SUFFRAGETTES COMING.
Arrangements Have Been Made for
Several Meetings at Charleston.

Washington, February 22.-Wo-
man suffragists are going to Invade
the South in a private car. DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, notwithstanding the
accident that happened to her a week
ago, is going to take the road and
make a number of speeches in the
Southern States. DR.. Shaw once be-
fore, when suffering on account of a
similar accident, made campaign
through Texas with her ankle In a
plaster cast, and she is going to do
the same now, if necessary. The date
at New Orleans, which was fixed for
March 8, had to be abandoned, but it
is possible that DR.. Shaw and her
party will reach there at later date.
Arrangements have been made for
very large meeting at Charleston, S.
c., where several speeches are to be
made.
The most important meeting of all
will be at Birmingham, Ala, whore a
large woman suffrage conference is
to be held on March 9 and 10. The
suffragists say that this meeting will
be especially interesting in view of
the prominent part Representative
Underwood played in defeating the
resolution for a woman suffrage COM
mittee Mr.. Underwood has told
members of the congressional COM
mittee of the National American Wo-
man Suffrage Association, that he
does not want woman suffrage
agitated in Alabama. The women
who are going to invade the South
and make speeches for suffrage will
"agitate' that subject notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Underwood's desire.
DR.. Shaw and the other members
of the party will appear at Tusea-
loosa, Ala, Atlanta, Ca, Columbia,
S. c., and at Jacksonville, Fla. a
very large mass meeting is to be held
at Atlanta, and the women intend
to take an active part in TIE coming
campaign in that State. In Florida,
one of the candidates for United
States senator has declared himself
in favor of suffrage, and he will no
doubt receive the support of the
suffragists.

Her Only Concern.

Sir David Baird, the first baronet,
was a famous Anglo-Indian soldier
who early in his career had the un-
pleasant experience of being thrown
into the black hole of Calcutta dur
ing the mutiny.
Like a number of other eminent
soldiers, he was not blessed with too
sweet a temper, and when his otd
mother was told that the prisoners
in the black hole were tied together
her only comment was:
Heaven help the poor man thats
tied to our Davie!"

CONFIRMS SIMS AND WESTON.
As L. s. District Attorney and Mar
shaI, Respectively.

shall, Respectively.
Washington, February 1S.-By
confirming this afternoon the nomi-
nations of Francis H. Weston, of Co.
lumbia, to be district attorney, and
James L. Sims, of Orangeburg, to be
United States marshal, both for the
Federal district of South Carolina,
the senate settled finally two con-
tests which have been watched with
absorbing interest by the people of
the Palmetto State. Confrmatory
action was taken by the senate just
nine days after the nominations were
sent in by President Wilson.
Selected Months Ago.
Some months ago the president Sc
lected Messrs. Weston and Sims for
district attorney and marshal, re-
spectively, the two most lucrative
Federal offices in this State; next to
the United States district judgship.
At that time it was understood that,
through an agreement said to have
existed between Senators Tillman
and Smith, there would be no delay
in the nominations being sent to the
senate by the president, those who
held to such belief were disappointed.
Tillman Kept Up Fight.
Senator Tillman, it seems, was not
disposed to give up the strong fight
he was making for his candidate for
district attorney, J. William Thur
mond, Esq, of Edgefeld, and at his
instance the nominations were with
held. Senator Smith was backing Mr..
Weston, and it was understood that
neither senator would put forth a
candidate in opposition to Mr.. Sims
for marshal, although both declined
to admit that Mr.. Sims was their
man" So the matter stood until
February 9, when the nominations
were sent to the senate, as originally
planned by the president.
Confirmed in Nine Days.
The nominations were referred to
the senate committee on judiciary,
which, on Monday, February 16, re-
turned favorable reports, confirma-
ton following two days later, nine
days after the senate received the
nominations.
Private and thoroughly reliable in
formation, since Messrs. Weston and
Sims we're first selected by the presi-
dent, was to the effect that Attorney
General McReynolds and President
Wilson intended to stand by their Sc
lections, the attorney general having
recommended the appointment of
both men, and the apparent conten-
ton over the district attorneyship
was deplored by the administration.
1t was also said that the president
desired to make both appointments at
the same time, hence the delay in
naming the marshal.
It is expected that the new dis
trict attorney and marshal will quail
fy and begin their respective duties
shortly. Mr.. Weston, who is senator
from Richland county, will succeed
District Attorney Ernest F. Cochran,
and Mr.. Sims, owner and editor of
the Times and Democrat, of Orange
burg, will succeed Marshal ]. Duncan

following announcement:

plant. ."-Exchange

BAMBERG, S. c., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY
BECKER GETS ANOTHER TRIAL
Court of Appeals Reserves Decision
in Rosenthal Case.

Albany, N. Y, February 24.-The
conviction of Charles Becker, a for
mer New York police lieutenant, of
the murder of Herman Rosenthal, to-
day was reversed and the convictions
of the four gunner for the same
crime were affirmed by the court of
appeals.
Justice Golf, the court held, erred
in many of his rulings in Becker S
trial and appeared to be prejudicial
in his attitude toward the defendant.
The reversal was based solely on
these grounds No attempt was made
by the court to say whether the
weight of evidence against Becker
was sufficient to warrant his convic-
ton. 1t was pointed out, however,
that the testimony against him was
given by witnesses Of low class and
as much of it was open to doubt, he
therefore was entitled to a fairer
trial than he received.
All Members Concur.
All of the seven members of the
court, except Judge Werner, who act
ed as presiding judge when the. ap-
peal was argued, concurred in the
prevailing Becker opinion, which was
written by Judge Hiscock. In dis
senting opinion Judge Werner said
that the main contentious of the State
had been amply proven to warrant
conviction.
The much mooted question as to
the status of Sam Sleeps, who, the
jury in the Becker case decided was
not an accomplice to the crime, still
is unsettled. The prevailing opin-
ion merely said there was doubt in
the minds of some of the court as
to the propriety of excluding Sleeps
as an accomplice.
The decision in the case of the
four gunmen, "Gyp the Blood, y
"Whitey" Lewis, ':Dago Frank and
Lefty Louie" was unanimous. They
had averred that the evidence against
them was insufficient to warrant con-
viction, and also that the court had
erred in handling their cases, but
these contentious were held to- be
groundless. ~.
To Fix Execution Dates.
The date for the execution of the
gunner will be fixed by the court
within few days.
The death warrants are in the
clerks office ready for the signatures
of the judges when they decide when
the electrocutions shall take place
The law provides that the date OF
execution shall not be deferred more
than six weeks after the judgment
of conviction has been announced
The court of appeals, however, US
ually allows only five weeks to elapse
If precedent is followed the gunmen
will be electrocuted during the lat
ter part of March. Although the
court made no attempt to pass on the
weight of any of the evidence, nor
to fix the status of any of those al.
legged to have been connected with
the crime, other than the five con-
victed men, it dealt at length with
their testimony.
Regarding Sam Schepps, the opin-
ion said: while the presiding jus,
tice permitted the jury to find that
Schepps was not an accomplice OF
Rose and the others and therefore
guilty like them of the murder Of
Rosenthal, some of the members
of the court believe that the finding
was opposed to the overwhelming
weight of the evidence"

FOUR THOUSAND SEE
MAS0NS PLAY BALL
Harmony Lodge Is Thought to
Have Lost Game by About
5 Runs to ID.

Although there were 1000 spectators
besides the official scorer to see the
Masonic teams play for the benefit OF
the Masonic and Eastern Star homes,
there is today some question as to the
exact score; but 1t is thought that the
ALL Masonic nine won from the Harmony
Lodge by something like II to 5. The
players seemed to inject everything into
the contest TO please the throng and
when they fell short OF parlor tricks,
they played a little baseball.
Vice President Marshall led official
and Masonic Washington in the cheer
ing and at his heels were folks prom
inent in all walks OF life who were in
sympathy with the cause for which the
game was staged. Also, there was that
Kallipolis Grotto NJ. o. V. p. E. X. band
which lent its thrilling notes between
innings. also furnishing the overture and
tho finale.
Baseball was really a secondary prop
osition, but the formalities OF nine full
innings was zone through with. Just
what those nine innings were full OF

the game got their moneys worth and

Babe Ruth and Shore
Are Promising Hurlers

Jack Dunn, owner OF the Baltimore
Orioles. has two great pitchers in Babe
Ruth and Shore. Shore only Joined the
Birds a few weeks ago. and Dunn be-
lieves that he is one of the best youn-
sters that ever broke into the Inter-
national League.
"Shore Is my ideal OF a pitcher" said
Dunn the other day at the meeting CT
the national commission He has n
terrific amount OF speed and almost per
feet control Of the ball"
Ben Egan. one of the Birds catchers,
said that Shore has more speed than
any other pitcher he ever caught.
The youngster was once member of
tho Giants. Dunn got him from the
Greensboro team by draft Shore was
given permission to finish his course
at college by the owner of the Birds.
Babe Ruth, the other star hurler of
the Orioles. will probably be a MEM
ber Of the Athletics next year. 1t is
said that Connie Mack is part owner
Of the Orioles and will take the young
eter next year.
