MISS LULA WO0DELLs DEATH
CLOSES LOVELY YOUNG LIFE
Friday Sees the Funeral of One Who Passed
Suddenly Away From Loved
Ones.

The sad news of the sudden and uneX-
pected death of one of Raleigh's loveliest
young women was heard yesterday after
noon Just a few minutes before two
o'clock the spirit of Miss Lula Woodell
passed from it's mortal tenement into the
presence CT her Maker.
On Friday night Miss Woodell was at
choir practice at Christ church and so
far as is known was Well on Saturday. On
Sunday while talking with her sister she
suddenly had an attack of acute indiges-
ton and spasm followed spasm. This at
tack was followed by pneumonia and her
condition became critical, death ensuing
at 1865 yesterday afternoon despite the
best medical attention.
Miss Lula Mckee Woodell is native
of Raleigh, having been born here TWEEN
ty-six years ago. She is the second daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. b. Fl. Woodell and
has three brothers and two sisters. Her
brothers are A. f. Woodell. of Atlanta,
Ga. Chas. J. Woodell of this city, who
were at the bedside, and E. H. Woodell,
of Washington, ID. c., who is expected this
morning. Her sisters are Mrs. ]. S. Jones,
and Miss Mary Woodell, OF this city.
Her father is the grand secretary of the
Odd Fellows of North Carolina for many
years, and in his deep grief he will have
the heartfelt sympathy of this order and
of a large circle of friends, who knew
and loved his daughter. She was a young
woman of lovely traits of character and
the passing years have only added to her
list of warm friends and admirers. Her
death is a peculiarly sad one and this
community sympathizes most deeply with
the grief stricken mother, the devoted
father and the loving sisters and brothers.
The funeral will be held from Christ
church on Friday morning, and there will
be gathered many of those who grieve
because of the death of this lovely young
woman.

derstanding of the warning he has re-
ceived let him and his hackers abide the
decision"
Jeffries was asked today for an esti-
mate of the length of the fight.
We'll" he said, Il know that Rubin
has not been standing still since | met
him last. He has improved very much and
| have an idea that he will bore in from
the jump. Maybe III stop him in the
first round; maybe the second but really
| do not think it will last longer than
fifteen"
The same question was put to Rubin.
Il feel strong" he said, "as well as
ever did in my life. / feel as though |
can fight and fight hard, but it's the best
man that wins and how can one tell now
but what Jeffries is the best? OF course
l don't think So but would not want to
say that the fight would go five rounds
or ten rounds, or that l could polish him
off in one, though / may prove my ability
to do So"
Two San Francisco physicians examined
Jeffries this morning just after he finished
his road work, and they pronounce him
to be in superb condition. His heart ac-
ton was strong and regular, which, taken
with his general health, indicated to their
minds the possession of an ability to go
to the limit of human endurance.
Another physician said the same thing
about Rubin. He found his pulse to be
&c, which the medical scientist declared to
be a marvel. The champions pulse is
regular at so.
Billy Delaney. acting for Jeffries, has
made arrangements with the San Fran
cisco Athletic Club to bring about a
meeting between him and Sharkey on De-
cember 90 in event of Champion Jeffries
beating Rubin. Sharkey is expected to
arrive Friday morning and if the outcome
of the big battle is favorable to the prop
osition he will go into training imme

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA
Roosevelt Receives Delegation Who Urge its
Importance
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Nov. ia distinguished
body representing the commercial or
CARNATIONS of New York, Boston Buffalo,
Pittsburg Cleveland, indianapolis and
Cincinnati, called upon the President to-
day to urge the Importance of reciprocity
with Canada. j. r. Lesson. of Boston,
acted as spokesman of the party.
He told the President that next to
Great Britain and Germany, the trade of
Canada with the United States repre-
scented more in money to the manufac-
turers and producers of the United States
than that of any other country, and that
unless something was done to further
that trade in the way of reciprocal con-
tcessions all of it might be endangered.
The President said that he did not
need to be reminded of the Importance
of question to which he had given much
thought and attention. He said, how
ever, that he did not think it proper for
him to express a preference for recipro
city with one particular country: that
the whole subject was being canvassed
and he hoped that something would be
done at the approaching session of Con-
gress. He added that the organizations
represented could do much by bringing
influence to bear upon their representa-
tives' in Congress.

A SINGULAR CASE DECIDED.
How Fourth Glass Postmasters Pay Was In
creased by Gouchenour's Scheme
(By the Associated Press.)

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 13.-Judge Clark
of the Federal Court, sitting at Greene
Vile, Tenn, decided a case today which so
far as known is without precedent. H. H.
GouchenOur, the Democratic county chair
man, of Greene county, sought campaign
contributions and in order to secure same
he went to Democratic postmasters in
the county, asked them to contribute $40
each Gouchenour to mail enough political
documents through their offices so that
their increase in pay based on stamp can
cellations (theSe being fourth class Of
fices) would amount TO as much as, or
more than the amounts asked for cam
paign purposes. The effect would be to
increase the pay of fourth class post
masters at the expense of the Govern
ment Three indictments were found at
the last term of court against him and
certain poStmasters on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud the Government. To
these indictments demurrers were filed
based on the theory that no offences are.
charged as person has the right to mail
matter on which postage has been paid
in any postoffice in the United States.
These demurrers were sustained today
by Judge Clark.
An appeal to the United States Court
of Appeals at Cincinnati was taken by
Attorney General Wright.
Gouchenour is a prominent Democrat
and made the race for Congress at the
last election.

MEXICO WANTS THE TRUSTS.
She Considers Them Necessary and Will
Change Laws to Favor Them
(By the Associated Press.

10y the ASSUcldJcu ITeSS'J
Mexico City, Nov. 13.-Renewed reports
in financial circles attribute to the Stand
ard Oil group the purpose to establish
large trust company here which will do
banking business and provide means for
financing large American undertakings,
these being continually growing in i'm
portance
Present Mexican legislation does not
contemplate trust companies as they are
known in the United States and there will
have TO be extensive changes made in
existing laws to give full scope to a
trust company. This it is now said, is I'M
der consideration by the Government. 1t
is recognized that this country's BUSH
ness development has reached point
where trust companies are necessary. Old
established banking interests resent the
increase of American financial influence
and will probably make opposition to the
eifecting of changes in the laws favorable
to the new American financial project.
However the administration is not hostile
to American business influence and will
probably favor large trust company
which would surely assume an important
place in the banking world here.
