Butler and Party as "Nincoptic Cab
Squirts and RapscaIIions.

Special to News and Observer
Greensboro N. c., Feb. Elm spite of
the resolutions adopted by the committee
here yesterday, lauding Roosevelt and his
administration in every particular except
that relating to negro predictions, the
information is volunteered by one who is
absolutely above reproach on questions
of veracity and standing in the Republl-
can organization, that Butler did write
the resolution, at the request of the
president; thatNthey were drafted on the
train between Washington and Greens
boro by Butler himself, and at the con-
ference with a few Eastern members yes
terday morning, where they were consid
cred, the copy in Buffers own handwrit-
ing was accepted. Mr.. Claudius Dockery,
however, who offered them, may be able
to shed more favorable light on the &C.
currence. Western Republicans at least
bitterly resent this reported powerful
hold Mr.. Butler seems to have on the
President and the State organization.
They say they have enough to stand as
it is. One of them this morning quoted
the now famous phrase of A. Adam
Bede in that recent celebrated speech in
Congress as a fit description of Butler,
and said the President was in danger of
being considered at least in sypathy with
Populist doctrines. Buffers party is
composed" said he, ''of an aimless and
useless catawampus of nincoptic CAB
squirts and rapscalllons, and he is the
party"

IN CONVENT HOME
Mrs. Maybrick Serves
Last Few Months of
Sentence.
NV the Associated Press. }

London, Feb. 6-Mrs Maybrick is serv-
ing out the last few months of her life
sentence for the killing of her husband
in the quiet country home of the Sisters
OF the Epiphany at Truro, Cornwall, under
an assumed name and with her identity
completely hidden. She is guarded from
communication with the outside world as
jealousy as if she were still in Aylesbury
prison
Though the fresh Cornwall air is bring
ing the color back to her cheeks. the
strain of her fourteen years OF confine-
ment, commencing with the imposition OF
the death sentence, passed under the
severe discipline of various prisons, is
still evident in her careworn look. This,
however, is the only outward sign she
shows of her ordeal Even the sisters
with which Won she associates and the
servants have no idea that she really is
Mrs. Maybrick.
She wears an ordinary black dress with
a white frill at her throat. She occupies
a pleasant, simply furnished room in the
home. and rises at six o'clock each morn
ing. Though free agent in many ways
she is obliged to conform to the strict
discipline of the convent. She takes her
meals in silence, and is not allowed to
converse except upon religious topics dur
ing the dav.
At tea time when for an interval the
sisters are permitted to talk of mundane
.nings Mrs MAVERICK retlres to her own
room. She must be in bed by nine O'Clock.
No newspapers are allowed her. and only
such books as are given her by the sisters.

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, N. C., Feb. 6.-CollectOr Carl
Duncan, of Raleigh, stopped over here
today on his way home from Greensboro
and tonight there is a new collector of
internal revenue for Durham. DR.. E. H.
Bowling, appointed to succeed J. V.
Rigsbee, resigned, and w. F. Cheek, his
clerk is now collector. There was a tech
nical charge that caused DR.. Bowling to
resign. He had been getting Clerk Cheek
to do outside collecting for him and he
was paid $500 month by Bowling for
this service.
With this technical charge Duncan ap-
preached Bowling and he was quickly
told that he could get his resignation il
so desired. That settled the matter and
Bowling handed in his resignation, say
ing that he was losing money by hold
ing the place, and that he would look
after his practice and private interests.
1t is learned that the real trouble with
Bowling is that some of the leading poll
ticians, principally w. r. OBrien and S.
M. Holton, both ex-chairmen of the
county executive committee, have been
fighting him. The meeting of the State
Committee in Greensboro was attended
by both O'Brien and Holton, and the
fact that Duncan stopped off here and
removed Bowling looks significant. The
matter is causing much talk tonight and
Will cause more when it becomes gen
orally known. The Republican factions
are badly split and it will be a Ions
time before reconciliation.

DlSREGARDED GRANTS PROMISE
Fund to Reimburse Confederates for
Aims and Horses Taken Runs Low.
By the Associated Press. }

Washington, Feb. Elm answer to a
personal inquiry today from Senator
Bate, of Tennessee, respecting the dis
bursements he has made so far TO Con-
federate veterans or in case of their
death to the surviving members of then
families, on account of horses, side arms
and personal property taken from them
by Union troops after the surrender at
Appamottox, Quartermaster General
Humphrey has replied that out of 661
cases presented he has settled all but "a
claims. The result has been to almost
exhaust the appropriation made by Con-
gress for this purpose and upon General
Humphrey recommendation an add
tional sum of money will be asked for.
Most of these personal property losses
were sustained in Tennessee, North Geor-
gia and southern Kentucky.
Apparently General Grants promise,
made at Appomattox that the surrender
ed Confederate veterans should retain
their horses, side arms and personal
property did not become known in sea-
son in the section of the country above
mentioned, for at Cold Springs there was
a general seizure of such property by the
Union troops.

In the summer of 1902, few of the
