ENTIRE LINE COMPLETED NOW Dynamos mad Engine Together With the Cars WiU be Here at Early Date ' Within a few more days, probably two "weeks,-New Bern chizenscan go to and from their homes and places of business on the street cars. Dr. E. C Armstrong, one of the managers of the car line compahy, was interviewed yesterday by a Journal man, and he stated that the entire line had now been completed, . that the contractors had turned the car barn over to them and the Only thing now causing delay was the fact that the dynamos and engine for the power plant had , not arrived. These have been shipped from the man ufacturers and are earoute to ; New Bern and, will be. placed. f the plant immediately after;' theirarNralt W The placing of the dynamos and "engine will require but a" few day's time and-everything, will be in readiness for the operation of the cars which will have arrived by that time. Dr. Arm strong says that the cars may be in operation during the week of the Fair and in fact it is the intention of the management to make every, effort to have them running that week. A number, of prominent citizens have already asked for reservations on the first car ovecth line. RUN DOWN BY TRAIN, LEG HAS TO BE AMPUTATED. A colored man named Neal had both legs so badly mashed-near Choco winity Tuesday morning by the train enroute from this city to Norfolk that amputation was necessary. The man boarded the train at Vanceboro and at Chocowinity got off and started up the the track. After the usual stop at that station the train pulled out jnd within a few minutes gained considerable speed. The engineer saw Neal at a point about half a mile above the station and almost in the centre of the track. He blew the whistle a number of times and when he saw that this had no effect, put on the brakes but the heavy train had so much momentum that it struck the negro before coming to a stop. He-was placed in the bagg age car and carried to Washington and placed in the hospital for treatment. . PIANO AND VIOLIN CLUB OR GANIZED.

It was a battle royal between pitchers and "Matty" showed himself far superior to his opponent in every way and in the eighth inning the latter was taken out of the box and replaced by Wood. The Red Sox made their first run in the seventh inning and in their half of the tenth inning Speaker knocked a home run with a man on base.

J." LEON WILLIAMS, , 0 I 1 NewEcrn.N. C. g EXPULSION TO BE ATTEMPTED Said to Have , Carried on Senate Payrolls Persona. Not Even In Washington . . Washington, Oct, 16.-rSenator Fran cis E. Warren of Wyoming .chairman of the Senate Committee on appropria tions, will be the subject of an investi gation by a committee of the Senate when Congress convenes next December and a determined effort will be made to oust him from that body on the ground that he has misappropriated the funds of the Senate. This decision to make Warren fol low in the footsteps of Lorimer has been reached as a result of a series of conferences between Progressive Republican and Democratic, Senators, Some time ago a number, of serious accusations were"nUd against Warren. Included, in these was the charge that he had carried on the Senate pay rolls a number of his relativesand employes who not only did no work for the Senate, bu.t who were not even in Washington during the time they were receiving their monthly checks from the govern ment. Senator Warren recently made reply to the attack. In this reply he admitted that his relatives and employ es were carried on the Senate pay rolls and that they did not work for the gov ernment but excused himself on the grounds that thesalaries drawn bythem were more than balanced by sums which he had paid out of his own pocket for clerical assistance in connection with government work. Senators who have been waiting for Warren's reply now declare that his excuse is, in effect, a confession that he mis-appropriated the funds of the Senate. These sena tors assert that the misappropriation of the Senate funds furnish sufficient grounds for Warren's expulsion from the Senate. It is declafed that this movement to deprive Warren of his senatorial seat is entirely non-partisan and it. is more than likely that the resolution demanding an investigation will be im mediately after Congress convenes next December. ADDS TWO MORE SCHOOLS. The Southern Shorthand and Busi ness University of Norfolk which has had branches at Newport News and New Bern for some time, is opening this week at Kjnston. At Wilmington it has bought out the Southern Com mercial School. This makes five schools under,-the, same management. The school at New Bern under the direction of Prof. Holmes is .doing exceedingly well and promises to become one of the strongest and best paying business schools in the State. It sounds strange to hear talk of Christy Mathewspn's being too old at :32, but baseball is a young man's game.- . . 7. :V'-M FOR- PREMIUMS Monoplane . Flights daily. HARDY,, the Races, Motorcycle Races; wmm NO ONE WILL GET MAJORITY Democratic Success Predicated on ; Same Republican Spilt That Exists Elsewhere Springfield, III., Oct. 16. If Theo dore Roosevelt carries any one of the Middle Western group of States, he will carry Illinois. No Presidential candidate will get a majority of t he votes of t his State, The 29 electors who win will win by a plural ity. That much can be snatched from the maze of uncertainties in which the politics of Illinois a involved. It is be no means a safe bet that Roosevelt will win. The odds are de cidedly in favor of Wilson. Demo cratic success is -predicated upon the same, split in the. Republican ranks of JUIkni: that obtains, in most .States throughout the country. Normally, not even as attractive a candidate as Wilson could hope to carry Illinois on a Democratic ticket without a revolu tion. The conditions that favor Roosevelt, it must be said are all on ihe surface. The enthusiasts for the most part are for him. The loud-talking and the claim-the-earth element is lined up behind the Bull loose party, and that fact may have served to inflate his chances in the State. It has at any rate led a great host of people to believe that he will run first in, Illinois. This is the inevitable impression gained from talking with the people of Southern Illinois. Tha is the section of the State through which Hiram John son cut his widest swath. . , Democratic leaders in the State, how ever, caution the political cbserver to keep a close watch on the northern part of the State. They say that Chciago, for instance, will go strong for Wilson and that the northern farmers, enraged at the Harvester and Twine Trust oppression, will turn savagely upon Roosevelt. ORGANIZE DEMOCRATIC CLUB. Tuesday night at. Mesic, ico county, a Wilson-Marshall-Craig Club was organized about foty-fivc members being enrolled. During the meeting Judge Carrawan, of Messic, and Mr. Carl L. Daniels, of Bayboro, made short speeches. Mr. A. T. Lincoln was made president of the club and Mr. Frank S. Jones was chosen as secretary. The object of the club isto boost the men after whom it is named and work for their election. DON'T WAIT! Only twelve days remain before the great Eastern Carolina Fair will be opened to the public. During this time the directors of the Fair have much to do and they ask that those who intend making exhibits do not wait until the last minute. All who intend making exhibits who have not already notified the secretary, of the Association should do so without delay. SHORT PASSING EVENTS. . The . Washington Decorating Com pany ,who have secured the building at No. 72 Craven street, have so trans formed the front, of the structure by the -use of flags and bunting that it is a thing of beauty. Mr. W. C, Willett and Captain D. P. Henry returned yesterday morning from New York where they went to purchase several ; large automobiles - which willv.4 bem used - Jn handling the large number of Visitors to the Eastern North" Carolina Fair. The cars will be shipped during the next few days. . MtJ. A Wright ,one of the owners and .'proprietors, ot the. Beaufort - News, was among the .visitors, to the chy yes-' terday. X He said that theJishermen at that place were making unusually large catches of fish just at this time and were finding a ready" hiarket for them, at good- pricts?MS'p. The. football game to be played at the Fair grounds next.-Tuesday - after noon between the- New Bern team and the -Graded School team, wilK be called at-3:30., No admission lee,, will be charged -and the public is extended an invitation to attend. t ; ' The contractors who have charge, of remodeling the" Presbyterian manse on Johnson street are pushing the work forward just as fast as possible and hope to have the building ready for occupan cy during the next three weeks. - . 't :N, INSISTED ON MAKING SPEECH "Don't Hurt the Poor Devil, He Doesn't Know What he Has Done", He Said Chicago, Oct. 16. "I will stand up. I must stand up now if I never do again," were Colonel Roosevelt's words to his cousin, Philip Roosevelt, a mo ment after the would-be assassin's bul let had struck him in front of the Hotel Gilpatrick, at Milwaukee,' Wis. Philip Roosevelt, who was at the Colonel's side begged him to reamin seated in the po sition to which he had fallen at the shot. Philip Roosevelt said that at the shot the Colonel, who was standing and waving hi hat at the moment, wavered and fell to a crouching position on the seat of the automobile. "Sit stilt. .-SU'Stqi, Cousin Theodore," urged Philip. "No, I will stand up. Don't hurt that man. Don't let anyone hurt him. Bring Bring him to me," ordered the Colonel, rising to his feet and speaking in his usual strong vioce. "Don't hurt the Martin, the stenographer who was the hero of the occasion, was still hold ing John Schrank, the assailant, in his grasp. Henry F. Cochems, the pro gressive National Committeeman from Wisconsin, who had jumped in front of the Colonel, turned to him. "He pinked me, Harry; he pinked me," saidlfe Colonel with his hand over the wound in his right breast. "1 got that all right." . "For heaven's sake .Colonel, go to a hospital," said Cochems. "Don't try to speak." "1 will go theie and speak tonight," said Colonel Roosevelt with deliberation "If it kills me. I will speak if I fall on the platform. I have a message to de liver. This may be my last chance to deliver it. I may be- hurt worse than I feel. This may be my last speech. I am strosg now. I want to go right away while I am good lor it." Colonel Roosevelt opened his waist coat and bloody shirt and glanced at the wound. It was a black hole, sur rounded by bruised and bloody flesh. Little blood came from it, which at first semeed to indicate the flow might be internal. No doubt about the Colonel's prompt recovery is entertained by the attend ing surgeons, that is, it they can con vince hi,m of the necessity ol keeping quiet and giving his wound a chance to, heal. Milwaukee, Oct. 16. John Schrank, Col. Roosevelt's assailant, will not be brought to trial until after the election. State's Attorney Zabel so announces, stating that it would be unwise in his opinion to call the case during the final struggle in the Presidential campaign. He believes Schrank to be sane and says that the man should have the full penalty of the law. , 1 TEMPORARILY DERANGED, IN . , JURES HIMSELF. Capt. George Wallace, who resides on Metcalf street, painfully injured him self by striking his head against a wall and throwing himself down a flight of steps yesterday morning while tem porarily demented. Captain Wallace was injured by a fall several years ago and since that time has not been en tirely himself.
