peated after him.

sented Mayor Powell, of Raleigh, who
after ofte r j n g the freedom of the city',

ngo there was no organized fire depart
ment in the State, and pointed to the

sult of the work of the State Firemen's

« \cry hamlet would have an organiza

saci ificing work of the volunteer fire
man in glowing eloquent terms, and was
frequently interrupted by applause from

words to the appreciation and thanks

and upon the gratitude that is due volun

Mr. Tesh, of Salem, responded briefly
and fittingly for that city.
Chief Orr, of Charlotte, second vice

hand a gentleman whose duty it was to
protect from fire in the world to come.
(Laughter.) He then called upon Dr.
Pittenger to say something to the fire
men.
Dr. Pittenger quite captivated the con
vention with a splendid tribute to the
volunteer firemen, not only as fire
fighters, but as gentlemen. This, he said,
he knew of his own experience in this
city. He was loudly applauded.
Hon. James R. Young, Insurance Com
missioner of North Carolina, was then
called on by the chair. He spoke upon
the unity of interest that existed be
tween firemen and insurance men, and

THE MAN WORE A MASK-
So Bays Mrs. Lattimer Describing Him Who
Shot Her Husband.
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, July 22.—The coroner's in
quest called to investigate the shooting
of Albert C. Latimer at his home in
Brooklyn on the morning of July 2 was
resumed today. Latimer died in a hos
pital. All he told of the shooting was
that he was shot in bed, and that ho did
not believe it was done by a burglar.
Mrs. Bella Treadwell testified that a
long time ago Mrs. Latimer said it was
“hard to be tied to a man and see some
onse else you really loved.” Mrs. Tread
well thought the remark was made with
out any reference to Mrs. Latimer her
self.
William Tuthill said he read that
Latimer, when in the hospital, asked if
he, Tuthill, was being watched. He de
nied that a meeting between him and
Mrs. Latimer in Twenty-third street,
New York, told of by Latimer's sister,
was prearranged. The matter was ex
plained to Latimer and they continued
friends. On the night of the shooting a
patrol wagon was sent for him. by Mrs.
Latimer, and he went to her home and
did what he could for her. He said he
could not account for Latimer's ques
tion: “Is Tuthill being watched?” It
was true, he said, that he stayed at the
Latimer home two nights after the
shooting, but he did so because none of
Latimer’s brothers was able to remain
there.
Mrs. Albert C. Latimer, the widow,
was recalled and asked to describe the
man she said shot her husband. She said
the intruder wore a mask so that she
could not see his face, therefore she did
not know the color of his eyes.
The hearing wont over until tomor
row.
The Popes Gift Raise a Question.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, July 22.—Governor Taft
has acquainted Secretary Root with the
fact reported in the news dispatches
from Rome that the Pope had tendered
several pretty and appropriate gifts to
himself and tihe members of his party,
and he has asked whether these can be
lawfully be accepted. It was at once
lecognized that the question thus pre
sented involved some very delicate and
interesting points, principal among them
being a possible decision, expressly to
bp avoided at this stage in the opinion
of the officials, as to the temporal pow
ers of the Pope. If these tvere decora
tions or gifts of large value, then un
tier the Constitutional inhibition, they
might not be received without authority
of Congress if the Pope is regarded as
having temporal power, was being a
Prince, a potentate or a sovereign. Sec
retary Root has, however, avoided an
unpleasant decision of this question by
informing Governor Taft that if these
gifts are not of considerable intrinsic
value, and are personal in character,
they may bo accepted as mere souvenirs,
in which case the personality of the
giver nerd not be a matter of official
inquiry. On the other hand, if the gifts
are of exceptional value, which is not
believed to be the case from the :\ews
paper reports, then they may bn deposited
in the Smithsonian Institute in this city.
