DAILY INDUSTRIAL OTWS. SATUBDAT. AUGUST. IS. 1908 m WILL BE RBRESTED DM MUBDER CHARGE Frank Smith, of Noted Smlthtown, Charged With Killing Rea, V at Stuart. Va. ' The way of the transgressor is bard, at least this will probably be the view which Frank Smith will take of the matter today when his time at the coun ty jail expires. Frank Smith, a member of the far famed Smith family, of Smithtown, Stokes county, was brought here by United States marshals last winter from South Dakota, whither he had fled fnr refiiffB. He was tried in Federal Court and got a short sentence to jail for blockading. , Smith's term expires today, but there will be probably little pleasure to him in the fact, for no sooner will the doors of the jail open for him than Chief of Police Neeley will arrest him for be ing a fugitive from justice from the State of Virginia. Yesterday Chief Neeley received a tel egram from Commonwealth's Attorney B, E. Woolwine, of Stuart, Va., saying that Smith js wanted there on the charge of having murdered John D. Rea, of that place, in the year 1905. ; ., Acting on these instructions, Frank Smith will be arrested by the chief of police,, and after a hearing before the mayor, will doubtless be held to await the arrival of the Virginia officers. PRESIDENT WILL THE AMERICAN Continued From First Page.) John C. Carpenter, of Cornell Universi tv, who was disqualified after finishing first in the 400-meter race, returned to New York today on the steamer Majes tic. In relating his version of the much discussed incident of the race, Carpen ter said: "I have no recollection of having touched Lieutenant Halswelle at all. I feel keenly the injustice of having been disqualified for alleged unfair tactics. I did nothing to warrant my disquali fication." . Carpenter asserted that he had wit i nesses of the race who would substan- tiate everything he had said about the matter. . Among others of the athletes on board the Majestic were Forrest Smithson, who won the. 110-meter hurdle race, breaking the world's record; J. A. Rec tor, who finished second in the 100-meter race; Harry Hillman, who finished second in the 100-meter hurdle: E. T. Cook, who tied with Gilbert in the pole vault; W. W, Borroughs, of Chicago, and M. A. Griffin, of Indiana. At a meeting tonight the committee having in charge the details of the re ception to the athletics, decided to in vite Mrs. Roosevelt and the Roosevelt children to view the ceremonies on Au gust 29 from a stand to be erected at the city hall. Acting Mayor McGowan will send the invitation in behalf of the city to Sagamore Hill tomorrow. At tonight's meeting it was suggested that Governor Hughes bestow the gold medals upon the eighty-odd Olympic ath letes, and to make a speech of presen tation. Arrangements have been con cluded by the music committee to have 1,500 singers at the city hall. "My Coun try, Tis of Thee," will be sung to the accompaniment of ten massed bands. FURSGN WHO ElOPED IS GOT OF JAIL AFTER THREE YEARS (Continued From First Page.) eively and even gladly made way for the other. With Pastor Cordova things did not work out so smoothly. His wife, the mother of several little children, could not comprehend the fine points of 1 the new idea. In her eyes it was un j faithfulness, calling for the action of the law, when her own tearful pleadings 1 Jailed to convince the pastor of the error of his ways. The girl in the Cordova ease was Miss ' upectftJl familv in South River. N. , I. She was a choir singer in the church of which Cordova was pastor. In the course of time the fondness of the pastor for the pretty young choir singer became so apparent as to cause comment. Some of the leaders of the church dropped quiet I hints to the pastor reminding him of 1 his indiscretion. But the hints re 1 mained unheeded, and Cordova was re moved from his pulpit and Miss Browne no longer sung in the choir. One day he and Miss Browne disnp- peared Irom the village, the pastor leav- Jng his wife and children destitute. He j was found by a few friends who still etood by him and persuaded him to re I turn to his forgiving wife. But it was I not long until the pair again eloped, and 1 this time all trace of them was lost for weeks. Neighbors cared for the deserted i family, while the police sought the miss ing pair. Finally they were found in an obscure hotel in New York city. The girl was in a delicate condition. Cordova had the alternative of leaV' Ing the girl forever and returning to his family or to face imprisonment for his misdeeds. He chose the latter course. After a short but sensational trial, he was found guilty and sentenced to five , years in prison. This term, less the pe riod taken off for good conduct, ended i this morning. ' According to reports, Cordova expects to make Newark his future home. Miss , Browne, it is said, is waiting for him in retirement with her child at Ocean ' Grove. Cordova sayt he expects now to t "happy." Sweets to the i BASEBALL it .,,...,..-. STANDING OF THE CLUBS EASTERN CAROLINA LEAGUE. Won. Lost. P.C. Wilmington. . Wilson .. .. Goldsboro ..

The directors of the Young Women's Christian Association arc negotiating for a boarding home for young women. The property has been selected and the deal practically consummated, but the texact location has not yet been made public. One of the officers of the association said yesterday afternoon that the homo will be located near eaough to the busi ness section of the city for the women who work in stores ami offices to take their lunch at the home, besides being a convenient location for a boarding home. It is the purpose of the Young Women's Christian Association to pro vide a home for young women who come to the city as strangers a home where young women may be sheltered from the temptations that often lead them down to their ruin, and a place where Christian influences may be felt. At a meeting of the directors held yes terday afternoon at the Carnegie library it was decided that Wednesday of fair week shall be designated as "tag day." A resolution was transmitted from the board of managers of the Centennial deeming it not advisable to have a "tag day" during the Centennial. The women are not disposed to be ro.oted out en tirely, but they postpone the "tag day" until the Centennial is over and will not bother the wisacres who cannot tolerate i, . . .. to the women, pasttime that will prove profitable mis is the novel method the women have ad ted to fundg to M fa thc prosetion of their work. Hundreds o young women wiM i,e provided with taSs representing ditTercnt amounts of , . ti, .? ...;n k a 1. money, the men will be tagged for such amount as the women think they should give to help along their cause, lt will be a dishonor to be untagged and the tag will represent the amount which has been contributed. OF COMMERCE GETS AN APPROPRIATION (Continued from First Page.) some later date and that he will have evidence to prove the truth of the alle gations. J. L. King moved that a hear ing of the matter be postponed to the next regular meeting to look into the situation. The motion was carried. A.fter this the question of making an appropriation for the chamber of com-, nierce came up and consumed some time in its consideration. M. W. Thompson spoke in favor of the 11 propria t ion, say ing that the organization is carrying a heavy debt and that it cannot success fully carry on its work without help. Speeches along this line were also made by R. C. Hood, E. J. Justice, E. P. Wharton and W. E. Harrison. Alderman McLean made a motion that the city give the $500 and make a note for the amount,' to be paid January 1. Alderman King said that he had no objection to the appropriation, in fact, he would like to see a larger one made if the city could afford it, but ie did not think it proper for the city to as sume any further debts at present. He said that since the new board had come in, it had tried to get rid of the load of debt left by the last board and has suc ceeded in taking up the floating debt by means of a bond issue and that it has been a hard struggle to get the city on its feet. Mr. King said that it will be neccessary to borrow money to pay the running expenses of the c'ity as it will be some time before this year's taxes are available. He is opposed to making any unnecessary debts. Alderman Glascock said that there seemed to be a popular demand that the board do something for the chamber of commerce and that some money had to lie spent for advertising.. He thought this a good way to spend it.' Mr. King said it would take all the surplus money the city had to lay new sidewalks. It is true that property owners will pay bacK this money, but it will take some time to get: it. Alderman Bain took about the same position on the appro priation that Mr. King did. . When the proposition was put to a vote, Alder men Glascock and McLean voted ave and Aldermen Bain and King no, Mayor Brandt casting the deciding vote, aye. .r. W. Fry and J. A. Odell, members of the board of cemetery trustees, sub mitted a proposition looking to the pur chase of a strip of land in the vicinity of Greene Hill cemetery. There was much consideration and discussion of the matter, but final action on it was post poned until next Thursday evening, when a called meeting of the board will be held at 8.30. ,T. A. Odell, whose term as cem etery trustee expired May 31, was re elected for a period of three years. J. A. Odell brought to the attention of the board the matter of excessive blow ing of whistles by locomotives. The question was referred to the mayor and chief of police. ' : M. W. ihompson, O. M. Vanstory and T. A. Hunter appeared before the board as representatives of the board of man agers of the Centennial and asked that improvements to East Sycamore Rtreet be made, so as render the approach to the auditorium more attractive. The question was referred to the street committee. A' report of the treasurer of the city library for quarter just passed was read, received and filed. ' A monthly report- of the chief of po lice, which showed that collections for fines in the month of July amounted to $224, was read and - referred . to the police commission. . . The new sidewalk ordinance was adopted by unanimous roll-call. Misses Sadie Stern and Mozella Olive are spending some time at the Mt, Airy White Sulphur Springs. ; BQAR0I1 BASEBALL LINGERS IN - THE MEMORY OF FANS Loctl Fans Say Green vine Shows Weakness in Express ing Temerity of Meeting Ps triots in All Games Scheduled. "Ge, But This Is ft Lonesome Town," is the chorus -ot the street since-the end ing of the Carolina League baseball sea son. There was many a lonely expres sion on the fades of those who have for several weeks ben regular attendants at the ball park or faithful spectators in front of the bulletin boards when games were being- played in other towns. "How is business?" and "what is the political news?" is not taking like the proverbial "hot cakes." There is a ling ering desire for baseball gossip and it will be several days before the politi cians will be able to havet hings coming their way.; There is little interest in the Republican primaries to be held to day or the county convention to be held Monday, but by the time these events are pulled off and candidates nominated for the various county offices, baseball will be marching toward the back Beat. James McKevitt, who has. so success fully managed the team of "Patriots" this year, will probably manage the team for the next season. With the ex ception of Walsh and Walters the play ers are already, signed and it is under stood that Walsh has signified his will ingness to again be the star player, not only of the Greensboro team, but of the entire league. There is some comment on the .story that Greenville is protesting the game she won because she di dnot want to play a double-header. The action is strongly condemned by some as being unprofessional, while others look upon the matter as a joke. If Greenville had lot the game they protested against playing, there would lie some semblance of excuse for kicking, say a number of fans. Others are inclined to critize Greenville for loading up on the best players of the disbanded South aCrolina league with the hope of winning the pennant. A man interested in the Rock Hill team, which ownes James, who play- WAS PROBABLY SAVED FROM HORRIBLE DEATH WOMAN CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO CARS OF MOVING TRAIN RES CUED BY C R. NORMAN. A woman, whose name was not learn ed, was probably saved from a horrible death yesterday afternoon by Charles R. Norman. Train No. 36 was pulling out i'.-im the passenger station when a middle aged lady attempted to get aboard the train. She missed the step and caught between the cars. Mr. Norman had just stepped from the train when he saw the danger the woman was in. He seized her in his arms and placed her safely on the mov ing train. THE PENNANT WINNERS GOOD STEADY OLD HEADS (Spartanburg Herald.) "The tumult and the shouting dies The captains and the kings depart." And Greensboro's got the coon and gone on. This last sentence isn't so Kiplingesque, but just as expressive. That bunch of Pop McKevitt's quit top notchers by a dangerously narrow mar gin, Wednesday just two points. Tak ing two of the four games with Green ville cinched the flag. . It is interesting to note how near Charlotte came to fourth place. By de feating Winston three straights in the final series the Hornets lacked just one point of tying the Twins for fourth place. Charlotte strengthened her team the last few weeks of the league and they played game, scrappy ball in the wind up. Now that the flag goes to "Pop" Mc Kevitt's old heads, all the fans and dopesters can figure out just how it happened and the whys and wherefores of our losing out. But the pennant went to the team who fairly won it by good, steady ball playing. The fallowing extract relative to Greensboro, is from the Charlotte Ob server: The Patriots have played a mag nificent game for four weeks, winning about twenty-one out of twenty-six games. Up to that time they see-sawed with Winston for the position of third place. When they finally got a streak, it never broke and the wave has borne them on to their position today. iSo one thing has brought the victory, but several things combined made Greensboro a hard team to beat. One of the best assets the team had during the entire season was its coolness and deliberation on the field. It suffered no dissensions such as often mark the career of an aggregation of younger ball play ers, particularly those who have not been many years from college. Under the able generalship of McKevitt, back ed by the determination and steadiness of Hicks at short. Cook at third and Red Walsh behind the bat, there is, af ter all, 110 great amount of wonder over the outcome. Walsh deserves the credit largely for the numerous successes of the pitching staff of the team. He is head and shoulders above any catcher in the league and gave his pitchers inestimable backing. ; Greenville stayed at the top the larger part of the season, but suffered a slump from the effects of which they never recovered. Their pitohers weakned as the season advanced, the team stopped winning games so successively as at the beginning and despite he fact that they are the best hitQa and best fielders in the league, they lost -out in the final lap of the struggle. More hits have been secured off Greenville's pitchers than any others in the league and a large part of tne story u 101a mere. Fariss-Klutz "POP" M'KEVITT, Who Will Likely Manage "Patriots" . Another Season. ed for Greenville in all four of the games of the last series, offered to sell him to Greensboro, saying that Rock Hill would sell him to enable the club to make ends meet financially. It is pointed out that this is in violation of thejctiles of the na tional association and subpjects all the games of the last series to be forfeited to Greensboro. Greensboro fans say they want junst what they won and no more, but if Greenville wants to kick, she may pro ceed to her satisfaction. Local fans are proud of the fact that they won the championship, . notwithstanding the Greenvilla team, the second best team of the league, was suplimented by the best players of the South Carolina league. The claim that it is a compli ment to the Patriots that Greenville, notwithstanding ; her reinforcements, feared to meet the Patriots in the full number of games due to be played.

He shut off the motor at a height of seventy five feet, and endeavored to float down ward. The teal cause of the accident- was the attempt to land exactly on the spot of his departure. In lifting the planes at the last moment in order to continue the gliding progress, he pulled the left plane too sharply. The damage can be repaired easily, although because of the absence of the necessary material the work will re quire several days. Among the spectators today were Miss Morgan, daughter of J.

All is .not gold that glitters, and all is not water that comes out of a spring, according to an analysis received here by the board of health of some mineral water which has been sold on the Greensboro market. : Many people in Greensboro, and prob ably elsewhere, in summer drink min eral waters in preference to the water furnished them by the city government, thinking that they are getting a pure article. Some days ago the board of health of this city sent a sample of Moore's Spring mineral water to Raleigh for analysis, and hen the analysis was received here yesterday it. showed that the water contained 10,000 colon bacilli to the cubic centimeter of water. The board of health immediately ordered the sale of the water, which was quite extensive here, so it is said, to be stopped. ' The spring in question, so it is said by those who know, is in a low place, and when a heavy rain conies it is over flowed, and thus the impurities find their way into the water. It is understood that the city board of health will have samples of various other mineral waters analyzed. NEGRO SHOT BY PuLICEJFFICEfl Henry Rhodes Gives Wild Per formance and Runs When Of ficers Approach. Mayor Brandt held a special session of police court yesterday afternoon for the purpose of trying Henry Rhodes, a negro about twenty-three years old, 011 the charge of an assault with a deadly weapon. The evidence show. ,1. in fact the ne gro admitted on the witness stand, that he is a coca in fiend. Thursday afternoon Henry gave an open performance out in East Market street something similar to an Indian war dance, except he was minus a tom ahawk and had only a scalping knife.
