Trouble Between Capt. McCalIa and
Lieut.. Com. CoIweIL

Washington, Nov. 19.-The proceed
ings in the case of Capt. McCalla is a
court of inquiry and not a court martial.
time ago that trouble had arisen between
Capt. McCaHa, commanding the Newark
and Lieutenant Commander John G.
CoIwell. formerly naval attache at Lon
don, and now executive officer of the
ship. While the department was ac-
quainted with the fact it left the matter
to the commander-in-chief of the sta
ton, Admiral Reney, to adjust. He has
now found it necessary to appoint
court of inquiry, which will determine
the merits of the dispute between the
two officers. Should this tribunal recon-
mend a court martial in the case Of
Capt McCalla it would be necessary to
relieve him Immediately from his COM
mand and order him to the United
States. for there are not a sufficient
number of officers of the required rank
on the Asiatic station to form court
martial for the captain.

WANTS THE COURT ROOM.
Semi Centennial Exposition Company
Wants 1t For q Work Room.

County Treasurer Philips has filed a
petition with the county commissioners
asking that the Kansas Semi centennial
Exposition company be allowed the use
of the court room to be vacated by the
court of appeals.
The court of appeals goes out Of bust
ness in January, and 9the north court
room on the second floor of the court
house will then be vacant Mr.. Philips
asks that the exposition company be al
lowed to use the room on the grounds
that the exposition is a matter of pub
lie interest and benefit to the city
county and state. There has been some
talk of allowing the city court to use the
court ROOM The city court is at present
situated in a not over desirable room
in the basement. If the commissioners
decide to allow the city court the court
room other quarters may be found for
the exposition company.

Nation, Ill. Nov 19=Failure to
place a 2-cent revenue stamp on a note
for $25 precipitated trouble between Ma
thaniel Myers and F. A WEIGH two
Clark county farmers Myers gave the
note to Welch as security for pasture
rent. a difference arose over the terms,
and Myers refused to pay, claiming there
was no revenue stamp on the note and
it was not binding. The justice before
whom the case was tried upheld Myers
contention.
WEIGH brought the matter before the
federal authorities and Myers was ar
rested on a charge of violating the in
ternal revenue law. Today United
States Deputy Commissioner Dyas at
Paris heard the case and, while there
was a technical violation of the statute
decided that Myers had not intended to
defraud the government and he was dis
CHARGED.

FOOTBALL AT KANSAS CITY
Ottawa to Play the Strong Medic
Eleven Today.

Ottawa, Kan, Nov. 19.-The Ottawa
university football team, which has been
so crippled for the past few days, has
rearranged some of the positions of in
dividual players and will put up a much
stronger game with the Kansas City
Medics today than has been expected
by those in close touch with the team:
In fact, the lineup Saturday night and
the vigor and team work shown was on
a decided par with anything shown by
the team this season. Peterson has
gone to complete the season with EN-
poria and Cook will take his place. Bar
nett will fill the position made vacant
at full back, and King viii probably go
into the game in his old time form. He
has been laid up with a sprained ankle
received in the Haskell game at Law
renee but is now back in the game
Lam bertson is also in good shape for
quarter. Thus the back field will not be
weakened by the absence of Peterson.
Captain Evans, who was slightly in
jured in the recent game with Emporia,
is again in prime condition and says he
will be able to help defeat the Medics
the second time.

SAD BLOW TO WILMINGTON
DR.. Strange Decides to Accept the Call
to Richmond-The vestry OF st.
James Appoints a Committee to Dis
suade Their Glove Rector.

This piece of news. though brief, will
be a sad blow to Wilmington.
A few weeks ago the vestry of st.
Paups Episcopal church, Richmond,
Va, sent a committee here to tender a
call to h Rev. Robert Strange, D. D.,
restor Of st. James church. of this city.
There has been painful dispense as to
whether DR.. Strange would accept the
call, but the Messenger Is reliably in
formed that DR.. Strange rendered his
resignation last evening to the vestry
of st. James. This is a painful indica-
tion that he has decided t. accept the
call to Richmond.
Upon receiving the resignation, the
vestry appointed a committee to wait
upon him OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
upon him Immediately in an earnest
endeavor to persuade him to withdraw
his resignation.
The Messenger, like all of DR..
Strange's friends, INDUCES the hope
that the committee will succeed in hold
ing him fast for Wilmington. 1t would
be a painful parting. indeed, for him to
part company with his people and his
friends and admirers here. Not only
are his Pensioners disturbed over his
likelihood of leaving us. but all our peo-
pie share with them the distressing
state of mind they are in.
DIR. Strange is beloved universally
in Wilmington, the place of his birth,
where everybody knows him-the warm
hearted, genial friend. the gentle Chris
tian man, and the able. logical minis
ter of the gospel. If Richmond gets
him 1t will be at a great loss to WI
mington. The field at Richmond is a
larger one for DR.. Strange and the
only consolation his friends will have
will be that the sphere of his usefulness
will be increased. perhaps. When he
goes he will carry with him the heart
of Wilmington.
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1900-11-09

was not Mr.. Richards fault, but was
owing to the slowness with which the
Geographic news came over the wires
from the Associated Press. They came
in slower than We have ever known at
any previous election
Besides the election returns, Mr..
Richards showed pictures OF Bryan,
Stevenson, Aycock, Simmons, Carr
and Bellamy. All the pictures were
greeted with cheers as they went upon
the
Numerous funny cartoons Were also
flashed on the canvass, along with the
advertisements of many of Whining
ton's merchants. There were also a Sc
ries of excellent advertisements for the
Southern Manufacturing Company, of
Richmond, Va, manufacturers of the
celebrated Good Luck" baking pow
der.
The crowd was good natured but the
news was so disheartening that the
people melted away towards 10 o'clock.
Quite a number remained till midnight,
however.

DIR. STRANGE ACCEPTS THE CALL.
He Has rendered His Resignation to
His Wilmington Church.

The Richmond Dispatch of yesterday
says:
REV. DR.. Robert Strange has decided
to accept the call to ST. PauTs Episco-
pal church, in this city. The fact
was made known in a telegram received
by the Dispatch last night, which states
hat DR.. Strange has rendered his
resignation to the vestry of his pres
ent charge in the city of Wilmington,
N. G. The church has, therefore, taken
steps to induce him to reconsider his
action, and an element of doubt en-
tiers into the matter, which will not be
set at rest until the final answer is re-
turned.
This announcement will be received
with peculiar pleasure by the people Of
Richmond in general and the congre-
cation of ST. Pauls church in particu-
lar. DIR. Strange is known as one of the
most able, brilliant and distinguished
clerics in the Old North State-a man
Of great personal charm INC magnet
ism. The impression he created upon
every one with whom he came in ON
tact during his visit to this city was
most favorable, and there will be great
rejoicing at his decision"
