WILSON, WAR AND PEACE
Under the leadership Of Roosevelt
the Jngoes have been trying to force
us into war. Under the leadership Of
Bryan and others, the peace-at-any-
price paciists have been trying to
keep us out of it. Bryan's policy
drove us to the verge of war when
he was secretary of state. His extreme
policy would have played us into the
hands Of the jingQes. They were
ready to spring a war move in con-
gress after Villas raid on Columbus,
N. NJ. By shooting the Pershing ex-
petition across the border quickly
Wilson outplayed the jingoes and
headed off that war move in con-
gress. And he prevented war with
Mexico. Had he kept quiet when Ger
many pulled back her promise to let
up on submarine frightfulness-had
he written another note-the answer
to Germany would have been a dec
laration of war by congress, spurred
to action by the munition makers
and a jingO press. When Wilson
handed Won Bernstorff his passports
he kept the door open for peace. He
did it in a friendly way, yet made it
plain that any violation of interna-
tionaI law meant that he would be
forced to take the next step-which
was war The door is still open.
Wilson is still playing for peace. He

his own suggestion, he was taken to
the State penitentiary for safekeep-
ing. Unaware he was brought to
Orangeburg today and no large
crowd was in attendance upon court
when he was placed in the dock. I'M

ton.

PONCE DE LEON VISITS FLORIDA
He's a Descendant, However, Not the
Original Pursuer Of Youth.

Ponce de Leon has returned to
Florida.
He is not here to search for the
fountain Of perennial youth, but to
walk the streets of St. Augustine,
Pensacola and other cities whose
foundations are closely connected
with the old Spanish days; neither
is he here by favor of royalty, but
on his own initiative to assemble the
history of his historic name in a book
he is writing.
To be more explicit, his name is
A. de Vera Y. Ponce de Leon, and
his titles are the Marquis of Estrella
la Alta and the Count of Cardenas.
He is subject of the Spanish crown,
and the only living descendant of the
discoverer of Florida in the United
States today
The ancestry of the Count of Car
denas is a famous one Besides his
direct descent from Ponce de Leon,
his family is related to that of Chris
topher Columbus. His family, also,
was related to that of St. Ignatius Of
Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order.
The Count of Cardenas was born
in Spain. His family fortunes were
lost in the civil wars and when 16
years old he went to Mexico to carve
out new fortune for himself. He
had accumulated property worth
$4,000, including two ranches and a
tobacco factory, when the Mexican
trouble began. Villa drove him out
just a little more than two months
ago.
All that the Count of Cardenas
saved from the wreck Of his fortunes
in Mexico was his portfolio of family
papers. which he has here with him
They are of great antiquity, dating
back to the thirteenth and fourteenth
! centuries One of these which is
| most interesting to Florida people is
an original autograph document con,
ferring upon Don Lope de Cardenas y
Ponce de Leon the title of Knight OF
the Very Noble Order of Alcantra in
appreciation for his services as foun,
der of the city of Pensacola. This
letter was signed by Charles II Of
Spain. in.-Jacksonville Times-Union.

kentucky Governor Defies Mob.

Murray, KY, Jan. 11.-Governor
A. o. Stanley, of Kentucky, who made
a hurried trip here on special train
to quiet a mob threatening to lynch
Circuit Judge Charles Bush and Com
monwealth Attorney Smith for fail
ing to hand over negro accused of
numbering a policeman, arrived at
daybreak and Immediately took
charge of the guards surrounding
Judge Bush and Attorney Smith in a
local hotel.
Governor Stanley sent word to the
leaders of the mob that he was de-
termined to prevent the lynching of
another negro in Kentucky even at
the risk of his own life.
Il intend to see to it that Lube
Martin is given a fair trial at any
COST" said the governor.
Governor Stanley telephoned the
Paducah authorities instructing them
to disregard the judges order and TO
hold the negro in Paducah.
A few hours after his arrival the
governor seemed to have the situa-
ton we'll in hand Posses of citl-
zens were formed at Princeton and
Hopkinsville and were about to start
for Murray to protect Judge Bush
and Smith. The governor ordered
them not to come, and sent word to
Paducah that the negro should be
held there indefinitely.
Lube Martin is the negro wanted
by the mob. When brought before
Judge Bush, charged with the muir
der of Guthrie Duiguid, white man,
Martin was granted a continuance
and then rushed to Jail at Paducah.
A mob formed quickly bent on
lynching the negro, but learned that
he had been spirited away. The mob
then surrounded the hotel in which
Judge Bush and Smith had taken
refuge and threatened to dynamite
the building unless Bush signed an
order for Martins return to Murray.
Judge Bush, it is understood, sign
ed the order and then sent an appeal
to Governor Stanley for help.

EXPLOSIONS WRECK PLANT.
Tons of Shells for SlavS are Exploded
Like Big CannOnade.

New York, Jan. 11.-The plant Of
the Canadian Car and Foundry COM
pany. one-half mile east of Kings
land, \. j.. in which were stored hun
dreds of tons of three-inch shells des-
tined for the Russian government.
was destroyed today By fire and Sc
ries of explosions, which continued
for three hours. So far as could be
learned tonight, no one was killed or
injured, although seventeen work
men were reported missing. No es-
innate of the loss was obtainable,
but it was said it might reach s4.-
100000.
Approximately 400 men were en-
ployed in the plant, which comprised
between forty and fifty buildings and
covered about eighty acres of ground.
No munitions were manufactured at
Kingsland, but the plant was used for
the filling of shells, the chief con-
stituent used being trinitrotoluol, one
of the most powerful explosives
known.
Danger Modified.
While it was estimated that nearly
100000 shells exploded, primary
fuses or caps had not been attached
to them and consequently their deto-
nation did not cause the havoc that
follows their explosion when used on
European battle front The roar of
the shells, which sounded like a can
nonade from heavy guns, was heard
for miles, however, and the concus-
sions shook buildings within a wide
radius of the plant.
Two big magazines in which were
stored trinitrotoluol, nitric acid, pic
ric acid and powder were not reached
by the flames and it was believed to-
night that they were not in danger.
Filled With Refugees.
Kingsland, Rutherford and other
places nearby were filled tonight with
refugees who had fed from their
homes in the vicinity of the plant. A
dozen persons were arrested at Kings
land on charges of petit larceny, and
orders were issued by Sheriff Courier,
of Bergen county, to the guards sent
out by him in all dirtctions to shoot
looters. Thomas ]. Huckin, county
prosecutor, and his assistants began
tonight an investigation to fix re-
sponsibility for the disaster. 1t was
said at the Offices of the Canadian
Car and Foundry company that their
inquiry had not been completed and
that no statement would be issued
until tomorrow. A theory was that
crossed wires started the fire.
The fire, which began at $3.50 p.
m, still was smouldering late today
in the ruins. Shells exploded almost
continuously until 1880 o'clock, but
after that hour the detonations were
only intermittent.
