For the past few weeks The Observer has been annoyed by the theft of papers delivered to sub scribers in different sections of the city. The regular carriers have been spoken to time after time but com plaints that no paper was delivered have been persistent. Sunday morning an Observer man made the rounds on the Fourth Ward route and caught Clarence Zigler, the 11-year-old son of John Zigler, picking up paper after paper from the door steps of homes he pass ed. The boy when approached had four Observers under his arm and a warrant was sworn out against him charging him with removing Observers from certain homes. This morning the case came up for trial before Recorder Smith. Attorney W. S. O'B. Robertson, Jr., prosecuted along with City So licitor John A. Parker in behalf of The Observer and the State. Clar- ence was found guilty and his father, who was in the court room, was di rected to administer a thrashing in the presence of Chief of Police T. M. Christenbury. This was promptly and gladly done and the youngster's cries could have almost been heard to In dependence Square. Recorder Smith continued the case, withholding his judgment. It will be re-opened the first time young Zigler is brought into the court room again and the court announced its intention of sending him to the Jackson Train ing school near Concord if a repetition of the affair Sunday is reported.

It is with pleasure that we announce to our peo ple that we -expect to have our regu lar May meeting communion services at Point Caswell Presbyterian Church beginning next Saturday, May 11th. A sermon, preparatory to the com munion service will be preached by the pastor at 11 A. M. A spread din ner will be expected at the church. After dinner we will take up about an hour in reciting passages of scrip ture, the catechism, and the song -ser vice. Then on next Sunday, May 12th, we expect to preach a sermon at 11 A. M., after which, we, will adminis ter the communion service. We are living in a busy age; men are too busy to take time to pray; too busv to attend the sanctuary in the week time; too busy to bury the dead; too busy to come apart a while to meditate on God and the great themes of eternity; but, brethren, did you ever stop long enough to think over the great fact tnat we must all take time to die? No man can say he is too busy or too important in this world to die. No man can say that his business, his mercantile work, or his farm is too pressing or important for him to spare enough of his time to die. Therefore, let us all come out to Caswell next Saturday and medi tate on a few things which pertain to our spiritual welfare. Kill the fatted calf, and come and go with us, we win do thee good. Preaching at Currie, N. C, on next Sunday, at 3:30 o'clock, under tne shade trees in the yard of Mr. W. R. Walker. E. B. CAKK. WAS IN THE POOL American Steel and Wire Company Was A Member New York, May 7. The American Steel and Wire Company, one of the biggest of the subsidiaries of the Unit ed States Steel Corporation, was a partner to pool agreements with oth er manufacturers whereby prices on United States government bids were fixed and the bids divided among the pool members. The testimony today was given d Samuel J. Bailey, of the office of E. E. Jackson, supervisor of the famous wire pools whose members were indicted and fined a year ago. Bailey acted as secretary of the Horse Shoe Manu facturers' Association, one of the sev en pools, and explained how the horse shoe business of the country was man aged. . In brief the rules of the Horse snoe Manufacturers' Association ffxed the price per keg at which all members of the association should sell horse shoes, prices being changed when necessary, the witness explained, at monthly meetings. Each member was allotted a certain percentage of the business and in case his monthly sales exceed ed his allotment he was to pay cash into the association equivalent to the amount of the excess. If they were less the association was to make up the difference. A deposited penalty of $1,000 was provided for violation of the rules. In the case of government Dids Bailey said Jackson selected the member who was to make the lowest bid and instructed other members to bid higher. Bills Introduced in Congress Reported Favorably Their Object. New York,' May 7. Bills to provide Federal (protection for migratory birds which were introduced in the United States Senate by Senator McLean and in the House of Representatives by Congressman Weeks, have both ibeen reported favorably out of committee. The former was considered by the Sen ate Committee on Forest Reserva tions and the Protection of Game, and the latter by the House Committee on Agriculture. In urging the necessity of this legis lation, the American Game Protective and Propagation Association, of 111 Broadway, New York city, says: Millions of dollars can annually be saved to the people of the United States by wise and conservative treat ment of the enormous natural re sources represented by our migrants. Under present conditions countless numbers of ducks, geese and shore birds are slaughtered at a time when every female killed means the destruc tion of a small flock. At all times the killing goes on at a rate that is out of all proportion to the natural increase "Mr. E. V. Visart, State game war den of Arkansas, reported in his en dorsement of the Weeks' bill that 90, 600 birds were sent from Mississippi county in one shipment on October lGth, 1911- According to the J me warden of Louisiana there were 4,265, 585 ducks, geese and shore birds killed in that State during the Winter of 1910 and 1911. "The favorable report on the Mc Lean bill by the Senate Committee contains the following: 1 'Game commissioners and other officials representing forty-three of the forty-eight States of the Union, to gether with some of the leading orni thologists of the country, appeared before your committee and their testi mony, bised upon years of experience and practical observation, was conclu sive of the fact that State control of migratory birds must, from the very nature of the surrounding tempta tions and conditions, end in failure.' "It is further pointed out in this re port that the annual loss to the coun try through insect pests amounts to from seven hundred and ninety-five to eight hundred million dollars. To hring home the significance of these figures the report -adds that: 'There are about six hundred colleges in the United States today. Their buildings and endowments have been centuries in accumulation. The value of the col lege and university buildings is esti mated at $260,000,000 and the endow ments at $219,000,000. If they should be destroyed tomorrow buildings and endowments the insect tax of one year would replace them and leave : balance sufficient to endow thirty-two new universities in the sum of ten million dollars each. " 'We have in this country today about twenty million school children, and the cost of their education has be come by far the heaviest tax laid upon the surplus of the country, yet it costs more by many millions to feed our in sects than it does to educate our chil dren. If there is any way in which thi9 vast and destructive tax upon the National income can be prevented or stayed or resisted in any appreciable measure, it would seem to be -e part of wisdom to act without delay." "In conclu-ion, the report says: 'All of the foregoing evidence goes to de monstrate the existence of a natural economic relation between these three orders of life vegetation, insects and birds. There is a sort of interdepend ence, and tne existence of each one is dependent upon the existence of the others. But for the vegetation the in ects would perish, and but for the in sects the birds would perish, and but for the birds, the vegetation would be shortly destroyed by the unchecked increase of insect destroyers. 'It is the earnest recommendation of your committee that the pending bill receive favorable consiaeration." GOLFERS ARRIVE FOR MEET President of the Carolina Association and Others Came Yesterday for the Tournament Will be' 100 Entries. Well known golfers from the lead ing cities of the Garolinas are arriv ing in the city on almost every train for the third annual tournament of the Carolina Golf Association, which will be held with Cape Fear Country Club Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this' week.

SHIPMENTS OF PIG IRON Steamer Taking on Cargo of Ore at Seaboard Terminals At the Seaboard Air Line terminals here the steamer Foxton Hall is re ceiving a cargo of pig iron, shipped to this port over the 'SJeaboard from points in 4 Alabama, to be trans-shipped to South America. The cargo will to tal probably over 1,000 tons. The ore is being shipped here by the United States Steel Corporation from its plant in Bessemer City, Ala., and already from 10 to 15 cars have been received. -It is estimated 'that nearly ,50 carloads will be loaded on the steamer. This shipqment of ore from the Ala bama mines, it is expected, is only the forerunner of an extensive export business in that line which will be oeveloped durinp- tha tw o- it is prophetic of the business to be done here upon the opening of the Panama canal. Bulk of.Kortune Goes .to Son Provi sion for Widow. New York", May 7. Counsel for the family made public last night the will of John Jacob Astor, a? drawn in this city in September, last, only a few days after his mvrriage to Miss Made line Talmage Force, and approximate ly seven months before he perished with thesinking of the Titanic. Vincent Astor, a son, who will come to age within tJjLe year, Is made the principal beneficiary and residuary legatee. No hint a to the value of the great estate is given, and by the creation of trust funds the testator has followed cs far as possible the cus tom of 'his forbears in keeping the vast Astor real estate holdings in tact. Valuations of tne estate run anywhere from $75,000,000 to vx50,000, 000. A close friend of the family said the smaller figure, in his opinion, is nearer the" eorrect estimate. Aside from provisions for Vincent Astor, the will provides for uncondi tional bequests of only $270,500 Among these there is but one of charitable nature. This is $30,000 to St. Paul's school, at Concord, N- H The remainder of the legacies are to relatives, friends and faithful servants. Nearly all other provisions of the will as made public, deal with the trust funds, of which there are three: $5, 000,000 for the young widow; $5,000,000 for the Colonel's young daughter, Mu riel, the child of his former wife, -and $3,000,000 for the expected posthu mous child of the present widow. Tnat latter clause provides for "each child which shall survive the testator other than his eon, William Vincent, and his daughter, Ava Alice Muriel." No provision is made for the wife who divorced him, and if the young widow dies or marries again, the $5,- 000,000 trust fund, together with the town house and other property left to her, revert to Vincent Astor. She re ceives, however, $100,000 outright, without further stipulation, and until the income from the trust fund shall become available, the trustees are "di rected to pay her an income of $200, 000 a year.

Faison Writes of Service Given Truckers.. Washington, D. C, May 2, 1912. Editor of the Star: Dear Sir: Having been much Inter ested for years" in fast trfcSn service for our splendid strawberry and trucking belt of Eastern North Caro lina, I read this part of your editorial in Tuesday's paper, entitled "Straw berry Diet for New Yorkers" with great pleasure: "The Coast Line people are doing their best to give the most efficient service and to meet the needs of the industry with the kest grourids for complaint. This season demonstrates the improved facilities, one season over another, for it seems that the transportation people are beating Un cle Sam' in reaching New York with the mails. In other words, the straw berry shipments get to New York ahead of the invoices that go by rmail. The grower who mails his invoice has to do it in a jiffy or else his berries will (be on the market before his in voice reaches his New York broker. For instance, here is what a broker writes to a Wilmington grower over Saturday: "The railroads are pulling your ship ments in here for the second day's market, or faster than the mail brings your invoices, so that we have to work 'in the dark' every night, and sort up the best we can, and it makes it very hard for the salesmen to sell every package of each mark at the same price." "The above shows that North Caro lina strawberries are making those New Yorkers lose sleep. However, as long as the season lasts there will be no rest for either the shippers or the growers, for the strawberry is a commodity which makes everyoody get a move on him. The StT-r get3 great satisfaction out of it by saying that we have the potential region for tremendous production and that the Atlantic Coast Line is determined to meet all the requirements of quick transportation. That is what positive ly makes Wilmington the center of the choicest section of the Nation's Garden Spot. "Indeed, ideal productivity, fine fa cilities, for marketing, and territorial nearness to the 'big markets is where eastern North Carolina gets the gold on haa nnn .? o .i Charges President With Attempt to I r.AAirA r.nnnrAee in I AMielariAn ians" ' a. ... -a.

A score or more of persons were injured when train No. 31, on the Southern Rail way, from Washington to Jacksonville, was derailed about three miles north of Columbia this morning at 8 o'clock. Two sleeping cars and the diner turn ed turtle. No persons were killed, but several were seriously injured. A relief train was sent to the scene of the wreck and this brought the injur ed to this city, many being carried to the Columbia hospital. Moat of the passengers were able to proceed to their homes or on their journeys to other cities. The train was a . six-ceach through train and was running at a good speed. The axle of one of the driving wheels suddenly snapped, the big roller fell under the engine, the track being torn up for a long distance and the cars following the engine were all derailed. Not a wheel was left on the track and when the last three coaches reach ed the torn up rails they turned over. The dining car and the last two sleep ers -were turned over, and the pas sengers crawled out of the windows and from between baggage and broken furnishings. The day coach, the com bination car and the express car were left standing, but they were derailed. One lady and one man had their ears cut off and bad cuts about the head and shoulders. Mr. Martin, of Washington, a native of this State, was en route from Washington to Springfield to attend the funeral of his mother. He was injured internal ly and had to be taken to a local hos pital. Five persons were en route to funerals. One woman had half a doz en children. She was badly bruised, but none of the children were hurt. The train was In charge of Conduc tor Dodd, of Charlotte. The train crew did good work in keeping fires down in 'the capsized diner and in aid ing passengers from the cars. Many came into the city with their heads tied up and lying on stretchers and cots.

Charlotte, N. C, May 7. The cen tral committee in charge of the prep aration for the 20th of May Celebra tion has closed a contract with the Lindsay Hopkins Aviation Company of Atlanta, for two aeroplane flights on each of the three days of the celebra tion, May 20th, 21st and 23rd. Of particular interest is the announce ment by the aviation company that Mr. Thornwell Andrews, a former Charlotte boy, -who has achieved fame m the world of aviation, will be the airman, Andrews having requested the assignment of his company. The two flights each day will be of. not less than half an hour's duration and many special stunts will be pulled off, including side trips to nearby towns. Satisfaction is guaranteed and the central committee is to be the! judge. The contract price for the flishts during the three days is $1,000, none --of which will be paid if the terms of the contract are not lived up to. The aeroplane flights will form the most spectacular and the most costly single attraction of the celebration, but arrangements for the other fea tures are rapidly being completed. The parades will be especially pleasing, while the music by a number of bands will also be a strong attraction. A carload of government flags contain ing in all 280. has been .secured from j Washington and wilf be used in the decorations. "Respectfully, "Z. M. L. JEFFREYS."

I was out as much as $200 for doctors bills. The doctors did me no good. The rheumatism got in my eyes, and I was not able to see any thing." So writes Mr. James R. Foster ot Long View, Texas, in a grateful letter to the Blood Balm Co. Almost despairing, he was per suaded to try Botanic Blood Balm.
