TERR.AZAS' LIFE is SAFE.
Failure to Pay Ransom Will Not
Cause Execution, Says Villa.

El Paso, Texas, March 9.-Failure
to pay the ransom demanded for Luis
Terrazas, Jr., will not result in the
prisoners execution. according to a
telegram received here from Gen.
Villa at Chihuahua.
News Of the telegram came from
rebel agents last night. The agents
declared, however, that Gen. villa
certainly would expose Terrazas to
the enemy's fire at Torreon unless the
prisoners father, Gen. Luis Terra
Zas, refrains from political activity.
The younger Terrazas, it is assert
ed, always has been held principally
as hostage to control his fathers
ehortS in behalf of Gen. Huerta.
A telegram to Villa from FREDERICK
Gonzales Garza pointed out that to
execute TerraZas for non-payment
N"t idnsom would be barbarity
which, coming on top Of the indigna-
ton aroused by the killing Of Will
liam 5. Benton, would seriously in
Jure the Constitutionalist cause in
the United States and Europe. The
telegram suggested that the 500, 900
pesos, or $3.50, 200, was a small sum
compared with the expenses Of run
ming the revolution, and that it was
mere nothing compared with the
storm of criticism it was certain to
arouse

nouncement that he would be a can
didate for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor to be elected at

The political career Of the gentle
man from Marlboro is one which has
no equal in the political annals Of the

over the State in 1890, Mr.. McLau-
rim was one Of the principal lieuten-
ants Of Capt. B. r. Tillman, and
stood high in the ranks of the "Re-

political honors. AS member OF the
General Assembly he took part in
shaping legislation under Governor
Tillman. He was then elected At
torney General, and from there went
to Congress to represent the Sixth,
District. He was appointed by Gov
ernor Ellerbe to fill the seat in The
United States Senate made vacant by
the death Of Senator Earle, and at
the primaries won the nomination
and was elected for the full term.

NERGARA'S BODY NOW IN TEXAS.
condition of Corpse Indicates Torture
Before Execution.

Laredo, Texas, March "a shovel
sticking in the soft earth Of the open
grave to-day furnished the single clue
to the identity OF the mysterious
night visitors, who early yesterday
removed the body of Clemente Yer
CARA from Mexican to American soil.
Around the handle OF the shovel
was card bearing the word "recur-
dos" (remembrance). Vergara's
body, which was secretly disnterred
from the grave at HidalgO, Mexico,
laid at lonely spot on the American
side Of the Rio G. 'nde, As miles
above Laredo, was discovered early
Sunday morning. 1t was found by
Federal representative, State officer
and county deputy sheriff, Who
was responsible for its removal from
the Mexican side was still problem
to-day.
Superficial examination showed
gun-shot wounds in the head and
neck, a blow which crushed the
skull, mutilated left hand, twisted
and charrod by fire as if torture had
been inflicted.
Texas Rangers were first reported
to have returned the body OF the
dead American from Mexico, but this
was later denied Capt. Sanders, OF
the Texas Rangers; Consul Garrett,
and Deputy Sheriff Petty found the
bodv on the river bank. Later they
admitted they had been informed 1t
was there. Who were the informants
they refused to say. They said, how
ever. that neither Federal or State
authorities had part in the incident.
According to the best advices to-
day men, including friends Of the
dead Texas ranchman, comprised the
party which rescued the body.
Identification was made by the
dead mans son and by numerous
friends. The body was not badly de-
comp osed, despite its three weeks
burial, and in addition to recognizing
the features, young Vergara took a
bit Of cloth from the trousers which
enclosed the body and matched 1t to
the coat which his father had on the
day he crossed the Rio Grande.

mates i'm New York.

New York, March 7.-Hunger and
cold drove one man into smashing a
Dig snow window yesterday in order
TO break his way into Jail, and made
another man so wretched that he
twice tried to drown himself.
The first-shabby, white-haired
and 6O years old-walked up to the
show window Of John Spellman's hat
store last night, holding heavy
stone. He sent the stone crashing p
through the pane and $160 worth of
plate glass tangled to the sidewalk.
He did this directly under the eyes
or Patrolman Gaffney, who seized
him and demanded: What did you
do that for % H.. -

At the Oak Street police station,
Where he was locked up on a charge
ol malicious mischief, he said he was
hrthur REILLY, moulder; that he
haG peeh out or work for a long time
and had not eaten for two DAYS.
The would-be-suicide was a youth
of 20-Norman Asnovskv-.-who
came here from Canada looking for
work, and had been living at the
Mills Hotel until his money gave out.
For three days he had been without
food and shelter.
In his desperation he leaned into
Harlem river from the bridge at
10Th street and Sd avenue. Alfred
E: Ems, canal boat captain, pulled
MIN into row boat and set him
ashore. Asnovsky straightway jump
ed back into the river. Men pulled
MN out again and he was taken to
Lincoln Hospital, prisoner.

Young Rockefeller and the girl met
years ago in the Euclid Avenue Bap-

belle, invited him to social affairs
in her home and introduced him into
Cleveland society.
Bringing out John" was task,
according to Mrs. Cummings, because
he wanted to save his pennies instead
of buying clothes.

THE USE OF ARMS IS URGED.
Intervene, Protect Foreigners and
"Avoid Inevitable War"

Washington, March 9.-The lid of
secrecy regarding Mexican affairs
was lifted in the United States Sem
ate to-day by Senator Fall, Republi-
can, Of New Mexico, who urged
armed intervention for the protection
Of Americans and other foreigners in
the stricken republic.
The galleries were crowded to
overfiowing and remained so for
hours, until Senator Shively, of In
diana, had spoken for the admins
tratlon, expressing regret that the
subject had been discussed in open
session and avering that no adequate
solution had been offered for the
problem.
Senator Fall, in a lengthy narra-
ton of incidents and outrages to
Americans in Mexico, held the inter
est of the Senate and galleries for
more than three hours Assailmg
the Administrations policy as inade-
quate, declaring that President Will
son knew nothing about real condi-
tionS and had been mistaken in every
act Of his administration toward Mex
leo, the New Mexico Senator pleaded
for intervention to avoid inevitable
war.
Emphasizing the danger of war
with great foreign power unless
something should be done speedily,
Senator Fall referred to comments
in the German press over the killing
or the British subject, Benton, by or
der of Gen. Villas court-martial. and
declared:
when the German official press
said that should a German citizen be
murdered in Mexico, Germany would
not acquiesce like Great Britain, then
| say to you Senators there is immi-
nent danger of conflict between the
United States and this country with
which we should always be at peace.
Il believe the American people can
be left to handle any critical condi-
tion, provided they are informed on
the subject. / am not one who be-
lieves 1t can be incompatible with
the public interest to send to this
Senate details of outrages on Ameri-
can citizens. I am not one who be-
lieves the Constitution should be
pushed aside and let one man assume
the executive and legislative powers
of the government.

KILLING NEAR COWARDS.
Trouble Arose Over Line Ditch and
Results i'm Tragedy.
News and Courier. J

Scranton, S. c., March 9.-Satur-
day night about 10 o'clock, about
two miles above Cowards, in Flor
ence county, Herbert Evans, Sam Ev-
ans and Jesse Evans, all brothers,
and John B. Miles, Troy Miles and
Bishoff Higgins were filling up line
ditch between the Evanses and John
B. Hicks. John b. Hicks, upon be-
ing Informed that these men were at
work filling up the ditch, 1t is said,
Immediately got his shotgun from his
Esresideaae7 an went' to he spo tsHlete
the men were working and, it is all
legged, without a word, shot into the
crowd and wounded Sam Evans and
Troy Miles.
From the information gathered it
seems that either one of the Evans
brothers, Miles or Higgins at once
opened fire on John B. Hicks and fG-
tally wounded him, Hicks eXclaiming
"Don't shoot any more; you have
killed me; take me home" death re-
sulting Immediately.
The trouble, 1T is said, arose about
the line ditch between Hicks and the
Evans boys, which has been standing
for years, and 1T appears that both
sides were well armed and ready to
kill. After the shooting Herbert
Evans, John b. Miles and Bishoff
Huggins surrendered to the proper
officers and are now in the county
jail, while the wounded members of
the party are at their homes under
guard receiving medical attention.
John b. Hicks was a farmer 38
years old, the youngest son Of w. ].
Hicks. member Of one Of the most
prominent families in Florence coun-
ty. He leaves a wife and several
small children. The Evans boys are
all young married men, sons OF the
late John Evans. Huggins is bro
ther Of M. B. Huggins, of Timmons-
Vile. All of the parties are prOmi-
nent men and their family connec-
tiOns are many.
