There to -erery indication now that the objec tkms raised to the statua of the re eeivershlp management of the Norfolk k Southern railway system by East ern Carolina interests because of the fact that notwithstanding the fact that the greater part of the system is in that section, there was no representa tion of this section either on the re ceivership or in the management ; of the affairs of the corporation have been adjusted and there will be no further prosecution if the complaint However just what the adjustment is does not yet appear. Referring to this matter Judge Purnell, of the Eastern district court, said that v the" most! friendly relaions exist between himself And Judge Waddlll, of the - Eastern district of . Virginia?' and 4 that ': a thorough and satisfactory understand ing has existed between himself and Judge Waddlll, who instituted the re ceivership all alone. Judge Purnell has an extensive ancillary relation with the receivership and it was ' from lrlends of his that the complain came that Judge '.''Waddlll, ; of Virginia, fchould have had Judge ; rurneu to Share in the selection of the three re ceivers. The demand all along has . been for Eastern Carolina to have rep resentation either In the receivership or active management under the re eivership, notably through , tha .re atoratlon of M. K.

' By Wire to The Sun. Troy, N, T.. July 17. District At torney O'Brien today admits he Is all at sea In an effort to discover the mur derer of Haze Drew, on the lonely road near Teal Pond. Vigirous -"sweating" by the county detectives has failed to get either con fession or material evidence out ot the farmboy Frank Smtlh or Gunderan, the county charcoal peddler, both ori ginally suspected ot having a hand in the Job and the case against Taylor, uncle of the girl, is not considered a strong case. Every person in Sandy Lake, who knew Hazel is to be summoned before the coroner's jury in a last desperate attempt of the district attorney to get some light on the case. - That Hazel Drew came to her death as result of an automobile accident Instead, of being the victim of ajfouj, and deliberate murder Is one of the theories put forth last night as a pos sible solution of the' Teal Pond mys tery. After five days of careful inves tigation in which many theories have been advanced, a motive for the mur der is lacking.; - NoiJxfaisj has Vbeen learned' ihi&! thorltles in making an, arrest in con nection with the crime. This being the case, the accident theory is advanced. The macadam road between Troy and Averill Park is popular with autoino. bilista, A reckless ' chauffeur speeding along at night may have struck the girl with his car, causing her death. Rather than face : the - consequences and knowing the country. v weli," It would have been a comparatively easy matter to have taken the girl la the car up the' lonely road' toward Taboiv ton, and to have thrown her body into the mill pond. To give color to a sui cide theory, the hat and gloves were left on the bank. ' ' Through a postal card received at the Drew home from New Carlisle, O., on the day of Hazel's funeral, ad dressed to the dead girl and signed Carrie Weaver, it was learned today that Hazel and Carrie were good friends and that they went ti New York together to spend memorial day. Miss Weaver is employed in the house hold of A. M. Greene, a professor in the , Rannssaeler Polytechnic Insti tute. , : Prof, and Mrs. . Greene came here from 'Springfield, Ohio, and they knew Carrie Weaver, who was employed at New Carlisle, Last September they en gaged her and She came east. The Greenes live on Hawthorn avenue near the home of Prof. Care?, where Hazel Was employed, and Mrs. Greene and Mrs. Carey are friends. Mrs. Greene told Mrs, Carey . that Miss Weaver was acquainted in Troy and they arranged to introduce her to Hazel. The girls became warm friends and frequently spent their afternoons and evening together. It was at Ha. sel's. suggestion that the trip to New York was ' planned. Mrs. . Greene ar ranged for a. room for them through the Young Woman's Christian Associa tion in New, York and the' girls left Troy on the New York, boat about the night before memorial day."

Ameriea Does Net Expect. to Make Mack Skewing Teday British Sys tem ef -ScerlBg Allows Her to Keep , HEB LEAD. By Cable to The Sun, . London, July 17, When the Olympic games opened this morning, England was In the lead with 43 points to 31 for the American team, but as most of the Track and field contests in which the yankee lads are admitted to stand supreme have not yet been reached. There is every reason to believe that the stars and stripes will ultimately overhaul the Union Jack. . In archery and pistol and revolver contests, carded for today, the Ameri can team does not naturally, expect to make much showing against Bri tains, who' have this testing down fine. Speaking of prospects for his men, James E. Sullivan, the American com missioner to the Olympic games, said today: ; "Our team is in fine mettle and not one of my mon to overtrained.' From time to time on our chances to get first place will' increase rather than diminish:'' The field and track contests will put us ahead." According to the British system of scoring, however, It is easy for Eng land to keep her lead until the track and field events are reached, for firsts only are counted. ; In firsts. aecAnds and : thirds, all were : c6tWttt?ii5aWoTdmg to Amferidan athletic principles the two cowatrie would be tied without a point for two today. The attendance this morning Is small and tho weather at Shepherd Bush forbidding. i Yesterday was America's day in the Olympic sports at the- Stadium, both big events which reached the finals, throwing the discos free-- style and putting the shot; being carried: off by Martin J. Sheridan, of the Irish-Ameri can Athletic Club, and Ralph Hose of the Olympia Club, of San Francisco re spectively. The United Kingdom cap tured tho third final, the 400 metres swimming event in which H. Taylor added to the score of his country by beating Beaurepalre, the Australian crack, and Scheff, of Austria. The final also was reached In the 1,000 metres cycle race, but this proved such a fiasco, through the attempts of four of the participants Schlllcs, of France; and Jones, Kingbury and Johnson, of England to force each other to take the pace that the judges declared the event off, it not being first had within the time limit Italy got her first gold medal yes terday In the team gymnastic compe tition, reecivlng the greatest timber of points against a great array of competitors. No official announcement Is obtain able as to how the British Olympic Association Is going to decide the Olympic championship, but the sys tem adopted by the London 'sporting papers in arriving at the respective positions of the various countries has Deen generally accepted. This sys tem awards one point for each win, Ignoring seconds and thirds, and in cludes all sports carried out under the auspices of the association, wheth er within the 8tadlum or outside of it Following this method of counting points, the countries would be placed in this order: United Kingdom SO; United States I; Sweden 8; Norway t; and Canada, France, Belgium and Italy, 1 each. The United Kingdom's SO potato, according to this computation, are made up as follows :n Men's doubles and' singles and ladtea singles in both the town (tennis and covered court tennis compe titions;: pole competition-; singles and doubles at racquet; Individual rifle competition:! Indlvdluat . miniature rifle competition at disappearing tar get;. Individual, miniature rifle com petition at moving target; team and Individual - competitions, miniature rifles at ordnary, targets: team com - petition at clay birds, and the follow- THE ing wins in the stadium: 3,500 metres walk; 20 kilometres cycle race; three mile team race; 660 yards cycle race and 400 metres swimming. The United States' score to made up of the following wins: Rifle team com petition; revqlver team competition; indvidual double shot at runnng deer; Jay Gould's victory' in court tennis competition; throwing the hammer; 1,500 metres fiat race; throwing the discus and putting the weight.
