With Laws.
(special to News and observer.)

Winston-Salem, N. c., June 1.-THE
twenty ninth annual meeting of the North
Carolina Dental Society opened here to-
night. The attendance is unusually large.
A charming address of welcome was made
by Mayor o. B. Eaton. The response by
DR.. f. j. Tucker, of Roxboro, was no
less appropriate and captivating. The am
nual address by the president. DR. j. H.
Benton, of New Bern, owing to his inals-
position, was read by the secretary, DR..
j. Martin Fleming, Of Raleigh.
In his address the president reported
about $50 practicing dentists in the State,
while less than one hundred of this num-
Der weer members of the society.
DR.. Fleming quoted the court clerks as
saying that one-fourth of the dentists in
the State were not complying with the
laws. He suggested that this matter be
investigated. President Fleming said that
only six of the original members of the
State society are living, and that only
three Of these are now members He sug-
gested that committee be appointed to
prepare history of the society.
A splendid paper was read by Dr. F.
J.. Hunt, of Asheville. essayist for this
meeting. Six applicants for membership
were announced tonight. An invitation
was extended to the members of the So
ciety to visit one of Winston's largest to-
bacco manufacturing plants.

FIRST PELIoN. THIN ossa.
Machen Will be Called on to Answer to the
Charge Of Forgery.
CRv the Associated Press.l

Washington, June 17.-It is believed
that the grand jury will be shortly asked
by the postoffice authorities to find
another Indictment against A. w. Machen,
the former Superintendent Of the Free
Delivery system. The charge, it is said,
will be forgery. based upon the cashing
of check for 1859, drawn by the cashier
ef the New York postoffce in 1894, in
favor of Henry L. Lorenz, Of Toledo, Ohio.
1t is claimed that the money was to have
been sent to Mr. Lorenz IN care of Mr..
Machen. The check was cashed in this
city, being endorsed by Frank K, Ray
mond, who says he had the check cashed
for Mr.. Machen These facts were brought
out at congressional investigation, but
Mr.. Machen said at the time that the sig
nature was that of Lorenz
Mr.. Lorenz has declared tina the sigma
ture both on the check and voucher ac-
companying 1T, are forgeries. He declares
that he has not received a cent of the
money and has no knowledge of the trans
action.
The general impression about the court
house is that the Indictment will be re-
turned before the close of the present
week, and it is intimated that other indict-
ments will be returned at the same time.

IN 4 HOUSE OF BLOOD
Its Murderous owner Con-

He Hacks 10 Pieces Two Guests in Their Bee
Then Attacks His Wifi .---All
VIII Die.
Especial to News and Observer

Wilkesboro, n. c., June 17.-Information
ted at the foot OF the Allegheny Noun
tains, in Ashe county, Sunday. The bloody
deed was committed by a man named
Crick Davis, who, armed with an axe.
cut two men and his own wife to pieces.
Two acquaintance of Davis, Alfred
Barker and his son, living near Chilhowie,
Va, stopped at Davis home Sunday even
ing and he insisted on their spending the
night with him The two visitors occu-
pied one bed, Davis and his wife another,
it is said in the same room. Scarcely had
all retired when Mrs. Davis was startled
by horrible cry. and springing up saw
her husband beside the Bankers bed deal
Ing terrible blows with an axe.
Horror-stricken, she rushed forward and
caught her husbands arm, when he turned
and with two blows felled her to the
floor. Lewis head had been split half open
by the first blow with the axe. Alfred.
owing to Mrs. Davis interference, had
time to crawl out OF the bed and into a
field of rye, close by. Nevertheless, he
was bleeding like hog and will die, hay-
ing had the axe buried to the hilt in his
stomach and having his right arm cut off
The old man says that as he lay in the
| field he heard the awful blows that fol
lowed on the body of Mrs. Davis and
heard her groans grow fainter and fainter
But the woman was not yet killed, and
after the excitement had subsidized Davis
took his wife in the house. washed her
wounds and washed himself. Davis little
| girl, with the baby in her arm, gave the
alarm, she escaping for her life at the
outset
! When people came in they found Davis
sitting by his wife administering to hel
wants. but the woman was crazed with ael
agony. Davis said Il guess l have killed
them, but / didn't know it, A surgeon
summoned from Mountain City, Tenn.
said that all would certainly die and i
is said the woman is already dead.
! No motive can be found for the hellisf
deed. though many theories have been ad
vanced. One is that Davis was insane
that he had been out of his bead only 81,
months before. Another is that Lev
Barker was once sweetheart of his wife
and that this visit stirred up jealousy. Th,
theory of jealousy is not believed, owing
TO the fact that Mrs. Davis was a woman
Of fine Christian character and had neve
given the slightest attention to Barke
since her marriage.
Davis is in Jail. having been bound Owe
to court.

others Mr.. Smith says that the vouchers
were furnished where possible and the
entire account regularly sworn to. He
defends certain alleged irregular appoint
