is being made in and near this city
for robber who looted the mail car
on Southern railway Train No. II late
last night under conditions absolutely
identical with those which attended
the holdup Of the same train at the

train was entering Columbia from
Charleston, a masked bandit entered
the mail car, and covered the mail
clerk, C. e. Thomas, with his revolver
While the official stood with appraised
hands, the robber went through the
mail sacks, securing a quantity of val
liable registered mail. The letter mail
was not molested. The police believe

MEXICAN POLICY
Senator Asks What Has Be-

American Nation.
RAPS THE PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Declar-
ing that American manhood had been
put to shame by the attitude of Will

the Mexican situation and asserting
that I'VE should have sent our sol

body of William S. Benton, the British
subject slain by Gen. Villas orders,
Senator Works of California today
pronounced the most drastic arraign-
ment that the present governmental
regime has received.
What right" he said, had Villa to
say whether the body Of the victim
of his wrath and cruelty should be
removed or not?"
What has become of our courage
and manhood that we could leave it
to him to settle such a question:"
The senator attacked the Mexican
policy of the administration as ''ridi-
culous and shameful" and asserted
that he was convinced that the United
States must soon deal with Mexico in
a decisive way.
Works paid his compliments to
President Wilson as a violator of his
platform plank for free Panama tolls
saying:
"If this is done to satisfy the de-
mands of Great Britain. the people
will not be satisfied with his submits
sion of legislation about our domes-
tic affairs to the dictation of for
eign country. However. if the Presi-
dent is satisfied for good and valid
reasons that this free toll clause
should be repealed, his advice that it
should be done in spite of the decla-
ration Of his party to the contrary
