RHODE ISLAND JUDGE KILLED.
Shot from Ambush by Parties Who
Escaped Arrest.

Providence, Il. l., Sept. 6.-Jus--
tice Willis S. Knowles, of the Eighth
Judicial District, was assassinatetB
just after he had left his bungalows.
in North Scituate to take trolley
for Providence to-day.
He received three bullet wounds.
two in the back and one in the Jaw.
The attack occurred about a HUNDREDS
yards from the house and apparently
the shots came from the bushes that.
lined the village road leading to the.
car line.
After having been wounded AZ:
least once, the justice turned back,
and nearly rcGained the gate oDcn-
ing into his place when he fell dead.
There were no witnesses, and the as
sassins escaped. Later the police de-
tanned two men on suspicion. They
are Italian labOrers, and according t<p
the police one Of them carried a load
ed revolver.
The police subsequently eXonerated
the two Italians, and this afternoons
they were looking up a man who was
once taken into custody at the insti-
cation Of Justice Knowles. who al,
legged that the man had threateneG
his life.
The body was found by Knowles
housekeeper, Mrs. Warddell, who, ra1y
from the house when she heard the.
shots. AS she reached the lawn she!
heard a mans voice with foreigrs
accent cry: Now, Judge, I've got
you!" She saw no one, but thought
the voice came from the shrubDery,.
Justice Knowles was 4S years oIos
and unmarried. His legal residence.
was at Cranston. His office was, irs
Providence.
The police are proceeding on the,
theory that he was killed in revenge,
by some litigant against whom he,
had given a decision. tE4}s-. SsS
Justice Knowles was born in Hook
import, Athens county, Ohio.

NO PEACE MOVE AT PRESENT.
Uncle Sam Ready to Act, However
at Proper Moment.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The United
States will make no further efforts
to bring about peace in Europe until
it has received information that it's
good offices will be welcomed by both
sides Of the conflict. This was said
authoritatively here to-day in official
discussions Of the message from Pope
Benedict, delivered to President Will
son by Cardinal Gibbons.
From the fact that the vatican is
in close touch with Austria the con-
struction placed by officials on the
DODe's message is that the Germanic
powers would be willing to discuss
peace at this time. 1t was stated by
those in closest touch with the ad-
ministration that similar word will
have to be received from Great Bri-
tain and her allies before the Presi-
dent will make any further move.
President Wilson has made It
clear several times that his original
offer of services to bring about peace
still stands and that he will do
everything possible to further the
movement. The United States,
however, will do nothing likely to
endanger its position as a friend to
all belligerents, it was said authori-
tatively.

SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY SEPT. s. 1915.
DIR. Is. S. LUCAS DIED SUNDAY.
Passed Away Peacefully at the Ad-
vanccd Age of 81 Years.

DR.. B. S. Lucas died in Walhalla
last Sunday morning about s o'clock
at the home of his son, e. r. Lucas,
on Faculty Hill. The aged gentle
man had been in declining health for
many months, and, though it was not
generally known that his condition
was worse during the few days pre-
ceding his passing away, still the
community was prepared to learn of
his death at any time, for it was
known that for months he had been
gradually nearing the time when the
final summons should come.
DR.. Lucas was native of Kershaw
county, in which section he spent the
greater portion of his long and USE
ful life. He was a successful physi-
clan, and for many years enjoyed an
extensive practice. Some ten years
ago, however, owing to advancing
years and impaired health he was
forced to retire from active practice.
During these years he spent much of
his time in Walhalla with his son,
and he made many warm personal
friends here.
At the outbreak of the Civil War
DR.. Lucas volunteered for service in
the Confederate army. He was mus
tered into the service on the 14th of
November, 1861, as captain Of Com
pany A, 7th Battalion, S. G. V. l., and
at the second battle of Cold Harbor,
on June 3, 1864, he was wounded,
losing his left arm in battle, the
member being shot away above the
elbow. From the field he was sent
to the hospital in Richmond, and he
received his honorable discharge
from service at the surrender. He
was a graduate Of the Citadel Acad-
emy and the Charleston Medical
College. ..y-+ssry,.,
Dr. Lucas was a staunch and. .faith4
full member of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, and was ever loyal in his
support Of the institutions of that
humble Christian. Goth by profession
and daily practice. his life eXemplify-
ing to marked degree ihe beauties
Of the Christian life.
The deceased is survived by two
sons, e. r. Lucas, Of Walhalla, and
DR.. II. G. Lucas, Of Columba; two
daughters, Mrs. T. J. Drew and Mrs.
w. R. Dargan, of Columbia. Three
brothers also SURVEYOR. II. e. Lu-
cas-. of Chesterfield, and S. D. Lucas
and Edward b. Lucas, os Kershaw
county His wife preceded him to
the grave some twelve years.
Sunday afternoon the remains
were taken to Hartsville for inter
ment. The funeral services were con-
Quoted there, followed by interment
in the family plot, where for several
generations members of the Lucas
family have been lowered to their
last, long rest. The body was accom-
panied from Walhalla by e. r. Lucas
and Mrs. T. c. Lucas, the latter hav-
ing been in the mountain sections of
this State and North Carolina, and
having returned through Walhalla
owing to the very critical condition
Of DR.. Lucas.

thy Of hosts of friends here and else
