The motion to reassign was ;nade by Attorney Van Dyke, as the repre sentative of Coudert Brothers of New York, his reason being thai the elder Mr. Coudert, who has the case In hand, is in pcor health. Solicitor General Hoyt. speaking for the government, op posed the motion, and stated that he would be willing to have the a? sub mitted on briefs already filed.

One of the speakers said yesterday that he had been asked why he didn t come back home- to live, and hs responded that the old state seemed to be dcing well enough without him. Another ex plained the reason why so many citi zens of this state have In former years gone to other states to live by quoting from a religious newspaper published In Richmond. In speaking of Tar Heels and their descendants In other states the Richmond paper raid: "There is such an urgent demand for men of 'other states what their kindred and rnenu3 are oomg ai r.uim.

Accompanying the break of .foil ; points yesterday in the preferred arock jof the. Southern Railway there was- a repetition in Wall street of the local rumr that the Gould interests were endeavoring to secure control of the Seaboard Air Line. Com menting on this declide the New York Journal of Commerce J says: ,The "heavy break in Southern Railway preferred was attributed by many to a rumor thai Gould interests were en deavoring to secure control of the Sea board Air Lihe, in wlich event it was feared there rh'ijht !,be: serious dis turbances in the southern railway sit uation, as it is an open secret that the interests back of the -Gould Une3 are known to be unfriendly with those who represent the Southern Railway. The unusual-decline In the stock, however, occasioned the fear that some large holder had been compelled' to sacrifice his commitments in that "issue." A differcnet view is taken by the Wair Street Journal which cays:- - - "The pressure In. Southern Railway preferred came largely from traders and was part of the fairly well sus tained attack. upon the Morgan stocks which had been in progress for some tlme past. Traders argue that the full five per cent dividend fs more than tho road is conservatively entitled to pay, and claim that' it Is not dolns as much for the property as it should do and as other roads are doing under similai conditions." . , - With the position already secured In the Seaboard by the Frisco-Rock Is land interests, the faith that people of the south have in holding control of this property in the south and the pos sibilities in regard to the!Goulds, the Seaboard situation is now attracting wide attention. Cotton Strike Ended New Orleans, Oct. tj. The non-union laborers brought here from St. Louis for the cotton strike were shlcDed back to that city, . Mayor Capdeville ground pavilion began. General Ran sojci arose and was greeted with cheers. He said he felt. profoundly thankful. ror the X'jopitious day, the bright" sunlight, the taJmy air and- the vtaxse attend ance of handsome men. i and beautiiul vo:T.en'. Prayer was offered by Re . Dr. V. W. Moore of Richmond. General ICanwrn, the master of ceremonies, re quested Dr. Mclver to announce the speakers as the meeting was an oat d"r one. the meeting large and Gon-f-ral Ransom's vo!c was wak. Dr. Mclver explained the enforced absenre of Dr. Hannis Taylor, Hon. Hoke S,ith and "Uncle" Joe Cannon, the latter of whom will' be the npxt' prnaU- lt or tna national nouse oi jrteoresf.-.i-tai'vrs Mr. Cannon Is now busy or gan. zing his forces for the business cf tne rext Conxrress. Dr. Taylor is :n London today acting in behalf of the nation the Alaskan bounaary con troversy. Mr. Smith was unavoidably ar ivnv- but sent hearty crreetin-rs to the old mother state. Mr. Shepard Bryan, a native of Cra ven county but now a prominent law yer of Atlanta, made a brilliant res ponse to .the addresses of welcome. Mr. Byan is one of the brightest young men whom North Carolina has sent to other' states to take the lead in busi ness, politics and religion, who grac all professions. Mr. Bryan's speech was one of the best of all tlie eloquent short addresses delivered at the re union. He closed by saying that print ers ink had made Atlanta great and the people there were told how to do it by a grandson of North Carolina, Hen ry W. Grady of sainted memory. (Loud applause.) Judge Fitzgerald, a member of the supreme court bench of Nevada anda brother of Bishop O. P. Fitzgerald of the M. E. church South was the next speaker among those on the program to make responses to the addresses ot welcome. Judge Fitzgerald provoked a great laugh when he told a story of a gooa oia Drotner wno was asxeu to pray at the opening of a school one morning. The old brother prayed and prayed and prayed until, when he had finished, the school teacher said: "Well children, so much time has run to waste that I don't know whether we can havo any recitations or not." It was a joke on the preceding speakers and was duly appreciated and en joyed. He then proceeded to deliver a short address that was one of the J brightest gems of thought and lan guage construction ever listened to. Judge Fitzgerald s . birth place is in Rockingham, which adjoins the county of Guilford. Mr. Bartlctt of Indiana represented the Indiana delegation in a short speech. Mr. "Bartlett said he talked with a number of people on the train coming to North Carolina, and they all seemed to regard it as the biggest oc casion of their lives to come back to the old mother state and clasp hands and unite hearts with our kindred. He thought' tho few remaining years of many, of us cou'.d bo profitably and ialtie superintended the drawing up of the compromise reached. Although j the strike is over it has left much" bitter ness behind. It is calculated that: the strike has already cost Nw Orleans $500,000, and it is claimed that it) will divert 500.000 bales of cotton from the port this season. SCURRILOUS LETTERS A Woman Charged With Set ting a Town in Turmoil Williams-prt, Pa., Oct. 13. Mrs. Cora Glover is under arrest at Dushore, jPa,, on a charge of having written scurri lous letters to leading citizens of; the town. The letters that she is charged with having written have been I the cause of divisions in families and of an endless amount of trouble. She j has been taken before the United States commissioner, where she will have a hearing. . I Mrs. Glover is the wife of a business man and has always borne an unques tionable imputation. For months past Dushore has been scandalized by I let ters written to citizens in which) re flections were cast on the reputatfons of their wives. In several cases quar rels ensued, some of which went so far as to end in separations. Finally a business man received a missive in which he was warned ithat his wife was untrue to him. He at once offered a reward of $100 for the arrest of the person who sent it. Local offi cers made every effort to capture! the guilty one, but failed. Several persons, one a well known church worker, were suspected. j The federal authorities were notified of the misuse of the mails and several secret service men were put to work on the case. They insist that they have sufficient ground for Mrs. .Glov er's arrest. Motor Company Insolvent Chicago, Oct. 13. The property of the Chicago Motor Vehicle Company, one of the lirgest automobile manufactur ing concerns in the west, was placed under the control of Ewin C. Potter as receiver in bankruptcy today. Secre tary of the Treasury Shaw, former Sec retary Lyman J. Gage and other men of prominence are said to hold large blocks of the stock in the company. pleasantly spent in such social occa sions as this. At the conclusion of Mr. Bartletfs speech the band played 'Dixie," while the audience stood. Hon. Joseph M. Dixon, member of congress from Montana, was the next speaker. He was born- in what was formerly a part of Chatham county, but now a part of Alamance. Mr. Dixon facetiously remarked that he was one of the few men in the United States who have the distinction to have been born in two counties. Mr. Dixon brought his wife with him from Mon tana and, as he expressed it, "three little half breed Tar Heels," to see the old state and take the first degree in the patriotic order of United Tar Heel dom. . Dr. Paul Barringer of Virginia was the next speaker. He said he thought It fitting to express an appreciation of the great work Charles Mclver has done for the people of this good state. Dr. Barringer drew a fine distinction between state pride and state love, and declared the latter predominates in the heart of North Carolinians. He spoke eloquently of the homing instincts of former Tar Heeis who reside outside of North Carolina. Hon. Murat Halstead of Cincinnati, the only man on the program wno was not born in North Carolina, but whose grandfather was born here, was next introduced.. He said, after seeing the country here, he wondered why his grandfather, when he started to blue grass Kentucky via Cumberland Gap, did not stop somewhere in this beau tiful section. He believed this mat ter of reunion started in this state, is a great and practical work Mr. Halstead .read from the inscrip tions on tombstones in the old fam ily burying ground In Ohio. Each one shows that the deceased was a native of North Carolina. He read these to show that the family was proud to ac knowledge North Carolina as the old home place and thought so much of it that the fact was recorded in perma nent form on the monuments at their last resting" place. Rev. Dr. A. C. Dixon said a man can jret out of North Carolina In ten hours, but all time " and eternity cannot get North Carolina out of a man when once it gets in. He said he wene to Baltimore first: mixed half southern and half Yankee. Then to Brooklyn: i rot so badly mixed. Then to Boston. You see I have been on a B line Balti more, Brooklyn, Boston. (Daughter.) Dr. Dixon complimented the reunion idea and said he would like to bring one thousand New England men down next lime to see North Carolina's in dustries, her manhood and womanhood. The next v speaker was our own Mr. Walter H. Page, who was born in Wake county and now is editor of the great monthly publication, World's Work. Mr. Page said: "If those of us t(Continucd on second pae.) aywocM to tile i Col. Argo Concludes This Morning, "Then Judge Pec ble's Charge Solicitor Daniel's Argument.

Argument was begun Friday, October 8, and has lasted four days." Eleven speeches have been made and 28 hour taken for their delivery. ' Senator Donnell Gilliam yesterday morning concluded his speech begun Monday afternoon. He spoke an hour and a half yesterday. Capt. W. H. Day followed, for the defense with a speech of characteristic force, consuming an hour and thirty minutes. ' j In the afternoon Solicitor "Walter E. Daniel of Weldn closed the argument for the state with a speech of two hours and twenty minutes that held the closest attention of a packed court room. 1 MORNING SESSION. Mr. Gllllamlbegan; by saying that he had argued yesterday afternon that there was no occasion for Haywood shooting. Skinner and that he shot him from malice and hatred. v There jyas provocation; for j Skinner striking Hay wood. The defence objected to this line of .argument. "This court says that there: Is not a particle of evidence of bad blood be tween the men. Counsel must not ar gue a theory not supported by the facts." Did not Simms 1 say that they were struggling Barnes say the together; did not Ned same and did not Miss Pace say that Haywood was tapping- him on the breast, hence there was ap parently a provocation for the blow." "Miss Pace said Haywood was seem ingly remonstrajting .with him. A mere quarrel does not justify a blow," re plied Judge Peebles. "Neither does a blow. Justify a shot," said the counsel "Limited as I Honor -1 ask am by the rules of his you to consider what took place on that sidewalk." and Mr. Gilliam argued defense had only four witnesses to prove that Skinner was not retreating, namely, Schmitz, Ho cutt, Barnes and Thomas. Mr. Gil liam argued that it was the second shot that struck Skinner, and reviewed the testimony tc prove this. Ned Bar nes is the only solitary witness who placed Skinner In a position to receive the fh-st shot ja.nd he, logically and naturally, as Mif. Jones says, had him drawing his pistol from his right pock et. The testimony overwhelmingly con tradicts Barnes on this point, and he must have been mistaken, as it was surely the second shot that struck him. There was no Ludlow Skinner. occasion fop shooting Haywood rose, an- crered and burnirisr with malice and re sentment, with iiis pistol in his hand, fired once and then again with more careful and deadly aim, and therein he did a murder, "the striking of a blow does not Justify the taking of a hu man life. A blow given, a life taken. If such a doctrine is established it means a return to dueling. The jury must be satisfied that Haywood acted from necessity, apparent or real. A violation of the laws of North Carolina has been committed and Ernest Hay wood stands convicted on this; testi mony, and if you are not: convinced by it you would not believe though one rose from the dead. t -t CAPT. D-AY SPEAKS. Capt. W. H. pay followed for the defense and began at 10:40. He said n r Jin a 'a a ivir. William sioou separate ana. a one from the other counsel in holding that there was malice) in Ernest Haywood's heart, for Mr. Is orris and Mr. Strong said there was no evidence of bad blood. Capt. Day said! he had appeared as counsel in 'over Lone hundred murder cases, but this isf the first time he had ever known the state to refuse to put an eye wtjQess or the stand, The state? does not soTesi re, he said, but even the solicitor in i;his case is the pail representative of j, the prosecution. Th- state is without repsentation, the .so licitor can not serve two masters. Capt. Day dee a red the defendant's family' had shed histre on the name of North Carolina for 150 year?, yet coun sel had said that Skinner slapped Hay wood in the face as a social In fHnr- No true Carolinian would accept such ' - -w I Case Goes Jtary : Today an, Insult. Ernest Haywood to b met on the streets of RaJelgh, the plac of his birth, whfre his ancestors sleep, and slapped in the face in a dastardly manner. If Skinner did what they say be did then by the gods he got what he deserved. Is there nothing greator, of more value than, life? Death, ho would not take, death In preference to shame and Infamy? What, dlsgrac and' humiliate me and expect mo to hm patient and weigh with scrupulous ex actness the dangers and conditions, of the moment?

Inflict that Insult on you and you would ' cry to death with caution, if such co.yxflly and groveling men livo In Wilson thank God they are -confined-there. . i1 Capt. Day said the state, though 'de manding this man's life, had refused to give the defendant the benefit of the' evidence against him. This was equal to the Spanish inquisition, a. man lock ed in a dungeon and refused knowledge of the accusers. Mr. Jones Fuller is young and has an exaggerated term of chivalry, and wanted to save Mis Pace coming into court, but should the prosecution say that Miss Mattle Pace's blushes outweigh a man's life? He declared that this was not th state asking for Ernest Haywood's life, but "the hellish cry for revenge," and he criticized the prosecution for not putting the child. Walter Thomas," the little country boy. on the stand, but In stead "Sauls reeling and stinking. in the life that rm has made Infamous, that paragon, of perjury, here clamor ing for blood!" ' . Capt. Day claimed that the state at tacked Slmm3 on the cross-examination as severely as thy could, but now they say that Simms makes out thelf case. Yes, they, say Simms and Brlgg make out thir -ape but you notice they never put thoso witnesses on the stand. j , ! The speaker said Schmitz was accus ed of being a liar bora us he is a dude. Well, then Mr. Gilliam and Mr. Norris and Mr. Winder! are also convicted of being liars. Mrj. Strong, he though hardly comes uruler that head. Bu? really that Is the strongest thing they have against Mr. Schmltz and he didn't want to believe It for Mr. Gil liam's sake. What is there against Schmitz? First, he wears a long tn l coat, a sik hat, a clpan shirt, a dia mond pln parts his hair In the r.ilddl and...,the crowning; charge t)f all he Is taken by the hand by supreme coiirt Judges and governors who are -glad to call him 'friend. He ridiculed and denounced Clay Folper apd Guy Wil son, brought here to attack Schmitz' character. But Schmitz Is not only a liar but a conjurer because he muft' have found out what Miss Pace saw when no one else seemed to know, for Miss Mattie Pace clearly corroborated Mr. - Schmitz. Capt. Day said that Capt. Clark, Oh- lin and Peck testijled to Schmltz's character one time, and came . back again and said that they themselves were liar3. They heard Schmitz's tes timony and said his character wasi good. What is the word of Clark, Os lin and Peck compared to the dignltarW ies of Maryland? m j Capt Day began speaking of the.de-'. fendant and his aped mother, when Mr. Wcodard objected and Judge Peebles-said there is Ao evidence that he ever had a mother, ' The speaker cafd that any one knew, if a man slapped another that nothing but God -almighty I could prevent hlj killing him. How Aong would a man live that treated you 'bo Jon the streets of Raleigh? The mistake Skin-; ner made wrys that he sot his hand be tween his overcoat and undercoat and missed getting his hand on 'his pistol. But after the death of the Savnlr there were those who would not believe un- less they could plae their hands Into the wounds. Here are th garments of Skinner. Put your finger Into the bullet holes, they tell the tale. "They stand by Bob Simms, yes, aa' the devil stand3 by holy water, In fearj and trembling. Aftr they tried In vain to break him down they huj: hiirt and call him one of their preservers." In refutation ' of Mr. GJlliern Capt. Day went over the testimony of Jonci Fuller and Austin. Mr. Gilliam know 3 .. If the first shot, struck him then tho , second shot 'amounts to nothing. "Ar: ; cording to Jons Fuller's testimony; itj f won't Ernest Haywood wno snot iu,.- ; . low Skinner because he coiua not snoot a man in the bad: end hit him in tho side." "What would have become of Hay wood if he had not had means and wealth to withstand the attacks cf , malice and prejudice against him?" asked Capt. Day. "Where would a poor man be with s'ich a prosecution li- ,j rected against him?"
