Tlhat was very handsome action on the part of the Massachusetts veter ans toward the Daughters of the Con federacy of Newbern, ' If Dr. Rustin was in such a hurry to die we do not see why he wasted so much tame running around begging other people to kill him. It is time the people of Durham and several other counties in this State were giving their sheriffs some extra work in the way of having a few mur derers. If Taft succeeds in making Cannon back-pedal on the tariff revision ques tion, no one will any longer accuse him of having no backbone or of be ing Roosevelt's tool. Can't the friends of the Appalachian and White Mountain parks induce Taft to add those schemes to the tariff revision compromise to be made with Cannon? Roosevelt's announcement that he will reappoint Crum as collector of customs at Charleston will be expect ed to take some of the wind out of Senator Foraker's sails. It looks like the Virginia authorities would have trouble in putting in effect that decision of the court in reference to shipments of liquors into "dry" ter ritory. Of course Taft is not going to make public announcement in favor of his brother for the Senatorship, or to openly support him, in opposition to Poraker, if he becomes a candidate. There is much in a name when it comes to making agreements with other Nations. According to the ad ministration ratification by the Sen ate as needed only when'it is called a treaty. The House Ways and Means Com mittee is going to turn the tables on its critics by securing the right to have some of them forced by subpoe nas to attend its meetings and tell what they know about the workings of the present tariff law. If those Louisiana farmers were to succeed tin their proposal for a 50 per cent, reduction in cotton acreage what would become of the cotton mills and what would the world substitute for the large amount of cotton needed, but could not be supplied?

STATE BOARD MEETS 4. Approi on of $70,000 Fer Work oft; 'cultural Depart ment Nei. Mouths. MAKE NUMBER OF CHANGES Rewards for Murderere Offices Mov ed to Fayetteville Jealously Among Wake Officials Edu cational Affairs News. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 4. The State Board of Agriculture provided $70,000 in its budget today for the next six months' expenses. No material in creases are made in salaries of any of the office or field force. The posi tion of assistant State Veterinarian held by J. W. Hartman was abolished. A committee was appointed to em- j ploy a successor to Dr. Tait Butler, who retires from the State veterina rianship and director of the Farmers Institute January 1st to become Joint editor with Clarence H. Poe, of the Progressive Farmer and other South ern farm papers. The department of food chemist was separated from the regular State chemist's division of work and Chem ist W. M. Allen was designated as State food chemist. The Legislature will be asked" to assume half the ex pense of this department because much of its -work is for the protection of v the people of towns and farmers raising their own supplies. The Board designated Messrs. Mc- Rae, Cannon, Laughinghouse, McCal lum and Dunn as a Legislative com mittee to urge needed legislation be fore the approaching Assembly. A building committee composed of McCallum, McRae, Horne, Scott, and Dunn, was appointed. At th'3 request of Heriot Clarkson, solicitor for the Charlotte judicial dis trict Governor Glenu offers rewards of $50 each for the. arrest of Jim DeBose wanted for killing Archie Belk at Charlotte November 2nd and for Joe Dunham, wanted for the murder of Troy Sutton near Hoskin Mills, on the same day. Both are negroes. " A special term of Rutherford coun ty court, two weeks for civil causes, is ordered by Governor Glenn to begin January 4th, Judge Justice presiding. The principal offices of The South ern Timber Company, and the Worth Lumber Company, are moved from Ashboro to Fayetteville, notice to this effect being just filed with the Secre tary of State by C. C. McAllister, the president. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction will ask the Legislature in January, to' make three changes and improvements in the prescribed pub lic educational system of the State which, if granted, he says, will revo lutionize educational activities in North Carolina and put the State in the: very front rank among all the States of the Union in public educa tion. He will not divulge just yet these recommendations which are now being prepared. One change of minor1 importance! is the enlargement of the scope of the office recently vacated by the death of Captain John Duckett, so that his successor will have super vision of all the teacher training work, both races, in which the State shares the expense, this to include this work in the State Normal at Greensboro and at the State University. A remarkable state of rivalry and opposition exists between the county coroner andvhls co-workers and the city police in the investigation of the murder mystery in the death of B. W. Smith, of Richmond, here three weeks ago and the efforts to bring to justice those guilty of participation in this horrible crime. These two local de partments of justice haveT each four prisoners being held for investigation8 on suspicion anoT no co-operation can be secured. The coroner has ordered an examination of witnesses before his jury for next Monday land in the mean time Police Justice Badger orders a hearing for his prisoners for Satur day jnorning. It looks now like neith er side will surrender any of their prisoner suspects for examination by the other side so that it looks like two separate cases will be sent up from Raleigh to the county grand jury at the; January term. Neither side will divulge evidence of any conse quence before their respective hear ings. May Bring Suit Yet. Herbert McClammy, Esq., counsel for the merchants in the carnival im broglio, was asked yesterday what he proposed to do with his threatened suit against individual members of the Board of Aldermen In View of the ef fort that had been put forward by the City Clerk and Treasurer. He stat ed that he had not yet deicided what course he would advise his clients to pursue; that he .was not so certain the suit would not be brought anyway. A warrant issued oh the affidavit of John Hewitt, a white man, charging John R. Smith, proprietor of the Smith carnival with, assault,, was withdrawn i and the: prosecutor paid; the costs at the session of the Mayor's court yes terday.. John Turley, a white man, for disorderly conduct, was given, 80 days and judgment was suspended on good behavior. ' A BASKET BALL LEAGUE Five Teams Organized Among Y. M. C.

ARRIVALS OF SCHOONERS Two Reached Here With Cargoes Yes terday One In Distress. With her deck load shifted, and the vessel leaking, the schooner Charles H. Wolston, Captain Plummer, from Charleston bound north with cargo of lumber, was towed into Southport yes terday for repairs and to await favor able weather to proceed on her voy age. The schooners Judge Boyce, Cap tain Eskridge, and Geo. F. Phillips, Captain Hammond, arrived yesterday from Carteret, N. J., with cargoes of acid phosphate for the Pocomoke Gu ano Company, to be discharged to the Seaboard Air Line. The vessels are consigned to C. D. Maffitt. The yaicht Marchioness, Captain C. F, Wolf, owner and master, from New York to Florida, came in port yester day for harbor, being unable to con tinue her voyage on account of stress of weather. WAS NO FOUL PLAY Young Clyde H. Bradshaw Came to Himself in Hospital Yesterday. Young Clyde H. Bradshaw, the stran ger picked-p by three tramps "by the railroad track between Wilmington and Navassa, late Thursday evening, recovered consciousness in the hospi tal here yesterday and an examination oJL him by the physicians removes all suspicion that there has been, foul play. He seems to be an epileptic and had slight bruises on his forehead, no doubt inflicted by a fall when he fell in a fit. He gave his age, as 27 and said he was from Rose Hill but beyond that he seemed to know nothing, stat ing that he did not even remember being at Navassa. The three tramps held on suspicion were turned over to Justice Furlong to be tried for vagran cy, if indeed it is decided to try them on any charge as they were clearly good Samaritans when they picked up young Bradshaw and were assisting him to Navassa. Married in Burgaw. The Pender Chronicle of the past week contains a lengthy account of the marriage of Miss Nora Williams and Mr. Samuel William Newton near Bur gaw on Tuesday afternoon of the past week, Rev. W. M...Sikes officiating. Mr. and Mrs. David Ormsby, of Wil- : mington, were among the bridal party and an elegant dinner a the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Williams, was one of the features of the happy affair. The bride and groom will -make their home in Wilmington where both are . well known and much admired In a large circle of frtsnds.- Great bargain sale still -going on at Render's. ;!: - ED SUICIDE LI In Fit of Despondency Following Nerybus Breakdown, J. Frank Maunder Killed Himself. EARtf SMOteNINQ TRAGEDY Pressed Muzzle of Newly Purchased Revolver to His-Temple and Pull- i ed . Trigger -"Community Sad- j dened and Shocked. r The community was shocked be yond expression early yesterday morn ing at1 the announcement that Mr. J. Frank Maunder, so well and so favor ably teiown in Wilmington, had com mitted suicide by shooting himself through the temple in the rear yard of hisesidence, No. 215 North Fifth street. Mr. Maunder had been in wretched health for several years and recently suffered a nervous breakdown, but the buoyancy of his nature and his bright cheerful disposition in spite of his affliction, had totally unpreparea his friends and acquaintances for the shock that came with the news of his rashlact, Mr. Maunder at times re cently had been very despondent and oh the night, before the tragedy in highly nervous condition, had slept but little and son after arising yes terday morning, told Mrs. Maunder that he would go for a little walk be fore .breakfast with the hope that he would feel better. Mrs. Maunder, lit tle dreaming of the terrible tragedy that was' even then perhaps upon the mind of her husband, went about her household duties as usual. A few min utes later when the morning meal had been prepared, a servant went out in the back yard and in passing the en trance to a wood house some distance from the residence, she was horrified to find Mr. Maunder lying on his side in a pqol of his own blood. She quick ly gave the outcry and friends and neighbors came in hurriedly, among the first to arrive being Mr. J. T. King and Mr. W. H. Yopp. Mr. Maun der was then alive but life was ebbing very fast andyhysicians were hastily summoned, Dr. C. D. Bell being am ong j"e first to reach the scene but too ' late to be of assistance. Mr. Maunder had evidently placed the pis tol to his forehead, just over the right eye and sent a ball crashing through his brain. Just under his side and a few feet from his hand lay the weapon with which he had committed the act, a 38-calibre Iver & Johnson revolver, which it was later ascertained had been purchased from the hardware store of Messrs. Wm. E. Springer & Co., on Wednesday evening. Whether he then had any suicidal intent is not known, his demeanor being perfectly normal and the clerk who waited on him having not the remotest idea that it was to be used for other than the ordinary purposes. The remains were taken -into the residence by Dr. Bell and the gentlemen named and hun dreds of friends called during the morning to be of what assistance they (could and to comfort Mrs. Maunder, who was prostrated at the terrible ordeal which she was called upon to bear. The morning being very cold and all the doors and windows of the res idence being closed neither Mrs. Maunder nor the servant heard the report of the pistol, but it was evi dently a few minutes after 7 o'clock as after the tragedy several recalled having heard a muffled report in the direction of the wood house in the rear of the home. It is thought Mr. Maunder lived less than half an hour after the fatal shot was fired. With the exception of the servant, Mrs. Maunder was the only member of the household present at the time of the tragedy. Mrs. E. S. Charles, Jr., the youngest daughter, had recent ly accompanied her husband on a trip to New York, and was advised of the distressing intelligence by telegraph, a reply having been received that she and Mr. Charles would start for Wil mington at once. Other children sur viving are Mrs. W. L. Kinney, of Mis sissippi, and Mr. John Maunder, of Portsmouth, Va. All the members of the family are expected today and the funeral will be conducted most likely tomorrow morning or after noon. v John Franklin Maunder was born iir New York February 10th, 1854, and was, therefore in the 55th year of hia age. Early In life he came to Wil mington and engaged in business. He married Miss Adelaide Orrell, a sister of the late Capt. Robert C. Orrell, and she with the children named survive him. Mr. Maunder for many years had been with the same firm of M. W. Divine & Co., and Hancock & Daggett which the first named succeeded. He was a man of great energy and perse verance, quick in action and devoted to his home, family, employers, city and State. Soon after the; Wilmington revolution in 1898 he served on the. Board of Aldermen and the splendid steel bridge over the Coast Line, tracks on Fifth street is a lasting monument to his service to his peo ple in that capacity. He had also been a member of the Board of Audit and Finance and had served in various other public capacities, being rusted and honored by his fellow citizens. He was a member of St, John's Lodge No. 1, A. F. & A. M., Stonewall Lodge No. 1. Knights, of Pythias; and ofthe. Rer serve Corps of th$ Wilmington Light COiilfillTT SHE OF THE CITY BONDS Many Inquiries Received and Several Representatives Here For Open ing of Bids Monday Beginning of County Fiscal Year. From present indications there will be a number of bidders for the $400, 000 waterworks and sewerage bonds which the City of Wilmington will place on the market Monday at noon for undertaking the great public im provements suggested by the name of the securities. Not only have many Inquiries by mail and telegraph been received, but several representatives of bankers and brokers are here and will submit proposals to the Finance Committee of the Board. A number of these bid ders submitted proposals for the coun ty bonds a few weeks ago and it is reasonable to suppose that the city will experience no difficulty in floating the securities at 4 1-2 per cent, with a considerable premium. Chicago and Boston brokers have entered the mar ket against the Cincinnati houses and some lively bidding is expected. Any afction taken by the Finance Commit tee Monday at noon will immediately go up to the Aldermen for confirma tion at its regular meeting the same night and it is expected that final ra tification of any sale will take place at a special meeting of the Board of Audit and Finance Tuesday. The county begins its new fiscal year on Monday so that with the con vening of the regular term of Superior Court, the day will be quite a busy one in official circles. At the meeting of the Board of Commissioners in the afternoon a reorganization will take effect and all county officers will re new their bonds while many subordi nate, elective offices will be filled. MT. ZION A. M. E. CHURCH. Return of Pastor by Conference Wel comed by Congregation. (Communicated.) At the close of the North Carolina Conference which convened in Fay etteville Nov. 18th, Rev. E. T. Bailey was reappointed to Mt. Zion tp serve another year. All the members of the above named church seem"to be delighted to have their pastor return again. This church accomplished a great deal last Conference year. This church has been burdened with debt for many years, some of them stand ing for 25 years, but last year the debt was nearly freed front the bid debt. With an addition of 242 members the church has taken on new life and bids fair to be one of the leading churches in the State. On Wednesday night a committee of ladies gave their pastor a welcome reception at the parsonage. It was an up-to-date affair to say the least. The choir rendered some beautiful se lections, Bro. Norman Linsy acting as master of ceremonies. Bro. J. P. Bowens delivered the welcome ad dress to the pastor which made him feel that he still lived in the hearts of the members of his congregation. In a few well chosen remarks the pastor responded to the same, after which our hearts were, gladdened to hear re marks from Drs Stroud, Capeh'art and Robinson and Bro. Thos. Hooper. Then supper was announced and you may know the rest. EXHIBIT OF CURIOS. Delightful Affair Last Afternoon and Evening by Mrs. Crowley. The exhibit of curios from China, Cuba, Africa, the Philippines and many other foreign lands at the home of Mrs. J. S. Crowley, No. 411 South Front, proved, a most interesting af fair. The attendance in the afternoon was splendid but in-4he evening the rain kept many away and for this rea son, it has been decided to repeat the exhibit next Tuesday. A number of interesting curios from foreign lands were offered for sale and a free-will offering was received for furnishing "the woman's ward in the Worth Hospital in China, quite a neat sum having been realized. Mrs. Crow ley was assisted in entertaining her guests by a committee of ladies from the First and St. Andrew's Presbyter ian churches and the ladies at the ta bles were dressed in Oriental cos tumes. Delightful refreshments were served and the decorations were very pretty. The collection of curios from the several lands are owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Crowley, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Chadbourn and Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Worth, of this city, and Maj. Dan iel R. Johnson, of Brunswick county. Broke His Arm Again. If Master James WooMn, the lit tle son of Mr. James F. Woolvin, was not born under an unlucky star, he would like to know. Only a few, weeks ago he suffered a painful fracture of one arm, following a break of several months before and yesterday while at play with some other children at school, he broke the other, arm near the elbow. The later is a very se vere fracture and though he is being given the best of attention it Is feared he may have the joint stiff for life. Infantry. In his honor, Capt. Wm. F. Robertson yesterday ordered the flag over the armory at half mast and that the front of the building be draped with mourning for 30 days.
