TO AID IN EDUCATION
RockefeIIe Plans to Help De-
serving Institutions in
The South.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 1O.--It became
known today that the bill for the "in-
corporation of a general educational
board" which recently passed the House
of Representatives is intended to pave
the way for the establishment of an
educational center of extensive proper
tions in this city. The measure was in
troduced at the instance of John d.
Rockefeller and other persons of wealth,
who, it now develops intend to create
fund to aid existing schools and colleges
without any restriction as to the age,
SEX or color of attendants. The meas
ure also is without limitation as to the
section of country in which the schools
shall be located, but it is known that it
the undertaking to improve educational
facilities of the South, including those
for the Improvement of colored youth.
There is no intention of building up an
educational institution at any place The
headquarters and Offices of the corpora
ton will be located in Washington. No
definite figures can be given by anyone
here as to the amount to be invested
but those who know anything Of the plans
believe the volume of money will be suf-
f1cient to meet all real needs of deserv-
ing institutions in the Southern States.
Mr.. Rockefeller has not promised any
specific amount, but he has let it be
known that he will give literally. The
names of other wealthy men who will
join him in the enterprise have not been
made public.
The incorporators named in the act,
are the following well-known educators:
n
body, Morris x. Jessup, Robert c. Ogden
William H. Baldwin, Jr., Jabez L. NJ
Curry, Frederick T. Gates, Walter H.
Page. and Albert Shaw The understand
ing here is that the institution will be

Charlotte Is Shocked by a
Terrible Tragedy.
THOMAS WILSON Is SLAIN
Arthur Bishop Drinking Wine With Wilson'S
Daughter and Another Girl is Ordered
From Wilson's House and the
Tragedy Follows.
Especial to News and observer.)


Charlotte, N. c.. Dec. 10.--Arthur
Bishop, the young travelling man from
Petersburg. Virginia, who last night
slew Thomas j. Wilson at the threshold
of Wilson's home. is still at large but
the police authorities state that he is
in the corporation limits of Charlotte,
give himself up before the dawning of
another day.
The murdered man leaves a wife and
six small children. A 17-year- -old daugh-
ter of the dead man, it must be admitted
contributed to her fathers death.
Bishop came to Charlotte about week
ago ostensibly on one of his regular
trips to see the shoe dealers of this
city He travels for f. NJ. Hoyt & Com
pany, of Boston, and it is said the firm
enjoys a large trade throughout this
section. While here he met young girl
named Lena Shultz. and the two formed
great attachment for each other.
Last night Bishop and Miss Shultz met
by engagement at the home of Jacob
Meyer, who lives three doors from the
Wilson's. While Bishop and Miss Shultz
were in the parlor. Miss Ada Wilson, a
daughter of the dead man, appeared at
the Meyer home, she was intimate with
Lena Shultz, also with the Meyer family
The three were engaged in conversation
when Meyer produced some wine, 1t is
now claimed that the wine was puf-
| chased by Bishop and that Meyer only
served it.
At any rate the two girls and Bishop
drank wine for some time and then the
Wilson girl invited the two to her home.
Another bottle of wine appeared very
mysteriously at the Wilson home, and
the three drank of this bottle Just
about the time the three had consumed
all the wine Mrs Wilson, who was
sleeping in an adjoining room, aroused
by the reveley in the parlor went to the
door to see what was going on.
To her very great surprise she saw
her daughter. Miss Shultz, and strange
man seated by a table on which were two
empty bottles of wine She called her
husband, who came to the door of the
parlor and ordered Bishop to leave the
house Bishop retorted that he was a
gentleman and wished to be so treated
Wilson caught hold of Bishops coat and
attempted to force him from the room.
He succeeded in dragging him to the
door leading to the front porch, and
there, while the two men were discuss
ing the trouble, Bishop drew his gun
and placing the muzzle of the weapon
against Wilson's stomach, fired
The unfortunate man fell in his door
way and expired in a few minutes.
Bishop fled leaving behind him hir hot
which has hole knocked in it. The
Shultz girl claims that Wilson struck
Bishop across the head with d cane.
The affair has caused a profound SEN
sation. All parties are good people.
Bishop has wife and children living in
Petersburg

sion TO Consideration of
This Measure.
(By the Associated Press. }

the unfinished business from the last
session and by agreement today was fixed
for calling it up Early in the morning
hour, Mr.. Quay submitted a report of his
own, and its reading occupied the time Of
the Senate until o'clock when the
Statehood bill was laid before the SEN
ate. Mr.. Beveridge, chairman of the
Committee on Territories, then presented
the committee report.
In the course of the reading of the
several reports and the Statehood bill,
the Senate passed bill refunding GER
tain revenue taxes to owners of private
dies, and also bill relieving certain
importers from the duty on tea placed

Just before adjournment, Mr. Nelson
secured permission to withdraw the sub
stitute Statehood bill in order to perfect

Address by Ex-speaker Grow.
fBy the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 10.-The only
feature of the House proceedings today
was a thoughtful speech by Mr.. Grow
Pa) the venerable ex-Speaker of the
House, on the relations between labor and
capital. At the end of the present sess-
sion of Congress Mr. Grow retires, at the
age of 70, after a career in public life
extending over half century.
His speech was regarded as his vale
dictory to public life and was listened
to with close attention by his colleagues
His conclusion was that some sort of
co operation between labor and capital
was the only solution Of the impending
problem.
A bill was passed in general terms de-
signed to relieve the tea importers from
the effect of the recent decision of the
Circuit court in New York, imposing the
ten-cent war duty on tea imported in
bond prior to the time when tea is re-
stored to the Free List, January l, 1903
Another bill. to refund the duties coll
lected on merchandise from Porto Rico
and the Philippines during the period
between the ratification of the Treaty
of Paris and the Congressional Revenue
Acts for those islands also was passed.
The Pure Food bill was made contin-
uing order not to interfere with appro-
priation bills until it is disposed of.

The British Foreign Office Speaks.
(By the Associated Press.


London, Dec. 10.-7 p. m.-In response
to an inquiry made at the Foreign Office,
q representative of the Associated Press
was informed that, up to o'clock this
evening no information of an official
character had been received from Vene-
zuela, everything being left to the COM
mander of the British fleet, who had re-
ceived explicit instructions as to what
course to pursue and regarding the ag-
gressiVe measures to be undertaken
The Foreign Office explains that last
communication sent to President Castro
was not a second ultimatum, but noti-
fication that the commander had been in
second stage of the reprisals, which in
clude other measures besides the seizure
of the customs, would be commenced
unless a satisfactory answer was re-
ceived. The Foreign Office has heard
nothing from United States Minister
Bowen, who has charge of British and
German interests at Caracas, regarding
the Imprisonment of British subjects.
1t still things, however, that the British
at Caracas probably will be safer in
prison than outside.
The reports Of friction between Ger
many and Great Britain are denied. The
Foreign Office says that to all intents
joint action, though in certain eventuali-
tes each country is free to act independ-
emily.
