WELLS MUST LEAVE
SERVICE OR ASSEMBLY
Brooklyn Leaders Believe He
Will Stay on Border.

Attorney General Woodbury. ruled
yesterday that Lieutenant Colonel Fred
erick A. Wells, of the 23d Regiment,
now on the Mexican border, must re-
sign from the Federal service within
forty-eight hours or become ineligible
for reelection as Assemblyman for the
18th Assembly District.
The state constitution provides that
no person shall be eligible to the Legis-
lature who within a hundred days has
been a civil or military officer OF the
United States. Tomorrow is the one
hundredth day prior to Election Day.
In the case OF Assemblyman George
Brennan, of the llth District, Brooklyn,
who is a corporal of the lst Cavalry, the
Attorney General held that a non-com-
missioned officer must be regarded as
an enlisted man.
In political circles it is the general
opinion that Mr.. Wells will not resign
from the service.

Soldiers Fear Trouble for
Aiding Girls in Relief Work
Three Guardsmen Accompanying Pretty Chorus Lasses
National Guard Field Day Mission Are Bothered
by Strange Orders to Report.

Is IL a breach Of military discipline
for Guardsmen to ride in the same car
with chorus girls?
Three bewildered soldiers from the
47th Regiment Armory. in Brookly1,
last night asked each other the ques-
ton. II was the only explanation they
could hit upon for having been halted
yesterday afternoon in the performance
of what they regarded as a very pleas
ant duty.
Accompanied by society leaders and
Winter Garden girls, Sergeant f. S.
Steele, Orderly N. King and Sergeant
f. f. Evers set out to sell tickets for
the National Guard Field Day, to be
held to-day at the Sheepshead Bay
Speedway. The task appealed to no
one more than to them. since the pro-
ceeds are to 60 toward the support OF
needy soldiers wives and children.
As the car in which they rode swung
away from the list armory. they were
halted by patrolman.
you are TO report to Captain
George NJ. Teats, captain of your regi-
ment." he said.
The three Guardsmen telephoned to
their armory and were told TO call up
from each precinct they went into. No
reason was given them. Thereafter as
they entered each new precinct, they
were stopped by patrolmen in a sim
liar manner and ordered TO report. No
explanation was offered.
Some one offered as a theory the
fact that Boy Scout in the car wore
a white carnation. II is against the
regulations for any soldier to wear
flower on his uniform, it was said, and
it was thought the Boy Scout might
have been mistaken for Guardsman
Mystery Puzzles Guardsmen.
There was much indignation in the
car. The women Of the party consld-
cred il unfair that any trouble
should come to the three soldiers, who
were so Loyalty helping them IN their
enterprise.

assure him they were doing nothing

MARSHALL WILLING TO RUN
FOR SECOND TERM

Portland. Ore, Feb. 10 Vice
President Marshall is willing to run
for a second term, according to a let
ter made public here today by Post
master Frank S. Myers, of Portland,
from Mark Thistlewaite, secretary to
the vice president.
Mr.. Myers wrote to the vice presl-
dent some time ago asking II ne
would permit the use of his name on

Replying to your letter, l am say
ing that the vice president will glad

Gratis want to renominate him, and
that he will gladly retire to private

man holding the office should be- rid

questing Democrats to vote for HIM
again.

for him, but if petitions are filed
for him, he certainly will not repudl-

LESS AND LESS.
WHISKEY SUPPLY is REDUCED
AGAIN.

Columbia, Feb. 9.-The senate to-
day reduced the amount of liquor
that may be imported into South Car
olina from one gallon a month to
two quarts.
The vote was decisive, being 26 for
reduction against Is to continue the
law in its present form.
The bill by Senator Werner to
prohibit the lending of money at
a higher rate of interest than that
provided by law received third read
ing and was ordered to the house for
confirmation. The drastic feature,
which would have cancelled the char
tiers of banks and other corporations
violating the law, was eliminated,
and a fine of twice the amount of
the interest involved or twice the
amount of the fee charged is to be
imposed instead.
Another bill relating to the lend
ing of money was also passed. This
is by the judiciary committee, to re-
lieve the banks or other money lend
ing corporations of usurious charges
when the borrower has agreed to pay
exhorbitant rates to an agent or at
torney of the corporation.

ARMOR TRUST
HIT BY T|LLMAN
UNITED STATES ROBBED is THE
CHARGE IN REPORT
OF COMMITTEE.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Senator
Ben Illlman, chairman of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee, today de-
llvered a vitriolic denunciation of the
armor plate manufacturers in a re-
port urging immediate passage of the
armor plate plant bill. The armor
plate companies, he said, were like
hlghwaymen in position to force the
Government to "stand and deliver"
The armor plate manufacturers
served notice Tuesday they would
force the Government to pay 5000
more ton for armor plate if Con-
gress passes the Government armor
plate plant bill. Tillman demanded
immediate passage of his armor plate
plant bill in order to minimize the op-
portunity of the armor plate compa-
nies to squeeze the Government into
spending $24,000,O0O more on its ma.
val building program for the next
five years.
"Monopoly of Worst Type"
There are only three manufac.
turers of armor in this country, and
the result is either a monopoly or a
combine of the worst type" declared
Senator Tillman. "The Government
is compelled to buy their products
because the law does not allow the
Secretary of the Navy to 20 out of
the country to buy it. The manufac-
turers have no fear of private COM
petition, for there is not sufficient
demand for armor to justify the en-
trance of other parties.
"As long as the present conditions
contiue the armor manufacturers are
in position to force the United
States Government, in the language
of the highwayman, to "stand and
deliver"
"It sufices to say" concluded the
report, "that the committee is of the
opinion that the Government has
been charged unreasonable prices
for its armor plate and that the only
remedy lies in the Government own
ing and operating a plant.
Rallies Support to Bill.
"Should the Government build it
and then lock it up, and it never be
used, it would be wise to erect it, as
it would serve as warning to pri-
vate manufacturers that there is
point beyond which the Government
will not be driven and where patience
ceases to be a virtue"
Seator Tillman to-day was rally
ing the enemies of private profits
from war to support his bill. AL
though few Democrats will oppose
the measure, the Senator expects to
secure enough votes from the Pro-
gressive-Republican faction to pass
| it. Senators Clapp and Poindexter,
Republicans, members of the Naval
Affairs Committee, voted to report
the bill favorably.. Senators Penrose,
Lodge and William Alden Smith, also
Republican members of the commit
tee, are preparing minority report
against the bill and promise to lead
a fight against its passage.

CITIZENS WANT
NEW COUNTY NOW
CITIZENS OF MCCORMICK ASK
LEGISLATURE TO ACT AT
ONCE.

Seventy citizens of the Mccormick
section appeared before the house
committee on privileges and elections
yesterday and urged that the bill pro-
viding for the establishment of Nc
Cormick county be passed at this ses-
sion of the general assembly. The
election was recently carried in favor
of the new county by large major
ity. The case has been appealed to
the supreme court by the opposition
following a decision by the State
board of canvassers that the election
had been legally held.
"The act will be effective or not,
depending upon the decision of the
court" says statement filed with
the committee. "No harm can come
to either of the counties by passing
the bill now. If the decision should
be in favor of the new county, then
it's formation will be legal and it will
begin its county functions at once. If
it is against the new county, then
that is an end of the matter.
"The new county project should
not be postponed one whole year, for
the court will before its spring term
decide the case and should the deci-
sion be favorable it would be an un-
necessary hardship to have to wait
so long. This is the general election
year and it is highly desirable that it
be formed, so that if it's existence is
declared legal, it can hold its cleo
tions along with all other counties
and thus elect its full quota of county
officials this fall. If it is not formed
for a whole year, then this will throw
all of it's elections in an off year and
all expenses attached thereto"
The new county is to be formed
from portions of Greenwood, Able
vile and Edgefeld counties.
