means that he was heady and high
minded, that he had a vain self-esteem
which made him unteachable. And the
charge Of casting Gods words behind
him would imply that he gave them Il
subordinate place in his life and put his
own judgments and thoughts before
those of God. More than likely, intel
lectualism and higher criticism were
barriers that prevented Gods words

HERE is THE SNAG
Hitch in the Anglo-Rus
sian Convention Easy
to Remedy(?)
lRv the Associated Press.l


st. Petersburg, Nov. 17.-At the For
eign Office the Associated Press learns
there is absolutely no cause for the
alarmist reports regarding the hitch
in the Anglo Russian convention which
it is confidently expected will be re-
moved and a full agreement reached
within a few days. The reports that
Ambassador Bekendorff will be recall-
ed is ridiculed. The situation is ex-
planned as follows:
Russia Professionally accepted the
text of the convention in English as
submitted by Great Britain but when
it was translated exception was taken
to the phraseology particularly to the
portion referring to the determination
of the question of blame Russia con-
tending that the context did not clearly
raise the question Of any blame which
might attach to the other side. Ex-
ception was also taken to the language
relating to the firing upon the fisher-
men which as worded left the i'm
preston that the Russian ships know
ingly fired upon them. Consequent
ly, Russia prepared an entirely new
text in French which was submitted
but was rejected by Great Britain.
Then after some exchanges in which
French assistance was Acknowledged
an arrangement was reached that
each side submit new texts from WHICH
no difficulty is anticipated in reach
ing a final conclusion. One of the
points agreed to is a preamble where
in the procedure is described but more
important is a proposition for sup
Elementary article which will lay down
the procedure for this convention ana

tions between the two countries crea-

solving similar misunderstanding in

POLICE SEEK MARIA JUSTICE.
She is Charged With Forgery and Is
Wanted in Waynesville.
lSnecial to News and Observer.)


Asheville, n. c., Nov. 17.-The
Asheville police department has re-
ceived a message from Chief Watson
of Waynesville, requesting the officers
here to look out for and arrest a Mrs
Maria Justice, wanted in Waynesville
for forgery. Mrs Justice. who form
erly lived in Asheville. and who is
we'll known here. is alleged to have
forged a check last Friday on the
Bank of Waynesville for 5000, and
later succeeded in having it cashed by
a merchant of that place. The check,
il is further said, was not presented
TO the bank until yesterday morning,
when it was ascertained that forg-
cry had been committed and payment
was refused.
The Waynesville officers were noti-
fed of the affair and search made for
the woman. 1t was learned that she
had left Waynesviile shortly after re-
ceiving the money coming towards
ASheville. At clyde, it is alleged, she
attempted to purchasae a ticket to
Washington, but succeeded in buying
transportation only as far as this city.
Patrolnan Bartlett, who knows the
woman, said today that he saw Mrs.
Justice in Asheville early in the week,
but at that time knew nothing of the
forgery ana consequently paid no at
tention to her. 1t is presumed that
the woman remained here but few
hours. She was aCcompanie by a
small child.

were asphyxiated by gas at Dover. n.
j., to-day, at the plant of the Dover
Rockaway and Port Dram Gas Com
pany They constituted the entire
working force of the place and were
discovered by George e. Bunnell, a
former employe, who on visiting the
plant found it apparently deserted
with engines running under a full
head of steam and scarcely any water
in the boilers. After shutting down
the engines and attending to the boil
ers Bunnell went through the works
and found the four men beneath ar
open trap door in the meter room
with the space under the floor tilleG
with gas from a broken valve in the
drop pipe.
The men were William Bulwer, Il
years old, employed as a fireman;
Elias Chamberlain. the engineer; Osto
Fidschuma, painter, and a man known
only as Gustave also a painter.
The men lay together in a heap
and Bunnell noticing that the man on

rescue him, but became so weakened

that Bulmer went through the trap
