Mr. Newton, set up the claim tl
Dr. Crlppen was not convicted either I
by facta or the law goreraia* crlm-i

dent evidence was not adduced to
?how that the remains found In the
eirilacr of Crfppen's home ^ at 39 Hill
drop Creaeent, North London, were
those of Belle Elmore Crlppen; that
the evidence did not prove con

fair grounds in Raleigh on Novem
ber 16th and 17 th, whea the Newa

held, la growing more intense. The
fact that no where elae.it) North Car
olina ha* more than one machine
been contracted to appear, and the
fact that thla la a two day meet cen
ters interest la Raleigh.
__T^e Norfol^fioutbcm Is arranging
to take care of the demand on their
line. It is probable that either a spe
cial train will be operated so'As to
have a late afternoon train agoing
East or that the regular train will
be held after 3 o*clo<5k was done dur
ing the fair.
Then there ia the night express
out and thefce two trains can take
care of about two thousand people
returning, who can come in on two
convenient morning trains. The
same low rates given by tl^e other
railroads apply on the Norfolk South
ern. X
At the Great State Fair grounds
every preparation wil be made to
take care of the multitude which
will assemble to watch the manoeu
vres of the flying machines. The gen
eral impression in some-sections that
the machines soar aloft like balloons
Is being dispelled. I
The daring and Interesting part
of the flight* is very near the the

YET SETTLED
Kew York, Nov. l.-i-lo the hope
that br tbe efforts of Oovernor
White of New York, Ud Oovernor
K*t of New Jersey, iwici can be
brought About tn the eiprua strike
that Is ciusing an Immense loss to
the companies Involved and Injuries
to scores Of persona In street riots,
efforts are being made to Induce the
two officials to act.
It la believed that tho could compel
the companies to arbitrate with tho
drlvera aad helpers who are Bfhtlas
tor higher pay',
ft la upon theoe two men that the
chief hope of averting a national la
bor disturbances rests.
Tho situation that (raw out of the
small strike la lm?r City aad Hoho
*?e Is (rowing mora menacing hour
A Uo op of everything on wbeela
In Greater New York la planned to
aid tho striking express man. oncers
of Us International Brotherhood of
Teamsters will n?est tonight to do
clde on action.
Should they decide to call out their
entire memberahlp tn a sympathetic
?tribe It will mean that within a few
deya wagons, trucks delivery carta,
hacks and taxlcabe wkH disappear
from tie street*. Secretary C. W.
Foster of the teamsters union, an
nounced today thla step will be taken
unless the express companies agree
on peace terms.
Nine hundred more men Joined the
expressmen'8 strike today. Three
hundred of them were'employee of
the O. K. Express Company, an up
town concern, and the remainder con
slated of helpers, checkers, weigh
ers and portera of the Adams and
American Bxpreaa Companies. Thlc
crippled the work of removing the
freight from cara and made the sit
uation most serioua.
Governor Fort has already held
a conference with executlvea of the
United States, Adams. Wells-Fargo
and American Express Companies and
with the strikers.
The stagnation here today was so
great that public officials and big
business Interests were ready fbr a
drastic move to prevent the trouble
from spreading further. "^Already
hundeds of thousands of dollars loss
has arisen from the strike and the
situation Is growing worse hourly.
Conflicts between the strikers and
their sympathisers and the strike-,
breakers have called out practically
the entire reaerve police forces of
New York to prcjtect the property of
the express'companies and keep down
violence.
A vigorous protest was made to
day against the toanning of express
trucks and wagons by policemen. It
was pointed out that, should an un
expected dlaaater arise there would
not be sufficient police to protect the
public.
When the executive committee of
the International Brotherhood meeta
tonight reports will be received
from agenta in this country and from
walking delegatea who have been en
gaged alnce last Saturday in other
cities organlalng express companies
drivers and helpers.
Makes Impression.
A large number attended the ser
vices at the First Presbyterian church
last evening was heard with dellgbt
and profit the sermon of Rev. W. A?
Cleveland, who (s here assisting the
pastor In a series of meet^g; Much
Interest being manifested in the
meetings and no doubt much good
will be accomplished ere the meeting
closes.
Mr. Cleveland is earnest, painstak
ing and thoughtful. He preaches in
a way to attract and insfruot. The
4 o'clock services are resultlug In
much good and the attendance on
them has exceeded the expectations
of the moat pangulne. There will be
preaching again thla evening at 7:30
o'clock to which the general public
la cordially invited. ,
Oh, yes, it's easy to think you will
get up early In the morning!; > .

IHDpHTEST BOOMS!!
Race For District Honors And Chaperonship Grows
More ffe&tcd?Subscriptions Getting Bijr Values
Cam p^nen Hard At Wort And Anxioua to Win
After Many Wesks Of Real Effort? Up To The Pub
lie Now.
Native
All candidates will be given until
4 o'clock this evening to report u)
supposed error In their rote count;
otherwise the published rote stand
ing will considered accept as it ap
pears. This is due to the neoeastty
of disposing or ths lmmenae pile of
clipped coupons that hare bean col
lected from tlsse to tiaie during the
cbntest.
The Set Offer.
Already a number of the candidates
hare begun the active teal campaign
for coateat subscriptions, and the set
offer ts proring a winner yesterday
thdre were three sets turned la by two
candidates who hare started the per
iod off with the proper determina
tion.
Sets msy be formed la many waye,
provided the amounts are la new sub
scriptions of not Isss than f 1.60. For
instance: One fire year subscription;
two two-year subscriptions and one
for one year; three one year subscrip
tions and one two-year; five one
years; ten six-months subscriptions;
Ave six-months subscriptions snd
three one-rears will constitute a set
and 9^1.50 on another set. In other
words, there ere sny number of
msnners in which a set may bo made
eip, and the money may be turned
Into this office in any amount at a
time, provided only that no subecrlp
llcn for less tlym $1.50 will be ap
plied on a set.
Naturally one would think "What
am I to get for the 91.00 subscrlp- I
4Ions?" Tha answer.is, UyU every
91.00 new subscription 100 extrs
votes sre allowed.
As sn example of the above offera:
A ballot on a new flve-year subscrip
tion Is filled out for 7,800 votea.
Then, when it Is received st this of
fice certificate* are Issued for 1,600
extra votes?being 100 bonus votes
on each dollar new. Then, when the
judges go over the contest records
5.000 extra votes sre accredited to
the csndidate on that particular ?u'?
scrlptlon. The subscription has thoa
counted for 14,300 VOTES! Think of
It! Almost, but not quite, equal 'to
the double vote offer! See the op
portunity?
Manner of Closing
There have been several Inqulriee
as to the manner of closing the con
test; why |t would not be possible for
the contest manager or some other
person to give out important infor
mation at the last minute; how bsl
lots will be deposited, etc. This will
all h? duly explained In ample time,
but for the Information of those who
may wish to know immediately Me
y say that no person but the can

lgaue of tbe News of ths following

of tbe entire contest. '
How They Htand
One thing Is certain, and evident
to everyone Interested, and that Is
that the rare Is exciting. The nearer
the finish we get. the nearer we come
to being unable* to "place a safo bet"
on the outcome of the struggle. Not
only is this true of the district con
tacts, but^ll is so ju regarda the chap
eron. Affairs have reached' a'stTge
where It's nlp-end-tuck % between the
first snd second districts for the hon
ors of the chsperonshlp.
But whatever the outcome, remem
ber this: FINAL RESULTS ARE
GOING TO DEPEND WHOLLY UP
ON THE PRESENT PERIOD!" Rare
ly, If ever before, has there been
such s closely contested struggle for
contest prises. That Is the resson
we can safely say that it all depends
upon this lsst period. To date the
race Is apparently even between cer
tain candldatee in the contest. This
isn't often the case, but It' happens
to be so in this Instance. Also?'
THERE ARE CERTAIN APPARENT
LY WEAK CANDIDATES WHO ARE
GOING TO SHOW EVERYBODY A
SURPRISE AT THE FINISH! Do
we know who they are? W*ll, we
hsve a pretty good idea, quite as has
anyono else who has been watching
the progress of the contestants indi
vidually as well as collectively.
The voting indtcatea something, so
look out for s surprise!
Putting It Strong.
Senator Overman said at Hender
sonville that, rather than accept a
fee while Senator to procure the
'bringing of a caae like the 8outh
Dakota bond suit against North Car
olina. he would accept a fee to ahoot
his own mother. That li a strong
way of putting It. but it would not
be a greater crime in the forum of
morals.?News and Observer.
No I*vayrrmer<ln?.
On account of the series of meet
ings In the First Presbyterian and
First Baptist churches, there wlU be
no prayermeetins service* In tbe otli
er churches of the city this evening
as is usual custom. All are cordial
ly Invited to attend the services at
both the Presbyterian and Bsptist
