V 1 H WILSON, IS. C. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 1910 Vol. 9-No. 183 y re1' TQIiiORRQlV New York Republi cans Gathering at Saratoga WILL BE A FIGHT Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 26. If the progressives under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt win their- fight against the old guard for control of the Republican State convention, which opens tomorrow, it will be af ier a battle on the convention floor. It is unlikely that an attempt will be made to repel the State committee on the Roosevelt-Sherman chairman ship controversy at its meeting to night. This is the situation as outlined by President Lloyd C. Griscom, of the New York County Republican Com mittee shortly after his arrival here. It indicates that the progressives are doubtful of their ability to control the State committeee and that they pre fer to take no chance on having the committee reject Mr. RoosevelJ a sec ond time, thinking it safer to leave the solution of the problem to the conven tion itself, of which they claim they control by a large majority. The minimum Roosevelt vote is placed by Mr. Griscom at 570, while Cornelius V. Collins, of Troy, who is lining up the Roosevelt forces, placed the figures at 583 with new recruits constantly coming. State Chairman "Woodruff declared there was little Change in the situa tion and that the contest would be dose. Mr. Griscom retold last night the Circumstances leading up to the pre sentation of Colonel Roosevelt's name at the State Committee meeting on August 16th. He had been shown an editorial in Mr. Barneys' Albany paper in which appeared this statement: "The argument advanced by Mr. Griscom that the members ;. of the State Committee who voted for Mr. Sherman were deceived, is simply a plain lie." The New York chairman reiterated his former statement that reception had been practiced in regard to Pres ident Taft's position on the temporary chairmanship by the old guard leaders but further than this he made no comment-While the progressives are confident of electing Colonel Roosevelt as tem porary chairman the greater struggle, they say will come in the r on resolutions over the direct primary question. ' Asked about candidates, Mr. Gris com thought.- the . up-State section should have the preference in naming the candidate. "But," he added, "whoever Is se lected must measure fully up to the standard "of some good men we have down in New York Henry L.-StiTn-son, William S. Bennet and Seth Low, Tor instance." . Lightning Tires Catholic Orphanage. 'Raleigh N. C, Sept. 26. Lightning struck the cross on the tower of the church at the Roman Catholic Orphan age at Nazareth, in Raleigh's suburbs Saturday, and set it and the tower afire. It blazed like a torch hue the Raleigh firemen went two miles, laid sOOQ feet of hose from the Central "Hospital for Epileptics, and saved the building, except the top of the tower. The church was slightly damaged by water. . 1 Prominent Floridian Assaslnated. t ' Ocala, Fla., Sept. 26. Nick Myers, a ' prominent citizen of this county, was assassinated Saturday near his home by unknown persons. Bloodhounds 'l-.-s.v3 tsen cured and placed on the :tx.:i of the Assassins. '::(-?y:' --; Against Stock Watering. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 26. "Stock watering and legislation against stock watering have been talked about for twenty years, and I am determined to see if there is any virtue in legislation on this subject," said Governor Mar shall in a statement in regard to the suit, instigated by him, which was filed at Logansport, asking that the charter of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company be revoked on the ground that it had been obtained by misrepresentation. "The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company of Indiana, is a mere farce," continued the Governor, "designed to evade the railroad commission of In diana and the State Board of Tax Commissioners. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company of Virginia, the foreign corporation arraigned in our complaint as contemplating the stock jobbing, and stock juggling, has mortgaged for $40,000,000 the property of the Chicago, Cincinnati and Louis ville Railroad Company, which its agents bought at receiver's sale a few weeks ago for $5,000,000 as we al lege. This $40,000,000 the company claims is to cover a bond issue in equal amount. This suit so far as I know is the first to be filed in In diana to test a corporation's right to distribute watered stock to an inno cent public. Gore Won Everybody in Old The North State. (Greensboro Telegram.) This old town rang yesterday with the praise of Senator Gore's speech Tuesday night. Men who had heard Vance said that Gore's style of speak ing was like Vance's, which was a great compliment indeed. -The coming of a man like Gore into a community should be and is an influence for good. The Senator is a man who has made the most of his opportunities. What he has' done he has done the best he knew. With the most of us the dis position to hurry through with our work and to do it in a slovenly man ner is rather strong. Mr. Gore evi dently has the infinite capacity for taking pains which some great writer has designated as genius. He makes the ideal political speech one-fourth argument and three-fourths wit and humor. mm A COTTON STEAMER CLEARS. Mariner Sails For Bremen With 9,991 Bales First of Season. (Wilmington Star.) With 9,991 bales of new crop cotton for Bremen, Germany, the British steamer Mariner, Captain Morrison, cleared yesterday, the first of the sea son, with the staple for foreign ex port from this port. The cargo is valued; at $680,000 and vessel and cargo are by Messrs Alexander Sprunt & Son. Two other steamers, the Kil- dale and Hillbrook, are in. the com press docks to receive cargoes and the first named will be ready to clear within the next few days. The re ceipts of the staple at the port this week have been heavy, ranging be tween 2,000 and 3,000 bales daily. Smuggling Opium. Washington, .Sept. 26. An investi gation of the Federal prisons at At lanta, Ga., and McNeills Island, Wash ington, has been ordered by the De partment of Justice to ascertain whether opium, cocaine and whiskey are being smuggled ,by guards for the use of the prisoners. Investiga tion at the Federal prison .at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,, recently dis closed such a practice, there and re ports to the Department indicated a probability of its existence at the oth er Institutions. Representatives .of the Department have been sent to the prisons. .-;' Fifty Cases Asiatic Cholera. .x Naples, Sept. 26. Asiatic t cholera apparently has taken a strong hold here. Yesterday 50 cases of cholera were reported, with jnany deaths, and the report today places the number of cases at 100 with 22 deaths. . The di rector general of health has arrived here from Rome because of the gravi ty of the situation. LETTER Democrats May Con trol The Next House SENATE A REPUBLICAN Washington, Sept. 26. (Special.) While the signs of the times portend losses to the Republicans, and while the Democrats are "cock sure" that they will control the next House of Representatives, it will- take the Democrats a long time even with the tide running In their favor, to gain the Senate. They are already assured of a gain in Maine, having won the Legislature, which elects a successor to Senator Hale, but they are due to lose a Senator in William E. Purcell, of North Dakota, who was appointed by George Burke to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Hon. Fountain L. Thompson. The North Dakota, legislature is largely Republi can and when it meets next spring will elect Purcell's successor. Of the thirty Senators whose terms expire next March, twentyfour are Republicans and six are Democrats. The Democrats gain one in Maine and are making vigorous contests in eleven other States. Republican man agers profess to see no danger ex cept in Indiana, Nebraska and Mis souri. Beveridge is having a hard fight in the "Hoosier" State, but Demo cratic disaffection over the selection of .Tohn W. Kern may aid Beveridge very materially. Burkett is in danger in Nebraska and Warner's seat is more than likely to be occupied by a Democrat. But the Democrats are making pro gressive campaigns in Montana for Carter's, seat, in New York for De pew's, in Ohio for Dick's, in Delaware for Du Pont's, in Massachusetts for Lodge's, and in Nevada for Nixon's. The Senate stands fifty-nine Repub licans and thirty-three Democrats, a majority of twenty-six for the domin ant party. Therefore, the Democrats must gain fourteen Senators before they can control the upper branch of Congress, which seems wholly impos sible at this year's election. The next most interesting phase of the situation will be the strength of the insurgents and tariff reforms in both houses. The importance of this question will be seen when Congress undertakes, upon the President's re commendation, to resume revision of the tariff by a gradual process of tak ing up schedules seriatim. - President Taft dealt a body blow to the "piece-meal" policy of river and harbor appropriations at the con vention ' of '. the Ohio River. Improve ment Association recently held in Cin cinnati and emphasized his position on waterway improvements as outlin ed in his memorandum to Congress in giving his 1 reasons for signing the last river and harbor bill. - President Taft's emphatic protest against sporadic appropriations in the river and harbor bills of the future emphasizes in no uncertain manner the position of they National Rivers and Harbors Congress on this subject and when this great body of water way enthusiasts meets in the Nation's Capital on December 7th, 8th and 9th, it is confidently expected that the President's demand for a comprehen sive policy of waterway betterments will be enthusiastically endorsed. Up to the death recently , of James Clark McGrew, at his home in West Virginia, the member of Congress who reached the greatest age after retire ment to privade life was Thomas Sum ter, who was, famous as a Brigadier General of South Carolina troops in the Revolutionary War, and who re cei ved the thahks of Congress for single bravery. General Sumter was a member of this first Congress and several Congresses there as well as two terms of Senator from South Carolina. He was born in 1736 and died 1832. Mr. McGrew was born in 1813 and was therefore 97 years old. He was nineteen years old when Gen eral Sumter died, and Andrew Jack son had just begun his second term in the White House. .Schooner Towed To Port. Wilmington, Sept. 26. The schooner Silverspray, 162 tons, Captain Thomas M. Calder, bound from Darien, Ga., to Millbridge, Me., with cargo of ships lumber, was towed into port Saturday by the Wilmington tug Blanche, water logged and her master ill with fever. The schooner sprung a leak 100 miles south of Cape Fear last Wednesday night, the 21st, and although the crew was constantly at the pumps, she fill ed rapidly and lost part of her deck load. She drifted before the wind, reaching Shallotte, N. C, beach, where she anchored and sent two men ashore, who secured assistance and the vessel was brought into this port. The crew was exhausted when assist ance arrived and a physician was sent on board to Captain Calder, until he reached here and was sent to the United States Marine Hospital. American Commission Returning. Mexico City, Sept. 26. American Special Ambassador Curtis Guild, Jr.. and members of the commission from the United States to the Mexican cen tennial of Independence Celebration, left Saturday night in a special car attached to the national train, for their homes. Ambassador Guild made an address expressing appreciation of the cour tesies shown the members of the American commission and adding: "Mexico has done wisely in making her centennary no mere extrava gance of temporary displays, but , an occasion for the foundation of schools, a great university and some of the most superb public buildings in the world. "Under Porfirio Diax, Mexico has shown herself not merely lavish and generous, but a strong and dignified nation to be loved as a host and hon ored as a neighbor.!' THE RESULTS SATURDAY.

The Clyde Line steamer Huron, from Jacksonville and Charleston for New York with passen gers, broke her tail shaft when near Diamond Shoals lightship at noon Sat urday. She succeded in anchoring safely and sent out wireless calls for assistance. The breaking of the shaft rendered the liner helpless and Captain Staples immediately let go the vessels anchor. There was no excitement on board. Few of the passengers knew the cause of the vessel's anchoring. When the accident occurred the Huron, was 25 miles southwest of Diamond Shoals light vessels, and she will be forced to remain at anchor until some vessel comes to her assistance. The steamer Arapahoe, of the Clyde Line, bound from New York to Char leston and Jacksoncville, heard the wireless calls of the Huron and has tened to her. The two vessels" hap pened to be a comparatively short distance from each other when the wireless calls were sent out, and the Arapahoe was soon alongside the dis tressed steamer. The Arapahoe will remain with her until the arrival of the Navajo, north bound, which has instructions by wire less to tow the Huron to New York. Kills "Friend" And Herself. Cleveland, O., Sept. 26. Because of efforts by her mother to force her to abandon her acquaintanceship with Paul Mueller, a friend of her husband, Mrs. Lawrence Distrel Saturday shot and killed Mueller and then turned her revolver upon herself, inflicting a wound from which she died shortly afterwards. The tragedy occurred early in the morning and was discovered by Distel, a special .officer in. a. city bank, who was aroused by the sound of shots. He rushed to his wife's room, where he found the dead body of Mueller with Mrs. Distel lying at the feet of the corpse in a dying condition. It was at first believed by the police that it was a case of double murder and Distel was arrested, but he was released later. Mrs. Distel was 45 years old and was the mother of two children. Mueller was also married and had two children. Want Prohibition. Raleigh, Sept. 26. The Democrats in this county known as the "ring wing" or "insurgents," met in confer ence here Saturday. They barred all reporters. All those present, with one or two exceptions, were from the coun try. There was much denounciation of Professor Sykes, of Wake Forest College, nominee of the regulars for the Senate, and of Editor Josephus Daniels, of The News and Observer, and Josiah William Bailey, leader of the anti-ring wing of the party. There were cheers at the declaration by ' a Radical delegate that the only thing to do was to nominate an anti-prohi bition ticket. A call was issued for a mass convention next Saturday to nominate a full ticket. Slashed His Throat. ' Charlotte, N. C, Sept. 26. Standing on the curb of one of the principal streets, Theodore McGraw, a young white man about thirty years old, de liberately and coolly drew a knife from his pocket and slashed his throat four times - in an ( effort to take his- life. by-standers rushing up and preventing further efforts. McGraw had been drinking and went to a drug store to buy. laudanum. The druggist refused to make the sale and McGraw begged a friend, saying he wanted to kill him self. ; He was rushed to the hospital and . has a chance of recovery. - He works in a North Charlotte cotton mill and came here from Rock Hill, S. C. -Tampa Victims Were Americans. " Tampa, - Fla., Sept. 26. Records were found in the clerk's office, of the Circuit Court here showing - that Cas lege , Ficarrotta, one of the : men exe cuted, here. last Tuesday night, took out, naturalization papers here - In 1904. Angelo Albano, it: is" asserted, was naturalized at New Orleans three years ago." - DISOBEY R. R. ORDERS Trolley Passenger And Freight Collide SIX ARE KILLED . ! Tipton, Ind., Sept. 26. Disobedience to orders by the crew of a freight car is said to have been the cause Saturday of the second interurban traction wreck within three days iv Indiana. The disaster cost the lives, of six persons, the serious injury of six more and' severe hurts to a score. A southbound freight car crashed head-on into a northbound passenger car on the Indianapolis and Peru divi sion of the Indiana Union Traction Company shortly this afternoon, two miles north of this city. The freight car was in charge of Motorman Lacey and Conductor Sebree. The dead are: ( Dr. W. C. Holthouser, -Brooklyn, N. Y. Walter T. . Holthouser, Brooklyn, N. Y. Verbel Railsback, Hymenia, Ind. Joseph Baker, Motorman on limited car, Logansport, Ind. Lewis Broo, Kokofa, Ind. v "' B. E. Welch, Marshall, Mich. ; The freight car, it is said, had or ders to stop at the first switch north of Resseter's Crossing, but tried to make the first switch south. A clump of trees hid the limited and the crew of the freight barely had time to jump to save their lives. The front end of the limited was shattered and all pas sengers in the smoking compartment were killed. Farmers living in the vicinity of Ressler's crossing heard the crasli and after telephoning into Tipton for physicians, went to the aid of the in jured. Nearby homes were thrown open and the seriously injured made as comfortable as possible until the arrival of physicians. The traction company sent out special cars from Tipton, equipped with cots and the dead and injured were brought to this city. - One of the sad features of the wreck is that of Dr. Holthouser, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who with his brother, Walter H. Holthouser, who was also killed, was on his way to Kokomo, Indiana, to be married to Miss Nellie Coxen, daughter of the secretary of the Great Western Pottery Company, of Kokomo. . The brother was to have been best man at the wedding. Miss Coxen was prostrated when she heard of the death of her fiance. "I guess we over-ran our orders," said Motorman Lacey, of the freight car, who, -with Conductor Sebree, jumped when he saw the limited bearing down upon. them. Just three days ago, almost to the hour, occurred the fatal wreck .near Kingsland, Ind., on the Bluff ton divi sion of the Wabash Valley Traction Company, which caused the death of forty-one persons, with three more still in the hospitals of Fort Wayne, with-barely a chance for recovery. - COTTON.
