Rev. F. M. Hawley Wins a Sweep
ina Victory in His Suit.
Rev. Frank Morton Hawley has
been overwhelmingly vindicated m

W. W. Meadows, of Fulton, Ky., for

mise in which the plaintiff agreed to
pay over $2,000 damages and all
costs; to withdraw the complaint
made to the Presbytery and to agree
not to mention Mr. Hawley's name
in the suit which Mrs. Meadows is
bringing for divorce from her hus
band. It will be remembered that Mr.
Meadows and a band of men at
tacked and horsewhipped Rev. Mr.
Hawley, charging that he had alien

comnleteness of his vindication.

Wilmington, N. C... Nov. 30.
To the Baptists of North Carolina:
My attention has just been called
to a telegram signed and furnished
to the press, by Rev. Fred Hale, pas
tor of the First Baptist church of this
city, stating that on account of what
he terms tmforseen conditions the peo
ple of this city are reluctant or unwil
ling to open their homes to visitors
who wish to attend the Baptist con
vention which meets here next week.
I know of no conditions that have aris
en or could arise to cause such a
situation. I am informed ' that there
have been no proper, efforts made to
secure homes, the first intimation that
we have had that the delegates and
visitors were not properly provided for
being contained in the telegram re
ferred to. This is an unwarranted and
unjust attack on the hospitality of our
citizens, whose homes have been and
are now open to receive and entertain
the visitors. I am requested to say
that our people will cheerfully provide
entertainment to all who may desire
to attend the Baptist convention next
.veek and will take pleasure in mak
ing provision for any delegats, visitors
ind ladies who will wire or write me.

Army And
Navy Meet
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 30. The
Quaker City is the gathering place to
day of members of the social sets from
almost every city of the east and many
of Washington's official coterie, all of
whom are here for the great annual
gridiron contest on Franklin field this
afternoon between tne football teams
of the West Point and Annapolis aca
demies. Philadelphia is in gala attire in honor
of the event. The black, gold and gray
of the army, and the blue and gold of
the navy are flying everywhere, and if
other evidence was lacking that some
thing of importance is about to take
place it needs only a glance into the
corridors of any of the prominent hotels
to see the scenes of animation.
At noon it was apparent that as large
a. crowd as ever attended an army and
navy game on the University of Penn
sylvania's gridiron would be on hand
to see.the. struggle. . ' -
Many special trains came in during
the forenoon from Waschington, New
York, West Point, Annapolis and in
termediate points, bringing representa
tives of the navy and war departments,
rear admirals, major generals and offi
cers of all other grade down to the
plain privates, jackies and marines..
Among the unbiased prophets the
army team rules the favorite, the judg
ment being based on the showing of
the two teams during the season. The
West Point boys have played stronger
elevens and therefore have had a lit
tle more experience. Against the strong
est teams they have made an excellent
showing.
Th Annapolis team, however, is con
sidered above the average of past
years and is counted upon to give the
embryo generals a hard tussle for the
honors.
The game this afternoon will be the
13th of the series played by the two
academies. Of the 12 games played the
navy has won five and the armj' seven.
Last year the navy was victorious by a
score of 10 to 0.
A Fuller Story.

Philadelphia, Nov. 30. The Army
and Navy of the United States, or
that much of the personnel as could
find an excuse to get away from
official duties are in Philadelphia to
see the battle on the football field
between the West Point and Anap
olis teams.
The contest betwreen the cadets at
tracted an enormous crowd, and the
vast assemblage will be thoroughly
representative of the national gov
ernment, j
Though the president will not at
tend he will be represented by his
daughter, Ethel. The Army, in the
absence of Secretary Taft, will be
represented by Assistant Secretary1
Oliver and Secretary of the Navy
Metcalf, with Assistant Secretary
Newberry, who will head the Navy
contingent.
Supporting them on all sides will
be admirals of the navy and gen
erals of the army, not to say any
thing of the hundreds of other offi
cers of the two branches.
A small army of military and naval
men, accompanied by members of
their families, arrived here yester
day. Nearly 20,000 football visitors came
here in special trains from all direc
tions. The game was played on the
Franklin field, under the manage
ment of the University of Pennsyl
vania. Both teams were confident of
victory and a great game was ex
pected. MRS. M'CANE BURNED. .

Passionate Oratory Mark"
ed Proceedings of The
Day in Famous Trial
Many Ladies in The
Court Room.
Turner Opened For The
Government Asked
Jurors to Consider Case
As if Man Were Invol
ved The Speeches.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 30. Passionate
oratory marked today's proceedings
in the trial of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley,
charged with the killing of former
Senator Brown, of Utah.
The court room was .unable to ac
commodate the great number of people
who came to witness the last scenes in
the tragedy that has attracted nation
al attention for nearly a year.
Many of the attendants were ladies
and some of them arrived at the city,
hall long before the doors of the court
room were opened, in order to secure
desirable positions.
Mrs. Bradley came into the court
room as if fully alive to the import
ance of the proceedings. She took her
accustomed place, where she could be
plainly seen by the jurors and very
near her counsel.
The day was devoted to hearing' ar
guments by attorneys of both sides ot
the case. Assistant District Attorney
Turner opened for the government and
he was followed by Mr. Wells, of the
counsel for the defense. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney opened for the govern
ment, saying there was no space in
considering the case for sympathy,
passion or prejudice, but that the jury
must answer the question, under their
oath. He urged the jury to consider
the case on the same basis as if it
were a man involved, and as if it were
an ordinary mind involved instead of
the brilliant mind of Mrs. Bradley.
Pistol Introduced.
While describing the scene of the
killing of Senator Brown an atten
dant delivered to the district attor
ney a small package containing the
pistol that had been used by Mrs.
Bradley. The defendant evidently
recognized the weapon as it was un
covered and laid at a convenient
place near Turner. Closing her eyes
she remained as if in a stupor only
occasionally looking toward the jury
and watching their faces.
Turner exhibited the defendant's
pistol to the jury, together with a
handbag with which it had been
carried from Salt Lake City until
Senator Brown was shot, Mr. Tur
ner reviewed the evidence of insan
ity and declared that there was only
the most trivial incidents could be
cited to justify such a theory. He
insisted that the jury should discord
all thought of the mistreatment she
had received from Senator - Brown,
as it could have nothing to do with
their decision.
Overcame With Emotion.
As he proceeded he turned slight
ly pale and leaning on a nearby
table paused, then sat down. He
had been overcome by emotion and
nervous shock. Leaving the room
for a few minutes with the district
attorney the court suspended pro
ceedings until he returned and re
sumed his argument.
Turner characterized as dangerous
the woman who considered a man
not her husband more sacred to her
than does a wife herself. He said
that even a horse doctor could have
discerned that Mrs. Bradley when
she shot Brown was not suffering
from toxic insanity.
Miss Abernathy Returns to Hickory.
Miss Lallie Abernathy, of Hickory,
who has been in the city attending
King's Business College for a few
months has returned to her home in
Hickory and accepted a position as
stenographer with 'Mr. W. A. Hall, of
that place. Miss Abernathy is a
charming young lady and won many
warm friends during her short stay
here who regret very much to see
her leave, though they wish her great
success in her future undertakings.
Comparison of Receipts.
The receipts on the local market
today were 225 bales at 10 to 11
cents. The same day last year, 399
bales were sold at 11. lo.
The receipts of cotton from first

726 bales less than what was sold
to the same date last year, the re
