Agents of the System who last Saturday afternoon persuaded Ashley Shea gambler and gambling collector, to silence yesterday lost their battle whe,n the prosecutor ob tained a full confession. Shea had intended to tell everything he knew last Friday because his wife had urged him to it. When he went to the office of the Dis trict Attorney that day he prom ised he would go before the Grand Jury with his story on Monday. Next day, when the news of his "squeal arrangements was told, the system that is, the Harlem branch of it pulled ev ery wire and exerted every in fluence at its command to head off Shea. "Don't fall for W hitman's ar guments." said one of two men who visited him a man he be lieves to be a policeman "don't let him bluff you into the idea that he has anything on you. Me cnuldn't convict you in a thous and years. Hold out, and you will sec that he can't do a thing.'" Shea, despite the' picas of his wife, decided to revoke his prom ise' to the District Attorney. When the time for his appear ance before the Grand ; Jury came Monday he refused to ful fill his planned part in the pro ceedings. "Yu can't frighten me," he cjeficd Whitman. "Why, you can't even indict me. There is nothing you can prove on me. Kven if you do stick an indict ment -on me I have good friends who will bail me out. Take it from me, I won't spend a single night in jail." "We will see about that." said the District Attorney. The gambler did see, and in less than an hour after he had given his dare. lie stepped be-! hind Captain Thomas W Walsh, Vho had gone into court to plead guilty, to answer to an GENERALS PROMINENT IN MEXICO CITY COUP D'ETAT The nhototrraph at the top shows General Blanquet and his famous "Death's Head" battlenag. General Blanquet and his force of 1,200 men had been fighting in the outskirts of the capital during the early part of the nine-day bat tle, but returned to the National Palace ostensibly to reinforce Huerta's troops. In the centre., wearing a straw hat, is General Heurta, who was in command of the forces at the National Palace when Madero was deposed. Gen eral Huerta is one of the higher class Mexicans and owns valu able ranch property. Hc was born in the state of Chihuahua some fifty-six years ago, and at the age of seventeen entered the military academy at Chapultepec. He has always been loyal to the federal government, and opposed Midero when Porfirio Diaz was president' At the top is shown General Aubert,: and at the bot tom General Castro, who were prominent factors in the Mexico City campaign. indictment for bribery. His counsel stood 'beside him. Louis Friediger, and sought to hav the bail fixed at $soo, or at the most $1,000. The District Attorney demand ed that, the bail be set at $10,000, and it was to this fieure that Justice Goff agreed. Shea went to the Tombs in the expectation that his friends in Harlem would be able to have him bailed !efor supper. System Fails to Rescue. Put $io,cco seemed to be-far in excess of what the System could raise, and Shea spent Monday night in jail. ' 0 AS TO CABINET Regarded as Certain. ' Secretary of State William J lirvan.

There was a meeting at Arch dale last night for the purpose of encouraging the building of a car line to that attractive village. We understand that the people of that entire section are interested in the movement and will give it substantial aid. We would ljke to see the car line extended in that direction, through Archdale and on to Trinity. The meeting last night was very enthusiastic. Dr. Dred Peacock made a speech which was highly appreciated and very much enjoyed. At the close on motion of Dr. Tomlinson, Dr. Peacock and J. J. Farriss were made honorary members of the Archdale Municipal committee. : : o ; Relief from Exorbi tant Rates Victory Due Largely to E. J. Justice He Has Urged the War Since Glenn's Administra tion 8 Years Ago. Raleigh, Feb. 27. The legisla tive committee and the corpora tion commission accepted the proposition of the railroads in the matter of freight rates because the solution proposed will give the North Carolina commercial interests absolute control of all territory in this state. Col. A. P. Thorn, general counselor of the Southern Railway, speaking for his ad the other roads, offer ed to discontinue the shipping of freights 'from western points through Korth Carolina to Vir ginia cities, these shipments be ing routed a different way. The present local rates from Virginia rrfe 10 North Carolina points will be retained, but . the state will get a lower porportion al rate from western cities that is. North Carolina points will pay the saniejproportion that Virginia points pay. This will make it impossible for Virginia jobbers, paying the local rate into North Carolina, .t compete with North Carolina j'jbbers who get thei shipments' proportionately a cheap as d( the jobbers of the old Dominion. The detiils of the agreement are to be vorked out in confer ence. It i: considered a victory for fair rats and will correct the chief cause of agitation. Th corporation commission already has suits bfore the interstate commerce ommission to correct this abuse.but it is hoped the matter willbe decided before the cases woul come to trial.
