Gorham Not in Jail.

The Governor has not yet received an
application for pardon in the case of j.
0. Gorham, the Southern Railway Law
Agent, who was fined $40 and sentenced
to twenty days Imprisonment in Jail for
tampering With the jury in a damage
case, in which the Southern railway was
the defendant
Three or four letters have been re-
ceived at the executive office asking the
Governor to set aside the judgment AS
yet the Governor has not taken up the
case. 1t has BEEN stated that Gorham
is getting up petition for pardon.
Gorham has not yet gone to jail At
the Supreme Court yesterday it was
stated in the clerks office that the judg-
ment of the court cannot be carried into
effect until the next term of Iredell Su-
perior Court, when the judge presiding
will order the execution of the sentence.
The decision of the Supreme Court APP
proving the action of the court below in
adiudging Gorham guilty of contempt,
was certified down to the clerk of the
Superior Court of Iredell last Monday.
What Gorham's reasons are in asking
for pardon have not yet been advanced.
He was adjudged guilty of contempt and
one of the most prominent trials of re-
cent years was terminated by reason of
his action. The Supreme Court sustained
the action Of the court below in all re-
spects.
The case against Juror r. A. Ramsay
was similar to that of the Southern's law
agent. He was fined $50 and sentenced
20 twenty days Imprisonment in Jail.

and he pronounced him suffering with a
severe affection of the lungs and treated
him for the same.
In four or five days he broke out with
a case of smallpox in its most malignant
form. 1t may be Well to remark here that
neither Mr.. Rush nor Mr.. Burroughs had
ever been vaccinated. Several physicians
were summoned from other towns and it
is said they pronounced it one the worst
cases ever seen in the State.
Shortly after he received the above
letter from Mr.. Rush which was forward
ed him from Charlotte. At that time Mr..
Rush was dead and buried, but Mr. Bfr-
ioughs' nurse did not let him know it
until sometime afterwards.

THE CHARGES FALSE
Report of Senate Committee
on Military Affairs lnves-
tigating Heistand Case
(By the Associated Press

Washingt on, Jan. 9-The Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs today unani-
mously agreed upon report on the case
making charges against Lieut. Col.
II. O. Heistand, of the army, and the
report was presented to the Senate by
Senator Cockreil as soon as that body
convened. The report contains a con-
else statement of the facts in the case as
brought out by the inquiry and casts no
reflection upon any of the officers Of
the Government whose names We're m =
toned in connection with the case
The report cites the charge quoted n
the resolution of inquiry that Colonel
Heistan1 was in 1899 engaged in forming
a combination for the purpose of con-
trolling the hemp product of the Philip
pine Islands and that the names of AS
sistant Secretary MekIejohn, Assistant
Attorney General Boyd, Assistant Secre-
tary Allen and Adjutant General Corbin
had frequently been mentioned by him
as associated with him in the enterprise
The committee finds that this charge
is not true.
With regard to the second charge, in
volving government officials, the commit
tee finds that Heistand and Hawks can
yassed the possibility of interesting thoS .
whose names are mentioned in tbs rcso
luton. The committee also finds tha'
Hawks made a claim upon Heistand { r
compensation for services, but the char !,
that Assistant Secretary Meklejohn guar
anteed to Hawks a position in the Gov
ornent services in part settlement of this
claim is not sustained by the commit
tee but it is found that Meiklejohn did
in March, 1900, appoint Hawks to the
position of inspector of the customs SER
vice in the Philippines, but that this APP
pointment was revoked by Secretary
Root in the May following.
Other findings are: That while Heis-
tand was the protector of the hemp COM
pany, he was not authorized to represent
the other government officials who We're
engaged with him.
That the matter of the adjustment OF
the tariff was never mentined directly
or indirectly by Colonel Heistand to Gen
eral Corhin, Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john, Assistant Attorney General Boyd or
Assistant. Secretary Allen.
THAT Hestand asked General Corbin TO
take stock and that the latter first as
scented and then declined.
The committee finds that the letter of
commentator of Hawks of date July 10,
1899, signed Jointly by Colonel Heistand,
Assistant Attorney General Boyd and As
sistant Secretary Meikejohn was not
signed officially by these officers and also
that the words "The Government will
look with favor on the same meaning
the enterprise, were not in the correct
copy of that letter.

SMALL POX is THE CAUSE
Neither City Nor County Would Aid
Him With His Sick Guest.
HIS HOTEL HAD TO Be CLOSED
Now Mr.. Num- Proposes to Bring Suit Agairs
the County to Recover Damages For
the Trade He Has
Lost.

Wilson county is probably in it for a
law suit.
This is the pleasant future for the
Board of Commissioners as an after
ath for the chicken pox or small rOx
epidemic in that county.
Mr.. B. F. Num-, of Wilson, was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Mum is the proprie.
ter Of Rriggs Hotel in that city. and it
will be remembered that travelling
man was taken sick while in his hotel,
and the case turned out to be small pox.
but Mr.. Num- said yesterday that the
man was now UP and walking about the
streets of Wilson with his face pitted
as small pox does its work.
Imms diately that Mr.. Num- found he
had a small pox patient On his hands
he called upon the authorities Of the city
and county to isolate the case either iii
some suitable house or in the county
pest house. This, Mr.. Mum says, they
declined to do, even though he was will
ing to bear the expense of removal.
and Mr. Num- bore the burden ct
heavy rent and heavy expenses with no
guests and no cash receipts. 1t is only
this week that he has re-opened the
hotel, after it has undergone thorough
fumigaticn and disinfectants have been
literally used.
1t is the idea of Mr.. Mum, and of his
attorneys that he has case against the
county Cor damages, and NJ. Mum pro-
poses TO test tie matter He was in
consultation with DR.. r. H. Lewis, Sec
rotary Of the State Board Of Health, and
from him obtained a copy of the law
which states that a county Sanitary
Board is responsible for the control of
matters pertaining to the public health.
1t is because the county Sanitary Board
of Wilson insisted that it was chicken
pox and not small pox which has caused
all the trouble, is the view Of Mr.. Nunn's
attorneys.
He will he represented in Wilson by
able attorneys, among them the names o.
Messrs. John f. Woodward and w A.
Finch being mentioned, while it is ex-
pected that Mr.. Jarlcs II. Pou, of Raj
eigh, will be in the case for the piaintin
also.
At a recent meeting of The city au
thorities a physician of Wilson presented
to the board the matter of the loss to
Mr. Mum, and asked the board TO aid
at least in the amount OF the rent This
was declined. and a similar appeal to the
county authorities met with similar
fate.
Mr. Num- is in earnest in the after. He
does not feel that he has been dealt with
as the law directs, and he proposes to find
it out. If the case comes before court
there is a probability of the entire small
pox condition OF Wilson county being

THE DEATH OF WILEY RUSH.
Mr. Chappell Writes Of the Case, Saying That
He Died of Small Pox
Especial to News and Observer. )

Hamlet, N. c., Jan. Sit will, no doubt,
be matter of interest to the people O.
North Carolina and possibly a surprise
to know that the late Wiley Rush. of
Ashehoro, died of smallpox-more es-
pecially since it was reported that he
died of congestion of the lungs. The facts
are these:
Mr. Rush, who was solicitor was holt
ing court at Salisbury. 1t was a two
weeks term. On Sunday at the end of The
first week, instead of going home he ran
down to Gastonia TO attend the Meth
odist conference, then in session. At
Charlotte Mr.. w. w. Burroughs travel
ing representative Of the Oglesby, De-
Witt CO., OF Lynchburg, Va, boarded the
train bound for the same place on the
same mission.
At the supper table at Gastonia Mr.
Rush said: "Will, l have cousin in
town | haven't seen in fifteen years.
want you to go with me around tonight
to see him.
The cousin referred to was Mr.. James
Neill. and they found him quite sick in
bed with an affection of the lungs which
was supposed to be pneumonia, so they
did not stay long.
From Gastonia Mr.. Rush returned 20
Salisbury and Mr.. Burroughs started ous
on the road On November 30th MI.
Rush wrote to Mr.. Burroughs the fol-
lowing note: (The original was shown
me tonight ard is, perhaps, the last let
ter ever written by Wiley Rush,
"Asheboro, n. c., Nov. 80, 1901.
Dear Wilt have just received a
letter from Dr. Wilson, OF Gastonia, say
