w ally after the campaign of 1907,
which made him famous, u group of
the prettiest women In Paris gathered
around the new conQuerOr. None of
them were more bewitchng than his
own sister, Paulette. When many
women were striving to reach high
station, Paulette had just one mission

She turned so many heads that the

forced General Leclcre to marry her.
The little Pauette continued to be her

campaign against Portugal. Napoleon
saw his chance and packed both OF
them Off to Santo Domingo. although
Paulette rolled at his feet and tore
her hair.
Leclere died In Santo Domingo, and
back came Paulette to Paris. Napole-
on provided her with husband by
force a second tSme. He was Prince
Camilla Borghese of Rome.
But she and the prince did not get
on well. In Rome Paulette met the
great sculptor Canova, and posed for
his reclining statue Of Venus.
Napoleon had himself proclaimed
emperor and Paulette FASTENED back
to take her place near him. The prince
had become insufferable to her. Ma.
poleon kindly sent him off to dis
tant army command. And Pauette
threw herself into a succession Of love
affairs. Generals. actors, musicians,

her intmates. This conduct caused

WASHINGTON LETTER
By Wallace Bassford

Washington, D. c., June 19.-When
Oscar Underwood, of Alabma, was in
the House of Representative he Luilt
up great reputation as an expert on
the tariff; he became Chairman of The
Committee on Ways and Means and
his name became fastened on the tar
III law which his committee compiled
and put through the House. Under
that measure the country enjoyed the
greatest prosperity it ever knew, and
1t remained for the greed of American
manufacturers to nnd fault with the
law. Mr.. Underwood is now the Demo-
cratic leader in the Senate. He has
written for the New York Times. the
greatest Democratic newspaper of this
time, a long article on the proposed
tariff law now before the Senate.
Space forbids its use in full, but here
are some of the most pertinent para
graphs:
II have always opposed in princi-
pie the theory of protection, and have
leaned strongly to the idea that Gus
toms should be levied primarily in the
interest of revenue for the Govern
ment, and that all rates of taxation
should be so adjusted as to allow a
reasonable inflow of goods from
abroad in order that the Custom
House might have an opportunity to
take its toll as they passed through
and some degree of competition might
be established. have never contended
that, in the interest of a revenue ta-
riff, 1T is Necessary to bring about des-
tructive competition, but a tariff that
hxes the rates of taxation so high as
to practically prohibit foreign goods
from entering the American market at
all has been abhorrent to nv idea of
the proper use of the taxing power of
the Congress of the United States.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

AS the time for the State Conven-
ton of the American Legion draws
near the members of the various posts
are laying plans to attend. 1t is ex-
pected that some very novel features
will be staged in connection with the
State Convention. Mr.. j. P. Gibson,
Jr., of Bennettsville, advises that his
post will send large delegation to
the State Convention and that they
expect to go over in box car. This is
good idea and should result in a
large attendance from Bennettsville
1t is hoped that other Posts in the
State will devise some novel schemes
for attending the convention and
thereby help to create more interest
in Legion matters.

this connection is that publishers and

was the competition that it is stated
that several million dollars will be re-

THERE was but little doubt in the
mind Of Thomas Byrnes, superin-
tendent Of police in New York
city, that Louis Hanier had been muir
dered for the sake of the money that
he was carrying with him at the time.A
The little Frenchman- had been the
proprietor of cafe, and, having E
fear Of the banks Of America. had the
habit of carrying hundreds of dollars
in his wallet until the opportunity pre-
sented itself Of purchasing an inter
national money order.
One morning he was found dead In
the vestibule of his home. .9s call.
Der bullet through his heart, and his
pocketbook missing.
That was all Byrnes had to work
upon, for there were no indications
whatever Of the persons who had COM
mitted the crime. The dispatch with
which the matter had been handled,
appeared to point to a professional :
criminal, 50 Byrnes gave orders that
all the pawnshops in New York were
to be closely watched, and reportsl
made to him of the pawning Of any
.3S caliber revolvers.
Investigation of the dozen or moro
.3Ss pawned during the week which
followed the Hanier shooting, showed
| that all but one Of them had been
pledged by persons who very evident
| ly had no connection with the murder.
The single exception was one Michael
! McGlOin, whom the pawnbroker in
question identified by means Of his
photograph in the Rouges' gallery.
McGloin's gun had been pawned on
the morning after the murder. and.
while the police had little difficulty
in locating the man himself, there was
not shred of evidepce to connect
him with the Hanier case, beyond the
fact that he had been absent from
home on the night Of the shooting In
the company OF four Of his boon COM
panions.
Quietly, and without allowing
word of his intentions to leak out,
Byrnes rounded up the quintet one
at time, none of them knowing that
the others were being arrested Each
|
self and questioned closely as to his
actions and his whereabouts ut the
time of the murder. In spite Of the
fact that Byrnes had definite infor-
nation that the five men had been to-
gether, each of them told a different
story. and each claimed to have been
alone, at n considerable distance from
the Hanier house.
ITS no use, inspector" said one of
the policemen who had been working
on the case about week after the
five men had been picked up, "you
can't get a thing out Of em. They
know, all right, but you can't convict
any Of 'em without a confession-and
we've tried everything, including the
