The EDITOR PEN|TENT,
Gavin Dhu High Will Present
Himself at the Jail This
Morning.
Judge Wood Will Probably Pass Only
a Nominal Sent nee on the
Second Charge.

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 13.-When Gavin
Dhu High, the editor, was called in the
Police Court this morning to be sentenced
on a second charge of Grimm al libel on w.
]. ngee his attorney, Emil Nusbaumer,
addressed the court and said:
"The defendant now stands convicted
on two charges of criminal libel, on the
first of which he has already been sem
fenced to serve five days in the City
Prison and pay fine of $3.50. In the sec-
end case the matter rests on a motion for
new trial. The defendant is willing 10
g bide by the sentence imposed by this
court for the first offense and dismiss the
appe al which is now pending in the Supe-
rior Court.
"The defendant is willing to throw him.

hopes the court will deal with him
leniently in this second case He is will
ing to make retractlon of the publica-
tions for which he has been prosecuted,
and In the light OF this believes that the
court should deal lenientiy with him.
think that the sentence imposed by the
court in the first case is commensurate
with the offense. This case is not one in
which the general public is interested, but
rather Mr.. Dlngee personality
he requested a continuance until to-
morrow, that the appeal might be dis
missed, and said the defen liant would be
present in the morning to begin 10 serve
his sentence. Judge Wood said that if
such was the case. it began 10 look as If
be was really penitent, but he did not
agree with tue attorney regarding the
statement that the public was not inter-
ested. Continuing he said:
''I may say | had fully made up my
mind to give the defendant a much more
severe sentence in this case than Imposed
in he other. However, if the defendant
is willing 10 retract his statements and
will abide by the decision rendered in the
first case I believe l can exercise leniency
on the second charge. AS to passing
sentence, that will be continued until the
defendant has served that imposed in the
first case."

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 13.-The Mer-

resolution indorsing the California Jockey
Club, and requesting the Board of Super

races conducted on its own track, but to
allow no Sunday races. The merchants
view of the matter is that to refuse to al
low pool-selling on races would take many
thousands of dollars away from the city
and do no moral good, as the racing would
be removed TO other localities.

POLICEINCREDULOUS
Chief Rodgers Takes No Stock in
Recent Report Of
Burglary.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. 13.-The police
have made no arrests for the burglary
committed Sunday night in clothing
store on Park street. They regard the
stony of the proprietor as bid for noto-
riety.
One of the detectives said to-day: ST
am satisfied that it is an inside case. l
tried the door and found my knife would
not go into the crack, and l am positive
that it is smaller than any jimmy. Be-
sides, the prints on the door were never
made by jimmy being forced into it.
My opinion is that the marks were made
by hand while the door was open. No
thief would have transferred piles OF
clothing without disturbing the folds.
Every piece was placed in another pile
without being ruffied and only full suit
taken. That doesn't go. l guess we'll
not look any farther" and he strolled off
smiling.

ABOUT THE ANTHRACITE COAL
DISCOVERY IN MADISON

Editor News and Observer
notice in the State-Herald this
morning a telegram from Raleigh,
December 31st, to the effect that good
anthracite coal had been discovered in
Madison county, Y. c., near Hot
Springs. and near the line of the South
ern railway.
have recently returned from exam
ming the locality, and in the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal, y. Y, Dec. %,
I published the first description of the
new discovery. Mr.. Thomas Garrett,
Hot Springs. had run drift in some
fifty feet, and at the time of my visit,
December 18th, had found some small
seams of coal, anthracite in character,
and quite impure. The rocks are bad
" disrupted, and the seams of coaly
material are not in place. Oil has been
found in the Jack Branch, and the
rocks from the head of the drift emit
Il decided odor Of petroleum when
broken.
Several vars ago Mr.. VIM. Bowron,
south Pittsburg, Tenn, announced the
discovery of three seams of anthracite
coal i'm East Tennessee, but no pros
pecting was done, as the matter did
not appear to justify it. Mr. Garrett
is certainly entitled to a great deal OF
credit for his perseverance and hope
it will be abundantly rewarded. 1t
has not been thought that the region
offered any expectations of the discoy-
cry of coal, or oil, and it may be that
It's geology will have to be rewritten
in the light of recent facts.
If valuable anthracite coal has been
found there it is more than ! saw. Still
I hope IT is true, for it would greatly
simplify some problems upon which |
am at present employed.
In a report made 10 the United
states Government in 1910, North Car
DINA was credited with fifty tons of
anthracite coal for the year. 1t would
please all good Tar Heels, quorum
minima pars fui, if the State could
again enter the lists as a producer of
anthracite.
With the compliments of the season,
and best wishes for the new year, am,
Very truly yours,

THE PATTON RECEIvERSHIP.
Files n Petition to
Have 1t Set Aside.

Attorney NKetcham went to Nun
Gle yesterday and filed. on behalf of the
State, an intervening petition in the Patton
receivership case in the Delaware Circuit
Court, asking that the receivership be set
aside. The State declares that there is no
valid ground for the receivership for these
reasons: 1. Because, under the statutes, no
levy can be made upon mortgaged property
except subject to the mortgage and 1t was
therefore not necessary TO thus protect the
plaintiff In this case; 2, a secured creditor
has no warrant in law to ask the appoint
ment of receiver for the benefit OF unse-
cured creditors: 3, the judgment in favor
OF the State (he plaintiff having asked a
receiver in order to prevent the State OF
Indiana from acquiring and enforcing lien
upon the property is entitled to the con-
sideration of the court and an attempt 20
interfere with 1t constitutes a fraud upon the
State and has no standing in the court of
equity; 4, the court has no right TO appoint
a receiver for an individual in order to Sc
quester his property subject to execution;
5, the fact that receiver was appointed
for Patton In Ohio constitutes no reason
The Attorney-general further shows that the
complaint and answer in the receiversnip
suit are in the same handwriting and an
swer evidence that DIT is collusive
attempt 20 sequester the property OF Patton
and hinder the State in the collection of it's
Judgment. He further declares that these
notes were made out to the plaintiff, the
Union National Bank, in order to give it a
ground upon which to ask for a receiver.
The nature of the receivership Is plainly
shown by Mr.. Ketcham in the following
paragraph:
Said intervenor further shows the court
that the application for the appointment OF
a receiver was not verified by said plaintiff
or any other officer, attorney, agent or en-
ploye thereof, but was verified by the oath
of one Widen 4. Joseph, who at the time
was, and had for long time been, the BUSH
ness manager of the defendant Patton in
his business interests in the State of Ohio
and was nephew of his, tand said Joseph
was mainly instrumental In the institution
of the proceedings herein. That by reason
of his relationship to said Patton, his con-
nectioD with said Patton and his interests
in the litigation herein, he was not dis
interested party, cannot be competent to
be appointed a receiver and the proceedings
Instituted by him In that behalf, being so
associated and connected with his interests
and relations to said Patton, ought not to
be permitted TO stand"

Comment on the Artists That Will De
Here Next Week.


Two of the great singers who will appear
at the May music festival here next week
were the centers of ,sattraction at the Gin
cinnati festival-Nordica and Brema-Thurs-
day and last night. Frau Lohse-Klafsky
made her first appearance there and received
a tremendous ovation. Judging from the
enthusiastic declarations of the critics, Miss
Marie Brema, who only four years ago was
totally unknown as a singer. has made the
hit Of the Cincinnati festival. The Enquirer
of yesterday says of her:
Among all the solo singers last night
there was but woman, Miss Marie
Brema, who won her way to the hearts of
her hearers by her taste and sweetness of
expression. The audience rose to the pitch
of enthusiasm over Brema in the third scene
of Samson and Delilah,' in which, with Mr..
Ben Davies. she shared honors. The great
contralto acquitted herself superbly, and was
gracious in the extreme in responding to the
repeated encores. She was regal in gown
of heavy blue satin, with full loose front
Miss Brena proved herself an artist of
the highest type. She manages her rich,
warm voice material with a consummate art.
Her enunciation is perfect, her conception
absolutely artistic and her temperament Of
the finest. The second act is given over en-
tirely to their parts-without any chorus
work-and II is not saying too much that it
was rare treat of singing, which Cincin-
natians are seldom Afforded an opportunity
OF enjoying. Her singing or My Heart at
Thy Dear Voice was tribute TO the highest
art"
Mr.. Henry T. Fenck. the noted critic of
the New York Post, in his review of the
concert "Wednesday night, says: Nine.
Nordoa gave Cincinnatians sample Of the
superb Isolde which carried her name to
the pinnacle of fame last winter. and after
wards she sang with glorious voice and con-
summate art Gounod aria which evoked
another storm of applause. Even Theodore
the Wagner and Gounod numbers-a compli-
ment which he seldom pays to singer. The
versatility of this artist is remarkable, and
those who have most closely followed her
operate and concert career feel no hesita-
ton in saying that she is the greatest So
prano America has ever produced"
The Cincinnati festival is drawing au-
diences that filled the great Music Hall to
OVERLOOKING at each, concert. The directors
of the indianapolis festival say that they do
not want 1.-The earth and the fullness there
off, but will be satisfied IL the receipts are
large enough to pay the expenses With
such an array of artists as viii appear here
next Week-just as great as that at Cincin-
natl and with more interesting and diversi-
fed programmes-it would seem that the
patronage should be very large.
The advance sale of seats continues at the
Big Four ticket Office and while IL is not
yet as large as last season, the managers of
the festival believe that 1t will improve.
Tomlinson Hall has been cleaned from top
to bottom. the big chandeliers that obstruct-
ed the view taken out and 200 new electric
lights put in. Since last years festival the
hall has been entirely redecorated.
