JUST WHAT HE WAS EXPECTING Developments Simply What Foresaw When He Made Famous Speech He Washington, June S. With the first suggestion from the Department of Justice as to the nature of its "trust busting" program, Wall street makes a show of fright and at once depresses the market. This is the burden of the news re ceived in Washington following the announce ment from Attorney-General Mc Reynolds that he is dissatisfied with the decree in the American Tobacco Company dlssdution case and that he means also to look into the effect of the decree in the Standard Oil cioe. And this is just exactly what the President has anticipated all a'ong. Such a situation was in his mind when he made his famous Hainan's g tlows spdech in New York before the inaug uration and the same thing pas fore seen by him when he wrote the Tillman letter insisting that currency legislation should be passed at once to meet any emergency that might arise. The truth is there was nothing par ticularly radical about the program of the Department of Justice. Yet these are the things that have apparently agitated the market and so vastly disturbed Wall street. Coup led to these announcement-., of course, was the action of the President in hold ing out that live stock and wheat should go on the free list. This determination on the part of Mr. Wilson is cited as another cause of the depression in the stock exchanges. . In taking his stand the President let it be known to the Senate Finance Committee that he was opposed to any backtracking in the matter of the market basket. The committee wanted to put wheat, flour and packing-house products on the dutiable list to make the Underwood bill consistent in this mattci, hut the President thought can sistenry could better be promoted by taking the tariff off cattle and wheat. The market Hurry has, in any event, borne out the Administration's view that emergency currency legislation should be enacted before this session of Congress adjourns. There mav be no need for it after all, but the Pres ident's idea is that the party should play safe by being prepared, if a serious financial situation should develop. Washington does not seem partic ularly alarmed over the' market de pression in New York. Such a condi tion seems to be taken as u mutter of course in most quarters. There are a few thoughtful party leaders, however, who are more inclined than they have heretofore been to agree with the White House in its contention for financial legislation here and now. IS IN JAIL M D. WILEY IS CHARGED WITH GIVING CARTERET MAN A BOGUS CHECK. M. D. Wiley, a commission merchant whose home is in Pamlico county and who has been engaged in the commis sion business, travelling over the East ern part of North Carolina, was theci under arrest yesterday at Columbia, N.

ARE BEING 1 IRE INCENSED AT ACTION OF KEITH I NORTH CAROLINA CONGRESS MAN CLAIM HE EXCEEDED HIS AUTHORITY. The Washington correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer sends that paper , the following which is of interest lo.ally: "Senator Simmons and Rcprascnta tives Small, Faison and Goodwin of North Carolina are deeply incensed over the action of B. F. Keith, c ol lector of the port at Wflmiiigfon, in recommending deputy collectors of the ports in North Carolina to the treasury department without having consulted the North Carolina delega tion. "While it is c rtain that his recom mendations will not be acted on un less they arc satisfactory to the Dem ocrats of the State, Keith's disre gard for the wishes of the delegation may mean his dismissal as .collector before his term is out, in February, 1915. "Keith recommended names of peo ple at four ports of entry irf the State, name! Elizabeth City, New Bern, Beaufort and Wilmington. The fifth port, Manteo, he recommended abol ished. Secretary McAdoo has already told Mr. Small that this port will not be abolished. "Keith's recommendation of Miss Bruce Davis at Elizabeth City is sat isfactory to the Democrats. The others, however, are not satisfactory. Keith has been a member of about all the political parties there arc, beginning with the Democratic, then the Populists, the Republicans and Bull Moose. "If Congress carries out the .sug gestions of Secretary McAdoo, made today, the organization of the customs service will not be made until Jan uary 1, 1911." T Stockholders Ratify Increase of Capital From IS 75 Millions. To ACTION IS VERY REM AR -ABLE Indicates That Corporation Has No Fear Of Action To Us Taken By McReynolds. New York, June 6. A $60,000,000 melon will be cut by the Standard Oil Company of New York next week when its capital stock will be increased from $15,000,000 to 175,000,000 The stockholders have ratfied the proposal. This action was considered remark able, in view of the demoralized con dition ot the stock market anil the threat of the Government to reopen the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust cases. The cutting of a melon that ranks larger than in many month hows the corporation's utter lack of fear for the future, and it confi dunce that it will be able to make a strong de'ense against any action that Attorney-General McReynolds may take against it. Each stockholder of record wi get a bonus of 400 per cent of his holdinrs The directors will order the disttibution of the new sto.-.k in tht form of a dividend on June 13. The heavy increase in rapitaliza tjon is in line, with the action of other StanJard Oil conccrm in other States since the dis:o ution of the trust 18 month ago. Up to date there have been seven bg stock distributions and innumer able smaller ones among the companies that once composed Standard Oil. Among the larger have been: Standard Oil Company of Indiana Capital stock increased from $1,- 000,000 to $30,000,000, with a slock dividend of 2,900 per cent.

JUDGES, HOWEVER HAD SEEN T. B. Kelloe Is Again Elected Secretary-Treasurer Of State Association. (Special to the Journal) Wilmington, June 6 Evidently miff ed because she could not smile at each one of the several hundred good look ing men in the Elks parade this morn ing, the Goddess of Weather became rial peeved. She then decided to in terfere with what promised to be one of the prttti st and most impressive parades ever given in Wilmington. Therefore after the procession had traversed only six or eight blocks, the fickle feminine conu oiling the weather ordered rain. Did the rain come? Well, for the answei, please interview any one of several hundred disappointed Elks who had garbed themselves in their best bib and tucker. They, as well as hundreds of men, women and child ren along the line of march will tell you in most emphatic terms that it rained and then "some," to the ex tent that the parade had to be aban doned, much to the disappointment of every one. The parade had moved from the city hall, up Third street, down Red Cross street to Front street, and along Front to Princess street, when the rain started. At first it appeared as if only a temporary shower had come and that the parade might be contin ued. Within a few seconds however perfect down-pour came, followed with intermittent showers. It was then realized that it would ic clearly impossible to continue the parade. The mounted marshals rode rapidly up and down the line telling the different organizations to dis band and to seek shelter. The aban- lonmentof the parade was a great disappointment. However there was nothing else to do under the unfavor able weather conditions. The parade was teviewed by the committee of judges, as it passed the Elks' Temple on Front Street. The committee was composed ot Messrs. Marsdcn Bellamy of Wilmington, Joe Tavlor of Washington, and G. D Daughtridge of Rocky Mount. It was decided to award the New Bern Lodge the State Association cup for the greatest number in line, com bined with best appearance. The New Bern men, about fifty to sixty strong, made a nifty appearance, clad in bice coats, and white trousers and with .white straw hats, and purple hands. The cup which the lodge won was offered by them last year. At that time it was won by Wilmington Lodge. A lodge must win the cup three times before it becomes a per manent possession. Another cup offered by Wilmington Lodge for best appearance went the to the delegation trom Kalcigh; a third cup, offered to the lodge show ing the greatest amount of mileage, was won by New B"rn. Th" N w Bern men came over on a special train, which was in charge of Captain W. II. Newell, Jr., an ar dent Elk. The enginerr and fireman on the train are also members of the Elks. The annual convention of the North Carolina Association is now a thing ol the past and many of the delegates returned home tonight. Fololwing the parade this morning the Elks were serve I lunch at the Elks' Temple and at 2:30 o'clock the last business meeting of the convention was held. At this meeting, the following officers were elected: P. A. Gorrell of Winston Salem, President; J. F. Farrcll of Ra leigh, Vice-President, and T. B. Kehoe of New Bern was re-elected Secretary and Txcasurcr. After considerable discussion, Wins ton-Salem was decided on as the place of the next meeting. Charlotte wanted the next convention and wanted it bad but the majority of the members were in favor of Winston-Salem. The convention came to a close! tonight with a big ball at Lumina. This was well attended and was one of the most enjoyable features of the entire convention. PENSION NOTICE.

Heard First Mate Died While Serving In The Spanish American War. HE LIVED THROUGH FEVER Likewise He Married Again Cburt Is Asked To Un do The Tangle. New York, June 6. Mrs. Helen May Denny Baldwins-Stuart, a hand some young woman, who sought a deer e annulling her marriage to George W. Stuart, a wealthy retired commission me. chant, told a remarkable story of her matrimonial experiences to Supreme Court Justice Hendrick. He reserved decision after examining her at length. Mrs. StuaTt said that fourteen years ago, when she was known in Syracuse, N. Y., her home town, as "Pretty Nc lie Den y," she was married to Charles D. Baldwin, 'an iron worker. After a few months they moved to Watertown and remained there until the spring of 1S98, whi-n Baldwin enlisted in the Spanish-American War. She did not hear from him after his enlistment. She said Mrs. Hanfey, Baldwin's sister with whom they had resided before he went to the war told her afterward that several of his regimental comrads had broiight back the news that Baldwin had di-d of fever, one of them going so far as to say he saw Baldwin dying. Believing this ttory, she married Stua.t at Sea Cliff, L. I., on Feb. 11, 1907. She had told him of her previous marriage. Then a year ago she received a letter from a woman who signed hciself Mis. Charles D. Baldwin, saying she had married Charles D. Baldwin in 1909. Maurice Meyer, her counsel, ex plained that an investigation had shown that Baldwin had b?en stricken with fever and was believed to be dying. He recov?rcd, however, and was mustered out. He then went to Denver, wnerc ncj worked at his trade and finally took a second wife without learning whether his first wife was dead or alive. Edward Weiss, an attorney, testified that he had seived Baldwin with subpoena calling on him to appear in Mrs. StewartV suit, but had been in formed that Baldwin feared to come to court lest he be arrested for bigamy. Mrs. Stuart had stated that she left Stuart, her last husband, a year ago and was questioned closely by the Court as to the reason why. Her answers did not satisfy Justice Hendrick and she harply asked whether she did not wish to get rid of Stuart. She explained that he had refused to support her and she had been compellccij to o to work to earn a living Justice Hendrick wanted to know the whereabouts of Stuart and was told that he had been last heard of in Lynn, Mass.
