THE ARMY THE VICTOR
The Dryden Trophy Captured
by the Infantry Rifle
Team.
(By the Associated Press.)

Sea Girt, N. j., Sept. 1.-THE infantry
rifle team Of the United States Army
came TO the fore very decidedly late this
afternoon and captured the Dryden tro-
ply, by scoring a total OF 995 out of q
possible 200. The competition was closer
and more spirited than any other team
contest held during the meet. AT the
conclusion of the firing at the 200 yards
stage, New Jersey was In the lead. When
cease firing" was sounded at the 500
yard stage, however, the District of Co
lumbia had moved to the front and led
the race by IL points. But at the final
stage, the 1000 yards range, the infantry
team of the United States Army closed
the gap and finished five points ahead of
the next nearest competitors, the District
of Columbia The best individual shoot
ing among the members of the winning
team was done by Quartermaster Ser
geant Hawkins, who is colored man.
The army folk here were very much
eiated because of the victory of their
infantry team.
The contest for the Dryden trophy was
the last of the team contests. The only
other firing done today was in individual
competitions, none of which have been
concluded.
The Presidents match an individual
competition for the military champion
ship of the United States, will be the at
traction tomorrow.

Of the Twelve Presbyterian
Churches in America.
so DECLARES DR.. COYLE
Rev. Ira Landrith, Membsr of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Committee on FraternaI
Union Also Speaks of the De-
sire for Union.
(By the Associated Press.)

Denver, Colo, Sept 11.-Rev. DIR. Coyle,
moderator of the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian church, who has just
returned to his home in this city from a
lecture, today in the East, believes that
the time is not far distant when the
the United States will become one. This
probability he says. is due to the recon
structing of the creed of his denomina
ton, which took place last May. Calvin
istic and Armenian lines, which have SO
long kept his and the Cumberland Pres
byterian churches separated have now, he
says, been effaced and at present no dis
tlnction other than ceremonial separate
the two great religious orders that began
as one in the days of Cromwell.
Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 11.-Rev. Ira
Landrith, a member of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Committee on Fraternal
Union, said when shown DR.. Coyle's in
terview:
''At the last meeting of the Cumberland
Presbyterian General Assembly in this
city in May, committee was appointed
to confer with a similar committee from
the Northern Presbyterian church for
the purpose of selecting basis of union
upon the terms suggested in DR.. Coyle'S
statement.
This committee will hold its first full
meeting in st. Louis, September % to 80.
and on the following day it is expected
that joint meeting of our own and the
Presbyterian Committee will be held III
the same city. Thus far nothing has
been formulated by our committee.
Our own denomination has shown from,
the first a most cordial spirit dc
to union, if it can be accoI plshed upon
terms mutually satisfactory to the
churches concerned. Certainly, if it Is
made plain that DR.. Coyle is correct, that
the lines which have so long kept his
and the Cumberland Presbyterian church
separated, have now been effected there
will remain no sufficient reason for the
separate existence of the two churches.
4 am particularly anxious that an early
union. if one is accomplished at all, may
include the Northern and Southern Pres
byterian churches and our own"

SHOT HIS GRANDSON
Horrible Mistake Made by
Major Little While Out
Hunting.
Especial to News and Observer }

Charlotte, n. c., Sept. u.-The news of
horrible accident that occurred seven
miles from Lancaster, S. c., this morn
ing, was learned of in Charlotte this at
ternoon. Mai. J. NJ. Riddle, associate
editor CT the Lancaster Review and one
OF the best known citizens of that place,
shot and instantly killed his little S-year-
old grandson, Robert Mackorell. The
scene OF the awful tragedy was on the
banks of the Catawba river, about seven
miles from Lancaster.
At an early hour this morning Maj.
Riddle, accompanied by his son, James
Riddle, and little grandson, Robert
Mackorell, went to the Catawba river
hunting squirrels. The boys were sta
toned at certain tree while Riddle wen,
some distance down the river to clump
of hickory trees. During Maj. Riddles
absence Robert Mackorell climbed one
of the trees and was sitting in the forks
while James Riddle went In search OF
squirrels.
During the absence of young Riddle
Maj. Riddle returned to the spot where
he had left the boys. AS he could see no
trace of them he supposed they had gone
up the river. While engaged in looking
through the leaves of small hickory
tree he saw one of the branches move.
Thinking it was a squirrel, he pointed his
gun at the spot and fired. To his great
horror what he had taken for a squirrel
was his little grandson.
At the report of the gun little Robert
Mackorell fell to the ground, a distance
of twenty feet. The entire discharge OF
the gun had entered the child's head.
When Maj. Riddle reached him the boy
exclaimed:
Grandpa you have shot me-"
The child died in the grandfathers arms
on the way to a spring nearby.

(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE following
bulletin was posted at the Navy Depart
ment today:
Admiral Cotton telegraphs from Bel
ruit September 10, that the Governor
General of Damascus has been appointed
acting governor general at Beirut and has
expressed a desire to settle the case of the
American Vice Consul satisfactorily to the
United States government"
The State Department has authentic ad-
vices that Governor General Nazim, of
Damascus, who has been appointed acting
governor of Beirut, is trustworthy and
broad-minded man, and Minister Leishman
has been instructed to advise the Sublime
Porte that the Washington government is
greatly pleased at the immediate granting
of its request for the removal of the gov
ernor of Beirut and the appointment in his
stead of a responsible person, and one
favorable to foreigners.
A long cablegram reached the State De-
partment today from Minister Leishman
on the general Turkish situation, which
has not yet been made public. The pres
tige of Mr.. Leishman at Constantinople
has greatly increased since the arrival OF
the European squadron off Beirut, and
the scope of his representations to the
Porte also has increased III the last few
days. 1t is understood that our govern
ment will push to an early conclusion all
its pending claims against Turkey.

an early caller at the State Department
today, bringing further reassuring advices

RECAPTURR OF vAsILIKO.
Leishman Seems in Fair Way to Get All That
He Asks
(By the Associated Press.)

Constantinople, Sept. u.-An official
dispatch here announces that the i'm
nerial troops recaptured Vasiliko, on the
Black Sea, on Saturday last, after the in
surgent force occupying the place had
been attacked by 1000 Turkish troops
with two cannon.
The release of Abdul Kader, the natural
lied citizen of the United States, from
Imprisonment at Tripoh, Syria, and the
dismissal of Reshid Pasha, the Vail of
Beirut, are taken to indicate that the
granting of the other demands of Minis
ter Leishman will not be long delayed.
The American consul at Beirut reports
that the situation there is improving,
thanks to the confidence inspired by
Nazim Pasha, who has succeeded Reshid
Pasha. Rumors of fresh outrages CON
tinue to reach Constantinople but these
reports are deliberately spread with the
object of creating the impression that the
present situation at Beirut was provoked
by the arrival there of the United States,
warshlps. AS a matter OF fact, dls-
ttrbed state of affairs is chronic at BEL
rut. Insecurity has prevailed there for
months-practically throughout Reshld
Pasha's tenure of office. The present
grand vizier six months ago asked the
Sultan to remove Reshid Pasha but the
latter's supporters at the palace were
too powerful. Reshid Pasha is alleged to
have made a large fortune by corrupt
administration. He owns extensive prop
erty In Cyprus.
The Hamidieh (Kurdish) calvalry regi-
ment was called back as it was enter

was due to a protest against the en-
ployment of Asiatic troops, made by one
