Dockery, who is at the point of death, fired one shot at Rogers as he fell to the landing "ten steps beneath. The ball grazed Rogers' hip. The tragedy was the outcome of a visit to a disreputable s house by Dockery and Claude ; 51. Bernard with the daughters of Rogers and Henry C. Howell.

The sujt is brought in the form of a pauper, and is made under the section of the code which requires arrest and bail. Clerk' of the Court Russ placed Bernard's bail at $5,000, and unless he gives this after his apprehension he will go to jail. The warrant is made returnable at the term of court here July loth. The affidavit of Howell is very brief, and the facts of the-alleged crime are not recited in this paper. The warrant has been sent to Wilmington, and there is little doubt about Bernard's arrest. In fact, if he failed o appear in Raleigh to answer the complaint, then judgment for $20, 000 would be entered against him by de fault. He is a man of means, and is supposed to be worth more than double this amount. Impending Trouble Apparent A score of persons, who had heard vague rumors or observed the move ments of Rogers and his son and the Howells shortly after nine o'clock yes terday morning, realized that trouble was impending. Indeed,, less than half an hour before the tragedy Mr. A. C. Hinton, who had noticed what was going on, warned Dockery of danger. Officer Rogers' beat this month was on Fayetteville street. He stood around the pdstofhee and the Tucker Building and had several chats with his son, Paul Rogers, and with Clarence, and Cleveland Howell. Dockery came into the Tucker Building pharmacy and while he was there Rogers stapped his lawyer, Col. Harris, on the opposite side of the street for a few seconds and talked with him. Then, facing the drug store, he conferred with his son, Paul. Dockery went out of the store and entered the postoffice with Post master Bailey at the side door. Clar ence Howell was then standing on the sidewalk a short distance away. When Dockery came out of the postoffice young Howell looked at him, then joined Rogers. When Dockery returned to the drug store Mr. Hinton told him that those men seemed to be after him, pointing the men on the opposite side of the street out to Dockery. Young Howell then came into the drug store and Mr. Hinton heard this conversa tion in substance: . "I want to see you," said Howell to (Contiued on "page five.) FEARS OF A BOYCOTT The Pacific Coast Beginning to Take Alarm j Secretary Metcalf Does Not Think the Exclusion Laws Are Enforced Too Harshly The President ! Thinks Otherwise Washington, June 24. The danger of a boycott against Americai goods in China is causing alarm even on the Pacific coast, and telegrams are being received by President Roosevelt call ing for a less' harsh execution of the Chinese exclusion laws in this country. The significance of these telegrams, cdming as they do from a part of the country where the agitation in favor of the exclusion 'law originated, is fully appreciated by the president. President Roosevelt had a long con ference with Secretary Metcalf of the department of commerce this morning. A little later he talked with Solicitor Penfield of the state department in regard to the provisions of our treaty with China. The immigration is un der Mr. Metcalf's department and the secretary does not take the view that the administration of the exclusion law is any more rigid than it ought to be. The president does not agree with him, however, and Mr. "Roosevelt is determined that there shall be a change in the methods of administra tion. Mr. Metcalf is from California. A statement on the Chinese boycott matter will be given out at the White House' tomorrow. This telegram from the chamber of commerce of Portland, Ore., addressed to the president, was made public to day: "The Portland chamber of commerce respectfully urges immediate action on your part with respect to this country's relations wi'th China, the first consideration being. a regard for the nation's honor, which demands faithful and fair performance of its treaty obligations. Secondly, our com mercial interests are seriously threat ened by the severe manner in which our present laws regarding the ad mission of Chinese into this country are executed, which seem in their practical working to contravene treaty obligations. We earnestly recommend that a more liberal interpretation of the laws be enjoined upon the immi gration authorities, and meantime the announcement of the appointment by your excellency' of a commission to in quire into the present exclusion laws and the method of their enforcement with instructions to recommend to congress such legislation as shall pro mote increased harmony between the two nations, would have a beneficial effect. We are advised today by cable from Hong Kong that immediate action is necessary by our govern ment or a boycott will follow." BLACKBURN HAS A QUIET CONFAB He Is Silent Regarding White House Interview GOT WHAT HE WANTED The Eighth District Congressman to Have a Voice in the Dispensing of Patronage He Refuses to Com ment on His Reported Understand ing With Chairman Rollins By THOMAS J. PENCE Washington, Junfc 24. Special. Rep resentative E. Spencer Blackburn had a half hour's conference with the president at the White House this morning, which it is known related to North Carolina politics, and especially to the dispelling of federal patron age in the state. Just what took place at this interview will not be known unless Mr. Blackburn changes the at titude he assumed today after emerg ing from the executive offices. The representative from the' Eighth dis trict admitted that he saw the presi dent, and later in the day consented to make this statement: "I had a very pleasant and satis fctory talk with the president, and you may say that I am satisfied that he will do the fair and just thing by North Carolina Republicans. As for myself, Mr. Roosevelt will give me the recognition to which I am entitled at the proper time." The report that State Chalrmon Rol lins and Mr. Blackburn have reached an agreement with reference to the distribution of patronage in the state was brought to the congressman's at tention, but he refused to comment on the subject. This report, that the young factional leaders had decided to settle their differences and had agreed on a patronage program is reiterated here with much persistency. It is said that according to this agreement Blackburn will be satisfied with the naming of the marshal and district attorney in the western district, con ceding the collectorship and other of ficers to Chairman Rollins. Mr. Black burn was asked specially about such an arrangement, but declared that he was unable to throw any light on the subject. Mr. Blackburn talked longer with the president today than at any previous interview since his election to congress. . In fact his previous visits at the White House have not been lengthy. Mr. Roosevelt un doubtedly weni over with him the question of party differences in the organization in the state. One thing seems to be settled with the president, and that is, he will dis pose of all the big North Carolina appointments together about the- first of the new year. Marshall Milliken's term expires early in December. Soon thereafter the terms of all the other big officeholders will come to an end with the exception of District Attor ney Harry Skinner, who will hold on for a while longer. Mr. Blackburn was accompanied to Washington by Col. W. S. Pearson of Morganton, whom he presented to the president. Colonel Pearson is apply ing for a position in the consular ser vice, and the president is disposed to reward him with an appointment. The matter was brought up by Mr. Black burn, who strongly endorsed Colonel Pearson, reciting the fact that he is endorsed by all the Republican mem bers of the legislature. At present there is no available vacancy, and as Colonel Pearson wishes to go to Canada he will have to wait until one exists. . In 1873 he was appointed con sul to Palermo, Italy, by President Grant. Representative Slemp, who is the boss of Virginia Republicans, is ar ranging to explode a lot of red fire at the Republican state convention, which will' meet at Roanoke July 8. He was here today and unfolded a .scheme by which he proposes to have all the candidates for the Republican presidential nomination in 1908 at his convention. He winged Secretary of the Treasury Shaw today, who readily accepted an invitation, and says he will also land Vice President Fair banks and Secretary Taft. The nomi nee for governor is going to be Dis trict Attorney J. J. Lewis. An Asheville Sensation Asheville, N. C, June 24 Special. Fred W. Thomas has been named to take despositions for the defendant in this city in the $50,000 breach of prom ise suit"' of Miss Lola Walker of Ashe-. ville against Millionaire Edwards of Tennessee. It is said that a number of persons residing in the fashionable. Montford avenue section of Asheville have been summoned to give testimony, principally as relative to the character of the plaintiff. A ripple of excitement has resulted over the serving of papers by a deputy sheriff. It was also stated RALEIGH. N. C.

The peace sit uation on the surface has shown no change, but there is good reason to believe that during the past few days President Roosevelt 'has been very busy in communicating with St. Petersburg and Tokio, both through the diplomatic representatives of Russia and Japan in Washington and the United States gov ernment diplomats in the two capitals. The question of an armistice has been the main subject of the president's rep resentations. It now seems, that there will be no cessation of hostilities until the peace plenipotentiaries of the belligerent na tions come to Washington. Jt became known tonight that the president was informed several days ago by the Jap anese government that it would not take the initiative in negotiations for an armistice, and it was also indicated very clearly that an armistice was not desired until the plenipetontiaries meet. Japan has no intention of "throwingg away her strategical advantages in the far east by agreeing1 to an armistice. THE GOLDEN REE A Fugitive Chinaman Gives Chris tian America -a Hint Philadelphia, June 24. Kang We Ye, the noted Chinese reformer, who was obliged to flee from China because the empress became enraged at finding that he was instilling his ideas of govern ment into the mind of the young em peror, who was his pupil, arrived here this evening, after having had a long audience with President Roosevelt. Chinese scholars and city officers greet ed him. Late in the evening a Chinese banquet, attended by prominent Chi nese from New York' and this city, was given him. We said that in speaking with Presi dent Roosevelt the subject of the pro posed boycott came up, and he told th president he did not wish to say any thing about it, as the president must know what is right and that the Chi nese are looking to the Christians to carry out the "golden rule" they talk about- He also told the president that the movement toward American exclu sion is one of the Chinese people's, and not of the government, which regrets it. WERE NOT NEGROES Brazilian Midshipmen Excite Pat rons of a Norfolk Restaurant Norfolk, Va., June 24. Four mid shipmen of the Brazilian cruiser Benja min Constant were requested to leave the Neddo Cafe here because other guests of the place mistook them for negroes. Lieutenant Llorente, the spokesman for the party, declared that they did not comprehend the cause of the confusion they created in the din ing room, but wThen it was explained in Spanish they were glad to leave and go to a finer hotel. They went to the Monticello, the largest hotel in the city, and were entertained with all the courtesy that is shown to other guests. Barton Meyers, the Brazilian consul here, said that the incident had not bepn referred to his notice officially, and he supposed it would not be, as the officers are of Spanish descent and all educated and cultivated naval of ficers. The cadets from the ship have had shore leave and have been going around the city freely and behaving with more propriety than the average sailor behaves after a long cruise. The officers are having a banquet at the Atlantic Hotel tonight, to which they invited the members of the press and a number of Spanish-speaking citi zens.

ENGINEERS FOR STliiAN CANAL Consulting Board Directed to Meet September 1st WILL DECIDE ON PLANS Five Distinguished Foreigners to Share the Labors With Nine Americans The Principal Ques tion Is Whether the Canal Shall Be Sea Level or Lock and Dam Washington, June 24. In an execu tive order issued today. President Roosevelt gives his instructions to the board of consulting engineers of the Panama canal, and also announces the personnel of the board. The president directs the board to convene in Wash ington September 1 to investigate and pass on the plans of the canal com mission, and, if the board deems it necessary, a man will go to the isthmus to make an investigation of conditions there. The canal commission is in structed by the order to turn over to the consulting board all maps, charts, plans and other data which have been gathered. Scores of plans have been submitted to the commission by engineers from all parts of the world. No action has been taken on any of these plans, the commission leaving the matter of the final decision to the consulting board. The most important thing to be de cided by them is whether the canal shall be a sea level or a lock struc ture. ' The board consists of fourteen mem bers, nine of whom are prominent I American engineers from various parts of the country, and the other five are foreigners. France, Germany and Eng land have each designated an engineer, who will be present at tke meeting September 1, and the Netherlands gov ernment has been asked to make a nomination. M. Quellennec, the con sulting engineer of the Suez canal, is the fifth foreigner who has been asked to participate. The personnel of the board is as follows: General George W. Davis, .Alfred Noble, William Barclay Parsons, Wil liam H. Burr, General Henry L. Ab bott, Frederic . P. Stearns, Joseph Rip ley, Herman Schussler, Henry Hunter (Nominated by the English ' govern ment), Herr Eugene Tincauzer (nomi nated by Germany), M. Guerard (nom inated by France), and M. Quellennec. The fourteenth member will be named soon by Netherlands. President Roosevelt determined upon having a board of consulting en gineers at the time of the reorganiz ation of the isthmian canal commission. He made several appointments at that time, and through the state depart ment asked Great - Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands to select engineers of a High standard in their own countries to come to Washington to assist in settling the vexing ques tions, which are sure to appear. The American me. bers of the board are all prominent in their own lines. Plans are being made by Governor Magoon of the Panama canal zone for the construction of forty-two school houses within the zone. Secretary Taft has approved a recom mendation of Governor Magoon that $30,000 of the funds of the government of the canal zone derived from local revenue be used for public school pur poses. The money will be applied for the purchase of real estate, the con struction of school houses, rent of rooms and the general equipment of the buildings constructed. A recent census of the canal zone shows that there are 1,936 children in the villages within a' radius of a mile and a half of the line of the Panama Railroad. Of these 976 are male and 960 female, 1,045 between the ages of six and ten, and ,891 between the ages of eleven and sixteen. Of the total 893 can read and write, and 935 can neither read nor write. The balance can read, but not write. WORKING ON THE WRECK Facts Brought Out by the Coroner's Inquest at Mentor Cleveland, O., June 24. Detectives investigating the wreck of the Lake Shore's Twentieth Century Limited, at Mentor Wednesday night,, tonight an nounced that they believe the switch causing the disaster was thrown open byN the man who murdered Marion Burlison here last Friday night. This man was seen near the se.ne of the wreck early Wednesady 'flight, the description of him tallying with that I of the man who killed Burlison. The I fugitive is known as a desperate dope j fiend. He murdered and robbed Bur lison, a prominent west side resident, after he had befriended him. Coroner Sielesten began an investi gation of the Mentor wreck today. He disclosed facts which he believes to be of great importance". He found evi dence that the switch was not thrown immediately before the advancing train, but had been open for some time; that a boy probably did not throw the switch; that a water plug stands almost directly in line between the switch Tight and the west track; that from the tracks 500 yards west ward the switch light is concealed; that directly beneath the Water plug is a switch exactly like the one that caused the wreck. The coroner believes this liht may. have been mistaken by the engineer for the light further on and that not until the further switch was almost reached did he see the red danger light. He says Lake Shore employes have complained for years of the ' "lead" of the switch lights at Mentor. ; General Superintendent Storrs said in reply to the coroner's statements that he could state positively that the engineer and fireman saw the light of the switch that caused the wreck.

BRAGG'S DAUGHTE Mrs. Carrie Graves Dead in New Yorfe Love and Elopement Married a Yankee Against Opposition of Both Families Wife of Engineer and Mother of Nine Children New York, June 24. Mrs. Carrie Graves, a daughter of Ma j. Gen. Brax ton Bragg of the Confederate army, died Thursday morning at 102S East 137th street of cancer, and was buried today. , General Bragg in his early career was that Captain Bragg of the United States army to whom General Taylor, at the battle- of Buena Vista, gave his famous order: "A little more grape, Captain Bragg." It was he who whipped Rosecrans at Chickamauga and fought Grant at Missionary Ridge. He left lands and estates when he died in 1876, yet his daughter, brought up a southern gentlewoman, with Servants and gallant society, lived for twenty years as the wife of a railroad engi neer, doin the work of a largo house hold, for she was the mother of nine children. All this was the finish to an elopement which stirred up the society of North Carolina in its time. In the early 80s Arthur Graves, a Yankee out of New Haven, was wan dering in the south, doing an odd job wherever he could find it. Carrie Bragg, daughter of the geneal, who died in 1876, was then living with her mother on the family estate at New Bern, N. C. Arthur Graves met her there, and they fell head over ears in love. But Graves was a Yankee and the opposition was violent. One night the couple packed tip and eloped. They made straight for New Haven, where Graves expected they would be welcomed and married at his home. He was mistaken, as his parents opposed the match. So they eloped a second time, went to the par sonage of a Methodist church, and were married. Arthur Graves, with a wife to sup port, had to get something to do. He took the first job that offered, which happened to Jae firing on the New Haven line. His people forgave him In time, and a year later Mrs. Bragg re lented and visited her daughter in New Haven. She died in 18S6. About that time Mr. and Mrs. Graves moved to New York, where they have lived ever since.; Graves was promoted to be an engineer on the New York, New Haven and Hartford, and still works at the throttle.
