INQUIRY
Governor Bickett Answers New
York Paper's Telegram
Mensag Said It Had Been Intimated
That Politic Would Hinder In
vestigation of the Death of
Sirs. Maude Kins.
Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 10. Replying to
a New York paper which telegraphed
him that it had been intimated politics
wouldhinder a proper investigation
into the circumstances surrounding the
mysterious killing of Mrs. Maude King,
wealthy New York and Chicago widow,
which occurred near Concord, N. C, on
August 29.-- Governor Bickett has for
warded the following message:
"Have just read your telegram of
September 10 relative to investigation of
death of Mrs. King in Concord. Im
mediately after hearing from the au
thorities in Chicago regarding post
mortem examination of the body of
Mrs. King,-the attorney general of this
State instructed the solicitor of the
district, who is the prosecuting offi
cer, to make a thorough investigation
of the affair. The solicitor immediate
ly went to the scene of the death of
Mrs. King and is personally conducting
the investigation. Any intimation that
. the courts', of this State will permit
politics to influence them in the per
formance of .their duty is a gratuitous
slander of North Carolina."
WERE 0 DEVELOPMENTS I
THE MYSTERY YESTERDAY
Charlotte; N. C., Sept. 10. There were
no developments today in the mystery
surrounding the death near Concord
on August 29th of Mrs. Maude A. King.
Solicitor Hayden Clement said tonight
that he had' seen nothing of the Rob
insons, brothers of Mrs. King, who
were reported to be on their way to
Salisbury from Chicago with an at
torney to ' confer' with him about the
case. Mrs. " Maaizie Melvin, sister of
the slain woman, is still a guest in the
Means home.
TOBACCO MARKET GLUTTED
Lenoir Farmers Asked to Delay Mar
keting For the. Present.
"(Special Star Correspondence.)
' Kinston, N. C Sept. 10. Indications
today were that the planters of this
part of the tobacco belt would heed
the advice of market experts here to
slack up in the marketing of their yel
low product "to save the market;"
in other words, to forestall a serious
slump in prices that might result from
the taxing of the city's facilities.
Warehousemen expect no such business
as was had last week, when every
factory, storage place and sales house
in Kinston- was piled high with the
weed.
Every effort is being made to clear
the congestion that still exists, more
than 48 hours after the last sales of
last weak, held " Friday evening. To
bacconists today reiterated that the
farmers can control- the market and
that the matter is entirely up to them-.
The banks' handled the financial end
of last week's record business with
admirable efficiency, it became known
today. These institutions, in the best
condition in the ,history of Kinston,
"measured up grandly to the require
ments made of them," the market
leaders assert. . .
RUSSIAN EMIGRANTS NABBED
FOR SEDITIOUS UTTERANCES
Petrograd Government to Check Inflow
of Undesirables.
Harbin. ' Manchuria, ' Aug. 9. (By
Mail) Forty Russian emigrants from
America have been arrested and de
tained here because of their seditious
statements and efforts to incite an
archy.
The detention of these agitators in
dicates a determination on the part of
the Petrograd government to check
the inflow of undesirables to Russia.
Since the overthrow of the emperor,
a constant stream of agitators from
the United States has been moving
along the trans-Siberian railway to
ward Petrograd. Many of these Were
irresponsible persons, who have been
bitter in the denunciation of America
as well as in the criticism of the Rus
sian provisional government.
Many of the anarchists have ad
dressed soldiers, urging them to throw
away their arms, ignore officials and
loot shops. The effect of such agita
tion has been baneful in cities like
Harbin. Reports of hold-ups have
been frequent.

but llj acres. On it this summer he
grew corn, tobacco and cotton, plant
ing every available vard of e-rmmri
He has made $600 or $700 from tobacco

curings. A comparatively small part
of the farm was planted in Lady Nic

AT UNIVERSITY TODAY
Larse Number of Students Expected,
Although Total Will Be Somewhat
" Reduced.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
Chapel Hill,. Sept. 10. The registra
tion of students begins at the Uni
versity of North Carolina Tuesday,
morning with prospects for a most
successful session, in spite of the drain
made on the student body by the pre
paration for war. Though the total
attendance will be somewhat reduc
ed, the University still expects a large
enrollment, and the freshman class
will fall little, if any, behind the large
class of last year.
The formal opening of the session
arid the first classwork will come on
Thursday, September 13. At the open
ing exercises in Memorial Hall Presi
dent Graham will address the student
body. Many new faculty changes and I
additions will' then be announced.

ty have been called to Various war
pots, and have been granted leaves of
absence until' after the war.
Two hundred or more students are
already on the Hill, arid as mary more
will 'come' in today. The first faculty
meeting of the year was held today.
.The . abandonment of intercollegiate
football this fall will make many ad
justments necessary in college athlet
ics for the first term, but freshmen
football and the interclass, games will
serve as a substitute. It is now plan
ned to have the usual series of basket
ball and possibly baseball games.

fere with the promotion or selectior
