HEAD CUT FROM BODY
A Man Killed by an A. C. |.
Train Near Colds
boro.
Especial to News and Observer


Goldsboro, N c., Dec. ia north
bound freight train on the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad. which passed here about
noon today, killed a white man at the
72nd mile post about three miles north
of this city. The man was lying with
his head on the rail and the wheels
passed over his neck, seyering the head
from the body. The engineer did not see
the man until the body rolled over into
the ditch. The train was stopped and
the conductor notified the section master,
who took care of the remains and notified
the coroner who held an inquest this af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Dempsey, the section master, says
that the man had just passed him about
an hour before he was struck by the
train. He said his name was X. L. Brock,
and that he lived about three and a half
miles south of Mt. Olive. Mr.. Dempsey
says he told Brock, that he had nothing
for him to do and that he soon left and
went on up the railroad.
Mr.. Dempsy says he noticed that the
man had bottle of whiskey in his pock-
ct, but he did not think the fellow was
drunk 1t is not known whether Brock
lay down and went to sleep or whether
be intended to commit suicide. The fact
that his head was lying across the track
is evidence in support of the suicide
theory.

SHE BROKE MY HEART
Pupil of VoItairine lie CIeyre,
Anarchist, Shoots Her
on the Street.
(By the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 19.-Voltairine
LIE Cleyre, noted anarchist and a teach
er of languages, was mysteriously shot
and mortally wounded today by Herman
Helscher, former pupil. The wol s.
dying in a hospital a9d Helsche .a

prompted The deed When arrest.
scher's only explanation was the lea-
ing:
1--WE were sweethearts, she and I. She
broke my heart and deserved to be
killed"
Miss lie Cleyre IS So years of age and
her assailant is n. The shooting ocrurr-
ed on the street in broad daylight and
was witnessed by a score of persons.
Miss LIE Cleyre was standing at a
street corner awaiting a car. Helscher,
who had disguised himself by means of
a false moustache, approached her from
the rear, and accosted her. Almost at
the same moment he drew a revolver
from his pocket and pointed it at the wo-
man who turned and attempted to run
away. She had gone only a few steps
when Halscher began firing upon her.
After discharging five shots at the flee
ing woman, three of which took effect,
he replaced the pistol in his pocket and
started to walk away. He made no effort
to escape and was Immediately arrested.
Miss lie Cleyre ran a short distance
and then sank, exhausted upon a door
step. She was carried into the house
and from there removed to hospital. In
her statement to a magistrate she denied
acquaintance with Helscher but when
he was brought before her minus the
false moustache she at once recognized
him. She declined, however, to accuse
him of having shot her. but asked the
police if he had admitted it. Neither
would she state the nature of her rela-
tions with Helscher.
Two bullets took effect in the woman's
right side, below the shoulder, and an
other imbedded itself in the right side
of the chest. The physicians hold out
no hope for her recovery.
Miss lie Cleyre has attained wide
spread notoriety through her anarchistic
utterances ana her intimacy with Emma
Goldman and other anarchists. She is an
accomplished linguist and musician and
has written much anarchistic literature
and many erotic poems

The Cabinet Approves Hays Course.

Washington, Dec. 19.-SeCretary Hay
laid before the Cabinet meeting today
the latest phases of the Venezuelan stu
alton. After thorough discussion of
the subject the Cabinet gave its un-
qualified approval to everything that had
been done by Secretary Hay and also-to
his plans for the future so far as they
were outlined. 1t is gathered that the
attitude of the United States is for the
present a waiting one in the hope that
the three allies will soon be able to
agree upon the basis upon which they
are willing to accept arbitration. So far,
no notice of the projected blockade of
Venezuela has been officially served on
our government.

Secretary Hay, Sir Michael Herbert,
the British Ambassador, and Senator De-
pew were in conference today, and it is
suspected that this phase of the case
was touched upon, although no confirma-
tion can be had at this time.
The German position presents the great
est difficulties for not only does it, in
volve demand for apologies which are
extremely repugnant, to Venezuelans, but
also presents so many points requiring
adjustment that it is evident that many
days or perhaps weeks must elapse before
that adjustment can be affected and the
case prepared for arbitration. And the
danger of delay in the face of blockade
which seriously cripples neutral com
merce and invites hostile collisions with
the Venezuelans cannot be over-estima-
ted. The efforts of the United States.
therefore, must be directed toward hast
ening Germany's action on the arbitra-
tion proposal.

giving Secretary Hay tn impression that
he is well-disposed to second any effort
of the United States to terminate the
present dangerous situation.
The French government has served no
tice that without abating her claims the
payment of which have been arranged,
she also claims tho right to have the
claims of French citizens which have
arisen since the adjustment above spoken
of. considered by the joint tribunal which
will adjust the Venezuelan debts, on a
basis of equality with those of the other
nations. This contention is strongly re-
sisted by some of the allied powers and
is one of the points which is likely to

and which must be disposed of before a
final arrangement can be made to arbi-

ascertain how the proposal would be re-
