tendent of education, that the State
board of education had caused the
useless expenditure on the part of
patrons of South Carolina schools
by duplicate adoption of text books
Of approximately quarter Of a mil
lion dollars. John e. Swearingen de-
clared that the only answer he
would make was that it would be
unwise to put text book agent
into office at this time.
Discussions Of the issues that
now face the people and the State
by Thomas G. Mcleod brought
forth frequent applause from the
audience, especially his emphatic
statements regarding law enforce
ment, which he said is the greatest
question that confronts the world
today, the limited use of the par
doning power, and expansion of the
school system economically and cf-
ficiently.
kilograms from several members
OF the party were read by the coun-
ty chairman, stating various rea-
sons for their non attendance at
the meeting today.
w. Turner Logan and l. S. Hutto,
candidates for the Congressional
nomination from the First district,
were present and made short ap-
peals for the suffrage of the Ber-
kelley county citizens. Mr.. Logan
the incumbent, was the first to
speak He dealt largely with the
measures now being considered for
development Of the coastal lands of
the Southern States, and told of
the fight that has been waged by
the minority Democrats against
overwhelming odds.
Mr. Logan paid special attention
to the subject of roads and bridges,
and told Of the help being given
by the federal government for this
purpose.
|. S. Hutto, of Dorchester, stated
that Charleston county has always
been in power in Congress, and that
a Broad street lawyer invariably
fills this important Office from this
district, representing approximately
2l5,000 citizens. Thc%time has come
for a change, said Mr.. Hutto, who
claims that large number of citi-
Zens of Charleston county and city
are endorsing his candidacy. He
charged that John P. Grace is no
torious, both in the State and ma
ton, and that the present mayor
used his Influence to disfranchisc
the farmers of Charleston county
at the county convention in May.
Mr.. Hutto told of the organiza-
ton of the federal reserve banking
system, and said that during the
war, these institutions were of un-
told value, but had now become in
struments or torture for the farm
ers of the South. He promised to
fight for relief from the present
condition of affairs in connection
with these banking institutions.
Mr.. Logan and Mr.. Hutto will
address the voters of the city at Hi
bcrnian Hall in Charleston tomor-
row night at 8 o'clock at the meet
ing of the candidates for State Of
fees.

CLUBS DENOUNCED
BY mrs. WALLACE
'harges "Rings" Supporting Other
Woman Candidate
MANY SPEAKERS ABSENT
Candidates for State Offices Will Ad-
dress Voters at Charleston
Tonight.

Moncks Corner, July 3.-Rivalling
interest the attacks that have been
staged during the State campaign
party was the expression of Mrs. E.
Barton Wallace, candidate for super
intendent of education at the meeting
here today against what she termed
the political rings and clubs" that
are actively supporting the candidacy
OF another candidate of the feminine
sex for the same office.
After telling in detail of her ex-
perience in the schools and COL
leges of the State, her work among
tile American soldiers in Franco
during the war, and the establish
ment of the children's clinic at Co.
lumbia, Mrs. Wallace stated to the
audience which filled the court
room of the Berkeley County court
house that she was tenderfoot
in politics, that she had found no
time to devote to women's clubs on
account of the fact that the major
portion of her life had been devoted
to the instilling of ideals and
knowledge in the lives Of children
IN the communities V ,re she has
labored, and that bnr afternoons.
instead of being spent among club
women, had been spent among the
unfortunate children who daily
visit the Columbia clinic for treat
ment, recreation, and the funda-
mentals of primary education.
Mrs. Wallace stated if she had
desired, she could have become af
fillated with the most select clubs
in the city of Columbia by invita-
ton, and that the only circle or
"ring" with which she was aligned
was that circle whose members de-
sired to render the greatest serv-
ice possible to humanity, and that
the office of State superintendent
would open up new avenues for ex-
pansion of the work in which she
has spent more than fifteen years.
George K. Laney, candidate for
Governor, also came into the lime
, light in bitter denunciation of
: John T. Duncan, following state
nlents made repeatedly from the
platform by Duncan that Laney had
shown willingness to dispose of
the Columbia Canal for the paltry
sum of $4,000 to E. w. Robertson,
of Columbia, instead of showing a
determination to develop the prop
erty for the financial benefit of the
State. "Any man who intimatcs any
crookedness on my part in con-
ncction with the canal is liar" de-
clarcd Mr.. Laney, who has served
for number Of years as a member
of the canal commission of the Gen
eral Assembly.
"My whole life has been lived
with the purpose ever in mind of
building character for myself, and
1t shall not be besmirched," was
the emphatic conclusion of the Sena-
tor from Chesterfield county

ing to $4,000.
/ High Interest From En-
barrassed Borrower
Lure That Beggared.

Boise, Idaho, March 15.-Prosecut-
ing Attorney Ebert S. Delana an
nounced Tuesday he was conducting
an investigation with a view to de-
termining whether or not financial
plan which has resulted in the loss of
nearly 100000 to Boise residents was
engineered with criminal intent. More
than 100 persons, some prominent and
others among common laborlng
classes. are said to be involved in
the losses.
Creditors subsequent to meetings
held recently, appealed to the prose-
cutor, alleging they had lost various
sums, ranging from 500 in some IN
stances to several thousands OF dol
lars in others. The plan, as. out
lined to the prosecutor, was similar
to that employed by Ponzi and Bis
choff.
Notes Written Above Principal
Persons with money to loan were
approached by trio Of curbstone
operators, G. f. Pilliard, William
Ground and Dewey Pearce, all Of
Boise, who represented that they had
clients who, though financially re.
sponsible, were temporarily in need OF
funds and, because they had not es-
tablished credit sufficient to enable
them to borrow through the regular
channels, were willing to pay high
rates of interest for immediate ac-
commodatien. The loan operators Of
fered to invest the savings OF the
lenders and. the prosecuting attorney
says, obtained large sums on their
personal notes. giving in some IN
stances a note for % per cent or more
than the actual amount of money ad-
vanced and in addition offering high
rates Of. interest.
Paid Till Hypnotized
Confidence was firmly established
by the fact that the trio made good
on the payments over q period OF
some duration and some of the lenders
realized handsome profits. Then,
fully certain the plan was good one,
further sums were advanced from time
to time without the original notes be-
ing taken up. This continued until
the crash came early this month, when
demands for payments were met with
excuses and delays, resulting in some
of the creditors becoming nervous.
Few knew the extent to which the
loans had been made until quiet in

The miners are asking for a 20 per
cent increase in contract rates. among
other things, while the mine owners
are on record favoring a decrease be-
low the present working basis. It is
not expected that an agreement will be
reached before the end of the month
and, in that event, the scale commit
tee of the hard coal workers is under
instructions of the Shamokin conven-
ton to order suspension Of mining
until satisfactory agreement il in
sight.
Suspension Certain
It is the opinion Of miners and many
of the operators that a suspension in
the hard coal fields of PENNSYLVANIA
is certain. If it comes, it is expected
there will be complete cessation Of pro-
duction, as on two former occasions
when wage negotiations drsgged over
many weeks. Because of generally
fair reserve supplies. shortage Of
anthracite is not anticipated unless the
the summer, which is not looked for
by the miners.
The miners enter the conference de-
termined, they say, to resist any effort
to reduce wages. There must be no
backward STEP" President Lewis has
said and the miners have declared
themselves as unanimous in supporting
him.
Operators Not Unit
Beyond the general statement that
the workers shall share in the general
deflation by accepting wage cut, the
mine owners have not indicated what
preparation they will make. It has
been reported that they are not unit
on what percentage of decrease they
shall ask.

Seemed to Run Away
''The rapidity with which the fire
spread was astounding" Marshall
Buckley, assistant fire chief, said. 'The
fire actually seemed to run from u.s.
That the original blaze from which
the conflagration grew possibly was of
incendiary origin, was the statement Of
Shirley High, city fire attorney, who
announced the arrest of an unnamed
man on information supplied by H. T..

Specially company, at 521 West Jack

Mr.. High refused to divulge the name
of the man arrested, but said that he
was being questioned regarding threat

a former employe had sent to him.
Mr.. Schiff told Mr.. High the man was
discharged when he became incensed
over refusal to permit him to purchase
stock in the company, and within the
past two months had made series of
threats.

Chicago, March 15-The spectacular early morning fire,

The flames not brought under control until nearly
o'clock and then fremen fighting dozen different
fires and others broke nerttent the wind waited

One fireman killed, another seriously injured ten

spectators who thronged the burning district slightly hurt by

The fire for time threatened to virtually unlimited

Burlington Building Stays Flames
DIR. High summoned several of his
aides while the fire was at its height
and said an Investigation would be be
gun immediately. He placed the total
loss at from $1O,OOOOOO to S15, 900, 900.
Traversing the main burned area, the
Metropolitan west side elevated line
was seriously handicapped in diverting
its thousands of patrons to the down
town district, as was the Aurora and
Elgin electric interban line, which also
used the four track structure which
was caught in the midst Of the fire.
The huge Burlington office building,
called fire proof structure, held the
fire from spreading westward. Prog
ress of the flames to the south was
arrested by the facilities firemen were
able to muster. by flocking to the tops
of the smaller buildings, three to six
stories high and thus increasing the
range of their water streams.
Vacant Lot Prevents Spread
A vacant lot, the site of the proposed
new union station, kept the fire from
spreading northward. The Chicago
river runs a block east of the burned
district, but would have afforded but
little protection had the wind veered
to the north in the retail business sec
ton
Heat from the burning buildings
across the street cracked out
the windows Of the Mercantile Trust
and Savings bank before the Burling
ton building itself was afire. 4 heavy
police guard was thrown about the
bank, but was driven away quickly
when the building caught fire. Cash
S6,OOO,00O are said to be in the banks
vaults, and it may be several days be-
fore they can be examined.
Flames Visible 20 Miles
The Burlington building caught fire
at about the eighth story and burned
up and down. No streams of water
were powerful enough to fight the fire
in the upper stories.
The flames leaping high and puffed
by the gusts of wind, were visible for
more than 20 miles.
The Van Buren street tunnel of the
Chicago surface lines, under the Chi
cago river, closely adjoining the burned
area, became reservoir and was filled
to the street level
The Union depot mail terminal was
not reached by the flames, but postal
employees hurriedly removed all mail
when it appeared that the fire district
could not be restricted.
Burlington Escapes Red Hot
The Mercantile Trust and Savings
bank later announced that the cash and
securities in it's vaults were amply pro-
tected by heavy steel, cement and ashes
tos walls and that it was quite safe.
Arrangements were made to have an
other bank take care of its business
until new quarters could be obtained
The new Burlington building with
stood heat SO terrific that the fire
escape on the side facing the flames
across the street became red hot and
bent of it's own weight. The ornamen-
tai tile ON the building crumbled in the
heat and hot blast, breaking through the
windows. destroyed the interior decora-
tons in many rooms and wiped out ev-
erything made of wood.
1t was estimated that more than
25,OOO persons were made jobless
through the fire.

New York, March 15.-The joint

at 4:4O Wednesday afternoon to Friday

pected to make reply to the demand
for a 20 per cent wage increase pre-

A large number Of operators arrived

tives of the miners comprising the scale

vealed scores of clients. One man,
tailor, says he lost $4,000. Many
others report large sums, but the
majority seem to have little if any
definite knowledge of just what their
losses are.
