I WILL CISEP8h Farther Hearing Before Judge Whedbee Sept. 30 Refuses Restraining Order (Special to The Times.) Greensboro, Sept. 17.- Sitting In chambers last night, Superior Court Judge H. W, Whedbee granted a temporary order restraining the stockholders of the State Dispatch, of Burlington, from holding further meeting or making any transfer of stock, but declined until further hearing to order the discontinuance of editorials or articles in the pa per boosting the candidacy of Roose velt and Johnson. The second hear ing of the matter will be held at Durham September 30th, and at that time Judge Whedbee will decide upon the question of restraining the publication of the progressive doc trine. The suit Is based upon the action of majority stockholders of the paper voting to revert its sup port from the republican to the pro gressive party. Republican stock holders resorted to the : courts, claiming that the paper had been incorporated as a republican paper and, for the purpose of "espousing republicanism and republican can didates," and that as such, stock holders had no right to change its policy. Judge Whedbee held last night that an act by him in forbidding the publication of any class of editorials TRAIN WAS ROBBED Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 17. Two masked men hold up the South ern rallwa'y Memphis special, west bound, at one-thirty.' this morning, near Stevenson, Alabama. Tl.e mail car was looted but the amount secured is unknown. - r The men boarded the train at Stevenson, entered the mail car and covered the four clerks with pis tols. Three clerks were bound and the fourth ordered to open the reg istered mall sacks from which the robbers filled a bag with packages. After the car was ranBackod the fourtt; clerk was bound and the rob bers pulled the emergency cord, stopping the train. The engineer and conductor found the mall clerkB almost smothered under mall sacks. The train proceeded to. Huntsville, where the sheriff organized a posse to search for the robbers. tmn Several Thousand. Memphis Sept. 17. Thirty-four pieces of registered mall were taken by the robbers. The postoffice offl clala deny that any large amount of valuable mail is missing, but the loss, it la believed, amounta to several thousand gollgrsj i k GO!!" or articles without going fully into the facts of the stockholders meet ing could easily be construed as a ruling against the freedom of the press or free speech. Under the ruling of Judge Whed bee, Editor .Hoffman can continue to boost i the Roosevelt and' John son cause until the Durham hear ing, while the stockholders can not hold any meeting and no stock holder can transfer his stock. A rather sensational turn last night was the declaration by Post master J. Z. Waller, of Burlington, a Taft stockholder, that the ma jority vote in favor of changing the paper from a Taftto a Roosevelt organ was secured by fraud. Mr. Waller charges that stock was dis tributed among Roosevelt men and that the stockholders meeting, which decided to change the policy of the paper, was packed with stock holders who in reality had paid nothing for stock, but to whom it had been given to the end that they might override the wishes of the Taft stockholders.

Al though only three and a half montba Intervene before the expiration by denunciation of the existing pact, there has been absolutely no prog ress during the past three months1 in the negotiations for a new treaty.
