Alleged denunciation and threats of Impeachment of two federal 'judges of North Carolina have been accred ited to United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue Ho all E. Cabell of Washington," D. C, by attorneys in this city who represent N. Glenn Wil liams of Wilmington, N. C. The de nunciation and threats are ' said to have been made against Judge J. C. Pritchard of Ashevllle and Judge J. 'E. Boyd of this city In connection with whisky cases In which they have made rulings recently. The mllngs which called for the al leged criticism were made when the government threatened to Sell 28,000 gallons of whiskey belonging to N. Glenn Williams, that were stored in a warehouse at Williams. Government men were rcstalned fro mselling the whiskey by Judges Pritchard and Boyd when this was threatened for the collection of a revenue tax. Ex Judge Bynum and Strudwlck repre sented Williams and their, argument was based on the statement that the Kale- of the whiskey as proposed by the government would not bring near the worth of It. Now a supplementary complaint has been made before Judge James E. Boyd by the government through the district attorney.. A. E. Holton, this having been done Saturday. It was at this time Judge Bynum, represent ing Williams, addressed the court and told of the reports of denuncia tions and threats of Impeachment by the United States commissioner of In ternal revenue. It was stated that Commissioner Cabell has denounced all in the state connected with the Williams side of the case, and that when Mr. Willi. ams and at attorney called to see Mr. Cabell Mr. Williams was not allowed to enter the office, It was further stated that Mr. Cabell had said he would have nothing to do with the attorneys representing Williams, either Judges Bynum or Strudwlck and would throw or have them thrown from his office should they enter. The supplementary answer will be filed today, and It is stated the an swer will contain allegations as In teresting as the statements said to have been made by the commissioner of internal revenue. It Is understood the answer will allege that he and his associate officials have been actuated by personal mailer against N. Glen Williams in their previous activities.

In Allenpurt, FIIIOS HIS BRIDE is convicts if e Amherst Student Wrestling With Problems of White Way ''Romance." New York, Sept. 24. Investigation of the sordid aftermath of ono of the so-called romances of the Great White Way engaged the Westchester county grand jury when It convened yesterday at White Plains. William B. Enrlght was a student at Amherst college last winter when a distant relative lefj him a legacy of 110,000. Turning his back on his alma mater, he hastened to Broadway to study night life and matriculate as a "man about town." . He fast acquired a reputation as a 'spender" with the' waiters and at tendants In the lobster resorts and enjoyed an evanescent popularity with the frequenters of those places, who are ever on the lookout for the latest dispensers of easy money. On the night of April 12 Mr. En rlght gave a supper in the, Madrid to entertain David P. Ryan of Roxbury, Mass., one of his erstwhile college mates. In the party were Miss Kath- eryn Kerr and Miss May Kelly, who j had been at one time, In one of Lillian Russell's companies. j . To top off the evening's merriment Mr. Enright declared he would hire a fleet of tnxtcahs and take the crowd to Hoboken, where he would marry Miss Kelly. The proposal was made without consulting Miss Kelly's wlBhes. Thinking her host was Joking, she re marked that she ;was "game," and proved it when he ordered the auto mobiles. , .. On the way to the ferry Mr. Enright suddenly decided he would prefer to be married in Tarrytown. The young women, still thinking he was joking, declared Tarrytown was far more ro mantic than Hoboken, and Mr. Ryan suggested that If they prolong the cab ride to Roxbury he would'pee that the wedding. was carried off In style. ' ; When the party reached, Tarrytown the town - clery was aroused and a marriage license obtained, Miss Kelly decided to Stay "game." and the Rev. Russet O. Ha gam an of the Second Re form church, performed the ceremony. The honeymoon was spent at vari ous Broadway hotels with no let up In the round of gayety until the bride groom's bank roll showed a serious slfflnkage. Meanwhile his - mother had refrained from extending either welcome or blessing to her daughter-in-law and showed a decided aversion to supplying her son with funds to keep up with his way of life. When the money gave out the ro mance evaporated. The bride went home to hen parents. Mr. Enright abandoned the white lights for a more subdued environment and, chastened In spirit, ohtalned a small political appointment In the tenement house department through the Influence of hi family. After the excitement had worn off he began to hear rumors about his marriage that encouraged his family to believe he mluht be freed from the entanglement of his escapade. After an Investigation Mr. Enright laid cer- lain Information before the district at torney of Westchester county which was the subject of the grand Jury in CI 11 It-V. ' The Information lodged with the authorities Is that when MIbs Kelly, as he was known to him, was married to Enright she had a husband living. This man. It Is charged, was convicted under the name of Frank Kelly in De cember. 1911, and was sentenced to serve eleven months nd twenty-nine davs in the penitentiary on Blackwell's Island. The Rev. Father MeGulrl, of St. Jonrnha church. In Pacific street, Brooklyn, who Is a Are chaplain, Is said to have performed this marriage ceremony.

Is that congress and public men are prone to deal with these things whlqh attract men most easily and favorably in short, to the headline attentions of the general public," declared President Taft in addressing tho American Association of Commercial Executives in conven tion here. "It Is pretty hard to get the public to pay attention -to the banking system but It must be Wived and it Is up to the business men of the country. I think all the money we have ought to be In circulation in a system which invites it and does not drive it Into socka and safety de posit vaults," said the president.

Scranton, Pa., Sept. 24. Through rainy Pennsylvania Governor, Wood row Wilson rode yesterday, campaign ing as he Went and addressing thous ands of people who crowded the way side stations to see him. He arrived here at 6:l2 o'clock last night and participated in an umbrella parade to the armory where a big mass meeting was held as a seqpel to the official no tification ceremonies earlier in - the ay, to the state ticket. From the moment the democratic candidate - crossed the state line at Philllpsburg, N. J.,-f and stopped at Easton; Delaware;'- Water Gap, Port land and. Stroudsburg there -were umbrella-covered crowds to greet him. - At Stroudsburg, the home of Representative A. , Mitchell Palmer, national committeeman from Penn sylvania, the biggest crowd turned out. A band played and the gov ernor was given a lively demonstra tion. ' " 'i-."j. . It was getting along toward dusk when the governor reached Strouds burg, and as he leaned from the rail of the observation platform the brake- man removed a rear light. They know we don't need any ar tlficial light," said the candidate amid laughter, "and that there is no dan ger on the part of the democratic candidate of a rear-end collision, be cause nobody is In the same run nlng class with It so that we are not afraid of any other train catching un with us. The interesting thing to the whole country," Governor-Wllso continued Ms that the gTeat state, of Pennsyl vania, that haa so long seemed en tlrely devoted to the interests of one party and suspicions of the demo cratlc party as if the democrats did not understand the financial and bus Inees interests of the country is now showing a marked Inclination to turn away from tho party which has not Eatisfled the people) and entrust its oonfldence to the p'ty which is nqw seeking a new set of policies, in order that the country as a'-whole may be served. Because the republicans aren't even satisfying even them selves. I don't like . to talk ' about It because I belong to another family and it wems to me Indelicate to talk about the altairs of a family I don't belong to. But evidently there is some family trouble and some pert of the- family has a more tender'- (Conscience than the other and the part that has a tender conscience doesn't exactly know what it wants to do with It. But those of us who have for 16 years een exactly what was coming in the 1912 have no doubt where we are bound for. Because I want to call you to witness that the democratic party has had substantially its pres ent program of returning tho govern ment to the people for more than 16 years. We are not doing anything new In the year 1912. What has hap pened is that the people are beginning to see that after all we were willing lo stay out of power on the convlc tion that the time was coming when upon our own platform we couia serve the Interests of the people of the United States. ; Now we believe that there Is not any part of the country where tli business Interests are better under stood than In the state of Pennsyl vanla about half the voters in the United States are democrats, and you don't suppose that Inasmuch as dem ocrats are engaged In every kind of enterprise they are going to cut their own throats. One of the papers In Philadelphia said very wittily the other day that If the democrats committed economic murder on the Industries of the coun try they would also commit economic suicide." 'Mr. President, . look ' this way, cried a voice from the far edge of the crowd to the left of the tral platform. "I am glad to say that I am nol double-faced," replied the governor laughingly, "and 1 can't fire off on the swivel gun principle. . You are good looking In both directions. don't know In which direction I'm good looking in." After the parade at Scranton In which Governor Wilson rode In an automobile, waving to the cheerlngH crowdk, the candidate went to a hotel for dinner. Speeches at the armory besides that by the presidential noml nee were made by M. J. l.ynett, edi tor of the Scranton Times and" dele gate-at-large to the Baltimore con ventlon; M. A.

MITCHELL TOflEDEHUDED? Many People Anxious That State Should Take Some Action to Preserve Timber Tract. A BILL TO BE OFFERED FOR LAND'S PURCHASE A Number of Good Reasons Why the Spoilation, Al ready Begun, Ought . to Be Prevented. There are tiuniber of people in this part of the state who are anxious that the state should take some action to preserve Mt. Mitchell aa It now Is. They insist that this should be done I for several reasons: one is in the in- terest of the conservation movement: another is that it should be preserved for the good of posterity: a third, that It should he preserved as a monument to Prof. Mitchell, who lost his life In exploring this, the highest peak east f the Rockies, where he now lies burled. Thev declare that unless some action is taken soon by the Btate, it is in imminent damrer of losinit the beauty of one of its greatest natural attractions, since the lumbermen are already beginning to encroach .on Its sides; and in' the natural course of events it will not be many years until the whole mountain is denuded of for ests. This, they contend, would be little short of tragedy and would not be fair to the coming generations. Already nearly all of the trees have been destroyed on the very top of the mountain, cut down for fuel by those who spend nights on the peak. Some teps should be taken to stop this do struction In any event, they say. Tf thi. atata nhmiM ueur iha hnun dary including this mountain, it .is thought that it could be maintained without any expense to the state; that is, .that It would produce enough reve nue to pay for the patrolling neces sary to keep out fires and to prevent people from cutting down tho trees.
