RICHMOND HERE TODAY "" Wilmington Won Again From the Richmond Team. NEWPORT NEWS ONCE MORE ViCTORUS In the Games on the American League Diamond Yesterday the Eastern Teams Took the Honors From the Western Clubs With Ease. Wilmington still occupies the top of column next to pure reading matter, while Raleigh has loosened her hold on second place, yielded it to Newport News and stepped down third. But we needn't expect to win all the time, now need we? The game yesterday was not so in teresting as that (9 Tuesday, nor so en joyable to local rooters as that of Mon day. On Monday the ‘‘Red Birds” won; and on Tuesday the score was so close that everybody watched and prayed till the last play was made, for that was a run that settled the controversy. Everybody knew how yesterday’s game was going as soon as they got to the grounds and found Billy Boylan there with another mascot. ‘That settled it and there wa sno appeal. Last week it was his gander that gave us bad luck with Wilmington, and yestesday it was a pair of baby shoes that brought 113 sor row qml defeat. These shoes were very small and deco rated profusely with red and white rib bons, by which also they were appended to the end of an umbrella and waved hysterically in the air. They were, so Billy explained, for the orphans from Portsmouth to wear home in their hour of defeat. A very thoughtful and gen erous idea ou Billy’s part, but the Or phans have declined the offer without thanks. Os course Billy’s shoes didn’t directly lose us the game, but they made Stanley wild, and wild balls gave the Brownies bases on balls of ’course make runs and runs give victory in a game. That was Che course of events yesterday, and events of that sort, like facts are stub born things and hard to overcome. “The ‘‘Red Birds” did their best, but the wild halls still flew from Stanley’s fist and the Brownies Chased themselves from cushion to cushion until the score Etood 7 to 4 aiU the game was ended.

KING EDWARD DAS A VERY CLOSE CALL Caught by a Sauall on Board Shamrock 11. THE YACHT IS DISMASTED The Wreckage Crashes by Edward Into the Sea. THE SHAMROCK I COMES TO THE RESCUE Caught by the Squall She is Hopelessly Crip pled. The Erin Then Appears and the Royal Party is Transferred to Her Deck. (By the Associated Press.) Southampton, May 22.—The c up chal lenger Shamrock 11, with King Edward and a party on board, was totally dis masted today by a squall, off Cones, Isle of Wight. The King, who was on deck, had a miracolous escape. The topmast, mainmast and bowsprit were broken short off. » The yachts were to have been s nr today reaching over a triangle course similar to the cup series. There was a fine, fresh, easterly breeze driving a short, white tipped sea up the channel when the three yachts set their c lup topsails shortly afternoon and pro ceeded to the starting point. King Edward desiring to take a more active part in the proceedings than was possible from the deck of the Erin, was taken on board the challenger, ac - companied by Sir Thomas Lipton and two ladies. While the yachts were manoevering for the start, a squall came without the slightest warning, and (he bowsprit of the challenger was curried away short. The extra strain thus thrown on the topmast proved 100 much for the spar. It whipped, broke and doubled off to leeward, carrying the whole weight of the jackyard and gear over the side in a terrible tangle. Al most as the topmast fell, the great steel mainmast, weighing more than two tons, and carrying spars and gear weighing an additional three or ("ni tons, swayed for a moment and then al most by a miracle, plunged over the side and into the water, with the rip ping*, tearing sound of breaking wood and tearing gear in the air. The members of tile royal party were seated on deck, close to the champion way. The King was showing ke> n pleasure, watching the fight \vhi"h Cap tain Sycamore was making for the ad vantage at the start. The yacht teas racing along at a formidable angle, and the sloping deck, with a mere fringe of rail, seemed a rather perilous for the accommodation of the visitors. As the wreckage swept the deck it was most astonishing that no one was injured. For a moment or two the sit uation appeared to be very grave. The King maintained his composure. Within five seconds of the disaster, the Shamrock I bore around to render assistance, when she in turn was caught by the squall and her gaff and topsail spars collapsed, leaving hv.’ helplessly crippled. The press tug following the racert. ranged alongside the helpless yachts and a torpedo boat which was in the vicinity, and the Bybarita sent boats to the scene. But in answer to a hail. Captain Sycamore sent the reassuring message that all on board had escaped without injury. As quickly as possible the King and the royal party were transferred to the Erin and later the King, accompanied by Sir Thomas Lip ton, landed at Southampton, from which place His Majesty will proceed to London. In the meanwhile the crews of the racers set about clearing away the wreckage. Owing to the unwield ly nature of the spars and gear it was found impossible to get them on board and they were cut away and allowed to sink, after buoys had been placed to mark the places where the wreckage sank. The yachts were then towed back to Hythe, there to await a decis ion as to what should be done towards repairing them. Buie’s Creek Academy. (Special to the News and Observer.) Buie’s Creek, May 22.—Buie’s Creek commencement began yesterday, with the largest attendance ever present at the comemncement sermon. Rev. N. C. Ty ree, D. D., Durham, preached the sermon It was a strong sermon, appropriate to the occasion, and produced a profound impression upon the large audience.

(By the Associated Press.) Baltimore, Md., May 21.—Dr. William D. Thomas, of the Chair of Psychology of Richmond, (Va.) College, died in this city today from a stroke of apoplexy. He came here a month ago to undergo a surgical operation, which, apparently, was success ful. Dr. Thomas had long been identified j with the advanced education of the South. CHARGES AGAINST HIM UNSUSTAINED i Board of Censors Report on Doctor Moore, WAS ACCUSED OF FRAUD Expelled From the Durham Academy of Medicine. END OF MATTER CAN MOT BE FORECASTED NMin of -Successful Applicants For License to Pract ce Medicine. Report of Sections. Two Women Physicians Among the Delegates, (Special to News and Observer.) Durham,-N. C., May 22.—The second day’s session of the North Carolina State Medical Society showed a larger attendance than were present yester day. Many physicians came in on the night and early morning trains and were present when President Baker called the convention to order this morning at 10 o’clock. Among th° num ber here ate two lady physicians, one from Raleigh and the other from Golds boro. The sensation of the session came this morning when the report of the Board of Censors was made to the so ciety. The censors met last night and took up the case against Dr. R. A. Moore, of this city. The charge against him had been preferred by the Durham Academy of Medicine, from which Dr. Moore was expelled some time ago. While the trial was held behind closed doors, it is learned that the general charge against him was that he ob tained membership in the State society by fraud. In the trial Dr. A. Cheat ham represented the Academy mid Dr. Moore .was represented by Attorney Jones Fuller. When the report was made this morning the censors decided against the Academy of Medicine and stated that they found nothing to justify the expulsion of Dr. Moore. This brought on a fight, and for a few minutes there were lively times in the meeting. Dr. Cheatham came to his feet and there was plain talk between him and Dr. G. G. Thomas, of Wilmington, who is the chairman of the Board of Censors. Some one asked what animosity the Durham physicians had against Dr. Moore and this brought many to their feet on the question of personal prici leges and a warm debate ensued. It was clear that the society, or a major ity of the society, were with Dr. Moore, and the decision of the Board of Cen sors was so contrary to the expecta tion of the prosecutors that the report came as a sensation. The report, hon ever, was unanimous, being made by Dr. Thomas. After considerable debate the matter was finally referred hack to the Board of Censors for trial again tonight. This was done, it was stated, for the sake of harmony and in order that the prose cution might introduce some evidence that was denied at the first hearing of the case. When the ease comes up again before the medical society tomor row there is no doubt that there will be a warm time again. The trouble between the Durham Academy of Medicine and Dr. Moore began a year or so ago, when he was expelled from the academy. It is learn ed that he was expelled on charges similar to the ones now against him be fore the State Society, and the Durham doctors claim that they brought the matter before the State Society in order to justify the action they took. It is said that the charge now against Dr. Moore is, as mentioned above a gen eral one of obtaining membership in the State Society by fraud; still there are seven specifications in the charge. At this time there is no telling what will be the outcome of the trouble. The Board of Censors, which had a rehearing of the case this evening, is composed of the following five clirtin guished members of the State Society: Dr. G. G. Thomas ,of Wilmington; Dr. R. H. Speight, of Randall: Dr. L. J Picot, of Littleton: Dr. M. H. Fletehei, of Asheville, and Dr. C. M. Poole, of Craven. A barbecue had been arranged in honor of the visiting physicians for this afternoon, hut on account of the inclemency of the weather and the \yet and muddy condition of the ground it was postponed until tomorrow after neon. In addition to the routine work of getting the society organized for busi ness the following has been transact ed by the doctors; Report of section on practice of medicines —reports made by Drs. H .T. Bass, of Tarboro, chair man; W. C. Galloway, of Wilmington; John C. Rodman, Washington; J. P. Munroe, Davidson: C. E. Walker. Hun tersville, and J. Edwin Kerr, Lilesvillo. Reports of section on Materia Medina and N the Therapeutics were made by the following: Drs. A. Cheatham, of Dur ham, chairman, and I. W. Faison, of Charlotte.

In all of the above reports, those named had special papers prepared, and in addition there were a number of vol unteer papers and considerable discus sion. In addition to the reports of the Board of Medical Examiners and the Board of Censors, there was a discus sion of a special order, “question of the abolishment of the official organ.” At 11 o’clock the annual discussion, led by Dr. D .A. Sutton, of High Point, took place. The stibject of the discussion was “The Physician as a Sanitarian.” During the remainder of the after noon there were more reports of sec tions. First there was the report on jurisprudence and State medicine, which was made by Dr. H. W. Lewis, of Jackson. Then came the report of sec tion on gynecology made by the follow ing! Drs. J. F.

Plans For a Centennial Memorial Chapel—Grand Concert. (Special to News and Observer.) Winston-Salem, N. C., May 22.—The grand concert given tonight was a charm -1 ing feature of Salem Female college com mencement exdrcises. Notwithstanding an admittance of 25 cents was charged, I (receipts to go to Centennial Chapel fund) j the chapel was crowded. The audience j was a representative one and manifested . its appreciation of the splendid program rendered hearty encores. The con cert closed with a cantata entitled “St. Cecillia’s Dav.” Today was Alumnae Day, and the ex ercises wpre truly interesting. At the business session a nice sum was raised, and plans set on foot for the erection of a centennial memorial chapel next year, j when the college will be one hundred j years old. Mayor O. B. Eaton, of Win- I stoff, made the principal address and his j effort was inspiring. Among the interest ; ing papers read was one written by Mrs. i J. A. Bitting, telling in an interesting I manner about her school days in the ] Academy fifty years ago. The following officers were elected for I the ensuing year: Mrs. Lindsay Patter son was re-elected president. The vice presidents are: Mrs. E. A. Ebert, Mrs. W. N. Reynolds, Mrs. 11.

Patterson, of the Univer- I sity of Georgia, will deliver the annual oration. Hi 3 subject will be “The Place of Science in the Twentieth Century Ed ucation.” Colored. People as Givers. Speaking of the new St. Paul’s church in this city, the Rockingham Rocket says: “The negro is not more faithful to his coon dog than he is in paying his church dues. We have often thought they were more sacrificing in proportion to their ; means than the whites. No matter what they may do after the shouting is all over and the benediction is pronounced, their little 5 and 10 cents are chipped in with commendable regularity. We are I reminded of this by the dedication of the St. Paul African Methodist church in Raleigh last Sunday, which cost over $30,000. Just think of the colored race undertaking and completing such a struc ture. It probably represents more of sacrifice and hard work than any other institution in the State. They have been ,17 years in building it. Os course they I have received aid from their white * friends and probably some from (he | North, but the work and sacrificing have 1 been theirs. The first sermon was preached in it Sunday morning by Bishop Lee. Many white people attended. He j 1 told them that the colored race had not j i been kept poor by giving to the church, ‘ i but it was the eatings, the drinkings, the chewings, the smokings, the ribbons and * the feathers.” » 7/E CENTS, OFFENSE OF THE DEGRADED CADETS Report Giving Reason For T heir Degradation, CURSES FOR OFFICERS Reveille Gan Moved to Threaten the Superintendent s Door. HAZERS WHO WERE PUNISHED CHEERED List of 1 hose Who Are Expelled and of Those Who Are Suspended For One Year, Root Signs the Order cf Dismissal. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, May 22.—The names of the cadets who have been dismissed from the West Point Military Academy a3 the re sult of the recent disturbances there are as follows: Henry L. Bowlby, Nebraska. John A. Cleveland, Alabama. Traugett F. Keller, New York. Raymond A. Linton, Michigan. Birchie O. Mahdlley, Texas. All these cadets are of the second class. The following cadets have been sus pended: Olan C. Aleshire, Illinois. Benjamin F. McClellan, Mississippi. nines A. Shannon, Minnesota. Charles Telford, Utah. All of the second class. Also Thomas N. Gimperiing, Ohio, and Harry Hawley, New York, of the third class. These cadets are suspended without pay until April Ist, 1902. The order of dismissal is signed by Sec retary Root and states that it is issued “by direction of the President upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of the Military Academy.” The same lan guage is used regarding the suspensions. There was no court-martial of these ca dets, but under the law the secretary lias the power to dismiss or suspend cadets upon recommendation of the superintend ent. A board of officers in this particular case was appointed which made a thor ough examination of the disturbance. The board reported the fact to the superitend ent and the superintendent made his re port and recommendations to tlie Secre tary of war and upon this report the sec retary acted. ’ The folowing is the report of olonel A. L. Mills, superintendent of the West Point Military Academy, upon which was. based the action of the Secretary of War dismissing the five cadets and suspending si others for a year. Colonel Mills says: “I have the honor to report that at dusk on the evening of April 16th, 1901, immediately after teh dismissal of the battalion of cadets on its return from supper, a largenumber of cadets became engaged in an insubordinate demonstra tion directed at the superintendent of the Military Academy. The demonstration tooq place in the main sally port of Cadet barracks, then in the arer of the bar racks: in the sink: on the plain north of barracks, and, finally, in front of the su perintendent’s quarters. It consisted of cheers, ending with the names of two re cently punished cadets; several profane yells directed at the superintendent, and the moving of the revielle gun from its accustomed place to a position on the plain immediately in front of the superin tendent’s quarters, at the door of which the muzzle was pointed. “The pretext for th’s demonstration was a punishment awarded Cadet Robert R. Ralston, second class, in orders pub lished at parade that evening. The ac tual cause, as established by the testi mony of Cadets under oath, taken by a board of officers, convened the following morning, and which has made a long and exhaustive investigation into the affairs, was the resentment of a group of insubor dinate cadets of the second class at. measures taken by the Superintendent to enforce the law forbidden hazing. “When the civilian candidates report ed at the military academy for the. March entrance examinations, it became evident that members of the .fourth-class were disposed to improperly Interfere with them. On March Ist, Cadet J. B. Richardson, was detected molesting one and was punished. Oh March 27th, 1901, Cadet Lieutenant Myron S. Crissy, sec ond class, was. punished for ‘bracing’ - fourth class men in the manner con demned in the report of the Congression ial investigating committee in session here last winter. On April ICth, 1901, Cadet Robert R. Ralston, second clar-a, was punished for a flagrant neglect of duty. “The evidence taken before the board shows that ihe group of cadets referred to, resenting the first and second of the above punishments, began to engage in secret meetings, in which the superinten dent’s actions were criticised and con demned and ugly terms were applied to him by other cadets. Other evidence show's the demonstration was first pro posed in ranks at parade, immediately after the order punishing 'Cadet Ralston was published, by three cadets prominent in the group, and the arrangements for it were completed by them in the mess hall at supper.
