Negro Burglar
Is Captured
Special to The News.
Asheville, N. C, Feb. 27. Word was
received from Waynesville last Tues
day that early in the morning the
house of Mr. Charles Lee, in North
Waynesville, was entered by a negro
biTTlar. He entered the room where
little Maude Lee was sleeping. She
immediately awoke and seeing the ne
gro by her Dedside, screamed. Her
screams awoke her father and other oc
cupants of the house, who immediately
gave chase to the negro, who had dash
ed through a window and dropped to
the ground.
A light snow had fallen, and the man
was tracked to Clyde, 7 miles distant. A
telephone message was sent from that
point to Canton, instructing the chief
of police to arrest the negro if he
reached that place, and on the arrival
of Mr. Lee and others at Canton, the
negro was found locked up, he having
arrived at Canton, shortly after the
telephone message had been i-eeeived.
The negro, whose name is Alex. Gam
bell, was taken back to Waynesville
and identified by Maude Lee. He is
now in jail at that place, and as the
penalty for housebreaking in this state
is death, and it is not unlikely that
Gambell will hang for his crime.
There have been a number of burgla
ries in and around Waynesville of late
and -the intruder has always manag
ed to escape, it is now thought that
most of the burglaries have been the
work of this negro.
Discuss Wages
With Miners
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 27. Coal op
erators of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, composing the
central competitive field, assembj0'! in
conference today with the national
officers of the United Mine Workers of
America and the district officers of the
same territory to decide whether a
joint conference of miners and opera
tors shall be called to re-establish the
interstate wage agreement.
The wage agreement which has he-en
in force for three years past will ex
pire by limitation the first of April.
Efforts to bring about its renewal have
so far been unsuccessful. When the
joint conference met here the latter
part of January it found it impossible
to accomplish any definite results. The
miners were inclined to hold out for an
increase in wages and several import
ant modifications in the conditions of
labor. The operators, on the other
hand, contended that the prevailing de
pression in all lines of industry and
the decreased earnings of the mining
companies rendered it impossible to
grant an increase in wages. The opera
tors hinted, mareover, that present con
ditions would justify a cut rather than
an advance in wages. In this frame
of mind the operators and miners ad
to any unaerstanamg.
Since the January conference ad
journed the operators and miners of
the several states have discussed the
question and in most instances have
practically agreed to make some mutu
al concessions. As a consequence there
is an improved prospect for a re-establishment
of the joint relations that
have existed during the past three
years. The wage scale conference will
in all probability be called to assemble
next month, either in this city or in
Chicago.

pany. Adelaide Thurston's supporting com
pany, the coming season is said to be
the best that this clever little artist
has ever had. That is saying a great
deal, as Miss Thurston's support has
always been far above the average and
as a usual thing generally receives a
great deal of praise. Speaking to a
friend recently, Miss Thurston said:
"It took Pauline Phelps and Marion
Short three years to complete the man
uscript for "The Gill From Out Yon
der,' and it took me as many months
to determine who should assay the va
rious roles. I feel sure that the ma
jority of my audiences will agree with
me after seeing my present company
when I say it is by far my best." Miss
Thurston will be at the Academy, of
Music Friday matinee and night. Seats

Asheville, N. C, Feb. 27. James J.
Britt, of Asheville, who a week ago
was nominated by a faction of the re
publican party of this, the tenth dis
trict, as the republican candidate for
congress, at a "largely attended and en
thusiastic mass meeting," and who
formally accepted the nomination, af
ter having, previously declined it, yes
terday made the announcement that he
had decided, in the interest of harmony,
to withdraw his name and he would
not he a candidate for congress. ,
The withdrawal of Mr. Britt leaves
the field to John G. Grant, of Hender
son county, the only avowed candidate.
This is practically a victory for the
"insurgents," and peace and harmony
now prevails.
Mr. Grant, it is now believed, will
be the nominee of the republican party
of this district, to oppose Congress
man Crawford at the polls next Novem
ber. Since the nomination of Mr. Britt
by the "regulars" there has" been much
friction and bitter feeling in the re
publican ranks, the "insurgents" de
claring that star chamber methods
were used for the nomination of Mr.
Britt and the prospects were good for
a very bitter factional fight. Several
"peace" conferences wrere held, but
without apparent result, until Mr. Britt
formally announced that he had deter
mined, in the interest of harmony, not
to allow his name to be brought before
the republican congressional conven
tion, to be held in this city March 14th,
as a candidate for congress.
The republican county convention,
which will select delegates to the con
gressional convention will be held in
Asheville Saturday, February 29th. It
is almost a certainty that this conven
tion will endorse Secretary Taft for the
presidency. As will the congressional
convention which convenes in Ashe
ville March 14th. It is conceded that
T. F. Roland and Charles French
Toms, will be named as delegates to
the national republican convention at
Chicago.
