Because a man is a brother of a
criminal seems to be. in the opinion of
the secret service men who are accom-
panying President Roosevelt IN his
tour. sufficient cause for his arrest and
detention in prison during the presi-
dents stay in the town of h mans
residence. The only known cause for
the Imprisonment Czolgosz in Los
Angeles during Mr.. Roosevelt's stay in
that city was that he was q brother of
tie man who assassinated President
Mckinley. So AR as the public knows
these men had no reason to believe that
this man belonged to any anarchist Or
der or that he had any intention to at
tempt to do the president bodily harm.
We would not be surprised to hear, of
such action in Turkey or Russia, but in
free America ii is rather startling.

What will Secretary Root do about
the new charges against his pet, Cen
eral Wood? He can hardly ignore these
as he did those made by Rathbone if
he wishes to preserve discipline in the
army. If it be true that the general
was cognizant of the contents of an
article previous to publication severely
criticising General Brooks, published by
an inferior officer he has violated one
Of the important regulations of the
army and one which Secretary Root has
hauled several officers over the Goals

somewhat similar to Admiral Samp-
sons approving the proofsheets of
Maclay's denunciatory language of Ad-
miral Schley in his History of the

GoldSboro, n. c., May S.-SOme days
for the Improvement of the streets, the
street committee advocated the filling
up of the centennial we'll at the cor
ner of John and Walnut streets. The
board of aldermen last night decided
to let the we'll remain, which will be
gratifying news to the many thous-
and people who have ~quenched their
thirst with it's sparkling waters. Like
the famous Rock Spring in Whining
ton it is said that those who drink
of the waters of the centennial we'll
may wander off. but they are sure to
return to Goldsboro again at some
time or other.
The new board Of aldermen met last
night at the mayors office. Mayor
Hood, who had previously Ike the
oath of office before Capt. D. J. Broad
hurst, administered the oath to the
members of the new board, who then
announced the slate of city officials
and employees as made up in the eau
Gus yesterday afternoon as follows:
City clerk, D. J. BroadhNst; tax col
iector. w. H. Collins; treasurer, J. r.
Crawford; chief Of police, A. B. Free
man.: police officers. B. NJ. Denmark,
r. E. Smith, j. NJ. Swarengin, Jack
Fullghum, E. ]. Tew.
The board then proceeded to dispose
Of routine business and passed upon
several questions of minor Importance.
By an enactment of the last legisla-
ture the city cemetery has been taken
out of the hands of the board of al
dermen and placed the control OF
the property with a board Of trustees,
who are elected by the board for a
term of years differing n from the
other. The board of trustees recently
elected qualified before the board OF
aldermen last night and asked for ar
appropriation of 5000 for immediate use
and 800 per month to b. used in beau
tifying and improving the property.

Another sensation has been caused
in the investigation of the frauds in the
postoffice department by the suspen-
superintendent OF the free delivery
system and the transfer Of hat system
from the control of the first assistant
postmaster general to that Of the
fourth. So now Mr.. Bristow, who has
in charge the investigation Of n Tot
tenness in this entire department has
full control Of his branch of the BUSH
ness in which it is expected much fraud
will be unearthed-if a full investigation
is really to be made. The suspension
of Mr.. Machen was rather q surprise
and vas made on the recommendation
Of Mr.. Bristow. The former is one Of
the best known and most prominent
men connected with the mail service.
His suspension would hardly be order
ed unless the department was convinc-
ed that there was good reason to sup
pose that he was guilty Of unlawful

petrated by the head of the department
by order of the president-the contin-
ued closing of the office at Indianola
and the keeping in office of the negro

OF the board states:

at approximately S15 a. m. He was re-
ceived and examined by Or. cain. the resi-
dent physician. at the hAi!d!ng known as
the receiving ward After this examine

AT O'Clock the examination Of the pa
tient by DR.. MaCkall was completed and
treatment ordered the entry on the chart
showing that medicine was administered
at a m. The case was recognized by both
Drs. Cain and Mackau as a very serious
one. but Notwithstanding this fact 1t was
at least 1910, or one hour and ten minutes
after the completion of the examination
before an attempt was made to notify the
visiting physician.
1T is claimed by Dr. Mackall that II was
go before his examination was completed
but his statement Is made from memory
and we believe 1t not entitled to be &C

after the completion of the examination
before an effort was made to notify the
visiting physician This delay is especial

tie office hour Of the visiting physician was
allowed to pass before an effort was made
to notify him.
From the statements OF those who were
present at the reception and treatment of
tbs patient, and from the written record
We IND that both Or. Cain and Dr. Mack
all recognized tII;tt this case was of such a
serious character that the visiting ply

had received at the hands of an assailant.
1t VIII be remembered that the coroners
jury scored the asylum hospital. which is
adjunct of the workhouse. DIR. Mackall
was the principal witness before the coro-
nerS jury, and declared he did not know
whether Or. D. Percy Hickling the Wis ting
physician to the asylum and the practical
head of the institution. knew whether there
was fracture or not.
The evidence showed. however. accord
Ing to the report that no effort was made
to promptly notify DIR. Hckling of the
presence of the patient at the hospital or
of his serious condition. When DR. Hick-
ling arrived, he Immediately ordered the
man to the operating room, and there made
an attempt to locate the fracture. AS the
patient was SO near death, however, the
examination was stopped In order that he
might not die on the operating table. The
patient was practically dying from dis
ease of the kidneys when admitted to the
hospital.

and recommended that Drs. Cain and
