? . ' I I _ ????^ LI, NUMBER S2. , XEWBERRY, S. C., TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1913. TWICE A WEEK, $LSO A TEAR. GOV. B1EASE HONORS GOV. SULZER'S DEMAND REQUISITION GRANTED FOR ALLEGED WIRE TAPPERS. Governor Blease Refuses to Consider Writ of Habeas Corpus Taken Out Kefore Judge DeVore. Columbia, April 19.?Gov. Blease this afternoon honored feequisition papers from Governor Sulz-er, of New York, for Albert A. Carter and Frank - Tarbeaux, who are wanted in New York, for alleged wire tapping. The men were turned over to Gotham po * - -1- of AUPP lice officers, wno iook IUCU1 a l u.ivv | to New York. ? At the hearing Governor Blease said: "My position is this: Every requisition must stand or fall on its own merits. and they are governed by the na- \ rional and State laws which are pro- I vided. When the governor of one ? State asks that a requisition be honored by the governor of another State, that particular case stands upon its own merits. When a party is held subject to the order of the governor, the courts haven't got anything to do ^.vith him until the governor grants the 05 T- "~ v?ovno tn th p requisition and amxes ms uamv w v? w . Tarrant, then it is a question for the paMifcp whether or not they will tak^ cut a writ of habeas corpus, going before i judge, but before that is done the order of any judge in the matter is simply a nullity. "Writ Not Binding.*' '/Now, when these men are brought h-ere today by my order, they are in the custody of Richland county, and a writ signed in Charleston county by Judge DeVore is not binding on Sheriff Martin?or rather. Deputy Poulnot, j " u~ rio-ht to in? i and Judge L>e\ure lias iiu ? struct me to turn these men loose or j to hold them or to do anything else j with them, and has no right to instruct1 Mr. Poulnot. ' "As to the papers from Governor j Sulzer's office, they are perfect; they! can't be attacked. Now, the only thing j 1 have to inquire into is, has a crime I been committed in the State of Xew J York under the laws of Xew York, and, j next, whether the parties before me are probably guilty of that crime. If so, it is my duty to grant the requisition. Political feelings and personal #~vu?or? have absolutely nothing to do iCCI-LI-lf,;, with it "A Piece of Trickery." "I am free to say that I do not like 1 this kind of practice. This thing is a piece of trickery worked up so if I do grant this requisition this man here, the agent of th-e State of New York, can be devilled and delayed by court I orders. That is all. I look at it that j way and I do not believe it is any+ V>in <-r olcp "Now, gentlemen, I am going to i grant this requisition. That settles it | ?without any further hearing. I do j not propose for technicalities or trick-1 ^ eries to control in my office. The requisition will be granted. They are your prisoners, Mr. Gegan. They are out of your hands, Mr. Sheriff. Mr. Pouinot, do not put your hands on those men any more. Unless the court interferes with you. Mr. liegan, ||^you ran start for X-cw York on the ^Miext train." A Ileisrinir Terminated. Having thus spoken, Governor : Hease terminated the hearing and ] ranted the requisition for .J. A. Kompson, alias Lewis Hall, arrested ^^^^^harleston under the name of Ai a. Carter and F. R Holmes, aJias I *ik Holman, alias Frank Tarbeaux. H^P'hen a writ of habeas corpus for HEhe prisoners, taken out before Judge ^rDeVore, of Charleston, before the hear7 ing, was handed to the governor by Attorney T. M. Mordecai, of counsel for the prisoners, the governor stated J that the court had no right to interfere until he had passed on the requisition and ordered Carter and.Tar' beaux turned over to Detectives Gegan, of District Attorney Whitman's office of Xew York, which was done. Dowsinp Set Free. There was no requisition for James A. Dowsing, the other one of the trio, and Detective Gegan told the governor he did not want him, whereupon Dowsing was set free by Governor X>iCa6c d orders it'*u lie .vas at once turned loose. Th-e other two men go j to New York to face a charge of grand j larceny in the first degree, being charged with filching some citizens out of thousands of dollars by m^ans of a f^ke horse race through pool room betting. Acting on orders from Governor J Bli.asc the three alleged wire tapp-ers j who had been arrested in Charleston j were brought here today by the Char- j leston officers for a hearing on the re-! quisition which had been drawn on Governor Blease by the New York j governor. The hearing was scheduledj for 1 o'clock .Uid promptly at that hour the three pr? oners in charge of Deputy Sheriff Poulnot nnd Rural Police-; man Burton, were brought before the j governor. Messrs. T. M. Mordecai, of f Charleston, and George R. Rembert. j of Columbia, were present represent- j intr the nrison-?rs, while Solicitor W.: iH. Cobb appeared for the State of; South Carolina, at the request of the ; attorney general. Detective Gagen i and Detective McKenna of the Xew; York police department, were also! present. FOR COLLECTOR OF PORT. W. J. Stroren Recommended to Succeed E. W. Durant. Charleston, April 21.?Mr. William | J. Storen has been recommended for j collector of port at Charleston to sue- j ceed Mr. Edward W. Durant, Jr., whose ! four-year term expired on Thursday, according to advices from Washington Sunday night. The recommendation has been forwarded to the president by Secretary of the Treasury William i tit Tt is thmisrht in Washing-! " aUVX\UV/V. & v V?w - ton that he nomination will be sent; i to tne senate early this week and that! confirmation will be prompt, since j Senator Tillman is understood to be! supporting Mr. Storen. For some time it has be?n rumored ; that Mr." Storen would be appointed, if; the vacancy were to be filled before j July 1, the date for reorganization of! customs service in conformity to the executive order signed by Presi-; dent Taft just before the end of his j term in the white house. Had the appointment been postponed Congress-1 man Whaley would probably have! given a hearing before a decision was I reached by the secretary of the treasury. ** ? * " r\f Vole was ivir. i luraut. n ^inunait ui >u>vi ? , appointed by President Taft to sue-J ceed Dr. William H. Crum, the negro collector, who was sent by Mr. Taft to Monrovia, Liberia, as minister of the United States. During Mr. Durant's tenure, the business of the office has been steadily growing. Mr. Storen is president of the Charleston Abatoir and Stock Yards com- j pany. m t-* - -il _& w? r Tl Tliit/ihinfimi In Pn. i Ufa III UI JH. .1. I'. ? lnmbia. The State, 21st. J. D.

A number of the owners of automobiles have already offered the use of their cars, and I am expecting to secure mor* cars if it is necessary. What I wa,iit to know now is, the names of the teachers who want a way provided for thpm The oars will start from the court house promptly at 9.30 o'clock on Saturday morning. This will give opportunity for the teaehers from Prosperity and Little Mountain an<* that section to come up on the morning train in time to get th-e automobiles for the trip to Whitmire, but I cannot promise to provide a way unless I hear at once from the teachers who desire , to go. If your school has closed we will be glad to have you join the party anyway. V / "In speaking of the meeting some. time ago T stated that Miss Chappell would have her domestic ience department to prepare quic. luncheon for the teachers. I did this without consulting Miss Chappell, and I have just received the following letter from her in regard to the meeting, ond I am sure the teacehrs will prefer the arrangement she has made: "The pressure of many school duties has prevented me writing you ?.bout the :eachers''meeting on Saturday. The ladies of the town and neighborhood lave offered to serve a picnic umuci for the visitors on Saturday.
