GLENN IS FIRM 1
ON NEW LAW
North Carolina Chief Executive
Continues to Buck Pritchard*
A BACK-OUT IMPOSSIBLE
Determined That Rate Statute Shall Be
Enforced Until Matter is
Legally Lettled.
Nothing came from tha conference
At Raleigh, N. C., Thursday between
Assistant United States Attorney Gen
eral Edward T. Sanford and Governor
Glenn concerning a basis of settle
ment of the pending railway rate liti
gation between the state and the
Southern railway, involving the juris
diction of state and federal courts.
Governor Glenn emphasized the state
ment that It would he useless for the
(railroads to make any proposition that
did not first provide that the state
rate law should go iuto effect pend
ing the result of the litigation, and
that if the railroads refused hie offer
the state would, in a perfectly legal
way, continue to execute the law as
be sees fit. if necessary, he announced,
be will call an extra session of the
general assembly that it might act as
It saw fit on all matters affecting the
pending litigation; that as he gets
his authority and power through it,
that body alone, by way of eminent
domain, etc., can control and regulate
railroads acting la defiance ol' bo'.h the
law and the proceedings ol’ legally
tonstltuted state courts. An extra
Aesslou seems inevilabte as a basis of
settlement.
Thu governor suggested to Mr. San
ford the following, which he has wired
to State Solicitor Urowu at Asheville:
“That the 2 1-4 cent, rate be put into
effect at once by the railroads until a
final legal settlement; the state to ap
peal from the order of Judge Pritchard
discharge from custody the Southern
railway ticket agents In Asheville;
the Southern railway to apepal to the
supreme court of Nor h Carolina in the
.Wake county case, in which the com
pany was lined $30,000, and If decided
against it to go by writ of error to
tlie supreme court of the United
States; each side to co-operate to have
both cases advanced, argued together
aiul speedily determined; the state
at its option to indict the Atlantic
Coast Line in one case for violation of
tli rat, law; all other indictments to
be stopped pending a final determina
tion of the case; the governor to ad
vise all people against brluglng penal
ty suits ponding Anal determination,
ami to ask the people as a whole to
acquiesce In these arrangements; the
Injunction suit pending before Judge
Pritchard to be diligently prosecuted
•without the state waiving any ques
tion of Jurisdiction.“
SECOND MOB MEMBER ACQUITTED.
Judge Urges Removal of Remaining Cases
to Some Other County.
The efforts of the state of North
Carolina to bring to justice the twen
ty odd citizens of Anson County who
took J. V. Johnsou from Wadesbero
Jail the night of May 28, 1906, and
touched him, came to an abrupt ter
mination in court at Monroe Thins
da> afternoon when the Jury in the
case of Zoke Lewis, the second of the
alleged lynchers to be tried, returned
a verdict of not guilty.
The jury was out au hour and three
quarters, and when the verdict was an
nounced Judge Peeples, who has been
pr siding at Union county superior
court, formally discharged it* and
•Uud that he wouldn’t go imo the trial
of another one of the men indicted,
there being too much feeling in both
Union and Ansou counties in favor of
the defendants to hop;. for a convic
tion. He urged Solicitor Robinson to
move for a removal of the other cases
to some other county. The other eigh
teen defendants were required to give
bonds of $5,000 for their Appearance
at the January term of Union county
court.
Johnson. the victim of the mob’s
Vengeance, was under indictment for
the murder of a relative, Uuiu John
con, and wa awaiting trial at a spe
cial term of Anson county court when
lynched. Tweuty-thrce men were in
dicted for the crime, and three fird
Irom the state and have never been
Apprehended.
FLAMES DEAL DEATH.
Fourteen People, Mostly Women and Chil-
Dren, Die in Tenement House Fire
In New York.
An explosion, accompanied by fire,
shattered an east side tenement in
New York city late Sunday night, and
with the crumbling walls fourteen peo
ple went down to death, white twice
as many were probably fatally injured
The horror was a repetition of the
periodical blaze that sweeps through
the densely populated foreign section
of the city, and is almost invariably
attended with panic and death. The
wrecked building was at 222 Christie
street, where a six-story tenement rose
above the grocery store basement.
An explosion, as yet unaccounted
for, tore out the front of the building,
and the fire that followed caught the
twenty families numbering About one
hundred persons, while most of them
were asleep. Not until the ashes have
cooled will it be possible to recover
the bodies of the dead. Of th; injured
many jumped from the windows, oth
ers were caught by falling timbers,
many suffocated by smoke, being drag
ged from the hallways, while others
received their wounds during the pan
ic and mad fight for an exit.
The tenement was occupied chiefly
by Italians. A passerby was attracted
by the explosion, which apparently oc
curred on the basement floor. As he
turrn and toward the building the whole
front, with its flimsy fire escapes fell
into the street, and from the sagging
floors a score of half-awakened per
sons dropped into the streets. Many
of these were badly hurt, but they
proved to be the more fortunate of
the tenants, for in ano.her moment
the building was wrapped in flames,
and the cries of persons burning to
death rent the air. In the wild panic
that followed many received mortal
injuries. The police and firemen, who
early reached the scene, attempted to
take the imperiled tenants from the
side and rear window's, but few who
were free to act did not wait for as
sistance, but jumped into the street.
Several who sought escape by a rear
stairway were driven back by chok
ing smoke.
Some of these made their way
through the tire to o;hc r exits, but
more fell overcome in the hallways
to be dragged out ins nsible. Of the
dead and dying, a majority were wo
men and children. In the scramble
for an exit and safety, the stronger
In most cases survived.

UP-TO-DATE TEACHERS.
Since June 1, 1900, 250 letters have reach
ed President Brauson at Athens, Ga., call
ing for teachers and offering salaries all the
way from £4O a month to 151200 a year. The
call is for well-trained teachers; they want
graduates of the School. This demand has
brought to the State Normal School a great
many graduates of other schools, — 124 last
year" There were graduates of Emory Col
lege, Weslevan College, Lucy Cobb Insti
tute, Brenau, Butler M. & F. College, Pied
mont Institute, Chevy Chase College (D.
C.), Peabody Normal College, and mauy
other schools, taking further courses in
pedagogy, domestic arts and sciences, man
ual arts, elementary agriculture, and other
courses, thus preparing themselves for a
step upward and forward. Then, too, there
were li>6 students who had already been
teaching, but who felt the need of the
splendid training offered there in the class
rooms, the laboratories, and the Practice
School. This Practice School building and
its handsome equipment were given to the
School by George Foster Peabody. In the
Practice School there are 120 children,
eight grades, eight teachers and assistants.
There is no amplei range of training in any
school in the South. In tho Normal School
there are 186 students who earned the mon
ey they spent there. There is not a more
earnest, faithful student-body in existence
anywhere. Students ,of improper or un
worthy spirit are quietly and quickly with
drawn from the school. Tho matrons and
officers of the School live with the students,
and the oversight is as kindly and constant
as life in the home.
Overheated Steel.
Microsopic study is adding much
to cur knowledge of the properties
of steel. It has recently been shown,
for example, that there is an impor
tant difference between steels rolled
or annealed, below a temperature of
about 730 degrees centigrade and
those annealed at higher temperatures,
which are thought to have been over
heated. They do not endure “fatigue”
so well as those annealed at the low
er temperatures. The permanent and
injurious microsopic strains are more
minutely subdivided and more uni
formly distributed in the less heated
steels, and this fact is regarded as
explaining their superior ability to
endure ’’fatigue.’’—Youth’s Compan
ion.

Salmon because it takes no argument

An Irish priest had labored hard
with one of hi-s flock to induce him
to give up whiskey. “I tell you, Mich
ael! whiskey is your worst
enemv, and you should keep as
far away from it as you can.” “Me
enemy is it Father?” responded Mich
ael. “and it was Your Riverence’s self
that was tollin' us in the pulpit only
last Sunday to love our enemies’”
“So I was. Michael,” rejoined the
priest, “hut I didn't tell ye a to swal

HAYWOOD FREE;
JURY ACQUITS
Accused Union Labor Chief Wins
After Long Fight.
VERDICT WAS SURPRISE
Orchard’s Bloody Story Gees Fcr Naught.
Eight Jurors Were for Hayweod From
tho First Ballot.
In the bright sunlight of a beau
tiful Sabbath morning, William D.
Haywood, secretary and treasurer of
the Western Federation of Miners,
walked from the court room at Boise,
Idaho, a free man, acquitted of the
murder of former Governor Steunen
berg.
Probability of acquittal was freely
predicted after Judge Fremont Wood
read his charge Saturday, which was
regarded as favorable to the defense
in its interpre;ation of the laws of
conspiracy, circumstantial evidence
and the corroboration of a confessed
accomplice.
It was also freely predicted that, in
the event of Haywood’s acquittal, the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Moyer,
president of the federation, and Geo.
A. Pettibone of Denver. Statements
from counsel and irem Governor
Gooding, issued Sunday, dispel this
view of the situation. Governor Good
ing said:
“The verdict is a great surprise to
me, and 1 believe to all citizens of
Idaho/ who have heard or read the
evidence in the case. I have done my
duty. 1 have no regret as to any ac
tion I have talun, and my conscience
is clear. As long as God gives me
strength, I shall continue my efforts
for government by law and for organ
ized society.
“The sta.e will continue a vigorous
prosecution of Moyer and Pettibone
and Adams and of Simpkins when
apprehended. There wil be neither
hesitation nor retreat.”
Application will be made to Judge
Wood to admit Moyer and Pettibone
to bail.
No; the least interesting of the com
ments made on the outcome was that
of Harry Orchard, the confessed
murderer of Steunenberg, and the wit
ness on whom the state chief.y rdied
to prove its charge of a conspiracy
among certain members of the West
ern Federation of Miners. When told
at the state penitentiary that Hay
w'ood had been acquitted Orchard
said:
“Well, I have done my duty. I have
told the truth. 1 could do r.o more. I
am ready to take any punishment
that may be meted out to me for my
crime, and the sooner it comes the
better.”
It was after being out for twenty
one hours tha; the jury, which at first
had been divided 8 to 4 for a;quittal,
and then seemed deadlocked, at 10 to
2, finally came to an agreement.
Events moved rapidly enough after
this, and when at last the principal
actors in the trial had been gathered
into the court room, at a few mo
ments before 8 o’clock, Sunday morn
ing, the envelope handed by the fore
man to the judge was torn open and
the verdict read.
It came as an electric thrill to the
prisoner, to his conns 1, to the attor
neys for the state and the sma:l group
of newspaper repcr.ers and court of
ficers, who had been summoned from
beds, but lately sought, or from of
fices where sleepless wailing had
marked the night.
Tears welled to the ey.s of the man,
who, during the 80 days of his trial,
had sat with stolid indifference writ
ten on his every feature. At last, the
icy armor that he hid throwu about
himself with the first of jury selection
had been pierced.
Haywood’s attorn.ys were fairly lift
ed from their seats, and Judge Wood
made no effort to restrain them, as
they surrounded him to shake his
hands and shout aloud tlicir congratu
lations.
Senator Borah, who made the clos
ing plea lor conviction, was not pres
ent.
Of the prisoner’s counsel, those in
the court room w; re: Clarence Dar
row of Chicago, E. F. Rith.u dson of
Denver and John F. Nugent of Boise.
No member of the pr.socers’ family,
nor any of his fr.ends among the so
cialist writers and the ’ labor jurj
was in the court room when the ver
dict was read.
