Dr. Baker Surrendered Himself and Was Served With Bench Warrant Testi mony of Prosecution and De fence Varies Very Uttle. Special Star Telegram.) Tarbobo, N. CL, March 80. Dr. J. M. Baker surrendered himself tbis morning upon his return to townand a few hours later was before Judge Brown on a bench warrant chargiag him with felonious killing. The evidence In brief was that Mon day morning Baker passed Baas at the post office door; coming oat he was seized by Bass, who began striking him with his fist over the head; Baker e away and """a he'retreateden rdeavoredto draw a pistol; was pur sued "closely 2by Bass, who. was at tempting to seize the pistol; caught Baker by the back of the coat, which was pulled off, Baker retreating rap Idly and reaching for weapon as Bass closed on him. Outsiders closed on Bass. By this time Baker's pistol was out Bass seized it as was dis charged, deflecting the ball. Bass was then pulled back and the pistol in Baker's hand was thrust into Bass' abdo men and fired. The testimony offered by the prose cution and derenee vary but little. The prosecution claims as Bass was held, Baker advanced and shot The defence sets up that Baker all the time was attempting to escape. The prosecution, to show malice, proved a declaration of Baker, immediately af ter the shooting, that he "Had to put two into him." As the matter before the Judge was solely upon a question of bail, the case was not gone fully into. The prose cution did not Insist upon murder in the first degree. This left the Judge simply to determine its amount, which was fixed at $10,000, and was promptly given. According to all the witnesses and the ante-mortem statement of Bass, not a word was spoken by either. In terest throughout the town and county is intense, and In many sections it is bitter to a degree. Sentiment is di vided. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE MEET1NQ.

A CONFERENCE YESTERDAY, Assistant General Passenger Agent Chris tlan, of Seaboard, Talks of Prospects. Emergency Meeting of Chamber -of Commerce Todsy. The people of Wilmington gener ally and those who hare capital to in vest especially are not alire to a really serious condition that may prevail at WrightSTille Beach this Summer if some step is not taken immediately to enlarge the hotel accommodations at that delightful resort, which is just just now becoming popular in sec tions outside of the State, which may be interested how or never. A statement of that fact, which 'is meaftljn,i disparagement to the facilities already there, was- presen forcibly to a number of leading busi ness men and resort hotelists who gathered informally yesterday after noon in the office of Mr. Hugh Mac Bar, president of the Consolidated Railways, .Light and Power Co., to discuss with Mr. W. E. Christian, as sistant general passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line, the prospects for the coming season, which promisee to exceed the most sanguine expectations of the most ardent beach enthusiast Among those present at the meeting besides Mr. MacBae and General Man ager A. B. Skeldlng, of the C. R , L. & P. Co., Mr. Christian and OapL T. D. Meares, of the Seaboard Air Line, were Manager Joe Hinton, of the Sea shore Hotel; Mr. 8. A. Schloss, owner of the Ocean View properties; Mr. Millettt, of Colorado, who 'is here in the interest of the new hotel on the "Hammocks;" Mr. G. Herbert Smith and representatives of the press. Mr. Christian addressed the meeting Informally and took a most hopeful view of the situation with the impor tant provision that ' accommodations could be found for the people after they were brought here. He had dis cussed the matter with General Pas senger Agent fiyan, of his system, and they had decided to make Wrights ville Beach the. point on their lines to which jthey would divert their Sum mer travel, lie had beard or Mr. Millelt's project and was anxious to see It materialize, for in such an en terprise lay the only hope of there- sort. Three years ago the Seaboard brought 100 people from Atlanta to WrlgblsTille and it was then decided that the beach was eminently more ac cessible to their traffic than Morehead City, Tybee and other resorts to which travel had been encouraged. Two years ago the Seaboard advertised Wrightsville to some extent and many people wanted to know where the place was. It was something: of a joke in Atlanta to ask, "Where is Wrightsville!" However, that year the Seaboard brought about 500 peo ple and the beach grew in popularity. Last year the passenger department spent over $3,000 with two Atlanta papers advertising the beach; a ridic ulously low rate and every accommo dation was afforded In train service with the result that 1,6981 tickets were sold, besides Pullman travel. And the people were well "pleased. This year all that the Seaboard wants is a place to put them. Mr. Christian said the Fifth Regiment was eminently pleased with its encampment on the "Ham mocks" and the boys had gone home and told their friends to come. In the last four weeks, he had been besieged with, applications for large excursion parties that wanted to come and he had booked three of them. He came now to aee what he could promise his people in the way of facilities and he wanted information for his egtrged campaign of advertising, which will be commenced at once. The railroad, of course, at the rate of $3.50 for a 350- mile excursion was not making a fortune out of the business but it ad vertised the system, which kitr.ply had to have some place to bring its Sum mer patrons. O le of the excursions booket) is 750 people from the Baptist Tabernacle of Atlanta, headed by Rev. Len G. Broughton. "Of course," said Mr. Christian, "all these Baptists must have - something ' besides water and what are you going to give them in the way of hotel accommodations ?" Mr.. Christian went on to say that he would be willing right now to guarantee 2,500 people for the beaches here this season and offered to engage 50 rooms from Manager Hinton on the spot. : Mr. Hinton who was present had to decline the proposition. Mr. Christian said there was crying need for a new hotel of 150 rooms and he would fill every one of them as soon as they are ready. Mr. Christian was asked his idea of the "Hammocks" for such a hostlery as is proposed by Mr. MHIetts. He said he regarded it as Ideal and the people of Wilmington were badly in their own light, if they didn't act at once. Atlanta people were behind Mr. Mllletts in his project and when they show faith with a proposition to plank down $35,000 It was time for the home folks to do something of the same kind. ;..Vf:;H--:;;; If the right spirit is shown Mr. Christian said his passenger facilities would be greatly enlarged.; Through Pullman and parlor car service would be put on between Wilmington, . At lanta and Charlotte, one of the trains being brought In here before break fast A . ' Manager Hinton said the arrivals a) the Seashore Hotel last year were be tween eight and ten thousand, and Mr. Herbert Smith said the total re ceipts for the season were about $30, 000. Visitors who came to the hotel from a distance, Mr. Hinton said. averaged an expenditure of $10. each. Thus the great benefits to the city by -increased traffic was shown. Mr. Christian said he didn't feel like going to work to bring-people here unless he could promise them some thing and that's why Jie came, and he would consent to remain over until to-day to see what can be done. If Wrightsville loses the people this sea son, it can never expect to win them again. The matter was further discussed, and it was decided to have a special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at noon today to present the import ant matter to the general public. All citizens, and especially members' of the Chamber, are urged to be in attend -anue. Many facts were brought out at the conference yesterday, which space forbids mentioning here, but the entire situation will be gone over agalnito-day and every person inter ested is urged to be present June will be a busy month at the Seashore Hotel ' and : Manager: Hinton accommodate the crowds. For the week beginning June 3rd, the Elks' Reunion of North Carolina will "hold the boards" and during the following week the Teachers' Assembly will be in full blast. Three days of the next week the Grand ' Lodge of Pythians will be in session there and the N. O. Press Association will doubtless fill in the remaining three days of that week. The State Bankers' Association will Capture the hotel on the 24th and 25th and the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows may change their date of meeting to include the period between June 25th and July 1st. The contract was let yesterday to Mr. F. A A.pplegate for enlarging the hotel kitchen so that it will be 30x67 feet in siza and the Electrical Supply Co., of Wilmington, received the con tract for wiring the hotel and grounds for electric lights. MAJ. C. M. STEDMAN MAY RUN. , Rumored in Qreenaboro That He May Be Gubernatorial Candidate Next Time. A special to yesterday's Charlotte Ob server from Greensboro says: "The announcement in the Wash ington special in this morning's Ob server that Col. John S. Cuningham will shortly announce his candidacy for Governor of North Carolina occa sioned no surprise among Democratic politicians here, who have known for some time that the Person county to bacco planter still had his eye on the governorship. In the preliminary campaign of 1900 he was supported by a few Guilford county men, and it is probable that some of them will again support him, unless another distin guished citizen of the fifth district should become a candidate for Gov ernor. It has been quietly rumored for some time that Maj. Charles M. Stedman, of this city, might be in the race, although no word or action of his has confirmed the rumor. Maj. Stedman has a number of friends who have felt, ever since he was defeated for the nomination by Judge Fowle in 1888, that he should be elected Gov ernor of North Carolina. No man who could enter the race would have more loyal or earnest friends than Maj. Stedman." A TRiQGDY THAT DIDN'T OCCUR. Shootlnf at Sight Failed to Materialize at Burlington as Predicted. One had best be careful nowadays where he carries bis bands while meet ing persons on the streets, as thefol lowing from yesterday's Charlotte Observer well illustrates. Visitors from Burlington brought the intelligence to Charlotte, yester day, of a very tragic occurrence that took place in that city a few days ago. In a trial In a magistrate's court Mr. Daniel Hugh McLean, secretary and treasurer of the North Carolina Ball way, and a well known lawyer, and Mr. Carroll, of Burlington, also a law yer, accused each other of unprofes sional conduct. A printer by the name of Haughton, who bears some reputation for being a wag,-told both Mr. McLean and Mr. Carroll that each had threatened to shoot the other on sight. A few hours later Mr. McLean and Mr. Carroll, suddenly turning a cor ner, confronted each other. Mr. McLean reached for. his hip pocket and said: "Sir, if you proceed another step I will riddle you with bullets." "I peroeive," said Mr. Carroll, also reaching for his hip pocket, "that you are armed: But if you move on me, sir, you are a dead man." Horrified citizens and a policeman interfered, and the belligerents were searched as a precautionary measure. Both were unarmed. - Funeral Yesterday Afternoon. The funeral of the late J. L. Snipes, whose tragic death occurred Thursday night, was held yesterday afternoon from the late residence, No. 104 South Eighth street, jthe Bev. Judson L. Vipperman, pastor of Brooklyn Bap tist churcb, officiating. A large num ber of friends were in attendance and the floral tributes were very pretty.'
