CHARLESTON is QUIET;
TROOPS RULE STREETS
No Further Disorders Expected in
Connection With Contested
Election Case.

CHARLESTON, S. c., October 49,
Charleston was quiet today and with a
company Of state guardsmen on duty
at King and George streets and another
battalion at its armory ready for ac-
ton. it is not believed there will be
more disorder. The democratic exec
utive committee began quietly to canvass
the returns of the recent municipal
provided a military guard for the meet
ing.
1t was just before this committee was
to meet yesterday that shooting in the
committee room resulted in the death
OF Sidney j. Cohen. a newspaper re-
porter. the shooting of four men and
wounding of others.
Contest Over Mayoralty.
The committee today is expected to
decide whether Tristan T. Hyde, who
had majority of 10 out of more than
5000 votes cast. was nominated for
mayor or whether Mayor John P. Grace
was renominated. The Grace faction
has contested more than 100 votes.
Within half an hour after yester-
days shooting the Washington Light
tnIdnlry, with nxed DayOnetS, was
clearing the streets outside the build
ing where the shooting occurred, and
later four other companies were as
semb1ed at their armory for possible
duty
Militiamen patrolled the streets near
the scene of the shooting during the
night and were relieved by others to-
day. They reported no disorders.
Liquor Dispensaries Closed.
AS an additional precaution the
governor closed all dispensaries in
Charleston county. in which the city of
Charleston is situated, and ordered
eight companies of militia in nearby
towns to be prepared to come here If
needed.
Three ballet boxes thrown into the
street during the shooting were re-
covered shortly afterward without hav
ing been broken open, 1T was said.
OF six men arrested yesterday in
connection with the shooting, H. ].
Brown and L. r. Mcdonald were still
held by the police, but no formal
charges were brought against them.
The others finally were charged with
carrying concealed weapons, their
cases continued. and they were re-
leased on bond today.

Tammany Opposes Suffrage.

Tammany naturally does not look
with favor upon woman suffrage. as it
is against all Tammany traditions. al
though great many h-grade demo-
Gratis will personally support the
amendment. But the women cannot es-
cape realization that they will en-
counter a sullen undercurrent of oppo-
sition in the Tammany machine. They
hope at best to roll up as good a vote
as possible to reinforce the strength
they expect to obtain up state.
The town is beginning to take on
familiar precampaign atmosphere. and
though it is an off year there will be
plenty of excitement before 1t is over.
One thing the pendency of the woman
suffrage amendment did accomplish,
and that was to swell the registration.
The politicians became worried over
the vigor Of the suffrage campaign. and,
finding that the friends of suffrage
were registering almost solidly. they
sent out hurry call on last registra-
tion day for the delinQuents to get on
the registry books and ready for busi-
ness on election day in case a big turn
out should be needed. There is no ques-
ton that the campaign of the women has
stirred up the city. and there are in
dications that suffrage will make a
good showing of increase in the elec-
tiOn.

EYES
ON SHADOW Lawn
President Expected to Direct
Campaign Next Year From
Summer Home.

1 The political significance of Presi-
dent Wilson's acceptance of Shadow
Lawn" the magnificent seashore estate
| near Long Branch, N. j., has not es-
capped attention. From this beautiful
spot will really be directed the demo-
cratic presidential campaign of next
| year. The understanding is that the
| President will leave Washington early
! in the summer almost Immediately
| after Congress adjourns, for Shadow
| Lawn. The democratic national COM
| mittee will have its main headquarters
| in New York, with branch headquarters
| in Chicago. The President will be in
| close touch with the chairman of the
! national committee and with distin-
| guished politicians who make New
! York and Washington their rendezvous
! Statesmen and politicians of his party
| who desire to call on him will find his
| seashore place easily accessible. What
ever speechmaking campaign he con-
| cludes to indulge in will be from
| there.
| The acceptance of the summer home
lis regarded as absolutely settling any
suggestion that the President would
go through the country next year max
ling speeches. There never has been
much basis for the suggestion.
Intended Visiting Expositions.
| AS things look now he will be unable
Ito make his long contemplated trip
across the country at all. 1t had been
his intention to visit the two California
lexpositions this year and make
speeches as he journeyed to and from
1t would not be undignified for him to
40 this prior to presidential cam
paign, but he would not wish to go on
a stumping tour during a presidential
fight. The people of the west wanted
to see the President and invitations to
make stops flowed in from all direc-
ltions. The time was fixed for the trip
! to start just after Congress adjourned
| last March The European situation
began to overshadow and complicaee
things in this country and Mr.. Wilson
deferred the trip. He has never since
felt that he ought to leave Washington
for any length of time.
| 1t. is not expected that the President
will go west his bridal trip. He
already has indicated that he cannot go
across the continent. That journey
must be a quiet one, and SO the pros
| poets of Mr.. Wilson appearing among
| the people of the west for at least two
years appear to have vanished.
Mr.. Mckinley Set Example.
! 1t was President Mckinley who set
the example of making his home in
| Canton a mecca for the politicians dur
ing a presidential campaign. There he
received large numbers of callers, dele
cations of republican rooters and Or
ganizations. and responded to some Of
the speeches that were made to him re-
garding political conditions throughout
| the United States. There he conferred
frequently with Mark Hanna and they
planned the partys campaigns.
| The efforts of the President and the
democratic leaders in Congress will be
directed toward completing the legis-
next summer as possible. and it is now
| known that June Is is late as any
| of the democrats wish to be here. They
| will strive to complete their work by
June l.

ceived apparent confirmation from an
American arrival. who said he had been
SO informed by a railroad employe.

FAVOR RECOGNITION
Of GEN. CARRANzA
Pan-American Governments
Agree to Plan Devised
by Diplomats.
NOTICE TO GO IN FORM
OF NOTE TO FIRST CHIEF
Embargo on Arms to Go Into Effect
Against All Opposing
Factions.

Favorable responses have now
been received from all the pan
American governments whose
diplomatic representatives at
Washington participated in the
recent conferences with the
United States government on the
possibility of peace in Mexico and
the recognition of Carranza.
Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay and
Guatemala replied yesterday and
today favorable word from Brazil
and Chile on the recognition of
Carranza was received.
Each of the amba ssadors and minis
ters had reported to his government
the decision of last Saturdays confer
ence to recommend the recognition OF
Carranza, and the instructions received
from their governments by the diplo-
mats are in the nature of ratification,
authorizing the diplomats here to ar
range the extension of actual recogni-
tion.
To Revive Relations.
Inasmuch as some of the countries
still have diplomatic representatives in
Mexico, a renewal of relations in an
official manner can be arranged in
Mexico. The United States and several
other countries, however, have not had
diplomatic representatives for some
time in Mexico City, and recognition
probably will take the form of presen-
tation of note to Gen. Carranza
through the medium of Eliseo Are
donde, his representative here. who will
depart for Mexico to meet Gen. Car
rama.
With the presentation of such note
an embargo on arms would go into ef-
feet against opposing factions. and an
ambassador or charge d'affaires would
be sent as soon as a selection could be
made.
To Arrange Form of Recognition.
Recognition of the Carranza govern
ment in Mexico probably will be ex-
tended next week. The pan-American
peace conference will meet then to ar
range the form which recognition shall
take.
Eliseo Arredendo will be received by
the confereeS next week, when he
probably will be presented with a COM
munication notifying him of the recog-
milton of Carranza.
Hopes to Protect Smelling Company.
George C. Carothers. special agent of
the United States at Chihuahua. has
telegraphed the State Department that
he hopes to save from conf1scation the
property of the American Smelling and
Refining Company and other foreign
concerns in Chihuahua state against
which Villa is alleged to have made
threats. The company had asked gov
ernment aid in protecting the property.
Gen. Villa insists that the properties
shall be operated to give employment
to persons out of work.
Messages reaching the State Depart
ment today from Mr.. Carothers made no
mention of anything happening to Gen.
Villa, and it is assumed by officials here
that reports received today Of Gen. Villas
death are incorrect.

killed and many were injured to-
day when motor train No. 57o on
the Union Pacific railroad plunged

cred. Work of rescue then was aban-
doned until wrecking equipment could
lift the coach out of the water. Res

fed; dead up to noon. At that hour

washing out of the abutment of the
bridge across Fancy creek. AS result
of heavy rains last night the stream
was running bankfull The bridge
itself did not give way, but when the
heavy car struck the embankment it
sank end down into nine feet Of water

No Strict Party Division.

While it cannot be said that there is
a division on strict party lines against
the ratification of the proposed new
constitution. it is becoming evident
that Tammany democrats are in the
main hostile to it. For one reason,
perhaps, on the general principle Of
opposition to its chief sponsor and
reputed creator. Elihu Root. and all
his works.
The opposition of the labor vote is
set forth in President Gompers' state
ment. Some of the "high-b brow" dem
ocrats. notably Judge Alton b. Par
ker and men of his type. urge adop
tion of the constitution on the propo-
sition that it should not be rejected
in toto because of omissions that can
hereafter be corrected.
1t is said that the republican ma
chine is not being exerted to any nota-
Bile degree in support of the constitu-
tion and that the local leaders are
letting politics take their course with
out their aid. 1t is recognized that
there is no reason why the machine
should do anything out of the or

NATIONS PREPAREDNESS
HELD NON-PARTISAN ISSUE
Democrats and Republicans Alike in
Sympathy With Such a Stand
by Congress.

The determination of the administra-
tion, as evidenced by the President. to
support program for national pre-
paredness that will call for approprt-
ations ranging from s40O,O0o.o00 to
S430.ooU,Ooo, was received with ap-
proval by many members of the Sen
ate and House who were in Washing
ton today. They clearly indicated that,
while opposition was to be expected to
increased appropriations for the army
and navy, the sentiment throughout
the country had changed greatly in
recent months. and the people were in
favor of expending more money for de-
fenses of the country.
The opinion was expressed by demo-
Gratis and republicans alike that the
matter of preparedness should be
treated from a non-partisan stand by
Congress
The army appropriation bill has
struck up lightning rod, and wealth
erwise legislators say it is going to
attract storm the like of which
hasn't been seen along the coasts of
ten years is a mystery, but it means
that there will be the same terrific
fight on the army appropriation bill
only more. whole lot more.
Regardless of various utterances in
high places. those who know say that
the plans for sliding the one-hundred-
and wo-million dollar army ap-
preparation bill through Congress are
not complete. Representative Hay of
