THE AK TO FALL AGAIN
RooseveItis is Sharpening it for
Heads of North Carolina
Radicals.
Especial to News and Observer }

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 1.-THE re-
moval by the President of Collector
Bingham, of Alabama, because of his ac-
tivity in pressing the Lily White" agi-
tation for the exclusion of the negroes
from the Republican party, is likely to
prove but one of a series of changes in
the South.
There is a we'll defined belief here that
Mr.. Roosevelt has determined to admin
lister a rebuke to Senator Pritchard and
the Lilly Whites in North Carolina. 1t
is known that Mr.. Fred Wanna
maker. special examiner of the
Cival Service Commission, who is
now in South Carolina will shortly visit
North Carolina to investigate a few
charges against prominent Federal Of
ficeholders for the prominent part they
took in bouncing the colored delegation
from the Greensboro convention. There
are half score of Federal officeholders
in the State that are in danger of hav-
ing their officials heads cut off by
Roosevelt's axe.
There is one postmaster in the Pied
mont section for whom this axe is be-
ing sharpened, and he might as well
get ready for the block. The charge
against him is buying votes in job
lots.
There is no disputing the fact that
there is a breach between Pritchard and
Roosevelt and a close friend of the
President goes so far as to say that
in a very few weeks all the pie will be
handed over the counter in North Caro-
lima by the Hon. E. Spencer Blackburn.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Black
burn was strongly opposed to the unseat-
ing of the negro delegates. Senator Prit-
chard has been kept busy lodging the
newspaper men since his arrival here
Sunday, and there is not a correspond
ent in town who has been able to locate

roads to Charge More for Transferring.

Mr.. A. G. Wells. of Columbia. S. c..
president of the North Carolina Cotton
Oil Company, with offices at Charlotte
and Columbia, appeared before the Cor
poration Commission yesterday with a
rather unusual request.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago the Commission adopted a rule re-
quiring all railroads to switch and
transfer carloads of freight between
warehouses in towns within a distance
of three miles at rate of $500 a car
Now the railroads are refusing to fur
nish cars to move such shipments on
account of the scarcity of cars. unless
shippers will pay charge of $400
Mr.. Wells asks that the commission
allow the roads to make this charge, as
1t is reasonable one. and his company
is suffering great inconvenience on ac-
count of the failure of the road to move
such shipments.
Others who appeared before the ses-
sion of the Commission yesterday were
E. F. Reid, General Freight Agent of
the Carolina and Northwestern Railroad
and w. G. Petty, of the Carthage Rail-
way. These gentlemen were here on
matters of freight rates

Eyesight he Destroyed.
Suicide Follows.
(By the Associated Press.)

Kansas City, Nov. 11.-Dr. ". III.
Kimberlin, a pioneer citizen and prom
inent oculist, was shot and killed in his
office in this city this afternoon by John
Scalon, formerly a policeman, who then
shot and killed himself. The bodies Of
both men were found in the Doctors
office. Dr. Kimberlin was shot three
times and both men must have died al
most instantly.
Scanlon, who is the brother of a promi-
nent local politician, asserted, it is said,
that Kimberlin had caused him to lose
his eyesight
scanlon left note on the dresser, in
which he had writted, Notify my
brother at City Hall 1 did this because
he destroyed my eye sight.
Scanlon has been receivink treatment
from Dr. Kimberlin for about two
weeks. He entered the physicians office
unseen and it is not known how long
he had been there. Another patient,
who was waiting in an outside Office,
said:
Il heard scanlon go into the doctors
private office and I heard him and the
doctor talking There was no quarrel or
loud words, however, until DR.. Kimber-
lin cried out oh! Don't. John
"The shots followed Immediately. A
bullet came through the wall and passed
over the chair from which / had jumped
when the shooting began"
The first person to enter the room was
DIR. Kimberlin's son, also a physician
is proprietor Of a drug store on the
ground floor of the building. Both men
lay on the floor covered with blood and
dead. Scanlon had shot himself through
the temple, the bullet tearing away the
upper part of his face. DR.. Kimberlin
was 5S years old and had practiced in
Kansas City for thirty years. Scalon
was 81 years old and unmarried. He
lived formerly at Breckenridge, Mo. He
had worked as fireman on the Burling-
ton Railroad and later as patrolman on
the Kansas City police force.

Durham n, c., Nov 11.-Nearly all Of
the $4,000 worth of jewelry that had been
stolen from General Julian S. Carr on
October 10, 1900, was recovered yester,
day afternoon.
Frank O'Neal, a white man, who has
been driver for Mr.. E. c. Hackney for
sometime. while using a pitchfork, struck
a tin box beneath the surface of the
ground, near Mr.. Hackney's stables. In
the box were two watches, diamond

emeralds and rubies. Mr.. O'Neal carried
the box to his home and last night his
son took one Of the watches to Mr.. J.

niAed the watch as one of those stolen
from the residence of General Julian 5.

Woodall heard of the matter and at once
began an investigation. Mr.. O'Neal told
Chief Woodall that about a year ago he
found a box containing several small
valuables.

pair of cuff buttons and a pair of ear
rings valued at $1,000 are still miss
ing
The place where the Jewels were found
was formerly the site of a stable at the
residence of Capt. j. A. White, who re-
sided there at the time of the robbery.
1t is generally supposed that the rob-
ber, fearing detection, buried his plum
der there, rather than run the risk of
trying to carry it away. This, however,
may or may not be cleared up some day.

the purchaser.
But" he said, "it is my duty to tell
you that no evidence has been presented
here to connect this defendant with the
holder.
Now the question is, did the defend
ant procure the poison. The defendant
told you he never made the poison. Upon
the theory that ne did not send the poison
package, that is reasonable enough, but
if you find from other facts that he did
send the package, then you may take into
consideration the fact of the facility with
which he could have obtained the poison. :"
Justice Lambert declared that tho

the railroads which were made defend
ants in the complaint made by the Ken

merger of interests WHICH threatened to
place the entire Southern territory under
the domination of a single firm, filed
their answers in the Interstate Com
merce Commission today. The answers
in the main, like those of the Illinois
Central and Texas and Pacific, filed yes
terday, deny the allegations The Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad, however,
goes further and its answer styles the
complaint a mere fish bill" and dis
putes the jurisdiction of the Inter-Stat
Commerce Commission over such mat
ters The answer denies that J. p Nor
gan & Co. have acquired control of a
majority of the Louisville and Nashville
stock and says the commission has no
jurisdiction to inquire into the motives
or objects of any one selling or pur-
chasing shares. nor whether the stock
of the Southern is controlled by voting
trust with Morgan G. Co. at its head.

posed to reorganize that road to vest
