Address On Scottish Banking System The reports of the committees hav ing all been presented, President Swin ney introduced' Mr. Robert Blythe, general manager of the. Union Bank of Scotland of Glasgow, tot make, an address on the Scottish banking sys tem. Mr. Blythe presented an interesting history of the Scottish to the commit tee. ... ' . ' He maintained that it was the pound 1 note that enabled the network of branch banks to be maintained in Scotland, and that encouraged the sav ings of the poorer classes. , With the J English 5-pound notes and the metallic currency, he said, these branch banks could not have been maintained, be cause of the prohibitive cost. The ag gregate deposits of the ten Scottish banks represent $500,000,000. . ' The bank accent the bonds and honors checks up to the amount named in it,- obviating the pledging of se curities. Interest is not charged ex cept on the amount' drawn. The uni form interest, discount and commis sion charged by the ten Scottish banks is a distinctive feature. During the half century there have been but two bank failures in Scotland. A rising vote of thanks was tendered Mr! Blythe at the close of . his ad dress. ' Thevsecond address of the program today was delivered by Mr. "Walker Hill, president of the Mechanics Amer ican National Bank of St. Louis, on the practical benefits of membership in the American Bankers Association. Mr. Hill spoke in part as follows: . "The work of the American banker is extending farther and farther every day and becoming more and more of public importance, as the railroads bring all parts of the country closer and closer together, and our flag rises here and there in faraway countries, and each day the need of the Ameri can banker 's knowledge of -distant (Continued on page 2.)

UNIVERSITY ANNIVERSARY Honoring the Day the Insti 1 tution Was Founded WONDERFUL PROGRESS Noteworthy Facts Showing the Great Improvements of the Last Year Enumerated SplendidiAddress of Col. Robert Bingham Telegrams From Alumni and Other Details Chapel Hill, N. C, Oct. 12. Special. The University anniversary day exer cises were held this morning in Ger rard hall at 11 o'clock. - As is well known to the people of the state October 12th commemorates the date of the founding of this ven erable institution, and its return each year is fittingly observed, both here and In the larger towns of the state. Alumni associations in the cities have within" the last few years taken much interest in observing the occasion and today innumerable sons of the univer sity throughout the state have met ,to do homage and to pay reverence to the dear old institution. ; The principal speaker of the day w?s Colonel Robert Biftgham, founder of the Bingham school at Asheville. Col. Bingham is one of the leading citizens of the Old North State,, a prominent educator, and has probably accom plished more in an educational way than any other person in the state. This is his first visit to the univer sity in a number of years and his coming has been eagerly anticipated by the students for some weeks. The exercises were opened with music by the university orchestra. This orchestra numbers fifteen pieces and is one of the foremost musical organizations to be found among southern colleges and universities. It has been carefully trained under the eadership of Mr. Charles T Woollen, registrar "of "the university", and the music furnished by it does credit both to the orchestra and to its skilled in structor. . The assemblage was led in prayer by Rev. J. W. Wildman, who offered up an invocation couched in ' beauti ful language in which he asked that the Almighty continue to be the leader of the university and that His divine blessing might ever remain with it. The prayer 'was followed by the university hymn sung by the au dience. Wonderful Progress Before introducing Colonel Bing ham, President Venable made a short report concerning the institution. He opened his remarks by telling what a great help to the university these universitity celebrations are.. He read one telegram from the Birmingham Alumni Association, sending love and greetings to the old mother. The most noteworthy facts of the last session were the number of the stu dents, 667; secondly, the completion of the Bynum memorial gymnasium, the gift of Judge W. P. Bynum of Charlotte, and a man who never at tended the university. This building was given as a memo rial to his grandson, W. P. Bynum, Jr., who died while, a student here; third, the donation by the state of a new chemical laboratory, a $50,000 building, and an increase in the year ly appropriation to the support of the university; fourth, an appropriation of $25,000 by the general educational board; fifth, the offer by Mr. Carnegie of a new librarv building:, provided the university raise a fund for its maintenance; sixth, the establishment of two new departments, the gradu ate and the applied science depart ments; seventh, the granting-of a char ter by the Phi. Beta Kappa Society to the university; eight, the establish ments of fellowships in chemistryr Another important fact was the es tablishment' of the university council, that is governed and disciplined by the students; lastly, the high standard of work done in all departments last year. The y number of students today is 650, giving promise of a larger attendance than ever be fore in the history of the university. Dr. Venable gave his idea of a true university and defined his hopes and ambitions for the future of our own university. Dr. Venable's remarks were listened to with the greatest interest by thvs audience. When he had conciuaea, tne song "Hail to U. N. C, audience standing. was sunj the Address By Col. Bingham In introducing Col. Bingham, ; Dr. Venable referred to him in most com plimentary terms as a most loyal son of the university. Col. Bingham was graduated from the university ' with the class of 1856, his father with the class of 1825. s V Col. Bingham's address was of a his- torical naxure He said that it - was (Continued on Page Three. THE PHILLIE! The Score in Yesterday's - " -A" : " ' - - - - - Game 9 to 0 MiTHESONS VICTORY New York's Pitcher Outclassed Coak ley and It Was the Giant's Game AH the Way ThroughNew York Has Won Two Games of the Three Played Philadelphia, Oct. 32. Fur overcoat baseball was played here today in the third game of the world's championship series and Jthe Philadelphia American league champions were frozen out by the New York National League cham pions. Not only were the Philadel- phias-frozen out, but they were shut out by the New Yorksi out-played in the fundamentals and the fine points of the game and humbled by the top- i heavy score of 9 to 0. Christy Mathewson again twirled the New 'Yorks to victory. Tlius far with Mathewson pitching, the Athletics and the home plate have been strangers. They managed to do something today they could not do on Monday and that was to make two of their four hits in one inning, but they could not forward a base runner beyond second base. Mathewson did not bear the palm alone, for his; fellows were all very much in the game, but ho was the planet around which the others revolved. Young Coakley of Philadelphia did not pitch a bad game by any means. He was not the equal of Mathewson, nor as cool and steady, but whereas j Mathewson's support was good, Coak ) ley's was faltering and ragged. For the champions, the Athletics gave n poor exhibition. Indeed, their tail end work tended to make New York's play look stronger" than it really was. Stilly hvithout the PWiadelhia blundering the New Yk& would have won. There cogid.have been no other result. The chief offender on the Philadelphia side inflelding was Second Baseman Mur phy. , He made three errors' and after liis first one was up In the air higher than a string of kites that gyrated in the overhead winds. Five runs were due to his errors. The New York men turned on the hits when the Philadelphias were floundering, out-hitting the home team two to one. In those innings in which they took the warpath they made things hum and were helped along by the trance-like, befuddled inability of the Athletics to break up their base running. Connie Mack was still cheerful after the game and not repining or making excuses. The attendance was good considering the weather. Most of the seating room was taken, but there was no outfield crowd to . necessitate a ground rule. The score: . R.H.E. Philadelphia New York .

Chief of Police Brinckerhoff received a letter from a woman living in Ottisville to day which Is regarded as the best clue yet found to the Olney murder. She says her sister passed two, men with a lumber box wagon Friday afternoon. L Their names are Conklin and they lived at Brownsville. There are a num ber of the Conklins in that place. The woman's description of the men fits in with Dan Davis story about two men with a white horse and a box wagon, driving toward the Olney house on the day of the murder. , Officials have gone to Sullivan county to investigate. Mrs. Ingerick's condi tion is unchanged. Chief Brinckerhoff returned to the city today with John and Arthur Conk liu, father and son, who are held as witnesses. They admit going to the Olneys to buy onions, but said they could get no response to their yells. They decided there was no one " at home and bought the onions elsewhere. It was about noon when they found the house deserted, which would indi cate that the murder was committed before that time. Heavy Snow Storm in New York Jamestown, N. Y., Oct. 12.

TOPICS FROM TOKIO Miss Alice Roosevelt Sails for Home oday Quick Run Planned Tokio, Oct 12. The entertainments in honor of the visiting British squad ron were continued today. The British residents rather dreaded the squadron's visit, fearing the discouraged people would be unable to rise to an en thusiastic welcome, but the jolly Japs set Tokio wild with enthusiasm. Japa-. nese and British paraded the streets nand in "Tiand and were everywhere greeted by cheering crowds. Prime Minister Kasura today gave a function in honor of Mr. Harrlman and his party. The staff of the Amer ican legation and a number of officials were present. Miss Alice Roosevelt is making ex tensive exxcursions to places of inter est. This is especially gratifying to the Japanese nation, as it shows that she and other Americans are perfectly safe in traveling wherever they want in Japan. It is well known, howecer, that the members of the Roosevelt party were warned of danger in cer tain places when President Roosevelt's name was intimately connected with the unpopular peace. Miss Roosevelt will sail for home on the steamer Siberia tomorrow. The Harriman party will also sail on the steamer. A record run is plan ned to San Francisco and N&w York. It is expected the trip to San Fran cisco! will be made in thirteen days. Washington-Lee' Defeats Roanoke Lexington, Va., OcjL 12.

GOM'T FACE If DISGRACE Prominent New York Lawyer Leaps to Death NOT READY FOR TRIAL Indicted for Conspiracy and . Grand Larceny Armige Matthews Was to Have Been Tried Yesterday. Prominent Politician and Former Prosecuting Attorney New York, Oct. 12. Rather than face trial on the indictments charging him with fraudulently taking money from the Weissel estate, Armige Mathews, lawyer and secretary of the county Re publican committee, committed suicide today by, jumping from' ; a window in his apartment to a stone-paved court yard. He struck on his head, fractur ing his skull, and died in a short time. Mathews, who was a young man, had advanced rapidly; both in the practice of his profession 1 and in politics. He was a JCriend of former Governor Black and of Abraham Guber, and they were loyal to him in his trouble, acting as legal advisers and doing all they could to aid him to obtain the change of venue from this county for which he appealed. , The jchange of venue was denied yes- terday iand the trial of the case was set for-today before Justice Davids in the criminal branch of the supreme court. Early this morning Mathews received a special delivery letter. -After reading it his housekeeper heard hiin go to -a bath room and open a window. A few seconds later he jumped to his death. Several tenants in a home in the rear of Mathews' apartment saw him jump. A doctor was hurriedly summoned, but he could do nothing for him, and Mathews died in a few minutes. Mathews was indicted las,t May on charges of conspiracy and grand lar ceny, growing out of the looting of the Weissel estate, of which -D.ayid Roths- child, wrecker of the Federal Bank, was administrator. Rothschild, John W .Wooten and Lawyer Amuel I. Ferguson were al! indicted with Mathews on the sam charges. "Rothschild was already serv ing a long term in state's prison foi wrecking the Federal Bank, and Woo ten was convicted in June 'and sen tenced to nine years and five month.!;, in Sing Sing. Wobten jwas kept in th Tombs as a possible important witness against Mathews. Ferguson tvas also expected to be a witness for the pros- , eqution against Mathews, and was tht -local representative of the Bankers' Surety Company of Cleveland, which was on Rothschild's bond for $400,000 as administrator of the "Weissel estate. It was agreed by the four accused men, according to the indictment, that Rothschild was to have sole possession of the estate, and that whatever money he borrowed on it was to be shared by his associates. Mathews at one time was an assi sc ant district attorney. He serve.d three terms as a member of the board of aldermen. Two years ago he was mal.v secretary of the county Republican committee. After Rothschild was convicted and sent to Sing Sing prison he drew up on bits of paper a series of statements, in which he accused Mathews of having a share in the looting of the estate. Eventually the statements reached Dis. trict Attorney Jerome, and ,Rothschil was brought tO'-New York to testify against Mathews. Y TWO MORE PULLED Postofflce Inspectors Capture Green Goods Operators in New York New York, Oct. 12. Two more simple-minded green goods men with $1,534 of real money were gathered in tod by Postofflce Inspector Boyle and IV tectives McConville and Duncan. The operators sent a letter to Cli naull Brothers, general merchants of Mount Hope, Ala., offering to let them have $3,000 for $500. The letter was turned over to Chief Inspector Meyer of the New York postoffice. An er gagement was made for today, and when the operators turned up they were taken to police headquarters andt now await the vengeance of the post offlce department. Billy Goodman, who held the roll, is well known to the pos tal inspectors. Charles Barry, tV e turner, is a new hand. t Snow in Pennsylvania Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 12.
