A CANADIAN PLOT.
Scandalous Attempt Reported to Over
throw Laurier Crowd.


Toronto, Ont, Dec. 6. Political affairs
in Canada are just now experiencing the
lseyerest strain they have ever undergone
in the way Of scandal Facts have just
come to light which 90 to show that
Ia plot was formed in Montreal, with d
possible New York connection, for over
throwing the government Of Sir Will
| frid Laurier at the recent Dominion
elections. A capitalist is thought to
have been at the foundation Of the
scheme, and he is said to have called
lin the assistance Of a cabinet minister
The minister, the story goes, was to
take leading part in exposing an al
legged department scandal, which was TO
be so disgusting that seven supporters
lof Sir Wilfrid Laurier in Quebec were
to resign in consideration Of receiving
brides Of $4,000 each Another detail
Of the scheme, it IL said was that a
well known Liberal organ, under new
management, should turn against the
government.
Sir Wilfrid, by some threat not yet
known to the public, il said to have
checked the minister, whose failure to
make good his plans caused the plot to
collapse. Il is said that the minister
had already received $4,000 Of the $780,
600 which, il is alleged, he was to get
for his part in the deal. The affair is
likely TO be investigated by d parlia
lmentary commission.

FAN River, Mass, Dec. Contrary
TO general expectation, no concerted at
tempt was made today by the cotton
manufacturers Of this city to break the
great strike of their operatives by i'm.
porting large number Of workmen from

change in the situation early today. All
the mills opened their gates and the
rate of gain was about the same as on
previous days since the mills were re-
opened. At some places number OF
extra hands went in, while at others
there was practically no increase. There
were no crowds about the mill gates and
no disturbances occurred.

Boston, Mass, Dec. Cone Of Cover
nor Douglas pleasant duties next year
win be to receive on behalf OF the Com
monwealth, through the Metropolitan
Water Board, the new Reservoir at Gin
ton
This great undertaking, whereby the
water supply Of the metropolitan dis.
trict will be more than doubled, will be
completed by August, if there are no
bitches, at aeost Of S1,5o0,o0o for the
dam alone.
To stop the waters OF the Nashua river
land send them back until they cover
more than six and one-haf square miles,
in a reservoir holding 63,00o,0O0 gallons
Iis the greatest task in the water works
line yet undertaken in this region, and
the work has gone on continuously for
four years.
Six large mills, eight schoolhouses,
four churches and about three hundred
and sixty dwelling houses, occupied by
upward Of seventeen hundred people,
were wiped out to give Boston and
its suburbs water. Buildings, trees, sur
face soil and other sources Of possible
pollution were swept aside until the
basin resembled desert, with no sign
of vegetation.
A bar Of granite 207 feet high from
bed rock, has been raised to stop the
water. Six miles Of railroad has been
relocated and part Of it carried through
a tunnel and over the river on 4 steel
viadlct 921 feet long and 1873 feet above
the old river bed.
The rainfall experts think that the
Wachusett Reservoir win collect on an
average l54,736,ooo gallons OF water
each day in the year from its water shed
Iof lis square miles.
The old Coehituate system, with but
a little less than nineteen square miles
from which to feed, and the Sudbury
River system, with seventy-iive square
miles, are cast in the shade by this new
monster among reservoirs.
The metropolitan water works last
year furnished to the eighteen cities and
towns taking the service 39,057, $1,000
gallons Of water, The average daily
consumption was 107,148,00o gallons, or
I1f9 to each person in the district.

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.
HON. HENRY G. DAVIS, NOMI-
NEE FOR VICE-PRESIDENT
A Notable Figure in the Life of West
erty to Afliuence From Il
Brakeman to the
u. S. Senate.

Hon. Henry G.. Davis, of West Viz
ginia, the Democratic nominee FOR
vice-president is unqueStionably the
leading spirit in the development OF
West Virginia. He was born in Bal
timore, Md, on the 9Th of November,
1928 began life on the farm, owes
nothing of his great success to inherl-
lance. but has worked it out himself.
In the battle of life he has built
railroads, organized banks, opened
mines and sat in the Senate of the
United States. His own energy has
made him. All his formal education
was obtained in the winter schools of
Howard county. Acquaintance with
the world, observation and reflection
did the rest. His fathers death left
the family so that Henry, but boy,
had to support them, his mother teach
ing school, so he worked on eX-GOV-
ernor Howard's farm. He kept his
eve on. the railroad, became a brake
man, on the Baltimore and Ohio, then
a conductor and afterwards an agent.
Finally he went into the merchandise
business with his brother, was sue
cessful and invested in coal mines in
West Virginia. Opening up these
made him prominent and in 1871 he
was elected to the United States Sen
ate, his public service beginning in
1865 in the Legislature of West Vlr-
ginia. He returned from the Senate
in 1888.
He is president of a number Of
railroads and banks, and despite his
age is a wonderfully young man, Wig
orous in mind and body He has fire.
quently been mentioned for Governor
of his State, but has been too busy
to accept. He was one of the Ameri-
can delegates to the Pan-American
Congress and is member of the
Inter-continental Railway system. He
has travelled widely and is known in
business affairs il, New York and Bal
timore. He has given large sums for
churchec and schools. In religion he
is a Presbyterian, in politics always a
Democrat.
He is the son of the late Caleb and
Louisa Brown, his mother of Scotch
Irish lineage, one of her sisters being
the mother of Senator Arthur =. Cor
man. One of Senator Davis daugh-
ters is the wife of Senator stephen b.
Elkin5, of West Virginia, with whom
he has business interests. In 1853
he married Miss Kate a. Bantz, of
Frederick, Nd, and to them were born
five children.
Senator Davis is a worker. Life
has been full of toll, but his spirit is
as buoyant, his interest in affairs as
keen and his activity as driving, as
when he first twisted a brake on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

SUPERIOR COURT IN CATAWBA.
Some of the More Important Cases to
Come Up This Week.
Special to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer.)
Newton, NJ c., July 9.-The July
term of Catawba Superior court will
open Monday morning with Hon.
Thomas A. Mcneil presiding. The
term will last two weeks. There are
tifty-four criminal cases on docket, di-
vided into the following classes: Ten
for assault and affrays, six for carry
ing concealed weapons, four for lar
ceny, fourteen for failing to list prop
erty for taxation, two for abandon
ment thirteen for selling liquor, and
the remaining for minor offenSeS.
The most of the liquor cases can be
traced indirectly to the interest work.
ed by the anti-Saloon League of this
place and the chances of getting
whiskey anywhere around here are
very scarce.
There is one case of false pretence
in which the defendant wired that he
had sent in orders for goods to the
Radical Remedy Company, of Hick-
DRY, and wanted expense money The
cost was sent, but no orders ever
turned up.
The civil docket contained thirty
two cases, three of which have al
ready been to the Supreme Court and
new trials granted. These three are
hard-fought cases. The other cases
of most interest are: M. w. Hatton
"A. a.
Huffman and others VS.. w. ID. Ekard
and others.
The case of Hatton VS.. Bolin is a
suit Involving Claremont College at
Hickory. Hatton, the former presi-
dent, sold out the school together with
the furniture books, etc, and the
good will of the school to Bolin, taking
a mortgage for the balance due. He
now brings suit for the purchase
money still due. Bolin sets up the
counter claim that Hatton was not
the owner of all the property sold,
and that he has violated his contract
not to solicit pupils from North Car
DINA. He claims that While in Bris-
toll, Va, in charge of a college there,
Hatton wrote to students whom he
knew intended coming to Claremont
and urged them to come to Bristol in
stead, and also tried to get some of
the Claremont teachers to change
their positions. The fight will be in
teresting to say the least.
The other case is ? contest over a
church decided to the trustees of the
Evangelical Lutheran church. Since
the deed was made, there has been
a division among the members, part
affilIating with the Synod of Tennes-
see and part with the Synod of Ohio
The courts have been called on to
settle which is the proper branch to
hold the church.

PARKER AND BRYAN
How the Formers Gold
Bomb Was Received.
A Powerful Speech BY the Nebraskan,
Whose Magnificent Personality
Impressed Itself on the
Convention.
BY f. B. ARENDELL.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 80 p. NJ
Judge Parker's telegram announcing
his financial views, received here this
afternoon threw the convention into
a panic, and on the motion of Senator
Culberson the convention, pending
hearing nominating speeches for vice.

m. Hill, Tillman, Daniel. Montague,
Cannon, Sheehan, Carmack and others
then went into conference.
The convention reassembled at $50
O'Clock and Immediately Governor
Vardaman moved that the telegram
from Judge Parker be read to the
convention. While he was speaking,
Senator Dubois called for the regular
order, The Idaho Senator was
Squelched by the chairman, who re-
piled that the regular order was for
Governor Vardaman to go ahead with
his speech. Raines, of New York,
asked that the Vardaman resolution
be deferred until the arrival of the
chairman Of the New York delegation.
The band then struck UP and the
music kept down the excitement for
several minutes.
The local papers plaStered the
streets with red hot extras and during
last, and nearly every man you met
had different opinion as to the real
interest and probable effect of the
Parker telegram.
A hurried and exciting conference
was held at the Southern Hotel, where
the Parker leaders made an effort to
discuss and consider the telegram
calmly, and agree upon some method
of laying it before the convention, and
having it considered without further
panic or frenzied excitement.
Senator Tillman, Senator Blackburn,
Governor Fardanian and others were
at first vigorous in their condemnation
of the action of the Presidential nomi-
nee, though the delegates generally
waited patiently to hear the original
telegram read and to hear what Judge
Parker's New York friends had to say
with reference to the matter.
The North Carolina delegation treat
ed the matter quietly and calmly wait

SAFETY IN PARKER
So Says Gov. Aycock OF
Convention S Nominee
A Wise and Able
Platform.

Democrats in Raleigh were mighty
pleased Yesterday at the result of the
convention in st. Louis. Everywhere
the feeling was expressed that in Judge
Parker the convention had selected a
ca fe and able man who could success
fully appeal to the great mass of the
party's voters irrespective of their diff
ferent shades of opinion on questions
which have in the past been cause for
dissension.
This expressed sentiment is we'll set
forth in an interview accorded me by
Governor AycOck at the executive
mansion last night. The Governor
said:
Judge Parker is in all respects an
excellent man for President. He is a
Democrat always and everywhere. He
does not create enthusiasm as a candi-
date, but he does satisfy the judgment
of the voter.
"By the way, you may recall the fact
that popular men who arouse great
feeling in the breasts of their follow
ers are rarely ever elected President.
Clay, Blaine and Bryan were all mag
netic men and their supporters all but
worshipped them, but they were beat
en- for the Presidency.
Judge Parker will grow in the con-
fidence of the people as the campaign
progresses, and / believe he will be
elected The people want a servant,
rot d master. A strenuous individual
is Alright strenuous President is a
menace to peace, prosperity and safety.
wise and brave servant of the peo-
pie in the office of PreSident is what
the country needs and this it Will find
in Judge Parker.
1.-The platform is in every respect adj
mirable. 1t is good in itself and good
in it's omissions. 1t deals with all the
live questions and does so wisely and
clearly. 1t ignores dead and dormant
issues ana by doing SO, compels every
man who intends to continue to call
himself a Democrat to vote with us
this time. With every Democrat Vot-
ing with us and with thousands of Re-
publicans afraid of Roosevelt and his
impulse ready to do likewise, l think
the Democratic party may enter this
fight full of hope"
