Greensboro, y. c., Sept. 27.-The
Jury in the Harrington arson case
came into court at nine o'clock this
morning and asked Judge Shaw to
read over Tom Farrington's evidence
again. After this was done they re
tired. In half an hour they returned
and notified His Honor that 1t was
impossible for them to agree. judge
Shaw told them it was their duty to
come to some agreement; the State
and the accused. he said could never
agree on facts and for the reason the
Jury selected of unbiased and honest
men. was instituted. No juror, he
said. could withhold a verdict on ac
count of any pride of opinion first
formed 1t was their duty to reasoI
about the matter and agree among
themselves, discarding all personal
bias or individual concern. He tn IN
told them to retire, and adjourned
the court until two thirty o'clock.
The Farringtons were all placed III
custody of the sheriff last night when
the case was given to the jury and
ARE in Jail, pending the result of the
juryS deliberations. Fred OZement,
who was also in Jail last night but
who was sent back TO the roads this
morning, sent a note to one of his at
torneys, saying that Tom Harrington
had nothing whatever to do with the
burning and his testimony was false
connecting him with it. Upon receipt
of this information, Ozement was sent
for, and privately questioned about
this and declared orally, it is said, that
Tom Harrington was perfectly inno-
cent of the charge.

endeavoring to prevent the pigeon
holing Of the petition forwarded to
the President by citizens of Morgan
ton, in behalf of young Branch, of
which we gave an account yesterday
Mr.. Webb intends to re-introduce.
at the approaching session of Con-
gress, certain resolutions proposed by
him two years ago, asking for infor-
nation about the authority under
which subordinate officials, bureau
chiefs, private secretaries and others
employees of certain executive de-
partments of the Federal government
are permitted to purchase the most
expensive stationery manufactured
and have the same engraved hand
somely with their individual names
and titles, at public expense. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Webb will find, that
while he has never received any re-
sDonse to his resolution, in the way
of the desired information, orders
have been issued in more than one
department as a result of that reSo-
luton that no more plates for visit
ing cards, dinners and reception cards
are to be engraved at the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing for Assistant
secretaries, heads of bureaus and 9TH

It is often said that these resolu-

Washington, u. c., Sept. 27.-It is
confidentially stated here by an Of
fetal of the Internal Revenue Bureau
who has every opportunity of know
ing whereof he speaks that there is
going to be Il big shake up in ali Fed
eIal offices in North Carolina. The
friction between these officials who
come under the Department of JUS
ticC and those who are employees of
the Treasury department is not re-
garded with any degree of satisfac-
ton either by the Attorney Generals
office or by Commissioner Yerkes
and it looks now as If both Holton
and Price along with other lesser
lights will find themselves without
jobs when Commissioner Yerkes tells
the President the whole story. 1t is
we'll known here that Mr.. Roosevelt
holds Yerkes in high esteem even to
the extent of considering him for a
Cabinet position and he will undoubt-
edly have more to say about FEEDER
al affairs in North Carolina than eth
er Mr.. Rollins or Mr.. Blackburn. Mr.
Blackburn it must be said, however
is certainly persona grata with the
head of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau.

Verdict of the Jury.

At $3.50 o'clock this evening the
jury returned verdict of guilty as
to Beattie and Prince Harrington, but
they were unable to agree as to Tom
Harrington. Judge Shaw allowed
mistrial as to him. The defendant
gave a thousand dollar bond for his
appearance at the next term OF court
when he will be placed on trial again
Judge Shaw sentenced the boys to five
wears on the roads. Counsel gave no.
tice of appeal to the Supreme court,
and bond was fixed in the sum OF two
dollars each. harrington, ST..
gave his bond at once; the boys are
still in Jail. IT is said the jury stood
ten for conviction, and two for acquit
tai of Tom Harrington all the time.
Concerning Clements latest state
ment that Tom Harrington had moth
ing to do with the burning of the
barn, parties interested in the prose-
cution say it can be proven that while
in iail Monday, harrington was over
heard talking to Ozement about this
matter and that Harrington has an
almost hypnotic influence over the
fellow.

PROFESSOR HOPKINS
 TO LEAVE NEWPORT.
Will Become Principal of Fort Steele School at Little Rock. Supt. Hinemon Praises
 The Professor.

Announcement is made today by the school board that Prof. George R. Hopkins has accepted the principalship of the Fort Steele school for the ensuing year, says the Little Rock Dem- ocrat of Saturday.
 Prof. Hopkins was elected at the meeting of the board three weeks ago tonight, but it was said that there was some doubt of his accepting the position on account of the salary attached thereto. However, the an- nouncement today settles the matter, and the Little Rock schools get one of the best in- structors in the state.
 Prof. Hopkins has been in the Newport schools for the past two years, being principal in the Newport schools there for that length of time. Prior to that time he has taught for thirteen years, and Prof. J. H. Hinemon, state superintendent of public instruction, by whom the new principal is we'll known, states that among his acquaintances in school work he knows of no one more capable to fill the principal ship of fine of the Little Rock schools.
 The announcement of the ac- ceptance of Prof. Hopkins leaves only one principalship unsettled, that of the Twenty-frst street colored school. This will be taken up at the special meeting of the board next Saturday night. At this meeting the election of high school teachers will come up.
 WILL REMAIN HERE.
 Later-We are pleased to be able to state that MT. Hopkins will not leave Newport, and the local schools will continue to- en- joy his successful direction and superintendence.

OCTOR DEENER

Litt.6 ROCK, June 4.-Dr. R. s. Deener, a former convict in the Arkansas state penitentiary, who gave sensational testimony be- fore the penitentiary committee of the legislature on the condi- tions at the convict farm, was arrested yesterday at his home in Searcy by Deputy United States Marshal Burris on a charge of using the mails to defraud. The arrest was made on a war rant sworn out by District Alt torney w. G. Whipple.
 Deener is charged in the war rant with devising a scheme to defraud Mrs. Rosa Mallory of Fort Smith by obtaining from her the sum of $20 upon the false pretension that he could secure the release of her husband, Henry Mallory, from the Arkan- sas penitentiary by furnishing a health certificate representing that Mallory''s condition required his release.
 It is alleged that Deener wrote a letter to Mrs. Mallory agreeing to give the certificate and direct ing her to send him a check for $20. It is upon this that the charge of using the mails to de- fraud is based.
 Dr. Deener has had a check cred career since about fifteen years ago, when he was the pas tor of a church at Batesville. He was accused of certain for geries and fled from the country. He practiced medicine in Mexico for some time and then returned to Arkansas. Upon his return to this state he was arrested and convicted on the charge of for gery and sentenced to a term in the penitentiary. He Was par doned December "A, 1903. While in the penitentiary he assisted the physician in caring for the convicts and after his release he was retained for some time in the capacity of assistant phy- sician. It was while serving in this capacity that he is charged with having committed the of; fense against the postal laws.
 Dr. Deener was arraigned be- fore Commissioner O'Hair in this city yesterday, but waived exam ination. He was released under $500 bond.

The next few years will he dis
tlnguished as the time in which indus
trial problems are settled, the reign Of
special privileges brought to an end,
the recognition of the doctrine of

are in the midst of the most dramatic
period OF american history, the period
in which the peoples rights are to be
defined and observed as they never

There have been great reform
movements in the days gone by, but

were driven away and remained but a
season, and then returned after the
