MURDERED BY THE TURKS
About 100,000 Catholics Are Reported
to Have Been KUled.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
Raleigh, N. C, April 15. While there
is the greatest reticence on the part of
the. members of the board of trustees
as to the status of the pending elec
tion of a successor to Dr. D. H. Hill as
i president of A. & M. College; it devel
ops that there are a half dozen promi
nent college men in and out of tho
State who are still under serious con
sideration in addition to the three
members of the faculty who are being
urged for selection. These include Dr.
W. L. Poteat, president of Wake For
est College; Prof. M- H. Stacy, of the
chair of engineering, University of
North Carolina; Dr. C. H. Herty, of the
chair of chemistry, University of North
Carolina; Dr. Louis Smith, formerly of
Davidson College, and now president
of Washington & Lee, and Dr. Deney,
of the University of North Carolina.
The members of the faculty who
have been urged are Prof. W. C. Rid
dick, of the chair of engineering; Dr.
W. A. Withers, of the chair of chemis
try, and Dr. T. P. Harrison, of the
chair of English. ,
During the meeting yesterday there
was a sharp argument about an alleg
ed necessity to eliminate the members
of the faculty proposed on the ground
that to elect either of the three pro
fessors proposed, no matter how great
their ability, would cause friction that
would be disastrous to the college' life.
They were not eliminated, but it is un
derstood that this argument against
the selection of either of them contin
ues to be a live factor in the election
.process, the culmination of which is to
be at the annual meeting in May is
connection with the commencement. A
special committee consisting of O. Max
Gardner, W. E. Daniel, Paschall .Boyd,
C. W. Gold and W. H. Ragan is to
make special investigation of the fit
ness of any and all those still being
considered for the presidency.
' Corporation Commissioner W. T. Lee
was a candidate for State office who
' registered today with the State Board
of Elections ;for the State-wide pri
maries., He seeks re-election for a sec
. ond term, pleading that during his first
term he has given the official duties
the same careful consideration that he
gave hid private business affairs before
entering the service of the State. In
. registering his candidacy Mr. Lee says:
"I presume that the people of the
State understand; that ' I am now serv
ing my first term. - I have given to the
office of Corporation Commissioner dur
ing my first term the same careful at
tention that, in . my more than thirty
years of business experience I gave
to my private business.- The Commis
sion should have at all times in its
membership a man of mature business
experience. It is generally accepted as
wise policy to re-nominate an official

In a- telegram from Cologne the cor
respondent of the Tijd says:
"Catholic ecclesiastical authorities in
Germany have received from an au
thoritative source in the Catholic mis
sion trustworthy information that more
than 1,000,000 Armenians have been
murdered b ythe Turks -nrough starva
tion or ill-treatment. About 100.000
Catholics were among(them, including
lour bishops."
The message concludes:
"Popular feeling among the Armen
ians was roused against the Turks by
the British."

Southport, N. C, April 15. West of
this city forest fires have burned with
considerable fury during the past three
days. From a point at Beaver, Dam,
about five miles west, the fire has
swept down to Dutchman's creek, a
distance of three miles. Farmers in
that section have had to work with the
utmost endeavor to save property, be
sides the timber on such tracts as the
Cools. The fire at last accounts had
burned to the Swains. At this time no
estimates as to actual losses can be
made.
In the shift of wind here yesterday
evening, Southport came in the "direct
line with the course ot wind from the
flaming timber lands, and while the
fire was several miles distant, there
was felt the heat that was more than
noticeable from any weather change.
Your correspondent, living in. the mid
dle west section of this city, ;took spe
cial note of the temperature, ."which
went from 73 to 83 degrees within an
hour. There was some smoke at the
same time, but the sudden rise in tem
perature was felt aL over this place,
and it was uncomfortably hot, until the
wind went to a point that brought
Southport out of the direct line of the
flaming woods. .

reached the velocity of a cyclone, cou
pled with the general dryness or East
ern Carolina, come reports of heavy
fire losses in many sections wn. v,
greatest damage which has been done
10 me lorests and the standing timber
may reach the half a million mark and
even greater. The general use of fire
in cleaning up about the farms, coupled
with the .unexpected high winds of tile
past 18 hours, has served to start
forest fires in many sections.
At Pantego a lighted brand from a
burning wood nearby set fire to the an
cient St. James Episcopal church, one
of the oldest churches in Beaufort
county, and the building was burned
to the ground with a loss of $10,000. At
Terraciea the winds fanned flames from
a burning wood upon the handsome
new residence of Mr. Ralph Howell and
inis nome, wnn ail the outhouses, sta
bles and servants' quarters, was de
stroyed. The loss of Mr. Howell Is be
tween 14,000 and J5.000, with no in
surance. From Roper, N. C., - this
morning members of a train' crew
brought news that the mammoth stor
age yards and mlil of the Roper Lum

their train arrived there a few minutes
later it would have been impossible for
it to have gotten past for many hours

had gone. He went to Greenville and
other nearby cities hunting for work,
but could not find any. Yesterday
morning he went to Grimesland and
visited all of the mercantile estab
lishments there, asking for a position.
His efforts were again unsuccessful. J.
L. Edwards, - taking, pity on his eyi
dent distress, invited him to his home.

in Wilmington asking . for a position
there and requesting an immediate an

to Mr. Cox, at Blount's CJreek, where
his wife and children are . staying.
