BY RAU0.
A Police Raid Shows How the schemers Con
Quoted the Work.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Nov. 1O.-The authorities
are still vigorously probing into the mat
ter of the alleged divorce MILL which
was brought to public notice by the ar
rest yesterday of Attorney Henry Zeimer,
Frank Wilson, Miss Mary II. Tompkins
and Mrs. Byrde c. HerricE,
1t is asserted that Lawyer Zeimer ar
ranged divorce cases so that a decree
could be obtained on evidence given by
Miss Tompkins and Wilson and that Mrs.
Herrick was one OF the persons who
profited by this evidence, which was got
ten up for the occasion. Zeimer and Will
son spent last night in the Tombs in de-
fault of IS, 900 bail. They are still pro-
testing their innocence.
Recorder Golf this evening issued a
warrant for the search of the offices
| occupied by Zeimer. The raid revealed
the fact that the ramifications of fraud
reach all over the country, and even to
England, Porto Rico and South America,
! documents showing that the conspirators
had handled thousands of cases within
| the last three years and that money had
been poured in to them in a steady
stream. On an average, $40 was paid for
each decree. and in SOM cases as high
as $3.50. There were photographs Of a
| great number of women, some of them
in improper positions. The raid was
directed by Assistant District Attorneys
Unger and Gordon, who were accom-
| panied by Detective ~Sergeants Cuff and
Mcknight.
Til charges are that the scheme was
operated thus:
An advertisement appeared in the
papers which read:
Divorces quickly; desertion, n%on-sup-
port, insanity, separation papers acct
dent, breach Of promise. Consultation
free; confidential. Attorney Madison, 239
Broadway"
1t is said that when a patron answered
an advertisement he or she was assured
that by agreeing to collision, an absolute
divorce could be obtained. In the case
of a woman. she was told that a core
| srondcnt would be produced at the ref
| eree's hearing who would swear to a
statutory violation with the unsuspect-
ing husband. 4 male witness would also
be produced to clinch the evidence.
When the applicant was a man, the
man and woman periurer changed places,
the man swearing to the criminal act
with the defendant and the woman ap-
pearing as a servant or seamstress or
chambermaid who was conveniently about
to furnish conclusive evidence of the I'M
faithfulneSS.

SIM MONS is OVER $4,000
Robson County Gave Him His Iarg-
est Majority.
DURHAM GAVE CARR HIS BIG MAJORITY
Several Counties From Which No Returns Have
Yet Been Received, But Most of Them
Are Known to be For
Bryan.

Mr.. Simmons majority in the Sen
atorial primary will be, in round num-
bers, very nearly $4,000.
From returns so far received, official
and semi-oificial, his majority is 53,93S,
with six counties to hear from. These
are Dare, Hyde, Mitchell, Moore,
Swain and Yancey-all Simmons coun-
ties, with the possible exception OF
Mitchell, Swain and 4ancey.
The banner Simmons county of the
State is Eobeson, which, gives him
2,O63 majority, or 90 more than the
majority given him by Wayne. The
largest majority received in the pri-
mary. however, is the 2,341 given to
General Carr by Durham. The largest
vote given for General Carr in the
east comes from Halifax, 1880; Will
son gave him LAO, though both coun-
ties were carried by Mr.. Simmons.
The counties carried by Carr were
eleven in number. with three doubt
full. The eleven known to have given
him a majority are: Alamance. An
son., Ashe, Cabarrus, Durham. Gran
Vile, Guilford. Mecklenburg, Orange.
Rowan and Union. The three doubtful
one yet to hear from are Mitchell,
Swain and Iancey.
The majority for Mr.. Bryan in
North Carolina will be. in round num-
bers. very nearly 10000, with thirteen
counties still to hear from. most of
them close. with the chances favoring
the Democrats. Mr.. Bryan now has
a majority of 10000.
Following is the best estimate that
can be obtained from returns received
in this city so far:

THE ISSUE.

We have heard a great deal this year
about "the paramount issue
So far as North Carolina is concern
ed the paramount issue is: How shall
we educate the boys and girls OF the
Stateo Beside that question every
other one dWarfs into insignlficarce.
The State owes duties to others, but
its highest duty is to educate the chill
dren who are 500 to become It's clll-
zens. North Carolina is poor because
so many of its people are ignorant.
No ignorant people ever amassed
wealth or procured comforts in COM
petition with educated people.
We are not among those who love
ia hold up North Cardinals llllteracy.
There is much less among people under
thirty that reports how and there
are much fewer children over eight
wears of age who cannot read and
write than is generally supposed. In
fact most white children can read and
write a little. There has been i'm
provement in the public schools. In
MANY towns graded schools have been
provided. There are still many where
school facilities are very poor. But,
comparatively. the children in most
towns nave a fair chance to get an ed
ucation. 1t is the children in the
country whose advantages are so poor
as to cause all good men to be asham-
ed of the States care for the educa-
ton of its children. To these children
the State owes it's first duty.
In the last Democratic convention
this resolution was adopted:
1--WE heartily commend the action OF
the General Assembly of 1899 for APP
propriating One Hundred Thousand
Dollars for the benefit of the Public
Schools of the State, and pledge our
selves to increase the school fund so
as to make at least a four months
term in each year in every school dis
irict in the State
This is a promise that was made to
be kept. 1t does not promise to do
for the children what is needed. 1t
simply promises to do what is feasible
and to do it without delay.
In his speech accepting the nominal
ton, Governor-elect Aycock declared:
1--WE are to have an educational awak-
ening that shall reach every o and
daughter in North Carolina" He viii
throw the whole weight of his in.
fluence to redeem his own and his
party's pledge.
How can better schools be given tt
the children of North Carolina? J.
can only be done by providing more
public money. Unless there is a large,
sum expended ON the schools, Their
can be no improvements, for the saia
ries of the teachers are as low as the,
can be placed. We hope the thought
full legislators and teachers will Civ
this question their serious considers
ton. We will be glad to have shor
communications from those who see
way Il increase the public schoC
fund. Though the Legislature Shout
do wisely in everything else, it woul
be a failure and deserve to be cor
demned if it should neglect this higi
est duty.
