By Associated Press
Charleston, 8. C., Oct. 15. Sidney:
J. Cohen, a newspaper reporter, was.
killed and four men shot in a melee
that occurred here to-day just outside
the room where the Democratic City
Excutive committee, was to meet to,
canvass the returns of the muncipal i
primary last Tuesday.
Joseph Black, of the Democratic ex
ecutive committee Is reported to have I
been shot in the abdomen. It is re-;
ported he is dead but hospital authori
ties refuse to confirm this.
A man named Wingate is said to
have been seriously, if not fatally j
•wounded.
It is said the shooting occurred at |
the moment set for calling the meet- 1
lng of the executive committee to or-1
der, and that the box containing the;
ballots cast in Tuesday's primary,
which were to be canvassed by the
committee was thrown into the street.
Hitter Fight
The Democratic municipal primary|
developed into such a bitter factional
tight between the adherents of Mayor|
John P. Grace and Tristam T. Hyde,
running at the head of the tickets, that
serious trouble was feared. Represen
tations made to Governor Manning by
the sheriff and members of the Demo
cratic executive committee resulted in
the Governor ordering four compan
ies of militia and three divisions of
naval militia held at their armories
as a precautionary measure.

Secretary of Treasury
Gets Estimates of Big
Appropriations Needed
By Associated Press
Washington. Oct. 15.—Estimates of
government expenditure for the next
fiscal year totaling about $1,240,000.0011
and the largest ever submitted in time
of peace were to be presented to-day to
the secretary of the treasury.
This was 'he day specified under the
law for submitting the estimates, al
though there is no penalty attached
for failure to do so. Most«of the mem
bers of the cabinet worked until a late
hour last night in order to be ready
with the estaimats for their depart
ments.
The extraordinarily large sum of
money which Congress will he asked to
appropriate for running the govern
ment is due to the prospective big in
crease In the administration s program
of national defense and to the unusual
conditions resulting from the Euro
pean war.
The estimated increase for national
defense alone aggregates about $l5O
- while burdens entailed on ac
count of the war will require an in
crease of about $1,300,000 for the
State Department. Estimates for the
other departments, except State, war
and navy and possibly commerce are
about the same as last year. Secre
tary Redfield. it was believed, would
ask for funds for extending
American trade abroad.

day, Friday and Saturday, citizens of!
| th* old town will observe the birth of '
i the place the.v call their home.
But the observance of the town's
birth is not all that is being arranged
ij for. The dedication of a modern con
crete building, the new home of the
l Good Will Fire Company, No. 1, will
| be the feature of the affair, and proh

Organise Fire Company
| Quite a few yef-.rs ago a number of
'.citizens of the town got together and |
• j organized .a fire company. The best,
i home obtainable in which to house the j
] apparatus was an old shed. That has:
been in service now for a long time, j
| A few months ago members of tho
. 1 organization believed they had enough |
; money in their treasury to build a
j modern home, and so plans were
out. A plot of ground was
i purchased adjoining the borough 1
■ schoolhouse and work on the new!
building was started. With the excep- ;
j tion of a little work on the interior the i
i structure Is now completed nnd on !
| Friday afternoon. October 22, it will!
jbe dedicated. While plans for dedi
cating the new building were being |
made it occurred to the firemen that
the town was 100 years old, so a dual j
celebration was proposed.
