A SUMMER SCHOOL
Will Not Be Held at A. &
N. College this Year
Enthusiastic Local Educational Iced
ers are Planning to Hold One at
Their Personal Risk-WiII Prob
ably Determine Today.

No Summer School will be held at
the A. and NJ. College this year This
decision was announced yesterday af-
ternoon. But this will not prevent
the holding Of Summer School IN
Raleigh this year, and already actlVe
and effective measures have been ta-
ken to secure a location for the school,
and if this may be done Raleigh Will
again be the host of company of
fair ladies.
There arc a large number of teach
ers in Raleigh who have had con-
ference on the question of a Summer
School and they have decided to hold
one on their own responsibility, ana
they have begun to make arrange
ments The question win probably be
definitely determined this afternoon.
Several gentlemen connected with
education in this city will make pro-
visor. for this school, for month
during the summer, if they can Sc
cure accommodations for visitors,
hall for public lectures and concerts,
and rooms for recitations. If these
can be obtained in the city, the pro-
fessors will conduct the school at
their personal risk at the same rate
Of tuition as charged heretofore, and
without public or private contribu-
tons. There is 10 doubt that a good
school may be held, but it is impossi-
BILE to expect that with the present
law affecting this institution, the
school will be as largely attended as
was that OF last year
There are two reasons why the
Summer School will not be held at
the A. and M, College this year
First, the attendance would be
much smaller than that of last year,
and Justice could not, therefore, be
done to the business men of Raleigh
who largely subscribed the fund for
it's maintenance; and
Second, The college has no funds
for operating the boarding depart
ment or for supplying coal for gener-
ating light, and for paying the engln-
eer and other similar expenses. IL
was said that the loss to the college,
if the school were held, would pc
more than $1,000.
The Committees Work.
'Ehe Summer School committee ap-
pointed by the Chamber of Commerce,
completed it's work over month ago
and experienced no difficulty IN Sc
curing subscriptions to the amouIis
asked-$1,5 00-and the chairman OF
the committee and several members
believed that. if necessary, fuliy 3z'VVV
could have been subscribed. some
thing over $1,000 of this amount Was
raised in sums ranging from SAo
to $100.

ney East.

Denver, Colo. May S.-The enter
tainment of President Roosevelt by the
citizens of Denver tonight was a fit

come as he journed through Colorado
from Glenwood Springs to Denver. All
the towns along the Denver q Rio

hearty good will was seen and heard.

Train Loads Reach New
York Rotten.
THE ARMOURS BLAMED
Their Cars Are at Last Moving The
Berries From Our Stations. Esti-
mates of Losses in the Belt
Show That They Have
Been Enormous.

Special to News and Observer
New York, May 8.-The local straw
berry market is completely demoraliz-
ed through the failure of the refriger-
ator car trust, which is controlled by
the Armours and has the perishable
fruit trade completely at its mercy, to
furnish sufficient number of cars to
transport the crop from the South. A
conservative estimate places the loss
already in ruined fruit at 100000.
The great bulk of this fall upon the
growers.
The PENNSYLVANIA road company,
which brings fruit from the South in
conjunction with the Atlantic Coast
Line. condemned eleven carloads of
strawberries today. The berries
reached Jersey City in such condition
that they were taken to Jersey mead .
ows and dumped. Hundreds of car
loads have been treated in the same
way during the past week. The loads
came in open cars owing to the scar
city of refrigerator cars.
Commission men are unanimous in
blaming the Armour trust for this
condition of things. 1t takes from
three to six days to bring the berries
from the fruit belt, instead of the us
ual forty-eight hours. Advices receiv-
ed here state that hundreds of. thous
ands of crates of strawberries have
persisted in the railroad stations of
North Carolina towns through the
trusts policy of Indifference to the
needs of the growers. The growers are
threatening suits for damages against
the transportation lines. The latter
claim that they are not to blame as
the Armour Company has defaulted in
it's contract to furnish a certain num-
Der of cars.

PUT AT HALF A MILLION.
The Losses in the Two Carolinas-
Plan on Foot to Compromise
ON Losses.

Especial to News and Observer
Wilmington. n. c., May S.-Reports
from all important shipping points of
North and South Carolina indicate a
loss of half a million dollars to straw
berry growers last week through fall
uEe of transportation companies to
supply refrigerator cars The situa-
ton today, however, is much better,
practically all calls for refrigerator
cars being supplied in this State.
Telegraphic and other advices to the
Carolina Fruit and Truckers Journal
up to ten o'clock tonight show
movement of 1913 car loads today
north from the Chadbourn section by
the Weldon railroad. Tomorrow the
movement will be heavier. but there
are 8 refrigerator cars in sight at
ready with a possibility of others dur
ing the day.
The ruling prices of strawberries are
fair to good and the growers continue
to pick and pile up berries on the
platforms. What the final result will
be is an unknown quantity.
The season is at its height and dur
ing the past week but little more than
half the berries rendered for ship
ment were moved to their destination
AS early as a week ago evidences of
an impending car famine became
manifest whereupon the fruit and
Truckers Association with headquart-
ers in this city issued instructions
through it's attorney to all growers to
tender their berries for shipment and
demand the railroad company's re-
ceipt which has been done in every
case. Whether the trouble is due to
the failure of the Atlantic Coast Line
to make requisition in time for sufti-
cient number of refrigerator cars or
the failure of the Armour Car Line
Company to provide the necessary
equipment is a matter for the railroad
and refrigerator people to settle be-
tween themselves. The growers hold
the Atlantic Coast Lines receipts and
there are not two more solvent insti-
tutions in the country than the At
Iantic Coast Line and the Armour Car
Line.
Little trouble is therefore involved
in the speedy collection for all dam
ages by the neglect of either or both
In many cases berries have either
rotted on the platforms or been
dumped in the creeks for lack of cars
i'm which to move A compromise plan
for the adjustment of all losses out
of court is already on foot.

The above is probably the most re-

Sidney Perry had told his father if

he snatched up his gun and blew the

EACH SIDE GAINS
The Employers Operate
More Wagons.
The Strikers Receive ACCessiOns to
Their Numbers and Will Receive
More Yet Today. The RiOting

Sharper.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago. May 8.-Both employers
and strikers claim gains today in the
transfers strike. Employers declare
that .hey have gained a decided adj
vantage in the number of wagons sent
out and the amount of business trans
acted The strikers claim is based on
the fact that ESQ drivers for the var
ious furniture dealers in the city Will
strike tomorrow morning and that $50
paint workers employed by the Heath
& Milligan Company struck today.
The furniture dealers ordered thelr
men to carry goods to the boycotted
houses and the strike tomorrow Will
be the result
The paint workers of Heath & Milf
gan are the first members of any un-
ion not a member of the teamsters or
ganization to go on strike in support
Of the teamsters. They have walked
out because of the delivery OF goods
by non-union teamsters.
The State street department stores
and large drygoods houses sent out
nearly their full complement of de-
livery wagons this morning and
throughout the day transacted pusi-
ness on almost a normal basis. On the
wagons of Carson, Pierce, Scott &
Company ample preparations were
made for possible trouble. All their
wagons were guarded by at least two
representatives of the law. either po-
lice officers or deputy sheriffs. the lat
ter being in all cases armed with rifles.
The deputies sat in the rear of the
wagons and held their guns in position
to use at the first sign of disturbance.
The big department store of Roths-
child & Company, for the first time
since the strike began loading their
wagons in State street this morning,
usin gpolice and duputy sheriffs for
protection When it was found that
they could not be supplied with the
necessary number of deputies numbers
of their employees were sworn in as
deputy sheriffs. This procedure was
adopted by many of the houses, and
the sheriff by night had I,150 deputies
at work.
Charles A. Stevens & Bros. sent out
all of their wagons today and made
deliveries throughout the city without
interruption. Marshall Field & Co,
Siegel, Cooper & Co. and Mandel Bros.
had out the greater number of their
wagons and made deliveries within
somewhat limited area.
Fifteen hundred wagons manned
by non-union men were operated from
State street to-day, and the number
will be materially increased tomor-
row. No more colored men are to be
hired by the Employers leaning
Company. Individual contracts are
made with all men hired, and they
will be given permanent employment.
The rioting today was of a sharper
character than that of Saturday
Three men were fatally injured and a
number Of others were hurt.
Mayor Dunno to investigate the strike
commenced operations today. 1t did
little business, but organized for flu
ture work, however, and the promise
for the success of the performance of
it's mission does not seem bright. 1t
has no power to summon witnesses,
and must, therefore, rely on volun-
teered testimony.

LEO ON HIS HIND LEGS.
Sharp Criticism of the French Govern
ment by the British Press.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris. May S.-The critical tone of
the British press concerning Frances
alleged breaches of neutrality in
lndo-China brought out an emphatic
general statement today from the
Foreign Office that the accusations are
unfounded.
DIR. Montono, the Japanese minister
to France. went to the Foreign Office
yesterday evening where he had an
extended interview with Foreign Min
lister Delcasse. The nature of their
conversation was not disclosed but it
is understood that DR.. Montono re-
ferred to Japan's increasing impa-
thence regarding the alleged breaches
of neutrality
The feeling prevails here that the
situation is gradually assuming much
tension. Reports are current that the
positive instructions of the French of
ficialS here receive perfunctory execu-
ton on the part of their subordinates
in Indo-China owing to the individual
sympathy existing between the. civil
and naval French and Russian au-
% tiles.
semi-official note issued this af-
loon says:
Contrary to the allegation con-
led in a dispatch from Hong Kong
- a foreign agency. not only has the
ench government not diSregarded
rules of neutrality. but after send
it's civil and military agents very
ecise instructions for the enforce
mt of these rules the government
s looked to their execution.

dence Baptist church. Greensboro.
Rev. ToIliver took for his subject
Life based on the fourteenth verse
OF the fourth chapter of James. He

The annual address before the liter
airy societies was given last night in
the college chapel by Prof. p. w.
Moore. principal of the State Normal
School at Elizabeth City. Prof. Moore

The speaker discussed Things
Fundamental and Essential. Moral
and industrial worth are more im-
portant than literary worth. People
who stand for character, property and
self-respect will not commit crime. A
man is valuable to society only as he
is producer and consumer and not
merely a consumer.

The indications are that French
hospitality will not be taxed much
longer by the Russian warships,
which have been lowering about the
coast of Indo-China for nearly a
month Official advices have
reached st. Petersburg, which are be-
lieved to indicate that the division UNI
der Vice Admiral Nebogatoff has eff
fectod a junction with the more pow
erful squadron commanded by Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky, and at the
Russian capital it is expected that
the combined squadrons will lose no
time in steaming northward to en-
counter tn Japanese. Confirmation
of st. Petersburg expectations is af-
forded by an official dispatch to the
French naval Office announcing that
the Russian squadron has left Hong
Hal Bay, its destination being UNI
known. The place named is probably
what is shown on some maps as Kanh
Hoa, or Mia Trang, which is a few
miles south of Hon Kobe Bay, where
the Russian ships were recently re-

ST Petersburg, May S,-Interest is

news from the front indicating that
Field Marshal Oyama is pressing Gen

west of the railroad with considerable
force as if about to undertake a gem

are falling back upon their first line
of defense.
The Russian advance post covers a
front of about one hundred miles. The
Russian cavalry rrotect both wings

against a surprise turning movement

however, that Oyama's purpose is TO

investment of the latter place.
Linevitch's dispositions seem espec1-
