President FINLEY Arrested

Asheville. N. O., July 27.-Presi-
dent Finley of the Southern Railway
was arrested here today upon warrant
issued by the state authorities and he
was Immediately released on a writ of
hesbes corpus issued by Judge Pritchard
OF the United States district court.
Another warrant was issued upon the
findings OF the grand jury for the arrest
of o. Q. Wilson, Southern Railway
ticket agent. The action was anticipat-
ed by the railroad officials who knew that
the grand jury was contemplating such
move. President FInley's attorney
were prepared for the mergency and OBJ
tanned the writ of habeas corpus from
the federal court before the warrant was
served.
A policeman went to Finley's tempo
parry headquarters at the Battery Park
Hotel and served the warrant upon him.
AS they we're preparing to leave the
room, deputy United States marshal
appeared upon the scene with the federal
writ and took the prisoner from the
policeman. The arrest Of Mr.. Finley IL
looked upon here as the elimination Of
the troubles between the federal and
State authorities and further develop
ments is awaited with greet interest.

state VS.. Federal Authorities.

Asheville, n. c., July Ex-Governor
Glenn is tired talking compromise to
the North Carolina railroads. If there
is to be clash between the State and
federal authorities he is ready for it
now.
No reply has been received 10 the
governors ultimatum yesterday. He is
acting accordingly on the theory that his
proposition has been rejected and going
bfiskly forward with his campaign re-
gardless alike Of the railroads, the fed
eral judiciary and the possibility of a
fight with the United States government.
Two more Southern Railway agents,
one at Marion and one at Old Fort, have
been indicted for a violation of the rail-
road rate Law. Fresh indictments are
expected next week. President Finley
and other high railroad officials will
probably be among those against whom
true bills will be returned. The rail-
road is preparing to repeat its habeas
corpus tactics and Governor Glenn says
such writ from the United Ststes court
will be virtually disregsrdeI. Should
resistance be continued, however, he
says he will lose no time in getting the
lawmakers together to revoke the trans
portation cOmpauy's charter.

ST. JOseph's Church, where the shrine is
located, saw Mrs. Elizabeth Bodsn, an
old woman who was Injured and

wagon. Relatives who accompanied her
wished to have her taken to the shrine
to test the healing powers of the holy
relic, bone of ST. Ann, brought from
Toronto. The unconscious woman was
carried TO the alter, the lame, blind and
sick making way while the apparently
lfeless body was sprinkled with holy
water and prayers said. In a few minutes
Mrs. Bodsn revived and walked from

shrine. Throughout the day sufferers
deposited canes, crutches, artificial limbs

fetal aid,

WILL GET DIVORCE.

r. Gordon Atchison in Richmond
yesterday pleaded guilty to the charge
Of having forged lunch checks while in
the employ of the American Locomotive
Works and was Immediately sentenced
to serve two years at hard labor in
the peuitentiary. Judge Scott passed
sentence, without the fOrmality OF the
intervention Of jury.
True to her promise, Atchison's wife,
who was formerly Mrs. Nellie Miller,
through her father, w. @. Greenstreet,
at once took steps to secure divorce.
1t is said that there will be no trouble
in securing the separation, the laws OF
Virginia holding that conviction on
felony charge is ground for divorce.
Mrs. Atchison, since the arrest OF
her husband, has been desperately i'll.
She, together with her sister, Mrs.
Maria Stulz, recently figured in SEN
sstional escapade, when they we're dis
covered returning from a three days
trip to Norfolk, where they hsd regis
tered on board the steamer as the
wives of men other than their husbands
Both young women attempted to- COM
nit suicide by leaping over the side Of
the boat when they saw their father
aud husbands waiting for them on the
wharf. E
Atchison, whom Mrs. Miller married
after Miller had divorced her, followed
parties to Norfolk and informed the
husbands OF the whereabouts of their
wives,
