The first snotioa U that the defen dant was aot present whea the verdict wu rendered, and the second in for a mtm trial on the grounds of newly dia- covered evidence. Of course, the courts Will have to subject both these motions to the cold test of principles of law. So ware. lr vw-k w nithina nt the riffhteousnes of either motion. We do know, however that Leo Frank should have a new trial Whother iruiltv or not he was convicted not only in the midst of prejudice, but ahanlutelv amid turmoil. There was nothing that would give him a chance and everything, other than evidence to tip the scales of justice against him Therpforp he should have a new trial and we have never understood how a new trial would injure society. H Frank is guilty surely it should be as easy to prove now as a year ago. "The Belgians have evacuated Ant werp," says a head-line. Well, what of it? It's no disgrace to run when you get scared. Every citizen of New Bern should boost the coming fair in every possible way. The success of the exhibition this month is practically assured, but just the same we want to make it big ger, better and in every way more int eresting than ever before. Put in a good word for it whenever possible. Several counties in this State have rlurintr the nast few weeks been raked over the coals by various Superior Court judges for allowing their convicts to be beaten up and handled unmercifully. Because a man is a convict, and a "nigger" is no reason why he should be put through the tortures of the in quisition and any guard found guilty of inhuman treatment should be prose cutcd to the law's extent Kl STO, V C, Oct.. Oct. 9. The naal session of the Methodist New Bern District Sunday School and Epworth League Confeience was held in Caswell Street Church to night. The conference has been under way since ysterday morning. Presiding Elder J.

The la mem bers included many suerinteiidents and teachers of Sunda schools, organ tied class workers. There are 7 Sunday schools, 25 pasto.s, 26 Kpworth l eagues and 43 Wesley Bible classes in the dis trict. Nearly all were represented by delegates.

Great Britain claims the right to intercept cotton in neutral bottoms bound for German ports, but acknowledges the obligation to pay at invoice figures for the car goes so seized. This state of affairs leads the Florida Times-Union to ask why it wou d not be good business for the South to ship cotton by contract to Germany? If the cargo got safely to the consignee, so well and good. If the ship was captured enroute, then Eng land would settle at the agreed figures. There must be some flaw in this propo sition, ft looks too easy and too good. "Austria-Hungaria" says a head line. If this is the case why not let France Serv (her) ia with Turkey and Greece It pays to be pleasant and obliging The fellow who walks around with chip on his shoulder and who thinks he is "IT" is a poor misguided speci men of the human race. There's never yet been an individual of this variety who made good in any line. Work is going right ahead on "The Greater New Bern Edition" which the Journal will issue in a few days. This special edition will be one of the best ever issued in tne Mate and we are doing our best to make it a credit to the city and county. According to reports reaching New- Bern from main office of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company, that com pany is plannng a number of improve ments on the New Bern division in the near futurt The Norfolk South ern has alw ay sreated this section with the utmost consideration and this ac counts tor the good will to ward them which is evident here. The situation as to the increase in the price of cotton looks more encour aging every aay. . Every farmer in Craven county should hold to what he hat until he gets ten cents per pound for it. To sell it for less will be like throwing money away. . Let us all join hands and help nai tht lies and the liars. R. MORRIS SAYS HE WON'T STAND BY THE PEOPLES PARTY. BI'.Al I ORT, Oct. ' - After consid ering the matter two weeks, Jas. K. Morris, who w.ts tendered the nomina tion for Sheriff bv the People's party at the convention September 2l, has lecided to not accept I he nomination. Morris made a light at the Democratic primaries and convention last May for the office of Register ol 1 levels, but was defeated bv the incumbent, . W. Wal lace. His deleat caused delegates from East Carteret to rebel, m.mv of them caving the convention. Morris was one ol tne hollers. It was tins split in Democratic ranks that caused the birth of the People's party. Alvah and Luther Hamilton of Atlantic, who are very close to Morris, attended the People's party convention, and it was generally assumed they had the word that he would make the race. Morris here this week conferring with Demo cratic and People's parly leaders, and the announcement of his withdrawal comes not as an entire surprise. Local members of the People's party campaign committee say that Morns place will be tilled by a man fully as strong, if not stronger. Wasaiattoa.

Hill Warned He Will Be Held Responsible Acapulco Re ported Starving. Atlanta, Oct 8 W. M. Smith, whose declaration of Leo Frank's innocence is the latest sensation tf the celebrated case, made public today an analysis by Berry Benson, of Augusta, of the death notes found near the body of Mary Fhagan. Mr. Benson is a public accountant and a student of handwriting. He has done expert work in litigations involving forgeries and his opinion is given by Mr. Smith as one of the reasons for his own close investigation of the case. The opinion has been print ed in several Georgia newspapers. The Augusta man declares that there is not a white man, North or South, who could have dictated the notes with their typical negro lingo. "If Edgar Allen Poe, a genius with his pen and a Southern man, failed in his story of 'The Goldbug' to write properly the dialect of the Carolina coast negro, how could Frahk possibly express negro?" inquired Mr. Benson. "Conley swears that these two notes were written at the same time at Frank's desk, on a pad taken from hi Albermarle Sheriff Hides Negro From Angry Mob ALLEGED ASSAILANT OF YOUNG WHITE GIRL THREAT ENED BY LYNCHING Charged With Stealing Trousers CLAUD HASTLER WAS BEFORE THE MAYOR YESTER DAY AFTERNOON.

' Claud Hastier, colored, was ar raigned before Mayor Bangert at Po lice Court yesterday afternoon, on a warrant charging him with on or about the 25th of June stealing one pair of trousers from Ellis Hooks, colored. Af ter hearing the evidence the Mayor found probable cause and bound the defendant over to the next term of Superior Court under a justified bond in tne oi nity dollars, which he was unable to furnish. A short time after the theft was committed, Hastier left town with Al len's Ministrel show and returned only a few days ago. Hooks saw the defen dant Monday, he was then wearing the trouses and had him arrested. The ac cused claimed that a prominent white man gave hin the goods for chopping some wood for him. Harrison Grey, colored, was taxed with the cost for engaging in an alter ation with another negro on Jerkins alley. DELIRIOUS NEGRO PRISONER CAUSES DISTURBANCE One of the colored prisoner at the county jail and who is ill, became delir ioua last night and created considerable disturbance in that section with hi song and howling. There waa nothing that Jailer Bayliss could do to stop the man' and' for An hour or tiore he rent the air with hi raving. OIL STEAMER -; (Morehead City Coaster.) ! The oil steamer Velma Brook ar rived in poert to day with a load of oil fo the local branch of the Texas Oil Company. 12,000 gallon of the "liquid" was left with ' the branch, IjT. J. Turner, left yesterday morning for a business bvisit to Morehead City, Albermarle, Oct. 8 The negro who gave his name as Howard Craig and who was arrested by a posse yesterday afternoon, charged with the rape ol Odessa Coggin, the 15 year old daughter of Harris Coggin, was this morning arried by Sheriff T. R. Forrest either to Charlotte or Salisberry jail for safe keeping. 1 he crime was committeed yester day afternoon late near the home of the girl's father while she was picking cot ton a short distance from the house The negro was arrested about two hours later.'after he had succeeded in dodg- ng a crowd pursuing him for a consider able time. He was brought to Albe marle by Sheriff Forrest last night about 9 o'clock and feeling was at such a stage that the sheriff became appre hensive and in order to avert a probable lynching slipped the negro out of jail and carried him this morning to some point unknown to local people. Developments later in the night proved that the sheriff was not unwise in removing the negro from the jail here, for it had not been but a short while from the time the negro was re moved until a supposed representative of a mob demanded that he be allowed to go into the jail and see whether or not the negro was in there. He was carried through and convinced that the negro was not there. Later in the night several homes were searched, among them the home of Rev. Alexand er Miller, pastor of the First Baptist church of this place. It is not known why the mob suspected the negro to be at Mr. Miller's home, unless possibly some one saw the sheriff going out in the direction of his residence with the negro. A petition was prepared by the chairman of the Board of County Com missioner and signed by the local bar this , afternoon asking ' Governor Craig to call a special term of court at once in order, that a speedy trial may be given the negro.. ;-. ' ; ; ' ' Mr. Coeiin, the father of the sirl. think that there fa no question a the negro arrested being the guilty party and the citizen around New London, a well a around Albemarle, are very, much wrought up over the affair. The girl' condition is said to be serious. , k, and at Frank's dictation. They. were not written about the same time The second note was an afterthou il This is clear for two reasons. 'First. Because the first note at its ending is badly crowded, witn tne iclent intent to get all in on that sheet; so much crowded, in fact, that the last word 'me' is written under t he last line, on the bottom edge of the sheet and in the middle of the bottom edge. Had he intended to write more he would not have so crowd ed his words at the end. Anvwav, he would have carried the word ' tie' over to the next page or sheet. 1 his is lur- ther evidence by the general fact that Conley was free with his paper, giving hi lself plenty of room, even skipping lines. The beginning was on the third line, and two other full lines were skip ped, besides leaving wide margins. Wide margins that were not left on the sec ond note, especially the margin at the left. "Second. Because the writing in the second note, although undoubtedly by the same hand, is smaller than that in the first note. I observed that fact on first inspection. "I had enlarged photographs made and then measured carefully with sur vcyor's compasses, all letters in both notes, to within one thirty-second of an inch, or in thirty-seconds of an inch. I found that the letters in the first note exceed in height those in the second note in the proportion of 120 to 100; that it, they are one-fifth higher elevation on the average. "This is a very large difference and it is to be accounted for bv the sec ond note being written later, by some interval of time than the first note. Probably the nerves of the writer had cecovered somewhat from the first ex ritement of the murder." New Oreans, October 8. This city has become the headquarters of several Mexican revolutionary leaders. They are openly planning revolts in the south ern republic and make no secret of their intentions. Felix Diaz and former President Carbaja , here for several weeks, were joiaed to-day by six former Mexican Generals and their staffs F.milio Inerol V. Gonmer, Marcelo Caravo, Louis Medina Barron, Francisco del Toro, Felix Terraza, sone of the former Mili tary Governor of Chihuahua, and Juan Cenegas. All of the Generals, including Go mez, were military leaders under Huerta and were in charge of Federal forces and forces in the vicinity of Vera Cruz when the American fleet captured the city last April. Awaiting Developments. Gen. Gomez to-night said "We are here awaiting developments in Mexico to plan our re-entry into our country. We are in direct communication with our leaders on the ground, and will be ready to strike when our plans are per fected. Carranza has no influence and will be overthrown easily He ran get no peace in Mexico Villa is the strongest man now in authority and could easily seize the Government. "The old Diaz and Huerta following eventually will control Mexico. Our plans now being perfected have but one object in view that ot bringing peace to our beloved country. When the time comes we will strike." The party of Huerta Generals has been joined here bv several former Mexican Cabinet officers. Consulta tions are in progress almost continuously. Felix Diaz has been called into sev eral of these conferences, but has noth ing to say for publication except, "We are working for the good of Mexico. The present Government will not do." Have Plenty of Funds. All of the Mexican revolutionary leaders seem to be abundantly supplied with funds, and several of them made large deposits in the local banks. No effort is being made to hide their iden tity, and they have suites in one of the best hotels in New Orleans. They have surrounded their headquarters with messengers, and frequently call into.. . consultation well known former resident of Mexico now in the city. Felix Diaz personally has called sev eral of the old Diaz lieutenants hcrt. He is reported as saying; "We can put 20,000 well equipped men in the field almost at once. My followers will be ready to strike when I say the word. I have not yet received any direct an swer from Villa, but it may not be necessary to join with him. Develop ments may lead to different alliances.' af5 r I'll I AU OUUL tin cm i. OpiuiiU'iurpame nortfaeri KOTNAgCOYie. Tor Infants rp3 CMIdrfnL The Kind Ycu Have Always Bough!

Clifford in the title role, sup ported by a clever Company, each mem ber of which is star. When the season has closed at our local house and a review of the attractions, which have been seen throughout the season, has been made, something will be radically wrong if the press and the public alike do not give this company the credit for having the most finished production of dramatic work, comedy- and musical ability that has ever, been seen. For presenting a new bill, the success of this company has been nothing short of phenomenal,, and in many instances the house record has been smashed all to pieces.
