An Incorrect and distorted account of the meeting in Goldsboro yester day of the Democratic executive-committee for the Third Congressional District has been made public.

" j All members of the committee were present, either in person or by proxy. The meeting was called to order by the chairman of the execu tive committee, W. L. Hill of Duplin. Secretary Barham read the majority report of the sub-committee on rules. Mr. Barham then offered a minority report. The substance of the major ity report was given In The Sun of day-before-yesterday. The minority report recommended that such' a pri mary be held as would provide for the dropping of all except the two highest men in the race, who would "run off" the final contest. 1 Rudolph Dully of "bnsir.o held the proxy of Col. Taylorof Ons low, arose and denounced the sort of primary recommended in the minor ity report as most unfair. By drop ping all but the two highest men, ex plained Mr. Duffy In detail, the very strongest man might be dropped. Mr. Duffy then proposed a prefer ential primary. Mr. Webb of Carteret, represent ing the majority of the sub-committee which met in New Bern, then moved that the preferential primary plan as proposed by Mr. Duffy be adopted instead of either the majority or mi nority report. ine motion was passed unani mously. Mr. Webb moved that a committee of three be appointed by Chairman Hill to draw up the rules. The mo tion carried. The following were appointed upon that committee: J. C. Thomas, Jr., of Craven, H. L. Gibbs of Pam lico, and Rudolph Duffy of Onslow. Mr. Glbbs stated that he regretted his inability to serve on the rules committee, since he must leave upon an early train. Upon motion of J. C.

WHITE WOMAN TO SENTENCED HANG FLORIDA YOF DOROTHY ARNOLD MAY HAVE BEENJREMATED ANOTHER REPORT SAYS SHE IS DYIXtJ AT HEIt HOME FROM ILLEGAL OPERATION. Sensational Developments Following The Raid on "House of Mystery" At Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, PA., April 11. District Attorney Jackson, in connection ith the case against Dr. C. C. Meredith, accused of malpractice, declared that he has positive information that Dorothy Arnold, the missing New York heiress, was a patient in Meredith's institution, that she has never recovered from the effec ts of her illness and is now dying at her home in New York. Things seem to be coming in a fav orable way for the District Attorney. A search of Meredith's hospital brought to light a fur pony coat and black bag, both said to have belong ed to Mrs. Myrtle Allison, who drop ped from sight mysteriously a year ago. Valuable jewelry said to have been in her possession, however, was not found. NEW YOKE, April II. At the Arnold home it was emphat ically denied that Dorothy was there. The missing girl's fath er, infuriated, said that Attor ney Jackson was a liar. Pittsburg, Pa., April 11 Evidence secured here yesterday seems to in dicate that Dorothy Arnold, the missing New York heiress, who mys teriously disappeared over two years ago, was among the young women in an institution here. District Attor ney Jackson stated that Dorothy Ar nold was traced to the office of a Pittsburg pliysii-iiui, and from there she dropped out of sipln. A short time afterward, when questioned, this doctor, with an air of bravado, is said to have admitted that Miss Arnold visited his office. Headed by Chief Clark and Assist ant District Attorney John N. Dunn, a squad of county detectives yester day afternoon raided a maternity home in Uellevenu, conducted by Dr. ('. C. Meredith for the past two years. Four persons were taken in the raid. They are: Dr. C. C. Meredith. Dr. II. E. Luty., Miss Lucy D. Orr, a nurse in the home, and Mary Snyder, a domestic. Dr. Meredith was immediately loinmitted to jail in defult of $12, nuii bail, on charges of performing a criminal operation and larceny. Dr. Lutz was taken in charge iiv DU tiict Attorney Jackson, and Miss Orr, tl.e nurse, was committed to jail. Admission to the maternity home was secured through strategy. The detectives had arranged with Dr. Meredith to perform an operation on a young woman, and through this ruse they entered the house unob structed. District Attorney Jackson stated that he has evidence of live women who were operated on in Meredith's maternity home. One of these wom en, aged about forty, who conducted a boarding house in Wilkinsburg, mysteriously disappeared in March, ' TJr. Lutz, who was arrested with Dr. Meredith, in a statement made to the district attorney said that this woman came to his office on April 11, 1913, and while there collapsed.

He cared for her and af ter a few days she grew rapidly wbrseOn March 17 th she made an ante-mortem statement in which she admitted that a Pittsburg doctor had operated upon her. . According to Luts, he' then called the doctor on the telephone and the ' latter visited the woman, that night and later admitted tha he had per' formed the operation. , Hi secured a ,. , wagon And removed the Woman at 1 '. , 'fy i'c.'-.'
