The North Carolina rate war hinges on
the question whether the Federal Court
has the right to interfere with the en-
forcement Of a newly-enacted State law
limiting railroad passenger rates TO 2l4
cents a mile.
United States District Judge Pritchard
answers in the affirmative. He says the
law is unconstitutional, and seeks 10 pre-
vent the State from punishing the rail-
road officials who violated it.
He bases his opinion on the contention
that 2A-cent rate Is so low as 10 COM
pei the railroads to carry passengers at
a loss, and that this amounts TO conhsca-
ton OF railroad property without due
process Of law, which violates the Fed
eral Constitution.
Deny Pritehard's JurisdictiOn.
Judge Pritchard's ruling was made on
an appeal by the Southern Railway from
the State courts TO his tribunal-an ap-
peal which the State officials claim is un-
warranted.
The Atlantic Coast Line. which also
does business in the State, has complied
with the new law.
Hostilities broke out when the State
officials caused the arrest Of District Pas
senger Agent Wood and Ticket Agent
Wilson. OF the Southern Railways Ashe-
Vile staff, on charges of continuing the
sale OF tickets at a rate iE excess Of If
cents mile after the new statute became
effective. Police Judge Reynolds found
The two men guilty ard sentenced them
20 thirty days each in the chain gang.
simultaneously with the criminal pro-
ceedings actions were begun also in the
State courts to punish the railroad cor
p0ration for permitting its employees to
break the law. Ia this case a $4,000 fine
wrs imposed.
Ignore High state Courts.
Instead Of taking the cases to the higher
State courts, the railroad went to Federal
Judge Pritchard. The latter released the
two railroad men or Eabeas corpus pro-
ceedings. and tied up payment Of the
fine by declaring the law imperative.
Though the State delayed until yes .er-
day, when Wilson was rearrested, 10 en-
force execution Of its sentence in either
the individual or corporation cases, the
state officials announced that they would
tolerate no interference by Judge Pritch-
AiNf "tt4 iitNliNTN 10 80 On Win LAelF
prosecutions
Judge Reynolds supplemented this an
nouncement with the threat TO send Judge
Pr.teh7rd 70 Jail if the latter interfered
again with the Police Court affairs.
Judge Pritchard replied that Judge Rey-
n0lds might SO on with his prosecutions
II he choose, but that such action would
be followed by his commitment TO jail for
contempt Of the Federal Court
Governor Threatens Force.
Gov. Glenn came TO Judge Reynolds
rescue with the declaration that he would
call out the militia rather than see the
state laws set at naught. Judge Pritch-
ard answered that he IN turn. would ap-
peal TO President Roosevelt Tor Federal
troops 10 protect him and 10 carry out the
orders OF his court. II such support be-
came necessary.
Efforts 20 secure a compromise have
thus far delayed definite action by either
side until yesterday

BEYERIDGE PLANS MYSTIFY
Not Communicative with Berlin
Press Regarding Wedding.
American Senator May Change Pro-
gramme and Go to Paris or Lon
don to Marry.

/ Berlin, July IA good deal Of what
/ seems unnecessary mystery is being made
/ over the arrangements for the wedding OF
Senator Beveridge and Miss Eddy. and
;here is much difficulty in locating the
/ parties
! Even now it is by no means certain that
the ceremony will take place in Berlin.
though such is the programme according
to the announcement of the Eddy family.
Still, up to the present, nothing more re-
garding the idea has been heard by those
here most interested in the affair.
1t is supposed the original plan has
been changed and that the ceremony viii
be held in another capital. London. per-
haps. or Paris Such marriage we're
once solemnized at the American en-
bassy here but the practice has fallen
into disuse because OF its questionable
legality, according to the German law.
If the knot is really tied in Berlin, il
will probably not be DONE as originally
intended. by the English chaplain. but by
Chaplain Hawkins, of Dresden.
Congressman Bartholdt, of ST. Louis.
who has run over from The Hague to
have talk with the Berlin authorities.
Is highly pleased with the disposition Of
Germany's official representatives to lis
ten TO him on the subject under discus
sion. From the way the Congressman
speaks, one would almost think that the
Kaiser Is willing to join the nations in a
pledge not to go 10 war with any one
for Il period OF thousands of years.
Mr. BarthOldt speaks gratefully of the
encouragement given by President Roose-
welt to his efforts for international ar
biraton and those of the 22O members of
Congress who belong 10 the inter-parlia
mentary peace union. The next annual
meeting OF the Union, Mr.. Bartholdt saws
viii be held in Berlin.

On the return trip the steamer was
travelling between Lavanne and Farley 5
Point when one of the passengers noticed
smoke coming from the neighborhood of
the smckestack. That is the most au-
thentic account of the origin Of the fire.
although some Of the excited passengers
declare that one of the boilers exploded
a strong south wind was blowing at the
time and it swept across the ship, driving
the flames before it with great fury. Soon
the entire stern was a mass of flames.
The frightened passengers rushed to the
bow of the boat, while Capt. Brown
and the members of the crew tried 10
calm them and get them In the lifeboats
Many of them refused 10 enter the fraii
craft because OF high rough water and
high waves, which the wind had stirred
up, and the crew was compelled 10 use
force 20 get them there Many We're
saved that way
Too Frightened 10 Move.
Realizing that the ship could not be
saved. Pilot Al Smith turned toward the
shore. Capt Brown manager of the com
pany. rushed among the passengers and
urged them TO put on life-preserveIs and
be ready 90 jump. Some of them were
TOO frightened 70 move. and Capt. Smith
fastened the life-preservers about their
bodies.
When near shore the flames had spread
into an parts of the vessel, and there WAS
nothing for the passengers TO do bat
jump. Most Of those who are dead lost
their lives I'm the water, although two Of
the children are known to have been
burned Motor boats and crafts OF all
kinds rushed to the scene and aided in
the work of rescue.
A relief train was sent out by the Le-
high Valley from Auburn loaded down
with hospital supplies, nurses, and doc
tors. As soon as il arrived the work Of
rescue began in earnest.
The Frontenac was built IN 1866. She
was repaired this summer, and her value

 It now seemed quite natural to turn to Lizzle, as a right-viewed person. for news and for assistance. Indeed. as Lady Vincent had always thought. 1t was the natural duty of any one prfvi- legged to enjoy the society of Jack to take the strongest interest in his well fare. She spoke of him to Lizzie with out the least reserye--as to another matron full of years; almost as | if Lizzie had been relative of the fami- ly. some old aunt of Jack, lost sight of for long time but now again brought back to the family circle.

OPENS JAIL DOOR THREE
 HUNDRED TIMES A DAY
Removal Into New Ofiice Will Be Well
 comed by Jaiiers for Many Reasons

Without doubt, the man who will be the happiest when the new portion of the jail is finished. and occupied will be Jailer Pettus. Everybody con- nected with the jail of course, will be glad, but MT. Pettus probably has more reason to want to get in than anyone else.
 The reason of this is that the portion of the jail now used as an office is really a part of the section for pris- oners alone, consequently it must be kept locked all the time. The door leading to the outside is a heavy steel affair that is opened with difficulty During the day there are many visitors to the jail, most of whom are theue on business, and for each one the door has to be opened. In the last six weeks Mir. Pettus has opened this door on an average of 300 times every day While 1t is also troublesome at night, there are not so many people coming and going and the door does not have to be opened so often.
 That new office where the door Is made of wood and has the proper kind of a lock on it will certainly be treat to me-" said MT. Pettus' -yester- day.

 The party visited the Southern Bell Exchange here yesterday afternoon, and after looking over the plant, ex- pressed tn hemselves as being very Ia vorably impressed with it. AftW go- ing over this property, they were driven to some of the, interesting points in the city. They went to Mo- bile late last night on similar mis- sion.
 Mir. Vail comes to the South for his first trip in the capacity of President of the American Telephone and Tele- . graph Company, although he has been connected with the concern for a num- Der of years. He was closely asso- ciated with Dr. Graham Bell. the in- ventor of the telephone, and as the company grew, MT. Vail went up with it. Some years ago he resigned his position and at that time MT. Fisk was President. About six months ago MT. Fisk resigned and the company called on Mir. Vail to fill his place. It was accepted and Mir.

FEDERATION GIVES AID.
Lamplighters' Grievance to Be Heard
bv Central Labor Union.

Iamplighters Union, No. 1906, held a
meeting in Costello's Hall last night. The
organizer for the American Federation Of
present, and the matter of the discharge of
the members of the organization for the al
legged reason that they had joined union
was taken up. 1t was decided to lay the
matter before the officials of the American
Federation of Labor today, and the organ
izer and the attorney were selected a COM
mittee to do SO.
Mr.. Morrison, secretary Of the American
Federation of Labor, when seen by the COM
mittee, stated that the lamplighters would
be given all possible aid. He will issue in
structions today to general organizers to
organize lamplighters in all the large cities
of the country. The attorney will also take
up the matter with the district attorney
and may ask that action be taken against
the company because Of the alleged fact
that 1t was discharging men because they
had joined labor union.
When shown the denial of the company's
manager. which appeared in a morning pa
per, the organizer stated that 1t was far
from the facts in the case. He said men
were being discharged daily, and that it
was expected thirty men will be dismissed
tonight, the cause being membership in the
union.
The organizer further stated that he re-
Caswell the general manager of the COM
pany, who lives in Baltimore, and the local
office refused to give him the information.
The matter may go to q strike, he said,
after the facts are heard by the Central
Labor Union tonight.
