Washington, Feb. 20.-Secretary Of
State Lansing ana attorney General
Gregory today asked the senate judi
oiarv committee to pass Immediately
bill which would give the president
power to handle the present interna-
tiOnal situation without recourse to
war
The bill provides the president to
employ the land and naval forces of
the nation to 'enforce compliance with
and prevent violation Of. the obliea-
tions of the United States under the
laws of nations.
Briefly such law would mean that
the president could employ this coun-
try S army or navy in engaging in any
rade or commerce with any belligerent
country as long as international law,
as understood and agreed to by this
government was not violated by anv
such trade or commerce.
Some difference of opinion exists at
the capitol as to just how far such a
law would be held applicable in the
present situation.
Senators and representatives say that
since this government feels it is ga
matter OF obligation, TO keep its trade
open to any belligefent, that can profit
by such trade and commerce the bill
would mean that the president would be
vested with broadcast powers in keep
ing American ports open and in keep
ing American ships plying the seas
The bill urged by Lansing follows:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America, in congress assemb-
led that it shall be lawful for the pres
ident Of the United States and be is
hereby empowered to employ the land
and naval forces thereof to detain any
vessel, public or private, foreign OF
domestic, in order to enforce eompli-
ance with or to prevent the violation
Of the obligations of the United States
under the law of nations; and it shall
be lawful, and he is hereby further
empowered to employ such forces to
enforce any or all other obligations
imposed upon the United States by the
law of nations, by treaties or conven-
tions to which the United States is 8
party, or by the statues of the United
States
Within less than thirty minutes after
the fourteen espionage bills were acted
on and the one quoted above did moi
get through Secretary of State Lans
ing and Attorney General Gregory hur
ried to the capitol and went immedi
ately before the judiciary committee
The measure quoted was the object
of their visit, it was learned
Neither Secretary Lansing or the at
torney general would say this bill woulC
give the president the power he desire:
to handle the international situation
without going to war; nor would any
member of he judiciary committee dis
cuss the affair.
This bill was promulgated and stud
led by the judiciary committee along

were passed in the senate today Witt

Few men were more popular with Of
fieers and men of the ranks than the
short "fighting Fred" who died sud
denly last night. A prodigious worker,
army officials said today, his place will
be difficult one to fill. 1t was this
tirelessnes sin work and close applica-
ton to his duties that caused the gen
erals death. He had become greatly
weakened by the steady grind of details
Of the forces under him, but it was like
the fighting Kansan to make no com
plant and to stick out his work just the
same.
General Funston died suddenly at a
hotel here last night, few minutes
after he had finished dinner. He col
lapsed while seated IN the lobby Of the
hotel talking with friends, and was
playing with little Inez SilverbeTg, Of
Des Moines, Iowa, guest, with her pa
rents, at the hotel, when he fell uncon-
scious. Death was almost instantan-
eous. General Funston was 81 years
old.
Major General Pershing, just back
from Mexico, assumed temporary charge
of the southern department. today, in
place of his late chief.

THE CRUISER MILNAUKEE LOST
liz Efforts to Pull Submarine H.-s
or Of Beach.

Eureka, Cal, Jan. 14-The strand
ed cruiser Milwaukee, whose crew
was taken of safely last night, was
washed further towards shore near
mere to-day. AS the hufl continued
TO NIL with water hope OF salvaging
the vessel faded. The Milwaukee
was trying to pull the submarine
H-3 off the beach when tho cruiser
herself was swept ashore.
The paymaster Of the Milwaukee
returned to the ship this morning and
brought off $4,000. Personal ef-
fects Of the officers and men also
were removed to-day.
Preparations for salvage work
we're discontinued by Lieut.. VIM. s,
Newton, In command of the Milwau
kee, and j. NJ. Fraser and r. J. Por-
ter, heads of wrecking companies.
They boarded the cruiser and made
what examination was possible.
After his inspection of the wreck
fraser declared that the cruiser can
not be relocated. He said indications
are that the Milwaukee soon would
90 TO pieces. A temporary pier will
De built ont to the Milwaukee so that
ordnance, machinery and all other
movables can be taken off as quickly
as possible.
Work Of salyaging the submarine
was turned over to-day to a private
concern at contract price of $18,-
900.
Lieut.. Newton said the factors re-
sponsible for the Bleaching of the
Milwaukee were dense fog, strong
current and the drag OF the heavy
line attached to the H-3.
"The conduct Of the Milwaukee's
crew was splendid in every particu-
lar,' he said, "and the rescue work
ashore was efficiently handled"

SUPERVISOR STILES n. HUGHS.
Tribute Paid Old and New Oconee
County Officials.

! Richland, JAM 15.-Special: To-
day Stiles N. ;Hughs, Of Richland, re-
ceived his commission from Governor
Manning as Supervisor of Oconee
| county in the place Of w. c. Foster,
whose tragic death took place at
Elizabeth, N. j., December 2Sth, last.
Mr.. Hughs has never aspired to
any political Office and was in no
sense an applicant for the position.
His friends around Richland and
throughout the county, knowing him
to be perhaps the best qualified man
in the county for this position
truly the office seeking the man) -
actually thrust it upon him, and he
reluctantly accepted.
Stiles N. Hughs first saw the light
here at Richland sd years ago. He
attended the Richland school and
studied one year at Adger College.
At the age Of 23 he began his career
In the bridge construction work on
,, the Southern railroad. He spent 20
years on the upgrade in the build
ing department of that road, dealing
with wood, stone, concrete. iron and
dirt. Rung by rung he climbed the
ladder Of promotion, finally filling
the position Of general timber jn-
spector for 500 miles Of the railway
system. In his balmy days he broke
the record in counting and inspect
ing ties, branding and inspecting and
checking up 1900 ties in one day.
Later he went into the business of
general contractor in grading on his
own. resources. All this. with his
large farming and banking interests
mere and in the county, has given him
useful store OF information and eX-
pericnce that few men possess. And
thls, together with plenty Of mother
wit. dogged will power and mature
Judgment, fit him for the task now to
be accomplished.
10 step into the shoes Of Supervi-
sor w. G. Foster (the peer of any Su-
perVisor in the State) Is no small or
easy task. But Stiles Hughs, "to the
manner born" and pledged. starts out
to win, and win he will. Richland
pinned her faith to Foster, and he
made good. Now we tack our faith
to another Of our sons and bide the
coming term with big degree Of
pride.
BY the way, Mr.. Editor, come to
think about 1t, that man James NJ.
I Moss has often stumped his toes in
R1chland school playground and
walked the muddy Coneross roads
two miles and half to our school.
without consulting any one we here
by put him in the ring with Messrs.
Foster and Hughs and hang our
| faith on him, too.

DEATH OF NJ. ALLEN TERRELL.
HOnOrcd Citizen of Westminster
Passed Away Last Friday.
(Tugaloo Tribune. 16th.)

Al $40 p. M. on Friday, January
18th, Moses Allen Terrell, senior dea-
con Of the Westminster Baptist
church and Confederate veteran, died
at his home in Westminster after sew
cral mouths Of weakness and suffer-
Ing. Since last August Mr.. Terrell
had been in declining health. He
grew better and was able to walk
down town few times in September
and October. He had been gradually
growing weaker since the latter part
or October but some days he felt bet
ter, and as he would rally over severe
spells hope was held out for his re-
covery. The immediate cause of his
death was Bright's disease.
A man Of excellent habits, fine
moral character and sturdy consti.
tuition. Mr.. Terrell was active until
he had passed the allotted three score
years and ten. He was man of sun
shiny disposition and was not dis
posed to worry about things that the
ordinary man worried over. This
cheerful disposition remained with
MIN to the last, and he was always
delighted to have his friends call and
see him up to his closing days. He
was good neighbor, a good citizen,
a good friend. and best Of all a Chris
tian gentleman. To all who knew
his family, we believe they are pre-
pared to say with us that there was
perhaps no happier family circle in
Wonee than his. The sons and
daughters have in q large measure in
herlted the noble and kindly disposi-
ton of their father and mother.
Born IN Oconee rs years ago, the
deceased had spent his long and use
iul hle within eight miles Of his
birthplace, with the execution of his
&our years service in the Civil War
Nine OF the children of the deceased
were born in the same house in which
Mr.. Terrell first saw the light. AT
the sound Of the tocsin of war until
the surrender Of Lee at Appomattox.
Mr.. Terrell served without q mark
from the enemy's bullet. His death
removes another brave soldier from
among the survivors Of Orr's Regi
ment.
Funeral services were held i'm the
Westminster Baptist church Saturday
afternoon at $50 o'clock. The SER
vices we're conducted by Rev. II. M.
FallaW, now Of SimpsOnville, who
was until few weeks ago pastor Of
this church, assisted by three resi-
dent pastors, Rev. J. w. Lewis, of the
Methodist church; Rev. j. e. Wal.
lace, Of the Presbyterian church, and
Rev. J. A. Martin, Of the Emmanuel
church. The services were very an
propriate and consOling to those so
sorely bereaved. Six of the deacons
