WOMAN 5 CONTEST
Miss EIvena Hoover, '0S, Wins
Highest Honors in The Con.
test Of Last Week.

The first annual woman's OTatorical
contest in Alma College was held last
Friday evening in the chapel Al
though the night chosen was the one
usually given over 10 recreation, and
though the audience was rather small,
expenses were more than covered.
The general merit of the contest de-
nerves great conmendation. Each ora
tion was interesting and well deliv-
cred, not one of the speakers failing
to make herself understood. The aud
fence greeted each number with hearty
and sincere applause. The young
women deserve the greatest credit for
the work they did in preparing and
speaking their orations. Next year 1t
will he but natural TO expect better
contest since this one Will awaken
great enthusiasm. and also give val
uable information as 70 what oratori-
cal contests really mean.
Miss Elvena Hoover carried OF first
honors, Miss Hazel Fraser second, and
Miss Tanner third The first oration
was delivered by Miss Pearl Huber,
who spoke on the life OF Burns and
discussed the power of mis- poetry.
Her deliver was clear and natural and
she showed great self command. Miss
Lille Fellows followed with a well writ
ten and sympathetic character sketch
of Francis f. Willard. Her delivery
lacked in ease, hut was not stitf nor
forced, while at times her thought was
presented with great vividness Miss
Hoover came next with splendidly
written Grafton on O'Connell, the Ora
tor. The production was well bal
anced. coherent. clearcut and eloquent
fully meriting the three hrsts in COM
position which it received. Miss
Hoover's delivery while full of fire
and dignity lacked the ease which
longer practice will develope Miss

LAWSON Purdy. Of New York, and
E. A. Moffatt Talk Before
Con. Convention

Lansing. Mich. Dec lS.-Street
railways and other public service cor
porations that are opposed to muni
cipal ownership had for a speaker be-
fore the constitutional convention last
night Il. A. Moffatt OF New York city.
Mr. Moffatt was secretary OF the COM

When the Metropolitan Traction
company Of New York went into the
hands of a receiver, several months
ago, IL came out in the court proceed

hated by high Wall street inanciers,
and though it was not a municipality
owned or operated property, il had
charged up s120,0O0 for the expense
Of the committee to make An Euro

report was unfavorable 10 municipal

Mr.. MoiIatt quoted to the conven-
ton largely from the report OF the

critics the committee Investigated,
but declared there must he a higher
civic spirit in American municipal
tiles before they could do even as
well with municipality owned prop

Talks on Taxation.
The convention at the conclusion OF
Tuesday afternoons session. listened
10 very interesting three-quarter
hours address on taxation by Lawson
Purdy. president OF the municipal tax
commission Of New York city. Mr.
Purdy told the convention that the
taxation OF mortgages and other evi-
dences Of credits is not only unjusi
but detrimental TO prosperity, and that
many states have already recognized
this by exempting credits from any
kind Of taxation.
The uniform system OF taxation idea
is another that he condemned. While

DEATH OF REV. STEPHEN DAVIS.
The Faithful Pastor Of the Christian
Church at This Place Victim of
Pneumonia.

On yesterday, Wednesday, afternoon
at three O'Clock Rev. Stephen Davis.
pastor of the Christian church at Taze-
well, died, after an illness of about ten
days, at the residence of Mr.. T. Blair
Hankins. The news of his serious ill
ness had been heard of with profound
regret by his many friends in town.
and his death brought sincere grief to
many hearts.
The deceased came to Tazewell less
than two years ago and entered upon
his first pastorate work here. His zeal
and devotion to the noble work to which
he had given his life won the sympathy
and love of all those with whom he be-
came intimately associated and the
respect of all who knew him. He was
born at Bently, ILL.,, on October 9th.
1878, and he was, therefore, a few
months over thirty-one years old when
death came to remove him from the
great work for which he had given ten
years of preparation in his early man.

RES
CUE 3 WOMEN
Found Lying Among COrpSeS on Steam
er Berlin, PamiShed and stiff
With Cold Scream and
Cry PiteouSly.

Hook of Holland, Holland, Feb. 23.-
Early today the three remaining survi-
vors were taken off the wreck of the
British steamer Berlin by the same life
boat crew which has done such splendid
work during the past forty-eight hours.
All three are women, Frau Weintber-
CHER, her sixteen-year-old nurse girl,
Nina Ripley and Fraulein Theile.
This makes the number of saved fif-
teen out of the l4S who were on board
the vessel.
The last survivors of the wreck arriv-
ed at the Hook of Holland at 8 O'Clock
this morning.
LIFssAvERs TELL OF RESCUE.
In an interview after the rescue of the
three women, Spelling spoke in
modest terms of his exploit. He said:
"The women We're lying there alive.
We could not abandon them without a
further attempt to get them ashore.
"As we nearer the wreck the seas
were still high, washing three or four
feet over the breakwaters. Myself, my
nephews and another man jumped on
the raft and took her alongside the bea-
con light.
u succeeded in reaching the break
water, to which moored the raft with
a rope. From the breakwater we climb
ed on board the remnant of the Berlin
and fond the three women huddled un-
der the hurricane deck, surrounded by
ten or twelve corpses.
In PITIABLE PLIGHT.
''The women were in a pitiable plight
screaming and crying hysterieally as
they elung to us, beseeching US not to
desert them. They were famishing and
stiff with cold; their clothing was soak
ed with icy water, and they were unable
to walk.
"The nurse, Fraulein Ripley, insisted
that her companions should be first saw
ed before she was removed from the
wreck, so l carried Fraulein Thiel to the
side, fastened her into rope cradle and
lowered her upon the raft.
Frau Weintberger was next taken
off. She was in a pitiful distress, ~ sep-
ing for her husband and child, who were
drowned.
Finally Fraulein Ripley, who was
able to walk with assistance, was placed
on the craft, which was hauled along
side the wreck.

PRELIMINARY TRIAL
IS CONCLUDED
carson Gregory and James COthin,
Suspected Of Being Connected
With the Death of T. E.
George, are DiSCharS-
ed by Trial
Justice

No trial has ever excited as much in
terest in Tazewell as that of Carson
Gregory and James Cothin, who were
arrested some three weeks ago upon a
charge of having been connected with
the mysterious death of the late T. E.
George.
According to the agreement made a
week previous, the trial was begun on
last Saturday the 2srd inst. Common
wealth's Attorney T. C. Bowen, assist
ed by R. R. Henry A. P. Gillespie and
Barnes Gillespie, Represented the Com
monwealth, while the prisoners had for
their counsel Judge R. C. MeClaugherty
and Mr.. York Coleman, of Rluefield.
The trial occupied three days, that is
Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. \
A number of witnesses were intro
duced by the Commonwealth. for the
purpose of not only proving the corpus.
delicti, but to show that the murder
theory was the correct one and thfl
the prisoners, by their proximity to = I
scene of the tragedy and their subsS
quent conduct, were connected in SON
way with the murder. Nearly the en-
tire three days were consumed in the
examination of these witnesses; and
not until Tuesday afternoon were any
witnesses placed upon the stand by the
defense.
After introducing three witnesses,
Judge McClaugherty announced that
they rested their case. The counsel for
the Commonwealth were disposed to ar
que the case but, when the justice an
nounced that he would not give each
side but one hour, those representing
the prosecution concluded that they
could not argue it properly in that time;
and it was agreed that the court should
take and decide the case without argu-
ment. H. G. Peery, who was the trial
justice, promptly decided that enough
evidence had not been presented to war
rant him in holding and sending the ac-
cused on for indictment by grand jury.
In giving his opinion in the case the
justice took occasion to say that moth
ing had been developed by the hearing
he supposed to change the opinion of
those who had held opposite views as to
suicide or murder; but we are of the
opinion that while, perhaps, enough
was not shown to alter the views of
those who had believed in suicide, the
evidence was sufficient to greatly
strengthen the convictions OF those
who believe that Mr.. George was foully
murdered. For the present the case
remains one of the most mysterious
that has been known in this country,
but time, no doubt, will furnish sOlu-
tion.
