plauded equally as vociferously when
ever he declared with strenuous JUNCTION
that he was a better Democrat than the
nominee. beecaus he was brave enough
to be an independent Democrat, and
under no obligations whatever to any
body or any party.
When he exclaimed, why, fellow citi-
zens. in the North to be an independent
is a badge of honor" the whole push
went wild with delight at the utter guile
lessness and true political manhood OF
this robust candidate they had borrowed
from the Democrats for campaign pur-
poses only.
Mr.. Patterson is an excellent gentle
man personally and professionally, and
it is a pity he is blind enough to think
that others can be made to believe that
he is the only man in all this universe
who is superior to present environments.
and the political influences and bias that
moulded his character. If the speech he
made here last night was not a.stronger,
abler and more rational exposition OF
Republican principles than was that OF
Senator Pritchard the intelligent people
who heard him are not good judges. The
only trouble with Mr.. Patterson is, that
in pretending to be honestly trying to
think himself Democrat and proclaim
ing it from the housetops, while seeking
to stab in the fifth rib his Democratic
party superiors, he becomes chargeable
with political treachery, while il he
would practice what he preached, Re-
publican political fellowship, there would
be none to criticise him for it. or dis
pute his right to be a Republican can
didate. And the truth is, he would have
gotten a great many more votes.

IN TIE RADICAL CAMP.
Republic ms and Their Allies Keeping Things
Warm about Federal Court.
Especial to News and Observer)

Especial to News and Observer.)
Greensboro. N. C. Oct. 10.-Mr. Isaac
NJ Meekins, of Elizabeth City. is one of
the numerous influential Republicans who
have been here this week. Mr.. Meekins
cxpounded Republican doctrines to a very
small audience at jamestown last night.
Since he left home he has been honored
by "a Republican nomination for the
Legislature from his county.
Federal court seems to be star occa-
sion for Republican big guns. They have
been here from all parts of the State
during this week. Apart from the great
coming together of Republican lawyers,
the presence of influential Federal OIL
cials like District Attorney Skinner and
Collector Duncan, of the Eastern dis
trict have given the city more the stir
of continuous meeting of State Exc
cutive Committee, than of an ordinary
term of Federal court to try blockaderS.
1t is painfully noticeable too, that Chair
man f. II. Whitaker who is hcrding all
anti-Clark men together and who, some
time ago was awfully touchous about be-
ing accused of caucussing with Republi-
cans, has become so callous to his repu-
tation as a first class simon pure Demo-
crat that he openly touches elbows with
these awful Radicals, and actually swaps
jokes with them. His friends in Halifax
should be informed of the fact. that he
may escape the fcte of the moth lured by
the flame Of genial warmth.

Freight Traffic on the Seaboard Beginning TO
be Affected
(By the ASSOCIATED Press

Norfolk Va, Oct. 10.-The freight traf-
fic of the Seaboard Air Line is almost
crippled by the scarcity of coal. Today,
the coal that was aboard freight engines
was removed to passenger engines anu
only enough was secured to run the
southbound train from Norfolk tonight
The lines shops arc busy changing en-
gines to wood burners. The combine
street railway system of tidewater Vir-
einia is depending largely upon refuse
coal and scrap wood from the large mills
for fuel and have chartered barges and
tugs to gather the same. Their shut

Newport News. Hampton, Berkeley, and
adjoining suburbs in darkness and stop
cars and ferries. The Norfolk tug boat
owners met tonight and raised charges
on account of the coal scarcity.

PLATFORM OF THE
OREGON DEMOCRATS

Portland. Ore. April 1o.-The follow
ing is a synopsis OF the platform
adopted by the Democratic state con-
VenUOn:
The platform favors a tariff for rev
enue only and opposes any protection
whatever to trusts, combines and cor
porations with which the Republican
party is in iniquitous alliance and
which partnership is calculated to over
throw Republican Institutions and sub
vert the liberties Of the people 1t fav-
ors placing on the free list all trust-
made articles of every kind.
On the Philippine question the plat
form says: THE inhabitants of the
Philippines have petitioned for free
trgde with the United States and their
request has been seconded by the Phil
ippine commission and the sentiment
OF the American people; yet a Repub-
ican congress refuses any proper re-
lief. but enacts tariff laws for those
islands more burdensOme and less de-
feasible than the acts of the British
parliament against which our forefa-
theirs rebelled. The policy that makes
one law for the Hawaiian islands. an
other for Porto Rico and another for
the Philippines cannot be upheld on
any ground except that of subseTviency
insular possessions are either part Of
our country or are foreign territory. If
part of our territory the people are en-
titled 10 the trade privileges that are
granted any of our territories, and any
legislation that restricts that privilege
/ Is Odious to the American spirit and
disgTaceful to the American govern
ment. We believe that the true policy
is to prepare the people Of those ISL
ands for self-goveTnment as speedily as
possible, and when so prepared to grant
/ them their independence, retaining such
c0aing stations and ports as may be
necessary to protect those islands from
foreign interference, and 10 maintain
our trade relations in the orient.
The platform demands the passage of
the Mitchell-Kahn Chinese exclusion
bill, and also legislation to restrict the
immigration of japanese labor. favOrs
the election of United States senators
( by popular vote. the initiative and ref
erendum system; the speedy construc-
ton of the Nicaraguan canal and the

domain to individuals or corporations,
( and the ship subsidy bill now before

such combinations of competing rail-
/ roads as was made in the formation of

and identified the mangled and bloody
remains as those Of his daughter. The
spot where Miss Jennett was murdered
was peculiarly adapted to the awful
crime. The nearest electric light IS
three blocks away and there is not a
house in the block
When the police learned that Miller
and Miss Jennett had been well ac-
qualnted and that he had given her
music lessons, Captain Baker went to
the house Miller took the announce
ment of the girls death coolly and
asked no questions regarding the muir

take him into custody. When placed
in the sweatbox at the police station
he had himself under control and an
sWered all questions apparently in a
straightforward manner.
The officers then asked him to take
of his coat and vest, and then one Of
the most dramatic events known to the
police took place. With great reluc-
lance the music teacher removed the
garments. The officers took off his
cellulOid cuffs and rolled up the wrist
bands of his white shirt
On the inside Of these were found
blood stains. When the officers looked

happy man turned deathly white and
tell on the floor in a fainting fit He
was restored to consciousness and was
led to a cell, on the way to which he
tainted again. Blood stains were also
found on his trousers. Some were on
his OvercOat and more on his hat. The
hat, derby had evidently been
washed, but not sufficiently, as blood
crystals were positively identified.
Captain Baker went into the cell
with him after he had recovered some
what from the fainting condition, and
spoke TO him. Miller looked up and
said.
Il know nothing about the matter.
In the sweatbox Miller claimed that
last night he attended a meeting of the
Wolverine circle, an insurance organ
izatiOn on Baker street, and that he
left about II O'Clock If true, this
would be a sufficient abb, for the muir
der took place at II o'clock, or few
minutes later.
While the police were bending all eff
forts today toward running down the
slayer of Miss Jennett, whose multi
ated body was found on Thirteenth
street last midnight, a second brutal
murder was discovered.

Clyde Butler, young man from

he had received from the company.
The young man is an employe of the

about the station for a few minutes
The two strangers opened a converse
ton and one produced a small compli-
Gated lock, which he declared was a
marvel Of workmanship. Butler eX-
amined the lock. but failed to see any
thing extraordinary about it. The dis
Cussicu led 20 che offer of a wager by
one Of tho strangers that the lock
could net be uLfastened by anyone not
acquainted with the combination.
The wager was accepted BY Butler
and all the cash he had was placed on
his Judgment. His roll was not large
enough. however. TO cover the amount

individual produced a roll astonishing
