Unusual Action Follows Discovery OF
Illicit Distillery ON Farm of James
Patten.

Greenville, April 14.-Following the
finding Of an Illicit distillery on the
farm of James Patten in Oconee some
time ago, government officials have
now seized Patterns home. barn and
other outbuildings. This action is con-
sidcrod by local revenue men as a
very unusual occurrence and only
happens when the illicit plant is
found in close PROXIMITY to the resi-
dence in which the alleged operator
resides. In this case the accused
man still lives in his home but does
SO under a heavy booG.
When the officers raided Patterns
place they destroyed q distillery which
was in full operation in the cellar of
q newly constructed barn, the en-
trance to the place being gained by
n trap door in the loft of the barn.
Patten will be tried in Greenville
at the term of federal court beginning
April 21. In addition to the charge
OF moonshining Patten must answer
the charge of manufacturing stills, a
complete plant in course of contsruc-
ton having been found on his prem
ises.

Prospective for Various Offices
McLaurin Says Race for Cover

Blease's Coat Tail,

Columbia, April 14.-Claiming that
Mr.. r. 1. Manning had drawn the fac
tional lines in the race for governor,
Senator John l.. McLaurin, who is also
a candidate for that position, came
out squarely tonight on the Blease
side of the issue, saying that Mr..
Manning had espoused the Anti
Blease side. Senator McLaurin stat
ed that he intended lining all Of the
candidates up. Asked what he thought
about the issues Of the campaign,
Senator McLaurin said:
We'll, l stated them in an address
a few days ago. Mr.. Manning has
drawn the factional lines in his plat
form, and he and 1 are the only ones
who have taken a clean-cut position
as to how we stand on that issue. 1
accept the challenge and, you mark
my word, this race will be between
Manning and myself Political nom
descripts running with the hare and
barking with the hounds will never
get out Of the briar patch.
''The most importat issue is the
warehouse bill, but it is non-political,
and no one should try to make poll
tical capital out Of that. Compulsory
education is a hobby, primary reform
fake that has fizzled. out and the
Fortner bill a racial instinct.
Manning is O man 1 admire per-
sonally. but politically he has always
been against the masses for the class
es. Bleaseism does not moan Cover
nor Blease and nothing else, and he
can't run that racket over me. He
was against Tillman, so naturally is
against Blease. Mr.. Manning believes
in the rule Of minority, not ma
.ority. This must be true, or he
would not have tried to upset the re-
suit OF the last primary. We might
just as we'll fight 1t out and see wheth-
er the rule Of the people is to con-
>AANS "a viz OAA6oiSH again ldhS
charge and disfranchise enough voters
in the primary to hold them in power
indefinitely"
On the county to county campaign
he said:
Il want it continued. It is a good
thing to meet the people face to face
/ will be glad OF the opportunity, and
have no fears Of the result"
The senator was asked whom he fa-
vored for State chairman.
II have not heard that discussed
much," he said, but wherever !
have, sentiment seems to favor Col.
Willie Jones. There is certainly great
dissatisfaction, and everyone seems TO
think that the abortive attempt to
upset the last primary would not
have occurred with Col. Jones at the
helm. 1 know of no man who has
given more and received less at the
hands Of the party than Willie
Jones'"

CONGRESS AASTENS ACTION,
WILSON'S EXPRESSED DESIRE
FOR ACTION ON TRUST PRO.
GRAM HAS EFFECT,
House Body Responds With Intro
ductiOn of Omnibus Measure, While
Senator'S Agree to Submit Full Draft
Us Soon US 1t Is Possible.

Washington, April 14.-President
Wilson's reiterated desire for compile
tion OF the antitrust legislation pro-
gramme at this session Of congress
spurred congress committees to ac-
ton today. The house judiciary sub
committee responded with the intro
duction Of the omnibus bill, includ-
ing trust regulation measures and
provisions to meet demands of labor
for restriction Of injunction powers
and to insure jury trials in contempt
cases.
Members of the senate subcommit-
tee on interstate commerce conferred
late in the day and agreed to submit
to the full committee as soon as pos
sible q tentative draft Of a long con-
sidered measure to supplement the
Sherman law which will differ IN
many respects from the house meas
ure.
In submitting the bill to the house,
Representative Clayton, chairman Of
the judiciary committee, announced
that the full committee would meet
Thursday to consider it and that he
hoped the measure could be reported
in the near future.
Exemption Of labor and agricul-
tural organizations from the ban Of
the antitrust laws is provided in the
house measure.
Another feature of the bill elimi-
mates attempts to make further def
nitions Of restraints Of trade.
The measure Incorporates the plan
already made public for regulating
holding companies. for prohibiting in
terlocking directorates and for gov
erning price fixing and other trade
relations.
1t includes a provision to enable
railroads to aid in the construction Of
branch or short line railroads or to
acquire the stock Of branch or short
lines built by an Independent COM
pany where there is no substantial
competition between the two main
companies, and to permit railro. 8 to
extend any Of their own.
Under the interlocking directorates
section there is added provision
that after two years from the pas
sage Of the bill: !
mo person shall at the same time
be a director or other officer or en-
ployc Of more than one bank, back
ing association or trust company, or
ganized and operating under the
United States laws. either Of which
has deposits, capital, surplus and .n-
divided profits aggregating more than
$4,000. 900"
The interstate trade commission
bill also was reported to the house
today from the interstate commerce
committee. ''
The senate subcommittee, in addi-
ton to reporting to the full commit
tee a completed trust measure, will
submit for consideration the proposal
that an interstate trade commission
be authorized to investigate interlock-
ing directorates. holding companies,
stock watering and other features of
business and to make recommends
tons at the next session Of congress.
In view of the presidents attitude, it
Is probable, however, that no effort
will be made at this time to press this
suggestion.

BRITISH SYNDICATE TO BUY

Possibility OF Lace Factory for Co.

Columbia, April 15.-Production of
uniform standard grade Of cotton,
the direct sale Of the cotton in the
South to European spinners and the
possible establishing of a lace factory

hours yesterday between Thorn Hey
ward, personal preventative of syn

report on the situation to several of

pleased with the samples, saying that
they were exactly what the English
spinners wanted. He said that for
many years the English manufacture

OF the lack Of uniformity of Ameri-

Washington, April 14.-denry
White, formerly ambassador to France
and secretary to the American en-
bassy at London at the time the
Hay -Pauncefote treaty was negotiated.
told the senate interoceanic canals
committee today that it never was his
understanding nor that Of any of
the negotiators for Great Britain that
the United States ever contemplated
exempting American coastwise ship
ping from Panama canal tolls.
Another witness who advocated re-
peal Of toll exemption for American
ships was Prof Emory r. Johnson
of the University of Pennsylvania,
employed by Former President Taft
to frame a toll schedule for vessels
passing through the canal.
While the hearing was in progress
the senate adopted a resolution call
ing on the secretary of State, II not
incompatible with the public inter-
est, to submit all correspondence con-
nected with the negotiation of the
Clayton-Bulw treaty with Great
Britain, the subsequent Hay
rauncefote treaty and the treaty
with Panama known as the Hay
Bunau-Varilla treaty. Little discus
sion of the tolls issue developed out
side the senate, but Secretary Tumulty
made public at the White House more
than 500 kilograms received within
"a hours from Democrats in all parts
Of the country expressing approval Of
the presidents repeal policy. These
messages, Secretary Tumulty asserted,
were unsolicitd.
Prof. Johnson took the position be-
fore the canals committee that for
eign trade would suffer discrimination
by American goods being shipped free
Of tolls to Pacific coast points from
the Atlantic seaboard and then trans
shipped to the Orient
THAT would be an evasion Of the
law and one which the courts would
not permit for q moment" asserted
Senator Shields.
Prof. Johnson said he had changed
his mind somewhat about water rates
affecting railroad rates. He explained
this was due to integration of water
lines. r.
The witness declared that he con-
sidered it bad policy to charge NO
tolls on the canal. Instead OF at
tempting to build up a merchant
marine by free tolls Prof. johnson
said. it would be better to grant a
plain subsidy to American vessels.
The fact that tvr6-thirds Of the
westbound rail freight originated west
of the Mississippi valley, Prof. John
son said, left only the remaining
third to be disputed for between the
railroads and steamships plying the
canal. He thought it probable the
railroads would rather let this go
than derange their whole rate sched-
ules and that there would be little or
no competition as water carriers
would exact all the traffic would bear.
AS to international economic re-
lations, Prof. Johnson said, from every
aspect the exemption worked a dis
elimination against foreign carriers.
