ELECTION FRAUDS
Judge .Shaw Explains the Duty
ot Grand Jurors
Asheville, N. C, Nov. 19. Special.
In the superior court this morning
Judge Shaw again charged the grand
jury with particular reference to elec
tion frauds. At the opening of court
this week his honor dwelt at some
, length on the subject, but the grand
I jury did not understaid certain sections
' of the law with regard to the intimi
:' dation of voters or the use of unlaw
ful means in securing votes. Today
Judge Shaw made very plain the
meaning of the law and charged the
grand jurors that if they knew of in
stances where money or whiskey ha. 1
been used for the purpose - of in
fluencing votes it was their duty to
make presentments. "If you know of
such instances," said his honor, "for
get that you are a Democrat or a Re
publican and do your sworn duty.".
In view of the fact that corruption
at the last election has been frequently
charged it is not unlikely that the
grand jury will make presentments be
fore it is discharged.
Thomas Ev Rush and George W.
Korn of New York city are in Ashe
ville for a pleasure stay, guests of the
Battery Park Hotel. Mr. Rush was
for years the law partner of Mayor
McClellan.

Interment will be made at Greene

Mr. Stewart's health had been bad
all of the year and death was caused
from a complication of diseases. He
had been ' confined to his bed for six
' or eight weeks. Mr. Stewart ' is sur
vived by a widow and five daughters,
two of them married, their husbands
being Raymon Alfonso of New York
and J. L. Ritter of this city. Mr. Stew
art was a valued and highly esteemed
citizen. He came here from New York
in June, 1896, as office manager and con
fidential man for the Cone Export and
Commission Company, which position
he was holding at the time of his
death. He was a native of England
and came to America at an early age,
i taking a position with the Cone Com
pany when it was organized in New
York fifteen years ago.
WIRE UNDER GROUND
Greensboro Aldermen Adopt
Progressive Ordinance
Greensboro, N. C, Nov. 19. Special.
By a vote of three to two the board
of aldermen this evening, at a special
meeting, adopted an ordinance requir
ing all telephone and telegraph wires
in the principal business streets of
Greensboro to be placed under ground
within twelve month3 from date. This
ordinance has been discussed here for
several months, it having been charged
that the Southern Bell Company ini
tiated the measure to shut off possible
rival companies in the future. Before
the board, Alderman Boyd, the author
of the ordinance, Indignantly 1 denied
that the telephone company had ever
made any such suggestion or had ever
approached him about the matter. At
torneys for the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph Co-ipanies made
strong efforts to defeat the section
the ordinance requiring iheir wires to
be placed under ground.
A BIG CONTRACT
Few Offices to Fill and Many
V ant Them
i
! Winston-Salem, N. C, Nov. 19. Spe
cial. Governor-elect R. B. Glenn, ac
companied by Mrs. Glenn and daughter,
left today for Washington. In an in
terview Governor Glenn said that he
had not decided upon any of his ap
pointments. He said: "I am going to
Washington to look after some busi
ness, and upon my return, probably
next week, I will take up the applica
tions (and I have about five hundred
of them) and select the few men I have
to appoint." He said that' he only had
a few offices to dispose of; hence his
task is a difficult one.
' Upon his return from Washington he
will also begin work on his inaugural
address. In this he will outline his pol
icy and express' his views on public
questions. It is generally understood
that Mr. S. T. Neal, who was chief
clerk to Mr. Glenn during his term
as United States district attorney un
der President Cleveland, will receive a
good appointment. .

This year Carolina has every reason
to hope for a repetition of last year's
result. The team is playing good, con
sistent ball, and under the coaching of
Brown and Barry is being developed to
the highest point both in offensive and
defensive play. Thus far our team nas
scored 165 points to 22 for its opponents.
Georgetown University, one of the
foremost teams in the country, scored
16 of the 22 points, and A. & M. the
other 6. The locals have no excuse to
offer for the A. & M. score. Both teams
played good ball, and barring the fumb
ling, it was a beautiful exhibition of
the sport. Carpenter, the local right
half back, easily the best foot ball
player in the south, was not allowed to
play in the game, owing to some tech-s
nicality, and to his absence the tied
score may be attributed. Every man
on the Carolina team is a foot ball
player in all the worda mean.

JURY DISAGREED
John Turner Will B Tried
Again for Murder
Reldsville, N. C, Nov. 19. Special.
In the case of State vs. John Turner,
charged with the murder of his brother
near Madison last February, the jury
failed to agree on a verdict, so there
will be another trial. The trial was in
progress two days and the jury was out
fully as long. It will be recalled that
the brothers, after . transacting-some
business in Madison, during which time
things were done and said to cause bad
feeling to exist, tanked up on whiskey
and started for their homes. The next
morning Ben Turner was found by the
roadside dead, and his brother John was
arrested and lodged in the county jail
charged with the deed. John Turner
secured his release by giving bond of
$5,000, which he made himself.
Jack Dillard, the notorious Reidsville
outlaw, who was captured in Roanoke
a few days ago, was carried to Danville
today, where he will be tried for at
tempting to kill Policeman Hall. He Is
wanted here for several crimes which
he has committed. He escaped from
the county jail at Wentworth several
months ago, and since then has at
tempted to kill quite a number of peo
ple. Rewards aggregating a total of
$1,250 were offered for the capture of
the desperado.
COCKRELL IN MIND
m
He May be Appointtd en the
Canal Commission
Washington, Nov. 19 While as yet
no announcement had been made re
garding the president's action in the
selection to succeed Col. Frank J.
Hecker on the isthmian canal commis
sion, it is known that he is considering
seriously the appointment of Senator
Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri to the
vacancy.
Senator Cockrell said today in regard
to the rumors connecting his name
with a probable appointment at the
hands of President Roosevelt:
"If tendered any position by the pres
ident I should treat it with the greatest
consideration and do what might be
best in the premises. I have great re
gard for President Roosevelt, and
should he make any tender of a position
I would appreciate fully the motive
prompting it, and of course, give it full
consideration. However, it is manifest
ly improper at this time to state my
probable action in such an event."

good will to the new company, which
is under the management of Mr. H. B.

every respect.
Whitecappers Arrested
Jackson, Miss., Nov. 19. Twelve
white men, accused of being whitecap
pers and interfering with homestead
ers on United States lands, were
brought here today by a United States
deputy marshal, under indictments
found by the federal grand jury. The
men were placed under $2,000 bones
each for their appearance at the next
term of court. The grand jury returned
eighteen Indictments for alleged unlaw-
j ful interference with United States
! homesteaders.
Ploughed the Deck
London, Nov. 19. Captain Carron of
the liner Grange, which arrived today,
reports that on Wednesday, in the Firth
of Forth, a man-of-war fired six shots
at his ship. One struck it, ploughing
along the deck dangerously close to two
of the ship's officers. The weather was
hazy and no vessel was visible. It is
not believed the shots were fired by
any Russian warship. Probably the
narrow escape of the Grange was due
to careless target practice by some
British warship.
Durham Pulpits Tcday
Those of the Presbyterian ministers
who have not already left for their
homes wrill fill pulpits in Durham to
morrow. Many of the delegates left
yesterday afternoon. Some left during
the night and the morning trains today

be given by .Chairman E. P. Wilson of
the county board of elections and will
bear the following inscription: "White
Supremacy and Democratic Rule in For

Man and Woman Shot
Winston-Salem, N. C, Nov. 19. Spe
cial. At a corn husking at Poor's Knob,
Wilkes county, Wednesday evening,
Pete Lane got into a fight, when Lane
used a shot gun on a man named
Fletcher. The latter's wife was stand
ing near by and received a portion of
the load in the face. Fletcher's body
got the most of the shot, and both he
and his wife are in a bad condition.
Washington, Nov. 19. Special. A
new deal in the distribution of federal
offices is the generally accepted pro
gram of the administration. It is the
best opinion here that President Roose.
velt will retire the officers who have
received two apointments as fast as
their terms expire. No third terms is
the White House slogan, and while it is
conceded that there yl be. numerous
exceptions to the rule 'the statement is
made that unusual reasons must be of
fered to bring about , the '-appointment
of any government employe for a third
time. This means that the federal office
holders who were originally appointed
by Mr. McKinley and held over by Mr.
Roosevelt have got to walk, unless some
special reason is advanced for. their
retetnion in the government service. As
a result there is much uneasiness
among revenue officials, custom house
employes and postmasters. This class
has been yelping for Roosevelt, harbor
ing the belief that they would be re
tained in office. Removal will no doubt
diminish their enthusiasm for the G.
O. P.
The statement is - made that Mr.
Roosevelt does not consider government
officials any more entitled to immunity
from the time honored third term pre
cedent than himself, and he has already?
announced his intention to retire from
office as soon as he completes his sec
ond term. In this connection the opin
ion is advanced that Mr. Roosevelt
looks upon petitioners for a. third term
in the light of professionel office hold
ers. A change in office holders, he is
quoted as saying, would have a whole
some effect on the government service.
This news, which comes from an un
usually reliable source, will throw
chills among the office' holding element
in North Carolina.' Practically every
federal office in the state that is worth
having has been held by the present oc
cupant for two terms. The exceptions
are district Attorney Skinner and Post
master Wallace of Wilmington. They
are serving their first terms. It is not
to be taken for granted that all the
other federal office holders in the state
will be succeeded by new appointees.
As was stated above, there will prob
ably be exceptions, but in any event
the president is not likely to pay much
attention to "pulls." He is president
in his own right and has no axes to
grind for the future. In considering
probable changes among North Caro
lina office holders, Representative
Blackburn is a factor who must not be
overlooked. Certain federal office hold
ers fought him bitterly in the pri
maries, and to all intents and pur
poses fought him at. the polls. That he
will acquaint the president with the
facts is hardly to be doubted, and their
prospects for sitting at the pie counter
may be classified as remote.
A well informed New York Republi
can, who sees President Roosevelt of
ten and who is very close to him, said
this afternoon:
"It is certainly hard sledding ahead
for the Republican office holders in the
south. They belong to the old Hanna
faction, arid the president knows full
well that they were itching for the
opportunity to. send Hanna delegations
to the national convention, even up to
the day of the death of the late Ohio
senator. The president .is satisfied
that this element was unfriendly to
him, and the new deal is a certainty
in the south. Another reason for
turning down the old crowd is that
the president desires to make the Re
publican party more respectable In the"
south. You people may not believe it,
but Mr. Roosevelt is going to deal
gently with southern people, and they
will "be his admirers before he goe3
out of office."
The administration is not going after
Standard Oil, according to .Commis
sioner of Corporations James R. Gar
field, who stated positively today that
his bureau is making no special in
vestigation of the petroleum industry.
"It is being looked after on broad gen
eralities, as are all other industries,"
he said. "But there is no gunning for
the Standard Oil Company." This was
in reply to questions about a story
published in New-York this morning
that the president Avas going after the
scalp of the Standard Oil Company. "
"Only the beef trust is being specially
investigated," Mr. Garfield said, "and
the report of that investigation will
not be ready to submit to the president
before the opening of congress. It will
be submitted soon after, however."
' Senator Burrows of Michigan, who
called on President Roosevelt today,
said that the Senate committee would
begin taking testimony in the Reed
Smoot investigation in Washington
after the sitting of congress. It is not
yet certain whether the committee will
go to Utadi to finish taking the tsti
many or not. Senator .Overman Is
a member of the committee.
Hon. R. B. Glenn, governor-elect.,
is expected here. Mrs. Glenn and Miss
Glenn have been here for several days
and are stopping at the National.
Ex-Senator Marion Butler and Mar- '

, W. T. Stewart Dead
Greensboro,- N. C, Nov. 19. Special.
The community was shocked this morn
ing by the news cf the death of Mr.
W. T. Stewart, which occurred at his
home at 51-3 Sunranit avenue sho:tly
after 6 o'clock. The funeral will take
place from the residence at 3 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, conducted by Rev.

Jewelry Store Robbed
Salisbury, - N. C, Nov. 19. SiT:il.
i The jewelry store' of Mr. S. L. Swice
good was robbed early this morning of
about five hundred dollars worth of
jewelry. The robbery was a most dar
ing one and was committed in the full
glare of an electric light on the public
square. Among the articles stolen were
a valuable brooch an da number of gold
watches. There is no clue to the guilty
parties.
Washington, Nov. 19. E. N. Foss
of Boston, the defeated Republican
candidate for congress in Massachu
setts upon a Candian reciprocity and
tariff revision platform, had aT talk
with the president this morning and
directly thereafter stated that Mr.
Roosevelt had intimated to him that
he intended sending to congress next
month a special message dealing with
the subjects of revision and Canadian
reciprocity. The message, Mr. Foss
said, would be entirely separate and
distinct from the regular message to
be transmitted to congress at the open
ing of the session and would not be
forwarded before the middle or the
end of December..
Tariff revision and reciprocity were
discussed at length by the president
and Mr. Foss this morning. The presi
dent desired particularly to talk about
Canadian reciprocity sentiment in New
England. Mr. Roosevelt showed that
he believed the Douglas victory In
Massachusetts was due to the recipro
city platform upon which he ran and
agreed with Mr. Foss, as suggested,
that something should be done in the
near future to frustnrate any attempt
ed gains by Democrats in New Eng
land and other border states of t1-
north, which might be acquired
through advocacy of Canadian reci
procity. Mr. Roosevelt showed hin
familiarity with the situation by tell
ing Mr. Foss that in Michigan, for
instance, the entire membership of the
! state legislature, all Republicans, favor
agreement with- the Dominion. Mr,
Roosevelt also referred to. the situation ,
in other continguous states. . i
. Mr. Foss told the president that up
less the Republicans accomplishedl
something in the way of reciprocity
with congress it might reasonably b
expected that the Democrats wil make
gains at forrthcoming elections li
Massachusetts and other New Englancf
states. He admitted that he had been
defeated on the reciprocity and tariff
issue, but pointed to the fact that he
had run far in excess of the guberna
torial ticket of his party.
Mr. Foss said that a ' movement'
would be set on foot to force th
gubernatorial nomination next year
upon Senator Lodge, who had opposed
reciprocity with Canada. He said that
Mr. Ledge would undoubtedly be re
elected to the . Senate, but that his
party would call upon him to lead the
state ticket next November In order
that victory might be secured.
