Monday, May 17. ion - PAnwrorn THKASHEVILLEtJAZETTE-NEWS ' i El 4 1r 1 ,1 RALEIGH "INS" PLAHSHflKE-UP Certain Energetic Supporters of Administration to Lose City Jobs, According to Late Rumors. MAY DO HARM TO STRONG ORGANIZATION; Governor Craig Issues Pardon and Considers Others Bilt more Hay and Grain Co. Chartered. By W. T. Boat. Raleigh, May 17. Raleigh polit elans Who spend a good portion of every two years contemplating another victory are anxiously awaiting the re turn of Commissioner O. O. King, head of the department of public safety, when a meeting of the officials Is ex pected to settle the appointments and the removal of certain members of the city's force. The absence of Mr. King tends to encourage the report that he is to drop the heads of two of his depart ments, but he has nobody to speak for him now. Repeated stories that Chief Walters, who is now very critically ill. Is to resign and that Sanitary Inspector Sherwood t'pchurch, one of the migh ty in the city fights, is to step down have nevertheless not supplied their successors. There is a rumor, also, that Capt. T. W. Fenner, tax collector; Is to quit, but it seems that his place Is to be vacated in the interest of economy, if at all. The officials declare they can give out nothing until thdrfull meeting Is held. If it means that two of the most energetic workers, perhaps three on the side of the city administration go, the next campaign may be more exciting than the last was. Several policemen are slated for decapitation. The spoils attending the city elec tion cannot be called Inconsiderable It was the payroll upon which the News and Observer played with Inter est at times, though without luck. It was the fine organization built up that way which led the paper and the sup porters of the defeated candidates to declaim against the uneven fight. A cut in that payroll might please the papers that fought, but It would hurt the Instrument that worked so well. Economy Is understood to be but one of the several reasons for making changes. Governor Craig appointed Chairman E. L. Travis, of the corporation com mission. Dr. Charles Lee Raper. of the University, and Dr. E. W. Hikes of Wake Forest, delegates to the Ni .th Annual conference of the National Tax association which meets In San Fran cisco August 10-14. Governor Hiram Johnson, noted Teddyite, sent the Invitation and ask ed for a strong representation from North Carolina. The last convention had 4S states and provinces and 22 universities in the representation. Pnrdon For gro. Governor Craig has pardoned Jarvla Oden, a Beaufort county convict who was serving 30 years for murder In the second degree. Odea Is a black boy who Is now only 30 years old after a service of 18 years broken by an escape of two years. Governor Craig Is moved to kindness by the fact that he was only twelve years old when he committed a murder that probably would have nau all elements of first degree had Oden been older. He says: "The defendant was only twelve years old when' he went to prison la 1897. He haa been In prison 16 years and haa made a good prisoner for the last 13 years. Dr. Joshua Tayloe, the coroner, states that the boy at the time of the com mission of the crime, did not have any appreciation of what he was doing. Petitions for the pardon of Charles Trull, Mecklenburg murderer, and Abe Allison, burglar of Iredell county, are understood to be on their way to Ral eigh, each .man now being under sen tence of death automatically made by the amrmlng of the lower court ver dict by recent decisions of the Su preme court. Both men were convicted by purely circumstantial evidence, though each case was exceedingly strong. Trull's appeal for clemency will be put upon ground, also, of impaired mind. The circumstance that worked chleffy against him was the finding of a large amount of money on him after the failure to find any at all while he Worked in Charlotte. Blood on his clothing and unbelievable stories worked much against him In his These two prisoners are the only ones now in the death chamber, sev eral executions having taken place within the last year. The first three days of the week which showed no charters granted were followed by two which give to the state eight new businesses, among them the Blltmore Hay and Grain company of Blltmore, capital stock $10,000 paid In to be SI, 000, Clarence H. McCall, Mrs. Maud McCall and Clyde S. Reed of Asheville, being the stockholders; and the Waldensian Swiss Embroidery company of Valdese with $125,000 of which $26,500 is paid up. Foreigners hold all the stock. They are Henry Clott, of New Bergen, N. J., Alex Constantln and Augustus Clott of Weehawken, N. J. They man ufacture embroidery lace and inser tlon.

Ul I FILM WORLD, THIS WEEIT The management of the Majestic theater announces that the famous motion picture, "Cabiria," which has created such a wonderful amount of favorable criticism wherever it has been shown, has been secured and will be shown at the Majestic next Wednesday and- Thursday. In the Chicago Dally News, Amy Leslie, dramatic critic for that paper, has the following to say of the picture: " 'Cabiria' is the ultimate cry of 'room for the movie I' Its magnif icence of action surpases huban belief. Everything happens except resurrec tion and ascension and that could .be easily pictured by the almost omni potent artistic privileges and quali ties of the moving picture with chant. "D'Annunzlo is in his element. He rides bareback and dumb over the mighty bulwarks of antiquity, strid ing the savage brutalities, the super stitions, the magnificent man-beast chances, like giant upon a leviathan. Sometimes he does such exttravagant things that he Is amusing. One site breathless and wondering what on earth or under the seas or in the air more can this poet of degeneracy do with such superb masculinity and truth? 'Cabiria' all told is only the tossing about of a beautiful little child from one catapult of human fanaticism and power to another; from one miracle of divine revelation to another from one upheaval of na ture In revolt to another. The child Is merely a feather In a perfect up roar of tumbling steeples and walls. spouting vocanoes, reading fires. angry gods, slave mastodons and mighty feats of strength, battlln waves, overcoming gigantic obstruc tions, fighting mobs, tearing down dynasties, climbing, bursting bond.-i, falling, rising, attacking danger with out a qualm." Washington, May 17. Dr. Bern hardt Dernberg, often referred to as the unofficial spokesman of Emperor William of Germany in the United States, has made plans to leave the United States on his own Initiative in a short time. It has become known in official quarters that in view of the fact that it had been, intimated that President Wilson and members of the cabinet were displeased be cause of Dr. Demburg's speeches in justification of the sinking of the Lusitanla and some published utter ances which It was believed might be calculated to array sentiment of Ger mans in America against the Wash ington government, friends of Dr. Dernberg here pursuaded him to leave the country. Just when Dr. Dernberg win leave has not yet been made known. It is believed he will go to Cuba or to South America. Dr. Dernberg's activities have been closely observed by the president and other high officials here who came to believe last week that a continuation of his speeches and statements might In the event of a critical turn In our relations with Germany menace the domestic welfare of Americans. It has been denied repeatedly by the German 'embassy, as well as by Dr. Dernberg himself, that he is spokesman for the German govern ment or that he had any official standing. In view, however, of the fact that he was formerly colonial secretary In the German foreign office and because he has been prominently active in be half of the German cause since the outbreak of the war, officials here be lieved that German-Americans at tached official weight to his utter ances. Dr. Dernberg has .Just Issued a statement In New York In which he declared that he had never discussed, any matter that had arisen diplo matically between the United States and Germany. Officials made no comment on the statement beyond ponlting to Dr. Dernberg's speech In Cleveland In which he sought to Justi fy the attack on the Lusitanla. New York, May 17. Dr. Bernharrt Dernburg, declined to discuss the statement that he was soon to leave the country and refused to see nws- papr representatives. In answer to a note enclosing a copy of the Wash- ngton dispatch he made the reply. no commesjjs. BLAMES U. S. GOVERNMENT FOR SINKING OF LUSITANIA Amsterdam, May 17.

BOY DROWNED LAST SIM III LITTLE IVY According to Information received in Asheville, the four-yearaold son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sawyer of Little Ivy, N. C was drowned last week In Little Ivy creek, near his home. It Is stated that the father had gone to the stable, near the house, and his small son came to where he was feeding the stock. The father told the child to return to tho house, but on the father's return to the house about JO minutes later it was discovered that the boy had not returned. Search was immediately made for him and the body was found about one mile from the home, lodged in a drift. It la believed that the child attempted to cross the creek to visit a neighbor's house and in doing so fell from a foot log and was unable to get out of the water.

Mysteries of the Heavens By H. P. Lovecraft Magnifying Power. 1 The magnifying power of a. tele scope, that Is, the number of diameters by which it enlarges an object seen through it, Is determined by the opti cal relation of object-glass and eye piece; hence If a proper variety of eye pieces be provided, the same telescope with Its one object-glass may be made to yield different degrees of magnifica tion to suit different purposes and con ditions. However, tha higher the power applied, the smaller the field of view and the less the amount of light obtained, so that beyond certain limits, high powers cannot be employed with out providing large objectives In order to tecure more illumination from the objects viewed. It has been found, that In general not much mora than 60 diameters of magnification should be used with an object-glass whose diameter or "aperture" ts one inch, ao that In determining what ahall be the highest power for use with a certain telescope, It Is well to allow SO diame ters to each inch of aperture. Thus a three-Inch telescope can bear a max! mum power of 150, asd so on. Some times better results are obtained with low powers than with higher, for the latter magnify the obscuring mists and disturbances of the atmosphere through which we must always ob serve th heavens. Powers high as 2,000 have been employed on the larg est Instruments, yet. 200 Is more suit able for ordinary use.

The small field of view afforded by a telescope of high power makes It very difficult for the observer to find celes tlal objects, and renders necessary the us of a "Under" or small telescope of low power and wide field affixed to the tubs of thif larger Instrument In such a manner that when an object Is In the renter of Its Yield, It Is also in the field of the principal telescopo.

Next to this, but no longer In use. is the famous 72-!nch reflector mads and used by William Parsons, third Earle of Rouse, and long re nowned as the greatest of alt tele scopes. The Room mirror was east In 1X42, and the Instrument completed In 1143, with a tub t feet In length an 7 feet In diameter. The mounting wae not equatorial, owing to th excessive weight of the mirror; Instead, the tel escope was provided with an universal Joint at the lao, and supported by chain and pulley, attached to a struc ture of masonry. Its scope was some what restricted, sine, it a prevented its 'being directed to all parts of the skjr. In 1914 the Rouse telescope was removed from its orig inal site at Birr Castle, Ireland, and placed as a curiosity In the Science Museum at South Kensington, London. Third In size are tTin twn n.in.h reflectors; one constructed in 1889 by the late Mr. A. A. Common, P.
