the execution.
Roseboro slept sound last night, ate a
hearty breakfast and maintained stub
born, stolid appearance until the trap was
sprung by Sheriff Summers. He made
no confession, except a statement soon af-
ter his conviction, III which he admitted
his guilt. His mother and relatives re-
fused toaccept the dead body and it was
sent to Raleigh for dissection.

Constantinople, Sept. 10.-United States
Minister Leishman has presented de-
mand to the Turkish government for the
dismissal of Reshid, Pasha, Vail of Beirut
on the ground that so long as he is re
tanned in office the lives and property OF
Americans in Beirut are insecure.
The dispatch of Nazim Pasha to Beirut
from his post at Damascus, is considered
to be a preliminary step towards a set
tlement. Nazim Pasha received an enthu-
siastic reception upon his arrival at Bel
rut, a crowd at the railway station cheer
ing him repeatedly. The town was then
perfectly tranquil.
According to the latest kilograms, how
ever, the eonsuls continue to transact
their business with Reshid Pasha, Vail oi
Beirut.
Beirut advices received here late yes
terday stated that uneasiness still pre-
vailed among the Christians there and
that the exodus to the mountains con
tinued but no fresh disturbances had oc
Cured.
Rear Admiral Cotton confirms the re
ports that he can land 500 marines and
blue jackets from the Brooklyn and Sar
Francisco in case of urgent necessity.
Berlin, Sept. 10.-A dispatch received
here from Constantinople says Nazim
Pasha has been formally appointed Vail
of Beirut in place of Reshid Pasha, who
has been dismissed.

so DECLARES BEVERlDGE
As He Returns From Conference With Rooss-
veIt at Oyster Bay His Uterances Before
the Indiana Bankers Garry Much
Weight.
(By the Associated Press.)

South Bend, Ind, Sept. 1O.-The sew
enth annual convention of Indiana Bank
ers was addressed today by United States
Senator Beveridge. Senator Beveridge
has but recently returned from visit
with the President at Oyster Bay, and his
positive assertions with regard to the ac-
tion of the coming Congress were given
all the more weight. The Senator said
in part:
"The coming session of Congress will
not enact any radical or sweeping financial
legislation. Except in great emergencies,
moderation is the word in all financial
legislation. The stability of financial leg
islatiOn even though imperfect is more
desirable than sudden and comprehensive
changes, even though those changes are
toward greater perfection.
"Some moderate financial legislation
which will relieve the periodically recur-
ring stringency in the money center is
probably desired and may be enacted But
such legislation, if enacted will be simple
in its nature and will not disturb or alarm
the business interests of the country
Upon the shoulders of the bankers of
the country more than upon any one set
of business men depends the continuance
of our fortunate condition of prosperity
If without reason the bankers indulge in
vague apprehensions they will themselves
bring about the very thing which they
fear. If the bankers being to exercise
cowardice instead of prudence; if without
any reason except timidity they begin to
contract their loans and reduce their cred
its that confidence upon which all bust
ness rests, and of which the bankers them
, selves are the henefciaries, will be inn
paired
Congressman Fowler, of New Jersey,
also spoke. He gave a good deal of at
tention In his speech to his asset currency
bill He said he favored departure from
the old measure by first calling Tor
retirement or impounding of greenbacks
by compelling banks to hold 40 per cent
of the reserve in United States notes,
thus taking from greenbacks their pow

verting greenbacks into gold certificates.

Washington, Sept 10.-MInister Lelsh-
man eabled the State Department from
Constantinople that the French ambassa-
dor has demanded the removal Of the
Governor of Beirut and that other for
eign representatives probably will do the
same. Mr.. Leishman is vigorously urging
the Sublime Porte to replace the COVER
nor by some one capable of preserving
order and of giving more efficient pro-
lection to American citizens and inter-
ests In this course he has the approval
of the State Department. Nothing was
said in the cablegram of further disorders
at Beirut.
The Navy Department has received a
cablegram from Rear Admiral Cotton,
dated Beirut, yesterday, stating that the
arrival of the Turkish governor general
from Damascus has restored confidence
The governors general has warned the local
authorities that he will hold them re-
sponsible for disturbances. Admiral Cot
ton says that the city was quiet Tues
day night and business improving.
Chekid Bey, the Turkish minister, called
at the State Department today and spent
some time in conference with Acting Sec
Ietary Adee.
mister Leishman has cabled the State
Department that he has secured the re-
lease of Abdul Kader athaney, a natural
lied citizen of the United States, born
at Tripoli, Syria, who, soon after re-
turning to his native country in 1901
committed an offense for which he was
sentenced by the consular court of the
United States at Beirut to a term of six
months in the Smyrna Jail. In the early
part of the current year he was arrested
at Tripoli and condemned by the local
court. for the same offense, to three and
a half years imprisonment. Minister
Leishman promptly protested against this
violation of the rights of an American
citizen.

Asheville, N. c., Sept. 10.-When Con-

DR.. Westray Battle, of this city had filed
an application for the position of Con-

he filed an application for change in po-
sition such an action would probably be
determined both to himself and Dr. Battle,
consequently he held back his application
until President made Carlo appointments,

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 10.-A special
from Selma, Ala, says George w. Cole
man waylaid and sot to death David A.
Calvin. The killing occurred behind Cal
wins house. After firing two shots and
as Calvin was dying, Coleman, it is said,
reloaded his gun and fired a third charge
into the PROSTATE man. Coleman surren-
dered but refused to talk.
The tragedy is said to be the outgrowth
of an old family feud. Calvin was a cous-
in of Mrs. Coleman. Some time ago she
left her husband and made her home with
Calvins family. Recently her husband
wanted her to sign a mortgage and to
give up the custody of their children.
This she refused and coleman, it is said,
charged her refusal to the influence of
Calvin.
