She declared that on Sunday night she was attracted by the howling of a dog whose nose was press ed against the crack under the outer door of Nemmer's attic room. The dog acted as if he had struck a scent and was distressed because he could . not follow it, the woman declared.

The two boys and young Shamshem were at the union station Sunday morn ing, where Nenimer appeared and Sham shem shined the former's shoes.

The average enrollment for the past few years has been from 125 to 150. The committee reported a marked charge in the attitude toward strong drink in that neighboihood the past year.

While it is admitted mat from a number of sources individual contribution of considerable size will be made the decision has been reached that the bluk of the fund is to come from the masses. A sum not less than $500,000 is regarded as necessary to meet the expenses of the campaign. The subject was talked over at length today by Mr. Bryan and former Senator R. F. Pettigrew, of .South' Dakota, a member of the finance committee and tonight with Gov. C. X. Haskell, treas urer of the Democratic national com mittee.

TROUBLE MAY LAST A WHILE Washington, D. C, Aug. 7. Mehmed Ali Bey, the minister from Turkey to this country, is ill at 'the 'Turkish lega tion and is positively ' denied to cal lers, visitors, and inquirers for informa tion about the developments of affairs in Turkey. The legation officials are exceedingly careful in their expression of opinion and in giving out informa tion. 'and so far as they are concerned the only information obtainable is .that contained in the Dress dispatches. As denials or additional Tight The impression,' however, ' is very definite that the agents of Abdul Hamid in this country are in a condition of something like panic, utterly uncertain what the developments for their own country may mean for them personally. Mdiined Ali Bey, worried, uncertain, unable to understand what it may all mean, has taken to his bed. It is known that under the old regime he represent ed the conseuvative forces and politics, if not, indeed, the reactionaries. Today, from all that can be gathered in Wash ington diplomatic circles, lie doesn't know whether the policy of the Porte has permanently changed; whether he is expected suddenly to become a pro gressive or whether the progressive movement is a mere play to the de mands of a present situation at toorue, which will be succeeded at the right moment by a reactionary wave moro powerful than any yet experienced.

GREENSBORO GOES TO THE TOP OF THEjOLOMfJ Rain Interferes at Winston-Salem But Patriots Take One Game by Score 4 to 1. JROW IN WINSTON STARTS OVER BANNER Greensboro Fans Went Into Grand stand Carrying Banner Winston Fans Grab It and Scuffle Follows No One Seriously Hurt. Steadily and persistently . the "Pa triots" continue to climb the hill on which the pennant of : the Carolina League is flying. By defeating Winston Salem yesterday in the hardest sort of a fight, Cireensboro resumed her place at the top of the column and placed to her credit the ninth of the last ten games which she has played. This is truly a remarkable record and such a good one that the fans are asking themselves, "Cm it hold out?" Luck favored the "Patriots" yester day though, in that Spartanburg and Greenville, after righting a battle royal for fifteen innings, like the Kilkenny eats, wore themselves to a frazzle and had to quit without either side win ning. The result of this South Caro lina battle left Greensboro at the top with a percentage of .578, (Jreenville with .575 and Spartanburg .553. The "Patriots" are playing great ball these days, playing an errorless game yesterday and making only one the day before. Th players themselves are deep ly interested in the progress of the strug gle for the championship and filled with ,the determination that only athletes in the death struggle can experience. They realize that but one team can win the prize and having fought their way so splendidly to the front rank amid the strongest opposition, they mean to be that team. To say that the people of Greensboro are crazy about their team is putting it mildly. From three o'clock yesterday to six-thirty all along Elm street, where ever bulletins of the game we e display ed, crowds of men stood and with nerves all in a tingle, waited to see the news. Even.: the' rain that came down in a heavy shower, could not drive them j away; standing in doorwavs and under umbrellas they accepted tne ram witti resignation, and after the Greensboro Wmston game was over they waited un til Spartanburg and Greenville had fin ished. It mav be love of sport, local pride, baseballltis, or what not, but the people of Oreensboro have certainly got it. Two hundred of them, male and female, old and young, went to the Twin City yesterday to see tfie contest and as many will go today. : Box score: Greensboro. Anthony, If . . . .
