MR. HARGETT INJURED.
His Buggy Demolished by Colliding
With a Rapidly Moving Street
Car.
Mr. Frank Hargett, a prosperous
farmer living near Matthews, met
with a very serious accident in which
he narrowly escaped death yesterday
afteimoon while on his way home.
Tne accident occurred a short dis
tance above the risidence of Dr. C.
A. Misenheimer, on Elizabeth avenue,
about 4:20 o'clock. Mr. Hargett was
driving up the avenue towards Eliz
abeth College when his horse became
frightened and suddenly darted across
the street car track and directly in
front of a city bound car. The Avenue
at this point is decidedly down grade
and in view of this the motorman had
not time to apply the brakes or reverse
the current.' Mr. Hargett's buggy was
struck Squarely and tomiietely demol
ished. He was thrown violently to the
ground but fortunately his injuries
were not of a serious nature. He was
driven to the office of Dr. J. P. Mathe
son, on North Tryon street, and his
injuries were attended to.
GOOD SHOW POOR HOUSE.
"Son of Rest" Did Not Have a Cor
poral's Guard Last Night.
A very poor house greeted "A Son
of Rest" at the Academy of Music last
night. The play was a good one and
deserved a much better reception than
was accorded it.
Two first class attractions have been
at the Academy within the past week
and both have played to almost empty
seats. Is this because the people have
grown tired of good plays or because
the management of the local theatre
is not properly advertising the same?
We leave this to the theatre goers to
answer for themselves.
Death of Mr. Cotidell.
Mr. A. B. Coddell ied this morning
at 6 o'clock at the Presbyterian Hos
pital after an illness of a few days.

proval of all concerned.

PROFESSOR JEIIKS
OH GOVERNMENT
OF DEPENDENCIES
Spoke at the Lake Mohonk Con
ference ot the Friends of the
Indian And Dependent Peoples
On th e Difficulties In the Way
of Government. '
Spoke Largely of the Phili ppines
And Our Duties There. The
Difficulties ot Race, Religion,
Custom and Prejudice.. A Br oad
Minded Tolerance Neebed.
By Associated Press.
Lake Mohonk, Oct. 19. At the Lake
Mohonk Conference of. the Friends of
the Indian r.nd Other Dependent Peo-i
pies, Jerernian W. Jenks, professor of
political economy and politice at Cor
nell Unuversity, spoke today on
"Some Difficulties in the Adminitsra
tion of Dependencies."
An abstract of his speech is given
below:
Some four years aio in speaking
with one of the high executive officials
in JavaN-egarding some important re
forms that were clearly needed there
I asked him why tney were not put
through. His answer in substance was,
"Because most of the officials at
home don't care. We are too far away."
I doubt not that our people m the Phil
ippines could properly make a similar
charge.
Another complaint in both English
and Dutch colonies is that the home
government will not give sufficient
power to the men on the ground. Su
perior officers at home are slow to
trust men in distant dependencies, and
even if they do trust them, they do
not wish to surrender power; while,
on the other hand, both because of the
added prestige which they would bavei
among the. people whose affairs they
are conducting, and because of the love
which every strong man has for ex
ercising his power.
In these complaints from both En-
glish and Dutch dependencies togeth
er with local conditions of nature and
civilization, we find the roots of most
of the difficulties which trouble all
rulers of remote dependencies.
On account of the remoteness and
lack of immediate proaaing, there is
on the part of legislators, as well as
on the part of the home people, too
great heedlessness regarding' the de
penrVncies... . -
"Tiii,Te'spo-ie2 hciwtevc w: VTr refer
ence to laws and their .administration.
Of perhaps more consequenc e in the
Ion run is the fiffculty which arise from
the sentiments of the people of the
home country regarding questons
which spring from the difference in civ"
ilizationof the dependent people. We
all recall, for example how much felling
there has been at times in the United
States regarding any action on the
part of the Phillipine authorities which
would seem to recognize even tempo
rarily the institution of polygamy andJ
of slavery among the Mohammedan
Moros of the Island of Mindanao. The
difficulty arising from uch! a cause
is, of course, a real one. We believe
that our government stands for the
best of civilization and thet neither of
those institution can be tolerated by
Americans; but the Moros, of course,
who have ben born and trained under
fifferent creeds and custonte naturally
believe sincerely intheir propriety and
beneficial effects. Webelieve also in re
ligious freedom and both slavery and
polygamy are recognized by the re
ligion of the followers of the prophet.
There can be no doubt that if we were
to give the Moros self-government,
both of those institutions would re
main. How shall we deal with such
problems?
I recall with interest the humorous
ly despondent tone in . which some of
the officials in Java commented upon
the opinions of the "old women of bth
sexes at home" whese views on vari
ous questions of social morality had
interfered with certain regulations re
garding the management and control
of the troops which the Dutsli officers.
nnr! thA Dutch enrernment n Java con
sidered essential for the health, and
miltary efficiency of both Dutch and
native soldiers.
To the same effect at times are re
marks of our officers in the Pliillipines
regarding the attitude oi'Mnaiiy of the
people of the United States concerning
the army canteen. No one else has an
interest so great as the officers in not
merely the military efficiency, but also
the moral character of the soldiers as
a necessay condition to high efficiency.
And these officers feel that with the
responsibility resting upon them, and
with what they believe to De their far
greater knowledge of conditions con
cerning the soldiers, they should be
allowed to use their best judgment in
settling that cuestion.
Manv srood neoDle are disposed to
emphasize the so-called weakness of
the Phillipine administration might
very well themselves if they were put
into similar circumstances, make fail
ures fully as great. We need particu
larly to recognize the difficulties of
the position and to use what influence
we can toward making the conditions
better rather than to find fault with
those who are struggling to overcome
the difficulties.
Although Americans as a iule have
dilated much in popular discourses
upon the doctrine of equality, -it still
remains true that the question of race
prejudice is r- very important one in
social and -political- relations in all
Arrival
Enthuses all
countries. If in any dependency the
inhabitants have customs that are de
cidedly different from those of the
dominant country, and especially if
the people belong to a different race
or color, there is usually the incli-
nation on the part of the rulers to see
with great clearness the weakness of
the people of the dependency. In many
cases, too, especially on the part of
the younger officials, there is little
sympathy with these weaknesses. In
some cases this difference of race re
sults in harsh treatment bv the offic
ials; in other cases, while they con
scientiously attempt to deal fairly and
gently with the subordinate people,
there is still a certain contempt for na
tives, especialy again on the part of
the lower officials, .hat is extremely j
annoying to the natives.
In India the officials, although com
pelled at times to accept the testimony
of natives, believe that the Hindus as
a rule have no feeling whatever of the
sancitity of an oath, and no moral
sense which requires them to speak
the truth. It is the opinion of many
Americans Uiat the Filipinos have
much of this same characteristic. The
remedy in the one case as in the other
is thought to be tiie introduction
however gradually, of Anglo-Saxon
ideas and ideals through education in
the schools, and through the indirect
influence of upright judges, conscien
tious officials, and truthful citizens.
The difficulties arising from race
difference appear also in the attempt
to use natives as officials. Their train
ing leads them to acts not permis'sable
under European or American law. The
fact that such difficulties are found I
need not and ought not to discourage
any country upon which has been im
posed the burden of dealing with the
dependent peoples. It is best to recog
nize frankly the difficulties and to sup
port cordially those who have them
to overcome,
We should send to these dependen
cies as officials, men of the highest a
bility and character, ana be willing to
pay enough both in salaries and in
other allowances to secure the best!
man for his position. We should then
give to those officials discretion and
power so that they, who are on the
ground, who know the conditions, and
who must bear the responsibility, may
act promptly and wisely. We should
euueavur io aeveion in ourselves a
broad-minded tolerance so that we can
recognize that in our dependencies
act may be beneficial and in conse
quence right that under the differing
conditions of our own country would
acts may be beneficial and iii conse-lhoine
wrong. At all events, we should , re
cognize, there are difficulties and the
greatness of these difficulties, so tjhat
while we" shall; condeia-any wifMg
doing or "selfish or: vmn St tlohs on
the part of the officials incrur depen
1feTiies, we shall have sympathy JwitL
the work of - our conscientious admin
istrators and shall stan readjr, to
give them our hearty support.

II STORY OF CRIME
TOLD BjJESEBTER
Ed. Carter, Who is Confined at the
Police Station Tells of "His
Criminal History, Says he.Had
Rather Live in the Phijfppines
Than in America.
Ed. Carter the deserter, who is con
fined at the police station, awaiting the
coming of an officer from Fort Mon
roe, was in a very talkative mood this
morning.
He gave, in detail, an account of. the
robbery of Mn Newton Leatherton's
at Plateau, in Catawba county. ,
He says he and a man by the name of
Duel Frady planned to rob a trunk in
MieaifierfcUj JaomfiThe man Frady
knew that Mr. Leather ton kept a large
amount, of money in the house and so
told him. '
It was agreed, "according to Carter,
that the robbery would take place in
the morning. So, at 8 o'clock, Carter
and Frady entered the house. They j
went direct to an old trunk and there
found $342 in bills and silver. They
which was m a drawer nearby.
Ttey left the ho.se, observed anj ,
went to the woods where a division of
the ill-gotten gain was made. Each took
$171.
Carter says that he immediately went
to Newton and placing $75 in an enve
lope direcled it to some friend. He
spent some of the money in Newton
and when arrested that evening he had
about half of his amount on his person.
He and Frady were tried and sentenced
to 15 months on the county roads'. Soon
therefore, he was hired to Gaston
county and was at the time of his arm
rest as a deserter from the army, work
ing on the roads of Gaston. He haH
served all of his sentence except one
day, when an" officer went over and
Drought him to Charlotte.
Carter enlisted in the army in Char
lotte ir 1898. He served four years in
the Philippines and returned with his
command, the Sixth Infantry, to Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas. It was from this
point he first deserted. He was after
wards captured and taken to Fort Mon
roe. While he was in the military
prison there he made his escape- and
went to Richmond, .Va. While there,
he was arrested for "beating traids"
and was sentenced to 50 days im
prisonment in the county jail of
Henrico county. After leaving there he
went to Catawba county where he com
mitteed the crime of robbery.
Carter speaks of his criminal record
almost jestingly. He does not seem, to
care what becomes of him. He says if
the officials had allowed him to remain
in the Philippines he would have been
satisfied with army life. He had rather
be a soldier in the Philippines than in
America.
It is thought that some one will come
after Carter either tonight or tomor-
