YOUNG MAN SHOT TO DEATH.
Emmett Walker Called From Office
and Killed by Geo. w. Tidweu.

Greenville, March 12.-Calling
Emmett Walker from his office at
the Carolina Mills this morning
about 10 o'clock, George w. Tidwell,
representing an advertising agency
at Clinton, shook hands with the
young man, pulled a pistol from his
pocket with his left hand and fired
five shots into Walkers body. Their
right hands were clasped as Tidwell
fired, and Walker had his left arm
about Tidwell's neck, as if to protect
himself.
Tidwell is So years old, while Wal
ker was but 20. The latter had
prominent family connections here.
Little is known of Tidwell. Tidwell
gave out a statement this afternoon,
in which he stated that he killed
Walker because he and another young
man had ruined his home. He said
both his wife and daughter were in
volved.
Mrs. Tidwell and the girl were ar
rested here last week in a question
able house, it is said, and Tidwell
hearing of the affair, it seems, came
here to look for the men he claimed
were responsible for theiE going
wrong. Tidwell drove from the mill
to the sheriff's Office and gave him
self up.

Junk" CALDWELL CONVICTED.
Laurens Jury Recommends Mercy in
Murder Case.

Laurens, March 11.-"Guilty with
recommendation to mercy was the
verdict returned this evening in the
case of the State against Junk"
Caldwell, colored, tried to-day as one
of the principals in the murder last
January of George F. Young, at
Stomp Springs. A similar verdict
was rendered last night against
Greenwood Rogers, the alleged ring
leader in the conspiracy that cul-
minated in the killing of Mr.. Young
in his home January II.
Tom Young, who confessed to the
conspiracy and murder some weeks
ago and implicated Rogers and Cald-
we'll, was the main witness for the
State again to-day, telling the same
story as before with several addition
al material points. He swore that
Caldwell, at the bidding of Rogers,
secured some broom straw after leav-
ing the house, and returned and
kindled a fire under one corner Of
the cottage to make sure that the
building was fired and to make quick
work of the job. Witness swore
that Rogers, after killing and rob-
bing his victim, took a fire shovel
and threw live Goals over the room,
on the bedding and clothing, thus
starting the blaze within.
Witnesses were put on the stand to
testify to an alleged confession made
March by the defendant. These wit
nesses included Deputy Sheriff Reid
and ]. Stobo Young, son of the de-
ceased. They swore that the confess
sion was made voluntarily, and that
Caldwell said when it was over that
he felt better.'
When put on the stand by the de-
fence Junk" repudiated the state
ment, declaring that he made the
confession under duress and did not
understand the import Of 1t. Like
Rogers. he tried to prove an alibi,
but he was never able to account for
his whereabouts between II O'Clock
the night of the tragedy until after
midnight. when his brother said he
came home and went to bed.
Caldwell is only sixteen years OF
age. He was said to have been doml-
mated by Rogers, according to most
of the evidence.

CITY LOSER ON WATER
THAT BUILDERS USE

John W. Wood. building inspector,
at the weekly conclave of city officers
this morning said Moline has been
losing 81 900 a year because water that
is used for building purposes is in
large part not paid for. He advocated
a change in the ordinances to require
a written application as the basis for
the issuance of building permits, this
application to include an estimate of
the amount of water required. The
city has a prescribed rate for water
for building purposes and where notice
is given in time the amount due is
collected. The trouble has been that
there has been no adequate provision
for looking after II.

ROAD MAY PLAN
EXPANSION HERE
Activity of Milwaukee Officials
Indicates There Is Some
thing on Foot.

There seems to be good reason for
tiers. that the Milwaukee road is plan
ming important changes in its system
which may be of great benefit in this
vicinity. The chief engineer of the
company and several assistants have
spent part of the last week in East Mo-
line and Davenport making a detailed
inspection of tracts of land adjacent to
the present lines. What the purpose is,
is not given out, but it is likely that
yard extensions are in view or possibly
the establishing of repair shops in this
vicinity. Whether such shops would
be for the entire system or merely for
the southwest lines is not known. 1t
is argued that the point is scarcely
sufficiently central to best serve the
entire system. However, with the
tendency 20 consolidate industrial en-
terprises in a given center, ii may be
that some advantage is seen in getting
the general shops of the Milwaukee
near those of the Rock Island road at
Silvis. Should the general shops be
brought here, it would mean the addi-
ton of hundreds of workmen. Proba-
bilities are. 1t is said, that East Moline
will be favored over Davenport as a
location. though the latter city has the
division point and yards at present.
There are indications. also. that the
company is again considering some
means of connecting its lines here with
the one into Muscatine. so that the
haul over the Rock Island tracks from
Davenport may be avoided. 1t is also
desired to provide a route by which
the heavy freight trains will not be
run through the 10 miles or more OF
yard in the limits of the adjoining cit
les and villages from Watertown to
West Davenport. and there Is some
talk of a cutoff from the main line
east of here, running down
the lower end of the county
and crossing the Mississippi at Mus
catine. Necessity for retrenchment is
believed to have been the chief reason
that the company has not already pro- J
NOTED some such line as this.

MASKED BANDIT
SECURES SMALL
SUM FROM AGENT
Lone Burglar Holds UP and
Robs Ticket Men of D. A. I.
& N. w. Station.
SECURES BUT LITTLE
Presence of Mind of Leonard Carter
Saves Company from Heavy
Loss.

A lone bandit, his facial features
hidden by a mask, about 1920 O'Clock
this morning held up and robbed
Leonard Carter, night ticket agent at
the d. r. !. C n. W. station. The
robber no doubt intended to appro-
pirate the company's money, but it
was saved by the forethought of Mr..
Carter, who, instead of placing the
money in his pockets when he left the
station, slowed it away in the safe.
AS it was, the man secured SO in cash
and a gold ring belonging to Mr.. Car
ter at the point of revolver.
In relating the story of the holdup
to the police this morning, Mr. Carter
said that he had been out on the
tracks to seal some cars and was re-
turning to the office, when the robber
sprang out from the darkness and
showing a revolver dangerously close
to his head, demanded him to throw
up his hands. The command was
obeyed readily enough and then Mr..
Carter was searched carefully by his
assailant with his free hand.
Police Are Notified.
Giving vent to his disappointment
in failing to- find a larger amount, the
robber disappeared as suddenly as he
had come, without giving his name.
AS soon as he thought it safe to do
so-having been warned not to give
an alarm for five minutes-Mr. Carter
notified the police and several patrol
men and a detective we're detailed on
the case. A search of the vicinity,
however, was of no avail.

WONDERFUL WOOD.
There Is Practically No Limit to the
Life of <Greenheart.

There Is Practically No Limit to the
Life of sGreenheart.
most wonderful wood is that OF
the tropical tree called greenfeart
The tree belongs to the laurel family
and is exported mainly from the is.
land of Trinidad and British Guiana.
The wood is so nearly indestructibIe
that no limit to its life is known. 1t is
used chiefly in ship and dock building.
The wood is proof against the white
ant on land and the teredo in salt wa
ter. A United States government re.
port says:
Greenheart has been known to stand
in wharves for over thirty years. ana
logs that have remained under water
for hundred years are in perfectly
sound condition.
Greenheart's extraordinary resist.
ance to decay is probably owing TO the
presence of an aIkaloid known as BIZ
brine and also to certain resinous sub
stances known as tyloses. The latter
are reddish brown masses OF living
cells that grow in solid masses within
little cavities that they often ill com
pletely. As they grow with the tree
they turn black and make the wood OF
the older trees black.
As in all tropical trees. whose growth
Is continuous through the year. there
are no annual growth rings The trees
probably do not reach maturity under
20 years. A greenheart tree is from
sixty TO hundred feet in height. II
IS an evergreen without knots and has
broad. open crown. The wood weighs
