The. naval c-fficer is in the pay of all the people, a public official, and must not give occasion to public scandal." - T SA IS HOLIEST DAY IS THE DAY OF ATONEMENT AND WILL BE CELEBRATED IN NEW BERN. The Day of Atonement is the holiest day in the Jewish Calendar. This yea it falls on Saturday, the 1 1th' of Octor ber.r ;; Its Biblical designation is Yom ha-Kip-purim, later shortened to om Kippur.: According to. Biblical tradition it is one of the cycle, of holidays insti tuted by Moses, for we find it men tioned in Leviticus 23 : 2632, in the list of holidays." Its ceremonial is described in Leviticus 16, its sacrifices in Numbers 2SL": 7-11. , ., However, the Day of Atonement is not dependent oh the sacrificial service prescribed in the Bible. Thus, after the destruction of the Temple in the year 70, when sacrifices were abofished, the Day of Atonement was able tp survive, and of all the holidays of the Jewish calen dar it has most completely held its own in';the hearts and observance of the Jewish people. Emphasis was laid upon confession, penitence, prayer and good deeds. It became the day of "afflicting one's soul" (Issiah 57 s 3, 5), which was interpreted as meaning fasting from the eve of Atonement . until the following evening. As in the Biblical ceremonial, confession continues to be an important feature of forgiveness of sins between man and his Maker, sins between man and man are not forgiven until redress ia' made for the injury. The eve of Atonement Day, therefore, becomes the occasion for the cessation of feuds and ill-wilL And the. Day of Atonement is known as the' Sabbath of Sabbaths when we are at peace with all the world. . The servicce of the Day of Atonement beginning with Kil Nidre service en the eve of atonement is a continuous one throughout the entire day., The prayers in the synagogue are intoned in plain, tive penitential tones. The spirit of the masterly sermon of Isaiah ( Isaiah 57, : 4-9), which is the prophetical portion of the morning's reading, is manifested throughout. x " - " r. t ' L E COVNTY: SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, ' VISITS INSTITUTION. i - S.

This school began its fall term a few days ago and one hundred and sixty, pupils have been-enrolled. - An incident worthy of mention is the, fact that on the opening day only one' pupil, a child-in one of the lower grades, was absent. .

After a visit to the war department where he conferred with chief of army engineer, Rochelle, Senator Simmons tonight said that plans and specifications had been com pleted, bids would be asked for imme diately and- within, a very .short time work would be started on the harbor of refuge at Cape Lookout, which is to cost the government over $3,500,000 .when completed. The appropriation was se cured by Senator. Simmons and . many of his friends consider this to be one of the "greatest things he ever - did for North Carolina. An appropraition of $1,400,000 has already been made and is now available, and the balance will be made from time to time as it is needed. The work will be in charge of Maj. H. W. Stickle, now stationed at Wil mington. The plans call for a granite wall a little over 8,000 feet long- at an average height of 45 feet, 20 feet wide at the top and to be two feet above high water at all points. A little over ,1,6000, 000 tons of granite will be needed to jefeat tj,e provisions. Representatives build the wall, and Col. F. B.

CONFESSED SLA YBR IS Chicago Detectives Place Spencer's Yarns-Says He Has Kiiieo reopie wno Are Known To Be Alive Chicago, 111., Dct. 7.-rAfter Iwen-ty-four hours of . investigation Chi-' cago detectives were willing to be lieve tonight' that Henry Spencer, self-confessed . slayer of . Mrs. Mildred Alliso'n-Rexroaf, and nearly a score of others,' is., one of the most brilliant ly entertaining liars ; with whom the police have come in contact with in a long "-time. In fact, s one of the sleuths expressed it, the "confession" bids fair to go down in the police re cords : as the ''dream of an opium fiend" rivalling De Quincey's confes sions of an opium eater. .The net result of the police ac tivity of theday was to establish a fairly good case against Spencer as the murderer of the tango teacher, who was lured to the country by the prom ise; of "a class at Wayne and there shot to death on the railroad tracks near the' town west of Chicago, and her body left on the tracks for muti lation by a train. .

Oct. 7, Upon advice from Raleigh yesterday afternoon that examination of the" head of" the cat that bit Mrs." Samuel L. Johnson Fri day; night, showed that the cat had the rabies, the lady was sent to the Pasteur Institute at Raleigh yeterday afternoon for treatment under Drv C A. Shore.' At ofesent she is doing as well as could be expected and it is thought' she will recover- tn good time, - - It seems that Mrs.: Johnson had no ticed the cat was not well for sm davs and thev were doing what they could to cure it. Sunday afternoon" it was Iviner bv the stove and as Mrs. Johnson reached past it, tot some thing, If sprang on her hand and bit and lacerated.it severely. So ferocious was its attack that it had to be taken off by force. Mrs: Johnson had her baby in her arms at the time and as soon as possible the cat was driven out of the house and shot. Dr; W. J. Thtjpen wa caUed to the heme to drr the wound and as everything in HID IRB0H0 dicated that he cat wa mad he took its head and sent it to Raleigh for o mination. " For the Immense Wall . Amendment in Danger ed on Commissioner Osborne and talked with him about patronage matters. Probably tomorrow Senator "Simmons will ask that a district attorney and United States marshal be named for eastern North Carolina, and it is believ ed that Senator Overman will make a like request for the west. It is known that Attorney-General McReynolds has asked Senator Simmons to call at the department of justice to talk over the matter of making these changes. The provision in the urgent deficiency bill providing that deputy United States marshals and collectors be appointed in stead of being selected through civil service examinations is in great danger of being defeated when the house meets tomorrow. Leader Underwood and Speaker Clark today sent out telegrams to a hundred or more absent Democratic members urging them to return . to Washington in time to vote tomorrow. It is feared that a quorum cannot be had, in which event the Republicans will THE CHAMPION LIAR Little Confidence In Henry and sheriffs in various sections of the country denying that crimes in the Spencer "confession" had ever been committed visited Chief of De tectives John J. Halpin, all of the af ternoon and this evening and ex ploded piceemeal the long story that the prisoner had narrated. "There is absolutely no doubt that Spencer murdered Mrs. Rexroat," said the chief of the detectives tonieht. "In his confession he has gone into minute details of that affair." ' Positive identification of Spencer as the man who accompanied Mrs Rexroat to several cafes the night before- her murder was made this af ternoon by a lawyer named Carl White. Spencer's drawling voice, the voice supposed to have lured Mrs. Rexorat to hef death, was identified - tonight by " Mrs. Sadie Johnson, with whom Mrs. Rexroat lodged, as the voice she had heard over the telephone the night of -the murder. 11 REV.
