WESTON and SIMS LAND.
PRESIDENT ENDS DEADLOCK
OVER BIG FEDERAL JOBS.
Columbia and Orangeburg Men Nam
ed District Attorney and Mar
shall, Respectively.

Washington, February 9.-Presi-
dent Wilson ended the long drawn
out contest over the South Carolina
Federal district attorneyship and
marshalship by sending to the senate
the name of Francis H. Weston, Of
Columbia, to fill the former position,
and the name of James L. Sims, of
Orangeburg, to fill the latter.
Mr.. Weston is a prominent lawyer
of the Columbia bar and at present
holds the office of senator from Rich
land county. Mr.. Sims is editor and
proprietor of the Times and Demo
crat, of Orangeburg. He has never
held public office except that of
school trustee.
The designations of District Attor-
ney Ernest Cochran and Marshal ].
Duncan Adams, the Republican in
cumbents, have been in hand here
for a number of months, having been
forwarded Immediately upon the sug-
gestion by Attorney General Nc
Reynolds that the administration
would like to appoint men in SYM
pathy with it's policies. No fault
whatever has been found by the de-
partment of justice with the work OF
Messrs. Cochran and Adams.
In spite of the delay which occur
red in presidential action on the
recommendation of Messrs. Weston
and Sims by the attorney general,
due largely to the desire of Mr.. Will
son to oblige Senator Tillman, who
had hoped to have congress establish
another judicial district in South
Carolina by this time, the ultimate
nomination of Weston and Sims was
made almost certain when Mr.. Nc
Reynolds endorsed them.
Senator Tillman endorsed ]. VIM
Thurmond, of Edgetield, for the dis
trict attorneyship and Sims for the
marshalship. Senator Smith endors-
ed Weston for the district attorney
ship, and said that he would not op-
pose Sims for the marshalship, ii
nominated. Later Senator Tillman
withdrew his endorsement of Sims,
but submitted no other name.

Rome, Feb. 10.-The unfamiiiari-
ty of the Italians with baseball to-
day was demonstrated by the refusal
of the authorities to permit a game
between the New York team of the

the American league, withou. first
being convinced that it is not a
brutal game After the points OF
tae game were explained the author
tiles still insisted that net be erect
ed within the stadium to protect the

Even when promises were given
that this precaution would be taken
permission was withheld until Wed
nesday at noon, when few innings
will be played for the benefit of the
authorities who desire to judge for
themselves what manner of game the
American national pastime is.

LAD REPORTS THEFT.
Rutherford Klein Tells Chief Of
Police That Safe is Robbed.

Lancaster, Feb 10.-Early Tues
day morning young Rutherford
Klein, who has been in the employ
of John Crawford, clerk and treas
urer of the city and also of the water
works commission, after going into
the Office sent the negro janitor to
the police and shortly afterwards
went out in the street and Informed
Chief of Police Bell that the office had
been broken into and the safe enter
ed and robbed. Sheriff Hunter and,
Mr.. Crawford were soon on hand and
began looking into the matter. Mr..
Crawford suspected that the young
man was the guilty party by his
demeanor and by finding in the
drawer of his desk one of the pack
ages of money which he had left in
the safe the night before.
After being questioned by the
sheriff, young Klein finally admitted
taking the money and carried the Of
ticer to an outbuilding at the rear
of Mr.. Crawford's Office, under which
he had secreted it. The money was
wrapped up in handkerchief. Mr..
Crawford had inadvertently omitted
to turn the combination on the safe
the night before after boiling it and
the young man on going to his work
this morning, finding the safe un-
locked, could not resist the tempta-
ton to take the money.
In his hurry he evidently forgot
the package of money he had placed
temporarily in the desk drawer. The
sum taken was $1,000, of which
S216.5O belonged to the city and
S15449 to the waterworks commits
sion, all Of which was recovered. The
young man was taken to jail and a
warrant will be sworn out charging
him with grand larceny. Mr.. Klein
is about 20 years of age. Much SYM
pathy is felt in the city for his par
entS.

SIMS CASE BEGUN.
Many Witnesses Against Spartan
burg Lawyer.

Columbia, February 10.-At two
sessions of the Supreme Court to-
day testimony for the petitioners and
for the respondent was submitted in
the case for disbarment of G. P. Sims,
an attorney of Spartanburg. During
the first session, which lasted from 10
to 2 o'clock, evidence was introduced
to substantiate the many charges pre-
ferred against Mr.. Sims, alleging un-
ethical conduct, and at later after
noon session, Mr.. Sims was placed on
the stand in his own defence.
MIR. Sims, both in his returns to
the action and on the stand, denied
emphatically that he had ever acted
in an unprofessional manner. Char
acter witnesses will likely be sum-
moned at to-morrow's session to re-
fute the statements of a number Of
witnesses that they would not be-
lieveaMr. Sims on oath, and that his
| dS du cAo oo
lawyer was bad.
While on the stand to-day Mr..
Sims spoke with great emotion in
denying the charges against him and
charged that they had been inspired
by malice, as had been the state
ments, he said, by witnesses who tes-
titled that he was not of good moral
character.
All of the allegations are denied in
the return of Mr.. Sims, which was
read to the court by S. J. Nichols,
who, with G. c. Wyche and w. NJ.
Jones, is serving as attorneys for Mr..
Sims. Part of the return of Mr.. Sims
the court refused to have read, say
ing that it contained improper ex-
pressions, and the offending para
graphs Mr.: Nichols omitted. Solici-
tor J. K Henry represented the
petitioners.

EARTHQUAKE FELT.
Earth Trembles From Montreal SOutl,
to Philadelphia.

New York, February 10.-An
earthquake lasting from fifteen to
thirty seconds and disturbing partic-
ularly what are geologically known
as the Devonian and Silurian sections
of the northeastern part of the Unit
ed States took place shortly after
1.30 o'clock p. m. to-day. 1t was
especially severe in the central and
northern parts of New York State
Virtually all of New York State, in
cluding this city, felt the shock, and
New England generally, lower cas-
tern Canada and parts of New Jersey
and eastern Pennsylvania were shak-
en-. Tremors were recorded as far
south as Washington and as far west
as St. Louis.
At Albany the shock was severe
enough to shake pictures from the
walls of the Capitol, and at Bingham
ton laborer was killed by the cav
ing in of a trench in which he was
working. At Fort Plain the heavy
doors of a bank vault shook under
the influence of the quake, and from
other parts of the State the falling
of chimneys, swaying of houses and
destruction of fragile objects was
reported.
In New York city the preliminary
tremor was felt at 1915. At 1.35.
As the shock had reached its maxi
mum intensity and at 1880 the
movement subsided altogether, max
ing the total duration Of the quake
two and one-quarter minutes as given
by the seismograph. The period IN
which the shock was perceptlble by
man was from ten to thirty seconds
and started in a majority of cases
about 1.35.
So far as known the movement
was from northwest to- southeast,
with the boundary line of the terri
tory affected converging to point
in the Atlantic.
The initial movement was at points
near the upper Atlantic seaboard
about 1.35 and extended to places in
the northern parts of New York
State, about three minutes later
reaching Albany at 1.3S, Watertown
at 1.39 and Rochester at 1.37. From
points between these cities the
movement is reported to have taken
place between 134 and 1.37. No
seisbographic records being obtain.
able from these localities the time
given in these cases deals with the
moment when the shock was felt.

Tillman and McLaurin Shake Hands

Columbia, Feb. S.-United States
Senator B. R. Tillman and State
Senator John L. McLaurin met and
shook hands here yesterday for the
first time since they fought on the
floor of the United States senate
thirteen years ago, when they were
occupying the seat of South Caro-
lima in that chamber. Senator Till
man and his former lieutenant were
cordial in their meeting yesterday
and chatted as if they enjoyed the
reunion. Politics were not mention
ed in the few minutes they were to-
gether.
The ending of the feud between
these two men, who have long been
prominent in this State, will recall
TO many of the older voters the early
days of the Tillman movement, when
the rugged Edgetield farmer, was as
sisted by John l.. McLaurin, John
Gary Evans and the other lieutenants
of the reform movement, which con-
tanned some of the brainiest men
South Carolina. Capt. Tillman went
into the governors chair, and from
there to the United States senate
MIR. McLaurin served in the legisla-
ture, then as attorney general, went
to congress and succeeded Joseph II.
Earle in the United States senate,
becoming the colleague of his politi-
cal leader, B. R. >Tillman.
But the bond between the two
was strained and finally was entire
ly severed when Senator McLaurin
followed what was called CONNER
cial Democracy and voted for the
ratification of the treaty of peace
with Spain. How the two former
friends finally clinched on the floor
of the United States senate, thus be-
coming national episode, is recalled
in South Carolina.

CHINESE STATESMAN
TO BE HEARD HERE

Ng Poon Chew, the Chinese states
man, journalist and orator, who is to
lecture here on the Chautauqua, has
had most interesting career He was
placed by his parents under the instruc-
tion of Taoist priest with the view OF
his entering the priesthood of that sect,
but the spirit Of adventure seized aim
in early boyhOod and he came to AM
erica in 1879. He then entered the
mission schools in California, and was
converted to the Christian faith. He
graduated from San Anselo in 1892.
Later he established the Chinese H.
lustrated Weekly News, and in 1899
established the first. Chinese daily
newspaper, the Chung Sal Vat Po, in
| America.
He was a personal friend of DR.. Sun
Vat Sen, and rendered much assistance
to that great reformer. He was ap-
pointed by the Chinese government as
adviser to the consul general at San
| Francisco in 1906 until the revolution,
and in 1913 was appointed consular
representative at San Francisco by the
republic of China. The degree of doe
| TOT Oh IeLLerb was conferred on MIN
by the University Of Pittsburg, Pa.
His newspaper plant was burned in
the great fire in San Francisco in 1906,
but three days after that he managed
to get out his paper again by photo
engraving method till new type came
from China, while the other Chinese
papers waited a year before they start
ed again.
Just before the revolution, he trav.
eled through the whole empire of Chi
ma. While in the interior the natives
called him the "Imitation foreigner, -
and strange to say, for five months he
managed to get along in northern Chr
ma with the English language, as the
dialects there were different from the
southern one, where he came from.
He has two children now studying in
the University of California and two
more will enter next year, and all are
preparing to return to China after
graduation to held in the uplift of Chi
ma. He is brilliant orator and has
come to be known as the "Orienta'
Mark Twain" by reason of his broad
vein Of humor.

LAND REDISTRIBUTION
IS VEXINC PROBLEM
Pacification Of Mexico ImpOs-
sibIe Until Poor Man Is
Given a Chance
BY John E. Nevin.

Washington, May N.-The success or
failure of the American-Mexican medi-
alton conference at Niagara Falls was
considered here today to depend largely
on General Carran2a.
Mediators and ENJOYS had practical
ly agreed to prepare a list, sufficiently
to all interests involved, of candidates
for provisional president Of Mexico and
to leave it to the Mexico City congress
to make selection from the list.
The question was, however: Was 1t
possible to prepare such list which
would suit every0nel
SO far as the American and Huerta
envoys were concerned, it appeared
that the thing could be done. They
had canvassed the proposition between
themselves and were in position to
know what they were talking about.
Carranza, however, being unrepresent.
ed at the conference, was an unknown
quantity.
Should he approve the list, it was
said there seemed every reason to con.
slider the mediation negotiations sue
cessful. Should he reject it, it was ad-
mitted, it was practically certain the
conference would fail.
One thing was certain-Carranzo
would not be on the list. This was
understood to be satisfactory to him
1t was stated that he was willing tt
let his candidacy wait until genera
election could be held. He intimated
however, that he would not endorse the
name of any candidate of President
Huerta's selection-that the list must
be made up wholly of candidates op
posed to the present Mexico City re-
gime.
Secretary Of State Bryan was keep
ing in close touch with the rebel junta
here.

HUERTA REPORTED ON
WAY TO SEACOAST
By William G. shenhsrd

Vera Cruz, Mex, May PA report
that emissaries from Mexico City had
asked General Funston if President
Huerta would be received inside the
American lines was current here today.
Funston, when asked concerning it,
would not discuss the rumor. He ad-
mitted, however that ne had askeu
permission from Washington to give
out budget of news later in the day.
Another report was that the dictator
was on his way to Puerto Mexico today
to take passage on German ship, but
of this story there was no confirma-
tion, and it was not generally believed.
1t was a fact, however, that residents
Of the capital expected him to flee
sooner or later
