ROOSEVELT CANNOT COME.
North Carolina Teachers Association
= Finds it is Useless to Invite The
President to Address the Body.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Washington, ID. c., March 13.-At
the request of Prof. j. /. Foust, Secre-
tary of the North Carolina Teachers
Association, Senator Simmons today
called at the White House to inquire
of the President if his engagements
were such as would permit him to
consider an invitation of the Teachers
Association to visit and address the
association at it's meeting this year,
in which event committee of the as
ISOLATION would wait upon him and
formally extend the invitation. Presi-
dent Roosevelt expressed his regret
that his engagements were such that
he could not even consider the invi-
tation.
Senator Simmons called at the War
Department this morning and was in
formed that all Confederate flags
which could be identified would be
returned to the States from whose
troops they were taken. The Secre-
tary of War will in short time pro-
mulgate regulations with reference to
the return of the flags.
A report was current in North Caro-
lima that only those flags captured
prior to Appomattox would be re-
turned, hence Senator Simmons visit
to the department.

BLACKLEY CASE TODAY.
Hard Fought EmbezzIement Case
Comes Up Before Supreme
Court.

The case of j. C. Blackley, the horae
trader who was convicted in the Wake
Superior Court of embeZzlement from
one Meadow by reason of selling and
appropriating the proceeds of several
car loads of mules which had been
shipped to him as agent will be heard
on appeal in the Supreme Court today.
Blackley's defense is based on tech
nical grounds. In the first place he
alleges that the prosecutor Meadow
was not the owner of the property
alleged to have been embezzled. as
there was partnership existing at the
time between the said Meadow and
one Simpson,; and. also that by reason
of the fact that the defendant was
chargeable with certain expenses i'll
connection with the stock, he was Il
constructive partner and therefore not
indictable for endorsement
Blackley has fought the case with
vigor since the charge was first
brought against him. The trial was
first had before the myaor who bound
him over to the Superior Ccart, After
the Indictment was found, the case
was several times postponed hu. final
ly brought to a hearing and Blackley
found guilty by the jury. was sem
fenced to five years imprisonment on
the county roads of Wake.

PARDoNs FOR THE SUFFRAGE.
Criminals Who Have Served Terms
Seek Clemency in Order to Gain
Citizenship.

The desk of Governor Glenn is piled
high with applications for pardon
which have yet been un-acted on.
Since he has taken the office the
Governor has granted but a very few
pardons, and these in minor cases.
Only one (the Holderfield case) has
aroused any hostile criticism and it is
understood that the condition inserted
in that pardon that the prisoner
should leave the county of Wake was
inserted at the request of his wife
and friends, for the reason that they
desired to remove him from the bad
influence of certain companions with
whom he was in the habit of fore
gathering in Raleigh His wife as
sured the Governor of the fact that
she had already secured position
for her husband in another town in
the event of his release and it was
upon these representations, which
were substantiated, that the pardon
was made to read as it did,
Several of the pardons granted by
the Governor have been given to men
whose terms had to all intents and
purposes already expired, the motive
for the request for the clemency of
the executive being not SO much to
secure the actual release from prison
as to preserve to the prisoner the
right of suffrage and citizenship, which
is taken by law from those convicted
of a felony Under the operation of
the law an ex-convict to be restored
to the rights of citizenship has to
go through prescribed course of
probation and q considerably compli-
Gated procedure before the clerk, be-

How New Pilotage Law Works.

Wilmington, N. c.. March IL
When the legislature made Whining

friends said that it would he an awful
thing for the shipping business. and
some said the pilots would charsst
higher pilotage rates than ever before.
For some days now Wilmington has
had no pilotage laws and when a yes

the pilotage laws were repealed. two

port without taking on local pilot

sing with the services of a local pilot
each of these vessels saved 500, which
is a considerable saving for vessels of
this tonnage.

OLD BOARD APPOINTED.
Wilmington Audit and Finance Board
Has Been Named by Governor
Glenn TO Succeed Itself.

Governor Glenn yesterday an
nounced the re-appointment of the
present board of audit and finance for
the city of Wilmington, as the gentle
men composing it had been highly
endorsed and there had been no OPP
position of any determined character
to their being selected for another
term.
The members of the board are as
follows:
Jesse Wilder, S. p McNair, C. w.
Yates H. c. Mcqueen and j. A. Or
rell
The existence of the Wilmington
Board of Audit and Finance is an in
teresting survival of the makeshifts
which were necessary in the days OF
reconstruction and, in more or less
degree, in the years following until
the passage in 1900 of the constitu-
tional amendment removing the ne
groes as a political factor in the State.
When the white party came into power
in 1876 measures which would protect
the negro ridden counties of the State
were imperative and it was for the
purpose of assuring white government
to the city OF Wilmington that the
board was appointed by the Legisla-
ture of that year.
There has never been since it's pass
age any known attempt to secure the
repeal of the act esta blishing the
board, even during the days when
there was a reverSion in the late nine
ties to negro rule in the State which
is good indication that the various
boards which have from time to time
been established have justified the law
under which they We're created by the
wisdom of their acts.

SHOWN THE QUEER
How HartsfieId Broke Up
a Thriving Business.
Sought BY Detectives, He Tarried al
Home Long Enough to Run Off
With Neighbors' Wife, Whom
He is Charged With Killing.

The arrest in North Carolina a few
days ago of William Henry Hartsfield,
formerly of Raleigh, on the charge of
killing a woman in Georgia, again
calls attention to a wild, unruly, but
ever interesting character.
Hartsfield is yet a young man, but
for many years he has lead a life con-
sisting of hide and seek with United
States officers wanting him for either
the manufacture or the passage of
bogus or raised" coin or currency. He
has served more than one term in
Jail or prison, but apparently never
lost his enthusiasm or confidence in
the saving grace of showing the
queer"
About a year ago Hartsfield, al
though he was being eagerly sought
by Government detectives, elected to
return to Raleigh and remained here
for some months. in a State of semi
obscurity, but seen not only by his
old friends, but by many of the citi-
zens of the town as well. It was only
when the officers had an inkling of
his whereabouts and the scent be-
came warm that he departed his ma
tive heath-with the wife of a neigh
Dor. 1t was this woman whom he is
charged with numbering the act for
which he was taken upon requisition
by the officers some time ago.
Hartsfield's career as a counter
feiter seemed to have been born in
him. He started while a boy. making
bad nickles, quarters, halfs and dol
lars out of lead, in ill-fitting plaster
of paris molds 1t was these clumsy
counterfeits which first got him into
trouble, but he learned rapidly. When
he was free again. he scorned the
baser metals and took to raising the
denominations of easily procured and
genuine small bills to figures which
made for a larger purchasing power.
These bills he is said to have passed
in nearly every town in the State with
varying success. There is a story of
Hartsfield and his bill raising in the
town of Louisburg, which will bear
re-telling. He had taken a ten and
made of it a fifty and he sauntered
into a small store and bought with
prodigal extravaganza, everything
from tobacco to suspenders. In pay
ment he flashed the raised bill and the
shop-keeper dug for the money with
which to change it. He ransacked
his drawer, called on his safe and
raised a loan from a neighboring
merchant. And the next morning
when he went to- bank his takings
for the day and was informed of the
loss that he had suffered, he shut up
shop in disgust. A three months re-
ceipts squandered on a young man
with lean face and poverty strick-
en- brown mustache was too much for
trade in the Louisburg of that day
to stand with any measure of equani-
nifty.
But shove the queer as he might
Hartsfield has bulled the game a
notch too far when he INDUCES, as he
is charged with having done, in the
killing of his neighbor,s wife.
Every man should stick to his trade.

COTTON GIN BURNED.
Doubtful as to Whether There Was
Amy Observation-Disclosures Light
Plant Damaged.
Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer
Maxton, March 13.-The Farmers
Cotton Gin located here was destroyed
by fire on Saturday night. The fire
was discovered about o'clock and Its
origin is unknown. Seven bales of cot
ton and a large lot of seed. which We're
in the gin house. were also burned.
1t is uncertain as to whether there is
any insurance but it is thought prob
able that the" policy expired at the
close of the regular ginning season.
But for the fact that it was very wet
and then raining. two other gins near
by would also probably have been
burned. An engine and boiler form
erly used in the operation of the cleo
TIC plant. stationed in the same vicin-
ity, was very much damaged and
some of the main wires leading from
the dynamo were torn down and it was
feared that the town would be in the
dark tonight but the enterprise of the
energetic manager of the light plant
has removed that calamity.
