night it was well under control and Off

CAUGHT IN ELEVATOR
jesse Champion Victim of Painful Ac-
cident mt Hotel Vermont

Jesse Champion. a colored man who
is now in his third season as captain
of bell-hops at the Hotel Vermont,
received a very painful injury Tues
day afternoon when he cut a cash
about seven inches long and two inches
deep in his left leg as a result of get
ting it caught in the elevator. He
also received cuts and bruises on his
other leg. There were no bones broken
and none of the injuries are serious
The injured man was resting comfort
ably, according to reports from the
hospital last night
Champion was in the elevator alone
at the time the accident occurred. and
no one saw what happened, SO far as
can be learned. But. from such in
formation as can be obtained, it is I'M
derstood that the colored man was on
one of the upper floors and started to
send the elevator down alone. there
being an automatic arrangement which
will stop the car when it reaches the
bottom of the course.
According to this version of the ac-
cident. Champion pulled the lever the
wrong way and the car started up.
Realizing his mistake. he jumped for
the car to change it's direction. but
was not quick enough to avoid being
caught, tnuS receiving the injuries. ne
had the presence of mind to reverse
the lever and send the car down.
The injured mans cries were heard
by other employees of the hotel, who
rushed to his assistance as soon as
the elevator reached the first floor. AS
the door of the car was opened, the
colored man fell forward TO the floor,
bleeding profusely. County Fish and
Game Warden Henry n, Rowley of
Shelburne happened to be standing
near by and he hurried to the in
jured mans assistance, binding up the
wound and administering first aid.
The police ambulance was called and
Champion was taken to the Mary
Fletcher hospital, where his wounds
were attended to. 1t is not thought
that they will prove serious, or will
lay him up for any length of time.
Champion is about 80 years of age,
has a wife and one child. He is head
bell-hop at the Hotel Vermont during
the summer months and works in Cam
den, S. c., during the winter.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
AGAIN REPEALED
Another Bill Passed in Congress
to Run Gauntlet of the
Presidents Veto

Washington, Aug 1.-The Senate to-day
decided to have the proposal for repeal
of the daylight saving law again run
the gauntlet of President Wilson's veto.
BY a vote of Al to Il the Senate passed
and sent to the President the separate
House bill repeating the daylight saving
measure.
During brief discussion of the House
bill several senators predicted that the
measure like the daylight repeal rider on
the agricultural appropriation bill, would
be vetoed by the President. The separate
House bill was passed June IS. but action
in the Senate was suspended until to-day
and. in the interim, the President vetoed
the rider and the House was unable to
enact it over the veto.
The Senate's action now places vir-
tually similar repeal legislation again
before the President. The only differ
ence in the vetoed rider and the separate
bill is that the latter would not inter-
fere with standard zones of time.
Many democrats Joined with republ-
cans in favor of the repeal of the bill.
