EUHU ROOT NOW COMES FORWARD His Acceptance Regarded as Deeply Significant PRESIDENT'S CANDIDATE Declaration in Washington That the Industrial News Will Appear About August 15 Blackburn Pa per Scheduled to" Come. Forth Within 90 Days By THOMAS J. PENCE Washington, July 6. Special. In Washington there have been serious doubts as to whether Elihu Root would give up his immense law practice to accept the president's tender of tha etate department folio, and the an nouncement of his acceptance today came somewhat as a surprise. When Mr. Root left the cabinet two years ago he told his friends that he was a poor man, and that he owed it ,o his family to resume the practice of law, where he ranks as the foremost torporation practitioner in the United States. Mr. Root's willingness to give up a law practice, estimated at $250,00) a. ' year for an eight thousand dollar cabinet position is of deep significance in Washington. The return of the former secretary of tvar to the Roosevelt cabinet is coh lidered tantamount to a declaration lhat in 1908 he wilFbe a candidate for '.he Republican presidential nomination. The re-entrance of the learned New Vorker in the cabinet puts a new as pect upon the .struggle for the Republl .an presidential nomination, which has een on in earnest for some time. Many people hud begun to look upon Taft as the administration candidate, ut this will disappear, for Taft will ;ease to be the potential figure that e has been. In fact, he has tbeen ibput the only secretary the president nas consulted, but things will be differ ent when Root takes his seat at the cabinet table. ' inhere are three candidates in the present cabinet aspiring for the presi lential nomination, not to speak of Mr. Roosevelt himself, whom fbma people refuse to put out of the running. These are Secretaries Taft, Shaw and Cortelyou. It is true that Mr. Cortel you is only a budding candidate, so to speak, but he has supporters. , Now Mr. 3 toot enters the contest. That his re turn to the cabinet will give uneasiness to the other candidates there is every reason to believe, for there is hardly any man in this country closer to Mr. Roosevelt than Mr. Root, and in well Informed circles in Washington the belief prevails that the new secretary of state is the president's candidate to succeed him as chief executive in 190S. It was recalled here today by a close associate- of the president that a year ago Mr. Roosevelt strongly urged 'Mr. Root to accept the Republican nomina tion for the governorship of Now York, which he could have had by merely let ting it be known that he was in a re ceptive attitude. The man who spoke Of what occurred at that time said that he knew that Mr. Roosevelt' then told Mr. Root if the latter would agree to, run for governor of his state, Mr. Roose velt would give him all his support to secure the Republican nomination for the presidency in 1908. There is not the slightest reason to doubt the relia bility of the man who is responsible for this important disclosure. His reputa tion is national and his intimacy with the admnistraton is such that what he lays must be regarded as of import- Industrial Newt August 15 The declaration was made here today ihat the Industrial News, the pa,per that the Republican organization pro poses to establish at Greensboro, will make its appearance about Augit 15th. It is claimed that the ordel1? were placed some time ago for a Goss' press and three Mergenthalers, which are to be delivered before the middle of the next month. Ex-Senator Butler, who is taking an active part in the or ganization of the new paper, has gone to North Carolina, and before he re turns will confer with the directors 5f the proposed paper. . The call for "he first payment on stock was issued lome days ago, which was required to be turned over to the .treasurer by Tuly 12th. - Dally Jar Heel In 90 Days The promoters of that rival publi cation. The Daily Tar Heel, are very ' Busy using a lot of Uncle Sam's post ge. Circulars have been received here from General Managgr-Lewis seeking jubscribers of stock and subscribers to the paper to be. He announced that the Blackburn paper will appear with in ninety days, seven times a week, Tnd that it has fifty thousand dollars to burn. Among other, announcements made by the general manager is the followin: "The Tar Heel will be the champion of the Republican party in the south. It will stand for the rights of the peo ple and keep them posted on the things they 'ought to know, exposing frauds and political trickery wherever found." Medals to Cape Lookout Surfmen Gold medals have been awarded by Secretary Shaw to William H. Gas kill, the keeper, and Kilby Guthrie, Walter M. Yeomans, Tyre Moore, Joseph L. Lewis, John A. Guthrie, James W. Fulcher, John E. Kirkman andCaiup T. Jarvis, surf men of the Cape Lookout life-saving station at Morehead City, N. C. The award was In recognition of a notable work per formed by these men in saving the lives of the crew of the schooner Sarab D. J. . Dawson, which stranded on Lookout Shoals February 9. Fourth class postmasters were ap pointed today as follows: Leicester, Buncombe county, Althea E. Sluder; McLaurin, Surry county, Annie E. Scales; Mortimer, Caldwell county, Jos. L. Hayes;, Stecoah, Graham county, Phillip S. Scrip. Mrs. R. B. Glenn and Miss Rebekah Glenn spent the night in the city and left this morning -for Atlantic City, where they will join Governor Glenn. General and Mrs. W. R. Cox are here, stopping at the Shoreham. Announcement Expected Today New York, July 6. The president is expected- to announce tomorrow that Elihu Root will succeed John Hay as secretary of state, although the presi dent would make no statement this morning on his return from Cleveland other than that an announcement would be made some time tomorrow at Oyster Bay regarding Mr. Root's reply to the invitation to accept the port folio of state, and Mr. Root himself declined' to discuss the matter at all. The president and Mr. Root had sev eral long private conversations on the journey from Cleveland to this city. It is understood that in these talks the president renewed the in vitation he had already extended and that Mr. Root finally accepted. While there was not a member of the cabinet who regarded it as discreet to say more than "I believe Mr. Root is th man," or "the situation looks hopeful," ! or to advise the newsoaoer men aboard "don't get very far from Root," there was a feeling in the air that the mat ter had been settled to the entire satisfaction of the president. IN HANDS OF THE JURY Arguments and Charge in Dewey Trial Concluded Jury Took Case at 10:30 Last Night. W. W. Clark Opened and Gover nor Aycock Concluded A Juror Became 111 New Bern, N. C, July 6. Special. A report wasj rumored on our streets yes terday evening that the child of A. H. Mcintosh, a juror in the case of Thomas W. Dewey, the defaulting cashier of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of. this city, was dead. Judge E. B. Jones immediately sent the juror home and dispatched a deputy to the household to ascertain the facts, which proved the child was sick, but not dangerously ill. . So the juror returned this morning in ample time to proceed with the trial. Mr. W. W. Clark, for the state, opened the case in a strong and power ful argument to the jury as to the guilt of the defendant. He was followed by Mr. A. D. Ward for the defendant in his usual logical manner. He was followed by Mr. D. L. Ward for the state, making a strong appeal for the conviction of Thomas W. Dewey. Judge Osborne then spoke in behalf of the defendant. It is useless to com ment on his speech, as his reputation as an orator and debater is unques tioned. The next speakers were Hon. O. H. Guion and Solicitor L. I. Moore for the st'ate, both gentlemen doing themselves credit as well as credit to the state of North Carolina in prose cuting a violation of law against our commonwealth. At six o'clock ex-Governor C. B. Aycock, for the defendant, went to the jury.- A short time after he had been speaking one of the jurors became ill, and Judge Jones allowed the juror under a deputy a few minutes' out in the fresh air. The day was very hot and the court house was crowded to its utmost. The galleries were entirely occupied by ladies to hear the distinguished coun sels' arguments, and Judge Jones' charge to the jury. On account of the continued illness of the juror and the hot weather, at 7 o'clock the judge an nounced that the court would take a recess until 8:30 o'clock, when Gov. C. B. Aycock concluded his argument to the jury. After the judge's charge the jury took the . ; case about 10:30 o'clock tonight. Leanders Won Finals Henley, Eng. July 6.

THEODOSIA FOLK ARE FLEE1 In Fear of Mutineers' Threat to Bombard COMPLIED WITH DEMAND Report That Rebel Battleship Has Captured the Grand Duke Alexis Near Theodosia Forty-five Mu tineers, Refusing to Renew Al legiance, Put to Death Theodosia, Crimea, July 6. The in habitants of the town are fleeing in fear of a bombardment by the rebel battleship Kniaz Potemkin. Only the troops, the police 'and the officers are remaining. It is feared that the muti neers will carry out their threat to gflre on the town this evening. The exodus from the town Is in ac cordance with orders received from the authorities at St. Petersburg, who in structed the local government to refuse to supply food for the mutineer and request . civilians to leave the town, in view of a possible conflict. Representatives of the town were sumomned on board the Potemkin yes terday and wereceived in the admiral's cabin by a commission of the muti neers, which is in command of the ship. The commission demanded 5,000 tons of coal and supplies of meat, lard, oil, tobacco arid matches, to be deliv ered within twenty-four hours.. . If the supplies were not forthcoming, the mutineers said, the inhabitants would be notified to quit and the town Would be bombarded. The mayor was asked by the mutineers to issue a proclamation demanding that the war be -brought to an end, that the congress of Zemstvog be summoned and calling -on the people to join the revolution. The . workmen demanded .that.' the orders of the mutineers be Complied with, une muuifipaui' as cided to comply, except as to the coal, and this was refused on the ground that there was none" to be had. Captured Russian Merchant Ship' London. July 6 The rebel battleship Kniaz Potemkin has captured the Rus sian merchant ship Grand Duke Alexis, and seized her cargo of cattle and pro visions. The mutineers also got a sum of money and some diamonds. The capture was made near Theodosia. The source of this information is the Theodosia of the- Russian Navigation and Commerce Company. , MuMneers Put to Death Paris, July 6. A dispatch to the Eclal from Odessa says that forty-five muti neers! of the battleship Georgi Pobie dono3teff, which surrendered last Mon day, have been put to death. The ring leaders were required "to renew their oath of allegiance to the czar. Forty five of them refused to do so and were shot. Russian Crews Agitated Manila, July 6. The news of the mu tiy of the crews of the Kniaz Potemkin, as published.ln the newspaers, has agi tated the crews of the three Russian warships that are anchored here. The police stand ready to cor-operate with the officers of the ships, but trouble is considered unlikely. The Russian ships are anchored among the shipping inside the breakwater. A hospital ship is expected to arrive on Saturday and remove the sick" from Ca.yite, where they are now in hospitals. Rumor That, Kniaz Wat Blown Up Odessa, July 6. It is rumored here that the Kniaz Potemkin has been blown up near Theodosia. There is nothing however to confirm the report. . Theodosia Reported on Fire London, July . 6. The Odessa corre-' spondent of the Da'ly Mail says it is J reported that the town of Theod6sta j is Durning, tnat tne soldiers or tne gar- ; rison are looting, that the Kniaz Po. temkin is bombarding the town, and that another torpedo boat has joined, the mutineers. Only one Russian steam er has been allowed to leave the port.' Fired on Boat From Kniaz Theodosia, July 6. The Kniaz Potem kin sent a boat ashore this morni"ng. The infantry fired on it, killing two of its officers. Seven others jumped over board and were saved. The rebel tor pedo boat accompanying the battleship then fired a shell over the town, but.lt did no" damage. The battleship anl torpedo boat went to sea at noon, but kept in sight v of the town.' - - - Gigantic Outbreak Still Possible London, June 7. The Odessa corre-! spondent of the Standard says if it is true that the Kniaz Potemkin intends to attack Batoum, which is a seenl- .class fortification, it Is extremely like ly that the disaffected inahbitants will rise. With their cd-operation the arsenal might be looted, .and the am- ! munition seized, ;. Such an, exploit would immediately kindle an unquenchable "insurrection throughout the Caucasus. The correspondent adds that the ori ginal plot of the mutineers failed owing to the defection - of ? the crewd of tne Georgi, but the failure was only tem porary, the local -elements for kindling the intended gigantic outbreak still exist. The governor has announced that it is absolutely Impossible to give plenary amnesty, to the crew of the Kniaz PPotemkin. i The latest news from Sebastopol em phasizes the assertion that not a single ship of the . squadron could be induced to fire on the Kniaz Potemkin. The ministry of marine : at St. Petersburg is so alarmed by the "disaffection that it contemplates the, dismissal of every one of the crews and the claying up of all vessels, trusting that the Kniaz Potemkin will eventually surrender owing to the exhaustion of her am munition. ; , .' . " - LINCOLN UNIVERSITY Gets $20,000 From Carnegie, Gen Howard Having Raised Like Sum New ; York, July 6.--GeneraI Oliver O. Howard, presidejfit' of the board of directors of the Lincoln Memorial Uni versity at Cumberland Gap, Tenn., has received word that a contribution of $20,000 from Andrew' Carnegie for tve erection of a library building at the university will be paid forthwith, Gen eral Howard having succeeded in rais ing a similar amount for the main tenance of the library. This addition to the facilities of the institution will provide means greatly needed by the mountaineer students for completing the ; education which Gen eral Howard undertook in performance of a promise to Abraham Lincoln to provide for the men and women among whom the martyred president spent his early days. The total endowment fund paid in is now more than $40,000, exclusive of money spent for buildings and furnish ings. This sum must be increased to at. least $200,000 if the work is to be extended so as to meet requirements now in sight. To this end a movement has been started by private subscrip tions, but it is deemed advisable now to open a public subscription list in the confident belief that a very large number of persons will be glad of the opportunity to testify to their affec tion for Abraham Lincoln, to whom the university named for him is a most fitting memorial. f V THE EPWjDKlLEAiE Rev.
