FOR TWELFTH TIME
ELECTED PRESIDENT
lVa.'lunglon, Nov. 21.—Secretary of
! fl-,r Taft this morning announced that
C b, had ordered the immediate execu-
' jinn of the presidential order dlsmlss-
f lit* the negro troops’ of companies B,
l C and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry.
[ This action was taken, he said, as
i won as he returned to Washington and
I lurned that President Roosevelt had
declared he would not reconsider the
I case.
Taft Makes Statement.
• Secretary Taft this morning made
Ibe following announcement explain-
lux his determination to carry out the
order dismissing the negro soldiers of
the Twenty-fifth Infantry:
-In the matter of the order dlscharg-
! true the enlisted men of three compa
nies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry Issued
by the president, application was pre
•enird to the secretary of war by a
[ number of persons of standing asking
for a rehearing by the president of the
| (round* on which the action was taken.
. The secretary telegraphed the presl-
l dent of the application .and delayed
tbe proceedings of the discharge until
[ the president could Indicate his wishes.'
Learns of Investigation.
F "The secretary was meantime called
; out nf town. No answer was received
• from the president. The secretary on
! his return did not 1 feel justified In
■further delaying the execution of the
I order of discharge, especially In view of
I tbe fact that the secretary then learned
I that the president had fully and- ex-
bsuatlvely considered the arguments
1 against the order of the persona who
now apply for » rehearing. Accordingly,
the secretary directed yesterday that
the proceedings for discharge bo con
I tinued without delay.”
Execute Order, Says Roosevelt.
A telegram -d-as received from the
president at 11 o'clock today, after the
previous statement Was mode out at
the wtir department, In which he de
clines to suspend the discharge unless
there are new facts of such Imirortance
as to warrant cabling him.
He states that the action was taken
after due deliberation and that the
only matter to .which he could pay
|' heed Is the- presentation of facts show
ing the official report to be tn whole
or In part untrue or clearly exculpating
some Individual. If nny such fact later
Black Assailant Carried to
Court Under Guard of
Militia.
■ but thus far nothing has been
Introduced to warrant the suspension
■of the order and he directs ttiat It he
executed. . ‘ ;; . -*

New York, Nov. 21.—When Gilchrist
L Stewart, of the Constitutional League,
»ent a cablegram to the [(resident when
the latter Was at Ancon. .Panama, to
the ettevi that the "Republican county
committee unanimously denounces the
discharge of colored soldiers." ho re-
■ celved the following answer:
' Unless facts ns known to'me are
shown to be false, the order will
under no circumstances be re
voked, nnd I ahatt not for one mo
ment consider suspending It on a
simple allegation that there are
new facts until these new tacts are
laid before me. Inform any persons
having new facts to have them In
shnpe to lay before me at my re
turn, and I will then consider
whether or not any further action
by me Is called for.

colored, 32 years of age, charged with
assault on Mrs. Mollle Leggett, of
Princess Anne county, who had been

this morning carried to Princess Anne
court house, under an escort of a com
pany of fifty Infantrymen made up
from Norfolk companies of the Seven
ty-flrst Virginia, regiment, who will
protect the prisoner during his rial

made. Sheriff McKIss, having heard
that mobs were preparing to board the
train at Land's Station and selxo the
prisoner, stationed himself in a special
car with the negro, completely sur
rounded with loaded muskets ready
for any event of attack.
Prominent women of Princess Anne
have raised a public “protection fund'
and have employed J. J. Burrougrs, ,
leading Norfolk attorney, to prosecute
Smith, looklhg y> his legal execution.
It Is the most remarkable action ever
known to have been taken by women
of Virginia, even In such heinous
crimes.
Reports from Princess Anne say that
large crowds of farmers are assem
bling at the court house.

■tt. George's Bay, N. F., Nov.' 21.—
Tli« Arctic ship Roosevelt with Com-
'Hander Peary and his party aboard, la
weatherbound here. Heavy weather
an ‘l high seas have prevailed and the
explorer does not care to risk forcing
hi* boat In the big waves In the Gulf of
■ s '. Lawrence In her disabled condl-
[lon. The story of the expedition, as
learned from members of the party,
Proves that everything that man could
00 .."as done to reach the north pole.
Horn August It, 1S0B, the party
'"ei dense Ice floes. The Roosevelt was
lorred eastward Into the heavy chan
nel pack, and after a severe struggle
reached dense ice In the Greenland side
or i'ape Calhoun and after a temporary
steamed north cloae by the
Lroenland coast, past Cape Constitu
tion and Thank God pnaaage.
Smashed Against the lee.
•' few miles north of Cape Lupton a
•widen motion of the Ice smashed the
Roosevelt against the Ice and ground
her along Its face until she slipped Into
a narrow niche after hard work with
heaviest lines. This momentary
" u "y twisted the back of the rudder.
“™ke the heavy Iron bands and gave
iae Roosevelt a disagreeable grinding
»nn squeezing, but did not seriously In-
a" her. She steamed around Cape
"“nimer and tied v> the foot Ice of
•'oilman bay. under Cape BrevoorL
, r ® the party remained a week,
t. . J* th ® Roosevelt deliberately at-
ao«-d the dense channel pack, and
“ [ "i 35 hours of,severe and continuous
2*** and strain, she went Into Wan-
! "ay. Here the movement of a
** ly y pack twisted the back of the
rudder until It was nearly torn away,
but did not render it entirely unserv
iceable.
Peary Decide* on Deeh.
In Lincoln Bay the Roosevelt was
held aopie time and forced aground at
every tide and early In the morning
was made fast to the Ice. It pressed
against the starboard aide.
The Roosevelt was unmercifully
squeezed and one blade torn off her
propeller later. On the turn of the tide
she settled back somewhat, but did not
float until the summer.. The party win
tered there and In the spring, Peary,
finding that he could no longer count
on the supporting parties, decided that
whatever was to be done must be done
with a dash, with the outcome hanging
upon the weather and the condition of
the Ice.
Feeds Dogs to Animals.
At .Storm camp, Peary abandoned
everything not absolutely necessary
and bent every energy to setting a rec
ord pace. The first search of ten hours,
Peary In the lead, with the compass,
sometimes on a dog trot, the sledges
running beside, placed them 30 mlb
to the good.
As the dogs gave out, unable to keep
the pace, they were fed to tbe others.
April 30 Peary came Into a region of
open leads extending nearly north and
south, and the Ice motion became more
pronounced. Harrying on between
hese, a forced march was made. Then
they slept a few hours, and, starting
again soon after midnight, pushed on
till noon of the 21 at. Peary’s observa
tions then gave 87 degrees. 6 minutes.
’ Leaves Record of Quest.
But, looking at his remaining dogs
and the nearly empty food vessels, he
felt that be had cut the margin as nar
row as could be reasonably expected.
His flags were put out from the sum
mit of the highest pinnacle and 100 feet
or so |>eyond those he left a bottle con
taining a brief record and a piece of
the flag which six years before he had
carried around the northern end of
Greenland.

Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 21.—The
Southern railway, It Is learned, has let
to tho Oliver contracting firm of this
city a contract to double-track that
road between Charlotte and Atlanta.
The work, It Is stated. Is to be let to
sub-contractors and will begin by Jan
uary 1.
It will probably take three or four
years to do this work, as aside from
the double trackage, the course of the
track will be changed at many points
and the curves and grades done away
with as far as possible. The line when
completed will be almost a new one.
Double tracking has been In prog
ress north of Charlotte to a consider
able extent and the second line has
been laid between several of the larger
cities os far north ns Danville. It Is
not Improbnble that the line will be
double-tracked between Charlotte and
Spencer, In order to eventually give
double trackage all the way between
Washington nnd Atlanta.
The road lias been forced to this
work because of tho congested condi
tion of traffic between Washington and
tho metropolis of the Empire Stale of
the South.
