Thanksgiving Day will witness three notable battles, At the Broad Street Park, Richmond, before what Is probably the largest throng that sees an athletic event south of Phll adeihpia, Carolina and Virginia will wage their time honored battle o traditional Intercollegiate Interest and inter-state significance. In the city of Norfolk backed by a' tremendous following from both states, the N. C. A. & M. and V. P. I will meet on LaFayette field in death grapple for coveted supremacy. In a sister city by the sea the Raleigh high school and the Wilmington high school will battle for the state high school championship. ' Both teams go into this decisive battle in the pink of condition, both grimly determined to fight every inch of the way and both hopeful of vie tory. Neither team has been defeated by any high school this season. Wil mington very recently defeated the stocky Donaldson Military School hy the score of 16 to 0. The Wilming ton eleven are hard fighters and get their plays off in lightning fashto.i They hope by a quick execution of plays and bewildering fakes to get the jump on the Raleigh lads and wrap the game up In a net and go home .early. But the Raleigh boys are also early goers., Many of them are choppers of wood, drawers of water, and milk ers of cows in the wee small hours. Raleigh has got the habit Of being oh the job quick and early. Wilming ton will have to go early,; stay late and then go somewhat 'if she experts to get a look-In during next Thurs days battle. - , The record of the Raleigh team Is by Odds the best that any t)lgh school rootbali team has ever made ip this Btate. v Defeated one time by - one score and then by .the vastly heavier Wake Forest scrubs.

RETURN M WORK The Close of a Successfcl Conference at Kicston Members of Xortli Carolina Confer ence rieawd With Apimlntiiic.nts Ten Changes Made llisliop Hoss Kxprrsses His Pleasure at Mectingi With tlie Conference. Today most of the. members of the North Carolna Methodist conference are back at their charges again, ready to take up their 'work ' them again or preparing for tlie change to another field of work. Wherever their lot has fallen they have ggne back to the work renewed and re vived, strengthened by the splendid sessions of the conference they have just attended for a hnrer year's work than ever before. In the opin ion of all this has been one of the pleasantest and rqost harmonious conference In their history. The spirit of unity and brotherly love was strong while the spiritual influence of Bishop Hoss prevailed over the whole' body. ' ( Fewer changes . than usual" were made in the appointments, very few except those necessary on account of the moving of those whose time limit had expired. At the close of the reading of them Monday morn im; at Klnston, there, was a slight wave of applause over the whole church, showing the pleasure of the body When ; the Raleigh district was called, the name of Rev. J. H. Hnli, presiding elder, was read, and follow ing that the names of Rev. II. M. NortU to1 Edenton Street: Rev. A. D, Wilcox, to Central: Rev. C. J. Hnrrll to Enwortu: ,and Rev: R. F. Taylor to Jenkins' Memorial. The Raleigh people present could not re strain a smile of delight, which grew wider as the last name called gave them back for another year all the Methodist preachers of the city, whom they have come td know an. I love and "whom just between them -selves, the Raleigh Methodists thinii the- best In the conference.. They are indeed glad to have them back in the city for another year and in their eharge Methodism will continue to be the great force it has long been In. the city. '' The closing scenes at a conference are always interesting, when the body meets for the last time until another year lias rolled around wita its changes. Tlie reading of the appointments never loses its interest as such vital issues are connected with it. A little business remained to be transacted yesterday morning when the conference met promptly at 8:30 In "tne Queen Street church at Kin s ton, the report of -the commlttoe on education, the report of the s:a- tlstlcal committee and resolutions or thanks to be offered to the people of Klnston for their abounding hos pitality.

Denver, .-Nov.- 28. The closing scenes in the trial ot (lertrudu filb son Patterson, charged with the mur der of her husband, Charles A. Pat terson, which began a week ago, took place today. With the exception of further examination of witnesses for the defense who testified to having seen Patterson strike his wife dur ing a -quarrel .a nd who said Patterson hud threatened her life.l th stale had lin'.slifd its case. - Against Mrs, Patterson's plea of self defense the state has placed the fact that she shot her husband'; In the back aud has had a witness testi fy that after his attention had been attracted by two shots he saw Mrs. Patterson standing over her husband who was on his bands and knees be fore her and that sho fired into his back once more. The defense relied in groat part on the story told by Mis. Patterson regarding her life with the man she shot.

GUILTY OF REBATING Steel Trust Said to Be , Involved St -iiilcy t'oniniitiee Said to Have Kvl ilenee to Show That Steel Tmst Has Keen Obtaining Rebates to the . Ivvtrnt of Millions of IKdlars. Washington. O. C,., Nov. 2S The Stanley ..investigating committee of the. houne if. representa.tives is in posVesoion iif evidence, whhdi has not yet been wade public, that is suffi cient lo convict 1 he steel trust of ol taining Illegal .-'rebates from the rail road.; to the extent of millions of dollars. -; This eviriem o has not become pub- lie for the reason that the ' Stanley ''omiiiitiee. has not had; time to reach, in I'liltlir hearings, thi-v feat lire of -th-s steel .(ruEt's. wrongdoing. But the evi dence has been in the hands of the investigators employed by the Stan ley comniittpc for some time. In some way the steel trust heads learn ed that, this evidence had been un covered by the investigating -commit--tee's agents, and over since their dis covery of this fact, .they, have -.been f ra n i lea 1 1 y trying to bri ug t h e steel probe to n halt. .. -' : All the railroads which carry s'eel trust materials and products from the plants To connecting roads are owned by the trust. Not; an inde pendent line has a spur running into any of the trust's plants. By means of switching charges, and the exact Inn from independent roads of an unfair proportion of freight charges, on the ground that the trust, origi nates the haul, the corporation evades the law. and Obtains millions In rebates. , This Ik the evidence that the steel (rust has set out to suppress. Its first move in thir, direction was made hy Attorney Mndabury, who has represented the'trust at all the heal ings. He suggesied, at thn first meeting of the Stanley committee affer the recess, that inasmuch "as tho government had tiled an 'Cquity suit against the steel corporation, the Stanley committee lacked further jurisdiction. He sought " to prove this by citing the house resolution under which the Stanley ' body was created provided that the committee should inquire" Into offenses "not prosecuted by the government." Chairman Stanley refused to ac cede to this demand of the steel trust attorney, and will carry the question to the, floor of the house un less he Is sustained in his position when a vote is taken by the full membership, of the investigating committee; " ? ;':;":.

The ' : state has passed over the time of fear for the future; the people have won In the battle to make an honest and prosperous living, and are banding' together in civic and commercial bodies for community beauty an8'" success. This is community patriot ism, -. . The" state ' will reach its Ideal' through truth, every patriotic clti- ' zen doing his part to further things of "good report." ".What Is History? Dr. ('.

With- clearness he pictured the -his-'' tories now ; studied In the public schools of the states, pointing out that they were merely a chronolofcl--. cal presentation of a line of guber natorial dignitaries- without giving the student an idea of the progress of the state.
