MILL MENACQUITTED Government's Charges Fall Down Completely NO LAW HAS BEEN VIOLATED Counsel for the United States Throws Up the Sponge in the Presecuticn of the Charlotte Mill Men Charged With a Violation of the Statutes Forbidding Importation of Alien labor. Greensboro, N. C, Special. Neve has there been a more impressive bcene in Jmlje Boyd's eourt than was enacted at 0 o'clock Thursday evening when counsel for the gov 'rnment in the penalty iits against the Charlotte luill men, Edward A. Smith and Sumner B. Sargent, ask ed the court to instruct the jury to bring in a verdict in the defendants' f:vor in the asc on trial, and to make entries of a nonsuit in the other crises and a nol pros in the caso for conspiracy. Thus suddenly and ut "xpeefedly was brought lo a close a case that Iras attracted the atten tion of the cotton manufacturers in every section of the United States, alter nearly two weeks has been spent i:i the trial. After the day bad been spent in examining a number of witnesses, for the ?)veriiniont, court adjourned several for the defendants and a few at 4 :.'J0 o'clock Thursday afternoon. jH 0 o'clock counsel for the govern ment informed the judge that after a conference they had agieed to sub mit to a verdict in favor of the de fendants and asked that court be con vened for tli is purpose. The jury, dc fedants and defendants' counsel were accordingly summoned and a few minutes uter the court was opened. Assistant Attorney General Cooley, whose frank and candid manner has won tr him the friendship of overy one who has met him since coming to Greensboro, spoke for the govern ment. In' a few words he told the court that the counsel had held a conference and d&klod that the course they were taking was the prop er thing to do. He ex-pressed the opin ion that the government was not en titled to recover and asked that his honor instruct the jurv to find in the in . ' cteiendants' Javor. Mr. Cooky's re marks were very timely and expres sive of the feelings he entertained. Judge Boyd Complimentary. Judge Boyd spoke briefly. lie said that he thought that the government had taken the proper course in the matter. It was their duty as public officers to investigate the immigra tion of the laborers and to bring the suits if they thought the circumstan ces warranted such, action, but that they displayed the true spirit in the course they took. He complimented the attorneys appearing in the case and expressed his approval of the manner in which the easa bad been brought to an end. The judge in structed that the following be en tered as the verdict of the jury: "The jury finds for the defendants and for a verdict say that ihe plain tiff is not entitled to recover upon any of the causo of the action alleg ed in the complaint" District Attorney Holton then an nounced that he would take a nol pros in the other case, in which Edward A. Smith, Sumner B. Sargent, E. C. Dwelle and Thomas M. Costello are the defendants, the government suing ior $50,000 as penalties for the al leged violations of the immigration law in importing alien labor. He al so took a nol pros in the ease against the four men, charging them with conspiracy to violate the immigration laws. Judge Eoyd instructed that the proper entries be made. Strother Brothers Not Guilty. Culpepper, Va., Special. After being out one hour and a half tbi jury in the case of James and Philip F. Strother, on trial for the murder of William F. Bywaters, returned a verdict of not gUi'lty at llilO a. m. Thursday. The jiirors retired to the jury joom immediately after Judge Hsirison had put the case in their hands. Then began the most trying tt or trie ordeal ror tne defendants. The strain was most apparent on tba face of Philap Strother, the younger defendant, while James appaiensly was confident of a favorable verdict. He set in silence, listening to Ihi com ments of his counsel, and occasion ally offered words of consolatiri to h.. wife, who sat at his side. As the minutes sped by the situatim be came more strained, many in the court room taking the delay as an unfavorable sign to the accused. Judge Harrison, himself, keyed to a hugh pitch, paced restlessly up and down the narrow space behind, his bench, while the counsel for both sides gathered to discuss the mean ing of what seemed to them a delay.

NOT TO APPLY TO HAWAII Recent Decision of Attorney General Under Law Prohibiting State Pay ing Passage of Foreigners Has Al ready Caused Considerable Agita tion on Island. Washington, Special. It was au ihoritively stated Friday that the re--ent opinion of the Attorney (Jeneral in which he held that it is unlaw ful under the recently enacted im migration law for a State to pay the passage of intending immigrants or to assist immigration except by ad vertisement will not apply to the Is land and Hawaii. In lhat country the lecision has already caused consider able agitation under the auspices of the Territorial Immigration Society immiKrants are being brought to the island from Kurooo and the Azores to trtke the place of Japanese labor ers on the ugar plantations. This has been sanctioned by the United States government and a shin loml of immigrants recently brought from the Azores islands have proved very satisfactory. A conference was held Friday at the Department of. Commerce and Labor the President by Attorney General on the opinion recently sub mitted to Bonaparte on the South Carolina immigration case. It is aot so clear, however, in the view of tJie officials of the Department of Comerce and Labor, that the Attor ney General's opinion sustains the opinion of the Department that the immigiants landed at Charleston, S. C, last November are legally in this country. It is so clear, however, that, under the law, other immigrants whose passage to this country is paid by either States or individuals acting for States, may be landed in America before July 1 next, when the provision of the new immigration law goes into effect.

On the whole the law-tat ken of North Carolina have done welL The largest number of bill of any Legislature in the butory of the Stat has len passed. Ninety per eenf of these bills we purely local and of no general publie interest. A number of public laws were made. Important Public Lavs. The revenue and machinery acts now in force were re-enacted with out much change. - The State banks are exempt from the franchise law. Liberal appropriations to all State institutions were made, and it is the first time since the war that such in stitutions have been adVpiately pro vided for. All insane persons will be eared for. A number of new institutions, such as the Reformatory, the Eastern Training School.' the Spray sehool of Technology and the Sanitorium for Consumptives were established. The osteopths were recognized and ?iven a charter and a board of exam iners so that frauds may be excluded. The new 'county of Lee was made from Moore and Chatham. A j-hell fish commission was estab lished . Th salaries of State officers were eqi;a!i.nl and all fees will be turned into the State Treasury. This will mak"; vt i y little difference in the pay now received by the various officers, but. the method is more dignified. The salaries of the Superior Court judges were increased $250. This should have been made $1,000 oi $1,50). Tt i a 'notorious fact that any ljoh-tfciicd lawyer with any sort of ability and industry can make more 'hn the ji.Iges who preside over the Superior Court. The Attorney General is allowed an assistant ludi! the present term i: our. McDowell 'Dry, Anson Wet. McDowell county was made dry and Anson wet. The people of Scotland Neck will vote on prohibition.

The railroads of North Caro line have never charged fares for children under 5, but "the new bill contains this provision: "For trans porting children 12 years of age and umler" the railroads may not make any charge for the infants and tiny tots, but they have the legal right to do it.

North Carolina Law-Makers Finish Their Work and Adjourn. The sixty day limit of the legisla ture expired Saturday, but because of much' unfinished work the body was iorced to meet again Mondav. The investigating committee made is report exouorating the conference committee on the rate bill from the charge of being influenced in fixing the famous CO-mile limit. A feature of the day was a red- not speech by Speaker Justice, who took the floor and denounced in bit ter lansruace the Senators and others who had opposed his amendment to ine anti-trust bill. The Speaker, bow ever, later apoligked fcr bis action. Saturday a Busy Day. ' Both branches of the general as sembly had a busy day Saturday.

There were many bills ratified. The bill regulating the investment of the reserve fund of inusrance com panies doing business in North Caro lina, being . reported unfavorably by the committee, Mr. Lockhart, its au thor, brought it up on a minority re port. A joint resolution that the general assembly adjourned at" 12 o 'clock Mon day, provoked mueh discussion. Mr. Justice, from the floor,' called atten tion of the house to the many very important bills which had not been passed. He said that unless th sen. ate moved faster than it was doing, and this house passed a resolution to adjourn Monday, the probability was that members would go hoing dis credited .by not having fulfilled their pledges to the party and to the peo ple. Mr. Blounti and other rcensbers spoke on the same line, declaring that it was the duty of the, members to stay here a month longer if it shnnM i be necessary to carry out Democratic pledges, or to enact laws necessary for the good of the state. Mr. Clifford, the introducer of the resolution, withdrew it. JEROME IS BLOCKED Defmas Heads Htm Off st All Points FEATURES IN TRIAL OF THAW Well High Ceasless Battle Between Leading Consel for Defense and Prosecution in Thaw Case. New York, Special. On the first day of the State's rae in rebuttal at ihe trial of Harry K. Thaw District- Attorney Jerome came to a temporary standstill against the prac tically solid wall the rule of evidence have built around the story of Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw." Mr. Jerome began to attack this story as soon a court opened. There ensued a well nigh .easless battle between the prosecutor and Delphin M. Delmas, the leading eouiwel for the defense, at the end if which Justice Fitzgerald upheld the rule laid down at the beginning ot the trial that young Mrs. Thaw's tory was admissiable only as tending to show the effect it might have had in unbalacing the defendant's mind and that its truth or falsity is not material. Mr. Jerome tried to avoid this rule by declaring he was endeavoring merely to show by inference by circumstantial evidence as to facts and details in the story that Mrs. Thaw could not possibly have told the story to her husband. May Attempt an Alibi. Although he will doubtless be blocked by the same rule when the time comes, it is said the district at torney may attempt in the same way to prove an elibi for Stanford White on the night he is alleged to have maltreated young Miss Nesbit. Nine-tenths of the day's sessions were spent in the argument and in nearly every instance when the smoke of conflict cleared away Mr. Delmas had won his point as to the law, while Mr. Jerome in the very argu ment itself had got before the jury a perefct knowledge as to what his witnesses would have testified to had they been - permitted. The district attorney called 10 witnesses during the day, but aside from drawing from 'he State's eye-witnesses to the ragedy the- opinion that Thaw seemed rational the night he hot md killed Stanford White, little real ladway was made. Lining up all his forces in rebuttal, Mr. Jerome decided to open his .ight upon the defense by attacking the story told the jury by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. He called to the stand Frederick W. Longfellow, formerly m attorney for Thaw, and asked him first concerning the case in which Ethel Thomas is alleged to have sued Thaw for. damages because of cruel treatment. Mr. Delmas abjeeted to questions along the line under the professional privilege of lawyer and client, but before Justice Fitzgerald sustained the objection and ruled out the evidence, Mr. Jerome declared: "The story of the girl tied to the bed post and whipped by Thaw is the story of Ethel Thomes. This poor girl is now dead." Here Mr. Del mas interposed an objection to the district attorney's remarks and the latter began an attack along a dif ferent line. Fire at Brunswick.

The Su preme Court of the United States denied the petition of B. F. Sprinkh and others, of North Carolina, for c writ of review in the proceedings agaginst them on the charge of carry ing on the business of rectifying dis tilled spirits with the intention of de frauding the government. The case was decided against them by the Cir cuit Court of Appeals for the fourth circuit and the result of the ruling will be to permit that decision to stand. Live Items cf News.
