WRIGHT TO QUIT
Dissatisfied With Philip
pine Situation.
He Will Resign the Goyernor.Ge
ship of the Islands and Presiden-
cy Of the Philippine Com.
mission.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 12.-By reason of
what appears to be dissatisfaction
with the situation in the Philippines,
Luke f. Wright, governor general of
the Philippines, and president of the
Philippine Commission will retire
from that position about the first of
December. General Wright is ex
pectcd to arrive in the United States
during that month, and is entitled to
six months leave of absence prior to
the formal REIMBURSEMENT of his la
bors as governor general. 1t is un-
derstood that he expects to return to
Memphis, Tenn, to resume the prac-
tice of law. President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft. it is believed, practi
cally have decided upon the success
sOr to General Wright. but no intima-
tion has been permitted to become
public as to his identity. 1t can be
stated reasonably definitely that Cen
eral Wright'S successor will not be a
man now connected with the commits
sion.
Governor Wright and Mrs. Wright,
il is said. have not been thoroughly
satisfied with their environment in
the Philippines, although the General
always manifested a deep interest in
his duties and in the development of
the resources of the islands. Recent
ly General Wright has not been in per-
feet accord with some of the plans
proposed for the benefit of the islands,
but 1t cannot be said at this time that
is the reason for his retirement from
office of governor general

FRAUDS IN PHILADELPHIA.
Warrants for Arrest of Men Charged
With Conspiracy to Defraud
During Ashbridge's Ad-
miniStratiOn.
(By the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 12.-The ad-
ministration of former Mayor Samuel
A. Ashbridge was brought into the
local political turmoil when warrants
were sworn out today for the arrest of
Abraham L. English, who was director
of public safety during the term Of
Mayor Ashbridge, and four others,
charging them with conspiracy to
cheat and defraud the city in connec-
ton with the execution and carrying
out the contract for the erection of a
smallpox hospital which is one of a
group of buildings forming the new
municipal hospital. The other ac-
cused men are John w. Henderson
and Henry f. Baton, of the contract
ing firm of Henderson and Company;
Phillip Johnson, a former city archi-
tect and brother-in-law of Israel W.
Durham, leader of the local Republi-
can organization, and James ID. Fin
lay, cousin of Durham, and a former
inspector at the new municipal hos
pital.
No one identified with the prosecu-
ton will make a statement relative to
the manner in which the city is alleged
to have been defrauded.
The warrants implicate "others to
the deponent now unknown" and there
is much speculation as to the identity
OF the unknown men.

ing him with fraudulently taking
hmoney from the Weissel estate, Ar
mitage Mathews, lawyer and secre-
tary of the county Republican com
mite, committed suicide today by
jumping from window in his apart
ment to stone paved court yard. He
struck on his head, fracturlng the
skull and died in short time
Mathews who was a young man,
had advanced rapidly. both in the
practice OF his profession and i'm poll
tics. He was a riend of former Gov
ernor Black and OF Abraham Gruber,
and they were loyal to him in his
trouble acting as legal advisers ana
doing all they could to aid him OBJ
tain the change of venue from this
county, for which he appealed.
The change of venue was denied
yesterday and trial of the case was
set for today before Justice Davy IN

received a special delivery letter.
After reading it his house-keeper
heard him go to a bath room and
open window. a few seconds later
he jumped to his death. Several ten
ants in house opposite Mathews
apartment saw him jump. A doctor
was hurriedly summoned but could
do nothing and Mathews died in a few
minutes.

GATT|S VS.. K|LGO
Argument for Fourth
Time in Supreme
Court.

The case of Gattis VS.. Kilgo was ar
gued in the Supreme court yesterday
for the fourth time. Besides the at
torneys interested there were few pres
ent during the argument which con-
sumed the entire time of the court.
There were only four justices on the
bench, Chief Justice Clark, by reason
of his connection with the Kilgo-ClarlS
controversy out Of which the suit
arose, not sitting.,
The public is familiar with the
grounds on which the suit is based
and with its history At a special
term of Wake county court last June,
Judge Moore non-suited the plaintiff
Gattis on the ground that under the
last decision of the Supreme court the
plaintiff had not shown any malice in
the publication of the matter COM
planned of. The plaintiff contends that
although the occasion of the hearing
of the charges against DR.. Kilgo be-
fore the Board of Trustees of Trinity
College was a qualified privilege, the
wide publication and the employment
of the newspapers to give publicity to
the speech of DR.. Kilgo against Mr..
Gattis constituted malice. There were
also questions affecting the right of
the plaintiff to Introduce testimony
showing material damages which he
has suffered by reason of the alleged
libel.
There were present at the hearing
for the plaintiff Messrs Graham and
Devin, A. A. Hicks, G. B. Watson and
Tom NJ Argo; for the defendants
Duke and Kilgo, Messrs. Robert Win
ston, r. r. Hicks, Ex-Governor Aycock
