games at the end ana would generahy

Coach Dashiells again adopted the
policy of running in fresh substitutes

A MAN OF MYSTERY

Especial to News and Observer
High Point, n. C.,-Oets 21. There
died here this afternoon man whose
lifes history is wrapped in mystery.
Five months ago, VIM. Berkley, as he
called himself, came to High Point
from Mebane, where he worked at the
White furniture factory, and engaged
work at the Tate Furniture Company.
Four weeks ago he was taken SICK and
carried to the Junior Order hospital,
where kind friends administered to
his wants He will be buried here to-
morrow afternoon if nothing is heard
from his people. The man is appa-
rently about 35 years of age, five feet
ten inches in height, red hair and
moustache weight normally about l 50
pounds
During his stay here and through
his illness he repeatedly said, Il would
rather be dead than alive" and while
delirious Don't let them get me; they
have found me at last" He always
cluded any questions as to his past,
his people or anything that would give
clue as to himself, and seemed to be
brooding over something that was de-
stroying his vitality.
To an acquaintance he remarked
that West Virginia was his home, and
that at one time ne was engaged 10 oe
married when his betrOthed died. 1t
is purely conjecture as what terrible
thing caused the man to live such a
recluse life.
In the hope that perhaps an old
mother or father or brother or sister,
wife or child of the dead man may see
or learn of this. the account is furn-
ished at the urgent request of the hu-
name people of High Point, who will
give the man a decent burial and pay
the expenses his sickness occaSioned.

A message from Columbus, Polk
county, where Judge w. B. Council is
now holding Superior court, states
that F'rail Durham, the man who
killed Deputy Sheriff Hilton at Tryon
last March, is now being tried for his
life and that the trial is now well un-
der way.
The trial was begun last Thursday
when the selection of jury was be-
gun from a special venire of 125 men.
The venire was exhausted, however,
after only eleven jurors had been
chosen for the State and defendant
as to the manner in which IS more
men should be chosen from which to
select the twenlfth juror. The defend
ant objected to the sheriff summon
ing the men at random from the by
ISLANDERS on the ground that the man
who was killed was the shNff's
deputy So Judge Council ordered all
the men whose names had been called
before all the witnesses i'm the case,
and all the relatives of the parties
and all the men from tryOnw wdwd
and all the men from Tryon township
to retire from the court room./ Twen-
ty-five men were then summoned from
the by-standens and the work OF
selecting the last juror was commenc-
ed. The last man of the 25 was ac-
cepted.
This case is one of life and death,
and a great legal battle is expected.
The case will probably not be conclud-
ed until the middel of next week.

HEAVY TRAVEL TO YOSEMITE
Roads Offering Usual Inducements to

Ideal weather and roads in perfect
condition in the Yosemite valley have
made possible the opening of the park
this year at an earlier date than usual
and last night the first Los Angeles
narty of the season left Los Angeles
over the Southern Pacific fer Wawona,
from where an entrance to the park is
made by stage coach.
Both the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe railroads are offering their
usual special facilities for reaching the
mark and the officials of both systems
predict that the seasons tourist travel
to the valley will far exceed that of lny
previous year.
From Los Angeles the Southern Pa
cific is running a special car on Mof-
DAYS, Wednesdays and Fridays of each

is put on a siding on reaching Ray
mond, from where the journey to Wa
wona. thence to the park, is made by
stage coach.
At Wawona but four inches of snow
fell during the winter, while in the
mountains surrounding the Yosemite
valley the fall of snow was unusually
heavy. This insures large amount of
water for the falls, which are expected
to retain their beauty until far into the
summer.

LOCAL EXPERT TO
STUDY GARBAGE
RoDERlCK MKAY TO INSPECT
EASTERN PLANTS
Council Adopts Recommendation Of
Three Organizations Naming
Man to Tour Eastern
Cities

Hoderick Mckay, well known local
mechanical engineer, has been named
by the chamber of commerce, the Mu-
nicipal league and the Merchants and
Manufacturers association as their
choice to go east and investigate sys-
TENS of garbage destruction there in
operation for the city of Los Angeles
and to report the result of his investi-
cations to the council on his return.
At last weeks meeting of the coun-
Gil q resolution was passed determin-
ing the fact that the city would send
a man east to investigate such sys-
TENS and asking three organizations to
name the man. The recommendation
naming Mckay was unanimously
adopted by the council and definite
action on he subject was deferred for
one week.
Roderick Mckay, who lives at 922
East Twelfth street, was much sur
prised to hear of his selection last
night, saying that he had heard moth
ing concerning the case. He was
highly recommended to the three mu-
nicipal bodies by Superintendent of
the Water Department Mulholland and
many other engineers. He has been a
resident of Los Angeles for nearly
seventeen years and is now engaged
in business as a structural contractor.
For thirteen years he was the struc-
tural engineer of the Los Angeles
Lighting company, and all of the en-
largements and Improvements put in
by the company during that time have
been under his direction.
C. d. Willard expects to leave for the
east on a business trip in week or so,
and ne said yesterday that if he had
the opportunity he would investigate
methods of garbage destruction en-
ployed in the cities he visits, in order
that he may report to the Municipal
league and also give the council what
ever portion of his findings they may
desire.
Rudolph Herring of New York, who
is an engineer of high standing and
who for many years has made a
speciality of the subject of garbage de-
struction, is expected to arrive in Los
Angeles within the next few days, and
it is planned to have him meet with
the garbage committee of the council
and give such facts as the members
may desire, and also any other infor-
nation that in his opinion bears on
the local case.
