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. PREACHER KILLS SECOND NEGRO. Parson in Chattanooga is Extra Handy With His Trusty Gun.

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.

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. Is Pe-ru-na Useft for Catarrh?
