OUGHT TO GET OUT AND SAVE THE
COLLEGE.
Cleveland Star.

Cleveland Star.
Recent developments demonstrate very
clearly that a change is needed in the
management of Trinity College. There is
hopeless division among the Methodist
people of the State, who are primarily
the patrons of the institution, with no
reconciliation possible as long as DR..
Kilgo remains at the head of the insti-
tuition and DR.. Bassett, of Booker Wash
ington and social equality notoriety, con-
tinues to teach history and pervert and
dstort the truth with reference to the
Southern position on all vital questions
which strike at our Southern civilization.
We feel deeply that the trustees made a
sad mistake in failing to accept Bassett's
proffercd resignation and we believe
nine-tenths of the people of North Caro-
lima stand with the seven trustees who
favored Bassetts dismissal.
We believe DR.. Kilgo and his policy
at Trinity responsible for the Bassett
episode and the other freak ideas and
fool notions which have emanated from
that institution with more or less regu-
lartiy for the past five years. kilgo
is a fire brand. He stirs up antagonisms
and arouses opposition from the people
who want to be and would be stauncn
friends of the college. He is an lcono-
clast who brooks no opposition in his
mad assault upon everything and every
body-unless his sweet will accords!
1t seems 70 us that DR.. Kilgos strong
est friends ought to see that to continue
him at the head of the college means
20 drive away from it the support of
fully one half of the people who arc

We confess that we don't want any Of

wrote what Bassett did is not fit to teach
Southern boys history. And this, not
withstanding the trustees assert that he
does not teach social equality The very
atmosphere surrounding a man who
thinks what Bassett says he does is en-
ough to conta inmate young men who come

he is said to be a lovable man socially.
In behalf of thousands of Methodists,
and the patriotic people OF the State,

soon the college will be injured irrepar-
ably. Kilgo, Bassett, Minis and others
ought to get out and save the college!

does some plain talking concerning the
Bassett incident at Trinity College. We
are not prepared to believe that the PEG
pie of the South who patronize the insti-

of their sons poisoned by such men as
Bassett and those of his thinking. The
hanging in effgy by the students of Ed
tor Josephus Daniels because he was
brave enough to stand for right against
such sentiments is an evidence OF the
poison that is being injected in the minds
of the students of the institution. The
institution should be purged or the pub-
lie should withhold its patronage.

Americans. The problem of the Cana
dian authorities has been to keep an
eye out for unlicensed fishermen. That
the matter of an uncertain boundary
line and an American territory within
convenient reach in any event makes
the problem of the Canadian cruiser a
difficult one, the recent experience with
the Silver Spray will indicate. Activity
on both sides is increased by the fact
that the fishing happens TO be best in
the vicinity of the international boun-
Diary line.
What is needed is uniformity OF laws,
cooperation between the two govern
ments and a boundary line that is so
plainly defined that there can be no mis-
take. A joint Canadian-American COM
mission which was appointed to investi-
gate the lake fisheries recommended
the registration and licensing of all
fishermen on both sides, redefnition
of the boundary line, distribution
among the fishermen of authoritative
charts and system of regulations COW
ering uniformly the whole extent of
Canadian-American waters. Both gov
ernments were warned concerning the
danger of permitting the pollution of
streams flowing into the lakes and were
advised of the necessity of a uniform

WAR GAME OVER.
Time Limit of Maneuvers Expires
Value of Wireless Telegraphy
Is Proved.

Portland, Me-, Aug. 31.-fhe demon
stration made by the vessels of the squad
ron off this port during the night lasted
several hours. Apparently it had no
other effect than to draw the fire of the
forts. Later the vessels withdrew to
Richmond's island and came to an
Choir.
The time limit set for the maneuvers
expired at noon. The regular and vol
unteer soldiers who have assisted in
the defense of the forts during the week
began leaving early.
Col Dunwoody, the chief officer in
charge of the signal corps of the defend
ing forces during the war maneuvers,
in his report to the war department
says that the most valuable signal sys-
tenn used was that of wireless teleg-
raphy, and there has been almost a
contest between the army and navy sig
nal corps, as we'll as between the troops
and sailors.
The army station has interpreted nu-
merous messages sent from ship to ship
of the fleet, and has furnished news to
the defending forces of almost every
attack that was to take place, and the
movements of the ships have been fully
reported. The navy, on the contrary,
seems not to have been able to read the
army messages. The army telegraphers
claim the navy system is much slower.

been enough cruelty and oppression to

For time Turkey had as much trouble

she had been having with Bulgarian in

Macedonians with arms and reinforce
ments not infrequently, and Greek free
booter as we'll as Macedonian and Al
bantam outlaw have added considerably
to the country's turmoil. But the Greeks
probably have been actuated as much
by jealousy of the increasing powers
of the Bulgarians in Macedonia as by
thought of a crusade against the Turk.

Coal is Found.

Reports from the the Coal country
north of Pelican Rapids are to the eff
feet that several shafts have been sunk
in different places, and coal has been
found in every instance, the veins be-
ing about three feet in thickness. The
coal is of the Ignite varirty, but of a
good quality.
The announcement that coal has
been discovered caused some excitement
here year or two ago, but very little
has been heard of the matter lately,
and it was generally supposed that the
prospecting had been abandoned until
the blowing up of an engine and the
serious scalding of Engineer Peter Au-
duholm a few days ago called atten-
ton to the fact that work was still in
progress.
There is difference of opinion as to
whether it will pay to mine coal of this
thickness at the depth at which it is
being found, but some of the mining
experts hold that it may pay well. The
Duluth company which is pushing the
exploration has recently compelled all
of the men who enter its employ to take
an oath to keep still about the discov-
cries.

or may not result in inter-
national complications, but it calls at
tention again to certain conditions
which might we'll become the subject
of international agreement, namely, the
Canadian-American fisheries on the
great lakes.
Whether the Silver Spray incident
will take on an international aspect
will depend largely upon whether the
fishing boat was unlawfully handling
its nets in Canadian waters, and
whether, after the race began, the shots
of the Petrol were fired on the Canadian
or the American side of the line. The
boundary is located, by an old treaty,
in midlake, but there is nothing but
words to mark it's whereabouts and
guesswork leaves many chances for
misunderstanding between fishermen
and the Canadian officers. The en-

Again Convicted of Completely

JURY RETURNS VERDICT FIXING
HIS PUNISHMENT AT DEATH
distinguished Prisoner Had Been

Crowd Hears Sentence-Brother of

Georgetown, KY, Aug. 31.-The third
trial of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Pow
ers for completely in the murder of Gov.
William Goebel, in January, 1900,
closed shortly before noon Sat
urday, with the extreme penalty
of hanging for the distinguished
prisoner, who had been in the peniten-
tiary for three years on life sentence.
The verdict of the jury, Guilty, and the
punishment of death" was reported into
court at 11:20 o'clock. Several hundred
people crowded the courtroom when the
verdict was read, and the most intense
silence prevailed. The jury was polled,
and each man declared the verdict of
guilt to be his finding. Powers sat
unmoved, while his attorneys asked for
time to make motion for new trial.
Arthur Goebel broke down from the
strain on hearing of the verdict of guilty
The jurors declined to state what &C.
Cured in the jury room. George Wyatt
was foreman.
Arthur Goebel, the brother of the vic
tim, Is prominent merchant at Cincin-
natl, and he spent his time and fortune
for over three years in the prosecution
of those accused of being in conspir-
acy to kill his brother.
Powers has been convicted twice be-
fore, this being the third trial in which
the jury brought in verdict of guilty
against him. On his previous trials, he
escaped with sentence of life impris-
onment, as the evidence was not suf-
ficiently strong against him to lead the
jury to inflicting the extreme penalty.
All three of the trials were held at
Georgetown, and in each of them he had
the assistance of the most able lawyers
who could be procured. Subscription
lists were circulated in his interest by
friends, and a sum of money was Sc
cured to defray the cost of his repeated
trials and the investigating of the cir
cumstances which preceded the killing
of Gov Goebel, in the interest of the de-
tense. The last trial was distinguished
by the fact that Powers addressed the
jury in his own behalf, and in long re-
view of the case showed himself to be
a very competent attorney, while his ell
oquent pleading for his life astounded
those who had watched him carefully in
the past trials of the case.

danger threatens this source of supply,
especially of white fish. The fishing
grounds have for years been merci-
lessly ravaged, particularly within
American waters, and the white
fish will need radical protection to es-
cape ultimate extinction. Of the two
countries Canada has been by far the
more alert to save the fish, by means
of strict regulations as to size of nets
and the observance of close season.
On the American side, however, there
has been little uniformity on the part
of the various states in this regard, and
many white fish have been taken in
November, which is their spawning sea-
son. The Canadian government super
