TO REMAIN PRESIDENT
WILLIAMS SAYS

New York. Oct. 5.-.Tohn Shelton
Williams, who came to this city to-
day, said that he came here for the
purpose of transacting routine business
of his railroad. Continuing, he said:
'Apropos of the position of the Mid
dendorf and Williams firms, will say
that everything is progressing in a
satisfactory manner. The firms have
securities of great value. which are far
in excess of their liabilities. They did
not think it was fitting and proper to
attempt to negotiate a sale of any of
those securities in such an abnormal
ly depressed stock market as they
have witnessed during the last three
months. To have done so they would
only have sacrificed values without any
resulting good. With the return of d
normal securities market and with con-
fidence of the public restored, every
thing will be all right"
Mr.. Williams also said that as long
as his interests in Seaboard were as
large as they were at present he would
continue to be president of the rail-
road

DEFENSE HAS INNING
IN HAYWOOD CASE.
Schmitx Declares Haywood Was
Struck BY skinner.


Raleigh, n. c., Oct. 5.-The first de-
fense in the Haywood Skinner muir
der trial began the examination of their
witnesses to-day, two who allege that
they saw it all, and one whose atten-
tion was attracted by the first shot.
Besides these there was a very large
number of character witnesses heard.
Willis Briggs, a Raleigh newspaper
reporter, saw only after the first shot
and when Skinner was in the street.
He was with r. N. Simms, who said
nothing of any blows between the men.
The next witness was r. N. Simms,
a lawyer of Raleigh, who testified that
he was close to the men, and saw Hay-
wood and Skinner in conversation at
the postoftice on the day Of the tragedy.
Skinner, he said, struck Haywood, and
sprang back about eight feet, and left
the side walk with his back to Hay
wood at the time of the first shot. He
did not see Skinner when the second
shot was fired, as he had passed be-
hind wagon.
Bernard SChmitz, lawyer, of Balti-
more, testified that he saw Skinner
grasp Haywood by the coat, and then
strike him. He then sprang back, and
at this time Haywood shot while Skin
ner was using his hands as if try
ing to draw a pistol, and had start
ed to advance again. At the time of
the second shot Skinner was out of
his sight in the street.
The state rigidly cross examined
Schmtz as to different statements from
the one just made alleged to have been
made to prominent parties at Southern
Pines and brought from Norfolk to
Baltimore, in which Schmitz is rep
resented as having said that he did not
see any blow struck. and that it was
a cold blooded murder. Schmtz de-
MED these conversations, and said that
his remark was there was no fight.
Dispositions from many prominent
men of Baltimore. including Ex-Mayor
Latrobe were read, these giving
Schmitz a good character.

DRUNKEN SAILOR
ANOTHER VISITOR.
Wanted President to Reinstate Him
1n the Navy.
By r. NJ. Larner.


WastS gton, Oct. 1.-Two desperate
cranks were arrested in the residence
part of the White House to-day. One
was Peter Elliott, a heavily-armed
Swede, claiming to be from Minnesota,
and the other a sailor recently dishon-
orably discharged from the United
States Navy.
Elliott's mission to the White House
was of hostile nature, for when
trapped by the local policemen on duty
at the executive mansion, after hav-
ing eluded the secret service man at
the Presidents private office adjoining,
he made violent attempt to escape
and severely wounded one of the po-
licemen who assisted in his final cap
ture. Sd&
At the White House an effort was
made to suppress the details of the
affair, fearing that it might incite 9TH
ers to catch the crank fever, in view
of the fact that within less than a
week five dangerous cranks have been
arrested quietly at the White House.
Second Crank Called.
While Elliott was being cared for at
the hospital a report reached the White
House from down town that a drunken
sailor. on a Spree was making threats
to call on the President this afternoon
and demand satisfaction for being dis
honorably dismissed from the navy.
About 3 o'clock, while the President
and his family were discussing the Ell
lott episode in the red parlor, drunk
en- sailor passed the ushers at the front
door and demanded to see the Presi-
dent. Policeman Hutton, at once
"steered the numbering seadog" into
stone harbor. Jack" refused to give
his name, but insisted that he had inl-
portant- business with the President
and must see him at any cost. The
officers questioned him closely and then
invited him to go below, to a waiting
room, until the President finished lit
tie luncheon party, then alleged to
be on.
Down below Jack" was thoroughly
searched and the only weapon he car

JAPAN AND RUSSIA
NOT LIKELY TO CLASH.
England Optimistic While NegOtia-
tfOns Last.

London, Oct. 5.-No apprehension ex-
lists in the mind of the British govern
ment or the diploma lists in London
that the Far Eastern situation will
bring forth any immediate serious de-
velopments.
This feeling of temporary security on
the eve of the day that Russia
should, but admittedly will not, eva
cuate Manchuria, is due to assurances
on the part of Japan that so long as
the negotiations now proceeding be-
tween herself and Russia present a
reasonable prospect that a settlement
will be reached Japan will take no
action hostile to Russia in the matter
of Manchuria.
1t is further learned that these ne
gotiations looking to a final settlement
of the Russo-Japanese spheres of in
fiuence in the Far East, and especial
ly dealing with the situation in Corea,
are progressing satisfactorily at Toxic

Akron, o., Oct. 5.-A color rush at
Buchtel College to-day resulted in the
faculty suspending every man in col
lege except three, and they remain be-
cause they did not reach the college
until after the rush was over.
Friday night the upper classmen ini-
tiated the freshmen. putting them
through n severe course. and when the
latter appeared at chapel this morning
wearing their colors, President Church
made a speech prohibiting a color
rush. He stated that the freshmen
had been initiated in a more severe
manner than any class ever were in
the institution, and he upheld them in
wearing their colors.
AS soon as chapel was over the upper
classmen went after the freshmen and
tore their colors off, and bloody noses
and torn clothes were in evidence. The
faculty then suspended both classes

BEGGED THE POPE
TO INTERVENE,
Russia and Austria's joint Note Re-
gnrdcd SkepticnIIy.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 5.-The Austro-
Russian note to the Porte, published
Yesterday, has been received somewhat
skeptically in official circles and among
the Macedonian organizations with ut
ter disbelief that any good can come
from it. One point on which all par
ties are agreed is that action is the
only satisfactory pledge of reform that
the Ottoman government can give.
The Bulgarian government is anx-
ious to see the promised details of the
new measures, but IT is feared that IL
they are too stringent, Turkey may
prefer war to accepting them, while if
they are not stringent they will GER
tainly be useless,
1t is stated that the Catholic Arch
bishop of Philopopolis has sent the
Pope a long account of the situation in
the vilayet of Adrianople, and has beg
ged his holiness to intervene and pre-
vent the continuance of the massacres

NO DIVORCE,
SAYS COURT
Emil Rufenacht and His Wife Cannot
Dissolve Their Partner
ship.
news OF The DAY IN The court.

Judge Harter refused to grant a di-
vorce to Mrs. Elizabeth Rufenacht,
who charged Emil Rufenacht with ex-
treme cruelty and other things that
go toward disturbing the course of
true love and the legitimate intent Of
marriage relation. Emil has objected
to living with his mother-in-law and
finally induced his wife to move to a
house of their own, but she went back
TO her mothers every day, to which
Emil also objected, especially as she
did not get home much before meal
time.
According to their own testimony,
they had several mixups of pugilis.
tic character in which Emil admitted
that he used some force and the wife
stated that she used poker and
pair of scissors as defensive weap-
Ons. 1t appears, however, that Emil
was good provider and divided his
surplus money with his wife. and
there was little to warrant the grant
ing of divorce, and the court so held.
The interested parties held consulta-
tion in the court room and 1t is said
they almost reached reconciliation.
Attorneys Sponseller and Rice were
on opposite sides in the case.
WANTS CHARACTER EVIDENCE.
The divorce case of Ellen Carmen
against James Fl. Carmen was heard
Friday morning by Judge Harter. The
husband did not appear to fight the
case. The parties live near Howen-
stine. A pretty good case of cruelty
and gross neglect of duty was made
out, but there was lack of evidence
as to the character and conduct OF the
plaintiff, so the Judge postponed de-
cision until such time, as this testi-
mony is furnished. Attorney Hudson
represented the plaintiff.
EXECUTION DEMANDED.
Adam J. Turney. through his coun-
sell Hubert C. Poutius, has filed pc
tition in common pleas court in which
it is alleged that he secured a judg-
ment for $500 against John A. Dillon,
and it is desired that execution be
issued SO that certain Canton prop
erty can be sold to satisfy the claim.
Other creditors of the defendant are
made parties to the suit
