PEOPLE FAVOR WILLIAMS.
Everybody Believes. According to
Owen, That Munsey Trust Course
Is Beyond ReprOach.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The senate
banking and currency committee con-
cluded hearings today into the NOM
ination by the president of John Skel-
ton Williams, assistant secretary of
the treasury, to be comptroller of the
currency and eX-officio member of
the federal reserve board. Final ac-
tion will be taken tomorrow. Hear
ings continued today on the action Of
Mr.. Williams in connection with the
deposit of government funds in the
Munsey Trust company of Washing
ton when that institution recently
took over the United States Trust
company to avert failure.
THE testimony of every one" said
Senator Owen, chairman of the COM
mittee, tonight, has been convincing
that the action of Mr.. Williams in the
Munsey Trust case was right and nec-
essary. The committee will vote to-
morrow to report his nomination ia

RESIDENTS FLEE TO HILL

Water Ruslies Down Potomac.

Cumberland Mr., Jan. 15.--Hud-
died in rude shacks and about blazing
camp fires, hundreds Of food refugees
tonight watched and waited in West
Virginia while the northern branch
of the Potomac river, swollen to an
icy flood. swept through their homes
in the towns that dot the valley be-
low
A wall OF water, starting from the
broken dam of the West Virginia
Pulp and Paper company at Stoney
Creek, moved down to the Potomac,
inundated the town of Schell, w. Va,
where the two streams meet and
started a flood wave, laden with
wreckage and ice, down the Potomac
valley.
Warnings Of the approaching flood
sent the residents of small towns
along the river scurrying to safety in
the hills, where tonight from vantage
points they peered through the dark
ness in an icy gale toward the swollen
waters below.
Telegraph and telephone communi-
cation was cut off by the flood during
the day, but was reestablished to-
night. Rumors Of several men
caught at Shaw, W. Va, 20 miles
from Schell, which could not be con-
firmed, were the only reports of cas-
ualties attending the flood. The food
warning enptied the town Of Shaw
and sent many residents of Blaine
Harrison, Kitzmiller and other small
places hurrying to the ridges. Fear
that the water might rise still further
prevented many refugees from re-
turning to their homes, even in towns
where little damage was done.
The flood wave apparently expend-
ed its energy in a mad 20-mile dash

IL was, owned by the West Virginia
Pulp and Paper company as a right
Of way and watershed.
The big dam, which impounded a
lake Of water five miles long and
which was 65 feet high. had been
weakened for several days. Last night
it began to crumble and a farmer
from the mountain village Of Mt.
Storm rode down the valley warning
the few inhabitants of the impending
break. "A part of the big structure
gave way early today and at noon the
sweeping waters carried away the

The burden OF proof is on the man
ager. His task is dOubly difficult be-
cause the rules allow a man to enroll
his name up to five days before the
primary, in q precinct where he does
not reside. and in as many precincts
as he likes. He may move into the
township on the cath. have his name
put on the poll list by a third party
and vote in the latter town on the
3Oth.
The law should be to enroll in per-
son. in only one precinct, and that
the one in which the man resides or
works; and the voter should be given
a card by his club officer, where he
enrolls, to be shown at the polls.
This card to have his full name and
address, and number all to CORE
spond with the club list. Upon vot-
ing. corner OF the card. or a coupon
attached to it. should be torn off SO
that it could not be used twice.
Provision should be made for issu-
ing duplicates where a card is lost,
and for transferring a voter from one
precinct to another when he changes
his residence.
These cards would be issued to ev-
cry Democrat now entitled to vote
who could show his residence in the
state and county. and precinct the re-
quired length of time.
In Conclusion.
Here are outlined changes i'm our
present system, not a new system.
Only outlines are given. Discussion
of details would take more space than
these articles can claim. But they are
designed to carry out these general
ideas. No attempt is here made to
take the ballot from any class. Hon
esty Is the aim of the changes-not
disfranchisement.
Whether wisely or foolishly, South
Carolina has long since established
the purest OF Democracies. Such
movements do not go backward. Uni
versal white manhood suffrage once
secured will never be relinquished.
But it may be thwarted and crippled,
and cheated IL it does not protect it,
self from carelessness and corruption
by strong and we'll considered laws.

upon Schell. There the roadbed of
