TAR HEEL GIRL ARRESTED.
Sixteen Years Old and Charged with
Murder and Robbery.

Raleigh, n. c., October 24.-The
sheriff OF Caldwell county has taken
to Jail at Lenoir 16-year-old girl,
Maggie Lewis, who is charged with
being implicated in highway rob-
berry and murder in that county
last spring. For this crime two men
were tried last summer at Leucir,
were convicted, and were sentenced
ach to twenty years in the peniten-
tiary.
1t is now claimed that the Lewis
girl has made q confession to some
friends and perhaps to a. number of
her family that she was concerned in
the double crime, and that she got
part Of the money. She was found
in Asheville. 1t turns out that she
had been there about a month, and
with two companions, giving the
names of Mary Rogers and Vance
Moody, had been arrested and sent
to the house Of correction, which is
In the suburbs of Asheville.
Night before last these three girls,
the youngest Of whom is Mary Rog-
ers, who is barely IL years of age,
and who Is particularly attractive,
made a most daring escape from an
upper story Of the building by max
Ing a rope of blankets, letting them
selves down the rope, hand over
hand, forty feet. Their escape was
not known until yesterday at day
light, and the police made a pursuit
and found the girls near the Wander
bilt estate, hidden in a house. AS
they were returning to the police sta
tfon with their prisoners, the sheriff
Of Caldwell county came into Ashe-
Vile, saying he wanted Maggie Lewis
for robbery and murder.
He had a photograph and a de-
scription and this fitted precisely the
girl who was passing under the name
at Asheville of Birdie Triplett. She
was turned over to the sheriff and
has been fully identified at Lenoir as
the woman in the case.
Her character Is extremely bad in
every way. She now refuses to say
word regarding herself, except a
denial that she had admitted COM
piicity II the crime. She will be
tried at the November term of court.

FIRST RUN OVER
 AND THEN SCOLDED
BOY FALLS FROM WAGON, THE WHEELS PASS OVER HIM AND FATHER GETS MAD AT SONS CARELESSNESS.

Lost his balance, fell out of the wagon between the front and rear wheels to the hard pavement, then the rear wheels of the heavily loaded wagon passed over his small, tender legs, after which he received jerking and scolding from his father for being so careless, was the bad luck which overlook little Herbert Williams, a small boy about years of age last night
 He was riding in the body of a well loaded spring wagon which was being driven down Second avenue by his father, who sat upon the seat. Williams drove on several yards after the little fel- low had fallen out before his attention was called to 1t by the calls of passers- by. The boy was unable to move and several persons had gone to his assistance. His father jumped off the wagon, ran back and jerlSed the little fellow up and began seolding him. One of the men who had run to the boy jumped on Williams and took the boy away from his. No bones were broken and the little fellow insisted on getting back into the wagon. His father drove on with all sorts of abusive remarks from the crowd which has collected ringing in his ears.

INJUNCTION GRANTED.
constitutionaIity of Georgia Franc hise
 Tax Act Is To Be Tested,

Atlanta, November 16.-On applica- tion of the Western Union Telegraph company, Judge Newman in the United States circuit court today granted a rule nisi enjoining Comptroller General Wright of Georgia from taking any steps toward the collection of any franchise taxes from the Western Union company, and set the case for hearing November 27.
 The complaint alleges that the tele- graph company operated in Georgia by virtue of the post roads act of Con- gross, the government guaranteeing to the company the right to operate tele- graph lines in and through the various states without improper interference It is alleged that the company has rendered all taxes, but the comptroller general insists upon additional taxes upon the franchise conferred by act of Congress under which the company operates in Georgia.
 The bill attacks the constitutionality of the entire franchise tax act passed by the legislature in 1902, and asks that 1t be declared null and void.

MEMOR| AL HELD
 FOR CUNNINGHAM Many Pay Tribute to His
 Character RESOLUTIONS ON RECORD Men Well Known In the Educational World Tell of Valuable Work and the Beautiful Life of the
 Late Principal.
RESOLUTIONS ON RECORD

A memorial meeting for the late Prof. J. B. Cunningham was held yesterday morning at the Birmingham High school. The meeting was largely attended and there were present teachers, not only from Birmingham and Jefferson county but from more distant points over the state The meeting was very tender and feeling memorial to the beloved prin- cipal.
 pr. j. H. Phillips called the meeting to order in the High school auditorium at 9:30 o'clock. There were number of the city and county teachers present, and among those who came from the distance were Dr. Patrick, president Of the Jud- son Institute at Marion; Professor Strip lin, superintendent of the public schools of Gadsden, and Professor DuBose from the University of Alabama.
 Among others pr. J. H. Phillips, su perintendent of the city schools; Dr. Samuel Ullman, ex-president of the board of education; Prof. l. w. McAdory, county superintendent c; education; Prof. H. P. Burrus, Prof. c. A. Brown, Prof. c. E. Glenn, Prof. T. c. Young, E. S.
  Thornton and Mrs. M N Dabney were present.
 All made short, but feeling addresses, expressive of the value of Professor Cum ningham to the educational interests, not only of the city, but of the state and the entire south. Phases of his char acter which contributed largely to his influence were emphasized by the speak CTS.
 Dr. Phillips, in his address, spoke feel ingly of the loss of his friend and CO., worker. Having labored together for 21 years in the service of the schools of Birmingham" he said, "a friendship had been cemented which exists between few men. His life presents a valuable lesson to the young. Boys and young men gen orally idolize greatness but by great ness they mean that which is dramatic and spectacular There was nothing dramatic in the life of Professor Cunningham. He achieved greatness by doing well each duty as 1t came to him day by day. This is real greatness, which is the re- suit of character formed in obedi- ence to duty"
 The other addresses were equally as tender and appreciative, and all sang the praiseworthy qualities of the late prin- cipal.
 The following resolutions were drawn up and adopted at the meeting:
 Whereas, God in His Providence has taken from his earthly labors our be- loved companion, teacher and friend. James Benjamin Cunningham.
 Therefore, be 1t resolved by the teach CTS of the Birmingham public schools:
 T. That while we accept with resig- nation this ruling of Providence, we de- plore in common with all his friends the untimely death of this cultured, cour- teous and kind-hearted man.
 ''2. That in the death of Professor Cum ningham the cause of education has sus- tained the loss of one of the most gifted and thoroughly equipped educators in our state, one who by long and careful prep aration and extended practice had come to be an accomplished scholar, skilled

YELLOW PINE MEN
 HAVE CONFIDENCE
RESOLUTIONS EXPRESS CoNFl- DENcE IN FINANCIAL lNSTlTU- TONS AND PLEDGE THEM SELVES TO ASSIST THEM.

At meeting of the Yellow Pine Mapu- lecturers association, of which John L. Kaul of this city is president, which was held in Memphis on last Thursday, manu- facturers from Il of the southern states assembled to consider the existing con- ditions over the country, and especially the conditions in the yellow pine pusi- ness. The meeting was well attended and business of general interest to the lumber manufacturers of the south was considered.
 Among other things discussion of the financial situation was taken up and upon instructions the committee on resolutions reported as follows:
 Whereas, this county is now under going @ financial panic which has un- settled business conditions, and.
 "Whereas. the banking and financial in- terests have acted most wisely in car ing for the situation and protecting the business public, now
 Be 1t therefore resolved by the Yel- low Pine Manufacturers, in meeting as- sembled at Memphis, Tenn, That they affirm their confidence in our financial in stitutons and pledge themselves to CO., operate in every way with the hnanciai interests to preserve the soundness Of our institutions.
 Be 1t further resolved, That as com plete shutdown of the milling interests of the south would work 6 serious hard ship on the laborng man,
 We recommend that the manufactur- CTS endeavor to operate their plants to such an extent as will provide employees with the necessities or fife. but not to such an extent as will make It necessary for further drain on our financial institu- tiOnS"

master in his chosen profession, and an authority in his special field of labor.
 3. That we have lost from our number not only scholar but a public spirited, generous citizen, who ever had most lively and intelligent appreciation of all the best interests of the community, civil or religious, local or state. '4. That in his untimely death the teachers have lost comrade whose sunny disposition and many-sided at tainments made him a delightful CO., worker and companion. His genial na- ture, his painstaking industry, his &C., curate scholarship his perfect frankness and his fidelity to duty, his ardent and loyal devotion to his work, constitute an example to which we proudly point the boys and girls of our schools as worthy of their study and emulation.
 "5. That the teachers desire to express to the family of Professor Cunningham a profound sympathy in their great bereavement, and likewise to express to them their own sense of deep personal loss in the death of their friend and CO., laborers in the full flush and promise of his power.
 '6 That copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family and copies furnished to the press of the city and of the state."

TELEPHONES TO FRIENDS

Santa Cruz, Cal, November 16.-(Spe- cial)-Mat. Frank Mclaughlin, republic an politician, and one of the best known men in the state, shot his only daughter, Agnes, through the head today at their beautiful home, Golden Gate villa, and a few minutes later ended his own life with cyanide of potassium Before he swallowed the deadly draught, he tele- phoned the news of his awful deed and equally hss intention to W. T. Jeter, lieutenant governor of California, and when his frightened friends arrived he was already dead, while his daughter lay in a bloody pool on the floor dying
 The tragedy was enacted on the anni- versary of his wife's death, two years ago.
 It was at 11:30 o'clock, with the dying girl lying near him, that Mclaughlin telephoned to Jeter after having written over q dozen short letters of farewell to various friends:
 "I have just killed my daughter. Now I am going to kill myself. Come down to tho Golden Gate villa"
 With these words Maj Frank Me Laughlin announced to his friend the double traBedy then DelnS endcleu al his beautiful Santa Cruz home.
 Jeter notified several acquaintances and a physician and together they hurried out to Golden Gate villa, arriving just in time to find Mclaughlin huddled in chair and breathing his last. The daughter, who lay on the floor with blood streaming from a gaping wound in her left temple, was still living, but uncon- scious.
 Mai Frank Mclaughlin was one of the most widely known republican poll ticians in California and for many years took an active and leading interest in all that was going on in the management of the republican party in this state.
 He lost heavily recently in the pro motion of a power plant in which the greater portion of his fortune was swept away, which caused him to develop the intention to kill himself.

 The great Tecumseh, dressed in a turkey tail fan and a small can of roofing paint, was an aweinspiring spectacle, making his mighty oration against the pale faces that will live as long as McGuffey's Fourth Reader does. But suppose at the time he'd been wearing a pair of pants that bagged at the knees 4until, if you looked at him sideways, he'd appear to be getting ready to jump off the rostrum-would he have made that deathless speech? He would not His remarks would have been confined to . How and asking for plug of tobac- co in the grunt language. Old Spotted Tail would now be prominently con- nected with the Wahoo Indian troupe and doing all his scalping at cut-rate ticket office in Fargo had he but en- Joyed the manifold advantages of s worth of Plymouth Rock paintings in the days of his youth. As it is, he's quite dead, and domesticated Black foot in a set of blue overalls and a golf cap is garnering the alfalfa above his grave for $1.25 day, so that on Satus- day night he may have the money to buy pants for his growing family of little Blackfootsies.
 The red man is now one of us. Hops. He cuts his own hair instead of ours. He has so far accustomed himself to the use of soap as to enjoy eating the scented varieties freely He has worn pointed-toed shoes for so long that he only gives the ancient corn dance of his people when some body steps on his foot. In Oklahoma he is getting ready to vote the demo- cratic ticket and organizing a Sluffy Ruffles contest His favorite tune is ragtime air called Sister Sioux.
 And so the other day when news was brought to me that the Utes had taken the war path I consulted the authorities. From these references I learned that the Utes wore pants, not properly creased, perhaps, and lacking the fashionable braid that is so much seen on seams this fall, but neverthe- less, such as they were. they were pants. So I says to myself that those frightened inhabitants who have fled for refuge to the Carnegie libraries which dot even the loneliest and re. motest sections of our country might just as well go back home and start the cottage organ to playing Shy Ann again.
