HURLED CLASP KNIFE
Incident Of Roosevelt,s Visit to Kan
sas. City Yesterday

/. Kansas City, May s1-An incident
Of little consequence in itself, but one
that served to make the police guard
~ even more strict, occurred shortly
sfter the Roosevelt automobile left
the railway station yesterday.
Mr.. Roosevelt was standing bow
mo in his car. Ernest co. Shell, a
member of the American'Legion, was
walking by the side of the car as a
part of the escort. He heard some
thing strike the footboard Of the car
and an open iackknife fell at his feet
He picked it up and looked quickly
into the crowd.
He fancied the knife came from a
tall man. with brown suit and stra"
hat who stood on the curb.
Shell handed the knife to a police
man and suggested an arrest be made

fancied the act was that of a drunken
man.
The knife had wooden handle and
one blade. No report OF the incl

quarters late this afternoon.
Mr.. McGrath, Col. Roosevelt's Sec

him, leaning forward to maintain a
balance while the machine was IN
motion.
The butt of the knife struck Nc
Grath's arm below the elbow. 1t was
not thrown with sufficient force to
bruise his arm, he said. He said the
blade was about three inches long
but that the knife was of a cheap
grade, and was not of enough weight
to have injured him severely had the
blade, instead of the butt, struck

Berlin, May S1-six men were lost
in the attack by submarine on the,
German steamer Kolga, sunk inFthe

upon which the steamer Immediately
stopped.
notwithstanding this, one minute
later a second shot was fred, which
destroyed the bridge. The crew, only
half clad, rushed for the ifeboats
while the captain ran into the cabin in
an effort to rescue the ships papers.
"The submarine fired two more
shots, both of which struck the steam
err. One sailor was wounded. I'm.
mediately afterward came a torpedo,
although it could be clearly observ-
ed from the submarine that the crew
was about to launch the lifeboats.
| The torpedo caused the steamer to
/ sink Immediately, the captain, both
the helmsmen, the cook and two sail
ors perishing.
"The enemy submarine opened fire
i without warning and continued firing
/ in spite of the immediate stopping of
the steamer. Furthermore, the torpe'
do was fired as the crew was about
to enter the lifeboats, so that six out
of nineteen sailors lost their lives. "

STATE WAREHOUSE BOOKS in PERFECT CONDITION.
State Auditor Reports to Governor Manning Result of
Examination of State Commission.

have been paid in aggregating con-
siderably over 100000, whereas
losses incurred have amounted to
only $1,197, indicating care IN keep
ing down Over-insurance and further
that although rates have been very
much reduced under the present plan
Of insurance, there is room for still
further reduction in rates."
Following are the comments and
recommendations submitted to the
governor:
"At the beginning of our investi-
cation the warehouse commissioner
requested us to examine every de-
tail of this system of bookkeeping,
to make such recommendation as in
our opinion would contribute to thor
oughness and economy in the admin
istration of its affairs.
"While we heartily endorse the
present plan of insurance, we believe
that as soon as conditions will war
rant, the maximum liability, without
notice, on individual warehouses,
should be raisesd to something like
one hundred thousand dollars. This
would eliminate much trouble and
some risk in carrying extra concur
rent insurance.
1--WE recommend a stricter enforce
ment of the rules of the system in
taking in new warehouses. The field
agent should not take in any ware
house without actually counting the
cotton and having report, by num-
bers, of the bales stored. In case of
transfer from one warehouses to an
Der of the bales transferred should
be filed with the state commissioner
and carried OH his books, just as
Cancelled certificates are carried.
"We recommend more vigilance in
the collection of storage charges on
cotton that has been delivered. While
we believe that all storage in arrears
will ultimately be collected, much
troublt and perhaps some litigation
can be avoided by requiring monthly
payments of storage for cotton de-
livered by local warehouses;"
The field agent whose activities are
somewhat criticised is Mr. J. G. l..
White, of Chester, deputy state ware
house commissioner. Mr.. White is
president Of the Chester County
Farmers warehouse, which is not in
the state system, and he has also
been criticised by others In this re-
gard.
The report of the expert account
ants, who examined the office of Com
missioner McLaurin, by direction of
Governor Manning, at the request of
the commissioner, shows the ware
house system to be in fine shape
The question can sustain itself as a
mere plan for the storage of cotton
and the borrowing of money thereon,
but the agitation of direct sales of
cotton from state warehouses to spin
ners, and of the purchase of central
home and compress for the system,
will be before the coming legislature.

TRAGIC FATE OVERTAKES
WALTERBORO YOUNG MAN
Joe Glover Killed by His Own Gun
While Shooting on the Ashepoo
River.

Walterboro, Nov. 27.-The entire
town was shocked this morning to
learn of the tragic death of Joe
Glover, young man of much prom
Use, yesterday in boat in the Ashe-
poo river, in the lower part of the
county. Mr.. Glover and a compan-
ion were on the river shooting, and it
appears that Mr.. Glover reached for
his gun, which was lying in the bot
tom of the boat. The gun went off
and the entire load took effect in the
head of Mr.. Glover, taking away a
large part Of his skull. He fell into
who was in the front part of the boat,
hearing the gun fire, loked around
and saw Mr.. Glover as he was fall
ing from the boat into the water
He then jumped into the water after
Mr.. Glover and by superhuman eff
fort was able to recover the body,
and brought it here last night. 1t
is thought that the gun fastened on
some obstruction in the boat, causing
it to fire. The news of the acci-
dent reached the young mans rela-
tives while they were at church here
and the shock completely Frustrated
them.
Mr.. Glover was about % years of
age and for the last few months had
been engaged IN the transfer bust
ness here. He was an energetic and
Industrious young men and had the
respect of all who knew him. Quiet
in his manners and strictly business
like, the news of his deaeh comes
as a shock to his circle Of friends.
Mr.. Glover was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. B. Glover, of this city, who
survive him, and he leaves several
brothers and sisters in this town and
elsewhere. His family is prominent
and is receiving the sympathy of
. large number Of friends.
