Special to The Argus.
Raleigh, N. G., June 17.- The hear
ing in the Rowland case began at 12:30.
After a, warm argument by Lawyer
Holding for tfie prisoner, demanding
his release, Justice Separk, who is both
coroner and . committing magistrate,
ruled that he would first hold coroner's
inquest. If the inquest developed that
Strange died by foul means or the evi
dence pointed to oti.ers as implicated
therein, he would issue warrants ac
cordingly for any or all persons ac
cordingly. After Chemist Syme had testified to
his failure to find any poison, Engineer
Michael Tighe was sworn. He testified
he had seen Dr. .Rowland and the pres
ent Mrs. Rowland (while she was yet the
wife of Engineer Strange) in each other's
company on the streets as far back as
last March and that he had seen her go
to Rowland's office at 7 o'clock one
evening.
- This evidence is considered import
ant, because it has been claimed that
Dr. and Mrs. Rowland had not been ac
quainted until the day he was called in
to attend Strange the day he died.
Strange died in April.
Mrs. Rowland, beautiful and pale,
and her sister were present when ar
hgument opened and before the investi
gation under evidence began.
Evidence is still being taken at four
o'clock, and there are thirty-eight wit
nesses present to be examined. The
coroner's in vestigation will, . therefore,
consume all the evening, and in all
probability may not be concluded to
day. GIFT TO BATTLESHIP KANSAS. .'
Several Bodies Found, But on Account
ol Confined Space, Their Number
Could Not Be Counted.
Newport News, Va., June 15. With
canopy frame crushed, but canvass still
tightly fastened down the missing
launch of the battleship Minnesota was
located in 27 feet of water, about 1,400
yards west by south of Fort Wool yes
terday afternoon. Across the little
craft was a tell-tale piece of towing line
serving to convince the naval officers
that they are right in their theory that
the launch was run down by a float of
some kind in tow of a tug. The diver
who went down to examine the launch,
reDorted that the heads and arms ' of
three men wereprotruding lrom beneath
the canvas covering; the men having
made a desperate fight for life when
they were carried down like rats in a
trap. - . .
It will be hours before the launch can
be raised and at the present time no one
knows how many bodies will be found.
It is believed that certainly nine of the
bodies will be under the canopy, but
the fact that uniform capes of Midship
men Ulrich and Stevenson were picked
up in the roads indicates that these two
must , have succeeded in getting free
from the boat before they were drown
ed.
BIDS FOR BATTLESHIPS.
Washington, D. C, June 17. It is
expected that some time this week bids
for the Delaware and Utah, the two 20,
000 ton battleships which were author
ized by the last session of Congress,
will be opened at the navy department
Both vessels when completed will ex
ceed the English battleship Dread

It is expected ' that at least five con
tractbrs will put in bids for the con-
struction of these two vessels. They
are the Pore, River Shipbuilding Coin
pany, the Newport News Shipbuilding
" Company, Cramps of Philadelphia, the
Batb, Me. Iron Works, and the New
York Shipbuilding Company, Camden,
N. J. It is not expected that the
government will construct either of the"
' vessels. - ,
Philadelphia, Pa., June 17. At the
League, Island navy yard today the
battleship Kansas, one of the most re
cent additions to the American navy,
was presented with a handsome silver
service, a gilt from thestate after which
the warship was named. The presen
tation was aceompanyed by the usual
speeches and ceremonies. The State of
Kansas was represented by . a distin
guished party headed try Governor
Hot-h and including Secretary of State
Denton, State Auditor Nation, State
Treasurer Tully, Attorney General
Jackson and Adjutant General Hughes.
The state officials were accompanied
by their wives.
The silver service is one of the finest
ever given to an American warship.
The service is of beautiful creation and
design, its massiveness being enhanced
by its simplicit". Each piece is deco
rated with the state seal and other ap
propriate emblems. In addition to the
silver service, the Kansas party pre
sented to the ship a set of - handsome
flags donated by the Kansas branch ot
the Daughters of the American Revo

LEGED ASSASSIN.
Special Term of Court Convened To
day To Try Him a Second Time!
Special to The Argus.
Beattyville, Ky., Jun 17.-? A special
term of the Lee Circuit Court convened
here today for the second trial? of B.
Fulton French, one of the ""Breathitt
county feud leaders charged with the
assassination of James B. Marcum.
The assassination of Marcum occur
red May 4, 1903. He was killed as he
stood at the courthouse door in Jackson-
Judge James Hargis, the Brea
thitt county feud leader, and Sheriff
Edd Callahan, of the same county, were
accused of employing Curt Jett and
Tom White to do the killing. Jett was
sentenced to hang and White was given
a life term in the penitentiary.
A year ago Jett confessed, saying he
had killed Marcum at the behest of
Hargis and Callahan. He said White
had nothing to do with it. Later, how
ever, Jett was put on the witness stand,
and he then repudiated in full his con
fession, saying he had been forced to
make it by the attorneys for the prose
cution. Judge Hargis and Callahan were ac
quitted, while Mrs. Marcum, widow of
the murdered man, swore vengeance.
Later Curt Jett was given a life sen
tence for the assassination of James
Cock' rill, and upon a reversal ; of his
death' sentence tor killing Marcum was
given a life sentence for that murder
also. -
Fulton French, John Smith and
John Abner were charged with com
plicity in the assassination of Marcum,
and t ried here last summer on a change
of venu from Breathitt county. The
jury, stood eight for hanging and four
for acquittal. Thay could not agree
and were discharged. French, the
man who is now to be tried the second
time, is the former leader of his faction
in the French-jtSversole fued war in
Perry county, in- which nearly one
hundred people were killed. French
is said to be personally responsible for
the deaths ot more than thirty of tjiese
men. He is now a lawyer and lives at
Winchester with his famils'.
A DOUBLE MURDERER.
THREATENED UPRISING.
Tli 3 Government of Poland May Be
Wrested From The Czar.
(By special wire to Tiik Arous.)
St. Petersburg, June 17. The Czar
has assembled fifty thousand troops at
Warsaw because of the threatened re
volt against the government in Po
land. oday the police are searching all
houses indiscriminately.
The dissolution of Russian douma
and the promulgation of the new fran
cliise edict has practically disfranchis
ed the masses, who in consequence are
threa tening an uprising and revolution,
which if it is not speedily and prompt
ly checked will I be as an irresistible
avalanche.
St. Petersburg, June 17. The spark
of revolution has struck fire. Seamen
of the Black Sea fleet of the Russian
navy, as soon as they heard of the dis
solution ot the douma, mutinied. They
openly defied the naval officers, and
today seven hundred of the sailors
were thrown into irons. This act be
ing done promptly, prevented, tem
porarily at least, the seizure of the war
ships by the mutineers.
Great masses of troops today are
policing the streets of St. Petersburg,
Vienna, June 17. The entire Black
Sea squadron has been put out ot com
mission and seven hundred sailors
thrown in prison. Royal troops are
being rushed to Odessa.

". Salisbury, June 17 Strenuous efforts
were made all through last night to
effect the capture of James Ashby.who
yesterday, near Kannapolis, just over
the Cabarrus county line.shot and killed
Daniel Overcash, his brother-in-law, a
well known and prosperous citizen.
The trouble grew out of a family dis
pute. This same Ashby shot and killed,
with the same gun, his own father two
years ago, also in a family row.
At this hour he has not been cap
tured. The shooting yesterday was
done from ambush.
A Suggestion That Should Not Pass
the Aldermen Without Favor
able Action.
Editor Argus;
..i l 'note in the printed proceedings of
the Board of Aldermen that mention is
made of contemplated changes in some
of the Ordinance now in force, and
while it may and doubtless will be well
to do something along that line, it
would also be well to enact some rules
and regulations regarding hacks and
drays. How much longer are we to
submit to the conditions as they now
are and have been tor the past several
year? Poor, scantily led, blind, broken
down horses and rickety old worn out
hacks and drays. If the Aldermen
have the authority under the law, "some
regulation should be adopted requiring
a lineup at least once in every three
months, and oftener if necessary, for
inspection, the inspectors to have power
to condemn either horses or vehicles or
both. Something ought, to be done,
and now is the time to do it.
Respectfully,
- CITIZEN.

LIFE. r
The poet's exclamation: "o Life! I
feel thee bounding in my veins," is a
joyous one. Persons that can- .rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortunate.
..hey do not live, but exist; for to live
implies more than to be. To live is to
be well -and strong to arise feeling
equal to the ordinary duties of the day,
and to retire not overcome by them
to feel lite bounding in the veins. A
medicine that has' made thousands of
people,' men and women, -well and
strong, has accomplished a great work,
besto yir.g the richest blessings, and
that medicine is Hood's Sarsaparilla.
The weak, run-down, or debilitated.
from any cause , should not fail to take
it. It builds up the whole system,
changes existence into life, and make
life more abounding, i We are glad to
say these words in its favor to the
readers .of our columns.'
Editor Argus:
I see in your paper yesterday that
the Board of Trustees of the Public
Schools will meet next week to settle
the question of a site for the High
School. ,
Let me add my endorsement to the
several correspondents, in your paper
advocating the Isler property.' This
site is ideal. It is high, spacious, cen
trally located, yet so admirably pro
visioned by nature that it .furnishes
just the retirement essential lor study-
remote enough to permit of no passing
distractionsto the pupils.
The elevation, too, is such as to perr
mit of a basement to the building tor
furnace and other things, such as stor
age room for coal, etc., without possi
bility of dampness. The price, too, is
certainly reasonable.
In building for all' time the Board
should act wisely.
The people will endorse the selection
ol the Isler property.

"Last year, after having my little

cian for an obstinate case of eczema,
I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that wo
discarded the physician's prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
eix weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble.
"In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison -oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointing them with the Cuticura Oint
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. So we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the

How Cigarettes Destroy a Young
Man's Chance.
Raleigh News fe Observer:
Mr. John Murphy, superintendent
of the Pittsburg Railway Company, has
issued, an order forbidding employes
using cigarettes. He is the head of a
company that hauls over two hundred
and twenty-five million people per
year, and he says his duty to protect
them impelled him to issue the order.
He says that his own observation and
that of his twelve superintendents is
that "persons addicted to the use of
cigarettes, especially young men, are
the most careless in their duties and
less able to perform them than men
using liquor in moderation." And he
adds this remarkable statement, which
we wish could be read by ambitious
youth in North Carolina:
"I may also mention that in seven
teen years' experience ' as' manager of
public utility corporations I have had
occasion to promote many of our men
from the rank of conductors and motor
men to, officers, and in no case has a
man using whiskey come up to the re
quirements." There are young men who use cigar
ettes wondering why their services are
not demanded. The above statement
from a practical railroad man answers
the question. He is no preacher or
sentimentalist, but a hard-headed man
who gives his life to railroad work,
and his views are based upon long ex
perience. . The truth . is ' that, other
things being half way equal, a business
man prefers a young man not afflicted
with the cigarette habit. Ot course
there are capable1 and honorable men
who- smoke cigarettes, but the average
man is seriously injured by it and the
more than average man will after awhile
feel the bad effects it he keeps up the
use of cigarettes. '
The only safe thing for a young man
is to shun cigarettes as he would coffin
tacks.
