TIONS. Special to the Gazette.
Raleigh, Nov. 18. The
examining
board Of state institutions have com
pleted their work and presented a re
port to Governor Aycock. It makes
120 jprinted pages. This board is com
posed of Messrs. W. P. Wood, I. P.
Jetter and T. W. Patton. They have
been at work several months. This
committee was created toy the last leg
islature and ds to provide information
and facts about state institutions on
which the legislature will act at the
coming session, instead of sending leg
islative committees on hurried and
hasty trips to make investigations. The
report is very favorable to all the in
stitutions. It shows that North Caro
lina will not have to make as great
appropriations for state institutions as
did the legislature of two years ago.
More will be required for maintenance
and support, since the institutions
have all grown, but the saving will be
in permanent lm'pivvemtuto ucvueu.
The total appropriations by the last
leerislature amounted to over $700,000,
while this time the report of the board
recommends- only about $600,000 In to
tal appropriations. The difference be
tween what is necessary for this legis
lature to give and what the last legis
lature did is about $115,000. The iboard

appropriations xor peranaruenx improve

li case the legislature is able to do the
work. The recommendation far nerroa-
nent improvements is less than $75,000."
Of this sum the major ipart is 40,00O
for touildlngB at the A. ,&M. college to
suipplant those that were burned. The
council of state authorised the Txr row
ing of money to do this, and a sum
sufficient to pay back what was bor-
rowed is indudeoHn the.4oard's recom
mendations for permanent improve
ments. The state normal at Greens-,
boro gets $7,500 lor permanent improve
ments and the Insane asylum at Mor-.
gaiiton a small sum for building some
cottages. The tooard also recommends
putting dn waterworks for the Central
hospital for the insane here, and says
that more ground is needed for the
farm. The 'board is dn favor of cutting
off some of the colored norma! school
appropriation and concentrating this
work.

PRESIDENT LEAVES
"CAMP ROOSEVELT"
Smedes, Miss., Nov.
18. Camp
Rqpsevelt on the Little Sunflower was
abandoned at 6 o'clock this evening
and President Roosevelt departed with-
out having killed a bear, or even had
a shoot at one. Guide MacDougald
was the only one of the party who
killed a bear, and the carcass is now
in an ice toox being taken to Washing-
ton where it is Roosevelt's purpose
to have a bear dinner at the wane
House. The president is well satis
fled with his trip though, as he has had
a magnificent outing, and has enjoyed
personal meetings with southern plan
ters and business men.
He is charmed with their personality
and feels that he has come nearer to
understanding the southern point of
view on delicate ouestlons than he
could have got at ten thousand in
terviews at the White House. The
party were entertained tonight on pri-

New York, Nov. 18. Mrs Lena Dex
hermer, of Hoboken, a close acquain-
tanr nf Tmma niAmon n
cently one of the inner circle of an
anarchist group tetis a remarkable
story ofTplots to assassinate President
Roosevelt. Ths woman was reppntlv
converted at Hoboken in the First
Methodist church and her confession
made to her pastor, Rev. Charles
Meade. The woman says she held ac
tive relations with the anarchists for
nineteen years and knew of their plans.
In her statement she says the anar
chists first planned to assassinate
Roosevelt on November 15, 1&01, at
the Yale bicentennial at New Ha
ven. A Frenchman named Blelor was
the anarchist chosen to do the deed.
He arrl-yeo. on a Re(J Tjne. steamship

LONG DRAWN OUT
Scranton, Pa., Nov. 18 Another-large
crowd was in attendance today when
tho arbitration committee began its
fourth day's sitting. Mr. Mitchell, who
has been on the stand since last Fra-
day, took his place in the witness box
! and his cross-examination by Wayne
MacVeagh, for the Erie company, was
resumed. It was the general opinion
,of attorneys today that some arrange
ment will have to toe made to shorten
the inquiry. At the rate progress is
now being made it will take many
weeks to hear 'both sides to the con
troversy. If counsel takes no action it

were not given out for publication. He
also filed a statement of the non-union
demands which were published this
morning. '
Mr. MacVeagh, in resuming his cross
examination said he would be glad to
get an expression as to the influence
of acts of violence upon the temper and
disposition of union men said to have
been committed by them. The witness
said that he would not assume that the
acts of violence were true. "If," said
he, "Forest City," which had been re
ferred to. "would be an an example of
all towns and cities in the. anthracite
field, it would indicate that we were
a very law-abiding, religious people."

"The question," Mr. MacVeagh said,
"is whether or not you have takeav the
proper method to prevent a repetition
of violent acts when they ha?e oc
curred." He did not care, he said, toy whom
these were committed. "What I am
trying to show," he continued, "is that
there is a growing Bpirit of violence
and disregard of law in your organi-
f . J- i .
caiiiMi aim mux your mnuence over
them is insufficient to keep them law
abiding and peaceable as you desire
them lo be."
Under this arraignment of the union,
Mt. Mitchell retained his complete
wmpwure. j.ne question met with a
ready response.
"The fear that my influence," said
he, "is not sufficient to deter men from
the commission of crimes is a contra
diction of the claims often; made about
me."
He was free to say that some men
"vC uccu ueierreu irom going to work
because of violence, but the strike it
self lost more in public opinion by
reason of that than it could possible
gain.
The cross-examiner and the witness
then plunged into a spirited colloquy
over the question of whether one man
has a right to prevent another man
from selling his labor. The best answer
Mr. MacVeagh could draw from the
miners' chief was that he did not ap
prove of any one committing an un
lawful act.
Mr. MacVeagh read a statement re
garding the right to strike as belong-
ng to the personal freedom of work
ingmen .
He also took the view that 1
in exercising that freedom those who
cease to work must not interfere with i
the liberty of others who wish to work.
"We do not want anarchy," said Mr.
Mitchell, "and that is anarchy pur
and simple the right of every man
to do absolutely as he pleases regard-
less of its effect on society."
"This is the language of a very care
fully disguised anarchy," said Mr. Mac
veagh, "because it is the language of
Archbishop Ireland.
"Archbishop Ireland never expected it
to be used in that sense. I might say
Archbishop Ireland is a member of a
committee of which I am also a mem
ber, which has declared for a trade
union idea"
Answering a further question, Mr.
Mitchell declared that if Archibishop
Ireland's statement meant that men
have no right to picket, he di&agreer;
with him. Mr. Mitchell added that he
ma not Know max tne arcnoisnop was
5 1 1 A 1 x 1 1 . m 1 1
regarded as a supreme court on trade
union matters.
The council and the witness wande
ed from the rules in the cross-exam
ination and indulged in argument over
the propriety of any one criticising acts
and decisions of courts.
Mr. MacVeagh thought it was wrong
to follow such a course and that it
tends to toreed anarchy. Mr. Mitchell
as a rule are fair, tout he regretted that
in me wuioe ji. mo rApcmciiuc iie iiitu
found some judges against labor. He
'r: gu vu-
ginia, who, he -said, had made a great
many serious reflections on men who
gave up their lives to the cause of la
bor. He added that there were no an
archists in the trade unions.
Replying to Mr. MacVeagh's ques
tions regarding union men belonging to
the national guard, Mr. Mitchell said
no "local" in his union had ever ex
pelled a man from the union for toe
longing to the guard and that no na
don-e such a thing. A little union in
New York state, he said, had taken
such action and it -had been heralded
over the country. He was not respon
sible for what some other organizations
did
Mr. MacVeagh concluded his cross
examination at this point.
Francis R. Gowen, representing the
Lehigh VaJley Coal company, followed
Mr. MacVeagh and questioned Mr.
Mitchell regarding his comparison of
wages paid in the bituminous fields as
against those paid in the anthracite.
