es and the Other Was a
Physician Who Dressed
Wounds of Dead Man.

fense and transitory insanity is the
idea of W. ]!. Cole, wealthy cotton
manufacturer who last August 15th
stint and killed \V. W. Ormond, for
merly a suitor for his daughter's
hand.
A. L. Brooks announced the plea of
the defense after the stale rested its
case against Cole at 11.24 o'clock.
Four witnesses had been called.
The state immediately eutered re

State expected to rest its case against
W. B. Cole before noon, the second

mond, started at 0:30 o'clock to
day.
Jeff Honlon. a mill worker, took
the stand as the third witness for
the State. He was an eye witness
to the sliooting.
The witness testified that Ormond
was seated in the automobile when
Cole advanced front the Manufactur
res' building nearby. Ormond's head
rested on the back of the seat-, eyes
clcsed and a cigarette between his
fingers \vhen tlye tirst shot was fired,
he said,
The witness testified tile door of
Ormond's car was closed and that
Ormond was unarmed.
On crass examination John C.
Sykes, for the defense, asked the wit
ness his age and employment. He
is eighteen years old, cannot read or
write, and does not know the month
in which he was born.
Cole was nervous. He moved to
obtain a better view of the witness,
who slouched in the chair.
The Witness said that after the!
third shot was fired Cole walked j
toward the building he had left: un
breached his pistol with a breaking
motion, and entered. He testified he
was within five steps of Cole when
the shooting occurred, and that he
hßd observed the two persons, Frank
Steele and Mrs. W. A. Wentz, who
late yesterday described the shoot
ing.
Dr. C. O. Bristow, physician who
attended Ormond after the shooting,
was called as the next witness. The
defense submitted that lie is an ex
pert.
Ormond was in a critical condition
when Dr. Bristow, who had heard the
shooting, reached the automobile. He
removed Ormond to his office nearby
and administered two hypodermics.
Solicitor Phillips produced a blue
shirt stained with blood, identified by
the witness as having been worn by
the dead man.
The Rev. Mr, Ormond and his two
daughters were in tears.
Three wounds, one on the right
hand, one high on the right shoulder,
and one on the right breast, the lat
ter described as a “direct entrance”
were described by the witness. The
cb#st wound, he believed, caused Or
mond’s death.

TELLS OF GROWTH OF
THE POULTRY INDUSTRY
I I>r. Kaupp Makes Interesting Ad
dress in Chicago.
■ Raleigh, Oct. I.—oP) —“The South
• is one of the most fertile fields and
the most rapidly developing section
of the American continent.” declared'
Dr. R. F. Kauff, head of the poultry
department of State College, in a
recent address delivered before the |
National Poultry Council *ield in Chi
cago.
Dr. Kaupp was on the program to
make a report on poultry progress i
in the South and his paper, covering ;
some five pages of type, was said to
have been one of the most instructive
and valuable papers presented to the
council.
In it Dr. Kaupp recounted the
growth of the poultry business, show
ing how there had been an awaken
ing as to the real value if poultry,
particularly in Nort'ii Carolina, and
gave some facts about the efforts of
farmers to improve their Hocks.
He also told of the success attend
ing the co-operative marketing sales
of poultry during the past spring.
The work done in encouraging hatch
eries where disease free chicks are
produced was given some attention,
too, in Dr. Kaupp’s paper.
“Work in North Carolina has been
along many lines,” lie said, ‘‘but di
rected chiefly along the lines of re-1
seart’a in breeding, nutrition and dis
ease control, with these facts being)
given to the grower that he might |
use them under actual farm condi- 1
tious.
“Three experimental poultry plants |
are maintained in the state, one in |
the mountains, at Swannanoa, a sec
ond in the Piedmont section, at Ral
eigh, and a third in the coastal sec
tion. at Willard. The college also
sends out two extension men to work
with the county home farm agents
before groups of people and to give
practical short courses.
“The college also helps along the j
marketing work bs»ing done in the j
state by V. W. Lewis and his as
sociates in the State division of mar
kets. These efforts are in addition
to the regular poultry courses given;
at the college and leading to de
grees.”

STANDARD OIL AND
INDEPENDENTS AT WAR
j Over a Trade Mark—Standard Says.
Its “Red Crown” is Infringed
Upon.
| Chicago, 111.. Oct. I.—lndependent
I Oil Men and The Standard Oil Co.
'have gone to battle in a new sector;
J a tight over a trade mark. The

j Crown.”
I The story is that the Independ

Ifrom the Atlantic to the Pacific, last
(spring entered application in Wash
ington. I>. (\. for registry of a
.series of trade marks for motor fuel*
and oils. This trade mark consisted
iof a hat something after the order of
the typical four-gallon lid worn by
lTide Sam in popular drawing*.
Under this general design, acoord
ing to color Rheme, registration was
sought covering the names High Hat,
Red Hat, White Hat. Gren Ilai.
Purple Hat and Blue Hat. t ßecently
the Standard of Indiana and the
Standard of Ohio tiled opposition to
the trade mark on the ground that
it conflicts with their own widely ad
vertised Red Crown brand of gaso
line.
Standard contends that “Red Hat”
was chosen deliberately to confuse tlie
public mind. L. V. Nicholas. Presi
dent of the Independent Oil Men of
America, speaking for the Inde
pendents, denies this, saying:
“In selecting this series of trade
marks much time was given ro
chocking design* and names which
might not conbict with any other
brand. The only conflict at all is in
the one word ‘red*, and a color is
not subject to exclusive appropria
tion. We feel sure that the public
can readily distinguish between a hat
and a crown."
t The hearing in the case has been
j set for October 13 before Thomas E.
i Robertson, commissioner of patents,
jin Washington. Owing to the power
ful influences behind both factions
in the tight and the established in
signia at stake it is of wide interest,
to the public.
Botli sides have been and are now
carrying on national advertising
campaigns in newspaper* and maga
zines.
Seeks to Nullify Use of Animal Steel

' 'Washington. Oct. I.— (A 3 ) —The

of the U. S. Biological Survey, are
charged by the newly-organized Anti-
Steel Trap League with adopting an
improper attitude toward the use of
steel traps in the capture of animals.
! The point at issue is the degree of
(■suffering experienced by entrapped an
imals.
• Officials of the league are preparing
i a pamphlet written by Edward Brock,
j writer, lecturer and former naval of
ficer, who is president of the organi
zation. It will contain an appeal for
j general support of the league’s pro
j gram, which covers both the United
States and Uanada. This program
the organization’s officials summarize
as follows :
—“We propose to bring about the
passage of a law by all tlie state and
provincial legislatures making illegal
all use of the torturing steel trap and
other non-killing devices for raking
fur, except by the authorities in the
case of vermin. |
“Propaganda against wearing fur is
helpful of course, but flip above is the
only way to win within a reasonable
period of time, say a few years in
some states and a few more in others.”

NO ONE CANLOSE
IN THIS CAMPAIGN
There Should Be at Least
Twenty Active Workers
In Each One of the Prize
Districts.
The few candidates who are now
striving toward one of the big prizes
in The Tribune and Times campaign
are beginning to display interest rel
ative to the end of the first big vote 1 ,
period which closes at midnight Mon
day, October 10th. and as a result !
a little more life Mas been injected
into t’iie contest. This does not mean. J
however, that a new candidate enter
ing now would he unable to win one
of the big prizes for there is plenty j
of room for any live person who
wants one of the four motor cars or |
his or her share of the thousands of ■
dollars in cash which must be award- |
ed at the end of Pile few weeks. j
Right now. when the campaign is j
just gaining a little momentum, is the i
time for you, who have been hesitat
ing. to step in with a handful of sub- j
script ions to The Tribune or the;
Times and see what they will do for ;
you in the vote columns. Brand new
workers have jumped to the lead of
their districts within a few days, as
you will have noticed if you have
been following the daily announce
ments of the score. You have prob
ably also noticed that there are nine
candidates in district No. 1, six in
No. 2 and but five in No. 2*. There i
should be at least twenty active work
ers in each one of the district work
ing in a determined way for one of
Piie ten big capital prizes.
When you stop to think that no
one can lose, that every one who par
ticipates in this great offer must win.
it is beyond comprehension why so
few are ambitious enough to want to
turn their spare moments into cash—
cash that they would procure in no
other way. All that it takes is, first
of all. the desire to make something
on the side, even as high as .$2,110,
in a few weeks of effort. Those who
awake to what an opportunity this
really is now will have something on
those who realize after it is over
I with and the winners are announced j
that they might as well have had
their share.
Yes, three weeks of time have
elapsed since this generous offer was
announced by The Tribune and Times ]
but in results what has been accom
plished can be duplicated by a few j
determined workers in a few days, j
We put this directly up to you now. |
If you act you will profit by such j
action. There is room for you.
