Governor .Sulzer and his Counsel were at the parting of , the ways were de nied emphatically tonight by D. Cady Herrick, chief of Staff. Herrick broke his "silence" only after a story had gone ; broadcast that several ; of th . attorneys -would withdraw until- the case Monday. "There is not a word of truth in the story,'' Herrick said. "We shall : be on hand Monday and, so far as I know, every other day.ntiljthe trial ends." Herrick also denied that counsel and the governor are at loggerheads over the story Sulzer insists he will tell from- the : witness stand. It - was re ported the governor's plan of throwing down the bars and laying bare his po litical career was distasteful to his attorneys. : . , . : How long will it require the defense to complete its case not even Judge Herrick. is willing to guess. Much depends on how far the pre ; siding judge permits, the governor to go with his story. If he tells it in full, - as he would prefer to do, he may be on tlie stand -two daysr Subpoenas have been issued for 50 witnesses for the defense and if all of them are called the governor's side of the case will not be completed during the next court week. . . - The strain jof the long trial is tel- . ling on the governor. "Now that I am in the fight," he said to a friend today, "I am going on to the end, let come what will. I am go ing to tell my story in my own way, Mine will be an astounding narrative and when I have completed it and the Whole truth jt the manner in which political bosses have tried to coerce men and failed is known, every decent man and woman in this State will be with me, despite what the impeach ment court may do. , ' . , EXECUTI BE DELAYED LEO FRANK MAY NOT BE ELEC TROCUTED NEXT WED t " NESDAY MORNING. , Oil Ml .

Of The Features Of -' -V ' .The Diay.V , Barnum and Bailey's circus, one of the greatest aggregations'- of its kind in the world, exhibited in New Bern yesterday and it is estimated that more than fifteen thousand people witnessed the two performances and the verdict of each 'and every one was that it was the best they had ever seen. - The big show arrived shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday morning from Rocky Mount, N. C, where it had exhibited on the . previous day. The train was composed of four sections of twenty- two cars each. As usual there was a large crowd ' on ' hajid to watch the circus' unload, and this crowd was not by any-means composed entirely of youngsters. Within an hour after the show's arrival the scene at the grounds near Ghent Park was a scene of activity and long before 8 o'clock one or more tents had , been erected. The parade was scheduled to take place at 10 o'clock but this was delayed for a short time on account of the late arrival in the city. The line of march led down Pollock street through- the business section of the city and thence up Broad to Queen and to the circus grounds. The streets along . the line of march were literally packed with humanity. The parade, like the performance, was undoubtedly the most gorgeous pectacle ever witnessed in New Berm Unlike the majority of parades put on by many circuses, the Barnum and Bailey parade is clean and attractive and is worth going miles to see. Tnepfternoon perf ormace was sched - CROWDED GRADES ' TO BE SEVERALL CHANGES ARE TO BE . MADE AT NEW BERN , GRADED SCHOOLS. On Monday a number of the crowded grades in the City Schools will be divi ded into two Or more sections. The firsts section : will report at 9 o'clock and remain until 12:15 and the second ' section will come at 12:45 and remain until 4 p. m. ; . The grades . thus divided are the beginners 1st grade, the 2B grade and the 4A grade. 1 ,7 K f ' It is hoped . that this arrangement can be worked witlkout friction, 'and thus the Crowded conditions in these grades, be remedied - for the .present as there is no prospect for the new school building during this school year. The arrangement is not the best but .appears to be the only feasible plan under the present situation.' ' uled to start at two o'clock,' but lore before that hour the huge tent was tl most filled and when the performance started there.', were s but few "vacant seats. ' ' There were so many things to engage the attention of the spect, -tors that it is almost an impossibility to describe all of them. Three rings, three platforms and a huge stage were used during the performance, yrobably the most gorgeous feature of the circ was '"Cleopatra. "..'.This 'Was presented 6n a huge tage and' more than five hundred people, a ; hundred horses and many c'kmels were used during the two acts.,' Everyone is familiar with the tory of Cleopatra and Marc Antony and to relate it again would be taking too much of the reader's time.' .i.wv'less to say the attention of the entire au dience was rivited on this superb pre sentation. ' ; i ' , ., " 1 r The work of the aerial artists the apanese and Iceland ' wrestlers, the bareback- horse riders and in s fact every member of the aggegafiion 5? serves praise, the evening performance was .. also well attended and proved to be fully as entertaining as the one given in the afternoon. The circus departed at an early hour for Norfolk and may nof again visit New , Bern several . years. '- However, it will always be welcomed. -' WORLD GHEATES DIVIDED PLAN TO INVESTIGATE SLOW SCHEDULES OF TRAINS Dr. Jno. M Faison Persuades Interstate Commerce : Commission to Make Thorough Inspection Of 'v ' 'Trains in Eastern North Carolina The Interstate Commerce Commis sion', after several conferences with, and promises to Dr. Jno. M. Faison, toho, since a member of Congress, and before, has taken much interest in, these, slow, ox cart, badly refrigerated destructive schedules, which have cost the A. C. L. Co., Penn. R. R. Co. and N. S. R. R. Co. many hundred thousand of dollars in losses of -rights, of larger crops, an for years practically blighted the berry, fruit, vegetable and fish in- dustries of Eastern North Carolina the Garden Spot of the Stated-much unless guaranteed in advance all pay of which is in Dr. Faison's Congressional ; ment of losses sustained by such District, has. at last, definitely agreed upon the time for the Hearings and investigation of such slow schedules and improper refrigeratibn, which will be held during the last week in Novem ber, 1913. These hearings will be held by Mr. George P. Boyle, attorney for the Interstate Commerce Commission at Wilmington, November 24th and 25th at Mr. Olive, November 26th and 27th, and at New Bern November 28th and 29th, 1913. Dr. Faison has arranged these hear ings with the greatest convenience to the growers and shippers within a radius of 40 miles of these towns, and time will be given them in the two days at each town for full accurate reports and estimates of such slow schedules and losses sustained, thereby, for the last several years. Dr. Faison will, at once, take up with the growers and shippers at each shipping station the matter of classifying accurately their dates of these shipments, the time in transit of such slow deliveries to the Northern markets and their losses sustained thereby, so that the growers and ship pers can have time to furnish and file definite and accurate evidence to Mr. George P. Boyle, sttorney for the Interstate Commerce Comimssion, when he holds these hearings in November. The shippers and growers at 'each! shipping station should at once organize ' and appint a committee of their rep resentative shippers and growers to collect all such data from the records at their railroad shipping station and from their commission houses in the Northern markets, stating fully, dates of shipment, dates when received, when late,, and estimates of losses sustained thereby. , The A. C. L and Penn. Railroad Com panies have, promised faster sch edules and better refrigeration es pecially f dr. the last three years since Dr "Faison introduced resolutions for such investigation in Congress in 1901 but iri vain, With the unusually short berry, fruit and vegetable crop of the present seWpn the transportation' 4nd refrigerationlias been even slower ahd JmoTre, blighting: than any season pef :-Bad , these crops been as large tns. mmq jit- usual, J or larger man ijsilaf ho; doubt the'A.

SMASH. - ' iV. i; ' "; V New York, Oct. 4. Lucille Singleton changed her mind today about her charge of stabbing ': against Herman Oelrichs, millionaire student at Coium-, bia Law school, whose automobile met j with a.n accident when the two were riding in it Tuesday night along Broad- way. She declared in an affidavit that ; her Injuries were1 caused by poi.its o glass of the wind shield, through which she was thrown' ;s ' "ts v ' ; ;' Miss Singleton firoke down and cried when questioned fry James O'Malley, an assistant prose utor, declaring . she wnted to tell t1e truth, s 'V . ' The felonlbui aWault chareebn which ' Oelrichs is to be given a hearing Tues-) day probably will be dropped. Mean-' while the district attorney's office will endeavor to learn the' girl's motive in j accusirj the young .millionaire, v It was not disclosed today who was .. the third becuoant of the car with Oel-r 1 richs and Miss Singleton. The girl in GIRL I'llTHK refrigerator cars to move these crops, which' are yet badly needed. These hearings at. their own doors will give the growers and shippers full opportunity to be heard in Novem ber, and they should and must use such opportunity to get faster schedules and proper refrigeration or cease to grow berries, fruit and vegetables longer. They can make far more , money growing cotton, corn, tobacco hay and stock and should all agree to 1 s.tP cultivating these perishable crops , ox cart schedules and hot air refrigeration by the A. C. L. Co. and Armour Co. The recent annual report of the financial condition of the A. C. L. Co., published in the newspapers of the State, made at the annual meeting of their stock-holders and directors in Richmond, Va., in June last, showed a net gain in annual profits of about 510,500,000 above all expenses, more than for the same period of the year ending June, 1912; the usual annual net income being 28 to 40 per cent of the gross earnings of the railroad company. This shows that these railroad com panies are making larger profits an nually and are well able to furnish rapid transportation or pay all such losses. If sued in the State courts and compelled to pay such losses they will adopt faster schedules, better re frigeration and thereby increase their net earnings by many hundred thousand dollars by the large shipment of berries fruits and vegetables, which the truck ers wll gladly grow for such shipments, when they know their crops will be properly and rapidly marketed. Large shipments should give cheaper freight rates also, give larger net profits to both- railroads and growers and also relieve the growing louder cry of "High Cost of Living" in the cities, now hungering for such wholesome summer foods. ,. The usual schedule of these fast (?) "cannon ball" express trains has been from 2 to 8 miles per hour for the last 10 years, simple-goo oxcart time, i when they should be 20 miles per hour :at least, and when the railroads find out they must take such schedules or pay for the losses sustained they i will easily make them. It is simply a matter of growers and shippers now getting together, show their losses from these 2 to 8 miles per' hour slow ox-cart schedules and demand 20 miles per hour schedules'-and these railroads will simply make good: aV Prop'eV. refrigeration,'', minimum and maximum c'r ods,,fluantitlea will 'also, !tigatin:;: attorneys tor- tne ti nterstate mmfesloit, and?. wuTgivt tne sHippers taa growers Xcurtepus nd dareful industry in Eastern North: ' Carolina have similai compl; I its of slow delivery for want' of cars to the Northern markets; Dr. Faison suggests that time will be given them to file their com plaints also.

Aid Baltimore, Oct. 4. When thP Ham. burg-American line steamsfhin rAi, reached port today, inaugurating the c.vu.c 0, lnat 1Ine to this port, she brought with her fifty-four shipwrecked seamen, Capt. Isaac Tones anrl hU crew of the Johnston line freighter, Templemore, saved from the sea after their vessel had been burned, 800 miles off the Virginia ra00 As the men came down the pananlant attired in only the scanty clothing they ..au uccn ame to snatch as they left their burning ship, they looked wan and haggard as the result of their thrilline experiences. Two launches were in wait ing to take them tojthe Sail,r's Anchor age, where new and warm clothing awaited them and where thev will bp made comfortable until th,. Rnm, of the Johnson line sails within th next few days to take them to fi,;- homes in England. In the case of the Templemore. as in other similar ctastrophes, the whvless operator was the hero. Twenty min utes alter the fire was discovered the operator, R. Emanuel, began to flasR his appeals for assistance across the seas. I he flames soon put the wireless apparatus out of commission. An auxil iary battery then was utilized by the operator and the Arcadia was kept in formed of the position of the doomed ship. "Just how the fire started," said Capt. Jones, "is hard to determine, but it un doubtedly began among the bales of cotton which were a pirt of the cargo. It was at 1 1 :30 p. m. Monday, that chief engineer Green came to me and said: "I smell smoke." To gether we started an investigation, and it was but a short time before the fire was located amid ships, near the engine-room bulkhead. "Every one on the ship was aroused and orders were given to turn in and fight the flames. The fire, however, gained headway, and in a short time the amidships section of the vessel was a roaring mass of flames. It was at 11:50, twenty minutes after the fire was discovered, that the wireless operator, R. Emanuel, flashed out the first sig nal of distress. "The operator continued to send calls for assistance, which were picked up by the operator on the Arcadia, thea fifty-two miles away. "The dynamo operating the wireless apparatus soon got out of commission as the flames ate into the vessel. The auxiliary batteries then were used, and with these the Arcadia Vas told of the happenings on the Temnlemore. The last message sent described that1 the Templemore was burning fiercely, and that the men were ordered to leave in the lifeboats. "I was the last to leave the Temple more, and had with me the wireless operator. In the lifeboat with me were twenty-five members of the crew. The remaining members were in two other lifeboats, which had, in the meantime put off from the ship. Two of the life boats were burning in the davits when the last boat left the ship. The bridge also had caught fire, and was burning fiercely. Everything happened so fast that no one had ime to get any clothes or other personal effects. "There was a choppy sea on, and it was difficult to keep the lifeboats afloat. We took a position to the wind ward, until the arrival of the Arcadia. The transfer of the Templemore's sea men was effected without mishap, with the exception that Chief Officer Mur " phy's hand was slightly injured while boarding the Arcadia.
