HIGH GLASS STOCK
F
OR IS SUM
Majestic Management May Se
cure Paul Gilmore and Play
ers For Entire Season.
There la a strong poslbility now that
thoater-goers of Asheville will be en
tertained the last three days and pos
sibly all of each week this summer
with the very highest claso of stock
productions at the Majestic theater,
to be presented by Paul Gilmore, the
well known actor, and his associate
players. Mr. Qilmore and his com
pany have already been secured by S.
A. Lynch, proprietor of the Majestic,
and the first production, "Captain Al
varez," will be given the last three
days of next week. If sufficient ap
preciation is shown for this and the
following productions, the company
will be kept for this and the follow
lng produptlons, the company will be
' kept for the entire summer, putting
; on a different show for the last three
days of each week, at least.
Mr. Lynch seoured this company by
accident. Mr. Qilmore came here for
s brief vacation trip and was a guest
at .Grove Park Inn. Mr. Lynch got
Into communication with his and be
gan negotiations in the interest of the
Majestic. Mr. Qilmore stated that he
had never put on his repertoire of
hows at less than the $1.60 scale of
nrices and refused to do so in this
case, whereupon Mr. Lynch bought
bis show outright and assumed, nim
, self, the matter of price. He will put
on the productions at popular prices
and the patronage will have to be ex
ceedingly good for the productions to
be retained during the season. Since
there Is such a strong demand here,
however, for the very best In attrac
tions, especially during the summer
season, It is believed that this venture
will prove altogether successful.
, It Is Mr. Qllmore's plan now to play
the. first half of each week in Knox
villo and the last half here. If the
.productions prove popular he contem
plates the organization of two com
panies, one headed by himself and the
othter by one of his stars. Miss Kath
ryn Hutchinson, and have these com
panies alternate between the two cities
during the summer, thus affording a
change of bill every three days in each
city. The outoome ot the plan will be
eagerly awaited by the patrons of the
Majestic in this city.

ROCKEFELLER TOO
SICK JO TESTIFY
Cannot Give Evidence in New
Haven Case, So His At
torney Declares.
Washington, June 8. John A.'
Carver, attorney for William Rocke
feller has presented to the Inter
state commerce commission a state
ment that according to Mr. Rocke
feller's physician It would be danger
ous for Mr. Rockefeller to come to
Washington and testify in tho com
mission's Investigation of financial af
fairs. Mr. Carver told of a serious
condition of Mr. Rockefeller's throat,
which would prevent his testifying,
Neither could he write, the attorney
said, as he was afflicted with palsy.
Chief Justice Folk asked if Mr. Rock
efeller had not attended recent meet
ings of. the New Haven board. Mr.
Carver replied that Mr. Rockefeller's
attendance was merely formal, that
It was something he was in the habit
of doing and involved no nervous
strain.
David E. Brown, an accountant of
commission testified Saturday that
an examination of the records of the
New England Navigation company
('id not show the purchaso of the
Worcester. Nassau and Rochester
railway by the New Haven company,
although the books of J. P. Morgan
and company disclosed the fact that
such a sale was made through 'he
Morgan house. Brown also stated
that the records of the New England
Navigation company did not show the
sale of 23.520 shares of Rutland stock
to the New Haven.
Mr. Brown said he had found sev
eral Items of assets on the books of
the New Haven that he considered
questionable. One of these, he said,
was the investment in the navigation
company which, he said, was written
up $2,250,000.
"That ought to come out," said Mr.
Brown. "I also find that a further as
set on the books represents the dis
count on the bonds of the Westchest
er road. That ought to come out nnc
with these deductions, the profit and
loss surplus or tno .New iiaven, on
June 20, 1912. would be $5,773,000,
instead of approximately $12,000,000,
as Mr. Tomllnson's figures showed.

Suit for $1000 damages, alleged to
have been received st ths hands of
ths Southern Hallway company, was
filed In the office of the clerk of Sups

KInsey of Black Mountain. It Is set
forth In ths complaint that on or
bout April IS, till, whlls on his way
home, ths plaintiff had to cross the
tracks of ths defendant company In I
Black Mountain and In so doing so hs
had to walk around a train that was
on the track; that whlls walking down
the track an engine approached and,
through ths carelesness and negli
gence of ths engineer, hs was struck
by ths snglns and hurled several feet.
Ths plaintiff contends that he was

Young Bessemer Had s Csutious si
Well as an Inventive Head.
The most trivial Incidents have often
originated the fortunes of our richest
men. Talte, for example, the fortunes
made out ot Bessemer steel. This
geulus, young Bessemer, had some Idea
of making ateel out of Iron, but a
poor, newly married young man has
do means of experimenting on a large
scale. The story 1 must tell as I heard
It from an Intimate friend of Bessemer
and Is a true tnle.
After Bessemer bad in his small lab
oratory experimented with the metals
and at last obtained the desired result
by blowing air through melted iron he
found In the bottom of the crucible a
little lump of the famdVis steel. Now
the question was bow to make the dis
covery public, tie put toe lump of
steel Into bis pocket and made his waj
to Nasmyth of steam hammer fame.
Placing the metal on Nasmyth's desk,
be told him that he bad mads this x
traordinary discovery, which would
revolutionise the whole metal world.

An Extra Week May be Nec

County Case.
Tho first week of the two weeks'
special term of Superior court for
Swain county, which convened here
last Monday with Judge Frank Carter
presiding ended Saturday after
noon, shows no prospects In view for
the early conclusion of the William
Ritter Lumber company vs. the Mont-
val Lumber company case and It Is
highly probnble that 'an extra week
will be asked for of Governor Locke
Craig, In order that the case can be
finished.
A large mass of documents, con
sisting of deeds, m&ps, plats, draw
Ings of the tracts ot lands In dispute
and all the testimony heard before
ltefereo Judge J. D. Murphy, has
been or will be offered In the case.
The case Involves the ownership of
several thousand acres of land In, the
western section of the state, valued
ut between $50,000 and 175,000.
A brilliant array of counsel has
been engaged by both sides and the
case has been hard fought all
through. It Is by far the most Inter
esting case tried in this city In many
years and many points of law are In
volved In It.
The case was removed to this
county ti non agreement by both
sides, owing to the fact that most of
the attorneys Interested In tho matter

to be examined live In this city. It
