BAINS PLEADS FOR SON Father of Peter Bains Issues Statement An Amazing Plea For Justice Made by the Old General in Behalf of Son Mho is Behind the Bars Re cites History of Crime. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Sept. 19. An amazing plea for justice was made today by General Peter C. Hains in behalf of his son, Captain Hains, who is In pr'son for killing William E. Annls. The father's plea is in the form of a signed statement, a portion of which Is as follows: . "in September, 1907, ho (Captain Hains) was ordered by the govern ment to transport duty which took him away from his home to the Phil ippine Islands. He was compelled to leave behind him his family, consist ing of a wife and three small chil dren to whom he was devotedly at tached. He returned in May, 1905, and found that while he was absent his home had been destroyed. "Divorce proceedings were insti tuted when on August 13, to his amazement, he himself was falsely charged in a cross bill. Then his reason, already strained almost be yond endurance, gave way and in a state bordering on , insanity, if not wholly demented, he happened1 , to meet the destroyer ef his home and killed him. "He was tried in the latter part of April, 1909, for murder. The Jury stood six for acquittal and six for conviction, but after being out sev eral hours and for reasons best known to themselves, rendered . a compro mise verdict of 'manslaughter. " Sun sequently they all united in a rec ommendation to the Judge for clem ency, v - "That Captain Hains was mental ly unbalanced at the time there can be no doubt. The utter impotency of the law to give him protection under such circumstances (for as a matter of fact, It does not) impelled him to an act for which he is now' suffering. The provocation he had is unprecedented in the annals of crime. '-'Can any one imagine a train of circumstances so calculated to upset a man's reason? The law is intend ed to protect the innocent. But here was a case where human law could afford no protection, r The supposed friend of Captain Hains .had not on:y disgraced his children and destroyed his home, but had caused him to be charged with a crime so revolting that it cannot be spoken of among decent people and is incapable of proof or disproof. The law was Im potent to protect the honor of his officer and he was compelled to do what most men who lose their home and family would do under similar circumstances for the shock would unbalance the strongest of men. "Captain Hains may technical!' have violated the statute law of New York state, but there are many states in this union where he would not have been held for even a technical violation of the law under the pecu liar and unprecedented circum stances. . "Shall such a man, an officer of the army, with a record for probity and honesty equal to the best, be branded as a criminal? Can any one Imagine a provocation more hideous? SHOT ENGINEER HOLT.

He was given to under stand that he was not wanted and withdrew. Mr. Upchurch was very indignant at the treatment he had received from the board. He declared that the members had no right to exclude him from the council. He represents a part of the citizenship of Raleigh and as such a representative ho felt that he had a right to appear in the caucus and be heard in behalf of his constituents. Mr. Upchurch declared that he was a democrat and had al ways voted the democratic ticket and should not be excluded from a democratic caucus.

ND OF CALHOUN SCOOT CARS ATSANFOHD Left Sanford at Today Noon Breakdown Prevents Their Arrival Here Lust Night Sanford Corre spondent Tells of Run From Ral eigh to Sanford Reception Along the Line. The Journal-Herald scout cars fail ed to put in their appearance last night, owing to delays of one sort and another, among which a minor break down figured. A telephone message received by The Evening Times from Mayor J. Stan Wynne at Sanford, conveyed the information that the scout cars and convoy would leave Sanford at noon today and would be in Raleigh at 3 o'clock. A communication from the wide awake correspondent of The Evening Times at Sanford, Mr. W. S. Weather- spoon, tells the story of the arrival of the visitors in Sanford and of thd journey of the reception committee. headed by Mayor Wynne, from Ral eigh to Sanford. Mr. Woatherspoon says: . 'The Raleigh party designated to escort the Herald and Journal auto mobile highway pathfinders from Sanford to Raleigh had a joyous run of it to this place yesterday after noon, leaving Raleigh at' 3 o'clock. There were all sorts of delightful in- idents and one of which had all the merit of novelty. A black snake five feet long came to take charge of the road. But two wheels of the big Franklin automobile went over him and he changed his mind and took to the woods. The Franklin stopped and out got all the party. Mayor Wynne, Editor Josephus Daniel and little son, Worth Bagley, Col. Olds, Will Brewer, the driver, and Charlie Park, the machinist. Everybody got busy snake hunting, and it was found the serpent had not been able to go far. Prof. Park acted as official slaver and a few swats wrth a pole finished the serpent, which was five feet long by rule. Driver Brewer dqgtppt.ikiaBnftkBSAnd bas.no fancy at all for" rabbits which cross the road, and declared that if a single cotton tall did this he would turn back, though he went through Chat ham, splitting the road open. Never a rabbit did the party see. There was a little stop at Apex, another at New Hill and yet another at Merry Oaks and a very picturesque run was made Into Lockville, where there was a stop of an hour, where it was an nounced that Mayor Chisholm, of Sanford, would pilot the Herald-Journal cars from Sanford to Locksville. The Raleigh escort kept in touch with home and with this end of the ine all along the route. The escort was more than pleased as well as sur prised to find the roads in Chatham. so much better than was expected and to observe that with a little thought and work they can be made admirable. The Lee county roads were found to be in the name simply grand. Speeds something like a mile a minute were made on roads in Wake and Lee. In every where peo ple turned out and gave the escorts a gland hand. No end of road litera ture was thrown out, bearing this striking appeal, "We Want Good Road. Do you? We Are Working For them. Are You? It was found that the crops in the region traversed made a very good appearance and in considerable area there had not been too much rain. The party was con vinced that the automobile as a means of seeing country lays any railroad in the shade and Mayor Wynne declared that from hence forth 'He was a Joy rider' and so he is. The same remark applies to the reHt of the Raleigh outfit. Oftimes they went so fast that the Franklin six-cylinder horse-power was so light on Its wheels and Driver Brewer such a monster of the gentle art of driving, that all the party had to do was to shut their eyes and they would swear they were in an airship, and not less than six hundred feet above the ground. In fact in one place the people were told that the machine could travel In the air as well as on the ground, and they believed it. To bco Brewer negotiate these curves was something to dream about. The gospel of good road and gasoline was preached for forty-two miles. The people at the live town of Apex were, all on the spot, and when hustling Sanford was hit nil the world was outdoors. We went through half the town at reduced speed, only forty-five miles per hour, but everybody sat Up and took notice. This is what the party told your correspondent. The Sanford Hotel was headquarters and the party had finished aupper be fore the advanced guard of the scout from the far south came In, thuv be ing the Herald car with Mr, Pelts of Charlotte, this having made the run of forty miles from Plnehnrst. Mr. Leonard Tufts was on this car. The Journal car did . not come in until this morning, having gotten in some trouble at Tramway, seven miles out. Somu repair work bad to he done when the escort and scout left for Raleigh about noon. This party win be joined in route by other cars from Raleigh." BIG CONVENTION BUILDING.

SLUM WORKER KILLED Young Woman Killed by Jealous Chinaman Elsie Sigel Who Had Devoted Her self to Work Among the Chinese Loses Her Life Because of the Jeal ousy of One of Celestials. (By Leased WU to The Times.) New York, June 19. That Elsie C. Sigel, the twenty year old slum missionary who devoted herself to converting Chinese to Christianity, was murdered In a jealous rage by n Chinaman, was the belief expressed today by Mrs. Florence M. Todd, a resident worker in Chinatown. Mrs. Todd had known Elsie Sige!, the grand-daughter of General Franz Sigel since she Was seven years old, and the Chinese suspect, Leon Ling, or William Leon, almost as long. Mrs. Todd, who Is connected with the Res cue Settlement and recreation room for girls, at 10 Mott street, had an intimate knowledge of Elsie's life In Chinatown where , the girl's own mother was an enthusiastic worker. "Elsie and Leon have been thrown together for years," said Mrs. Todd. 'Leon was greatly in love with her. Some time ago he went to Philadel phia, but returned and sought out the girl. He disliked her to revelve attentions from other men, either white or of his own race, and his lealousy had begun to make Elsie afraid of him. "The romance between the pious white girl and the man she sought to save spiritually was the cause of this terrible tragedy, I believe." Two thousand letters from women were found in the Chinaman's room today, r REPORT READY MONDAY. Aldrich Expects to Have Net Income Tax Amendment Ready Monday. (By Leased Wire to The Times.)
