After perfecting concrete plans for future . roacltvea, the conference of govern- ora adjourned today to meet at one of . the State capitals on a dale between Thanksgiving day and Christmas of the current year, the exact time and .place to be determined by a commit' tee, which was appointed. The final session of the conference were marked by a divergence of friewa among the governors as to the wisdom of the :St ate. executives as body passing resolutions for or gainst any given proposition. Sev eral irovernors maintained that the greatest good would be accomplished by a eourageos and definite stand up on great publie questions, while oth ers claimed that the conferences were in the nature of a school for the gov ernors, where each learned the ex perience of his fellows. Eventually all resolutions calling for a formal ex pression of opinion by the governors as a body were in abeyance. A sub-committee of the league of self-supporting women of New York submitted a statement to the confer ence recommending that the present status of women in the separate States be one of the topics for a full discussion at the next meeting of gov. emors. The conference unanimously adopt' ed the report of the committee on plan ai.d scope, which was submitted by Governor Hughes, of New York. The report recommended that an an nual meeting of governors be held be tween Thanksgiving day and Christ mas at one of the State capitals; that a .committee of arrangements, consist ing ofOovernors Wilson of 'Kentucky, Hadley of 'Missouri, and Ansel of South Carolina, "be appointed to se lect the place . and prepare for the meeting; that this committee be em powered to appoint subcommit tees and emplaye a secretary and that the expenses incurred be apportioned among the States accord ing to population. . Among those who addressed the con ference were Governors Ansel, of South Carolina, and Governor Comer, of Alabama. Governor Ansel discuss ed extradition, and after giving a brief review of the law and decision of courts Li. regard to the subject of extradition, declared that from these decisions he had concluded that ' ' there is but one question of fact that the executive must pass upon, and that is whether the person charged is a fugitive from justice. "If that fact appears to his satis faction," added "and the requistion papers show upon the face of them that the other requirements of the constitution and the act of Congress have been complied with, then maintain that he has no alternative but to honor the requistion made and issofl hi extradition warrant to the agent of .the State making the de mand."

'More trouble in the customs services here came to lijjht Tuesday night. Everybody around the Federal Building is reticent, but the disclos ures mar bare a system Which will rank with the sugar eases. Under valuing automobiles is the new game Joseph 1'. .vidfrath, a young cus toms clerk, is especially charged with having defrauded the overnment out of $450 by deducting $1,000 from the value of a ear which arrived in New York November 2(i. The machine, according to the appraiser's certifl cate, was valued at 41,850, but Mc Ornlli, it is alleged, entered this to read !f8.10. The duty on automobiles is 45 per cent, and valorem, hence the government stood to lose exactly $450. If many other cars have been brought in unried this alleged fraudlent ar rangement, thousands of dollars have been lost to the Federal authorities. MeGrath was arraigned before a United States Commissioner tonight and held in $1,000 bail for examine tion for next Tuesday. Assistant United iSlates District Attorney Walton, who had charge of the prosecution, declined te give out any information concerning the evi dence the Government has discovered other than to say it was "an import ant matter," and that there would be "sensational developments." He in timated t bat others would be implic ated. It lias not been brought out as yet for whom the alleged undervaluing was done. The ear in question was consigned to Alexander Hollander & Co., of this city. Charles W. Buun, an assistant ap praiser, is credited with having no tieuil'lhr lretionr.!r- the record which brought about MoOrath's ar rest. Thus, if this new phase of cus toms scandals becomes as important as predicted, Bunn will be entitled to a reward, as was Richard Parr, the original informer of frauds. WANTS ROOSEVELT TO TO GO TO CONGRESS. Washington, I). C, Jan. 20. Thai Theodore Roosevelt has agreed to run for Congress in the first district of New York State, with the understand ing that he will be supported among members of the House and Senate. Representative Cook is willing to step aside, it is said, in order to make room for the former President. Sev eral memebrs of the New York dele gation are avowedly in favor of his candidacy while others think it would be a good plan to keep him from caus ing trouble in New York. According to a report, President Taft is aware of the plan and will be present at the reception in New York when Roose velt ret urnes in June to welcome him, Uncle Joe Disturbed. Washington, D. C, Jan. 20. The latest rumor disturbing Uncle Joe Cannon is that Theodore Roosevelt on his return from Africa will be Speak er of the House of Representatives. According to the rumor Roosevelt will have Taft's support for this po sition. The story says a magmfleerrt reception is planned for Roosevelt up on his return. The speakership boon will be launched then- Roosevelt is said to have told friends that the speakership is "the most important post in the Federal Government. . SOUTHERN MILLS ARE , BUYING FUTURES. MJ SakLAlao That They Will De- . ; 'Tnana iMimry. Savapnah) Go Jan. 20. Savannah brokers received reports today that Southern mills ' were, baying .heavily of eotton future : contracts in New York and would demand deliveries. A considerable amount was 'said to be for January delivery. By this mean the mill are enabled to take advant age of the lower prices of futures, spot eotton in the Southern jnarkits having failed to deelin to "anything like a corresponding degree. A NEW YORK EAST - , ' ; SIDE TRAGEDY u 4 A Well to-Do Italian Barber, , Hi wife and Middle-Axed Woman the Victim. i New York, Jan. 20. A triple mur der was revealed in an obscure flat in the heart of New York' East Side at Nos. 10 and 12 Montgomery street, at dusk today. Two women and a man are victims, and the manner of deal h was horrible. Gagged with ;silk handkerchiefs, and their heads crush ed with a hammer or an axe, they were left bleeding and fully dressed on the floor with a whimpering ull terrior as companion for the dead. Robbery was the motive or else il is another black hand case. Sanatore Scalpone, a well-to-do Italian barber, his wife and a middle aged woman, believed to have been Mrs. Scalpone 's mother, were the vic tims. His failure to appear at his shop today started an investigation which resulted in the discovery of the crime. Police summoned by the jan itor of the apartment entered the locked flat by way of the fire escape. Inthe kitchen Scalpone's body was found. It was tied to the door, the face battered beyond recognition and lying in a great smear of blood. Near his master stood the whining bull dog, cowering and blood splattered. The animal had paced aimelessly from body to body, sniffed one and then the other, staining the floor crimson with' his foot prints and waiting for human aid. In the next room were the bodies of the women, gaged as was the man, the handkerchiefs similarly knotted and the heads battered as if the same instrument had been used on all three. But no weapons with which such wounds could have been inflict ed was found in the flat. Inspection by the ollleers revealed diro confu sion ; drawers were dumped out, cup boards ransacked, mattresses ripped open and every conceivable hiding place for money or valuables pried open. In a little hallway last traces of the murderer or murderess were found. There concealed under a po tato sack was a basin half filled with bloody water, a blood-stained vessel and a pair of overalls, also blood spattered. The water had probably been crimsoned as the slayer washed his hands before scarcely locking the apartment and making his escape by the fire escaie. Whoever took the three lives work ed quietly, else next door neighbors are confused in their statements. It was late last night that the crime was committed, for Scalpone worked ns usual in his shop until 10 o'clock. Joseph Jingle, Scalpone's assistant barber, alarmed at the failure of bis employer to appear for work today, gave the -first clue to the murder. He called at the flat late this afternoon, found it locked, and summoned the Janitor. The two tried the door, but with no avail. Then the police were called, and by the familiar fire escape entrance stood aghast before the three lifeless form. The police are of the opinion that more than one person took part in the aurder, for with the bull dog on guard and three persons to cope with, one man would have been powerless. Also examination showed that Scalpone' body had been dragged from the dining room to the kitchen, where it was tied. There is no direct clue, however, to the mur derers. ' SERVICES CONTINUING. Strong and Forceful Sermons by, a Most Earnest Man at First Presby terian Church.' Rev. R. C Anderson ia continuing to preach strong and thoughtful ser mons at the First Presbyterian church, afternoon and evenings. The attendance on these meetings is on the increase and the interest grows with each service. Mr. Anderson is one of the most thoughtful and force ful preacher heard in . Concord and hi sermons are of the kind that do good. The publie i cordially invited ty attend? the 'meeting. There is preaching ,m the .afternoon at 4 o'clock and again in the evening at 7 o'clock. FROM THE SEAT OF WAR, North Carolina Pi Hunters Strike the Home Base. Asheville Gazette-News. One by one North Carolinians are returning from tho national capital, where they went to get a line on the patronage situation. All are hoping for the best, but few of them apiear to know anything for certain. Dcvel opments appear lo confirm a local news slorv which was published in this paper a few days ago, which in timated that lit tie violence had char acterized the contest in which, from the point of view of the groundings, Messrs. Roliiml and Rollines have en gaged. In so far as this mountain section is concerned the frame-up is still Logan for marshal, Rollins for postmaster and Roland for if not sometliin:: equally as good then for the best thing to be had with all hands pulling together. This, it is pointed out, would insure a fair dis tribution of balm and the emoluments ;if office among those who feel that they have reason to exjeet recogni tion and, in the event lie is able to find safe deliverance from the Bill more affair, Mr. Grant might find comparatively smooth sledding in the direction of a second congressional nomination. A few outs, it is true, may here and there have the temerity to ask what has become of the Grant, no-third-term, battle cry, which won for him the nomination and subse quent election; but that is a detail which mav he cared for bv time and a judicious distribution of garden seeds. CAUCUS NOMINEES WERE RATIFED BY THE HOUSE. Washington, 1). C, Jan. 2.0 Ignor ing the protests of the Democratic members the Republican majority in the House today raitfled their caucus nominees for the" Ballingcr-Pinchot investigating committee, displacing Representative Rainey, of Illinois, one of the Democratic selections, and nam ing in his stead Representative Llyod, of Missouri, who indicated his unwill ingness to serve on the committee. Consideration of the urgent de ficiency until tomorrow after three hours debate. The Senate had a brief session, the only incident of which was a speech by Senator Bradley, of Kentucy, in which he defended Kentucky, and charged that the "tobacco trust" was responsible for the acts of vio lence which had been perpetrataed by the sn-ealled nightriders in that State. At 1:26 p. m. the Senate adjourned until -Monday, but the House remain ed in session until 5:05 p. m. Jury in Lange Caae Unable to Agree on Verdict. Lexington, Jan. 20. After being out since 'Monday morning, the jury in the case of John A. Lane against the Southern Railway, was discharged this afternoon, unable to agree. The jury stood seven to five against giv ing damages for alleged personal in juries. No jury in recent years has been hung so long in Davidson coun ty. The ease is a Rowan suit. VOIfT THINK Of A .
