JOS. TOLBERT "PREPARED."
Ready to Resent Reflections on Re-
publican Committee Meeting.

Chicago, June 3.-Charges of bri-
berry and corruption brought tangi-
Bile evidence of real preparedness to
the attention Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee to-day The man
prepared" was National Committees
man Joseph Tolbert, Of South Caro-
lima, tall mountaineer.
robert made quick movement
toward his pistol pocket when
charges were made against him by
U. S. District Attorney John Philip
Hill, and only the quick action of
Reed Smoot, kept Tolbert from get
ting into action
The contest in which this incident
played so dramatic part was the
Fourth District Of South Carolina.
ihe seat Of delegate named Adams
was under contest
The opponents Of Adams DrOduc-
ed evidence that five delegates to the
district convention were called out of
that convention, and in the presence
OF other delegates paid from $1OO to
$500 each to change their votes. IT
was charged that the votes of these
purchased delegates elected Adams
delegate to the National Conven-
ton.
John Philip Hill was white with
rage when he arose to reply to the
charge. He declared that National
committeeman Tolbert had Framed
up this evidence, and he even used
the words "liar" and "crook." It
was then that the mountaineer ma
tional committeeman reached for his
gun.
Later Committeeman Warren, of
Michigan, objected to the way Hill
was conducting the case and Hill
turned to Warren and shouted:
Are you a member of this COM
mittee, or the paid attorney of that
crook?"
Again it took two committeeman
to hold the Southerner in his seat.
Hill was finally disbarred from
further appearance before the COM
mittee and the contesting Tolbert
delegates were seated.
CMr. Tolbert is now resident Of
Ninety-SiX, this State, at which place
he was at one time postmas;er.)
