VOL. XIII. J B. SHERRILL, Editor and Publisher CONCORD, N. C, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1914 40 Cents Month 8 Ccnta a Copy. NO, 606 GREATEST BASEBALL SHOW ON EARTH WILL OPEN TODAY FOB 191 SEASON. THE To Be a Three-Ring Affair This Sea son, The radaral League a Huskr Infant American and National Leagues Say Faderal Will Ba Only Sida Show. Federals' Will Open Their First Seaaoi Today. Xew York, April 13. "Score cards!" "Peanuts, five a bag!" "Oct tlie correct batting order!' "Cigars, cigarettes and chewing; gum!" Tbe old familiar spiels will be beard again in the major league cities when the "greatest baseball show on earth'' opens this week for the sea son of 1914. The big show is to be a three-ring affair this season, if the confident pre dictions made by the Federal league promoters are fulfilled. The Ameri can and National league magnates in timate their belief that it will be the same old two-ring exhibition with a side show na an added attraction. ' The baseball public seems inclined to credit the Federal league with possessing- big league qualifications. The new organization certainly has show n itself to be a husky infant and the way it has trundled over major league territory and tagged the major league players has rather caught the fancy of the fans. With an utter disregard for the very elements of superstitition the Federals opened their first season to day, the 13th day of the month. The curtain rising stunt was staged at Baltimore, where the Buffalo team lined up against Ootto Knabe's Ter rapins. A day or two later the other teams of the new league will get un der way. In the Federal league there is no dope in the way of past performances on which to base a prediction as to the outcome of the pennant race. Con sequently all shcIj predictions and forecasts could be little better than guesswork. A slant at the Johnson and Toner combinations is sufficient to start the calculating machines a-rattling. To begin with, nine out of every ten -f Hie fans" probably pick the Athletics lo run away with the American league flag and tbe Giants as the winners in the National league race. There is no denying that so far as the At li lt tics are concerned tbe doe looks good, although the Washington team,! with the great Walter Johnson doing the bulk of the twirling, may upset the beans. The chances for the Giants to romp in a winner this year are considerably lessened by Shafer being out of the game. The Pittsburgh Pirates are generally picked to give tha Giunts - a hard tussle for the .rag, With Kon "ctchy, the former Cardinal star, at first, Vioz at second, the wonderful Wagner at short and Mowrey at third tbe Pirates .appear to have a combi nation that will make the Giants step some from the first tap of tbe bell.

Mr. Kditnr: I have read in The 1 runt ne in April me ilh that our county commissioners had borrow ui from C. A. Webb & Co., of Ashcviiic. the sum of 10,000, at "i per cent., tu be paid at the rate of 2,000 bcuin iiing the first of April, 1916 to 1U;!9. and $4,000 from 1!40 to 1947. It i a question in my mind whether this is in the interest of the taxpayers of the county, ami whether, it is in ac eordance with the wishes of a majorif ty of the people of the county. This scribe does not believe that if this question had been left to the voters of Caltarnis county that they would have voted for this loan. Only a few years ago the legislature pass ed an act to allow our commissioners to issue bonds for our entire indebt edness, and it was found that our debt at that time was $105,000. There was much comment about this debt, and was used to some xtent in poli ties. Now, let us look a little furth er. Last ovenihcr our register ot deeds, in making bis annual report, set forth the fact that our debt at that time was lb"J,000. Add $00,000 ti- this and we have an indebtedness of .? 000. It must be this amount. if there has been no other debts con-,on tracted since last November. Now, let us notice what kind of a load is hcinir nut on th tnvnivers of our county. A wise teamster will not,dnns. wll l'v" their sacred city so overload his team. If he does he may stall. So 1 think it wise for us to take notice of tbe weight of our load. Well, here we have it. l.'ememlier our first payment of 42,000 is April 1910, two years from this date. So in our payment we will have to pay interest for two years. This will be $0,000. Now add $2,000 principal, and we will pay Webb & Co. $8,000 in 1910, and we will yet owe them $58,000. Now let us compute the interest on the $162, 000 at 5 per cent, whic n will be $8,100. Now add this to tbe Webb payment and we see we will have to pay in 191(5 $16,100. Notice, $14,000 interest and $2,000 principal. Mr. Taxpayer, do you not think that'we are loaded ? Well, sonic one will say this scribe is an old fogy. Maybe so, but before another score of years shall pass, many will say "old fogy" did not give the danger signal any too soon. This scribe is just trying to com pute the weight of the load that is being put on the Cabarrus wagon, and whether the waon would hold the strain, or whether the team could : pull the load. 1 certainly hope ti'cUpparel and the mantles and the wini bld wagon will not break down, for ' )les anil t)lc t.riSpjI1!r pins. Isa., iii, that would cost additional expense, on.oo and I do hope the team will not balk for a balky team is very troublesome. The greatest danger, as I see it, is that we might overload. Will our county fathers please have some one to compute just what is the weight of the load at this time. Are we not go ing down a steep grade f P. F. WIDENHOUSE. A DAY OB TWO OF BAIN.

KOTO'S LECTU&E. Dalimad Taatarday at Baptist and Central tha Fir Methodist Churches. Kev. )r. A. L. King, a member of the Iowa conference of the M. E. (liurrh, has been in Concord the past week delivering bis lecture on Palestine, covering particularly the ancient and interesting city of J era salem. Dr. King delivered hit lec ture at the First Baptist Church yes terday morning and at Central Metho dist Church last night. Dr. King had before him a iniip of tlie city ot Jerusalem and its envir onments. He is thoroughly familiar with the city, and bis talk was exceed ingiy interesting. .Many in Ins au dience got from what he said a very different idea of the Holy City .from that which they bad hitherto enter tained. One-statement that will be a surprise to most licople is that Jerusa lem covers less area than the citv of Concord, having only 210 acres of land within its walls. The fact, how ever, that it has a population of over 00,000 shows the congestion of tin' population. Dr. King depicted the nomine condition ot the large ma jority of the people of the city, who are very poor, especially the women and children, who perform all the menial tasks. From Dr. King's de scription of the city, no heathen land tl,e -r,0,,e ntels '"' the enlight ening influences ot the Christ than the land that gave him birth. .Tern salem is controlled bv the Mohamme apart, llic (ireek ( atholics and the Roman Catholics have a religion which is as foreign to the uplifting n-Iigion of Christ, ncording to Dr. King, as could he imagined. Dr. King was exceedingly inter esting and held the atttention of his audiences throughout.

Y, April J3. The four gunmen convicted of the murder of Gambler Herman Rosenthal were ex ecuted in Sing Sing prison early to day. It was just thirty-nine minutes from the time tbe Shock was civen until "Dago FiankM (Ciroficio) who was first to die until "Lefty Louie" (Kosenuurg) the last. of the four was pronounced dead. " Whitey Lewis" (Jacob Scidensh. ner) was the only one to make a state ment in the death house and none made a confession. Seidcushner de clared that the witnesses against him perjured themselves and said he was uot guilty. He was tbe second execu ted. "Gyp the blood" (Harry Hor- witz) who was third, went to his death terror stricken, apparently on the I verge ot collapse. "Dago Frank" went to the chair with a piece of 'host," bread typifying the body of Christ in his mouth. He held the cru cifix in each hand and did not .make i sound as he was -strapped in the hair. "Lefty Louie!' was the hard est to kill. The preceeding three had been given two shocks, hut four were necessary before Rosenburg was pro nounced dead. ;- I One of the few siiectacular features of the execution was wovided by Rosenberg in the death house. Each if the gunmen on leaving the cell ailed out "good-bye" to his fellows and each shook hands 4rir)i- Bead- keeper Mctnten and Warden Clancy, Rosenberg, however, broke down as he, passed the warden oh his wav in th chair, threw his arms about Clancy lpale and a trifle nervous, but with a and kissed him on the cheek.

When she arrived be-1 fore dawn two keepers were needed to support the aged woman from the Meredith, head of the "house of mys warden's carriage into the building, tery" and Lucy Dorr, head nurse, The belief that the gunmen were sure-1 held in the county jail charged with ly guilty was bred by Seidensbner 's statement, and more perhaps by the manner if its delivery, was intensi fied before the executions by Father Cashin, the priest attending "Dago Frank." When asked if he thought 'Dago Frank" was guilty the priest replied : I can t say that, hut if you knew what is here," touching his forehead, 'you would have some news. The murder ot Herman Kosenthal, tuo gamoier wuo, --snueaiea. , prou- ,i l tl 1A ! 1. ablv was the most cold blooded in It3 conception and the most carelessly and contemptously carried out of any in all the sordid and sensational crim inal history of Oreather New York. Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, leader of New York's "strong arm squad," was convicted, previous to the gunmen, of first degree murder, as instigator of the crime, and sen tence! to death. For over a year ije sat in his cell on the "life side" pf the "little green door" which leads to the dread cjiair and the beyond. Then he was granted new trial by the Court of Appeals on technical grounds. He is now in the Tombs.. Besides the five convictions nen- tioned, four police inspectors, one po lice captain, a police sergeant and several patrolmen, were sent to the penitentiary, following investigations of graft conditions revealed at tnc murder trials. Dennis Sweeney, John J. Murtha. James E. Hussey, and James F. Thompson, all poliee inspec tors, were convioted of grafting ana served a year at Blackwell's. ; Three davs before their terms were tip, Mur tha 's conviction was reversed oy tno Appellate Division, which upheld the convictiofi of the others. ; , 1 - . ' The Case of the Four Gtuunra. " July 16. 1912 Herman Rosenthal, a well known New York gambler, was shot to .death in front of the Hotel Metropole at 2 a. m., by four men who had arrived at the hotel shortly before in an automobile. i July 2-9, 1912 Following the cap ture of the four gunmen, Pence Lieu. tenant Charles Becker toested and charged with the murder. Beck er's arrest and subsequent conviction was based on the theory that tae,had been a silent partner of Rosenthal in a gamblig house, bad exhorted money from Rosenthal, and, finally, had in stigated the murder when Rosenthal was to appear before the grand jury to tell what -he knew of the polico frafki The four gunmen arrested and ac- oiiudd of tha actual nnrdr warn , -1... tt , ,1 hi r-raim ironci, c 'uago franc,"; who bad reputation as a Esuirr,,,,i"1f "t!

November 8, 1912 The four guu men were placed on trial before Jus tice Goff. The trial lasted ten days and resulted in the conviction of all four and their sentence to death. Their conviction and also that of Lt. Becker resulted largely from the tes timony of the three informers, Jack Rose, Harry Vallon and "Bridgey" Webber, who gave evidence that they had been engaged by Becker to hire tbe four gunmen to kill Rosenthal. February 24, 1914 The Court ot Appeals affirmed the conviction of the four gunmen. At the same time the court reversed the sentence in thi Becker case on the ground that Jus tice Goff had erred in many of his rulings in Becker's trial and had ap peered, to be predujudieed in his at tute toward the defendant.

Governor Glynn Was Immovable and Final Appeal Failed. Albany, N. Y., April 12. The last faint glimmer of hope that a reprieve might be .granted the four New York gunmen" passed today. In the ex ecutive chamber of the deserted state capital Governor Glynn heard the final appeals of two attorneys for the con victed slayers, C. F. G. Wable and H. L. Kringle, for a stay of the death sentence, and then again and for the last time refused to interfere with the executions. For two hours the attorneys plead- jed.

Fresh from winter quarters in Sal isbury Sparks gave two exhibitions in Concord Saturday, one in the after noon and one in the evening. Hun dreds of people attended tbe show, the exhibtions being given in the big tent located on South Spring street The show made a good appearance, the equipment has a fresh apearance which is s-eldom carried by circus things, the costumes were appropriate and clever and the feats spectacular. The horseback riders kept the audi ence on the tip toe of excitement and the acrobatic feats were classy. There were a number of features but the one that caught the crowd was the exhibition given by the trained seals, the sea animals doing stunts from plaving a hand to catching a base ball. Sparks' show won the approval of its audiences here and is conspicuous by the absence of objectionable fea tures. Wanted To buv about 100 bushels of Cook's Proline cotton seed. M. L.
