He STRUCK A TARTAR
And Got Lead Instead of Gold.
Bold Robber Beaten by
Conductor.
(By the Associated Press.)

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 30.-A bold at
up the New Orleans Cincinnati north
bound express of the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad as the train was entering
South Louisville at 2:30 this morning.
The highwayman secured but little booty
and is believed to have been shot by
the conductor, J. D. Keene.
Keene was going through the sleeper,
in which were the porter, the Pullman
conductor and one passenger, j. F. Moore.
A masked man sprung at Keene from a
dark corner and commanded him to throw
up his hands. Keene instead grappled
with the intruder. A bullet from the
robbers pistol stunned him and the high
wayman pulled the signal cord. While
the train was slowing down, he robbed
the Pullman conductor and Mr.. Moore,
securing $25 from the latter. AS the train
stopped the robber left the car. Conduc-
tor Keene had recovered his senses and
having secured a Winchester, left the
train in pursuit. of his assailant. He fired
several shots at the latter and after one
of them heard the robber utter a cry OF
pain. Keenc believes that his shot went
true.
Conductor Keene was removed to a
hospital. His wound. however, is not
serious. He is said to be the strongest
man in Louisville, and was at one time
national champion in several amateur
athletic classes.
No trace of the robber whom Keene
declares he Shot had been found up to
noon.
The statements of Conductor Keene
and Pullman Conductor Redford are
positive that but one man was concerned
in the robbery. The train crew say the
robber got on the train at Lebanon juno
ton, but they put him off at the next sta
tion and did not know he had caught the
last car

Inquiry Into the Grand Trnnk Horror
(By the Associated Press.)

Wyoming, Ont, Dec. 30.-The inquest
into the cause of the death of the vic
tins of Friday nights wreck On the
Grand Trunk Railway at Wanstead, was
continued today.
James A. Smith. brakeman on the
freight train, was the first witness. He
said that when his train arrived at Wan
stead snow had blocked the lever of the
switch and about two minutes were lost.
AT the time OF the collision the switch
was open but the freight was still on
the main line. The train was delayed at
Wyoming about eight minutes, taking wa
ter. The semaphore. he asserted, was
not displayed. He saw the stop sig
nal given by the rear man and had they
been continued the train would have
been stopped. He saw the express lights
fifteen seconds before the crash.
Jams Troyer, the night operator at
Kings Court Junction, the next witness,
said the first call he heard from London
was to stop number five, the express
train, but it had just gone by. He put UP
the semaphore Immediately.

CRASH! AND GEMS FLY
= la -
Belgian Block Flung Through
a Jewelers. Window.
In Full View Of Passing Crowds Man Starts
OFF With $40, 1000 Worth Of
Gems.
CBy the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 29-In full view of the
passing crowds, window in the shop of
r. Simpson & Co, on West Forty-second
street. was smashed with a Belgian paw
ing block tonight and $4,000 worth of
diamonds were stolen.
Only three of the gems were recovered
after the capture of the robber. 1t is
believed by the police that several men
were in the job and that the man who
broke the window passed the jewels to
confederates.
After an exciting chase, which was en-
tered into by hundreds of men, the rob-
her, who drew pistol and fought
desperately for his liberty, was captured.
He was more dead than alive when the
police rescued him from the crowd of
pursuers. He is nineteen years old and
calls himself William Madison, of Bos-
ton.
1t was one of the most daring robberies
heard of in New York for a long time.
The shop was about to close when paw
ing block, covered with paper, crashed
through the window and in an instant
/ tray of diamonds, rings and pins dis
appeared. One of the clerks jumped over
the counter and pursued the man, who
broke the window. A great crowd fol-
lowed and when the man was overtaken
he was buried under score of men and
so badly battered that physicians ser
vice was required.
Madison said he came here a week ago
and was prompted to commit the deed by
cold and hunger. 1t is said at the store
that at the time the window was broken
there was on show about $4,000 worth
of jewels.
Madison later told the police that his
name was Angus w. Mcpherson and that
he is a bell boy at a we'll known hotel
in this city. He said that he was heavi-
ly in debt and sought to relieve his mind
of the stringency by the robbery.

Fez Cannot Hold Out More
Than Three Days.
UNLESS SUCCOR is SENT
England and France Notify Spain That They
Twill Take No Advantage Of The Stua- l
ton. Foreigners Advised to
FLY to the Coast.
(By the Associated Press.)

Madrid Dec. 30.-A dispatch from Tan
gier, Morocco, today announced that the
rebels had cut the aqueduct which sup
piled Fez with water and added that the
city was now practically without water.
1t as further asserted that unless the
Kabyleh tribesmen from the routh come
to the succor of Fee the place must sur
render within three days.
The hostility against the Sultan is
spreading in Fez. The Moors are exhibit
ing photographs of him arrayed in ridic-
ulous garb. The Sultan yesterday assem-
bled the mobiles of the besieged town at
the palace and exhOrted them not to des-
pair, assuring the chiefs that the imperial
troops ultimately will triumph.
Great Britain and France have notified
Spain that they have no intention OF talk
ing any advantage of the situation in
Morocco and that they desire the main
tenance of the status quo, even in the
event of the Sultan being dethroned an l
his place taken by the prctender. These
communications have treasured the Span-
ish government which is thus relieved of
fears of international complications.

presiding elder, will move to Durham
just as soon as it is completed, and Orob-
ably before that time.
The salary of the presiding elder was
fixed at the same as last year, 81 500. In
addition TO this five per cent of the total
amount paid was assessed against each
church in the district, with ~e exception
of Trinity, to go towards paying house
rent for DR.. Gibbs until the new parson-
age is completed.
Messrs. Denmark and Gist, of Pennsyl-
vania, have purchased four acres of land
near East Durham and will erect az once
a large planning mill on it. Some Of the
lumber is being placed and the machn-
cry is coming in. 1t is said that the mill
will be the largest in this section, the
location for Durham was secured by the

PUBLICITY NOT THE REMEDY.
30 Declares Knapp of the Interstate icommis-
sion Speaking Of Corporations,
(By the Associated Press.)

10y the ASSOcldUeu tT6SS.)
Washington, Dec. 30.-The various sec
tiOns of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, held largely at
tended meetings today, at which papers
of technical nature were read.
Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in his paper, en-
titled capitalization and Publicity"
discussed the proposition that all cor
pOratiOns under Congressional control be
required to make full disclosure of their
genesis and operations so that it may be
seen how the amount ow money origi-
nally paid in, or the value of the assets
at any time owned, compares with the
par value of all bonds and stocks isued.
Mr.. Knapp said he ventured to doubt
the soundness of the argument that pub
licity would prevent stock watering. He
held it improved that the excessive issue
of corporate securities was source Of
such danger as OF excite public alarm
and said he was yet =, be convinced that
enforced publicity AZ not be a harm
full exercise of Idc authority. He
said in part:
THE justification for this proposal
must be found, if found at all, IN the
theory that the State is charged with the
duty of safeguarding the investment or
capital in corporate securities. To my
mind this is most serious proposition;
and l think We should long hesitate be-
fore ambarking upon such a paternal
venture. Leaving out the speculator
into account aud taking officially those
seeking honest investment, ten times
more money, to say the least. has been
sunk in farm mortgages, suburban lots,
patent rights, buying and selling grain,
cotton, and other commodities, where no
corporate shares were dealt in or even
existed. than was ever lost on account
of the fictitious or excessive issue of cor
porate securities. | cannot but regard
corporate publicity of the kind and TO
the extent advocated by many as a GER
tain and serious hindrance to effective
competition. Just as the Sherman Anti
Trust law, which is based upon an
economic fallacy, has indirectly aided the
very result At was designed to prevent,
so that compulsory disclosure of all cor
competition it was intended to support.
Bearing in mind how rapidly all kinds
of business are assuming the corporate
form, that the competition of individuals
is fast disappearing, and that competi-
tion in the future will be mainly be-
that the enforcement of corporate pub
licity would be an added incentive to in
dustrial combination"

(By the Associated Press))

Berlin, Dec 30.-King George OF SaXony
has ordered the preparation of full Of
fetal account of the elopemcht OF the
Crown Princess Louise and the circum-
stances leading up to it for the Saxon
people, among whom the most fantastic
stories are in circulation to the detri~
ment of the Royal House, and especial
ly with reference to the future King.
The scandal is undermining, according
to some opinions, the people loyalty
and respect for the throne. The dynasty
being Catholic and the people Protestant,
the affair is being utilized for sectarlan
controversy. The Kings statement,
doubtless, will follow the line indicated
in the intimations, supplied to the news
papers having court leanings, published
today, affirming that the Crown Princess
sole reason for eloping was her relations
with Prof. Giron and that documentary
proofs have been found showing that the
elopement had long been in preparation.
The stories of i'll treatment on the part
of her husband, Of oppressive court cere-
monial and of her fettered existence are
classed as Inventions
The Crown Princess own account of
the immediate cause of her flight from
Salzburg, written to an intimate friend,
l1'esumahEy ,the Princess Theresa of
Bavaria, was telegraphed from Munich
this morning. 1t says her father, the
Grand Duke of Tuscany, intended to i'm
prison his daughter either in a lunatic
asylum or in an Italian convent. He
had already consulted the coUtt~payss4-
clan and several medical authorities in
Vienna with the object of obtaining Ger
tifcates warranting him in shutting her
up. Her father the Crown Princess
says, was giving her no time for delb-
Grafton. He demanded, first. that she
be taken under guard to Dresden to
apologize to the Crown Prince and that
she then chose between confinement in
a convent or in a mad house.

IN DARK MYSTERY
The Corpse of John Rogers is
Found.
It is Believed That He Was Killed by Negroes.
He Disappeared Eight Weeks
Ago.
Especial to News and Observer }


Durham, N. c.. Dec. 30.-News reached
mere tonight that the remains of John
Rogers, a policeman, who disappeared
from his home at Virgilina, on the Nor
folk and Western road some eight weeks
ago, were found near that station on Sat-
urday by party Of hunters. The body
was so badly decomposed that recognition
was only possible by the weapons and
clothes Of the deceased
The story told me tonight is that about
eight weeks ago a negro was killed in
Virgilina. His body was found next
morning and with the finding of the body
Officer John Rogers disappeared. 1t was
generally supposed that Rogers killed
him. Rogers had money in the bank and
it was found that this had been taken
from deposit.
Later members of his family received
letter stating that Rogers had gone
to Asheville and that he would not write
again, and for them not to be uneasy.
This prevented any uneasiness on the
part of the family until the dead body was
found Saturday by hunters. The suppo-
sition is that Rogers killed the negro,
drew out his money and attempted to
get out of the country, but that he was
run down by the friends of the dead ne
gro, killed and then robbed. The same
authority makes the statement that
Rogers was engaged to well-knop--
young lady in the community. The whole
matter is wrapped in mystery.
This story is told by prominent citi-
zen living in that section. 1t is impossi-
BILE to verify it tonight on account Of
there being no telegraph connections after
dark.
