He said he would ; hardly open his campaign before Oct. ' He said the matter that was concern- ing him most just at present was, the procuring of faster schedules for truck and fish shipments.' He is securing data ' on which to get the Interstate Com merce Commission to investigate the - slowness ef the refrigeratof car service - as given to Eastern Carolina shippers .. of fruit,- truck and fish. He says the the average speed of the so-called fast. . freight trains loaded with strawberries last spring was eight miles an hour. Such schedules, he says, are ruinous to - the growers. ':'' 'hl The berry crop the last season Dr. Faison said,, brought only about half what it brought last year and the de crease in receipts was due in large measure to the delay in getting the fruit to market. The train schedules,' he explained, were no better , last ; year, - ,but last year the berries ripened in a very dry season andykept better in .transit than they, did this year .when the crop was gathered in. a wet seasom, Dr. Faison inquired of friends as to the headway that the new Progressive party was making in Craven,4 He added that he thought it hardly necessary lor r4he Democrats to turn their usual fire . in this campaign on the Republicans - for satonerThe ButtMouse-swmrw . be according, them the same sort of -"treatment that we Used to hand them.

THE MOTIVE PATRIOTIC These Newspapers Believe It Best That Wilson Be . Elected. New York, Sept. 17. The Buffalo Evening Times says: "The San Fran cisco Call, one of the leading Repub lican newspapers of the Pacific Coast, as well as one of the most influential papers 1n the country, is weary of the dissension, bickering and open rupture within the Republican party," and editorially is urging its readers to vote for Woodrow Wilson. "The Call has not been the only pa per to switch since the nomination of the Democratic candidate, but it is probably the most significant change of policy of any of them. " "More and more to the - best-think ing people in the country is the candi dacy of Woodrow Wilson assuming the : ideal. Each day it . becomes more evident that in the New Jersey executive Democracy made no mistake. From every side come re ports of the espousal of the Democratic cause on the. part ot those hitherto antagonistic of the aspect. His achievements' in public office, his personality, his policies and his plans are compelling admiration and attracting allegiance. : Election day will find a strong percentage of the Republican vote ranged on the Dem ocratic side.

Sidna Allen, leader of the 'Allen clan, which shot up 'Carrot county. Court House at HiUsville, Va., March 14th, killing Judge Massey and others, and ,1iis nephew, Wesley Edwards, tonight are manacled in cells at ;the city jail as a result of love affairs which led detec tives to them. Both men arc en route to Virginia in custody of detectives. Edwards for the love of ..-whom Miss Maude Iroler." of Mpurit Airy, N.; C, had innocently, led detective to Des Moines, was captured as heas return ing to his boarding house, after having worked all day with a paving gang. Just as he boarded a street car dctect- tives and officers surrounded it. Ed wards was trying to escape by crawling through the front end of the car when officers caught him. The arrest of Sidna Allen was effected earlier in the day. ' . r ' A yisit by Edwards to Miss Iroler in her North Carolina home about a month ago, and the accidental loss of a letter put the detectives on the trail. The fugitives had been in Des Moines since'April 28th. Allen ,underthe name of Tom Sayre, worked as a carpenter and Edwards, under the name of J or Jackson, was employed with a city pav ing gang. Allen was arrested at the home of John Cameron ,at 11th and Locust atrcets, where he and his nephew had been rooming, by Detectives Baldwin, Lucas and Mundy, of Roanoke, Va. The arrest accured a few minutes after Miss Iroler stepped into the Cameron home to meet Edwards, whom she was to wed tonight, according to an arrange ment made when he visited her in North Carolina. Detective Lucas was at her heels. Al.len was in an upper room. When informed that visitors wanted to see him, he came downstairs. As he did PrttlMc;i&-enveTe(Uuniwith a revolver and aked him to surrender. Allen hesitated and threw up his hands, remarking as he did so: " j .- "I guess I'm your man." Allen was handcuffed and placed under a guard of city detectives, while Col. Baldwin and Chief Jinny, "of the local depart ment, went in search of Edwards, who was said to b at work in the western part of the city..' Apparently. Ed wards he.trd that his uncle hadbeen captured because he was not 4o be found until tonight.'.; ,, .-V .' .. Miss Iroler arrived in Des Moines this morning unaware that on the same train were detectives who wanted her sweetheart. She went straight to the Cameron home, having" previously been provided with the address and these officers followed, Although surprised ,she took the ar rest of Allen and Edwards with little show of concern. . . ''Wesley was down home a month ago", she said-.; "We were to be mar ried. He gave me the money p come to this city and this address. I had no idea that anyone was following me."

He -and, Ed- warus remained in me mountain tvuuirjr of Virginia and North Carolina for about a month and then got over into Ken tucky, going to Louisville where they spent several days. Their next stop was in St. Louis, where they remained a week. : They had sufficient money lor their needs and traveled as first-class passengers. "I don't know why we came to Des Moines' said Allen, "unless it was that I thought we wOuld be safer here. Sev eral years ago I was in the Klondike and I figured that the officers would think I had gone back there. So we came to Des Moines ,and I got work as a carpenter and expected to remain here until It was safe to go back home. "I would have given myself up long go if I had thought we could get a square deal. Look what they have done to Floyd, my brother and Claude." ' Allen declared the Court House tra gedy wai the' fault of the officers who, he said, began the shooting. "We heard a few days before Floyd's trial began . that Sheriff Webb had bought a hundred rounds of cartridges and had made the remark that he was going to show that Allen gang 'real court but- we did not expect trouble that day, -and there would not have been any if the officers had not begun it.

DENOUNCES VICE Galls Attention to Recent Grimes Against Girls of That City, MINISTERS AROUSED. A Dozen Congregations Lis ten to Terrific Arraign ments.' Richmond, Sept. 16. Arroused by recent disclosures of crimes against young girls in this city, ministers yester day denounce:! from their pulpits in no uncertain terms the shortcomings of a civilization, and in particular the so called weakness of a local police system, which permits itself to wallow in a mire of social decay and shuts its eyes to a reign iof immorality which is striking at the HfeXf the city ahd nation. A dozen congregations listened with ; quickening conscience to -the arraign- mcnt of the agencies in modern life which loosen morals, wrecks homes, and spreads contagion to be transmitted to unborn generations. The yellow press with its magnification of crime and its sordid news stories, the deca dent stage with its portrayal of loose morals the suggestive modern novel with its sensuous depiction of glossed ovcr vice atl came in for a share of the pulpits' ire.

To the more potent evils just named, Mr. Wells added the insidious influence of present day fashions in dress. A reform of feminine dress along sane lines, he said, is imperative to moral welfare.On this point the preacher said: "It is by no means a matter of small importance that there should be a re men to the dictates of fashion is play- ing a part, and no small part, in the spread of immorality." j Among other ministers who preached sermons on the same general topic yes- terday were: I Rev;' David Francis, at the Third Christian; Rev.
