Because of Proclamation of

Press Reports of German Rout
Not Confirmed in the Grand
Duke's Statement Brit

England is confronted with
the necessity pf. energetic ac
tion according to advices today
S rom Berlin, to protect her in
erests in the near east. A. re
iort i'oin Cairo to Berlin is to
llie effect that the movement
lurainst British forces in Egypt
Jias assumed formidable pro
portions, 76,000 Turkish troops
aieing on the march toward the
Kuez canal. , In the hostile
jinny, opposed by long lines of
j.ritish forces in trenches, it is
jki.l that there are -10,000 Be
douins. Interest attaches , to
he recent proclamation of the
sultan of Turkey calling upon
Mohammedans the world over
o rise to 'arms against Great
Britain and the other members
if the Triple entente. Thus far
here have been no indications
hat the proclamation has lead
in uprising affecting British
Interests elsewhere, although
on several occasions there have
jlieen reports from Berlin of
klissension m India.
I An official communication

liom me Aiissiuu -army ui iuv
'Caucasus tells of further heavy
lighting by the Russian forces j
which have invaded Turkey,
but gives no indication of the
outcome.
The situation in Russian Po
land was as much of a mystery
as ever. Private dispatches
from Petrograd make further
statements that Russia has
overwhelmed the Germans, but
they are not confirmed official-
iy.
Grand Duke Nicholas, the
Russian commander, reports
successes in several engage
ments, but says nothing to in
dicate that the decisive blow
has been struck.
On the western battle fields
there was continued calm. The
British fleet is said to have re
sumed bombardment of Ger
man positions on ,the Belgian
coast. Alonjr the front the
fighting apparently was limit
ed to small skirmishes.
of Cracow, has been evacuated by the
Austrian. This report Is confirmed In
a measure by Grand Duke Nicholas,
who declares that the Russian suc
cesses along the Czcnetochowa-Cra-cow
front have assumed marked Im
portance und that on the right bank
of the Vistula the invaders are in dis
orderly retreat and are being vigor
ously pursued by the Russians. The
grand duke sums up the situation
with the declaration that on the entire
front between the Vistula and Wart.a
rivers the battle is progressing" In
favor of the Russian arms. Doth Ber-
llln and Vienna still claim that no de
cisive result has followed the recent
operations in Russian Poland.
BHUsb Ships Again Active.
On tho western battle front the!
lull still prevails, the only hint of ac
tivity being found , in tho report from
Holland that tho British fleet again
is operating against tbe German po
sitions on the Botglan coast.
The visit of Sir Roger Casement,
who became famous as the investiga
tor of the Putumayo rubber atrocities
to the Berlin foreign office is being
prominently featured by the London
papers.' The comment, however. is
rather reserved. On the whole the
press seems frankly puzzled by the
episode, which indicates that direct
negotiations between Germany and
the extremo section of the Irish na
tionalists have been gonig on. ;
- British Public Reassured.
The British public have been
greatly reassured by the statement of
Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord
of the admiralty, concerning The na
val position of the empire. This has
been supplemented by the official
French report that the combined fleet
not only have command of the Medi
terranean, but are maintaining a suc
cessful blockade of the Adratlc and
the Dardanelles.
From Petrograd comes a much de
layed account of a surprise attack by
a Russian fleet, which it is claimed,
resulted in 'serious disaster" to the

Nearly all the Americans remaining In

the retiring diplomat. Among them
were William Graves Sharp, who suc
ceeds Mr. Herrick as ambassador, Al

Havre, France. Nov. 19. Directly
following Lord Kitchener's speech at
the lord mayor's banquet In London,
'.n which he said he had 1,250,000 men
ready to land In France, there has
been a steady stream of transports
from England to Havre. As many as
200 ships of various sixes have been
lying outside the harbor at one time.
Men are being landed as fast as the
ships can find bertha The troops are
mostly territorials, but well seasoned.
After a march from the docks through
tho streets of Havre, cheering and be
ing cheered, they disappear.
The incoming troops seem in high
spirits and sing and whistle on tho
march.

Persistent rumor9 are in circulation '
here "that the battleship Audacious,
which was sunk by a mine or l. sub
marine off the north coast of Ireland
on October 27, has been salvaged. Ac
cording to these reports, the wrecking
vessels of the admiralty succeeded In
getting the big guns off the Audacious
and afterward beached her. The ship
Is raid to be In condition for repairs
and service after a short time. This
report may be another myth like thj
pasnage of the Russians through Eng
land, but it is generally circulated.
Spies "Dealt With,"
Tteadlng, England, Nov. 20. Two
soldiers, a lance corporal and a private
In the Hants regiment of Kitchener's
new army, stationed at Oorford, have
been proved to be German spies, and
have been "dealt with" by the military
authorities. Copies of letters relating
to ths movements and proposed move
ments of troops were found In their
possession.
Gets Decoration,
Dunkirk, France, Nov. 28. The
man who planned the flooding of ths
German positions on the Yser has been
decorated with the order of King Leo
pold, and Is likely to receive some
similar recognition from the allied
governments. This man, whose name of active Issues.
has not been made public. Is the keep
er of the great Nleuport sluices, which
control the water In the canals and
dykes.
New Tork, Nov. 28. The New
York stock exchange resumed opera
tions In a tentative way today for
tho first time since July 30, when the
foreign situation, caused the cessa
tion of business of all the leading ti-
i nanclal markets of the world. Trad
j lng was restricted to bonds for
I which, in all Instances minimum
prices were established.
All transactions were for cash and
every effort was made to exclude
foreign selling, Tho attendance on
tho floor of the exchange when the
gong sounded at 10 o'clock was un
usually targe. The Bound brought
cheers from the brokers. Thereafter
business went on in the usual order
ly fashion.
There was little business at the
outset of the session.
Then followed the sale of a single
Chesapeake and Ohio bond at a de
cline of 1-8, with later offerings of
small amounts of such issues as
Southern Paoifio convertibles, Hay
consolidated 6's, ' St. Paul general
mortgage 4 1-2's and Northern Pa.-
ciflc Vs. These showed declines,
ranging from a substantial traction
In Southern, Pacific to 8 7-8 points In
Ray' cQnu4Jaujd. There wera other,
sales of Steel and Distillers and the
issues already named at declines
from the first recorded prices. The
total amount of business for the first
fifteen minutes of the session was
$123,000, par value.
The largest single transaction was
the sale of 20 St. Paul general mort
gage 4 1-2's at a decline of 2 1-4.
After the first IB minutes trading
lapsed into extreme dullness with a
mixture of gains and losses. St. Paul
convertible 4 1-2's were up 1 1-2,
while Southern Pacific convertible
4 a gained 3-4, and Central Leather
G's rose 1-2 per cent. In United States
government Issues bids were down 14
per cent.
Selling pressure about which there
had been so much apprehension did
not appear during the first hour,
much to the satisfaction of the finan
cial district. Instead many brokers
said they had commissions to buy
five or six bonds against every one
they had to sell.
A sub-committee of three of the
committee of five sat at tables close
to the bond platform for the purpose
of fixing minimum prices for Inac
tive bonds or making any changes
which might become necessary In
the announced minimum quotations

colored
grand lodge, officers and members of
the Masonic order crowded the city
court room yesterday afternoon when
Ex-Governor W. W. Kitchin and
Charles U. Harris, appearing for Dr.
J. F. Delllnger, Dr. A. M. Rivera and
C. C. Amey, of Greensboro, answer
ed "not guilty" to the charge of
criminal libel.
As the proceedings began, the pros
ecution asked that Dr. J. B. Dudley,
president of the A. and M. college,
Greensboro, be Included in the bill of
Indictment. Messrs. Harris and Kitch
in strenuously fought the shrewd
move' of the prosecution and Attor
neys Logan Harris, W. B. Snow, W.
B. Jones, Armistead Jones, ana
Douglass and Douglass, assisting city
proeeoutor Ben Dixon, demanded the
right of the defense to oppose the
movement. The defense contended
that no charge had been previously
made against Doctor Dudley, that its
defense had been prepared by them
for the three, men indicted and that
linking the name of another defend
ant whom they did not represent,
would embarrass them, perhaps. Later
a separate warrant was sworn out
against Dr. Dudley and the Greens
boro man Is co-defendant.
Black leaders powerful in their po
litical day, are here as witnesses, the
overwhelming number being prosecu
tors. Abe Middleton, James H. Young,
Ex-Congressman Plummer Cheatham,
Dr. J. E. Shepord and Grand Master
R. B. McRary, were in the court
room when the . case was called. The
Itemized charges of misapplication of
funds made against C. S. Brown and
others handling' the finances of the
lodge, amount to 16,225.93 covering a
period of five years. The serving of
papers on Dr. J. B. Dutlley causea
quite a commotion in the fraternity.
After getting witnesses" rounded up
at 2 O'clock, the court took a recess
until 1 In the afternoon. The defense
is relying largely upon the record
and the figures of an accountant. The
three witnesses sit behind their at
torneys and Colonel Young prompts
the prosecution as the man who pulls
the lodge purse strings. The grand
master, whose administration, rather
than character is attacked, merely
looked on.
Senator O. Max Gardner of Shelby,
whose standing In North Carolina does
not rest upon the fact that he cap
tained the 130S football team that
crushed Virginia with 17 to 0, will In
all llkollhood be the president pro
tcmporo of the Incoming senate.
If Mr. Gardner has any opposition
there Is no suggestion of it. He Is an
Immensely popular young fellow and
has done great democratic service In
the orgnnlxation of young democratic
voters clubs an element that has
made the majorities materially larger
everywhere In the state.
Portland Ned to be Tried.
"Portland Ned," a gentleman of

REPORT OF IKING OF
oy
The funeral services over the re
mains of Mrs. Mary M. Coxe, who died
at her home on the Green river plan
tation in Rutherford county yesterday
afternoon at 6:40 o'clock, will be held
Monday at noon at Rutherford, and
interment will immediately follow In
the cemetery at that place. The de
ceased's husband. Colonel . Frank
Coxe, is buried in the family plot ct
Rutherfordton and Mrs. Coxe will be
buried beside him. All details of the
funeral will not be complete before
tomorrow, it is announced.
Surviving Mrs. Coxe are two daugh
ters, Miss Maude Coxe. who was at
the bedside when death came; and
Mrs. W. T. Wright of Philadelphia;
and two sons, Tench C. Coxe of Ashe
ville and Otis Coxe of California, Mr.
and Mrs. Tench C. Coxe went to tho
bedside of Mrs. Coxe yesterday morn
ing and were present when Bhe died.
Mrs. Wright will arrive from Phila
delphia in time for the funeral.
Mrs. Coxe died after an illness of
several days, although her condition
did not become serious until this week.
The deceased had been In Asheville
visiting recontly and, becoming ill, re
turned to her plantation on Green
river. Pneumonia developed and sha
steadily grew worse until death came
yesterday afternoon.
The deceased was 75 years of age
and was the daughter of the late Col
onel Otis Mills of Rutherford county.
She was a member of the Saint Fran
cis Episcopal church of Rutherfordton
and always took a prominent part in
the church work, contributing liber
ally to the charity work conducted by
the church.
At the death of her uusband, the
late Colonel Frank Coxe, she re
moved to the family plantation on
Green river and lived there until her
death. She was a frequent visitor to
Asheville, spending several months
each year in this city.
The deceased's husband, the late
Colonel Frank Coxe, was perhaps
the first man to ever realize the ad
vantages of Asheville as a resort city,
and it was he who bought the present
site of the Battery Park hotel and
built the hostelry. The hotel was com
pleted and opened to the public on
July 12, 1886. At once Asheville, as a
resort city, began to grow, the city at
that time having a population of less
than 5,000. Visitors came to Ashevllln
from all sections of tho Unltod Slates
and many foreign countries. It was
while a guest at the Battery Parle
hotel that the late George W. Vander
bilt first beheld the beauties of western
North Carolina and made the decision
to build his mansion in this section.
Colonel Coxe was a heavy investoi!
in Asheville real estate and owned
hundreds of acres of land in western
North Carolina. The Coxe property In
Ashevllln today, controlled by the es
tate of Frank Coxe, is among the moBt
valuable of the city and much of it Is
located in the heart of the business
dlotrlct. Col Coxe was the organiser
of the Battery Park bank, one of tho
city's oldest banking institutions.

They knocked down the chimney of
