that he was attacked as he was coming

him to seek refuge in a colliery, while
his bride got home as best she could
end another witness said he was afraid to
attend the funeral of his mother who
had died while he was working behind q

also presented in the endeavor to show
that reign Of terror existed in the strike
affected territory of the State, and that
members of the union were largely re-
sponsible for it.
Counsel for the miners attempted to
break down some of the stories, but they
did not succeed in shaking their tesu-
mony. It is the intention of the attorneys
for the non-union men to occupy about
two more days in presenting this sort of
evidence. Tomorrow they epect to place

Caracas. Jan. THE answers of the
powers to President Castro's last pro-
posal relative to arbitration were de-
livered to President Castro this after
noon by United States Minister Bowen.
A meeting of the Cabinet was at once
called to consider these communications.
It is expected that the Venezuelan an
swers will be handed. to Mr., Bowen to-
night
1t will be forwarded by him at once to
Washington 1t has been learned from
an authoritative source that the answers
of the powers delivered this afternoon
by Minister Bowen, have created feel
ing Of depression in Venezuelan govern
ment circles.
Later-All sorts of rumors are current
in Caracas tonight concerning President
Castro's answer to the communications
of the powers, but none of them is re-
liable
1t can be said upon good authority
that Mr.. Bowen does not expect to re
ceive the Venezuelan answer before to-

an the Assoeiated Press.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Prasidont RooSe-
Welt had a conference today with Speaker
Henderson and Representative Gros-
venor, of Ohio, with regard to proposed
antitrust legislation. The conference
lasted for a considerable time, the situa-
ton in the House being discussed thor
oughIy It is understood that the PTesi-
dent impressed upon his callers, who
went to the executive offices at his re-
quest. his desire that some legislation
dealing with the trust question should be
enacted at the present session of Con-
gress. No particular measure was I'M
der discussion and of course none was
agreed upon.
The trust question is most difficult
one to handle in q legislative way, said
General Grosvenor, as he left the eXeeu-
tive offices, but ] think some measure
will be enacted into law at this session.
IT will be necessary to my mind to steer
a middle course between the desires OF
the radical antitrust people and those
who profess to see little evil in trusts
or combinations of capital. That such
course will be adopted by Congress
have no doubt"
1t is understood that during the con-
ference today the question of bringing
the subject of trusts to the attention OF
tho House in a formal way, at an early
date, was considered. but what conclu-
sion, if any was reached, is not known.

Charles P. Brown, came here to investi-
gate and found that the attorney had
preserved a carbon copy of the will.
The witnesses, Robert M. Wells and
Byron H Hill, of Allegheny Pa, made
affidavit that this was correct copy.
This copy was offered for probate in
the Probate court of Hamilton county on
November 18th as the viii. Its probate
is resisted by Mrs. Ann Gibson, mother,
and Potter Gibson, brother of the testator.
1t became necessary for the pro-
FOUNDER to establish the correctness of
the copy and that the will was duly eX-
ecuted e.nu its loss. Mr.. Bernard was
appointed commissioner to take the tes-
timony of the witnesses here.

monies were members of the Cabinet,
members of the Senate and the House
of Representatives and people prominent
in civil and political life throughout the

After prayer by Bishop Satteriee,
President Roosevelt was introduced.
The President said that he counted
himself fortunate in attending the lib
rary dedication ceremonies, in some re-
spects as representing the people OF the
United States. to express his grateful APP
probation of the wisdom of Mr.. Carnegie
in presenting a magnificent free library
to Washington. He believed that mar
ought to consider himself as thrice
blessed, who might use his wealth fol
the benefit of the whole people. Thu
common school system, of course, lies a
the foundation of education, but The
enormous majority of American citizens
must, of necessity, educate themselves
The free library afforded men the op'
| portunity to equalize opportunities ant
| left it to each one to show whether ne
would take advantage of those that were
offered to him. He concluded with al
| expression of his thanks to Mr.. Carnegie
| for his splendid gift to the people of The
National Capital.
The building was then formally turned
| over to the library commission and Mr.
Carnegie made an address He said:
Free libraries maintained by the peo
pie are cradles of democracy and theil
spread can never fail to end and strength
| en- the democratic idea, the equality o
the citizen, and royalty Of man. The!
are emphatically fruits of the tru
| American ideal"
| Mr.. Carnegie said that he had given
! chiefly within the past two years, 70
! library buildings. During the month o
! July last, 276 applications for librar,
buildings were received by him from al
parts of the English speaking world
! when he arrived in New York las
month from Europe, he found awaitini
him applications for $50 additional build
| ings. Today he has on hand 385 new ap'
plications, making in all under consid'

believes the time has come when the law
should declare that not more than eleven
hours shall constitute days work IN
manufacturing establishments, and that
night work should be restricted to ten
hours.
With reference to temperance legisla
ton the Governor recommends substan
tally the measures outlined in the News
and Observer six weeks or more ago
prohibiting the sale or manufacture o.
whiskey save in incorporated towns. He
adds: stringent regulations should be
made to prevent the operation OF block
ade stills. The State should no longer
depend upon the Federal government tt
suppress this evil business
The Governor says there have beer
eight lynchings in North Carolina With
in the past two years and makes
powerful plea for public sentiment tina
will prevent the recurrence of lynching'
in this State.
The establishment of a Code Commits
sion and a Reformatory are recommended
The above are the more important
specific topics accompanied with recon-
mendations He treats in broad way O..
the States educational and charitable
institutions, all departments of State
government, giving much valuable in
formation accompanied by many wise
suggestions and recommendations.

Senatorial II story.

To the Editor: l see it stated in the

Pritchard was last elected to the Senate
Overman was the Democratic nominee.
This is a mistake. Overman was Prt-

the argument Mr.. Overman's friends are
making is an argument at all, then the
nomination belongs to Mr. Doughton.
