NEW SCANDAL
 IN BASEBALL NOW BREWING
tBy Associated Prcss)

CHICAGO. July 25.-A new base ball scandal seems to be brewing to- day as the state attorneys agents continue their frantic efforts to find the immunity waivers and confes- sions signed before the grand jury by Cicotte, Williams and Jackson.
 Information in the hands of the states attorney indicates that a New York gambler paid $1O,O0O for the papers shortly after they were stolen from the official records in Chicago.
 Another development was that a statement made by Williams before Alfred Austrian, attorney for the White Sox club, has disappeared from his files. It contained detailed rami, fications of the alleged plot.
 Cicotte, Williams and Jackson told their own stories of the 1919 world series scandal at the trial today They related how they had confessed to the special grand jury and each declared their confession was made only after they had been promised the confessions would never be used against them and were only wanted so that the gamblers might be trampled under foot"

very frequently We have the recedlne
jaw in petty violators of the law OF
the land. 1t has also been noted that
among the insane the jaw is relative,
ly smaller than among the sane. We
frequently see cases of what has been
called arrested upper and lower jaws
The projecting lower jaw also appears
among criminals. Outstanding ears
are also frequently seen among this
class. The nose is usually rectilin-
ear. The skin of the criminal class
usually presents a peculiar pallor,
usually accompanied by deep wrin-
kles.
Coming to the body of the criminal
we see that he is both lighter and
shorter than the average man. Some
observers have found that the average
criminal was about the size of boys
sixteen to seventeen years of age.
While some of the unfortunate class
are larger and heavier than normal
people yet the tendency is certainly
in the other direction.
In addition to bodily peculiarities
we see that crime has physiognomy
of it's own peculiar type. The born
criminal cannot conceal this fact
from a practical observer. The Ro-
mans said: Little beard and little
color, there is nothing: worse under
heaven" The Tuscan saying was:
Salute from afar the beardless man
and the bearded woman"
In addition to these characteristics
the great law of heredity forms part
of this study. The Jews spoke of
visiting the. sins of the fathers upon
those even to the third and fourth
generation. We see and hear of this
every day in the case of certain re-
pulsive and loathsome diseases. Very
often innate disposition is confused
with social environment; but we must
all admit that heredity is a powerful
force.
Besides all these characteristics we
see that criminals exhibit physical in
sensibiIty to a marked degree; in
many cases they are apparently in
sensible to pain. Pain in many cases
is a welcome arprise to the man ad-
dicted to crime. They do not seem
to have any remorse of conscience but
only fear Of punishment"

'insinuation made by a writer III the
New York Nation. The detractor Of
Pinckney quoted in part from letter
Iof Washington to Madison, on the
22nd of October, 1887, written Just
a month after The constitutional con-
Ivention, in which the Father of his
Country--no dispute as to that title
says, "Mr. G. pinckncy IS
unwilling to lose any fame that can
be acquired by the publication of his
sentiments" In other words, the IN
sinuation is that Washington regarded
Pinckney as a sort of Judge X. M
Lands with bad case Of front
page-itis.' Judge Mott shows, how
ever, that by the crooked omission,
shown by the asterisks, the whole OF
Washington's remarks were not gwen
and that he was merely making
playful reference to Mr. Pinckney's
views. He did not treat with indiff-,
erence the draft of a constitution that
was submitted by Mr.. pinckney on
the 22nd of October.
Woodrow Wilson in his History of
American People, he's brief refer
ence to the leaders Of the convention
of 1887. He does not even mention
Pinckney by name. He does mention
among leaders" John Rutledge of
South Carolina ''who had become
sort of dictator of its affairs in that
state" He names George Mason,
"best type of country gentleman of
Virginia. ard James Wilson, "the
shrewd and canny Scot from Penn
sylvania' and James Madison, who
finally became the "director Of the de-
bates
The truth is that the convention
was about as representative collection
of. chest minds as could be had at
that day. We do rot know and never
will know who was the A,naster mind"
the Father of the Constitution"
All had hand in it. We yield to no
one in state pride or in efforts to up
held the glorious history of South
Carolina and her many noble sons,
but we do not believe in claiming too
much and too extensively.

THE WONDERFUL sUNFLOWER
Commonplace Plant is Useful as Well
as Ornamental
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
The sunflower, although it originat-
cd in this country, in the great plains,
is not used so extensively here as in
some other countries, especially Rus
sia, in normal times. 1t is a long
time since the p4aat first delighted the
eyes of Europeans, being then cult
waited in the gardens of Madrid. The
early Spanish explorers had found it
in this country and taken it home with
them. M
The plant was utilized by the Am
crican Indians lohgj before the days
Of Columbus. #hen Champlain Wis,
tied the Georgian bay in 1915 he
found the natives growing it and US
ing the oil for 3heir hair. 1t was
raised chiefly, however, for the food
afforded by the seeds.
In Russia the seeds have always been
eaten in immense quantities, raw or
toasted, as peanuts are in this. ccun
try, and the oil obtained by pressing
the seeds is an important article Of
diet. The frequent religious fast
days in that country restrict the use
of meat and lead to the consumption
of vegetable oil, and in normal times
the manufacture of sunfower oil is al
ways Of considerable dimensions. The
best seeds yield an oil which COM
pares favorably with olive oil.
The seeds Of the larger and finer
flowers are held to be quite equal to
nlcst nuts in respect to palatability
and wholsomeness. The stalks and
dried leaves are highly priced for fu-
cl, being in some parts of Russia al
most the Only available substitute for
wood. An acre of sunfowers will
yield many cords Of good fuel.
The oil appears to possess more Of
the general properties Of olive oil
than takes about a bushel of seeds
to make a gallon Of oil and so bushels
Of seeds can be grown on one acre of
land. AS the oil sells for more than
81 a gallon the profit is large.
OF late years purified snnfower oil
has been used extensively in the adul-
teration of Give oil. 1t is of a pale
yellowish color and decidedly pala-
table. In crude state it is used by
painters to some extent, but it is in
ferior to linseed oil for use in paint.
In addition to the oil from the
seeds the stalks, when green, and the
oil cake makes excellent fodder. The
fibre of the stalks, which is fine, sill
ky and very strong, also has a value.
In China it is woven into beautiful
fabrics and it is believed that by the
use of the proper machinery it might
be utilized most profitably in the
United States.

INVISIBLE EMPIRE ORGAN
IZING IN ANDERSON
Knights of Ku Klux Klan Said to Be
Starting the Third cf Its
Organizations in Anderson
Anderson Tribune.

Anderson Tribune.
The second or possibly the third or
fg,atization of the Ku Klux Klan in
this county has begun in this city,
where the forces of the Invisible En-
pire are said to be very strong, with
large number Of applications on the
waiting list. Unofficial information
has il that a chartered chapter or post
of the organization will soon be es-
tablished here.
Considerable interest has been
shown in Ku Klux developments since
The New York World and newspapers
in different sections have published an
exposure" of the organization. About
year ago there was some talk of the
Ku Klux organizing here, but the or
ganization did not develop. During
the last few months an organization
is said to have begun here, and IN
formation received through unofficial
sources indicates that the Ku Klux
Klan has by no means been unsuc-
cessful in Anderson.
Large quantities of literature have
been mailed to prospective members.
Rumor has it that only men of the
best character are invited to join and
under no circumstances is anyone ad-
mitted except by unanimous consent
of all Klansmen of the local, post.
Since the Klan has become tar
get for newspaper criticism, it is said
to have grown more rapidly than be-
fore. A local man, who appears to
be somewhat of a statistician, an
nounces thai approximately 100000
persons are members of the Klan and
that seventy five per cent or there
abouts of the members are Masons.

the other cases Where TINS feature
does not occur, we see a large ridge
or protuberance just above the eyes
from which the forehead recedes. The
small receding forehead is the other
type.
Having viewed the heads, let US see
about the hair on that head. In all
the pictures but one, there was full
head of hair. This seems to be univer-
sally true; the hair is, abundant but
the beard is scanty in the criminal
type. Many heads have woody ap-
pearance, which is rarely the case
among normal persons. The psopor-
tion of dark hair among criminals IS
greater than normal, except as to
sexual offenders, where the light halr
prevails The criminal man does not
turn gray so soon as the normal man;
whereas the criminal woman turns
gray sooner than the ordinary woman.
Having seen that the hair may fur
nish a fair index to the nature Of a
criminal, we wish to mark the pecu-
liarities of the face. There is marked
predominance Of the Square jaw
among this unfortunate class. There,
as in the case of the head we see the
contour approaching the lines and
angles rather than circles. This square
savage chin is found among the more
daring and dangerous offenders; but
