Suicide Clause Futile.

Columbus, O., Feb. 5.-By a decision
in the supreme court in the case of the
National Union VS.. Dora Stoll of Gin
cinnati, it appears almost futile for
life insurance companies to put in a
clause against suicide in their policies.
Mrs. Stoll's husband held a policy
containing specific stipulation that the
policy should tecome void in case he
should commit suicide within two
years. He did commit suicide, but
they were required to pay the policy.

ment and declares that it has bitterly
disappointed the strongest advocates

Moootonors Tones.

If voices We're cultivated toward tx,
preston in speaking as well as in sing
ing, the variety of tone would be very
agreeable to the listener. Many people
find the monotonous tone used in ev.
eryday conversation very irritating
and would hail with delight any meth.
cd which would tend toward breaking
this tiresome sameness. Even beauty
Of tone does not ave this monotony
from condemnation. It is like striking
one key Of a musical instrument over
and over again. The teaching of elo-
cution should be of aid in this direc
ton or the practice of reading aloud,
striving to give proper expression to
each sentence.-Detroit News-Tribunc.

FEDERAL OFFICERS IN NORTH
CAROLINA ARE THREATENED
WITH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. =.
OF NEGROES CAUSE STIR.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Dec. Nv. A.
Hildebrand, the Washington correspond
ent of the Charlotte Observer, sends his
paper a story to the effect that as re-
suit of alleged illegal methods employed
in the late election in this state federal
officials will once more indict election Of
Of their constitutional rights at the last
North Carolina election. The news will
doubtless create a sensation in North
Carolina political circles.
1t is stated that District Attorney Hol-
ton has collected evidence against num-
erous registrars who declined to place
negroes names upon the registration
books because they could not spell cor
rectly all words submitted to them and for
similar causes, all of which, it is claim
ed, were in violation of the provisions of
the constitution, and not allowed by the
recent constitutional amendment under
which the last election is held. The fact
that congressman were voted for in the
November election serves to make it
matter for the federal officials.
A large number of indictments were
found against election officers two years
ago on the charge Of denying negroes of
their rights to vote, and considerable
pressure was brought to bear upon the
Republican leaders in order to get the
charges suppressed. The defendants in
those cases, it was stated, were merely
allowed to go upon their own recogniz-
ance subject to trial whenever IT should
be deemed advisable to bring the cases
to trial The indictments contemplated,
however, are entirely new affairs.

STEAMER PROeRESSo, LYING
IN PORT AT GOLDEN GATE
HARB0R, Is HURLED INTO
FRAGMENTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. "a disastrous
explosion occurred on the steamer Pro-
gresso today.
The Progresso was laid up at the Fulton
Iron Works and was being converted into
an oil burner, when one of her tanks ex-
ploded. A second explosion followed. The
steamer was burned to the waters edge.
Ten men have been taken to the general
military hospital at the Preside, and 1t is
said several men were killed.
The Progresso is owned by the Progress
so Steamship company, of New York, and
arrived here a few months ago from the
Atlantic coast.
She was formerly called the Falls City,
and was 265 feet long with gross tonnage
of 1913 tons. The repairs on her were
about completed.
Fire companies are now flooding the
Progresso. Three hundred men were
working on board at the time of the ex-
plosion. Some of them were thrown into
the bay.
Second Mate Jordan who had a narrow
escape says he has lost three men who
shipped lately from the east.
First Mate Sloan and Captain Harding
and the boatswain, escaped. The first
explosion occurred at $3.50 o'clock in the
first of the four oil tanks and the remain
ing three tanks exploded at 1910. making
il impossible at this time to tell how
many men have been killed or injured.
The army rendered prompt assistance

Matthews and Captain Smith were soon
on the scent.
Among the missing is First Assistant

DOLLY PR|TCHETT
WILL SOON Be
PARDONEO
YOUNG WHITE GIRL WHO is sERV-
ING LIFE SENTENCE IN PEN
ITENTIARY WILL GET
HER LIBERTY.

Dolly Pritchett, the young girl from
Cherokee county, who is serving a life
sentence in the penitentiary for infanti-
eide will be pardoned by Governor Terrell
The prison commission has recommended
that the young woman be released from
custody on the ground that she has been
sufficiently punished, and the chief execu-
tive will act in accordance with the rec
ommendation.
The recommendation of the commission
was made to the governor Tuesday, and
1t is probable that the governor will issue
the pardon this afternoon or tomorrow.
The case of the young girl from the noun
tains has attracted considerable attention
throughout the state. and many people
have interested themselves in her behalf
The commission would have pardoned
the girl a year or more ago If her mother
had agreed to allow her to be sent to re-
form school, but this her mother declined
to do and action was withheld. Tues
day, however, the commission took up the
case again and decided to recommend a
full pardon.
The action of the commission will be
read with wide interest throughout the
state, owing to the numerous people who
wrote letters to the commission recon-
mending a pardon. The girl is now in
the state farm where she has been since
sentenced to life imprisonment nearly two
years ago.

MESSAGE CRITICISED
BY SENATOR
CARMACK
THE TENNESSEE SENATOR SAYS
ROOSEVELT HAS CHANGED
FRONT ON THE TRUST
QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Ex-senator
Carmack, the red-headed son of Tonnes
see, has lifted up his voice again in expo
sition of President Roosevelt's national
attitude in an interview on the message
to congress.
The picturesque southerner says Roose-
velt's message, interpreted, means that
we, as nation, are to mount broncho,
charge through space and shoot up the
universe But here is the interview in
full:
'He begins says the senator, with the
usual resounding rhetoric concerning the
greatness we have achieved by killing a
few hundred thousand Filipinos and the
great parts we are to play in the world
by which 1 suppose he means this country
is to mount its broncho, charge through
space and shoot up the universe.
when he comes to the trusts and mo-
nopolies. the presidents chief anxiety
seems to be to erase the impression made
by his Minneapolis speech a little over a
year ago. In that speech he dwelt upon
the enormous growth of both private and
corporate fortunes as a pressing danger to
the republic. In his present message he
tells the country that the so-called great
fortunes are really very small as compared
with the wealth of the people. And that
the people in fact are getting along a
great deal better than the trusts. In re-
gard to dealing with lnonopolistic corpo-
rations his advice to congress is to rattle
its drums and shoot over their heads.
"He favors arbitration as between civ
ilized nations, but as to the uncivilized,
the more of them you kill the better it
will please God. He excuses the atrocities
in the Philippines by calling them occa-
sional instances of cruel retaliation, say
ing that every effort has been made to
prevent such cruelties and to detect and
punish the wrong-doers. This is said in
the face of the fact established by the
senate committee that there had been
an organized system of torture in the Phil
ippines, whose victims were numbered by
the hundreds and that not the slightest
efforts had been made to suppress It and
not one single man had been punished
on the contrary. every effort on the part
of the war department was to whitewash
every crime and to blackwash everybody
who told the truth about it"

COTTON CROP
10,417,000
BALES
THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURE ANNOUNCED CROP
SUMMARY FOR THE COTTON
STATES TODAY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The statisti-
clan of the department of agriculture esu-
mates the actual growth of cotton in the
United States in the year 1923 as O,4II'-
900 bales of an average net weight of 1927
pound
The area picked or to be picked is esti-
mated at 27,114, 103 acres, a reduction OF
764, 227 acres, or 2.74 per cent from the acre
age planted.
The total production of lint cotton is es-
timated at 5111, S7O,O2S pounds, an average
of 1SS5pounds per acre. The estimated pro-
duction by states in pounds of lint cotton
per acre is as follows:
Virginia, AS North Carolina, go; South
Carolina, 1879; Georgia, 165; Florida, 12O;
Alabama, IA; Mississippi, 20; Louisiana,
262; Texas, las; Arkansas, 26S; Tennessee,
go: Oklahoma 2S2; Indian Territory, PA.
The phenomenally favorable weather
that has prevailed almost continuously
for some weeks past throughout large
portion of the cotton belt has mace sub
stantial additions to the cotton crop as
indicated on October 3. All the eight
states which at that date reported a
condition higher than at the correspond
ing date last year have still further i'm
proved their positions, while two Louisi-
ana and MississippD of the five states that
compared unfavorably with the year of
1901, now report slightly higher average
yields per acre than a year ago, leaving
only Texas, Georgia and Alabama with an
unfavorable showing. The commercial
crop will consist of the above mentioned
1O,4l7,OOO bales, together with 154.592 bales
brought forward from last year, about
275C0O bales of Iinters and sample cotton
and so much of the crop of 10000 as may
be marketed before September 1, 1903
less 19S,19O bales of the present crop
marketed before September /, 1902, and
so much of this same crop as may be
carried forward to the year 1903-N.

The morning edition of The Times was
discontinued with Saturdays issue. There
