TRINITY HONORS ITS BENEFACTOR President Kilgo Pays a Beautiful Tribute to the Memory of the Late Washington Duke. Com mencement Season Greatly in Evidence in Durham. Special to The- Mews. Durham, N. C, june 6. Trinity Col lege commencement exercises began Sunday with a memorial address by Dr. John C. Kilgo in honor of Mr. Wash ington Duke. Dr. Kilgo began his address by say ing as follows: Mr. Duke was the greatest Southern philanthropist and Trinity College will be put on record today as having Re cognized the fact. Born in 1820 he lived through a great era of national devel opment. He lived through the period when the vast territory west of the Mississippi was acquired from foreign power and made into States and terri tories; through the developing period of railroad and telegraph lines. Mr. Duke embraced religon while he was quite a young man and never af terward did a friend or foe, poverty or riches move him from his steadfast ness. There was never afterward a tinge of suspicion on his moral char acter. He was endowed with great memory and a deep insite and could discuss the most partisan questions with accuracy and without hurting any one with per sonal remarks. He was as considerate to the hum blest as to his highest employe and a beggar on the streets never went un noticed. He was ever ready to help any good and worthy cause and no one was ever known to De turnea away uy mm when they were in need and went to him with their troubles. He loved his children as few fathers did and one of his sons has stated that he never knew him to do' a wrong; that he was always a kind father and was never heard to use improper lan guage. His wealth was nothing compared with the spotless reward he left. He had the conspicious honor of being the South's greatest philanthropist. Trinity owes much to him for it was through his efforts that Trinity was moved to Durham and modernized. He gave to Trinity simply because he believed in Christian education and considered the giving with a view to receive a great name as a most loathsome and disgust ing principal. . Main Street church was loved by him as no other church, and he never felt at home anywhere else. It evolved from a Sunday school and held in the factory and was made what it is through his efforts. Dr.- Kilgo closed his address by offer- . . A "1 1 J J. 1 a H IT -mm ing the beauntitui recora ien uy mi. Duke to the graduating class as a rec ord -worthy of study and that such a magnificent career should appeal to each of tbem, ? CHARLOTTE, RESIGNS M RESIGNATION 1WJCCEPTED Foreign Minister of France Leaves His Portfolio Under Short No tice. Premier Rouvier Will Succeed Him for the Present. Was Unexpected. Resignation of Del Casse Due to Failure French Policy in Morroc co, the Sultan Insisting Upon Submitting the Subject of Re form to Conference of Powers. By Associated Press. Paris, June 6. Foreign Minister Del Casse has resigned and his resignation accepted. Premier Rouvier will assume temporarily the portfolio of Minister of Foreign Affairs. The resignation of Del Casse is due to the failure of French policy in Mo rocco, the Sultan having practically re jected France's plans for the reform of the administration of Morocco by proposing that the whole subject be submitted to a conference of powers, signatory of the treaty of Madrid. EXONERATION FOR LOOMIS. While Bowen Will Be Removed From Diplomatic Service. Washington, June 6. The Bowen Loomis investigation is practically ended, although no formal announce ment of the result will be made until Minister Russell reaches here and gives his testimony. But it is not re garded as possible that this will change the conclusion. Loomis is to be exonerated of everything, aside per haps from slight indiscretions,, while Bowen will doubtless terminate bis diplomatic career. His furnishing the press "with in formation against Loomis is the mcst serious charge. His attempt to evade responsibility on the ground that he only reported to the State Department what was current gossip at Caracas has been rejected by the administra tion, which found plenty of evidence that Bowen sympathized With the an-ti-Loomis allegations. Loomis will doubtless in. the near future be promot ed to some position in the diplomatic service, and the asphalt controversy will have been removed. It is suggested that Bowen's friends may make an effort to have a Con gressional investigation next winter. It would be difficult to get a Republi can House to vote for it, however, and the chapter is presumably closed. DUMB 59 YEARS. Woman in Eastern Partvof State Re gains Speech After Many Years' Sil ence. Elizabeth City, N. C, June 6. Mrs. R. E. Perry, who lives on Beach street, recovered her powers of speech after 59 days, during which time she could not utter a word. About two months ago she was prostrated by an attack of the grip, one of the most severe cases ever known in this sec tion, and the loss of speech was one of the ways in which it affected her. When she had recovered from the sick ness still she could not utter a word, her tongue seemingly being paralyzed, and her people had almost lost hopes as to her ever speaking again. However, she suddenly regained the use of her tongue and can now speak as well as ever and she is happy. JOINT FLEET MANEUVERS. Admiral Beresford Wants English and Americans to Cooperate.
