AMD?.!1*7 VA?ICE IN. TOILS Shot Pam Cosby Five Year# Ago, and | Made Get-a-way.?Returns To Greenwood and Robs Dead Negro and Gets Jugged. Recognized and Re turned Here. Andrew Vance is finding the Way 1 of the transgressor hard/ He is find- j ing it after many days, but finding it j nevertheless. Andrew was formerly; an inhabitant of Abbeville and vicin ity. He was a friend of Epaminondas ] Cosby, called Pam for short. Andrew I drank" too much liquor Pam thinks j and raised a rough house with Pam. j Pam could not get him to listen to; reason and after he had been "cuss- j ed" with all the "cuss" words in An drew's . vocabulary Pam decided to leave Andrew. So he started To walk away, when Andrew pulled his pistol, firing at Pam six times and hitting iim five times. One shot broke one f Pam's legs, he was hit in the oth er leg, in both arms, and one bullet imbedded itself in Pam's back. It is . r.c.il there. Pam told us this morning. Pam is weak in one leg from the wound" he received, and he cannot close one hand. All of this happened in town in 1916." Andrew at once left for a bet t ter place to stay. He was heard of ' k?nce in Richmond, Va., where"he was employed during the war in a boiler factory. He was helping along with shooting the Germans then. For some reason he was not arrested at once, and fte movea on. i\otmng more was heard of him until a short time ago. Mr. James M. Cox, of Troy, was at Greenwood and had occasion to go to jail to see some party in" trouble, and he recognized Andrew. He spoke to Andrew but Andrew had forgotten that he was once called by that name. The jailor informed Mr. Cox that he bad the wrong name, and that he was talking to Will Johnson. Will, ' he said, wa.s in jail charged with rob bing a dead negro?the one who was killed at a C. & W. C. crossing in Greenwood sometime ago. But Mr. Cox was "well acquainted" with An drew, and informed the officer that be was wanted in Abbeville for shoot ing Pam. Chief Johnson went over to Green wood yesterday and returned with 'Andrew. Andrew did not enjoy his reception in the City Court this morn ing. He stood with a hung head as Pam told how his olt^ friend fired on him the'six times. Pam knew no rea-j son why Andrew shot him except lhat "he just had a pistol." "I don't think he would have shot me if he hadn't had the pistol.' Pam explained, which seemed altogether probable. Mayor Mars fined Andrew $50.00 c.' gave him a working permit^ for 30 days in lieu of the $50.00 for car rying the pistol. He stated that as the ihooting case would be tried in the upper court, he would not take jur isdiction of that, but would allow Andrew to tell the judge of the big court how it happened.

HOW EL TORA GOT ITS NAME There is an interesting legend connected with the name of this lo cality "Toro Point." It is said that 1 when the great Roosevelt visited the Isthmus, he' insisted on being taken to Fort Sherman. As he set his foot / on the dock, he exclaimed, "What a bully "place!" The Panamanian pres dent, delighted, then and there de clared that yie point of land should be so named. The President, ever courteous, feplied that he would agree, but that the name should be bestowed in native Spanish. And it was so done, as all who read a Span ish dictionary may see.?The Cari bbean Sentinel. PART OF CHESTER VOTES INTO YORK Territory Embracing Seventy-Five C M:i f A ^4Utfrc "iiica uucs vvcr.

FIGURES GIVEN BY LABOR LEADER Morrison Discusses Question of Im migration?Files His Objection ? Washintgon, Jan. 11.?Pi-otection for the American laborer from for eign "imports" on an equality with fVio ap<*nrr?pH Amprican products by tariff laws was asked of the senate immigration commit tee today by Frank Morrison, sec retary of the American Federation of Laiboir. Mr. Morrison added that the position of the federation was that of straightout protection, with out any reservation, for a period of two years from alien labpr. "We object," said Mr Morrison, "to throwing the doors wide open, flooding the American labor market with cheap European labor and de nying the American worker the same protection you give his pro ducts under the tariff laws." The federation secretary told the committee that reports just re ceived from labor officials in 141 cities showed the total number of unemployed in those places to be 1, 819,272, and said he would not QP+i'two+n wlioit f.nfjil nf all uaic V^OUllUU 11 1IMV WMV ?V?W. w* the cities would show." Figures were submitted by Mr. Morrison, showing the unemployed in Great New York to be 300,000; Detroit, 150,000;* Philadelphia, 205,000; Baltimore, 20,000; Chica go, 200,000; Cleveland, 118,000; St. Louis, 40,000; Boston, 50,000; Milwaukee, 40,000; San Francisco, 15,000; Seattle, 9,000, and Pitts burgh 20,000. "It is a high crime," Mr. Morri son continued,' 'for any man in the! face of these figures to advocate the bringing of millions of men from Europe and add them to the J number of unemployed already here. The flood is ready to come. Official figures of the labor depart ment show that 1^01,000 came in Oc tober and 103,000 in November. Eliminating those who returned to] Europe, these figures would mean a1 net immigration of 784,000 a year.' | Mr Morrison declared the Ameri can workman was entitled to "sus-. I taining employment," and that he j ; could not get this as long as the I doors were open to the Europeans. He ^contended' that the American supply in Florida, where cigar man ufacturers have asked to be permit I ted to bring in Cuban labor, was equivalent to the needs of the cigar factories. Statements to the con trary, he said, were "libelous and absolutely false." Secretary Morrison was preceded on the stand by a delegation of bus iness men, representing construc tidn industries and manufacturers throughout the country. John Wig gins of Pennsylvania, leader of the delegation, opposed the Johnson bill and declared argument that a "flood of Europeans was imminent" were "absolutely fallacious." He asked for modification or eli mination of literacy tests and con tract restriction laws. U. S. MAKES A BIG LOAN TO GREEK GOVT. Athens, Jan. 13.?-It was announc ed here today the United States gov ernment had /consented to advance to the Greek government $38,000,000 already pr&mised Greece when M. Venizelos was prime minister, but up on the condition that the money be spent in America for non-war mate rial. Must First Get Recognition. Washington, Jan. 13.?State and treasury officials were unable to ex plain today the announcement in Athens that the balance of a $38,000 000 credit granted to the former Greek government had been made available to the Constantine govern ment. There had been no change as to the status of the funds, it was said at both departments. Pending formal recognition of the new Greek gov ernment, it was said, the balance of $33,000,000 would remain in the treasury. The credits were granted at the time France and Great Britain made similar arrangements in like amount to aid the former Greek\government. On the recall of King Constantine by the Greek people, however, France and Great Britain stopped payment on ^unexpended balances and the treasury balance became inaccessible to the new government pending its i recognition. 1 | I I Addition and vanadium is said to I increase the strength of steel by a ! bout 45 per cent. * | * / DRIVE TO COME ?

This announcement was made late today at Ellis Island by Leo Russell chief deporting agent of the immi gration service. Sweeping orders for such a round up have been issued at Washington and a special force is to be assign ed to the work, Mr. Russell said. E. M.
