THE cALVo DOCTRINE.
Dickinson Says Latin America Must
 Abandon It.

ADanQou 1I.
 Detroit, Mich, Dec. E3.-Former Post master General Don M. Dickinson of this city was one of the aroitraturs appointed to decide the Salvador case referred to in a Washington dispatch on the Venezuelan situation today. In fact MT. Dickinson's s opinion on the points of international law involved in the Salvador case probably had the greatest weight In the decision referred to.
 When MT. Dickinson was shown the Washington dispatch he said:
 "CalVo was a native either of VeneZue- la or Brazil and he laid down the doctrine that foreign nations have no right to in terfere in behalf of any of their subjects in obtaining justice This doctrine either through diplomatic arrangement or other agreement was adopted by all of the Lat in-American countries of South and Cen tral America.
 Tn our decision of the Salvador case Sir Henry Strong and myself refused ab- solutely to recognize the Calvo roctrine. The position taken under this idea is en- tirely erroneous. If a sovereign State makes a contract with an individual and a controversy arises between them as to the terms of the contract, 1t Is ridiculous to assume that the sovereign State-one of the parties to the cOntract--has the right to sit as court and decide quar- rel to which 1t is itself a party.
 That doctrine will have to be aban- doned by all the countries that have taken t up. as all foreign nations will insist upon the right to Intervene fin behalf os their subjects. Since our decision in the Salvador case was rendered. President Dtaz of Mexico. one of the most capable executive officials in any Latin-A mer4can country, has decided a case involving 5000. GOO Tn his decision he ignored the Calvo doctrine President Diaz's position Is a very important precedent and I ex- pect that the belief Of Latin-Americans that they can uphold the principle of non intervention will not last very long"

Mark Twain's Obituaries.

Mark Twain has expressed a desire to
call in" so to speak, the obituaries Of
himself which are doubtless lying snug
ly in newspaper offices throughout the
country, and edit them himself. He
says:
1t is my desire that such journals and
periodicals as have obituaries of me ly-
ing in their pigeonholes, with a view 10
sudden use some day. will not wait lon
ger, but will publish them now n
kindly send me a marked copy. My ad-
dress is simply New York city-I have
no other that is permanent and not
transient.
1 will correct them-not III facts, but
the Notwithstanding out such clauses
as could have a deleterious influence on
the other side. and replacing them with
clauses of a more judicious character.
[ should, of course, expect to pay double
rates for both the omissions and the
su~bstitutions; and I should also expect
to pay quadruple rates for ali obituaries
which proved to be rightly and wisely
worded in the originals, thus requiring
no emendations at all. 1t is my desire
to cave these amended obituaries neat
ly bound behind me as a perennial con-
ISOLATION n entertainment to my fami-
ly, and as an heirloom which shall have
a mournful but definite commercial val
ue for my remote posterity.
If this plan works, the correspondence
resulting therefrom is likely to be de-
lectable.-Washington Times.

HIGH POINT ELECTRIC RY. COMFY
Important Franchise Secured Which
Means Development for Central
Carolina.
Especial to The Messenger.)

lSpecldl 10 Inc Messenger
Greensboro, n. c., November 22.-The
board Of aldermen, at a special session
last night granted a franchise for sixty
years., to the High Point Electric Rail-
way Company, on application of King
and Kimball, attorneys for the incor-
porators, Green, Cohen, F. w. Darling
ton, D. a. Waters and E.. D. Steele.
With the exception Of the latter, who Is
a local capitalist, these gentlemen rep
resent an immense Philadelphia syn
dictate, Mr.. Waters himself being q mil
lionaire manufacturer Of wood working
machinery of all kinds.
EX-Mayor T.. V. Taylor as genera
manager and attorney for the Green's
boro Electric Company, appeared be-
fore the counc and made a fine argu-
nent against granting the proposed
franchise for a term OF so years, when
only 90 years were given h company
which had just put in a splendid street
car and electric service for the city.
This protest was u~navailing. His next
objection to allowing this company the
right to do a local passenger business
was also o~verruled. He was more suc-
cessful on his fight on a blanket fran
chise, securing an amendment where
by the paralleling the home track was
prohibited, and restricting the new line
to a certain route. Its terminal will be
lear the 1ailroad crossing of Ashc
street, only one square from the South
ern railway passenger station, and in
the heart of the CITY.
A franchise for lnis road has already
been obtained at High Point, and the
purpose of the company now IS 10 secure
one at Winston-Salem, thus connecting
these three important manufacturing
centers. giving freight competition be-
tween the Southern and the Norfolk
and Western railroads at Winston
Salem, and at Greensboro with the
Southern and Seaboard Air Line soon
to have connection here through the
coming Durham and Charlotte road
from Pittsboro.

WAYNE PEOPLE INDIGNANT
= Report that Case Against Frank
Winn Has Been Compromised.
Especial to The Messenger.)

NSpC0lal 10 IL Alt>SCIlStE-t
Goldsboro, y. c., November 22.-The
following in reference TO the Winn
murder case from Mt. Olive, Which has
attracted much attention throughout
this county appeared in the Raleigh
Post of today:
There was a conference here yester-
day of counsel interested in the case of
Frank Winn, colored. of Goldsboro, who
killed his cousin, a young negro man,
about three months ago, gave bond,
then skipped it and was subsequently
caught in Fayetteville by a brother Of
the murdered man and brought back
to Goldsboro to stand trial. AS a result
of yesterdays conference it is now I'M
derstood that a compromise has been
reached with the prosecution by which
the negro VIM is to be sentenced 20
ten years in the p~enitentiary, and pay
to the state the bond forfeited when he
"a away, the amount being 81 800.
This case has attracted considerable
attention, Winn being a negro highly
esteemed and prosperous. He was
worth something like 5000 when the
killing occurred. However, with the
payment of forfeited bond. lawyers fees
and other expenses. about all his prop
erty will be gone. He has q wife n
several children. Colonel T. NJ. Argo,
of this city, is n of the counsel for
| the defense. Mr.. John Z. Woodland IS
also interested as counsel for the prose
cution."
The above surprising statement called
forth the following editorial which ap-
peared in the Goldsboro Argus this af-
ternoon:
The above reads as if The Post
wrote with knowledge and authority,
but surely there is some mistake in the
! premises. If it be. however. as The
Post states, then the good. law-abiding
people of Wayne ounty Will not cour-
tenance nor tolerate any such 'compro-
mise
The young colored lad whom Frank
Winn ruthlessly Deat ID deaIn VIVA a
b~ludgeon-his own cousin-was q we'll
conducted, promising boy, just APP
preaching the period of manhood, with
| hopes and promises of the future as
bright as any young man OF his race
could nope for or enjoy. His father ana
mother are living. and are sad and sor-
rowing at his untimely and ruthless
taking off and Dereft Of his stay and
solace when they shall come to THEN
declining years. They are more highly
esteSmed thar is Frank Winn-and they
all live in the same community.
Frank VIE stands indicted BY the
grand jury OF murder in the first &C.

a~rraigned and tried accordingly by a
jury Of his country, let the consr-
