Retiring President of The North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs I E Claud Gibbs Colored Lying Point of Death As Result Of Wound. at HIS ASSAILANT MAKES ESCAPE The Inevitable Woman In The Case Was The Cause Of The Affair. As a culmination of a feeling of jeal ousy which has existed between the two men, for sometime, Claude Gibbs, colored, had his throat cut from ear to ear yesterday afternoon by Henry Spencer, also colored, and is lying at the point of death while the local po lice are making every effort to capture his assailant. The affair took place at the home of Lavinia Jefferson, No. 7 Green street, shortly after 2:30 o'clock. According to the statement of the Jefferson woman, Gibbs was asleep on a couch in her hoive when Spencer came in. Seeing the sleeping n a:i, Spencer drew a knife or some other sharp instrument from his pocket and slashed the other's throat. Immediately after this Spencer ran from the house aid although seen sev fral times after this, the police failed to locate him and it is believed that he walked through the country to some of the nearby towns and boarded a freight train. Gibbs' condition is critical and the attending physician has but little hope for his recovery. The weapon narrowly n issed the jugular vein and the wound is a horrible one. The, authorities in all the nearby towns have b.-en asked to keep a watch for the fugitive and the police hope to hive him behind the bars within a day or two.

Jingley, of Charoltte and Miss M. L. Gibson of Wilmington, ex-presldents. and Miss Royster1 of Raleigh., THROA GUT FROM EAR TO OTHER -' , IT ' - t" . i 1 , -1 y:; i '.y Government Considering Locating Such A Place In Or Near New Bern. NEAREST IS AT EDENTON Would Be Of Great Benefit To This Section In Num erous Ways. There is every probability that at an early date the government will estabtish a fish hatchery in or near New Bern. During the past few years a great part of the fish hatched at the govern ment hatchery located at Edenton has been brought to New Bern and vicinity. During the past two weeks nearly a million white shad "fry" have been brought from that place and "planted" in the waters in this section. W. H. Ramseur of Beaufort, who is connected with the hatchery at Edenton was among the visitors in the city Thursday and he gave out the informa tion that it is understood by the men at the Edenton station that a new hatchery will be placed in this vicinity. Each year millions of fish are placed in the waters of Neuse, Trent and New rivers and as conditions exist at pre sent, it is neceasi-ry to transport these fish quite a distance before they can be "planted. With a hatchery in or near New Hern this condition would be remedied. No, Cordelia, we don't blame you for the opinion you have of a man who has occasion to consult a beauty doc tor.

(Special to the Journal) Washington, D. C, May 8. Amid a great demonstration by the Demo crats of the House of Representatives and the throngs of onlookers in the galleries the House this afternoon evening at 6:15 o'clock passed the bill revising the tariff downward by the vote of 231 to 139. The bill passed practically as it came from the Ways and Means Committee with free wool, free sugar in three years, income tax, free meat, free Hour and sweeping reductions in livestock and manufactured articles. Champions of the bill predict that within two months the bill will have been approved by the Senate and sign ed by the President making it the law of the land. The Senate Finance Committee hast been considering the bill informally for a month. Senator Simmons of North Carolina, chairman, divided his committee into three sections and these sub-committees have been study ing the various schedules and sections of the measure so as to be able to re port to the full committee with recom mendations as soon as pjssible. MENTALLY DERANGED COLOR ED MAN PLACED IN JAIL. Church Cobb, colored, of Dover, was brought to this city yesterday and placed in the Craven county jail. Cobb is mentally deranged and he will be held here until arrangements can be made to get him in the insane aslyum at Goldsboro. About two years ago he was in a mill accident and was badly injured and since that time he has shown numerous evidences of lunacy. TAKEN UP SOON CASE OF INTEREST HERE TO BE DISPOSED OF IN RALEIGH MAY 26. On Monday May 26, the wholesale liquor firm of F. Westheimcr Sons & Company of Cincinnati, will appear before the Federal Court at Raleigh and show why forty-three barrels of whiskey now being held in this city by the government sliou'd not be con demned. This whiskey was shipped to New Bern several months ago by this firm and was consigned to one J. II. Smith. George Seals, colored, who at the last term of Federal Court in I his city was sentenced to the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., for a term of eighteen months, was proven to be the man who had taken similar shipments of whiskey from the depot . When Seals was placed under ar rest the revenue officers confiscated this whiskey and removed it from the Norfolk Southern depot. It is under stood that the firm who shipped the whiskey here will make every effort to regain possession of it and will be represented by a long array of legal talent. If the government proves that the shippers knew that the whiskey was being sent to a man who was order ing it under an assumed name they will condemn and confiscate the entire shipment. This is the first case of this particular kind to occur in North Carolina and the final result is being awaited with considerable interest. NOTICE TO AUTOMOBILE OWN ERS. All those owning automobiles and , willing to use them for the pleasure and convenience of the visiting club . ladies are requested to have their car at the Elks' Temple corner this after- . noon at 2:30 o'clock and assist in con- r veying the members of the Federation ; to the wharf of the Revenue Cutter Pamlico.
