URlIy showed Btronger In every de

sourceful. They seemed to taunt the
Athletics with their speed and when
the game was at an end few there
were would not say that the best
team won.
Mathewson probably never pitched a
game of ball which showed his wis
dom and his amaing craft to the
same degree. While it cannot be
said that he made the Athletics
look any weaker than the big Chip
pewa made the Giants appear at
times, certain it is that his craft was
too subtle for Mack’s men. He was,
as always, at his best In the pinches.
He carried the youngsters behind
him along by the sheer impetus ot
his wonderful work, and only the
hardest kind of work could have
cheated him of a victory.

Spencer, Oct. 14.—Fire caused from
the bursting of an oil feed pipe al
most completely destroyed the South
ern Railway’s large blacksmith shop
in Spencer this morning at ten o’clock.
The entire fire departments from
Spencer and East Spencer and every
available piece of hose were pressed
into service. The first department
from Salisbury was also called and re
sponded with promptness.
Earl Goodman, a young helper in
the blacksmith shop, was seriously
burned by oil from the bursted feed
pipe. He was carried to the White-
head-Stokes Sanitarium where medi
cal attention was rendered. Imme
diately after being burned he jumped
into a barrel of water to save him-
sell.
On account of the falling timbers
It was Impossible for the firemen to
get inside of the building and for this
reason they were considerably handi
capped.
The loss to the building and nia-
chlnery is ronservatively estimated at
about 120,000.

San Francisco, Oct. 14.—When Pres
ident Taft, with spade of gold, turned
up a clod of earth in Golden Gate
Park here today, constructive work
on the Panama Pacific exposition,
which is to open in 1915, was initiat
ed. From now on the immense fair
grounds, lying in the most picturesque
part of San Francisco, off the blue
Pacifis, will take tangible form.
If the prophecies of Governor John
son and Charles C. Moore, president
of the exposition, come true—and leave
it to the progressive spirit of San
Francisco for that^— the exposition of
1915 will be the most gigantic the
world has seen.
Gala Time.
All California entered with zest
into the occasion and San BYancisco
was crowded with a rollicking exur-
berant throng bent upon making a
gala time of it. As a launching of
the great underUking that San Fran
cisco has on its hands, it must be
said that the event today was filled
with a spirit that cannot fail to impart
energy to t ^ > whole enterprise. The
Panama Pacific exposition starts with
a swing that insures signal success to
aggressive California, which worked
so hard to bring it to this city.
100,000 Strangers.
Probably 100,000 strangers were In
town today to participate in the festiv-
Ities. They thronged the streets, with
San Francisco’s populace, and cheered
President Taft as he rode through the
streets to the huge stadium In Golden
Gate Park. In the serriated seats of
the stadium were 25,000 people and
down in the tremendous pit below
stood fully 100,000 more. It was an
Impressive sight, the like of
San Francisco has never witnessed be-

by Madame Nordica, V‘

’ iWJot - fountain, OCt. 14.—The pre-
liiaiinary trial of Thomas W. Kallam
on tiie cliarge of the murder of Henry
G.'Whitaker, in this town, on the morn
ing of, Oetaber 12, did not open until
1:30 thl^?0.fteriioon. It was due to be-
g:in at iS;-o'clock but the train from
WinstoiitSalem, on which one of the
counsel for the defiense came, was late
in arriving.
The.ca^ is being heard in the town
hall, a'room about 8 by 12. It is pack
ed, the crowd numbering something
like two^ hundred people. They are
sitting on the stove, chairs, railings,
etc. Intense interest is being manifest
ed" in the proceedings.
The three magistrates, are Justices
A. S.. Key, J. K. Fulk and'James Ben
nett. The state is represented by Mr.
Johp H. Folger, of Mt. Airy, Mr. W.
F. Carter, of Mt. Airy, and Mr. J. C.
Buxtori, Qf Winstdn‘Salem, are looking
after tiie interests of the defendant.
Mr. Buxton is conducting the cross-ex
amination. The state has about fifteen
witnesses sworn..
-Mr.’J. i).‘Rogers, of Winston-Salem,
was the first witness examinted. He tes
tified that he was in Pilot Mountain
on the' morning of Wednseday, October
12 ; that he wis pn the street just after
8 o’clock and saw the defendant Kall
am going up Main street,, near Napier’s
store; thit he saw Henry Whitaker
coming from the opposite direction
and that judging from the expression
on his face he appeared to be very
much 'Worried about something; that
when the two men met he heard Whit
aker say something, in att undertone
but did hot ufiderstahd what he said.
He heard Kallam holler, -‘Spop!” Wit
ness said he didn’t see the pistol, but
heard a pistol shot. He saw v\^hitaker
fall forward and then turn on his back.
After the shdoting Kallum walked off
five or six steps , and then went back
near the body. He did that several
times and then walked away, but stop
ped when called and told to consider
himself" under arrest.
At the time the two men met wit
ness ^Id' he did ndt notice Whltakfer’s
hands and could not t®^l whether he
^ad a knife, but that he did have a
strap In his left hand; After the wit
ness discovered that Whitaker was
dead, he,looked at the.body and found
a knife lying between his left arm and
breast! It ;was a large barlow, and a
toife handed to the witness by counsel
was ideatifled as being the one seen
with Whitaker.
N^o new evidence was brought out
In the crasB;examinatlon.
Mr. S. B. Brown was the second
witness. His testimony was practical
ly the- M?ne as .that related by Mr.

from a dtstaaifce of aboutHfty feet and
