WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEFEATED
House of Lords Rejects Bill by q
Vote of 1O4 TO 90.

NotS '" IOS 10 OO.
London, May 6.-The woman's
suffrage bill was rejected tonight by
the house Of lords by vote OF 1O4
to 60.
Baron Courtney Of Penwith. the
Earl of Lytton and Baron Willough-
by de Broke, spoke for the bill, while
Baron Weardale, the Marquis of
Crews and Viscount st. Aldwyn
spoke against it.
Viscount st. Aldwyn said demands
for the extension OF the parliamen-
tary suffrage to women which wore
based on the results obtained in those
states of the United States where it
had been tried, did not apply in the
United Kingdom because in the
states men were in the majority
while in the British Isles they were
in the minority.
Consequently, he said, the grant
ing OF the parliamentary vote to wo-
men OF the British Isles would mean
the handing over OF the destinies OF
the country and OF the empire to
female electorate, which, he said,
was a Derilous step to take.
Among those who voted for the
bill were Viscouht Morley OF Black
burn, the archbishop of Canterbury
and the bishops of London, Hereford,
Bangor and st. Asaph.
Those who voted against the bill
included the Marquis of Lansdowne,
Viscount Escher. the Marquis OF
Salisbury and the Earl OF Hereford.

Yorkville Special to Charleston
News and Courier, May 6.-J. X.
Wells aged %, and Pink Dover,
aged 81, both white, we're killed in 4
fight with ]. Ed Turner and his son.
Thad E. Turner, at the home of Jim
Mack, colored, about three miles
from Kings Mountain battle ground,
in this county last night at about
11.3O o'clock Both the dead men
were Drained with homemade base
ball bat about three feet long, made
of cedar. They are said to have been
engaged in manufacturing and SELL
ing Illicit whiskey. Both the Turner's
are in Jail, having surrendered to the
sheriff early this morning. An inquest
was held to-day by Magistrate A. j.
Quinn. of Glover.
None of the witness examined test
fed as to actually having seen the
killing and several who were present
seemed to know little or nothing
about it. From such as could be OBJ
tanned it seems that the deporable
affair was due to the fact that Wells
and Dover were both more or less
under the influence of wnlsKey. It is
said they had previously asserted
that they proposed to kill the next
officers of the law who undertook to
interfere with the business or arrest
ed them and that they mistook the
Turner's for officers.
HAD GONE FISHING.
The Turner's are farmers and live
on the public road about eight miles
above Yorkville. After a heavy rain
fall in that section on yesterday they
decided to go fishing. and drove to
the home of Jim Mack, and left their
buggy there and went to the creek
near by TO fish. They returned to the
house a short time before the killing
and found Dover and Wells, who
mistook them for officers, and are said
to have drawn pistols on Ed Turner
and ordered him to hold up hit
hands. Mack tesified that four shots
were nSed, and stated that Turner
fred twice and that the other parti ef
fred twice, but stated that he was
not near enough to see the move
ments OF all the parties.
After the shooting was over it wa.
discovered that both Wells and Dover
had been Drained and were practical
ly dead, and that Dover had beer
shot in the right leg below the knee
The jury returned a verdict tha
Wells and Dover had come to theil
death by reason of blows on the;l
heads inflicted by Thad +. Turner.

washington, May 7.-Develop-
ments in the Mexican situation went
steadily forward today, although tho

mediators at the coming conference.

BURNS EGGED FOR
 FRANK CASE WORK

Marietta, Ga.. May 2.-In a shower of eggs William J. Burnss rushed out of Marietta. toward Atlanta yesterday to escape a hostile crowd that had gathered in the girlhood home of Mary Phagan.
 Burns came here to get evidence in the case of Leo M. Frank, under sen tence for the girls murder. His ma chine broke down and he stopped i1A front of 8 garage for repairs. There he was recognized by R. E. l.. Howell, a, young man, who began to ply Burns with questions about certain affidavits which the Burns agency had produc- ed. Burns answers did not please him, and hot words passed.
 Suddenly Howell slapped Burns on both sides of his face.
 A crowd was gathering and Burns took to his heels. After a short run he found refuge in a local hotel The crowd followed him and gathered around the place, daring him to come out.
 Finally speeches from ex-Judge N. A. Morris and T. M, Brumby, IT,, pac- flied the crowd enough for it to agree to let Burns leave the hotel provided that he get out of the county in a hurry and keep cut.
 Burns came out with Rrumby and Morris and got into the. car, which sped out of Marietta.
 Most of those present threw eggs but their aim was bad.

 berg $s,o29.40 and costs in the suit she brought against Charles Stape1- berg, administrators on Herman's es- tate. In Danbury a few weeks ago the plaintiff was awarded 4,529 by a jury but Judge Burpee said this was excessive and threatened to set aside the verdict unless $1,000 was remitted. This was agreed upon today by law yers for both parties
 The action was brought to recover the plaintiffs dover right in Stapel- berg's estate and also to get back money loaned. She claimed Herman had deceived her by saying her hus- band was dead and that she<was free to marry in this state. Thereupon she married Stape1berg only to dis- cover later that her husband, whose name was Wagner was alive in New York Stapelberg died three years ago at the age of 50.
