asked the committee
for the privilege of appearing before
IL, and Senator Kern readily granted
his request.

Before the lecture began. Miss Jean

grams received by Mrs Pankhurst while
she was detained at Ellis Island Miss
Wickham read several, and one, which
she said was from Rev. Anna shaw, read:
FILLED with unspeakable indignation al
your detention by our government and
hope for your speedy release"
/ understand the Rev. Anna Shaw is
an English woman by birth. Would her
telegram not indicate that she stands
with the lawiess element of her native
land and that she denounces the govern
ment of the gloriuos country of her
adoption? Remember. the Rev. Anna
Shaw is president of the National wom-
ans Suffrage Association and what she
says and does is supposed to be indorsed
by those in the suffrage ranks.

reported that cablegram had been sent
to Mrs. Emmeiine Pankhurst at Hollo-
way prison by the suffrasists Of San
Francisco, which read: Women every

for?
Elizabeth Freeman in a talk at the
Metropolitan Temple. New York, on
March II. 1912, said: Certainly We suf-
fragists must admit that the militancy
of the English women has given enor.

A member Of my family was present

time OF their convention here and heard
Mrs. Carrie Gait say that IL the Con-
stitution did not permit of woman suf-
frage. they (the suffragists) would tear
it asunder and make a new one.
Would these things not indicate that
the germs of militancy are working in
the suffrage ranks of America?
