AMERICAN DEMAND RENEWED
IN NEW NOTE TO AUSTRIA
United States Contends Official Admis-
sion Liner was TOrpedOed While
Passengers on Board Sufficient.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The United
States contends, in it's second note to
Austria on the Anaconda case, made
public mere today, that the official ad-
mission of the Austrian admiralty that
the liner was torpedoed after she had
stopped and while passengers were
aboard, alone is sufficient for the Am
erican demand for disaVowal, repara-
ton and punishment of the submarine
commander.
The note renews the demands Of the
United States and says the details TO
which Austria referred in its reply to
the first note are in no way essential
to the discussion. 1t emphasizes the
continuance of good relations depends
upon the action of the Austrian gov
ernment.
Cable dispatches indicate that the
note already has been delivered to the
austrian foreign Office.

This from the States paragrapner,
and l am quoting it for the quotation
it contains, and to add line to it by
way OF one or two other quotations.
l have often. used the same quotation,
but it is so good and true that it can
scarcely be quoted too often:
Here is a little quotation we try to
remember to print every Christmas
tide, because. We believe it does good
every time it sees the light, and we
know few things as appropriate to the
season: I expect to pass through this
world but once. Any good, therefore,
that l can do, or any kindness that
can show to any fellow creature, le!
me do it now. Let me not defer or
neglect it, for l shall not pass this
way again. .
And to which let me supplement by
quoting the last two lines of that beau
tiful little poem, Growing Old":
Thrice happy, tnen, if some soul can
say,
I have lived because he has passed
my way"
And let us remember as we pass
along this way and throw our brick
bats and reserve our bouquets, that
it would be so much better for us and
our fellows if we would only throw
some of the roses along the way as
We travelled, and our friends could

VILLAS ARMY YIELDS
TO De FACTO RULER
LEADER, HOWEVER, DISAPPEARS
WITH 400 MEN.
Generals Agree to Turn Over Entire
Organization Under Authorization
OF Former Bandit Chieftain.

FL Faso, Dec. 20.-Although num-
Der OF his generals have entered in
peace negotiations with the defacto
government Of Mexico, Gen. Francisco
Villa was reported tonight to have
gathered 400 armed men somewhere
in the State of Chihuahua to oppose
his former organization.
The Carranza de facto government
is in official control of the former Villa
State of Chihuahua by virtue of an
agreement reached by eGn. Roberto
Limon, Gen. Manuel Banda, Lieut.. Col.
Flaviano Paliza and Col Eduardo An
dalon and Andreas Garcia of the Car
rama consulate here, by which about
1000 troops and the organization OF
the Villa government, including the
cities of Juarez and Chihuahua and all
border points, accept Carranza dom
ination. The agreement grants am
nesty to all except Gen. Villa and his
brother, Hipolito
The generals entered into confer
ence yesterday as delegates from Gen.
Villa to confer with Mr. Garcia upon
plans to turn over the entire territory
and all troops and arms and for him
self to leave the capital without any
following.
They reported the result Of their
conference last night to Gen. Villa at
Chihuahua City.
Late today they had received no re-
ply from Gen. Villa, and instead
learned that after receiving their ad-
vices Gen. Villa gathered 400 men and
left Chihuahua City and that his
whereabouts were unknown.
Upon opening the conference with
the Carranza consul Today, the Villa
generals announced they would pro-
ceed on the unrescinded authorization
as given by Gen. Villa They said they
believed Tflla feared that the dele
gates would not be able to gain him
immunity from prosecution should he
cross the international line.
The surrender of the Villa organ1za-
ton includes most of his army, about
nar cent of the rolling stock of the
roalroads, of Mexico and the State Of
Chihuahua, the richest mining and live
stock district of Mexico.
According to officials here, the for
eign interests in Villa controlled ter
ritory have suffered a loss estimated at
$4,000, 900 due to confscation and al
legged thefts of ore, cattle and other
property and depreciation of Villa cur
rencv. These officials charge that
churches were stripped of their treas
ures. banks looted of coin and specie
and confscated goods given away TO
satisfy people ruined by lack OF en-
ployment and depreciation of Villa
currency.
Col. Hipolito Villa, with the Office
force of the financial agency OF the
Villa organization at Juarez, crossed
into the United States here tonight.
Efforts to locate Francisco Villa were
unavailing, although a report was cur
rent tIlat he, too, had crossed to the
American side and was hiding in the
outskirts of the city.

GOVERNORS POWER
NOT SO EXTENSIVE
HIGHEST TRIBUNAL ORDERS KER.
SHAW SHERIFF REINST4TED.
OpinOin Holds That Executives Action
in Removing Officer Was With
out Authority of Law.

The State.
Holding that the legislature was
without power to authorize the indef-
mite suspension of sheriff for neglect
of official duty, the supreme court in
a unanimous decision yesterday or
dered the reinstatement of W. w.
Huckabee as shriff of Kershaw county.
Mr.. Huckabee was suspended several
months ago by Governor Manning on
the charge that he had refused to en-
force tine whiskey laws. Isaac c..
Hough was appointed to succeed Mr..
Huckabee by Governor Manning.
'The result is that the governor" "
concludes the opinion, "had no power
to suspend or remove the petitioner or
to appoint the defendant in his place.
"The judgment of this court is that
the attempted suspension of the petit
toner and the appointment of the de-
fendant, Hough, in his place were
without authority of law and of no
effect, and that the petitioner is en-
titled to exercise the duties of his Office
of sheriff of Kershaw county.
The opinion was written by Asso
ciate Justice Hydrick and concurred
in by the other four justices Of the
court
The decision in full follows:
1.-The petitioner, w. W. Huckaibee,
was elected sheriff of Kershaw county
at the general election on November
5, 1912, and was commissioned on
Jan. /, 1918, for a term of four years.
On April 20, 1915, after notice and a
hearing, his excellency, the governor,
found, from the evidence adduced al
the hearing, that said sheriff had neg
Iected and refused to enforce the law
regulating the sale Of intoxicating
LIQUORS in his county, and suspended
him from Office, until the end Of his
present term.
ION June 25, 1915, the governor ap-
pointed and commissioned the defend
ant, Hough, as sheriff of said county.
in place of petitioner. This action
was brought to test the legality Of
Huckabee's suspension, as we'll as the
right of Hough to perform the duties
~ +ba ofHoo
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1915-12-24
No Power Given.

'The action of the governor was
based on section S41 of the criminal
code. which reads: Any constable,
deputy constable, sheriff or magistrate
who shall neglect or refuse to perform
the duties required by this chapter,
shall be subject to suspension by the
governor Petitioner contends that in
so far as this section confers upon
the governor power to suspend a
sheriff it is unconstitutional If that be
so the suspension was without au-
thority of law and can not be sus-
tained, unless it ctn be conferred to
some other power vested in the chief
executive.
"The Office of sheriff was created by
he constitution, which provides (arti-
e 5, section 3O) that the qualified
ectors of eech county shall elect a
eriff for term Of four
Ars etc. When the constitution Gre
an Office and fixes the term there
cd prescribes the mode of filing it,
LEGISLATURE is without power to
ksh the Office, or vary the term
hereof, or prescribe a different mode
rof filling it, or remove or suspend the
officer, unless authority for such &C
ton can be found in the constitution.

quent Importance Of providing therein
for the removal and suspension of un-
faithful officers. 1t is equally certain
that they had in mind the material
