Raleigh News and Observer. nroof. but with a chain of circumstances that seem to meet the case, the mother an 1 friends of Miss Rosa Hicks, the young sten oeraDher who disappeared f''om Ral eigh on Friday night, believe that the young woman left the city witn school- sweetheart, Mr. Sam Watts, ol New York, going to be married. Yet the clearing of the mystery is only by supposition. The young woman, who came t Raleigh from Greensboro about six weeks ago, was employed as a sten ographer by the Jefferson btandard T.lfA Insurance Company. She left the office just after half-past five o'clock Friday afternoon and was seen in front of the Masonic Temple building talking to a young man, a etranger in Raleigh. Since then only supposi tion has located her. After half-past six o'clock Friday evening a young man secured a car riage from Robbins livery stable tc take bm and a young lady to Wake Forest, saying he wanted to get there to take the night train north. The negro driver's description of the young woman tallies with that of Miss Hicks, and he says that on the trip he heard the man address her ' as "'Miss Rosa." The team reached Wake Forest in time and the driver says that the couple took the train for Portsmouth. In the city the mother of Miss Hicks, her employers and friends be came anxious when she did not ap pear at her home on leaving the of fice, and there was a search for the young woman, the police being noti fied. Friends went to the depot tc make inquiries, and some of these asked Rev. J. LT Foster, who was go ing north, to look out for tke young woman on the train. Mr. Foster tele graphed yesterday that a young man and a young woman, answering the description of Miss Hicks, got on the train at Wjake Forest and had gone to Portsmouth. Beyond that no word has come to the mother or friends as to the young woman's whereabouts. Miss Hicks had only lately cele brated her twenty-first birthday, and -.shortly after she came to Raleigh, where she first boarded at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Johnson, her widowed mother, Mrs. E. G. Hicks, of Greensboro, joined her here, the two ; having rooms with Mrs. MolJie Par : rish at 316 Wlest Edenton street. ' Vhen her daughter disappeared so : mysteriously Mrs. Hicks teld. of a love affair with a Mr. Sam Watts, of .New York, who had desired to marry her daughter, and looked ?nto her daughter's correspondence in seeking for a clue to her disappearance. Mr. Watts, it was learned, had been rat Belmont, the Catholic school in vGaston county, some three years ago when Miss Hicks was also a student there. The young man was preparing lor the priesthood, but he fell in love with Miss Hicks. After some time he . -went back to New York, Mrs. Hicks not desiring her daughter to marry. This was the state of affairs when Miss Rosa Hicks came to Raleigh, it being understood also that she did not want to get married. Among her letters her mother lound some which were signed by "Mrs. Mary Frapp," and dated New York. These letters, couched in lov ing terms, pled the cause of Mr. Watts with Miss Hicks, telling her that he was dying with love for her and be- seeching that she marry him. The writer did not know Miss Hicks, but i understood that she had refused to' marry Mr. Watts and wantal to se-j cure a change of heart. Mr. Watts, it is understood, had given up the idea of the priesthood so as to secure Miss Hicks as his bride. Acting on the supposition that Mr. O'Brien, president of the Soutb era Ex Watts had come to Raleigh and had press Company, died tonight from succeeded in getting Miss Hicks to elope with him, her mother had tele- grams sent to Portsmouth to have her daughter stopped there, but no reply has come to the telegrams. Accord- lng to all the information given out it is only guess work that if was Mr... critical condition Watts who met Miss Hicks here and , that the two left together.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR ADVERTISING WIN BUSINESS A Few Points for Merchants to Con sider When Preparing Their Fall Advertisements for The Argus. One principle of successful adver tising, as practised -by department store ad. writers and other specialists on publicity, is , to give definite de scriptions of the goods offered. When a merchant uses such phrases as ' The best is the cheapest" End "Big gest assortment and lowest prices," he convinces no one. The reader ar gues that anyone can use these catch words and that they prove nothing. Try instead to help your readers get a mental picture of your goods. For this purpose try definite and detailed though very brief description. Get manufacturers of your lines to give you some definite facts about how the goods are put together, so that you can give some real reasons why goods are superior. I'ick out some special bargains, describe them as above in dicated, and put in the price and the real value you believe them to have Don't bother about flowery language. What the buyer wants is cold facts "Reason why" advertising is what brings the buyer around. Prices are the best argument of all. Oftentimes all that is desirable is a word or two of description, with price and real value in big type. : - COL. O'BRIEN PASSES AWAY, . President of the Southern Express Company Short Illness. New ' York, Sept. '11. Col.

American Downs All Aviators in Meet at Brescia, Italy. Brescia, Italy, Sept. 12. Glenn H Curtiss, the American aviator, who won the international cup at Rheims, captured the grand prize in the avia tion meet here today. Curtiss made his flight for the grand prize yester day, covering 50 kilometres (31.05 miles) or five times around the course in 49 minutes 24 seconds. His share of the $10,000 prize is $6,000 Rougier, the French aviator, also competed, making a flight of 50 kilo metres in one hour 10 minutes 18 sec onds. He was awarded the second prize. Curtiss also won the prize for quick starting, his time being 8 1-5 seconds. LeBlanc was second in this contest in 9 3-5seconds. ' The last day of the international contest brought out an immense crowd. The weather conditions were exceedingly favorable. Princess Let! tia, the stepmother of the Duke of the Abruzzi, was present, and, sur rounded by her court, received all the"1 foreign aviators. She warmly con rrratu! ated Mr. Curtiss. She said that she Lad followed with interest the ef forts to solve the problem of aerial navigation and that she wa3 looking forward to the day when it would be possible to make a long voyage in the air. Turning to Curtiss she said in English, "Would you take me with you?" Mr. Curtiss replied, "I should be de lighted, if my machine were fitted for carrying passengers' He explained that the small seat which had been made for the purpose of carrying a passenger had been left behind at Rheims. Bleriot made several brilliant flights, but did not compete for the grand prize, after which Curtiss en tered for the altitude prize. He as cended to a height of 51 metres (about 165 feet) thereby gaining second prize while the first prize was awarded to Rougier, who danced around with de light, saying: "Curtiss is a true gen tleman. He might have gone higher than I, but he promised to leave me the first prize. This is real American chivalry." Rougier's record, made several days ago, was 100 metres. Lieutenant Caldoroa was the win ner of the passenger carrying event, for which a prize of $600 was offered. He made four rounds of the course with Lieutenant Savoia. He also cap tured the national speed prize, the distance being one lap. Curtiss added to his winnings by taking one of the daily speed contests as well as one of the daily height events.

Sick Man and Biggest Power in Wall Street Discussed Matters of Ex treme Importance Amica ble Agreement Made. Arden, N. Y., Sept. 12. A man painting the casings .of the windows in Mary Harriman's libarry in Arden House a week ago last Thursday look ed out and saw two men on the loggia one story below him. They were seated face to face in the warm sunlight and were convers ing earnestly. He knew both. One was seated in an invalid's wheeled chair, his lower limbs wrapped in a steamer rug .v and a light overcoat thrown about his shoulders. This man was Edward H. Harri- man. " The other was ,a many heavy of body, with striking features. - In his left hand he held a heavy black cigar he had just remoyed from his lips. The painter had worked for this man once. He was J. Pierpont Morgan As these men talked their gestures showed plainly that the subject of their conversation was" something of moment. To the painter this picture meant nothing, and he went on paint ing. ' What this man really saw was. a conference between the two most powerful men in American railroad finance one fearing death and the other in the glow: of health and strength. As Mr. Harriman spoke he seemed to overcome his malady. Now and then he would tap the palm of his left hand with the forefinger of his right. The other man listened attentively and between puffs of his cigar nodded bis ..head.. ;-.-s -.---- jfi" 'jfibx --'--- - " .They were still talking earnestly when two hours later the painter went into another room. Probably he was the sole witness to a scene where culminated the plan outlined exclu sively in the New York World yes terday morning of the control by J. P. Morgan and his ally, James J. Hill, of the Union Pacific, and the forma tion of the most tremendous railroad combination in the history of the world. Once Harriman's Implacable foe, the most powerful man in Wall street, visited Arden at the invitation of Mr. Harriman. It was a secret conference; one that had been planned and carried out quickly with the consummate skill that had marked all his great coups in the railroad and financial world. Mr. Harriman wanted to talk to Mor gan alone and to do this he had to get rid of the newspaper representatives who from the time of his return from Europe had kept watch on his house and every approach to it. With Harrimanesque finesse he ac complished this. - In a letter to them he appealed to their generosity, prom ising to keep them informed of his physical condition if they -would de part. "Not for myself 'do I ask this," he said, "but that my friends be not sub jected to interviews when they visit me." . ' This ingenious request from a sick man appealed to the editors of the various New York newspapers and the watch was withdrawn. The reporters left on Monday of last week. Four days later, assured that they had gone permanently, Mr. Harriman received Morgan.; What was Mr. Harriman's motive in calling this conference at a time when he knew he was a doomed man? Did he call Mr. Morgan to defy him or to ask a favor. Did he fear that the market for Union Pacific securities would be raided when it had been shorn of the protection of his strong hand and brain, and that in That pro cess the "bloodhounds" of Wall street, as he called them, would devour the hosts, of their small stockholders who had invested money solely through their-confidence in him? Or was it a more selfish motive, due to the knowl edge of his Increasing weakness and the desire to protect his own by com pact with his powerful rival, although this might mean the overthrow of his former business associates ? These are the questions wtdch per sons well informed are asking each other here, today. It is known that Morgan is ' practically in control of Union Pacific, the v keystone In the mammoth railroad structure, to the ereetion of which Harriman devoted his life and oh the steps of which he eventually laid it down. It is also known that Morgan's supremacy came immediately after the tense scene witnessed by the painter on tl-e loggia jof the Harriman home on Tower Hill, HARRIMAN'S BODY AT REST. Rulers of Wall Street Pay Last Trih ute of Respect at Arden. . Arden, N. Y., Sept. 12. Through the quiet aisle of the Ramapo woods the body of Edward H. Harriman was carried today from the great house he never lived to see finished and laid in its last resting place on the Arden hillside. The rulers from Wall street came from New York to pay their last trib ute, but the most prominent part in the ceremonies was taken by the men who knew him best a country squire, master of the great estate, which cov ers 43,000 acres of hill and valley in this, the most rugged part of Orange county; his general superintendent, his master. carpenter, his master ma son, and the managers and assistant managers of his dairies, his farms and his trotting stables were the men who bore his coffin, and the services were led by his own chaplain. FINE HOTEL BURNED. Millionaires Fight for the Lives of the Hotel Guests. New York, Sept. 13. A score of millionaires who have summer homes at Averne, Lawrence, Rockaway, Edgemere and adjoining villages, some of them dressed only in their night robes, fought valiantly early to day to save from death more than sixty guests of the artistic hotel Holmeshurst Inn, Edgemere, and from burning all adjoining buildings when the large" hostelry was destroy ed by fire. It is believed that every one in the building was saved, al though the firemen declare that it is possible two or three women, who in sisted upon returning to the burning building after they had been taken down fire escapes for their jewelry may have lost their lives. "Joe Brown" of Georgia. Not a little fun was poked at "Joe Brown" when he was inaugurated governor of Georgia. The eyes of the public have been opened. Recently an "influential party ," convicted of a black crime, was sentenced to one year's hard service on the chain-gang. An effort was made by -the friends of the guilty party to have the sentence changed to excuse the convicted man from doing service.. All the prestige of his position was invoked; money was spent freely; learned counsel used every effort to invoke executive leniency; all to no avail. "Joe Brown" stood pat. He proclaimed that so long as he was governor of Georgia rich. an influential eliminate would be treated in the same manner with obscure and friendless violators of the law. The people are learning things about Georgia's new executive. He has a back-bone and his conduct is meriting and receiving hearty praise from the press the country over. TRADE SCHOOL IN NEW YORK.

THE HERO OF QUEBEC. Modern England Looked Backward - 150 Years Today. London, Sept. 13. Modern England looked backward 150 years today and bowed low to General James Wolfe, the great soldier- who on September 13, 1759, won the battle of Quebec, the fight which broke the power of France in the New World and marked the beginning of the present Domin ion of Canada. And it was a victory made nobler by the conqueror's own blood, for on that memorable battle on the plains of Abraham General Wolfe received his death wound. Principal among the tributes paid to Wolfe on this 150th anniversary of his victory was a great banquet given in -London this evening. Lord Rob erts presided and the guests included a long list of military men, statesmen and others prominent in public life, The story of General James Wolfe and the victory of Quebec forms one of the most brilliant pages in Eng lish history. The task he set about to accomplish was indeed a formida ble one. After taking his army up the St. Lawrence, a river deemed un navigable, he was face to face With an impregnable fortress, as it seemed, defended with an activity and deter mination unexampled in history, Montcalm, the French general, lay se curely ensconced in Quebec vith a su perior army and quite unassailable. He refused to be drawn into the open, believing that it was only a question of time before the British would have to strike their camps and depart in discomfiture, their object unachieved. Wolfe's first attempt to pierce the enemy's lines was attended by disas ter. It cost him 800 men, and told on his health. Though prostrated by fever, he remained dauntless and self reliant. Day after day he strove to disccver the weak point in his ene my's armor. At last he found it at a point still known as Wjolfe's CoVe. At a risk appalling to contemplate, he led 3,000 men up the face o? a cliff and on the Plains of Abraham, where he awaited Montcalm and his army, only to conquer it when it did come. Bpth generals fell in the encounter. BOSTON TO BANQUET TAFT. Presilent's Address Will Be First of i Series on His Long Trip. Boston, Mass., Sept 13.

SHORT-LIVED LIBERTY. Escaped From Camp at 12 o'Clock, Was in Jail Again at S. Will Wilson, a colored convict serv ing a term on the roads for'larceny, escaped last night at twelve o'clock from - the county camp near Genoa, four miles from town, taking with him the shoes and clothes belonging to the guard, together with the same person's watch and thirteen dollars in cash. Wilson had hardly disappeared, however, when his escape was discov ered and a messenger was at once diS' patched to this city, who at one o'clock found Officer Fulghum and gave him the information. "Jack," in company with Officers Hart nd Nor ris got busy, and by three o'clock had Wilson safely lodged in the guard house, and the guard's clothes, watch and cash in hand. The convict and all the solen ar tides were returned this morning to the camp, and after the completion of his present sentence Wilson will again be brought to trial for this told lar ceny of last night. - This speedy apprehension of a con vict, within three hours, after he had covered a good distance at the mid night hour, speaks well for both coun 4 ty and city officers All roads in Massachmsetts at least lead to Beverly, v SOUTH.

Captain Scott Issues Call for Big Fund to Equip an Expedition to Make a Dash to the South Pole. j With British Flag. London, Sept. 13. Two rival Ant arctic expeditions, one American and the other British, will dash for the . south pole, both straining every nerve for the honor of placing their respec tive flags upon the coveted goal at the southernmost spot on earth. The first call for funds to make a $200,000 subscription list was issued here to day by Capt. Robert F. Scott, of the discovery expedition, and simultane ously with stirring editorials in the English press calling for patriotic compliance came a cablegram from Sydney, C. B., in which Harbert L. Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arctic Club, confirming the report tnat Commander Robert E. Peary will organize an expedition d'iring the coming winter to make a dash next spring for the south pole. Great Britain, stimulated by the success of Peary at the north pole, is aroused today to a pitch of enthusi asm seldom seen out of war time. lor the honor of the flag,' is the caption of an editorial today m which the Daily Mail commends tha under taking of Captain Scott. In part the leader reads: Through the energy and daring of Commander Peary the hope that the Union Jack would fly first at the north pole has been taken from us forever. It is poor consolation to read in Commander Peary's account chat he placed an Englishman in com mand of the last supporting party because it seemed appropriate to have - mm next to an American." The Mall declares that the English are unaccustomed to occupying sec ond place in any field of human en deavor. . i A race for it is certain in the im mediate future," continues the Mail. Is the Stars and Stripes or the Ger man Tri-color to be- nailed to the south pole," While the definite plans for the American expedition are not yet known, Captain Scott announces that the British party will leave next July. It will have two bases, one at Mac- Murdo Sound and the other in King- Edward VIII Land. Dogs, ponies, and motors are to be used. It is stated that, if motor sledges can reach the foot of a glacier, there can be little doubt they will ascend it, and thus greatly simplify the journey. According to the advices received here, Commander Peary will not lead the south polar expedition. The lead er has not yet been selected, but he - will be a man well known, it is said, in the field of exploration. HARRIMAN'S POLICY. Had Great Plans for Developing the South. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept 10. Jas. U.- Jackson, of Augusta, Ga., one of che business associates of the late E. il. Harriman, and part owner of the Augusta Street Railway system, in speaking of the great financier's death tonight said: "I do not know what the policy of Air. Harriman's successor will be, but I know that his death will be one of the greatest shocks to the progress of the South that could have occurred. "I am in a position to know that it was Mr. Harriman's intention to use ais Illinois Central and Central of Georgia lines for the developing of the South's resources and to further the interests of the more progressive communities. . "He spent over one hundred mil lions of dollars in doing the same for che rehabilitation of the Union Pacific Railroad, which developed the coun try through which its lines passed."
