"About September last year he

; where he paid my expenses. Finally
he came to me and told me that he
had $2,400 for me, all the money, he
said, which was coming to me after

"I was Ignorant, needed money' and
accepted the sum. I later learned
that Mrs. Dun tfave $15,000 to settle
the matter."
She then told how she loaned him
all the money she had and how he
left her, then when she pressed him
for settlement sh says she was hound

warned her If she did not let McNlece
alone she would be arrested for black

and began suit.
William U. McNlece made a general
denial of the facts. Ha was violent
In his denunciation of Mrs. Cameron

"I am a respectable, married man

XEfiROKS ORGANIZE
AGAINST TAFT.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington, Sept 20. Operating
from Washington, some nerfroes have
formed an organization which has for
n
Its avowed purpose the defeating of
the presidential candidacy of Secre
tary of War Taf t and of wrestling
party control from, the Roosevelt ele
ment at the next republican national
convention.
Treatment of the colored soldiers by
the present administration is the issue.
W. Calvin Chase, a negro attorney and
editor of the Bee is the leader of this
movement.
"The time has come for the negro
to assert his power In politics, and to
that end an organized endeaVor has
begun, such as has never been under
taken in this country before," said he
in a statement today. "Appointment
of negroes to federal positions- by
President Roosevelt will have no ef
fect on the result. Senator Foraker
has shown himself to be our friend,
and the negroes owe It to themselves
to assist the senator In every way, and
to effect a rebuke of President Roose
velt and Secretary Taft."
Chase stated that If the convention
did not harken to the cry of the ne
gro, the Bee will Hock to the demo
cratic patty and carry the organiz
ed vote of the race with It. In Penn
sylvania they are-,to support Knox,
in Ohio they will support Tom John
son and vlgorSusly fight Taft and Bur
ton; In Indiana they are for Fair
banks, in Illinois for Cannon, and In
Missouri they will attempt to defeat
Senator Warner's efforts to swing the
delegation for Taft.

x ' The first symptom of Contagious Blood Poison is usually a little sore or
ulcer which does not Always excite suspicion because of its insignificance;
but as the poison becomes more firmly rooted in the blood, the mouth and
throat ulcerate, copper-colored spots appear, avrash breaks out on the body,
the hair begins to come out, glands ia the necK and groins swell, and often
ulcerating sores form ou the limbs, bands or face. But this is not all : if
the poison is allowed .to remain it works down and attacks the bones, causing
necrosis or decay, and makes a complete physical wreck of the sufferer. It
will not do to tamper with a disease so powerful as Contagious Blood Poison,
for every day the virus remains in the blood the trouble is progressing
toward a more dangerous stage, and may in the end get beyond the reach of
any treatment. There is but one certain, reliable cure for Contagious Blood
Poison, and that is S. 3- S., the greatest of ull blood purifiers. This remedy
attacks the disease in the ritrht wav bv troimr down into the blood and

Strengthens the dilKTcnt parts of the body, tones up the system and cures
this humiliating and destructive disorder permanently. The improvement
commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of S. S. S. and
continues until every vestijje of the poison is driven from the blood, and the
sufferer completely restored to health. S. S. S. is not an experiment, it hi a
success and has cured thousands of cases of Contagious Blood Poison in
every sta ;e, ami being eutircly free from minerals, is a safe as well as certain

BOTH CASES APPEALED
Women Convicted. Vnder Tiiivr Passed
by Iiiist Legislature Making Hen
eriil Reputation of House Admis
sible as Kvidenee Two Women
Were Released Other Cases to
be. Tried.
Four women from the red light dis
trict faced Police Justice Badger this
morning. Two were convicted of
keeping a house of ill repute and the
others were released, the evidence not
being sufficient even from general rep
utation of houses to hold them.' There
are two ol her cases yet to be tried,
one having been continued on" account
of an Important witness for the state
mid the' other', woman sent the certifi
cate of a physician, saying she was
too sick to attend.
First case tried was Mildred Stew
art and the evidence was practically
th-.? same as that given in the cases
tried last Tuesday that she lived In.
east Raleigh and that the house had
the reputation of being a bawdy
house. She was fined $100 and her at
torney at once gave notice of appeal.
Her bond was fixed at $125. which
promptly gave and left the court room.
May Shcpard was more fortunate
than her companion of the red light
district. The house she occupied had
the reputation of having been a house
of II! fame in the past but this wo
man had been there only a Bhort time
and no one was willing to swear It
had such a reputation since she had
occupied it, and It was shown that
only one other woman was In the
house with her. When Justice Bad
ger said : "The judgment of the court
Is that you are not guilty," the wo
man, with a countenani that showed

she was very much relieved, hasten
cd from the court room.
The order today was "guilty" and
next : "not guilty," for the next wo
man to face his honor occupied a
house that had a wqrse reputation
than May Shepard and she was fined
$100. This case was also appealedi and
her bond placed at $125. They all were
ready for any emergency and had the
"sh.
The women did not seem to have
much sympathy for their companions,
or as they gave bond they left the
court room and when the case against
Myrtle Hill was reached she was the
only woman present. She was very
fortunute though, for there was no
evidence to show the house had bore
a bad reputation Binee she had occu
pied It and the case was dismissed.
Bertha Brown has managed to get
her case continued twice and City At
torney Snow asked that an officer be
sent after her,' and If she was too un
well to attend let it be Bhowh by the
proper certificate. Unless the Brown
woman -..responds., to the summons of
the police Justice or sends in the
proper certificate she will probably
forfeit her bond.
A case against Maggie Flck, who is
charged with selling whiskey without
license, was continued and will be
tried October 10th.
It the women are not required to
get out of the houses, and the Judg
ment of the lower court holds when
it gets Into the higher courts the own
ers of the property and real estate men
who rent the houses will probably be
Indicted for renting houses for such
purposes, as it is against the law.

Chapel Hill, N. C. Sept. 20.Tho
(Special to The Evening Times.)
following resolutions have been
drawn up to the memory of Captain
Romy Story, whose death so sad
dened all at the University;
. Into the hopes and plans for this
new year of our University life comes
the sad message that Romy Story Is
dead. To us this is an Irreparable
loss, for he was a man In the broad
est sense, unselfish, speaking evil of
no one and thinking no evil himself.
In all of his efforts he was earnest,
loyal, and fair.
We admired him for his manli
ness, respected him for his kindness,
loved him for himself. Therefore,
be It resolved by the students of the
University of North Carolina, In body
assembled:
First, That wo miss Romy Story;
a place Is vacant whlcn none can
fill; that we have a grief In our hearts
(hat years cannot efface.
Second, That we mourn with his
family over our mutual loss.
Third, That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to his family, to the
Watauga News, to the Tar Heel, nnd
to the state papers, and that a copy
bo written In the minutes of the Ath
letic Association of the University of
North Carolina.

Special Precautions Taken
in Rome Today
AT THE VATICAN
Thirtieth Anniversary Celebration
of Entry of Italian Army Into
Rome May Bring Bloodshed-
Troops Surround Buildings and
Angry Crowd Today Driven Off.
(Special Cable to The Times.)
Rome, Sept. 20. Special precautions
have been taken by the authorities
to prevent riot and disorder today on
account of the celebration of the thir
tieth anniversary of the entry of the
Italian, army Into Rome, Fearing a
possible attack on the Vatican by
mobs, the buildings have been sur
rounded by troops heavily armed, The
police have received word that threats
have been made to sack 'the Vatican
and so every precaution has been
taken to check any outbreak.
Early '.this morning, before the ar
rival of the troops the Vatican was
surrounded by crowds. The people
were- at once made to fall back, which
-y did under angry protests.
In Rome and in many of the larger
Italian cities fear that there may be
anti-clerical riots, of which there
have recently been a great number.
During the celebration excitement it
is expected that the anti-clericals will
attempt to inflame the people, and so
orders have been given to watch the
crowds closely and to check at once
any attempt at rioting.
MAY HAVE ANOTHER
PEACE CONFERENCE.
., (By Leased Wire to The Times.)
The Hague, Sept. 20. From the
present outlook, the peace conference
will adjoudn sine die October 5th. On
tomorrow a plenary session will be
held to consider a resolution adopted
by the heads of the various delega
tions In Tegard to the convening of
future conferences. The resolution,
in part, is as follows:
The conference recommends to the
powers the convocation of a third
conference within a period similar
to that which elapsed between the
former conferences, leaving the exact
date to be fixed in common accord by
the powers. The conference calls the
attention of the powers to the neces
sity of having the work of the. con
ference prepared a sufficient time be
fore the meeting so that its delibera
tions may be taken with indispensa
ble outhority and rapidity.
Although the American plan for
the formation of a permanent court
has failed it is hoped by the time that
the next conference Is held, the sen
timent, fostered among the delegates
may prove strong enough to induce
them to agree to the organization of
a permanent tribunal of some kind
based on the American plan.
