SHOT WAITING FOR TRNIN ;
EXPRESS (SENT IS HELD
W. L. Felder, of St. Matthews,
S. C., Seriously Wounded
' at Charlotte Depot
CHARLOTTE, N. C-, Dec. 15.-At 2:»
o'clock this morning, while waiting for
Southern railway train No. 29. from the
north to Columbia. Mr. W. L. Felder, a
business man whose home is in St. Mat
thews. S. C-. was seriously wounded by j
a bullet ftred. according to statements
made later, from a pistol in the hands
of Express Messenger Harry Jones, on
train No. 29.
Felder, after receiving the shot, which
struck him in the arm and entered his
f. side, walked over to the express office
nearby and informed the office that he
had been shot. He was given all possi
ble attention while a physician was
hutened to the scene, and later the
wounded man was carried to a hospital.
It wait stated at the hospital that
Felder was not seriously hurt.
, Jones, who is' charged with the shoot
ing. was arrested by officers and taken
to the police station, where he is be
ing held. At the time of the shooting I
the two men in the car with Jones
jumped out and ran down the tracks,
but later, when approached by the po
lice. they stated that this was a ruse
which they bad adopted, and that they
had nothing to do with the affair, and
admitted that Jones had ftred the pis-
, tol. *
The shooting bears somewhat of an
air of mystery. Mr. Felder says that
as he walked along and appeared oppo
site the car door someone shouted "Look
out, there." and then the pistol was fir
ed. at almost the same moment at which
the voice was heard from inside the
h car *
Just what motive was behind the
shooting. *f any. seems to remain a mys-
Whether Jones fired at the unsuspect

person, or whether the affair was more
of an accident than a wilful attempt to

Certain Habits Unconsciously
Formed and Hard to Break.
An ingenious philosopher estimates tha;
, the amount of will power necessary to
£ break a life-long habit would. If it could
be transformed, lift a weight of many
tons.
It sometimes requires a higher degree
of heroism to break the chains of n
pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn
hope In a bloody battle. A lady writes
from f an Indiana town.
“From my earliest childhood I was a
lover of coffee. Before I was out of my

THREE WOMEN’S DEATH?
Police Say Woman Claimed
She Was Held by Negro As
Husband Struck Blows.
SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 14.-Not a
, single assailant, but two or possibly three
1 were engaged in the tragic death of
three women, is the theory now advanced
by Savannah police. County officers de
clare that of these, J. C. Hunter, hus
band of Mrs. Maggie Hunter, whose
I death added a third to the number of
i murdered women, is certainly one.
They declare that the chain of evidence
is complete, asserting that some cloth
ing. badly stained, apparently spattered
with blood, which was found later today
and belongs to Hunter, is the finial link.
This clothing, it is declared, was worn
by Hunter on the day of the crimes,
and a walking cane found In the house
of murders is decland to have been
carried by Hunter on the same day.
It was declared by a physician at the
Savannah hospital that statements made
during a moment of consciousness by
Mrs. Hunter early today charged the
crimes to her husband, and that she
was being held by a negro man when
the blows were struck that caused her
death.
Rev. J. S. Wilder, pastor of a Baptist
church here, stated that Mrs. Hunter,
after recognizing him. declared a white
man had struck the blows.
The police are continuing their ques
tioning of Hunter, who has been a pris
oner islnce Saturday. He stoutly denies
any guilt.
Mayor Tiedeman has asked that no
extra editions of the newspapers be is
sued carrying the developments in the
case.
The body of Mrs. Maggie Hunter, the
third victim of the mysterious murder
committed in a house on Perry street
last Friday, w’as carried today to Bulloch
county for interment. Mrs. Hunter was
a native of Bulloch county, and wished to
be buried there. The police are still hold
ing her husband at the barracks, and are
making a thorough investigation of his
actions for the past week or more. A
witness has been found who alleges he

a woman if she did not let him alone.
He and his wife had been separated.
This witness has been detained. Mps.
Hunter died without telling who assaulted
her. but she told Rev. John S. Wilder, a
Baptist minister, that the man who struck
her down was a white man. She promised
to tell the minister all about the as
sault yesterday, but when he reached the
hospital she had been dead 10 minutes
SAVANNAH, Ga.. Dec. 14.—Dr. V. L.
Bassett, the city bacteriologist, has ex

that the stains were caused by blood.

JOHN W. GATES GIVES
ADVICE TO THE YOUNG
GALVESTON, Tex., Dec. 15.-That the
seventh annual conferences of the gulf
division of the Methodist church selected
i Port Arthur for a four days’ meeting
1 is due largely to the efforts of John
!W. Gates, formerly of Chicago, who
I practically owns that community. He
I was scheduled as one j#f the principal
speakers.
In selecting a subject for discussion
Mr. Gates chose "Speculation and Gam
bling.” and preached against all such
get-rich -quick schemes.
The address was impressive in warn
ing the young churchmen to follow the
straight and narrow path and shun gam
bling in every form from dice to throw
ing to speculating with the markets and
dealing in futures.
Mr. Gates told bls audience that SIOO
earned by honest manual labor was
worth more than 110.000 won at gambling
whether it be at stud poker or trying to
corner the food supply of the country
by dealing in w'heat that had not been
planted.

Mrs. Bobby Walthour
Was On Wrecked Train
And Wires to Her Sister
A telegram was received shortly after
noon from Mrs. "Bobby” Walthour. of
this city, who was a passenger on the ill
fated No. 11 Southern railway passenger
train which was wrecked, saying that
there had been an accident, and that she
did not knew when she would reach
home.
The telegram was addressed to her sis
ter who lives in Kirkwood, and failed to
state whether or not Mrs. Walthour was
injured.
Mrs. Walthour has been in New York
during the slx-day races at Madison
Square garden, in which Bobby Walthour
was a prominent competitor, and she
was on her way back to Atlanta when
the wreck occurred.
Much anxiety is felt by her relatives
and friends over the possibility of Mrs.
Walthour’s having sustained serious in-
I jury, and an effort is even now being
| made to secure, more detailed informa

FAILEDI IN iTWHO
ENLIST WITH HER LOVER
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.—The second at
tempt of Miss Adelaide Portwood, of ‘
Decatur. 111., to enlist in the United
States navy in order to be with her
sweeheart, who has been ordered to
Central America, went awry because of
certain regulations governing the en
listment o_ recruits.
Her sweetheart is Corporal James Dix
on, of the Marine corps, who recently in
herited about SIOO,OOO, obtained his dis
charge and then re-enlisted because he
could not curb his martial spirt. Miss
Portwood’s family is said to be promi-1
nent in Decatur.
When Sergent Holman and Capt. Wil
liam Brackett, of the department of
Illinois, and Dr. William Nally, exam
ining physician, whom he had summon
ed. , reached the recruiting station Miss
Portwood, in complete boy's attire, was
wafting with an expectant smile.
“Just step in the next room and pre
pare for the physician's examination,”
directed Sergeant Holman.
Miss Portwood stepped in. After 15
minutes, when Sergeant Holman investi
gated to ascertain the cause of the de
layed reappearance, an open window
told of an escape, and a hairpin and
perfumed lace handkedchief on the floor,
told a story of their own.
The Rifle That Reached the
Pole.
The Winchester is the rifle that went to
the North Pole. It was carried personally
by Commander Robert E. Peary. In re
gard to this Commander Peary says:
"Personally T always carry a Wincdiester
Rifle. On my last expedition I liad a
Model 1892 44-caliber carbine and Winches
ter cartridges, which 1 carried with me
right to the North Pole." Harry Whitney
also carried Winchester rifles and cart
ridges on his hunting trip In the Arctic
regions. H esays: “They never failed me."
Ex-President Roosevelt, too. is using
Winchester rifles and cartridges in Africa
and writes of his success with them in
his Scribner articles. The fact that all
these great figures in the present day an
nals of hunting and exploration person
ally chose Winchester rifles and cart
ridges for their equipment carries its
Own suggestion. Such experienced men
would not carry rifles and cartridges
which they did not consider absolutely
dependable. •••

LAMP STARTS FIRE.
The flre originated on the second floor
of the building and was due to the up
setting of a kerosene lamp during a quar

The building was an old wooden affair
and the flames spread rapidly to the
stairs and hallways, cutting off the escape
of many before the situation had disclosed
itself as being serious.
When the sleeping inmates awoke they
found the building full of smoke and
their exit to the street cut off. Many
rushed to the windows and others to the'
roof.
The firemen and policemen rescued
manj' of them, but others were too fright

and threw themselves from the windows.
Some of these were caught in blankets

sidewalk.
Four of the dead were found on the
upper floors of the building. Two of
these were almost totally Incinerated.
Mrs. Henderson was found clasping her

ATLANTIfINS WANT
FARMERS COLLEGE
established HERE
Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee to Confer With Pres
ident of Farmers’ National
Union.
PRRESIDENT BARRETT IS
EXPECTED IN ATLANTA
An active movement has been inau
gurated by progressive Atlantians toward
securing for Atlanta the $1,000,000 agri
cultural college, which is to be establish
ed by the National Farmers’ union, for
the purpose of educating the youth of the
south and the entire, country in the
science of modern, scientific production of
all manner of farm products.
While negotiations looking toward the
location of the college in this city have
not yet been entered into, the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce is vitally interest
ed in the project, and a special committee
has been appointed to handle the matter
and secure the institution for this city if
it is possible for them to do so.
It will be recalled that Charles S. Bar
rett. of Union City, Ga.. president of the
National Farmers' union, mapped out a
scheme for scientific education of the far
mers of the country at the recent con
vention of that organization which met at
Macon.
NEEDS OF EDUCATION.
At that time Mr. Barrett pointed out
tlie crying necessity for the application ol
scientific farming methods before it is toe
late. He showed that it is not only prac
tical, but absolutely imperative to edu
cate the farmer up to an understanding of
the theoretical as well as the practical
application Os scientific methods in the
production of his crops.
President Barrett pointed out that it is
possible, with a knowledge of the un
derlying principles of scientific farming,
for an industrious farmer to enhance the
value of his holdings anu his produced
crops, both in quantity and quality, from
25 to 100 per cent, with but little extra
outlay in money and labor.
PRESIDENT BARRETT EXPECTED.
Some days ago he Journal reported that
President Barrett would be in this city
within a short time, together With a
number of thte presidents of Farmers’ un
ions from all over the south. This fact
immediately interested the chamber of
commerce, and it was learned by them
that the object of the visit was to look
over the ground with a view of establish
ing the SI,OCv.OOO college here in case that
other things were satisfactory.
Owing to the fact that no negotiations
have been t entered into as yet, none of
the details are known to The Journal. It
is certain, however, that the Farmers' un
ion officials are expected in the city every
hour, and as soon as they arrive the ag
ricultural committee from the chamber of
commerce will wait upon them and make
a strenuous effort to convince them that
the ■ tig college would be better off in
this city than anywhere else on earth.
PROPOSITION UNCERTAIN.
Secretary Walter G. Cooper, of the
chamber of commerce, was on the lookout
for President Barrett Wednesday morn-'
ing. and stated that he expected that of
ficial during the day. although he had
heard nothing definite from them as to
tlie hour and date of -their arrival.
Not being in possession of all the facts
in the case, the committee from the
chamber of commerce cannot say at pres
ent what sort of a proposition they will
submit to President Barrett, but they
are determined to get the college If It is
possible for them to do so.
This is a big thing for not only At
lanta but the entire state, for It is prac
tically certain that the $1,000,000 said to
be at the disposal of the Farmers’ union
will be supplemented by as much more
from other sources, and that the Institu
tion will be the most Important of its kind
anywhere in the world.

way telegraph lines from the outside
world, news of the wreck traveled slow.
After midnight, a report reached here
that two freight trains had run together
head-on, at Northeast, with no fatalities.
By a round-about way the report was
found to be erroneous and that two pas
senger trains had been ditched.
Immediately relief trains were rushed
from this place and Conneaut. Ohio,
loaded with nurses and physicians. Hos
pitals in both piaces were notified to be
prepared to take care of many injured.
Ambulances and dead wagons were lined
up at the railroad depot here in anticipa
tion of a terrible catastrophe. At 3:40 this
morning a relief train arrived here bear
ing the mutilated bodies of three Italians
and seven persons seriously Injured. These
were all taken to the morgue and hospi
tals.
Persons aboard the fast flyer were
hardly aware that a collision had taken
place, as the engineer of the flyer, upon
seeing the rear signal lights of No. 10,
applied emergency brakes in time to save
damage to his train, except the mutilation
of the pilot and headlight of his engine.

“Long Live Liberty, United
, States and Estrada,” the
People Cry.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Dec. 14.—Re
| belllon has broken out at the capital.
! The streets are filled with unrestrained
i demonstrators. Shouts of "Long live lib-
I erty, the United States and Estrada,"
: filled the air.
j The police have made no move to check
, the mob. It is said President Zelaya has
i promised to make public today the an
‘ nouncement of his resignation from the
presidency.
■ For the first time in 16 years a street
, meeting of malcontents has been permlt
i ted without police interference. The
■ demonstration began last night and con-
J tinued for hours.
' This forenoon comparative quiet had
i been restored, but the events of the last
; fetv hours, admitted of but one interpre
tation. The anti-Zelaya feeling was so
strong that the government did not dare
to attempt its suppression.
CAUSE OF OUTBURST.
The climax was reached last night,
when the govemnk-ni attempted to put
through congress a bill conceding to cer
tain exploiters mining rights covering
vast undefined areas irrespective of the
private ownership of the surface of the
property. Congressman Enrique Corda
opposed the measure in a speech that
aroused the wildest enthusiasm.
The government, seeing that the mo
tion was in danger of being lost, precip
itately adjourned the session. It was too
late, however, to head off the burst of
indignation w’hlch had spread of the leg
islative body, supposed to have been
friendly to Zelaya. The announcement of
the adjournment was greeted with hisses
and when Corda left the building he was
given an ovation.
MOB IS FORMED.
| From the meeting place the congress-
I man w’ho dared to publicly voice the first
protest against the government was fol
lowed to his hotel by a mob which al
ternately cheered Corda and cried “Long
live liberty!” "Down with oppression!”
News of what had transpired in congress
spread rapidly and the crowd of manifes
tants grew to the strength of an army.
The rioters gathered in front of the Mex
ican legation and called upon the Mexi
can minister to Nicaragua for a speech.
The diplomat! asked to be excused.
Roman Rostran attempted a conciliatory
speech and was hooted for his pains. Oc
casionally there was a cry of "Give us
Madriz!" In a fiery speech Hildebrande
Castellon predicted a new era of liberty
and his auditors shouted approval.
Responding to Insistent calls, Corda
made a speech which was a bitter attack
upon Zelaya. The speaker said that h»
had intended to interpellate the govern
ment on the subject’ of its preparations
for war in the face of its protestations of
peaceful intentions, but he had desisted
on the assurance that a formal declara
tion by President Zelaya resigning from
the presidency will* be published in the
morning.
POLICE STOOD BT.
While these speeches were,,bf log made
—and the crowd was as angry as it could
be—the police made no show of interfer
ence Dr. Madriz arrived in the
city and his advent was the signal for a
demonstration that made the early out
break appear temperate In comparison.
The crowd had become emboldened be
cause of the non-interference of the po
lice, and violent denunciations of the
present regime were voiced apparently
without thought a possible consequence.
In the confusion of shouts one could
make out "Viva Mexico!" "Long live
the United States!" "The handwriting
Is on the wall!” Corda was released but
recently from the penitentiary.
Following demonstrations at Corda’s
hotel the crowd moved to tne home of
Henry Caldera, the United States vice
consul. Here they cried "Live Estrada!"
"Live the revolution!" "Live the United
States!” Still the police did not interfere
andthe tramping and shouting went on
until the manifestants had tired them
selves out.
There is rumor here that General Es
trada was captured during a battle at
Rama, hut no confirmation of the story
Is possible here, where the authorities
say they have received no dispatches
since last Friday.
BLUEFTELDS. Nicaragua. Dec. 14.—An
official telegram received at the insur
gent headquarters here announces that
General Morales, at the nead of a. band
of insurgents, has captured Tortuga,
Oris! and Supoa, three small towns on th<
Costa Rican frontier.
Morales proclaimed Estrada president
of Nicaragua and continued his march
to attack the important town of Rivas.
General Estrada and his followers have
taken courage as to the prospect of as
sistance from the United States In their
efforts to overthrow the government ol
Nicaragua.
The United States cruisers Des Moines
and Tacoma and the oottler Leonidas,
with their crews on board, are still lying
outside the harbor. A cablegram reports
that 700 additional marines from the Unit
ed States have started for Colon and this
fact is Interpreted as assurance that ma
rines will be sent here to reinforce the
bluejackets now in the harbor.
General Estrada now has 2,400 men and
looks fbrward to an early engagement
that he hopes will result in a decisive vic
tory for the insurgents. Estrada an
nounces that his first step preliminary
to joining Morales and other leaders in
a combined attack upon Managua will
be the surrounding of Vasquez. which
movement Estrada thinks Is partly ac
complished now. General Vasquez has
reconcentrated his troops in the hills
overlooking the Mico river.
Vasquez’s right is threatened by Gen.
Luis Mena, who has taken up a position
nine miles south on the Rama river. On
the other flank of the government army
is Gen. Fornas Diaz, whose troops oc
cupy a strong position on the Siguia
river. As the Mlco river flows between
the Rama and the Siguia rivers, Vasquez
is hemmed in on either side. Estrada
plans simultaneous movements by Diaz
and Mena, cutting off the retreat of the
enemy to the north or south, while Gen
eral Chamborro delivers a front attack
from the east. The plan is complete
and the Inauguration of the campaign
awaits only the arrival of artillery and
additional ammunition, which are ex
pected daily by steamer.
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 14.—Special mall
advices received here from Port Limon,
Costa Rica, state that reports have
reached there to the effect that Dr. Ma
driz. Nicaraguan member of the court of
Cartago has made a vigorous appeal to
Zelaya to do this “not only for the in
tegrity of Nicaragua, but for that of all
Central America.”
An anti-American meeting was held in
San Jose. Costa Rica, several days ago to
protest against the landing of troops in
Nicaragua by the United States, it is re
ported.
La Informacian. a newspaper published
at San Jose, declares:
"We have wished Zelaya would fall,
but not by the blow of a foreign invader. I
Latin-America, as a whole, ought to pro-1
teat axainat this outrage."

Gentlemen:
"My wife was down with Consumption whet
I ordered a bottle of Aicao! (Uoyd). Sbe was
vyry weak from night aweata, cough and in a

completed. Aicsol (Lloyd) kills the Tubercle
Bacillus in the blood and tlaaue and it Is the
only remedy so far discovered that will do thia.
It is a preventative as well as a cure. It should
be used by those who are run down or those
who fear the approach of Consumption. It can
be truthfully said that Aicsol (Lloyd) for ’the
cure and prevention of Consumption is the moat
wonderful compound of the present age.”

SAY HHINMiiSNT
OF MEE WOMEN'S DEATH
SAVANNAH. Ga., Dee. 15.—A chemical
analysis of bloodstains found on a bundle
of clothing owned by J. C. Hunter, hus
band of the last of the three women vio
ttms of the Perry street murders
to die. practically eliminated Hunter from
suspicion of guilt as the perpetrator of
the terrible crimes.
The anlysis was made at the request of
the police by City Bacteriologist Victor
Basset, and Ms declaration Is that though
Hunter declared the stains to be & vari
ety of varnish, yet they are blood, how
ever, they are not recent stains and mu«t
be older than several days. therefore
could not have been made at the time
of the murder of Mrs Hunter, Mrs. Oh
lander and Mrs. Gribble.
An affidavit was obtained from J- M.
Robertson, a fellow-work man of Hunter,
too, that asserts that during the time
the murders must have been committed,
Hunter did not leave bls sight long
enough to go to the Gribble home and re
turn.
Hunter and William Walls, who also Is
a prisoner and was a close friend of Mm. <
Hunter, were given a refined variety of
the third degree by the police. Neither
knew Mrs. Hunter was dead.
The husband was led into a room where
his wife lay In her coffin. Suddenly he
was brought face to face with the dead
woman.
He showed much emotion, but asked to
be allowed to kiss her, and did so. Walls,
declaring that he would "rather have his
head cut off than harm her” was allowed
to fondle the dead woman’s hands.
The problem the police face now Is to
apprehend a negro man seen at the Grib
ble home with an axe in his band at
about the time of the murders. Find this
man, they believe, and they will solve
the mystery.
