WILL BE MANY 1 APPLICANTS About 60 Embryo Lawyers Have Registered and Books Do Not Close Until Friday Night. Many New Nominations Received Yesterday i nthe ig Sub- sorption Campaign Several Candidates Preparing Campaigns. London, Aug. 25. The Bal- an states are nearer determ- nation of their future relations kith the warring powers, but o far as is announced officially lo definite step has been taken 'or the revival of the Balkan fcague and its alignment with th entente tines. There is no confirmation to- lav oi me various rumma rhich excited London yester lay, chief of which was a re ort that Bulgaria had declar id war agaiist Turkey and rould assist in forcing the )unlanelles. The situation brought about y the sinking of the Arabic is till eliciting comment from the British press, which character 7.o the unofficial German ex ilanation as inadequate, but in-erpi-et the effort to explain as vidence that Germany realizes tor relations with the United States have reached a serious taire. The furious efforts of the Austro- c.-rman armies along the eastern front during the past 24 hours have t been as fruitful as usual in re icnt to the amount of ground gained hicli Is taken to mean that the In ulers have reached the swamps. Merman and Austrian reports state (at further advances have been aile to the .south of Brest-Lltovsk nrt that the Pulva river line has on passed. Austrian cavalry has bitered Kevel and Is said to be ad- bmclng toward the north, but the lutflanklng movement Is being con- ronted by barriers formed by the ver Pripet and adjacent marshes. Herman papers recognizing the Ifiloulttes point out that the armies f the central powers are facing se als obstacles In the Immense and adlesa swamps, while leading Hun- iirian newspapers describe the tac ral positions of the Russians as ex emely favorable. Another explanation of the pause To the AuHtro-German advance uninst Brest-Lltevsk is that the In- ders are being held up by the con- nued ruins. From other fronts no Important Hons are reported. The English public, stirred by the rge loss of life at th Dardanelles d the Turkish reports of desperate Khtlng. are waiting -with keen ln- frrst the details of the operations here. And still they come. Tuesday wit nessed the receipt of many more nom inations of popular young women for The Gazette-News Grand Subscription Campaign. Proving conclusively that the advantages placed within . the reach of the young woman of this sec tion are fui'iy appreciated and that these young . women have made up their minds to win these splendid awards or known the reason why. Many have already expressed them selves as to the premiums they are eeeklng, and each of the awards are sought by some one. To the great majority, of course, the prospective winning of two automobiles appeals strongest, as It should, for these pre miums mean hours, weeks .mil months of pure and unalloyed pleas ure. They are the premiums worth every effort and one that will make the winners the happiest young wom en In a'il this country. And so it goes. Every award Is be ing sought and the prospects are that each will be won after a close race, Hence the advisability of getting in now and lining up your friends behind you. Every vote secured now ..and every supporter drawn to your stand ard means much, but It will mean more before the campaign draws to a clo$e. Already the alive and energetic ca l- dldates are Interesting their friends In their campaigns and many have visit ed their friends and secured their promise of support before even send ing in their nominations. This signi fies a live and hustling spirit and one that is certain to bring success.

Mr. Phlp man has been In Washington about three weeks and has the work well advanced. It is confidently believed that tho adjustment for co-operation between the state and the federal de partments will result In a great saving t othe state department and In making the reports of the North Carolina commissioner much more complete. Revenue raiders were especially ac tive in the Raleigh section the Inst three days of the past week, rounding up four blockaders, all of whom hnve been bound over to the federal court with the fctrongest sort of evidence against them, according to tne officers; Deputy Collector H.

Premier Okuma and Minister of War Oka paid a visit to Nlkke to report to the emperor tha plans for Increasing tha supplies of ammunition according to tha recent decision to employ all available re- sources of the empire to swell the out- states have several governors Instead of one. Enumerating the various state Commissions and boards which have come into being, as a part of the ex ecutive department oft a state ad ministration, he said: "All this has resulted In giving the state not one governor but a number of governors, one of whom is elect ed, the others appointed by various boards and commissions. The govern or of the state bears about the same relationship to many of these boards as he bears to the courts, and it is fundamental that the executive and the Judicial departments shall be in dependent of each other. "There Is little or no co-ordination between theee various bodies. Inspec tors, examiners, investigators and employes of these various govern ing bodies, busy 1 nthe performance of their duties, are traveling over the state, sometimes several of them de scending at the same time upon a lit tle hamlet of two or three hundred inhabitants, where all examinations and investigations for all of the state departments could be done by an able bodied man In half a day. Salar- Irs and traveling expenses are con tinually Increasing, while In political campaigns the cry for economy goes merrily on. "In Minnesota for some time there has been a feeling that there should be a thorough re-organization of these various offices, that they should be Included In the executive depart ment, and should be under the con trol and direction of the executive himself or department officers select ed by him." The plan proposed In Minnesota was to consolidate all of these of fices and divisions of government In five or six departments, each with a director appointed by the governor and responsible to him for the con duct of his department, but It met defeat In the legislature. Resolutions of confidence and sup port were sent to President Wilson to day by governors of nearly a score of states attending the annv.al confer ence of governors here. There reolu Hons, introduced by Governor Walsh, of Massachusetts said: ' The governors of the several com monwealths of the nation, in confer ence assembled, desire to tender to vou an expression of their confidence and support in this hour of deep In ternational concern and to assure you of their readiness to follow your leadership In all matters which you may deem best to promote the honor and jnalntaln the peace and welfare of the nation and the whole people." A aharp division of opinion devel npened after addresses by former Gov. ernor W. H. Mann, of Virginia, and Governors Robert L.

The court quoted the gains and profits of the company for 1912, which amounted to $15,633,551.33, or about 171 per cent on total sales of $24,763,407.65. It Is undisputed, the the Identity of the persons who were engaged In the lynching." The nearest thing to a disclosure of what happened In the oak grove near the Frey gin come from JV A.

There was no sound In the big superior court room save tho voice of Acting Solicitor John T. Dorsey, framing the inter rogations, and that of Benson in reply. Both men spoke earnestly and scarcely above a whisper. There had been a pause of several seconds in the examination when Mr. Dorsey turnod to the witness and very slowly asked: , "You say you saw at least one of the men step from one of the auto mobiles that had' turned off the main road at the Frey gin?" Benson moved a little nervously in his chair. "Yes, sir," he replied. The acting prosecutor paused, and then shot out: "Who was he?" "1 do not know." There was audible relaxation In all parts of the court room. . "You did not recognize anybody?" "Nobody."
