TELLS WHY u. S.
CHOSE CARRANZA

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Sen
ate this afternoon received from the
State Department all its data On the
Mexican situation. The communica-
ton will be printed in the public rec
ord.
The data was contained in a let
ter from Secretary Lansing to the
President, which he inclosed.
1t showed that a total of 165 Amer
leans lost their lives in Mexico or
on the border from 1910 to 1915.
Seventy-six of these were killed in
Mexico from 1912 to 1915, not in
Guiding 26 civilians and 16 soldiers
killed on the American side of the
border during the same period.
The documents relating to CORE
s%pondence between the Brazilian Min
ister to the State Department and
between American consular officials
and the Department, which were spe-
officially asked for in the Fall resolu-
ton, were suppressed as being in
compatible with the public interest"
ut can not be said that the de
facto government in Mexico is a con-
stitutional government" says Secre-
tary Lansing's letter. ut is, as are
most revolutionary governments, mil
itary in character"
Explaining this Governments re-
cognition of Carranza, the letter sets
out there twas no central organlza-
ton" in the Villa forces. The loyalty
of the Carranzistas to their cause, it
was declared, indicated ultimate
triumph.
Conditions in Mexico are now rap
idly becoming normal, according to
the letter.
Secretary Lansing declared that he
had information that the European
governments will recognize the Car
rama government.
The Presidents letter accompany
ing the matter was read in the Sen
ate. 1t simply Endorsed Secretary
Lansing's statements. Senator Stone
then moved that the entire matter
be printed as a public record.
Senator Fall criticised the docu-
ments submitted by the White
House. -,
"This is a lot of inconsequential
stuff calculated to scatter the fire OF
those who would criticise the Presl-
dents Mexican policy" he said: ut
was about what l expected. | did not
think the Administration had the
nerve to make public the communica-
tons passing between the State De-
partment and the Brazilian Minister.
The Administration is evidently try
ing to create the impression that con-
diIions are normal in Mexico"

vEGGMAN CAUGHT WHILE
TRYING TO ROB SAFE

On a charge of housebreaking and
larceny, A. L. Williams, the yeggman
who was caught while attempting to
rob the safe of the Habenicht-Mc-
Dougal Co., early Wednesday morn
ing, was on Thursday morning given
a preliminary hearing before Police
Recorder William P. Etchison, and
held for trial at the next term OF
court of general sessions for Rich
land county Three crimes are IN
volved in the charge-the entering
and robbing of the Kenny and Bruins
& Little stores and the Habenlcht-
McDougal store where he was caught.
Williams was surrounded by IS po-
licemen and nabbed before he had
succeeded in cutting his way through
the inner walls of the safe which ne
had pushed from the office in the
main building to the annex in the
rear which was used as a machine
and repair shop.
The recorder placed Williams bond
at $4,000; one-half that sum being
for his appearance for trial on a
charge of entering the sporting goods
store of Observation-Disclosures Co.,
md $500 in each of the other two
cases. =,
When he was arraigned, Williams
was informed by the recorder that no
statement would be required OF MN
ut the preliminary and the man with
bowed head said in a quiet way tnat
he had nothing to say except that ne
would not have been guilty OF n
crimes had he not been drinking at
the time.
Chief of Police Richardson is con.
tinuing his investigation of Williams
past, having received some clues
which he declined to divulge at this
time, showing certain places where
Williams had stayed before coming
TO Columbia a few days ago. Chlef
| Richardson said that the indications
are that the prisoners story of a wife
and two children was correct as Ger
tain information had come to the Ell
feet that the members of the family
we're living in Asheville.
Asked whether he had been able to
find out where Williams had obtain
ed the S168 found on him, Chief
Richardson said he did not deem it
advisable to discuss the matter at
this time; but he intimated that he
had succeeded in developing definite
information concerning the prisoner
and some of his movements in the
recent past.
The sensational arrest of Williams
while engaged in the third of a series
of crimes in a few minutes of one
another was the talk of the city yes
terday and every available detail of
the case was followed with interest

MANNING is PLEASED.

Gov. Manning last night made the
following statement in reference to
the action of the sinking fund COM
mission in the sale of the brown con-
sol bonds. He is chairman of the
sinking fund commission.
GAS the governor of the State, and
as a business man and taxpayer, L
am very much gratifed that the sink
ing fund commission has been able
to make such an advantageous sale
of the bonds, the proceeds of which
are to be used for the redemption OF
the brown consol bonds and stocks,
approximating S4,800,0O0, and saw
ing to the taxpayers of South Caro-
lima approximately $4,000 per year,
in addition to placing about $780,
900 on the tax books, that has been
exempt from taxation in the past.
"The bid accepted provides for the
payment, at par and accrued interest
to date, and in addition to this, a pre-
MUM of S2O,O16. The new bonds
bear 4 per cent. interest, whereas
the old bonds to be redeemed by
these new ones bore a IL per cent.
interest. 49,.
"The act of 1912 authorizing this
action of the sinking fund commits
sion, authorized the sinking fund com
mission to offer and pay a commits
sion to parties placing said bonds and
stocks, of not exceeding $4,000. The
sinking fund commission has not paid
or promised to pay, one dollar as
commission on this transaction. This
is another saving of $4,000: IN
other words, the action of. the sinking
fund commission, by a UNANIMOUS
vote, will save the taxpayers 100000
authorized for commissions, ap-
prox!mately $4,000 per year for in
~terest, and will place $1,5Oo,oOC on
the tax books. This, to my mind, is
a splendid service to the State, and
clearly shows that the credit of old
South Carolina is still good in the
money markets of the world.'

GOV. HATFIELD
FOR SUFFRAGE

< l have supreme confidence in the
ability Of q woman to contribute her
share to the wise determination of
questions that affect the most import
ant relations of life. l am convinced
that ON all great moral issues the
votes OF the women in overwhelming
majority will he cast on the side Of
right.
Have they not the same right to
exercise all of the rights and privi
leges that we enjoy, the right of a
voice to decide great principles which
have to do with the destiny of our
government?
1t is a woman's right and it would
be to her advantage to make her opin
ion felt by her vote. Even the
chivalry of q West Virginia Legisla-
ture is slow to heed the requests of
the voteless woman. She has asked
in vain for a law recognizing the
mother as joint guardian of her child
She still asks for 3 better child labor
law and for laws protecting her hours
Of labor and wages. In my expert
ence both as lawmaker and governor
Of the State. l have learned to ap
preciate the fact that women need
the ballot and the ballot needs the
women. The splendid record made
by the women in organizing the State
for the vote on the prohibition
amendment is a prophesy Of what
they may be able to accomplish in
the political field in other great
movements that make for the uplift
pf humanity. Equipped with the bal
lot, their power in such directions
will be greatly augmented.
