following:
Biennial sessions of the general
assembly were urged.
Revision of the tariff laws by the
Wilson administration was approv-
ed.
Income tax laws and the new cur
rency law were described as leglsla-
ton for the benefit of the people.
President Wilson was described as
genius who has avoided war
with Mexico when a weaker man
would have fallen before the public
clamor.
Efforts to bring about the repeal
of the Panama Canal tolls act were
commended.
Legislation for the establishment
of a drainage fund for reclamation
of water-covered lands was urged
Further development of the public
highways of the country was also
advocated.
The committee on credentials de-
termined to seat the Barnwen dele
cation from Charleston county fol-
lowing four-hour session late yes
terday when Joseph w. Barnwell,
leading the delegation by the name,
and Mayor John P. Grace, of Char
lesion, at the head of the other con-
testing representation, made strong
fights for recognizance.
Mr.. Barnwell centered his fight
before the committee on the failure
Of the Grace faction to remain in
the county convention until it has
been found that the opposing faction
would not be accorded it's just rights.
He pointed out that the BarnWell
delegation were right in basing their
actions upon the club rolls prepar-
ed by the county executive commit
tee, which, he said. the Grace fac
ton refused to do.
In attempting to refute this argu-
ment. the Grace faction, with Mayor
Grace as spokesman, contended that
the Charleston county convention
two years ago, through the efforts of
the Barnwell faction, had made GER
tain rules for the filing of certified
copies of the delegations, which, he
claimed, the Barnwell faction had in
this instance violated. He assert
ed that the Grace faction had COM
piled with all those rules.

LEAP FROM BUGGY IS FATAL.
Mrs. Lonnie Redd is Killed Near
Aiken.

Aiken, May 21.-Jumping from a
buggy when the horse her husband
was driving early this afternoon be-
came frightened and ran away, Mrs.
Lonnie Redd, who lives near Aiken,
was instantly killed. Her head struck
the ground and her neck was broken.
Mrs. Redd had been to Aiken with
her husband and when their shopping
was done they started to return
home. Just below the city they pass
ed a friend in another buggy and
p1ayfully Mr.. Redd struck at him
with the buggy whip. Mr.. Redd's
horse became frightened at the swish
Of the whip and started to run. Mr..
Redd was unable to control the ami
NAL for the reason that the bride
bits broke. He told Mrs. Redd to
lump, and as she did so she was
thrown heavily to the ground. Death
was instantaneous. The accident oc-
Cured on the Montmorenci road, two
miles from the city, about 1 o'clock.
It was at first reported that an au-
tomobile frightened the horse, but
that was erroneous.
Before her marriage to Mr.. Redd
the dead woman was Mrs. Hamp
Woodward. Her first husband was
killed by a train in 1903 between
Aiken and Montmorenel, not far from
where she met her tragic death this
afternoon.
Coroner Spradley held an inquest
over the remains this afternoon.

new rules intended to reform the
primary system, which he described
as loose and disjointed.' Deplor-

of money in elections, he strongly
urged the adoption by this State of
the Australian balloting system.
Compulsory education was advocat-
ed by him, when he stated his be-
lief that the electorate Of this State,
in themselves, would assist in purify
ing the primary systems in proper
ton to their education. 1--WE can
not have an intelligent electorate
without universal education, and we
can not have universal education
without compulsory education" he
asserted.
President Wilson Commended.
In the report of the committee on
platform and rules, strong commen-
dation of President Wilson's poll
cies in the great questions he has
been forced to consider were incor-
porated. 1--WE endorse without quail
fication the administration of Presi-
dent Wilson," reads the report.

More Meat for Haymakers
 and Able Bodied Inmates Must Work

Following the strike of Lakeview Home inmates over the '-a1l able-bod- jed persons must work rule, inaugur- ated by present Superintendent J. J. Macdonald, complaints were yester- day investigated by the Lakeview Home committee, after they had been transmitted through Superintendent Spencer R. Gordon.
 It was found that the order only affected able bodied men and women particularly the latter class and the men employed in farm work. The women's grievance against doing scrubbing, culinary work, etc, will be taken under more mature deliberation of the board when the conmittee's re- port is filed.
 It was found that able bodied men working in the hay fields should re- ceive three meals a day at which meat was served and Superintendent Mac Donald was ordered to arrange a third meat meal for their benefit.
 Superintendent Gordon today said he had investigated conditions at the home and was fully in accord with the rules being laid down by Dr. Mac Donald. Those who did not feel dis posed to abide by the regulations es- tab1ished by the Board of Charities or were inclined to foraent trouble for the authorities would be invited to retire from the home.

MAY USE AMIESlTE BETWEEN RAILS IN
 FAIRFIELD AVENUE
Connecticut Go. Has No Of ficial Notice of Action of
 Common Council
Understood That Company Will Use Same Grade As
 Was Used Tn Stratford

Anniesite and not Warrentta will probably be the pavement laid in Fairfield avenue by the Connecticut Co along it's tracks from the Fair field avenue viadqIct to Ash Creek bridge However, City Engineer Ter ry does not consider axatesdte a. good pavement to lay alongside the rails and for two feet on the outside as the Connecticut Go. is required to do. MT. Terry does not consider Warren ite or any other bitiminous n1acadam the proper pavement to lay in any tRloroughfare where street cars run.
 The city engineer will have nothing to do with the pavement in Fairfield avenue. This is part Of a state E7lsEs way laid under the direction of State Highway Commissioner Bennett and Director of Public Works Courtade last year. When City Engineer Ter ry set the grades for the pavement at that time his work ended and he will not have any supervisory interest in the pavement which the Connecticut Go. is required to lay
 At it's last meeting -in compliance con1on council voted to order the Con necticut Co ito improve their portion of the highway by laying pavement of similar material and construction to that laid by the state and city 2
 City Engineer Terry said today T do not CONEl9ET any k1I1d or D1EuTnl- nous pavement good to lay beside car tracks unless the ties which hold the rails are laid in cement Otherwise after a time the springing of the ties breaks the pavement along the rails side the tracks. This means patch ing to keep the pavement firm or re- surfacing. The one is very unsatis- factory, the other of course very ex- penstve.'
 MT. Terry would not say what sort of pavement he favored for Fairfield avenue because he has no wish to be involved in a controversy. He said if his opinion is asked by the board of aldermen or the paving and sewer commission he will give it. Neither would MT. Terry say anything about conditions along the state road in Stratford avenue. Tn the town of Stratford the state road is paved with Warrenite while the Copnecticut Co. has its portion of the roadway paved with amfeEdte. It iss said that the lat ter pavement is wearing better than Warrenite.
 5 At the headquarters Of the Con- nectiut co. in New Haven it was said today that no word of the action of the council in, ordering the company to do it's share of the work in Fair field avenue. had yet been received. Officials there gave the opinion that when the Connecticut Go. is ready to lay the pavement in Fsairfe1d avenue anniesite and not Warrenite will be used. General Manager J. F. Punder- foord has the paving matter in charge.

WASHOUT WRECKS
 TRAIN, 10 INJURED

Sheldon, Vt, July s-Ten persons were injured. one seriously and many others were shaken up and bruised when a Central Vermont train went into a washoItt near sheldon Springs last night.
 The accident happened in what is known as Chadwick Gut. The roadbed had been washed away by a terrific rainstorm leaving 8 gully 20 feet deep below the tracks. The engine passed over before the track fell in but was derailed on the further side of the gap.
 At the same instant that the loco motive was derailed the tracks gave way beneath the weight of the ten der. The tender did not fall, however. as it was telescoped by the baggage car in such a way as to form an arch across the gully.
 The fireman was badly scaIded and a mail clerk was painfully hurt The engineer, baggageman and six passen- gers received minor injuries. All were taken to a hospital at St. Albans to- day.
