no change in the time allowance of one

Reliance is compelled to give her. The
challenger was just three one hundredths
of a foot shorer than before the change,
and that difference was not sufficient to

In tomorrow's race Shamrock III will

bent on to the spars today after the chal-
lenger had reached her anchorage.
The new sail is a Ratsey. and Sir
Thomas Upton and Captain Wringe assert
that change is made not because the
other mainsail was considered inadequate,

young man went into Kings cigar store
here, selected a box of fifteen cent cigars
and offered a check drawn on the Bank
of Randolph by the Crown Milling Com
pany, in favor of Walter Norman. The
clerk declined the check until the young
man offered to deposit a watch and chain
as guarantee of it's genuineness. This was
done, and the check accepted. 1t proved
worthless, and the watch and chain proved
to be the one sold by Bernau and FL
lington SIX weeks ago.
The Liberty Store people at Liberty
and the Crown Milling people at Ashe-
boro were notified of transactions here,
and suspicion was aroused as to the guilty
party. On Friday Chief of Police Scott
was handed an envelope addressed to
Boyd Auman, Liberty, N. c. Inside was
an invitation from Miss Jessie Asbury
to Mr. Auman to the commencement ex-
ercses of The Business and Industrial Col
lege of Why Not.
There were also in the envelope ten
checks, five of the Bank of Randolph, and
five of the Davis and Wiley Bank, OF
Salisbury. Six of these checks had the
blanks dates and amounts, varying from
$7.45 to $S735 filled out, all made pay
able to Walter Norman, and signed by
the Crown Milling Company. As soon as
it was ascertained that there was such a
party as Boyd Auman at Liberty Chief
Scott sent Mr. Donnell, of the clothing
firm here, who had the uncalled for check,
and Mr. King, who had the worthless
check and Bernau and Ellington's watch
and chain over to Liberty and warrant
of arrest accompanied them Arriving
there. Au1nan was Immediately recognlz
ed. identified and arrested. Auman's IA
ther came here today and made an effort
to compromise the matter. He says that
the boy is only fifteen years of age, though
he has every appearance of being twenty
three or twenty-four.

Lo! She Trots a Mile in Two
Minutes.
AND so BEATS THE WORLD
Her Movements are So Smooth, Graceful and
Easy That the Spectators Find il Hard
10 Pealize Her Remarkable
Speed.
(By the Associated Press.)

Readsville, Mass, Aug. 24.-Before a
great crowd of spectators at Readville
today, and with track and weather. con-
lditions perfect, Lou Dillon t:otted a
mile, new worlds record.
So that no breezes might interfere,
Mllard Sanders, driver of the great mare,
brought out the daughter of Sidney Dill
Ion for the attempt early in the day.
For peace makers there were two run
ming horses hitched to road carts. Peggy
from Paris, driven by Doc" Tanner, and
Carrie Nation, driven by Scott Mccoy
The first was fruitness Lou Dillon
making a break ?ust before reaching the
wire. On the second attempt, however,
the wor was given, though starting Judge
Walker rang his bell( but Tanner nodded
for him to say, Go" and turning to
Sanders, called to him to come along.
Tanner kept Peggy from Paris directly
in front of the peerless chestnut trotter
while Mccoy lay at her wheel. In this
way the trio went to the quarter pole
in thirty and one-quarter seconds. With
never skip Lou Dillon went so smooth
gated down the back stretch as to lead
those not timing to the believe that
her speed was not alarmingly fast. The
half was clicked off in the 10000 ga.
Around the turn to the "A pole the clip
quickeded, the third quarter being in 30
IA, in 1000 s. m. Around the turn to the
ga police the clip quickeded the third
quarter being in 80 IA, making that part
OF her journey in 1'31. Faster and faster
came Tanner with the runner and right
with him trotted the handsome Cali
fornia bred mare. Sanders was sitting
perfectly still, but Mccoy was crying
aloud to his runner.

DID BOOKER CROWD
OUT WH|TES2
Negroes Occupied Main Din
ing Room at Hamlet S.
A. |. Hotel.

A gentleman who was in Hamlet on
Sunday morning stated last night that at
that time he saw Booker 7. Washington
and thirty-seven other negroes occupying
the main diningroom at the Seaboard Air
Line Hotel, while the white travellers were
accommodated in a small ante-room. The
negroes were travelling on a special car
attached to train No. 3S, going north
Another story of the affair is the FOL
lowing, special from Hamlet
Booker II. Washington, with a delega-
tion of forty or fifty other negroes, en-
route to Washington City from Nashville,
Tenn, passed here this morning. No. 5S,
the train on which they were travelling
was several hours late and did not arrive
till 11:40. 1t was rumored that they
would take breakfast at the Seaboard Air
Line Hotel and there was considerable
speculation as to whether this would be
allowed by Gresham & Jamison, the pro-
prietors. Some were willing to bet 10 to 1
the delegation would not be permitted To
enter the dining room and take seats
around the tables from which white people
are fed every day. However, when the
belated train rolled up to the station The
famous negro, Washington, and the entire
party marched into the dining room and
seated themselves at the round tables with
as much apparent ease as If their skins
We're as white as those of the ones who,
few minutes before were willing to stake
their earnings that such would not be al
lowed.
The proprietors explained that had
the train arrived at the regular meal
time when there were white people to eat,
of course the negroes could not have en-
tered the regular dining room of the hotel
and the color line would have been strictly
drawn But as this was not the case it
was unnecessary to arrange and prepare
another room in which to serve breakfast
to them and have the regular dining
room unoccupied

FIGHT FOR NOMINATION.
Contest Eetwsen Tom L. Johnson and John T.
Zimmerman Growing Warm.
(By the Associated Press. }


Columbus, Ohio, August 24.-The con-
test between Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of
Cleveland, and John II. Zimmerman, of
Springfield, for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination before the State con-
vention to be held here Wednesday is
tonight as much disputed as ever. Zim-
norman, with many followers, has been
here all day in charge of his canvass.
While Johnson will not arrive until to-
morrow noon with a special train load
OF friends from Cleveland. His managers
have been very active today.
1t is still conceded that the one Sc
curing a majority of the Committee on
Credentials tomorrow afternoon will on
the following day be nominated for gov
ernor, as 145 seats out of the 600 are
contested and neither candidate can win
without having all of his delegates seated
The Zimmerman men are also making
desperate efforts to make a break in the
Johnson ranks because of the endorse
ment of John H. Clarke, of Cleveland, for
Senator in place of Bookwalter, and in
this matter they have caused the John
son managers some trouble

every reason to fear that only part of
the horrors enacted in the Interior of Mace
dona have come to light as ret.
The revolutionary committees are doing
their utmost to force the hands OF the
Bulgarian government and the immediate
outlook is exceedingly serious
1t appears that the Turks have obtained
the upper hand in the villayet Monastir
and the Insurgents are planning to remove
the centre of their activity close to the
Bulgarian frontiers. Dispatches arriving
today from the disturbed area are exceed
ingly gloomy. From Adrianople comes
the news of Turkish defeat and the ex-
tension of the revolutionary outbreak;
from Monastir the news of Turkish vic
tories, accompanied by barbarous excesses
While many of the reports remain with
out confirmation sufficient authentic de-
ldliS dIc W cause IAC du-
thorities the greatest anxiety. According
to the Sofia Dnevnk, the Turks committed
unspeakable atrocities at Krushevo.
The mutilated corpses of ninety women
and children were found in one building;
pieces of the bodies had been thrown into
the street.
Fifteen of the principal merchants OF
the town were killed and their heads ex-
hibited on poles.
At Monastir the churches were demol-
ished, the houses sacked and the town Is
now in heap of ashes The populace fled
to the hills, where they are in a starving
condition.
The Dnevnik also asserts that a gen
eral massacre has taken place in the whole
vilayet of Monastir. Nearly all of the
villages have been destroyed. The treach-
erous murder of eighty insurgent prison
ers by their guards near Monastir has
made an especially bad impression here.
Many rumors are current of massacre'
In the city of Adrianople, but confirmation
is lacking The situation there, however
undoubtedly is serious. The population !:
abroad to leave the houses. The prison.
are full and the vail has taken privat,
houses to be used as jails. When the Rus
sian consul protested at the situation, the
vail is reported to have answered that h,
was powerle5ss against the fanatical pop
ulation.
