MR. RAYNER TALKS.
He Fears The Schley Resolutions Never Will
Come Up,
Baltimore SUM

Attorney General Isidor Rayner was
Sun after his return from WASHINGTON.
when asked about his visit to the ma
tional capital Mr.. Rayner said:
II went to Washington strictly on bust
ness in the Supreme court, and, strolling
ipto the House of Representatives, hap
pened to meet Mr.. Cummings, who is on
tn Naval Committee. and other meui-
bers of the House. AS the occasion pre-
sented itself l thought / would obtain
some information as to the status of
these various bills in reference to Adj
miral Schley
Il hope / am mistaken said Mr.. Ray
ner. but it looks to me as if the Re
publicans are making a party question
of it. l as nformed-wrongly, / hope
that the Speaker of the House, in tEc
exercise of the tyrannical authority
that appertains to his office. had posi-
lively determined that these bills
should not come up. / know from ex-
perience that the speaker possesses this
strange power under our free institu-
tions-that he is virtually the Commit
tee on Rules, and that if he declines 10
give the Naval Committee day for
the consideration of a bill this is virtual
ly the end of the bill even if everybody
in the United States were in favor of it.
This is awful to contemplate, but il is
the truth.
"Of course, if the delegation from
Maryland were possessed of the spirit
and determination to press these meas
ures to the front things might assume
different shape; bat as yet see 10
omen of such purpose.
IF any of these resolutions come be-
fore the House I believe. from what |
have heard from all over the country.
that it would be impossible to defeat
them. except at the risk of Defeating

DEATH PENALTY CHANGED
TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Drew Vaughan, of Hartford, was to Have been
Hanged Today at
Winton

Drew Vaughan, the HEREFORD county ne
gro, who was to have paid the death
penalty today at Wirton, has been given
life sentence in the penitentiary.
Governor Aycock yesterday commuted
TIE death sentence and Vaughan will be
brought to the prison at once to spend
the remainder of his life.
Drew Vaughan has had the benefit OF
three reprieves which the Governor grant
ed at the request of Mr., Geo. w. Cooper
and other citizens of Hartford county, in
order that he might thoroughly consider
all phases of the case. The evidence was
largely circumstantial and as there was
a doubt as to the negro's guilt the Gov
ernor decided to commute. There were
numerous petitions in favor of executive
clemency, one of which was signed by
the twelve Jurors who returned a verdict
of guilty.
The crime for which Vaughan was con-
victed was committed at Murfreesboro
last spring. John Barton, an old negro
employed as fireman on steamer, was
brutalIy killed. His body was found in
the engine room on the boat while it was
at it's wharf at MurfreeSboro. He had
been dealt three blows on the head with
a hammer A box which contained his
papers and money was missing and this
led to the view that the murderer's pur
pose was robbery. The box was found
back of a store in Murfreesboro and the
papers which it contained had been de-
stroyed and the money taken.

A MAGNIFICENT Tribute.
Coz, Birkheimers Estimate Of the Late Bradley
Wooten Who Served Under Him.

A magnificent tribute was paid the late
Lieut. Bradley Wootten in Sundays New
York Sun by the Colonel of the Regiment
in which he served in the Philippines,
Col. William e. Birkhimer of the Twen-
ty-eighth Infantry. 1t is a splendid trib-
ute to noble young life and is publish
ed here:
News is brought us of the death in
Cuba of Second Lieut.. Bradley j. Woot-
ten Seventh United States Cavalry, and
il is due to his character and services
that a brief Regular army career should
not, thus be terminated without appro-
pirate notice from those who knew him
in the distant fields of the Philippine ar
chipelago. and knew what that character
and those services were.
In November, 1899. the Twenty eighth
United States Volunteers landed in Lu-
zon, Immediately going to the front. The
subject of this notice was First Lieuten-
ant and Adiutant of the First Battalion.
AS Colonel, but now for the first time
looking upon this physically splendid or
ganization, yet recalling Civil War Vol
unteer experiences, the undersigned did
not at first expect much in the way of
these new officers. Lieut.. Wootten, how
ever Immediately attracted attention by
his soldierly bearing and cheerful per-
Torrance of every duty. He stood out
before his superiors the loyal subordin-
ate, the true commander. whose correct
notions of discipline were born in him,
pervading his whole nature, and whose
example contributed powerfully to the
upbuilding and maintenance of the regi-
ments reputation in that trying climate.
1t was natural that such On officer
should be called upon in all exigencies;
and while all this is true it also is true
that he always acquitted himself with
greatest credit. His service was of the
hardest. Alas! too much was put upon
him. The Seventh Cavalry has been the
training school for gallant soldiers. But
in all that proud galaxy there never has
been a soul superior in all military in
stincts to the youth in honor of whose
memory its officers today bear upon
their side arms the badge of mourning

REV. L. @. BROUGHTON DECLINES
TIE CALL TO BOSTON CHURCH
Says He Will Die in Atlanta and Announces a
Sensational New Doctrine.

The Rev. Len G.. Broughton has declin-
ed the call to the big Baptist church
in Boston, which he recently received
and was announced by the Associated
Press a few days since.
He says he will die in Atlanta and the
following from the Atlanta Journal will
interest the people of Raleigh, where Rev.
Mr. Broughton was born:
The Rev. Len G. Broughto on pastor Iof
the Baptist Tabernacle, will not leave
Atlanta to go to Boston. He announced
his decision to his congregation last
night. According to his decision, neither
the Hub City, nor any other city can Sc
cure his permanent pastoral services, as
he has made up his mind, so far as the
matter rests with him. that he is a fix
ture and intends to live and die in At
lanta. He said:
ut has been reported here and else
where that I have been thinking of leav-
ing Atlanta. 1 want to say that, after
carefully going over everything, that 1
am, SO far as l am concerned, fixture
in Atlanta and l intend to live and die
here"
Inc announcement OIL DI bIOuSHtoH
of his decision was received with eager
interest by the members of his flock and
others of the large congregation who had
assembled to hear him. There was an at
tempt at applause, but this was quickly
suppressed by the choir singing: praise
God from Whom All Blessings Flow
In his sermon last night announcing
his decision DR.. Broughton outlined for
the first time his policy with the taberna-
Gle. What he said in this connection will
probably be startling to Baptists and
other denominations, in view of some of
it's doctrinal bearings. Here are some
of the things he will advocate:
l. Premillenial coming to Christ.
g Second blessing and present-day Pen
ticostal power.
g. Absolute prohibition of card players,
theatregoers, club members and the like.
4. Denial of higher criticism in refer
ring Biblical Interpretation to the schol-
arship of today.
5. Religion in politics.

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements of society
more numerous. The first effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in a
weakened or debilitated condition of
the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t is
clearly seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the system, give vigor and
tone to the nerves, and keep the diges-
tive and assimilative functions healthy
and active. From personal knowledge
we can recommend Hoods Sarsaparil-
la for this purpose. 1t acts on all the
vital organs, builds up the whole sys-
TEN. and fits men and women for these
high pressure days.
