BISHOP CAPERS DEAD.
CARDINAL 1DGUE COMING.
Br will Be the Geatral Ftaure of a
Notable Assembly.
(Special to 'I he Argus.)
New York. April 23. Catholics of
New York and vicinity, and especially
the Irish element of that faith, are pre
nnrinc a erreat reception in honor of
x a r' -
Cardinal Logue, the bead of the Catho-
lie church in Ireland, who is due to ar
rive here tomorrow. Cardinal Logue
is coming to attend the great celebra
ition to be held next week in honor of
the. centennial of the archdiocese ot
2Tew'York. He will be the central
figure of a notable assembly of pre
lates that will include archbishop,
bishops and priests from many parts
of the United States and Canada.
His Eminence Cardinal Michael
Logue, Archbishop of Armagh,Nhas
been -Primate of all Ireland -since 1887,
prior to which time he had been coad
jutor to the late Primate. Cardinal
Logue is a man of great learning and
is renowned for his piety- He does
not mix in Irish politics, but takes an
interest in tbej country's welfare and
knows ho-.w to make his influence felt
when he deems git necessary for the
public good.HHis almost boundless
influence among the Irish people was
recently illustrated in a striking man
ner. He objected to the policy of one
of the Sinn Fein party organs which
editorially spoke in favor of forcing
the priests out of politics. Cardinal
Logue denounced the paper, and his
mere denunciation was sufficient to
drive the paper's readers away to such
an extent that it was found no longer
profitable to run it.
Since announcement was made that
Cardinal Logue was to come to this
country he has leceived many invita
tions to visit Philadelphia, Chicago,
Baltimore and other cities. His Emi
nence, however, is a man of much work
and little play, and cares little for
traveling, or holiday - making. It is
therefore very doubtful if he will ex
tend his American visit beyond this
city, especially as hefwill have an op
portunity of meeting here Cardinal
Gibbons, Mgr.' Falconio and other
eminent churchmen whom he might
desire to visit.
Health Had Been Feeble for

health for many months, and for sev.
erai days had been sinking gradually
This morning his physicians announc
ed that he could not survive the day

and influence that had made him one
of the best known men in the South
He, was the father of John Q. Capers,
commissioner of internal revenue, and
national Republican committeeman for
South Carolina.
The funeral will be held from Trinity
chureh, this city, Friday at noon. Cn
federate veterans, visiting bishops and
many clergy will act as escort of honor

pain.

FOOLS AND AUTOS.
Both Are Having a Big Inning
in New York Today,
And Before the Race Is Hon. the Num
ber el Both May Be Somewhat,
Though Not Materially,
Reduced.
(Special to the Argus.)
New York, April 23. The great Briar
Cliff auto race, over a 32-mile course,
started at 5:07 this morning, and the
course is lined with a quarter of a mil
lion of people.
Sartoris, the Italian car, was the first
starter, and at intervals of one minute
other cars shot like greyhounds out
into the course amid deafening cheers
Barney Oldfield, the famous runner
and victim of many auto mishaps,
grinned as he got away at 5:15 in car
No. 13.
Starter Wagner got all of the twenty
two cars away in good shape, with no
mishaps at the start, but verry soon
there was such a one on the curve,
which is at the turn of the east view,
when car No. 22, a Simplex, driven by
William Watson, skidded the mound
and turned somersault, throwing Wat
son and Thomas Cotter, his mechanic,
headlong from the machine. Both are
badly cut about the head and body and
the car is a complete wreck. The turn
is the most dangerous one on the track.
Strong won the race, with Cedrino
second.
SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
award Bain: Makes a Murderous
Assault Upon Mis Wife and Baby
JMhji;ristoI, Last Night.
From Thursday's Daily.
Last night about 10 o'clock, Howard
Bain, who had been drinking during
the afternoon,(and who with his wife
and baby made their home with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. McCullen at
their boarding houseonEast Mulberry
street, near Centre, went in after being
about the streets till that hoar, and no
sooner had he gotten to his room than
he opened fire on his wife with a big
army revolver, the balls piercing her
body through and through, and from
which she now lies in a most distress
ingly pitiable condition, with no hope
for her recovery. ...
No sooner had the firing began than
her father rushed to the scene; bat so
vapidly was the pistol discharged that
three shots had been fired before be
reached the room and the pistol was
leveled for a fourth shot when he
grabbed the? weapon just as the ham
mer -was coming down, lascerating his
hand terribly. He grappled Bain, and
disarmed him, I and without waiting
for assistance hurried him to the city
ball, near by, round the corner, and
delivered him to the police and he is
bow in jail.
Mrs. Bain, who had retired, with
meir miant son in Dea witn her, was
summoned to open the door by Bain,
on his coming up to the room, and as
soon as she unlocked the door, he be
gan the firing. r '
These are the bare facts, without
comiaent. It is a tragedy of such har
rowii&g atrocity and so appalling that
the whole community is standing
aghast.,. and we are unable to do just to

A PURE FABRICATION.
Governor Glenn Makes Positive flolal
of a Republican Canard.
Special to the Argus.
itaieign, April 24. Kefernng to a
Washington special in the Greensboro
Industrial News, Governor Glenn, on
his return to the city today, said that
there is not a word of truth in the arti
cle, which charges that he would re
nounce his. declaration not to be a can
didate for the United States senate.
"J do not believe Mr. Simmons said
anything of the kind," declares the
governor, in his positive denial of the
story.
The special in question is as follows:
"Washington, D. C, April 23. Gov
ernor Glenn threatens to renounce his
renunciation of the senatorship, which
his friends likened to Washington's
Farewell Address.'
"This news, it is stated today, was
brought here by Senator Simmons, who
talked with the governor while in the
State. It seems that the governor is mad
because papei s friendly to Senator
Overman refused to accept at par his
modest statement that the senatorship
was within his grasp, and that he cast
it aside from reasons purely patriotic.
"The governor indicated that he
'night get back in the race and show
these papers a thing or two. The chief
magistrate of the State is also assert
ing that in eliminating himself from
the senatorship he made all kinds of
enemies. ' '- - :
."He says nearly all of his friends are
mad with him, and, that he may sur
prise tbe people of the State after the

The Kind of Democrat That

Senator Simmons Speaks Boldly and
Truly as to Tbe Kind of Demo
crat we Sbcald Nominate This
Year For President.
In the recent Jiew York banquet of
Democrats Senator F. M. Simmons of
this State he who has done so muoh
for the Democracy ot the State and is
reflecting credit upon the statesman
ship of the South in the United States
Senate, was one of the speakers, and
he was appointed to reply to the toast,
"The White House and the Demo
cracy," and he said in part:
"If you ask what sort of a democrat
we should nominate for President, my
answer would be, we should nominate
a democrat who can say in truth and
fact 'I am a democrat; a democrat and
nothing more; a democrat without
qualification, explanation or apolo
gies.' It boots not what his name,
nor from what state or section he hails,
so he can restore harmony in the dem
ocratic party, reunite its divided ele
ments and with its forces marshaled
in solid phalanx confront the cohorts
of republicanism.
"The situation calls for a bold and
unequivocal enunciation ot the princi
ples and policies for which the party
stands and invokes the support of the
people.
"The tariff question, the financial
question, tbe trust question and the
railroad questions are all questions of
high importance and will doubtless
play a conspicuous part in the cam
paign, but no one of them, nor all ol
them combined, outrank in import
ance as a vital issue the question of

construction of the law, he projects in
to the political arena the most porten
tous question which has confronted
the American people since the unpar
alleled usurpations of the reconstruc
tion era. The right of the states to
manage their domestic affairs without
the interference of the national gov
ernment is boldly challenged. The
states are confronted with the ques
tion whether they are to remain states
or become provinces. The citizen is
confronted with the question of wheth
er he is to remain a citizen or become
a subject.
"The constitution makers of 1787
lived in mortal fear of kings. They,
created the office of President because
they had to lodge executive power
somewhere, but they hedged him
about with limitations and restraints
and vainly thought they built around
him a fence which was 'mule high, pig
tight and bull strong.' But the staid
old constitution builders had never
heard of 'Teddy, the Terrible.' They
did not anticipate his coming into the
white house, else they would have
known that no such pent-up utica
would restrain his boundless stren
uousities. "The President is- a mighty man.
Politically speaking he has become an
allmighty man. Bigger than any
body, Digger than everybody. He says
to this one, 'go' and he goeth, and to
that one, 'do' and he doeth it. He says
to the house, pass this law and pass
that law and they say 'all right Mr.
Roosevelt' and they pass it. He says
to the senate 'pass this law and pass
that law and they say 'All right, Mr.
Roosevelt' and they pass it. He says:
'I don't want to be President a third
time, but I want Taft to be President
and they say: 'All right, Mr. Roose-.
velt, we'll nominate Mr. Taft.' And
we all know, it he shall, at any time
before the convention change his mind
and decide to take this nomination
himself they will say: Ail right, Mr.
Roosevelt.to hell with precedents and
third-term traditions,' and Mr. Taft
will be Dickedand Porakerized.
"Just let this thing go on as it is:,
going on; as it has been going on with
ever accelerating momentum during,
the last forty years of republican gov
ernment and some fine morning we
will wake up to find state boundaries,
obliterated, to find state sovereignty
extinguished, to find congress and the
courts subjugated and magna charter,
the bill of rights, and all our boasted
privileges and immunities of American
citizenship gone, with the spectre of
old King George stalking abroad in the
land and his incarnated spirit seated,
in power in the white house."
