THE AOT OBSEBYEB, TUESDAY, SEPTIIEIBliJl fT fMES30.IIEIIIl5.MEII SHERIFF CULBREm CAPTURES ANOTHER MOONSHINE OUTFIT NEAR HOPE MILLS (Special to News and Observer.) Hope Mills. Sept. 6. Sheriff N.i A. Watson and Deputy Sheriff John C. Culbreth passed through Hope Mills late Sunday afternoon and proceded in a westerly direction. It Was pre sumed that they were in quest of a moonshiner's still and perchance the moonshiner himself- and the surmise t-roved to be correct for in a few hours they returned, bringing with them a fifteen galon capacity I copper still, which apparently had been in opera tion on Saturday. No low bush light ning was found and the premises had been deserted. The still was found in a swamp about five miles west of Hope Mills. This is the thirtieth still captured by the sheriff and his deputy, and ohows that they believe the law was made to be enforced and they know how to deliver the goods. They sel dom go on a larke without bringing in the game. The trophy that they prize most highly, however, is the little nve-ganon iu tojuuicu nm. wine ago within a few miles of Hope Mills, which has such a unique history, it be ing the one that has all the ear-marks of the one brought to the United states from Scotland by Robert Burns. This still is now exhibition at the mu seum at Raleigh. OXFORD SCHOOLS OPEN.. Cicnoral ' Royster and Superintendent Conly Make Addressee The Teach ers. (Special to News and Observer.)

POSTUM FLEET BATTLE PRACTICE Weather Conditions Were Not ? What Were Desired Ships passed In the Capes at Hampton Roads for Week-End Supplies Yes terday Afternoon The Ships Which Lead in the Target Work and Those Which Follow. (By the Associated Press.) Norfolk, Va.. Sept 4. Weather con ditions again today failed to favor the Atlantic battleship and cruiser fleets battle practice work on the southern drill grounds. With a wind of eight miles an hour from the South there was a light ocean swell, but the de sired choppy sea conditions for strain ed gunner aim upon the target boats as they were towed about by 'tugs, was lacking completely and the day's work was not at all satisfactory. The atmospheric conditions were also un favorable with a cloudy overcast and light hate. All of the battleships and cruisers under Admiral Sehroeder were on the drill grounds throughout the forenoon with the exception of the armored cruiser Montana, which was still re ceiving stores in Hampton Roads. This afternoon, however, the ships began to pass In the capes for week-end sup Hes to be taken on in the roadstead preparatory to the continuation of bat tle target work next week and the inauguration of torpedo practice with the boats of the Atlantic torpedo flo tilla. Th ships are under orders to en gage in no Sunday target work, as such practice is never engaged in. This rule is known to have been broken only once and that was last year in Magda lena Bay, on the Pacific coast, follow ing the conclusion around South America of the first leg of the battle fleet's world-circling voyage. That, too, was the last big target practice of the Atlantic fleet pror to the one now in progress. In contra-distinction to the target work at that time limited to firing at stationary canvass screens with gun platforms absolutely steady, the gunners on shipboard are now forced to maintain . their aim with moving targets in rough water, while their own boats are likewise riding a choppy sea. This year's change from uninter rupted aim by the gunners in still waters has materially reduced the average in target scores, but on the other hand is believed to have greatly increased the efficiency of the men be hind the guns. The rough water con ditions have afforded new experiences on all sides even to the commanders of the various ships, who, while gun nery work is in progress, are contin uously In the conning "lowers person ally directing operations. The battleships Louisiana, New Hampshire, Nebraska. Minnesota. Georgia, Rhode Island. Mississippi and New Jersey are stil reported to be leading with the . Virginia. Vermont, Connecticut, Kansas, Wisconsin, Mon tana, Ohio, North Carolina. Idaho and New York following..

'CIAL' ROBBERY.- " (By, the Associated Press.) - Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 4. In an address before the City Club today; Gifford Pinchot chief of the forestry bureau, said he did not desire to talk on forestry but would like . to talk about conservation . of natural - re sources,, which, he said, was one of the greatest movements of the times. The llnea m this country are being pretty closefy drawn between those who stand for good government and those who stand for , special privi leges," he said. 'The square deal is what - we seek in -the controversy be tween the people and the money in terests. I feel that the time has come for men to stand up and.be counted. "we shall come to see that this com- servation movement . is not entirely concerned with the monopoly on re sources. The men who control the natural resources of the country should be controlled by the whole people." . ; ' - .- ' Mr, Pinchot said that same point of view haa made it appear that for ests should be. presercved also makes it .clear that coal waste, should be stopped, water power developed and lands irrigated, the same point of view gees straight on and . applies to the great total of national efficiency. Con tinuing, Mr. Pinchot said: ' "There are the Roosevelt policies, they are the Taft policies." FEDERAL BUILDING WORK.

Bertha Brown, one of the refugees of the Raleigh red light district, who returned to the city last Monday and was given five days by the city author ities to pack up and leave, was arrest ed Thursday night on a charge of va grancy on a warrant issued by Justice of the Peace Charles A. Separk. The hearing was to have taken place before Mr. Separk Friday afternoon at six o'clock but Col. J. C. L. Harris, counsel for the woman, asked that his client be given a Jury trial. This was agreed upon and the trial was set for six o'clock yesterday afternoon. In the meantime a Jury was drawn by Justice of the Peace Separk from a Jury box procured from Justice of the Peace Harry Roberts. The names drawn were as follows: F. R. Wilson. John Stronach. James McKee. Capers White, T. I. Jones, W. W. Newman. J. P. Wray. Algle Hampton, Chum Brewster. Will Goodwin. Frank Koh ler, and W. M. Medlln. On Friday night the defendant was arrested by the city authorities and placed under a cash bond of $250 for her appearance next Thursday. Yesterday afternoon the Jurors, and all concerned, came together for the trial, but it was decided to postpone i the case until the hearing before the i Police Justice, at which time the de- fendant will be tried on the charge of keeping a bawdy house. Magistrate Separk's warrant charges her with vagrancy. It was reported last night that the names of at least three of the Jurors drawn by Justice Separk could not be found on either the 1907 or the 1909 Wake county Jury list In the. register of deed's office. If this Is correct it would appear to be necessary for an other Jury to be drawn in order that the law be followed as this requires justices of the peace to have a jury list of persons drawn by the county commissioners. The register of deeds has a Jury book which is purged every two years, on the first Monday In July. Any mag istrate can get a copy of the list for his township by applying at the office of the register of deeds, who furn ishes a certified copy. It was stated that neither Justice Separk nor Jus tice .Roberts had applied for the 1909 list, which has been available since It was made by the county commis sioners at the June meeting of the board.

This publication has not hurt: Mr. Winders among1 those who know him, but was conceived and published with a view to militate against his con firmation. That article, no doubt, emanated from the same source that preferred the charges against Mr. Winders. He has been postmaster here for the last eight years, and no office In the State has a better rating with the Postofflce Department for correctness, or In giving better service to the patrons than Warsaw postofflce. The charges . preferred to prevent his confirmation have been fully in vestigated and. have fallen flat The charges were made in - such rapid rotation It required two postof flce Inspectors to explain and utterly disprove every one of them to the en tire satisfaction of both Senators Sim mons and Overman d the postofflce department. Mr. Winders was confirmed by the Senate August 4, and now has his com mission for another four years. Inas much as. you published the communi cation of July 26, which was deroga tory to him and was inspired by no other than political and personal en mity, as a respect for right and justice you wilt kindly publish this.
