Washington, July 7.-Senator New,
Of Indiana, tonight issued the follow

Los Angeles on a charge OF murder
of Harry S. New, who claims he is a
son of the senator.
tI have just this to say about this
whole deplorable matter More than
80 years ago, when I was in my
twenties and unmarried, I knew Mrs.
Burger There was never at any time
question of marriage between us.
Conditions arose which did not care
to dispute which resulted in my doing
everything in my power to make
amends then and later. Whatever I
did in that direction was of my own
accord and no one else had anything
whatever to do with it. The affair
was ended 80 years ago. Since that
time the people of my home city are
the best judges Of what my life has
been. I never have shirked any re-
,sponsibility that has come to me and
I never shall"

Florida Sheriff Killed.

Tampa, Fla, July 4.-Deputy Sher-
III B. c. Wilcox, of Sorrento, one of
the best known officers in that Sec
tion, was shot and killed early this
morning near Clermont, seventy-five
miles north of here by Luther Wilson,

overtaken in the woods by Wilcox
and Sheriff Smyth, Of Lake county.
Sheriff Wilcox returned the fire but
Wilson escaped and Smyth brought
the body of Wilcox back to Clermont.
Tonight posse of several hundred

Wilson was arrested several weeks
ago at his home in Lacooche, charged
with attempted criminal assault on a
relative by marriage while the latter
was on her way to school. Wilson, it
was charged, blacked his face in order
to look like negro, but was recog-
nized by the girl, who caused his ar
rest. After being taken to the county
jail at Dade City just in time to avert
mob violence, Wilson escaped and
has been at large ever since. Gov
ernor Cats recently offered reward

YOUNG MANS LIFE
COST Of BLUNDER
KEISTER HAIR FATALLY WOUND.
ED AT PROSPERITY.
Was Shot For Burglar
G. w. kinard, i'm Effort to Capture
Men Breaking into Store, Makes
Serious Mistake.

Prosperity, July 7.-Keister Hair,
son of B. B. Hair, was shot and fatally
wounded here last might by G.. w.
klnard, who mistakenly took him for
a burglar a party of which Kinard
was member was trying to cap
ture. Hair and several young people
were at the home of friend opposite
the store of Mr.. Kinard when they
noticed three men go behind Mr. XII
nard's establishment and later heard
them break in the store. Several men,
including Mr.. Kinard, who had been
notified, surrounded the building to
capture the burglars \and when Mr..
Hair came around the corner Mr..
klnard shot him with a shotgun,
thinking him one of the burglars.
The load took effect in the abdo-
men, puncturing the intestines over
100 times. Young hair was given first
aid by local physicians and later
rushed to a Columbia hospital for an
operation. After stitching 90 pune
lures in the abdomen doctors at the
Columbia hospital saw there was no
chance for the wounded man and gave
up hope. He died about 10 o'clock
this morning, message to relatives
stated. All efforts to save his life
were made but the intestines and
stomach were literally torn to pieces,
making it impossible to save him.
Mr.. Hair was one of the most popu-
lar young men of the community and
had many friends who are grieved at
the accident. He was member of
the Eighty-frst Division and served
in France. He only returned from
foreign soil last week and had been
at home just few days. Mr. Kinard
is we'll known merchant here and is
grief stricken over the accident.
Young Hair is survived by his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. B. B.
Hair, and a brother, at the University
of Chicago. The remains were
brought here this afternoon from Co.
lumbia and will be inferred at Pros
perity cemetery tomorrow.
Two of the robbers, who were the
cause of the shooting, escaped, but
the third was captured after scuf1e.
Sheriff Blease arrived on the scene
shortly after the fatal affair and is
searching for the other two men.

Oldest Diplomatist 100 Years Old.

Senator Count Giuseppe Grippi,
who has passed the century mark,
is the oldest diplomatist in the world.
He has lived in close touch with
all the great events of the last 80
years, and has known personally most
of the chief figures of the world of
politics and society during this Pc
riod. AS young man he knew
Marie-Louise at Parma, and he was
already a mature diplomatist in the
second stage of his career when he
met the great Duke of Wellington.
Born in Milan, Count Grippi en-
tered the Austrian diplomatic service
II years ago under Metternich, and
his first appointment was to Rome.
Three years earlier he had witnessed
the coronation" of Ferdinand L.,
and three years later he visited vi
enna, where he stayed short time
before being transferred first to Mu-
mich and then to Stockholm. He was
at Stockholm in 1S48, when Milan
rose against the Austrians. He re-
signed from Austrian service and be-
came a citizen of the Kingdom or Sar-
dinia. After short interval he en-
tered the diplomatic service at Pied
mont, and his career ended 81 years
ago, when he left the post of Ambas-
sador in st. Petersburg on Signor
Crispi's accension to the premiership
of Italy. In the interval he had been
in posts in London, Berlin, Athens,
Constantinople, Stuttgart, Munich and
Madrid, where he went as minister in
1875.

The British front had it's northern
extremity short distance north of
Ypres. A bumptious high-ranker,
fond of being paternal and impress
sive before his men, had just taken
command of the troops in the Sec
tor and was making a tour of his
part of the line. The sentry On duty
at the extreme left proved to be a
newly arrived cockney private.
"Do you realize, my man. the gen.
eral beamed, that you are today the
pivot man of the British army?"
The private saluted.
'Great honor, my man." the gener-
al continued. "You are the first out
post of the British Empire. I, your
general, shake hands with you."
The private saluted, had his hand
shaken, saluted dazed1y again, and
watched the general until he was out
of earshot.

asked, what did the old 'un mean

More Warehouses Needed.

Some people learned years ago that
generally heavy loss is sustained by
keeping cotton all winter and spring
out in the weather, but others did not
learn the, expensive lesson until the
past season. Probably never before
has there been such a widespread
damage to cotton from exposure to
weather as there was to the crop Of
1918. This is due to two causes:
First, there was a larger quantity of
cotton held than usual and, second,
to the excessive rain.
Many who sustained loss from
damaged cotton will soon begin to
provide storage rooms on their farms
or they will, if they hold cotton
again, place it in warehouses in towns
and cities.
Some idea of the heavy loss sus-
tanned can be gained from the follow
ing sent out by the State warehouse
commissioner:
ga farmer recently sold 16 bales
of cotton which were left in the wea-
ther after ginning. The rotten wea-
ther damaged cotton in this lot am
ounted to $500 pounds, or over four
bales. The loss in money amounted
to $500 at 80 cents pound. ThiF
farmer could have warehoused his
16 bales in almost any warehouse in
the State system, had there been
room for it, for six years for $500
and at the same time it would have
been insured against fire.
"a second farmer disposed of 60
bales of cotton a week or so age on
which the country damage amount
ed to s2,250. He might have put
his 60 bales in a State warehouse
thus protecting it from the weather
and against fire, kept it there for six
months it lay rotting in his yard and
saved at least s1,s1S Of the s2,25O
lost."- -Edgefield Advertiser.

to Marry Companion On
Motor Ride.

Los Angeles, CAL, July 5.-Harry
S. New, of Glendale, CAL, walked into
police headquarters early today, in
formed detectives that there was a
dead woman in his automobile and he
desired to give himself up ASA mur-
dered. He then led the officers to a
car outside the station, where the
body of Frieda J. Lesser, 21 years
old, was found.
New, according to statement of
the police, said he had quarreled with
the young woman at Topanga Canyon,
several miles from the city, when she
refused to marry him and had shot
her. She had bullet hole through
the head.
New was charged with murder and
held without bond.
1--WE did not understand each 9TH
er," said New, according to Detective
Sergt. D. A. Davidson, "and so shot
her, and here I am. There she is
too," he added, as he gazed at the
dead girl.
New 80 years of age, told the Off
GERS, according to their statement, of
his story, that he was engaged to Miss
Lesser. He said he urged her to mar
ry him and when she refused he shot
her. He said he had borrowed the
automobile from his mother, Mrs.
Lulu M. Berger, of Glendale, and had
driven with the girl to Venice, then
through Hollywood, and finally up the
Topango Canyon road, where their
quarrel eliminated in the shooting.
He told the officers, they said, that
for three hours afterward he drove
around town, trying to make up his
mind to surrender.
New is of slight build. He showed
no evidence of excitement and Of
ficers said he had not been drinking.
New told the police, they said, that
he was the son of United States Sena-
tor Harry S. New, of Indiana, and his
claim was corroborated by relatives
of the dead girl, who said they had
known New and his family in Indi-
ana.

"At meeting of the cotton farm

government not to put heavy tariff
on German potash. This effort was
killed by the agency of the men in

ing of Southern commissioners Of

ton at an early date to protest against
the proposed heavy duty on German
potash. Our farmers must have pot

prices proposed"

WRECK AT ST. MATTHEWS.
Engineer Shows Presence of Mind as
Passenger Crashes Into Siding.

st. Matthews, July 5.-Driving in
to an open switch at good speed,
passenger train No. 27, better known
as the carolina Special" north,
bound, was wrecked here today
about noon and a number of persons
injured. The train was in charge of
Conductor Keckley with Engineer H.
G. Senseny at the throttle and but for
the wonderful presence of mind and
quick work of Mr.. Senseny a number
of dead would surely have been the
toll
The train was coming into the
town limits and the engineer had just
sounded the station signal he states,
when within about 100 yards of the
switch he noticed that the red side
was out. He signalled to a railway
hand standing nearby to close it and
at the same time cut the steam off his
engine and applied the emergency
brake. Seeing that the engine was
going to strike some box cars stand
ing near deep embankment, Mr..
Senseny jumped and was followed
by his fireman. The train crashed
into the boxes, demolishing number
of them and completely wrecking the
engine.
A train hand with the work train
on the siding was seriously injured,
being severely cut about the head. A
number of passengers were slightly
bruised and badly shaken up. Engi-
neer Senseny and the firemen we're
severely bruised in their Jump. Scores
of people were Immediately on the
scene and the injured were rushed
into town to a local infirmary and
placed in charge of the local railway
surgeon.
It is pretty clearly established that
the train hand who threw the switch
open did it under the stress of ex-
citement. He is said to have stated
that upon seeing the approaching
train he looked up and saw the red
signal facing him, he Immediately
threw it and opened the switch think
ing he was closing it. The material
damage to rolling stock is heavy.
