BEAT HIS WIFE.
And Nathan Springs Now Is Breaking
Rock On the Gang.
In the city court this morning Na
than Springs was charged with beat
ing his wife and creating a disturbance
at his home. Several witnesses testi
fied that Springs used a leather strap
on his wfe and that the woman
screamed for help. Cprings feared the
neighbors and left through the back
yard. He continued his flight to Se-
versville and stopped at the home of
Squire Severs where he admitted he
had raised a row at his home and
asked that he might submit the case.
This he did and the assault case was
not tried this morning. But, it did not
dawn upon Springs that he had failed
to mention to Squire Severs that he did
considerable cursing while the row was
on. The Recorder sentenced him to 30
days in the chain gang, judgment to
be suspended on the payment of $5
arid t'he costs. Springs could not pay
the costs so he went to jail.
Harry Wharton and Mitchell Brown,

DIVISION AGENCY
OF THESOUTHERH
Rumor Current Today That
This Great System Intends
Establishing Such An Of
fice in Charlotte
A rumor is current today that the
Southern railway intends to establish a
division passenger agency in Charlotte
While none of the officials of the road
here seem to know anything about, the
proposed agency, the rumor seems to
be well founded.
In a short while the Southern will
remove its passenger department from
Washington to Atlanta. This has been
definitely decided on.
Some time ago. Atlanta secured the
general freight offices of this company
and it was stated at the time that it
would only be a question of a short
while before the passenger department
would go to the Gate City also. With
the removal of the passenger depart
ment to Atlanta it will be necessary to
establish a division passenger agency
either in Charlotte or Greensboro. As
Charlotte is nearer the center of the
system, it is ...thought tnat this plum
will fall to Charlotte.
While many may be ignorant of the
fact but it is nevertheless true, the-'
Charlotte passenger office of the South
ern now transacts more business than
many of the division agencies that are
now maintained. This fact should
weigh something when the matter of
selecting a point for the division
agency.
If the Southern wishes to do some
thing to please Charlotte, it can give
us this agency and not half try. Char
lotte is the logical point and if such
an agency is thought of for any North
Carolina point it should be established
here.
CHINESE EMPRESS FAILING.
It Is Reported In London That Her
Strength Is Declining.
London, Feb. 5. The Odessa corre
spondent of the Telegraph says a dis
patch from Pekin, received by Prince
Achtomsky, states that the Empress
widow has lately shown signs of
steadily declining healtv although
there is no apparent impairment of her
Majesty's astute mental faculties or
governing capacities.
These symptoms were especially no
ticeable on the occasion of her recent
reception of the wife of the American
minister.
To Bring Bodies to the States.
Washington, Feb. 5. The collier
wbir-h is now at San Juan, will
carry to New York the bodies of nine
men who were killed in the explosion
o nthe battleship Massachusetts last
month. The difficulty over the removal
of the bodies that were buried at Port
Rico is that the law of the island pro
hibits removal until after a lapse of
five years.

CHANGES IN TEN YEARS.
Charlotte's Business Firms Change
Very Rapidly.
A lady of our city in looking over
some old receipted bills a day or so
ago was reminded of the great changes
that have taken place - the business
circles of Charlotte during the past
ten years. It would be difficult to re
call all of those who have passed out
cf our commercial life but the follow
ing list of old firms is suggestive of
former days and of those who have
labored for the upbuilding of our city:

CLIITOH CHAPEL
CASEJP AGAIN
Rehearing on Appeal of Col
ored Church Scandal Wi'l
Take Place in Superior
Court Next Week
The much talked-of case of the
State vs. the board of stewards of
Clinton Chapel, the well known color
ed church is set for hearing at the
next te:m of the Superior Court that
meets next Monday.
Most of Gharlotte people will recall
this now noted case. Those mentioned
in the bill of indictment which charges
embezzlement of the church's funds
are: Rev. A. J. Warner, William Jack
son, Reed Martin, Oscar Crane, Cicero
Smith, Will Moore and Sam Walker.
At the time of the alleged embezzle
ment A. J. Warner was the preacher
in charge of the church and the other
parties mentioned in the bill of indict
ment composed the board of stewards.
For some time the church property,
which is located on South Mint street,
was closed by an order of the Court.
Two rival factions in the church
sought to take charge and there was a
law suit. The case was decided in the
Superior Court but. the faction that
lest, appealed to the Supreme . Court.
Pending that appeal, the church
property was again closed to each war
ring faction. The Supreme Court af
firmed the decision cf the lower court
and since that time the Warner fac
tion has been holding forth.
In the meantime there was collected
a considerable amount for the purpose
of extensive improvements to the
church building and grounds. This
money was placed in the hands of the
pastor and board of stewards for
church purposes.' It is now claimed
that the trustees of the fund have
made way with the most cf it and in
consequence, the church property has
never been improved.
There is a large number of lawyers
interested in the case, both for the
prosecution and defense.
STILL IN UNION JAIL.
Safe Crackers Will Hardly Be Brought
To Charlotte.
The safe crackers are still in Union
county jail. It" now looks as if Char
lotte will not have an opportunity to
deal out justice to them.
A 'phone message frcm Monroe this
morning states that there is nothing
new in regard to the safe crackers.
They still maintain their unbroken
silence and the truth about the matter
is, there is very little evidence against
the men. That they are the gang or a
portion of the gang that has been
operating in this section there is little
doubt. They so thoroughly cover then
tracks that it is almost an impossibili
ty to connect them with any of the re
cent robberies in this section.
It is stated today that the State
Bankers Association will take a hand
in the prosecution of the four men con
fined in Union county jail. Just what
steps the bankers will take is not
known.
They Have Another Candidate.
Rome, Feb. 5. The Propaganda and
Vatican have received protests on the
part of clergy and laity in the diocese
of Los Angeles, Cal., against the pos
sible appointment of Bishop Conaty,
the vetiring" rector of the Catholic uni
versity at Washington, as bishop of
the diocese. The protestors are sup
porting the Very Rev. Patrick Hart
nett, rector of the Cathedral at Los
Angeles and Vicar, General .of the
diocese, for the position.

the Disputed Points'
HOPES THUS TO CAUSE

Status of the Case if Carried
to The Hague is Question
That is Interesting Folks
At the Capital
London, Feb. 5. According to gos
sip in diplomatic circles, the indica
tions are possible for a change in the
Germany policy toward Venezuela. The
Kaiser, having committed England to
the present measures., now shows a
disposition to take a graceful surren
der on some of the contested points in
the dispute. In the meanwhile the
slower-witted British Ministers are
still holding out on their original
ground. This action on the part of the
Kaiser, it is believed, will result-in a
more cordial American feeling toward
Germany and greater iritation against
England.
Legal Status Before "l he Hague.
Washington, Feb. 5. A question
which now receives the consideration
of Washington diplomats is whether, in
the event of reference of the Venezue
lan question, either in its entirety or
with respect to specific particulars of
disagreement, to Tha Hague tribunal,
the interested nations other than those
composing the Anglo-German alliance
may intervene. in behalf of their own
claiirs. Mr. Jackson H. Ralston, the
Washington attorney who represented
the United States in the Pious Fund
case at The Hague, and who is thor
oughly familiar with the international
law of the Disarmament Convention,
says there is no section of the con
vention which especially permits the
interested signatory powers of the
United States, France, Holland and
Spain to intervene should the question
of preferential treatment be referred to
the world's highest tribunal. He is of
the opinion, however, that a section of
The Hague convention, while noa spe
cific and somwhat narrowly defined in
its relation toward the peculiar ques
tion of differential treatment, will
cover the case and permit interven
tion. It is section 50 of the convention,
which reads:
"The award is only binding on those
who conclude the agreement or com
promise for arbitration. When there is
question of the interpretation of a con
vention to which powers other than
those concerned in the dispute are par
ties the latter may notify the former
cf the compromise they have conclud
ed. Each of these powere has the right
to intervene in the case. If one or more
of them avail themselves of this right
the interpretation contained in the
award is equally blinding on them."
Bowen Makes New Offer.
Washington, Feb. 5. It is learned to
day that Minister Bowen, in additioj
to extending the time during which he
would grant to allies preferential treat
ment in the collection of their claims
against Venezuela, has agreed, as evi
dence of good faith, to pay in cash to
each of the three powers immediately
upon lifting the blockade a specified
sum, reported to be in the neighbor
hood of twenty-five thousand dollars."
He had already made overtures in this
direction to Great Britain and this
morning told Baron Spec Von Stern
bers he would treat Germany and Italy
in the same manner.

business mm
Mr. J. L Tapp Retires From
Tapp-Long Co, Firm and
the Business is' Reorgan
ized on a. Ne,v Basis ,
A business change of unusual inter
est took place last night. .
Mr. J-. L. Tapp, president of the well
known firm of The Tapp-Long Co., dis
posed cf his holdings in the corpora
tion and is now no longer connected
with this well known establishment. .
At a meeting of the stockholders of
this company held last night Mr. Jul
ian Little was elected president. Mr.
H. Cy. Long vice president and Mr.
J. W. Cuthberton- secretary and treas
urer. The ieorg3nizaticn perfected
last night took charge cf the business
this morning.
Mr. Tapp has been president of the
company since the business was pur
chased from J. G. Hood & Co., about
three years ago.
The store has always been a popular
trading' place and its popularity for
the past three years has been on the
increase. Mr. Tapp is a business man
of splendid ideas and his ability as a
buyer and manager is recognized by
the trading public.
The company as reorganized last
night will continue the business and
success is assured.
Mr. Julian Little who succeeds Mr.
Tapp as president, is one of the most
popular young business men of this
section of the State. He 'is a young
man cf high character and exceptional
business ability. Mr. Little will as
sume? his new duties tomorrow.
Mr. H. Cy. Long, the vice president,
has been in this special line of busi
ness, mcst cf his life. He is thorough
ly capable and in every sense a good
business man.
Mr. J. W. Cuthbertson is one of our
mcst popular young business men. He
is capable and thoroughly competent
for the position he has held since the
present company purchased the busi
ness. Mr. Tapp has net decided what he
will do. He leaves Saturday for New
York and will be gone for a week or
ten days. His family will remain in
Charlotte and it is to be hoped that he
may see it profitable to again enter
business in Charlotte. During his
residence here he and family have
made many friends, all of whom
would dislike very much to see them
leave.

Mr. George T. Madden, of New York ;
City, succeeds Mr. W. I. Underwood, i
as editor of the Textile Excelsior. Mr. 1
Madden has arived and is now en

Death and Was Contest
ing Gudger's Election
Asheville, Feb. 5. Congressman J.
M. Moody died at his home at Waynes
ville this afternoon at 1:45 o'clock. He
had been ill for several weeks 'in
Washington before he returned to
Waynesville last Saturday morning.
He was in Washington hospital and
when it was seen how really serious
his condition was it was suggested by
his physician that he go home and
take a rest from his congressional
work.
It was thought that damp, cold
weather in the Capitol was injurious
to him, and that when he returned to
the high, dry and healthy atmosphere
to which he was accustomed that he
would recuperate. Dr. J. Howell Way
in a 'phone message from Waynes
ville this afternoon to Citizen said
tnat Major Moody had been in bad
health fcr three years although it was
not known to the public. He has been
critically ill for four days.
Immediate cause cf his death was
congestion of the lungs. About 3
o'clock this morning he lost con
sciousness and did not regain it up to
the time of his death. Major Moody
was 44 years old. He leaves a wife
and six children. The funeral -xiV oc
cur Saturday morning at 11 o'clock.
J. M. Moody was born in Haywood
county, near Waynesville, in 1859. He
studied law, was admitted to the bar
and his first political service was in
the state senate, where he rep
resented the thirty-eighth district. He
defeated Crawford, Democrat for Con
gress in the Ninth district, for the seat
he held up to the time of his death, the
election having been contested. Moody
was again a candidate from the Ninth
district in the campaign of 1902, but
was beaten by J. M. Gudger, tha Dem
ocratic nominee. He again contested
the election and through his attorneys
was collecting evidence preparatory to
the hearing of the case when stricken
with his last illness. Moody's death
leaves Mr. Gudger in pcacable pos
session of his seat.
Mr. Moody volunteered with the
First N. C. Regiment at the outbreak
of the Spanish-American trouble, was
commissioned major and went to Cuba
with the regiment.
