JijDG HUMPHRIES E BECOMES LENIENT REMITS FINES AND PARDONS ALL WHOM HE JAILED AT SEATTLE. - Seattle, Wash., Oct. 4. Superior ju.-'gc John fc. Humphries, who Wan the day in belligerent mood with his aoc;et full of contempt of court cases against Socialists, adjourned court late today after dispensing pardons and remission to all comers. Hl. change of attitude came after a con sultation with a representative of eight other Superior judges. Until the middle of the afternoon Judge Humphries continued to hear the cas es of the 55 signers of the "defiance" who refused to obey his order prohib iting street speaking. In the morning penalties imposed were severe, in the afternoon mild. He frequently warned tne attendants not to be "sassy Those who were "sassy" fared ill. Kate Saddler, a street speaker, was bro.ght from the county jail where she had been confined for interrupting the court proceedings yesterday. Ques tioned by Judge Humnhries. she de clared she had not assailed him in her speech, but on the contrary had prais ed lum as an object lesson of the need of the recall of judges. To her amaze ment the court said he would reduce her fine of $100 to $10. "I'll not pay it," she shouted. "Don't get sassy," said the judge, adding, the fine is remitted anyhow." At the close of court tonight the principals of the Socialist contempt cases were free and more than a score of persons were in jail in default of paying fines varying from $50 to $300 for talking back to the court. Three of the latter had been sentenced to six months each in prison. GOV E RNOR ISSUES A PROCLAMATION DESIGNATES OCTOBER 9TH TO BE OBSERVED AS FIRE PREVENTION DAY. Raleigh, Oct. 4. Governor Craig issued a proclamation today designa ting October 9 as "Fire Prevention Day." He urged all the people, public officials as well as private citizens, to observe this day in appropriate manner. He asks that the city and town officials provide for proper meet ings and addresses to call this matter of ending, as far as possible, the great fire waste from which the State and the nation suffer. He wants the fire men and civic bodies especially to unite in making this day worth while, including arrangements for inspecting buildings and premises to the end that conditions calculated to start fires may be removed. In the preamble to the proclamation the governor declares that the efforts to stop the fire waste which entails an anneal loss of $250,000,00 are especially commend able, this fire waste being eight or ten times as great in this country as in European countries. He says the people are coming to realize that two-thirds of this fire waste is preventable by even ordinary care. He says the losses in North Carolina are prac tically on as large a scale as in the other States of the union; that the State legislature has provided ample laws for building inspection and other precautions against fire, but that there is great need of better enforcement of the laws and the this can only be done when the people come to realize what can be accomplish ed in this line and the necessity for these precautions. PLAN TO INVESTIGATE SLO W SCHEDULES OP TRAINS Dr. Jno. M. Falcon Persuades Interstate Commerce Commission to Make Thorough Inspection Of Trains in Eastern North Carolina The Interstate Commerce Commis sion', after several conferences with and promises to Dr. Jno. M. Faison, who, since a member of Congress and before. has taken much interest in these lnw ox cart, badly refrigerated destructive schedules, which have cost the A. C. L. Co.. Penn. R. R. Co. and N.

R Co. many hundred thousand of dollars in losses of nehts of larger cron an for years practically blighted the berry, fruit, vegetable and fish in dustries of Eastern North Carolina the Garden Spot of the Stated- much of which is in Dr. Faison's Congressional District, has. at last, definitely agreed upon the time for the Hearings and investigation of such slow schedules and improper refrigeration, which will be held during the last week in Novem ber, 1913. These hearings will be held bv Mr. George P. Boyle, attorney for the refrigerator cars to move these crops, which are yet badly needed. These hearings at their own doors will give the growers and shippers full opportunity to be heard in Novem ber, and thev should and must use such opportunity to get faster schedules and proper refrigeration or cease to grow berries, fruit and vegetables longer. They can make far more , money growing cotton, corn, tobacco hay and stock and should all agree to stop cultivating these perishable crops unless guaranteed in advance all pay ment of losses sustained bv such 'ox cart" schedules and "hot air" refrigeration by the A.

Dr. Faison will, at once, take un with the growers and simmers at each shipping station the matter of classifying accurately their dates of these shipments, the time in transit of such slow deliveries to the Northern markets and their losses sustained thereby, so that the growers and shin pers can have time to furnish and file definite and accurate evidence to Mr. George P. Boyle, sttorney for the Interstate Commerce Comimssion, when he holds these hearings in November. Ihe shippers and growers at each shipping station should at once organize and appint a committee of their rep resentative shippers and growers to collect all such data from the records at their railroad shipping station and from their commission houses in the Northern markets, stating fullv. dates of shipment, dates when received, when late, and estimates of los.es sustained thereby. The A. C. L and Penn. Railroad Com panies have, promised faster sch edules and better refrigeration ex- pecially for the last three years since Dr. raison introduced resolutions for such investigation in Congress in 1901 but in vain. With the unusually short berry, fruit and vegetable crop of the present season the transoortation and refrigeration has been even slower and more blighting than anv season before. Had these crops been as large GIRL WITH STABBING CHARGE DECLARES SHE WAS WOUNDED BY BROKEN WINDSHIELD IN AUTJ. .SM UH. of the gross earnings of the railroad company. This shows that these railroad com panies are making larger profits an nually and are well able to furnish rapid transportation or pay all such losses. If sued in the State courts and compelled to pay such losses they will adopt faster schedules, better re frigeration and thereby increase their net earnings by many hundred thousand dollars by the large shipment of berries Iruits and vegetables, which the truck ers wll gladly grow for such shipments. when they know their crops will be properly and rapidly marketed. Large shipments should ive cheaper freight rates also, give larger net profits to both railroads and growers and also relieve the growing louder cry of "High Cost of Living" in the cities, now hungering for such wholesome summer foods. The usual schedule of these fast (?) "cannon ball" express trains has been from 2 to 8 miles per hour for the last 10 years, simple-goo oxcart time, when they should be 20 miles per hour at least, and when the railroads find RnunriuV TIL "I was a ortmt of ferer of female complaints for a year ana 1 got nothing that helped me un til I began taking Lydia E.

BE this season as usual, or larger than hearings. Should the large lumber usual no doubt the A. C. L. and Penn. industry in Eastern North Carolina Railroad Comnanies would have mm. have simitar romnlaints of slow deliverv pletely fallen down as they did in the for want of cars to the Northern memorable year 1906, when all ship- markets, Dr. Faison suggests that time ments failed to move for nine days will be given them to file their com- for want of sufficient engines and plaints also. On Monday a number of the crowded trades in the Citv frhnnlo will hp rlivi. out they must take such schedules ded into two or more sections. The hrst section will report at 9 o'clock and remain until 12:15 and the second section will come at 12:45 and remain until 4 p. m. The grades thus divided are the beginners 1st grade, the 2B grade and the 4A grade. It is hoped that this arrangement can be worked without friction, and thus the crowded conditions in these grades be remedied for the present as there is no prospect for the new school building during this school year. The arrangement is not the best but appears to be the only feasible plan under the present situation. or pay for the losses sustained they will easily make them. It is simply a matter of growers and shinners now getting together, show their losses from these 2 to 8 miles per hour slow ox-cart schedules and demand 20 miles per hour schedules and these railroads will simply make good. Proper refrigeration, minimum and maximum car loads quantities will also be investigated. Mr. George P. Boyle has been for some time special in.es tigating attorney for the Interstati Commission and will give the shippers and growers courteous and careful Jay Reil, one of Barnum and Bailey's advance agents, arrived in the citv last night to make fi nal preparations for the big show. i J, New York, Oct. 4. -ucill Si ngleton changed her mi id today b ut her charge of stabbing allait llarman Oclrichs, inilli inairj student at CI im bia Law school, whose automil.ile met with an accident when the tw. were riding in it Tuesday night ..1 v. fir kid- way. 5hc declared in an alii 1 1 it that her injuries were caused by poi.iu of glass of the wind shield, through which she was thrown.

In the midst of that wonderful col lection of the souvenirs of battle that are on permanent exhibition In Trophy hall at the Naval academy In Annapo lis are the nation's unknown trophies. Flags that were captured In now for gotten engagements are hung In the eases aide by side with those wboae glorious history la known. Two of these souvenirs of forgotten battles are British flags. One la a jack marked Avon and nothing more; the other is the ensign of a warship and la marked Bereford. From the condition of both of these flags it la supposed that they date back to the war of 1812, bnt history gives no rec ord of ships bearing those names be ing sent to American waters by Oreat Britain. Another of the mystery flags la the "814" flag. In great white figures this number appears on a field of blue, and the entire flag la bordered with red. From some engagement In the war with the' Moorish pirates the flag that the officers at Annapolis came to call the "house flag" seems to have come. Yet no one knows where that battle was fought or under what circum stances of heroic sacrifice It waa added to the long list of the trophies of oar naval victories. Christian Herald, Richmond, Va.

Thomas Smoaker "Seen His Duty and He Dene It George IV. while prince and resid ing in his Brighton palace kept in hla bedroom a portrait of Mrs. Gunn, an old bathing woman who used to dip him Into the sea when he waa the little Prince of Wales. A picture book much prised by children in England In those days showed the old lady bathing the little fellow. Beneath the picture was this stanza: To Brighton oame he. Cams George the Third's son. To be dipped in the sea By the famed Martha Gunn. A companion portrait to Martha Gunn's was that of Thomas Smoaker, Who had charge of the horse which drew the bathing machines into and out of the sea. One day the little royal highness, having learned to swim, swam out farther than Thomas Judged to be safe. He called to him to come back, but the self willed boy struck out with more vigor. Thomas went after the prince, overtook him, seised him by an ear and drew him to shore. "Do you think," he replied to the boy's angry words, "I'm a-going to get myself hanged for letting the king's heir drown hlsself Just to please a youngster Uke youT Pearson's. The First Reporter. The modern reporter harks back to the reign of Queen Anne and to the unknown scribe who attempted to tell the public the secrets of her parlia ment. He had a hard time of it, for parliament wished to keep its secrets to Itself. In 1728 an order waa passed "that It la an indignity to and a breach of the privilege of the house for any person to presume to give in written or printed newspapers any account or minute of the debates or proceedings; that upon discovery of the authors, printers or publishers of any such newspapers this bouse will proceed against the offenders with the utmost severity." During the famous Wilkes case in 1772 the reporters won the vic tory which they have since held with out dispute. New York American. A Dish of Tea. Dish" throughout the eighteenth century was a colloquialism for cup. In fashionable bouses at first, and for long, tea was drunk from a cup with out a handle brought from China. The vessel waa termed a dish. When the Chinese cup waa first copied by Eng lish potters, the convenience of a ban die waa added. The saucer also waa brought from China. It received the name because of Its resemblance to the English saucer, a platter In which auce was served. The familiar gibe, "saucer eyes," was originally Inspired by the sauce saucer long before Lord Arlington gave the first tea party In England in Arlington bouse, where Buckingham palace stands, at the res toration period.

Takng.advantage of the large crowd and the excitement - prevailing on ac count of the circus, pickpockets reaped a rich harvest in New Bern yesterday. Not only did these thieves relieve unsuspecting persons of thire money and ewelry, but they also included dogn in their list of desirable articles and is consequence several valuable canine are missing. A dairng negro picked the pocket of Tube Jones, secretary of the Clark Brick and Tile Company as he was en- route to New Bern yesterday morning and succeeded in getting his hands on more than a hundred dollars. For tunately for Mr. Jones the thief and two accomplices were apprehended and th money was returned to the owner. The three negroes were brought to this city and placed in the Craven county jail.

An organized band of thieves seems to be following Barnum and Bailey's circus. The management- of the big show know that this is the case and have done everything possible to apprehend the criminals and bring them to justice, but so far they have been unable to do this. At Durham the thieves en tered a private residence and stole jewelry valued at more than a thousand dollars. At Goldsboro last Thursday they even went so far as to eater a citizen's stable and steal one of his horses. So far as is known no homes were entered here, the thieves confining their depredations to the open where they could escape if necessary. Whether the three now held here are members of this gang is not known. However, it is more than probable that they arc not for their work was a bungle and this resulted in. their capture.
