When brown and bare the garden

And snow in chill November flies,
The gardener wears a cheerful

Who has a heaped potato bin.
With cellar full of garden-gold.

And well he may, whose faithful
toll
Will winters cold and hunger foil.

residence about 2:30 o'clock this
morning they demanded the prison

swered the men by throwing the jail
keys into a dark room and dropped
when they started firing. His wife
and sister, Miss Maggie Allen, came
out of their rooms and Mrs. Allen
stepped in front of her husband,
whom she thought wounded or dead.
She was shot down, as was her sister.
Albert Roberts, Fl years old, a
nephew of Jailer A. A. Allen, then
appeared and started shooting at the
men. They returned the fire, fatally
wounding him.
Without making any attempt to
search the jail, the band of men de-
parted.
Mrs. Allen, who, it was erroneous
iy reported today, had died, is in a
critical condition. Her sister-in-law
is suffering from four bullet wounds.
This afternoon Mrs. Allen gave Of

TWO WHITE MEN
ATTEMPT HOLDUP
CLAIM TO BE ENFORC-
ING HIGHWAY LAWS-RUSE
FAILS AND OFFICERS AR.
REST LATER NEAR ROCK
HILL.

York, Dec. .9.-Two white men
giving their names as j. B. Perry
of Columbia and L. E. Odom of
Lancaster were committed to the
York county jail last night follow
ing an attempted holdup by them
of an automobile of York people 8
miles east of town shortly after
nightfall.
The York car, in which were R.
D. Alexander, Jr., Paul Neil, Mrs.
]. I. Barron, Mrs. C. H. Hart, Miss
Bessie Barron and Miss Louise Bar
ron, was stopped by Perry and
Odom on the Rock Hill road near
Newport, Perry approaching with a
revolver and declaring the York
people were pinched for speeding.
Finding more occupants in the car
than he evidently expected and
meeting with "a whitening verbal
ibarrage, Odom resisted from his
apparent purpose to extort the pay
merit of a bogus fine for speeding
or from highway robbery and per
mitted the York people to proceed
on their way.
Upon reaching York they imme-
diately reported the matter to
Sheriff Fred E. Quinn and the
York police, who kept on the look
out for any suspicious appearing
strangers. Perry and .odom came on
to York bought some gasoline and
stepped into drug store after
which they continued on their way.
During their brief stop here, how
ever, they were recognized by some
Of the York people they had held
up and Sheriff Quinn started in
pursuit. The strangers were over
hauled and arrested on the western
outskirts Of town..
Perry readily acknowledged his
connection with the holdup but
countered by declaring that he was
defective working for Sheriff
Heise of Columbia. He is rs years
Of age and says he is son of M.
Perry, formerly of Columbia but
now of Blaney. He claims to have
spent most ON his. life in Columbia
and says he has done private detec-
tive work for Rural Policeman
Dunnaway..
Odom, who is of about the same
age as Perry, seems to have had
little connection with the holdup.

ANTI.MOB MEASURE
SOON BE CONSIDERED
Bill is Designed to Prevent Lynch
ings in United States.-Taken
UP Before Holidays.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Early con-
sideration of the Dyer anti-Enching
bill in the house was assured today,
the rules committee voting to give
measure privileged status on the cal
endar. Chairman Campbell said the
bill would be. taken up before the
Christmas holidays. .
Urging the rules committee not to
give the bill privileged status, Rep
resentative Summers, Texas, demo-
cratic member of the judiciary COM
mittee, declared that the bill was
without constitutional warrant.
"There isn't lawyer on earth who
can defend it on constitutional
grounds" Mr.. Summers declared. "lt
gives Washington the right to die
tate to states how they shall exercise
police powers. There never was a
proposition like it even in recon-
struction days. It permits the federal
government to lay coercive hands on
states and establishes a precedent of
sweeping encroachment on states
rights"
The bill provides heavy prison pen
alties and fines for persons part'ci-
pating in lynchings and stiff fines for
officials who, through negligence fail
to prevent mob disorders.

UPROAR FOLLOWS
WATSON THREAT
CHAIRMAN BRANDECEE CALLS
ON SERGEANT-AT ARMS TO-
.GE EORGIA SENATOR WOULD.
SLAP OFFICERS FACE.
DOES NOT LIKE Looks.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Threats
by Senator Watson (Democrat) Of
Georgia to slap the face of an army
officer, sitting within touch Of his
elbow, threw the meeting Of the
senate committee investigating
charges that American soldiers had
ben illegally hanged in France into;
an uproar today and brougat q
quick demand from Chairman
Brandegee for sergeant-at- arms
to prevent any physical clash.
For a moment the utmost con-.
fusion prevailed. Above the din Of.
shuf1ing feet as some women hur-s
ried toward the door,, the voice Of.
the chairman, the strident notes..
commanded the Georgia senator TO
sit down or retire from the room;
Banging the tabFe with bare
knuckles, the chairman soon re-
stored a semblance of order, but
there were many heated exchanges
before the meeting broke up until
tomorrow afternoon.
Maj. George w. Cocheu, attached
TO the general staff, was the officer
on whom Senator Watson launched
his verbal attack. 1t happened near
fale close of a brief but turbulent
meeting at which Senator Watson's
charge that the committee "at a se-:
cret session had prejudiced" the:
case was characterized by Senator
Shields (Democrat) Of Tennessee, q
member of the committee, as ul-;
true and wholly without foundation.
The senator's attack ON Major
Cocheu hit the committee Hike q;
crack Of lightning. There had been
no intimation that anything Of the
kind was impending. Major Cocheu
sitting next to- COL Walter Bethel,
General Pershing's Judge advocate
general in France had not testified
and his frinds said later, was pres,
ent in his official capacity as chief
of the executive branch Of the gem
eral staff, .....
Suddenly swinging on his feet
and shaking his right hand within
two feet of the majors face, the
senator, his voice pitched high, ex-,
claimed, "For two pennies I'D slap
your jaws" The officer did not bat
an eye.
Instantly Chairman Brandegee
was on his feet, calling for ser
geant-at- arms to protect the Off
Ger from IAN insultk Then, declar-
ing that he himself had been in
suled, Senator Watson announced
that he would retire from the meet
ing. -.

HADLEY PAYS WITH
L|FEF FOR MURDER
PROMINENT PHYSICIAN ELEC-
TROcUTED IN RICHMOND FOR
MURDER OF HIS WIFE SOME
MONTHS AGO, CASE WAS SEN
SATIONAL ONE.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 10.-Dr. Will
mer Ames Hadley, physician at the
base hospital at West Hampton in
1918, has paid the penalty of death
in the electric chair for the murder
of his wife, Sue Tinsley Hadley, and
one of the most prominent murder
cases in the criminal histroy of Vir-
ginia is finished.
The physician went to his doom
early this morning at the state penl-
tentiary with the same unassuming
air that carried him through his trial
before audiences that taxed the ca
pacity of the Henrico county court
room. Brief as it was, the trial, last
ing only two days, every bit of evi-
dence was heard by citizens from all
walks of life, and not in history has
the little courtroom housed such
crowds as were present as the evi-
dence was presented.
The crime with which DR.. Hadley
was tried and later convicted, and
for. which today he paid the penalty,
was committed the latter part of De-
cember, 1918. First information that
a murder had taken place became
known on December 8, 1918, when
a body, which later turned out to be
that of Mrs. Hadley, was found float
ing in the James river five miles above
Richmond.
From that day until September 1,
when the physician was arrested in
southern Colorado by representa-
tive of detective agency, police of
Richmond and Henrico made a coun-
try-wide search for the perpetrator
of the crime.
The trial began on October rs,
when Hadley entered a plea Of not
guilty when brought before the jury
after the grand jury had reindicted
him, he having been indicted some
time before being apprehended.
A discussion by the opposing at
torneys. on the question of admitting
to record an alleged confession re-
suited in the opening day of the
trial. 1t finally was placed on record.
= Counsel for Hadley at his request
abandoned efforts for new trial.
The physician was reported as saying
he preferred not to 60 through the
"ordear' of a second trial.
Conviction of the accused man
was brought about without the testi-
mony of ore Of the most important
witnesses for the prosecution. Mrs.
E. G. Clarke, with whom Dr.. and
Mrs. Hadley had made their home
end who identified clothing of the
murdered woman a few days before
Hadley was arrested.
