BUILD KIN M UN A UNION 5IA11UN
Corporation Commit-

Line Railway Company
To Erect Suitable
Building In Capital of
Lenoir County--Other
New. Notes From Ral
eigh Raleigh, April 15. The Corpora
tion Commission today ordered the
Norfolk Southern and the Atlantic
Coast Line to build a union station
at Kinaton and the people of that city
are to receive after several years of
agitation a passenger depot in har
mony with their growth.
The order is written by Judge
Qoorge P. Pell of the Commission
who went to Kinston and heard all
the arguments of counsel for the
road and for the people. The needs
ware found to be so great and the
convenience of the public so much
at stake that the commission feels
justified when all roads are cutting
expenses in making this order. Per
haps no other town in the State so
badly needs the new station. The
site of the now station will be the
Presbyterian church lot,
In Supreme Court.
Murray Allen, attorney for the
Seaboard, today carried a step fur
ther toward the Supreme Court than
he went yesterday, a small case in
volving the constitutionality of the
Qrier act. Mr. Allen is after the
Southern Express Company which
declined to deliver to George M.
Qlen.n a quart of whiskey because
this was the second measure which
the carrier declares Mr. Glenn has
received over its line since aridity
was inaugurated April 1. The ex
press company will take no chances
and Mr. Glenn will take no toddy
unti this, is settled,
Mr. Allen contends that the Grier
act is unconstitutional and that the
express company's refusal to deliver
is untenable in law. The prohibi
tion against delivery is denied by
Mr, AN60, wnu holds that the pro
hibition is against the receipt. He
reads the law against the purchaser
of the whiskey, And he thinks the
courts will not sustain the general
assembly In its attitude of stand
ing at a gentleman's muzzle for the
purpose of ascertaining how he shall
load himself. Mr. Allen does not
believe the legislature has the right
to police the paunch, to establish
a benevolent autocracy about the
appetite. He is dead in earnest about
this W&X W$ these viewed' now
tio'niewhat inharmonious with the
fiend of things, intensely. His march
to the highest court will be watched
by some excellent prohibitionists who
have somewhat the same views about

it mav be necessary to remove two
plates on the port stern of the Kroe
print Wilhelm. that vessel may be
allowed twenty-one days to com
plete repairs at the Newport News
shipyard before she will be forced to
sail or intern . A naval board of survey
will examine the ship as soon as she
goes into dry dock, which will probably
by this afternoon or Saturday.
The Wilhelm yesterday took on pro
visions and water sufficient to last
four days. She also added 200 tons
of coal to the want snpplv she had in
her bunkers.
Stocking L'p
A large quantity of vegetables main
ly spinach, onions and cabbages were
sent to the ship from Newport News.
These vegetables, it was said, 'would be
used almost exclusively in treating the
ninety-four persons on board the ship
who are suffering from beri-beri.
The Kronprinz has eleven inches of
water in an after oompartment, which
has been leaking for two weeks, Pumps
are kept working day and night to
prevent the water from gaining head
way.
The transfer of the raider from her
anchorage in James river to the ship
yard has been delayed on account of
the bursting of a pipe leading to the
steam winches, which, owing to ab
sence of hand equipment, makes it
impossible to weigh anchor. Permis
sion has been granted for the repair of
the winch and skilled mechanics are
now at work.
Repairs Needed
Repairs to the Wilhelm may be be
gun, however, before she goes into dry
dock. Collector of Customs Hamilton
today addressed a letter to the ship
yard officials and to Captain Thierfel
der notifying them that there was no
objection to beginning any repair
work which Captain Thierfelder may
request to make his vessel seaworthy,
but only such repairs as are needed
to make her seaworthy must be under
taken. The Wilhelm will probably
be taken alongside one of the ship-
yara piers Saturday and repairs
begun. The nval examining board
and the shipyard experts will make
a thorough survey of the sea rover
after she is placed in drydook and on
the naval board's report will bo bas
ed the time allowed the German to
make his big vessel seaworthy. The
idea os Colleotor Hamilton is per
mitting the beginning of repair work
before the vessel is taken into dry
dock was to expedite matters as far
as possible and avoid the waste
of time intervening between the time
the Wilhelm is taken alongside a pier
and the time when she is placed in dry
dock. Captain Thierfelder has asked
for three weeks time in which to make
his ship seaworthy.
Captain Thierfelder yesterday re
iterated the statement he had made
several times to. the effeot that he in
tends to sail as soon as his ship is
ready for sea.
Hears of Enemy's Ships
He was greatly interested in the re
port that three British warships had
joined the fleet that is patrolling the
coast outside the Virginia capes wait-
ng for him to attempt to reach the
sea.
He is said to have obtained from
Captain Thierichens of the Eitel Fried
rich a list of vessels that are waiting
or him outside the capes.
Ammunition was removed from the
Eitel Eriedrich at the Norfolk navy
ard today. Officials declined to say
what the quantity was, but it is re
ported that there was not enough left
to sink a rowboat."
The Kronpritu, Wilhelm is reported
o be short of ammunition. Her cap
tain, -hiiwever, says he needs few shells

by opening their seacocks.
Captain Theirfelder is reported to
have discussed with Captain Thier

HUERTA FLED TO
ESCAPE SPANIARDS
Wily Old Ex-Dictator Still
Looking Out for
Number One
Washington, April 16. The
reason why Victoriano Huerta,
rea
for-
mer Mexican dictator, came to the
United States from Spain was reveal
ed here today. He was seeking a
refuge. While he may take part in
schemes relative to Mexico, that was
not his aim in coming here, Govern
ment officials have learned.
Publication of a list of crimes com
mitted against Spaniards during Hu
erta's regime in Mexico aroused
public anger in Spain to such an ex
tent that the Madrid Government
practically expelled him. This was
done ostensibly to appease the wrath
of the Spanish people, but in reality
to save Huerta s lite, as ine.as in se
rious danger of mob violence.
As soon as Huerta reached Spain
and settled down to enjoy the fruits
of his rule in Mexico, the Spanish
newspapers began denouncing him.
They declared that directly after the
death of Madero Huerta demanded
$20,000,000 from a list of Mexican
banks. He finally obtained $25,000,-
000, and this he deposited in banks in
Spain against the house when he must
flee. Then they published the names
of fifteen Spanish citizens alleged to
have been murdered by Hnerta.Many
other crimes and the confiscation of
Spanish property were described.
"Shall we provide a harbor for this
assassin?" asked one Spanish newspa
per editorialy. All called upon tho
Government to expel the unwelcome
guest.
Mobs assembled around Hueita's
residenee and the Government pri
vately informed him that he must
leave immediately. A "guard of hon
or" was placed at bis door. It was
really a cordon of mounted police to
protect bim.
Offloers of the Government not only
escorted Huerta to the pier and saw
him on board the Antonio Lopes, but
two swift destroyers accompanied the
vessel to tea.

for voting against good roads, and left
them hung up in the mud and blight
ed with the curse of God for having
the only licensed sale of liquor by the

Just Out of Jail
He Is Rich Man
Forest City, South Dakota, April
16. Francis Van Moore, an Indian.
has left the K;:r- i-niteptary a
rich man. Instead of following the
usual course of other pardoned con
victs, who leave the prison with a suit
of clot lies and a small sum of money,
he found a fortune of several thousand
dollars in land and money awaiting
him.
Tribal Funds Saved
Van Moore is oe the Cheyenne Riv
er reservation and during bis imprison
ment of fifteen years tribal funds due
him from the government had been
collected for him,
In addition there is a large amount
of property to which Van Moore falls
heir. He was the only son of Mary
Dolphus, an Indian woman. During
his imprisonment she married Ole
Mortenson, of Gettysburg. She died
and Morteson's children started legal
proceedings -to claim her property.
Van Moore, being declared legally
dead, as far as his interest went in
claiming a shaie in the estate, was
not considered.
Probate proceedings were still on at
Washington when the opinion of the
Federal Court for South Dakota, hand
ed down by Judge J. W. Elliott, was
received, holding that Van Moore
had boon illegally imprisoned. Pro
bate proceedings were stopped and it
looks as if Van Moore will -be tho real
heir. The property consists of a sec
tion of nch South Dakota bind, town
property, and considerable property
in northern Minnesota, where bis
mother formerly lived. , .'.(: :
Sentenced For Musclar
Van Moore was sent up Irom Stan
ley ci unity for the murder of Susan
Tin Cup, another Indian, his sentence
being for life. Soon afterward a
legal fight was started for MS free
dom on the grounds that he was a
government charge and therefore the
State oourtt had no jurisdiction over
hia notions.
Attorneys W. G. Porter and K. L.
Grantham, of Aberdeen, took hold of
the ease, and recently their contention
was recognized in an opinion from
Federal Judge Elliott, of Sioux Falls.
Aa Van Moore had served-fifteen years
imprisonment, the Federal authorities
decided that he had been punished
sufficiently.
