Greensboro's Fourth of July cele bration, while not staged on an elab orate plan, was nevertheless a most successful affair. It is doubtful if the day was ever more generally ob served here, and it is noteworthy that the celebration partook of a spontaneous character that bespoke the patrrotic impulses of the citizen ship. The public buildings of the city were closed for the day and prac tically all the stores and other bus iness houses closed at noon. Flags and bunting were used profusely in decorating the business houses and many hotnes throughout the city. The first formal exercise of the day was the presentation of a United States flag by the Guilford Battle Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution to the public playground that has just been open ed on the vacant lot adjoining the Y. M. C. A. building. An attractive and appropriate program was car ried out here. The speech of pre sentation was made by Mayor Mur phy and the flag was accepted for the children by Miss Marian Gilmer. The children sang several patriotic airs and the Guilford Grays fired a salute. The flag-raising wis followed by an automobile parade through " the principal streets of the city and to Lindley park. Several hundred auto mobiles decorated in the national colors were in the parade, which was led by a handsomely decorated car driven by Miss Frances Long. Three prizes for the best deco rated cars-sjvere awarded as follows: First, J. Van Lindley Company; sec ond, R. M. Clapp; third, Rev. Father Vincent Taylor. Several thousand people assem bled at Lindley park and found en tertainment in various forms. There were numerous picnic parties and in the afternoon there were athletic contests, a sham battle by the Guil ford Grays and a dance in the park pavilion. - At night there was a fine display of fireworks on the corner of West Washington and Greene streets. The display was witnessed by thousands of people. SHERIFF ADDS ANOTHER STILL TO HIS CAPTURES. the eamns prepared (cooked an dishps "Ul ue verv rarQfi r Prisoner is given suf- " meals.

Accompanied by Depu ties Phipps, Hobbs and Clarke, the sheriff took a trfp up into Bruce township and at a point about two miles west of Sumraerfield the offi cers were rewarded by finding the blockade liquor plant for which they were searcmng. The still, a small affair of about 2 5 gallons capacity, was located in a thicket and would hardly have been located by the casual observer. It was set up ready for operation and near by were two barrels of beer, one of them being buried in the ground, and covered with sticks and leaves. The outfit was constructed after the approved regulations, with the ex ception that the still cap had been hewn out of a pine stump. While the officers w-ei-. examining the still and surroundings two men who are supposed to have been in charge of the outfit came up. Evi dently they were not expecting to be disturbed and were within a few yards of the still before they ob served the officers. The surprise was' mutual on both sides and a hot foot race followed. The supposed block aders made good their escape, after having been chased by the officers for about half a mile. ine officers poured out the beer and brought the still an 1 worm back with them to Greensboro.

DEDICATES LABOR TEMPLE PRESIDENT WILSON TWICE IN TERRUPTED IN SPEECH BY WOMAN SUFFRAGIST. Washington, July 4. President Wilston today dedicated to "common counsel and a common understand ing" a labor temple erected here as the new home of the American Fed eration of Labor. He told a large audience gathered at the dedicatory exercises that the greatest barrier to industrial peace had been the diffi culty of insuring candid and dispas sionate conference and that "getting our fighting blood up" was "the long way and not the short way" of se curing rights. The president's address was inter rupted twice by a woman suffragist who sought to heckle him regarding his opposition to a national suffrage amendment. She as silenced by secret service men and finally taken away by the police. The Congres sional Union announced tonight that the effort was but the first step in a new campaign to impress Democratic leaders with the advisability of pass ing the amendment at this session of Congress. Mr. Wilson's plea for calm coun sel brought repeated applause from the crowd, who apparently inter preted it as having an indirect bear ing on the Mexican crlsis. The pres ident, however, did not refer to Mex ico, or any other foreign country by name. "The way we generally strive for rights," he said, "is by getting our fighting blood up and I venture to say that, it is the long way and not the short. If you come at me with your fists doubled, I think I ciin promise you that mine will double as fast as yours; but if you come at me and say, 'let us sit down and take counsel together, and if we dn fer with one another, understand why it is that we differ, just what the, points at issue are: 'we presently will find that we are not so far apart after all, that the points in which we differ are few and the points on which we agree are many and that if we only have the patience and the candor and the desire to get togeth er, we will get together." The president scarcely had begun to speak when the first interruption came. The questioner, Miss Mabel Vernon, of the Woman s party, was standing only a few feet from him, and when he declared that in his po sition he was not permitted to think of any one class of persons, she shouted : "If you truly desire to serve all classes, why do you block the na tional suffrage amendment now be fore Congress? Four million women in this country " The White House secret service men made their way to Miss Vernon, and quickly silenced her. She tried unsuccessfully to induce them t eject her from the crowd. When she again sought to interrupt the president a few minutes later, how ever, city police led here away from the speaker's stand. She was not arrested. The president apparently was un disturbed by the incident. He paus ed upon the first question and turned to look at Miss Vernon, who stood with Miss Alice Paul and Miss Maude Younger, members of the Congressional Union, but he paid no heed to the second interruption. Nothing that the president said aroused such enthusiasm as his praise of that section of the Clayton act declaring that labor is not a com modity. u "I am sorry," he said, "that there were any judges in the United States who had to be told that. It is so ob vious that it seems to me that that section of the Clayton act were a re turn to the primer of human liberty; but if judges have to have the primer opened before them I am willing to open it." Flag Should Recall Duty." ' Referring to the display of Ameri can flags carried by the union work ers in a parade which he had review ed as part of the exercises, the presi dent declared the flag always should recall America's duty in serving the world. "America," he said, "did not come into existence to make one more great nation in the? family pf nations to show its strength and to HURRICANE SWEEPS 6DLF COMMUNICATION WITH MOBILE AND PENSACOLA CUT OF TRAINS ANNULLED. New Orleans, July 5. With Mo bile and Pensacola cut off from all communication since morning, ef forts to learn the extent of the hur ricane that swept inland from the gulf early today have been fruitless. High winds and tides were reported from many coast points east of here, but with the exception of small ship ping the damage seemed to have been nominal. Communication with Pensacola was lost at 9.30 o'clock this morn ing, shortly after word had come from there that the wind was blow ing 72 miles an hour and increasing in velocity. All wires to Mobile fail ed at 11 o'clock at which time a 7C miles an hour gale was blowing there. Attempts to get in touch with these points by wireless have failed. The center of the main hurricane early tonight, according to estimates by the weather bureau cfficials. was thought to be still in ths gulf about 150 or 2 00 miles off the southeast Louisiaa coast, and moving at prob ably 80 miles an hour. Weather bu reau officials, however, said it was impossible to give the location or ve locity accurately. Some anxiety was felt here for residents and tourists at Grand Isle on the southeast Louis iana coast and also for residents of Earataria and surrcunding lowlands along the gulf where it was feared the high tides and wind might cause loss of life. As soon as the hurricane warning was ordered by the Wash ington weather bureau today, the lo cal bureau sent cut warnings by Tel ephone, telegraph, by boats and couriers to all places which might be exposed to the storm and it was be lieved most of the people in the low lands were given time to move tc 'places of safety. The Louisville and Nashville an-n-tfTrfed all trains out of New Orleans tonight, owing to washouts. Rail road officials, however, said they ex pected to run trains to Adoblle. and through trains by tomorrow morning. WOMAN RUN DOWN AND INJURED BY AUTOMOBILE. Mrs. Charles Woods received se rious injuries yesterday afternoon about 3.30 o'clock, when she was struck by an automobile just as she had alighted from a street car in front of Fields' store, a short dis tance west of the city. Both legs and one arm were broken and it is feared that Mrs. Woods was also injured in ternally. She was carried to St. Leo's hospital for treatment. The automobile was driven by Mrs. F. H. Coleman, of Baltimore, who, accompanied by her sister-in-law, was rfj.urning to her home from a visit irfNew Orleans. After the acci dentAAe two women drove into the city 'and sought out the officials. Mrs. Coleman related the circumstances of the accident at the sheriff's office and was permitted to continue her jour ney. An investigation by the officers seemed to indicate that no blame for the accident attached to the driver of the automobile. The husband of the injured woman is a round-house employe of the Southeim Railway here. Married Yesterday. Miss Kate Vance Tate, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ferd. A. Tate, and Mr. John B. Plowden, Jr., of Florence, S. C, were married yesterday morning at 9 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents on West Sycamore street. The ceremony was performed by Rer. C. E. Hodgin, of Westminster Presbyterian church. Shortly after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Plow den left by automobile on a trip through the mountains of western North Carolina. mastery. America opened her doors to everybody who wanted to be free and to have the same opportunity that everybody else had to make the most of his faculties and his oppor tunities and America will retain Its greatness only so long as It retains and seeks to realize these ideals. No man ought to suffer injustice in America. No man ought in America to fail to see the deep dictates of humanity." Mrs. Wilson, Vice President Mar shall and several members of the cabinet attended the exercises. Sec- exercise retary Wilson, of the labor depart ment, was master of ceremonies. President Gompers of the Federation, who introduced President Wilson started a prolonged demonstration by making an appeal for support of the president "in peace or war." NIGHT RIDERS WHO OPPOSE FENCE LAW ACTIVE IN DUPLIN Kenans ville, July 5. Night riders, armed, masked and apparently bent on enforcing th3ir will, are terroiz ing alleged stock law adherents in a section of Duplin county near Beula ville. Fences nave been razed and other property damaged and sevpral persons have narrowly escaped dean; at their hands. Men threatened with death or vio lence are arming to resist. Amos Brown is the leader of a small, but determined band in one neighbor hood. Brown and his neighbors have defied the night riders and. it is re ported, will shoot to kill at the next visit of the marauders to their vicin ity. Several houses have been fired into. Window panes were shot out of one home and a woman and sev eral children endangered. The state and district authorities have been informed of the situation. Vigorous action is anticipated. Duplin -county is under the fence law. The majority of the people are now known to be against it. however, county officials say. In. spite of the sentiment against the law, the great majority of the population is frown ing on the activities of the night rid ers, and it is only fear of the disguis ed men who canter over the country side in the dark that keeps down a general out c?ry against their lawless ness. The raiders are not numerous, but seem to be well-organized. All carry arms and do not hesitate at showing them when bent on business. One man who received warning that he should turn his stock out onto "free range" land disregarded it. The wire fences that he put up were cut to pieces overnight. THE WOUNDED AMERICANS WERE SHOT AT CARRIZAL. El Paso, Texas, July 5. The army of United States soldiers on the bor der celebrated the Fourth of July lis tening to the last authenticated story of the atrocious manner in which the wounded of the tenth cavalry troop ers were put to death by Mexicans af ter the battle of Carrizal. General George Bell has been in formed that a corporal captured, as he was endeavoring to escape into the desert after the fight was asked if he knew where any of his com panions could be found. The Mexi can officer making the inquiry was told by the soldier he knew where a number ci wounded had hidden in a dry water hole. Pressed to give the location of the hiding place the soldier refused until promised by the officer the wounded men wcuia be treated as a prisoners of war. and given medical attention. When tne wounded men were found six were in the party. Three of tiie number were unable to stand. The corporal who had been the in former was ordered to stand with them and the group was shot. The helpless wounded were killed where they lay. General Bell is making every ef fort to secure the name of the Mexi can officer responsible for this piece of barbarity that it may be included in his official report. It is not per missible to state the source from which the information came. General Bell is investigating sev eral shots fired by Mexicans on cav alrymen of troop B, eighth cavalry, Sunday afternoon. The troopers, un armed, were cutting brush on the river bank when the Mexican border patrol opened fire on them. The American soldiers ran to cover. Six field guns and twelve machine guns have been rushed to Juarez by the Mexican authorities to strength en that point in case of a possible attack. French troops, co-operating with the British in the Somme river re gion, have straightened their line somewhat by the capture of Barleux, Belloy-en-Santerre and Esteres and are advancing on a considerably wid er front toward Peronne. At the Es teres where 500 prisoners were taken, the fighting is still going on furiously. On the British end of the line, on ly slight progress lias been made at some points. Unofficial dispatches say that xthe entire British front ot 90 miles is bearing its full share of the battle. A high British officer states that artillery preparation will precede all further infantry attacks as the re sourcefulness, determintion and the fronting qualities of the Germans, as weu as the power of their defences are all recognized. Heavy Fighting at Verdun. Although the French are making a steady advance in the Somme section with apparently heavy casualties, hand about to face an easier task, ac cording to expert opinion, to reach the river itself, the Verdun army is engaged in particularly heavy fight ing, the Germans not having permit ted the battle of the Somme to inter fere with their operations with the character of the great fortress. On the Verdun front the Germans have taken the Thiaumont work for the fourth time, after a terrific bombard ment and by a massed attack. Around this work, which has been the center of desperate attacks and counter-attacks, for many days past, thousands of men have fallen, for this is a position which is essential to the Germans for carrying their ad vance nearer to Verdun itself, and to the French to keep their resistance intact. Russians Enter Hungary. Russians and Italians are lending all their strength to the combined blow against the central powers, and Bucharest reports a significant rncve- FRANCIS D. WINSTON JUDGE PEEBLES' SUCCESSOR. District Attorney Francis D. Win ston succeeds his ancient political foe, Judge R. B. Peebles, who died last week and will fill the unexpired term in the third district. Governor Craig announced this ap pointment and gave to Raleigh a sur prise that no politics has matched in the whole administration.- The gov ernor announced that Mr. Winston would accept and the district attor neyship will soon be vacant. Judge Winston was an appointee of Governor Aycock but Judge Pee bles narrowly heat him for the nom ination. The new judge has been lieutenant governor, serving with Glenn. , He succeeded Herbert Sewell as district attorney. BOTH ARMIES MAKE GAINS ALLIES HAVE THE ADVANTAGE IN SOMME REGION; GERMANS BATTLING AT VERDON. ment of Russian patrols, who are said to have advanced from Kimpo lung. in Eukowina, and entered Hun garian territory. All along the Rus sian front heavy engagements are in progress, and the Russians, driving north from Kolomea, have advanced -more than 20 miles and are threat ening to outflank General von Both mer's army and the Austro-German forces in the Tarnopol region. Should this Russian movement prove buc cessful. Von Bothmer may have to fall back on Lemberg. Though the official communica tions with respect to the battles along the Austro-Italian front are meagre, that issued by the Italian war office indicates that the artillery and infantry fighting is of a contin uous and desperate nature. The Austrian war office is silent regard ing the operations against the Ital ians. A Petrograd statement says: "Between the Styr and the Stock hold and south of the Stockhold fierce-vbattles continue. In the re gion of Dijnaia Lipa we are closely pressing the enemy who is defending himself with great persistency. "An attempt of the enemy to cros3 the Styr in the region of the village of Lipa was repulsed. During the night we captured on this front 11 officers, nearly 1.000 men and five machine guns. On the right bank of the Dneister the enemy thrice at tempted an offensive near Issakoff, but was repulsed by our fire. In the direction of Kolomea we dis lodged the enemy irom several posi tions near the village of Potok Char ny, which we occupied. "We pierced two lines of enemy works south of Tzirine, northeast of Baranovihi. The battle continues. In this fighting yesterday we cap tured 12 officers, 2,700 soldiers, 11 cannon and several machine guns and bomb throwers. "In the course of an assault the valiant Colonels Govoroff, Sikaloff and Syrtlanoff fell, while Colonel Adjieff succumbed to his wounds later. "On the northerly front there was a lively artillery fire which became violent at soe points. In the region of thl village of Baltagury, east of Lake Vichnevskoye, the Germans at tempted to leave their trenches, but were prevented by our fire. One of our air squadrons raided the Barano vitchi railway station. - ' A rhA7: -h t ... i A Itf r4 k v V?. f i Zh -u
