VOL XL - 4 i i i Hi BATTLESHIP SAVED The Last Act In Tragedy of Russian Rebel Warship BLOOD-STAINED SHIP IS OCCUPIED lussian t Admiral Arrives With His Fleet and Takes Over the Posses sion of the Kniaz Potemklne From the Rounmanian Authorities. Kustenji, Roumania, By Cable. -Ad-mral Kruger boarded and took pos session of the Russian hattleshis (Kniaz Potemkine, King Charles of jjoumania having sent instructions to the commander of the Roumanian squadron that the vessel be delivered to the Russian authorities without raising difficulties. The torpedo boat which accompan ied the Kniaz Potemkine, however, left for Odessa . without surrendering-, declaring , that she had not mutinied, but that the Kniaz Potemklne had forced her to follow. Admiral Kruger arrived with his squadron" Sunday morning, and after exchanging the customary salutes. In timated that he had come to arrange for the-transfer of the Kniaz Potem kine. v- Admiral Kolinsky, commander of the Roumanian squadron, boarded the Russian battleship Tchesme and informed Admiral Kruger that King Charles had ordered him to turn the vessel over to the Russian admiral." The formalities of the transfer were complete, this afternoon, . and AdmirCJ Kruger boarded the Kniaz Potemklne. The press representative inspected the Kniaz Potemklne after the with drawal of the Roumanian guard. De spite the efforts of the Roumanians to get things in ship-shape, everything aboard the "battleship was still in a state of wildest disorder. . The officers' cabins were stripped of everything of cny value, and blood stains were ev erywhere. There was sufficient ' am munition aboard the Kniaz Potemkine to have enabled the mutineers to make a desperate resistance. ... It is said that during the last few days the vessel was navigated by two engineers and an officer with revolvers at their heads - All of the sailors5 wished to surren der with the exception of Matuschen ko, the leader of the mutiny, who re sisted for some time, and wanted to blow up the ship. Seven officers were prisoners aboard the Kniaz Potemkine, They were in a pitiable condition from ill treatment. They declare that Matuschenko him self killed ten officers of the battle ship. . - All the papers and books belonging to the vessel were destroyed It appears that the decision to sur render the Kniaz Potemkine was made when it became evident that no other vessels would join in the mutiny. The crew of the , battleship 1 seemed to be unaware of the surrender of the Georgi Pobiedonosetz and expected that she also was coming to Kustenji tp capitulate to Roumania. Twenty married sailors from the Kniaz Potemkine have applied to the Russian consul here to be sent back to Russia. - . The crew' of torpedo boat No. 268 were given half an hour In which to surrender or leave port. A considerable number of the crew of the Kniaz Potemkine surrendered to the Russian squadron, alleging that they had acted under compulsion. The1 coal supply of the mutinous bat tleship was , nearly exhausted, but there was plenty of food on board. A Russian priest, after the transfer, held a service of purification on board the Kniaz Potemkine, sprinkling the vessel and her flags with holy water. Admiral .Kruger's squadron, which brought-a crew for the Kniaz Potem kine. sailed with her for Russia. News of the Day.

After . forty eight hours' confinement In ' a little, stuffy room in the hot July tempera ture, the jury in the case of Thos. W. Dewey, accused of. embezzling $100,000 from the Merchants' and Farmers' bank here, brought in a verdict of guilty Saturday afternoon at 4:30. . The court was surprised when the an nouncement was made, as it was thought that they would hang on till the last minute and then cause a. mis trial. , There was no sensational nor emo tional features. Dewey took the ver dict as if he had expected it, and show ed no sighs of disappointment. Judge Jones then made- a brief speech, in which he said It was the saddest duty of his office which he had to perform, but that the jury had rendered a ver-' diet according to the evidence and it became a most unpleasant task to him to make the sentence, but in accord ance , with evidence and the verdict he felt that a severe sentence was nec essary. He therefore sentenced Dewey to six' years in prison. Notice of appeal was given and Dewey was put under $40,000 bond, which he fur nished. John Patterson, the negro who has been on trial for. burning his wife, was found guilty of murder in the second degree Saturday and sentenced to the penintetiary for twenty-nine years. Peterson's crime was most brutal. He went to the room where the woman was sleeping, saturated her clothing with oil and set the bed on fire. The woman ran out in a blaze and was burned to a crisp. The crime was com mitted December 4th. Newbern, Special. The trial of Thomas W. Dewey, ex-cashier of the Farmers and Merchants' Bank, began here Wednesday. Ex-Gov. Aycock made a last effort to obtain a continu ance, which was overruled by Judge Jones. The defense claimed a lack of material evidence from Pelletler, an associate of Dewey, and that they were unable to procure his affidavit, he be ing outside the State's jurisdiction. The work of selecting a jury required about 45 minutes. D. W. Roberts, bookkeeper for the bank, identified the handwriting of various entries in tho books as Dewey's and showed by a comparison of the day book and the ledger, the amount of Dewey's defal cations to be $110,000, these having been made by means of falsifying en tries in the day book. ..Witnesses Bor den, of Goldsboro, and Dyer, of Nor folk, testified to the defendant's or ders to forward amounts to a New York, bank.

Over the larger portion of the State the weather during the past week was very favorable for agricultural Inter ests. Alternate sunshine and showers prevailed,' and - the precipitation was generally well distributed, relieving the droughty conditions tnat existed in most central counties at the, close of the' preceding week. There were a few severe local storms in Wayne, Alamance, Davidson and . Rockingham , counties, and too, much rain in. a numr ber of other, counties, chiefly those west of : the Blue Ridge, where farm work was interrupted, and soil and crops were washed by heavy rains. JBut the large majority of , reports by crop correspondents are exceptionally favorable, and indicate a -promising outlook - for, - crops generally The mean temperature for the week aver aged about 80 degrees (72 degrees In the mountains) ' which was nearly 4 degrees above normal; early in the week high maximum temperatures oc curred, the 4th being the warmest day, but cooler weather prevailed during the middle and latter, portion, though the nights were ' not cool enough to check the growth'of crops. Nearly ev erywhere the soil has been thoroughly moistened, crops have been invigor ated and are growing rapidly. Laying by crops and sowing field peas was interrupted In the west; but elsewhere farm work was not materially hinder ed. . ' ; .; . Generally cotton is thrifty and is branching well; it ghows exceptionally heavy bloom for the season of the year; lice have nearly disappeared; there, was too much rain for cotton in some eastern counties, namely, Northampton, Duplin, Wayne, Halifax ,and" Edgecombe, causing somewhat rank growth, in some others the plants ' are still small and late, but on the average cotton is now in fine condition. Corn is not so good, but has improved during the week; old corn seems to be earing well; the plants are large, and vigorous in the west in -consequence ,of abundant, rain; young com is growing' " rapidly, but much of the lowland crop in places was injured by too much water .Tobacco la ;s omewhat5 variable In size, but as a rule is grow ing nicely; topping continues in the north; the crop is ripening rapidly in places, but cutting and curing are not yet general, though under way in most eastern, and southern coun ties; some tobacco on sandy land is suffering from excessive moisture. Cutting oats and rye is' proceeding in the extreme west; oats Is good; thrashing wheat continues, with poor yield, but some say wheat is grading fairly well; some oats and rye "in shock too long In the west were dam aged by frequent rains. Sowing field peas in stubble land was actively car ried on this week, and they are com ing up well. Sweet potatoes and pea nuts' have improved. " Melons are com ing into market. Grapes are suffering some from blight; peaches of good quality are abundant, but apples are inferior. 4 Rains reported: Nashville 2.43; Dav is 0.75; Goldsboro 5.32; Lumberton 1.98; Newbern 2.86; Weldon 0.78; Wilmington 2.40; Moncure 1.43; Po mona 2.00; Angler 2.60; Ramseur 1.63; Greensboro 4.04; Raleigh 1.30; Char lotte 1.30; Asheville 4.00.

Oyster Bay, L. I., Special. It is re garded here as not unlikely that crim inal prosecution may result from the investigation of the cotton report leak in the Department ofvAgricuture. The subject' has not yet been presented to the President in a oxmal way, N al though he is familiar with most of the details of the inquiry. United States District Attorney Beach,: of Washington, was of the opinion, after a cursory examination of a part of the evidence adduced in the investigation, that a criminal proceeding would not lie against Assistant 4 Statistician Holmes, who is alleged to have profited by giving advanced informa tion of the condition of the cotton crop to certain" brokers. The Depart ment of Justice is npt . Inclined to ac cept this view of the case. While' no decision to institute criminal proceed ings has been reached, the subject is being considered by Attorney General Moody, who later will take the matter up with the President. In view of the opinion by the United : States dis trict attorney ; that a criminal prose cution against Holmes would not 'lie. Secretary Wilson has intimated that he would suggest to President Roose velt a recommendation : to ( Congress that legislation be enacted- to cover cases of similar character-Involving a breach of trust.
