Especial to the ARGUs.)

New York, April 23.-The great Briar
Cliff auto race, over mile course,
started at 5:O7 this morning, and the
course is lined with a quarter of mill
lion Of people,
Sartoris, the Italian car, was the first
starter, and at intervals OF one minute
other cars shot like greyhounds out
into the course amid deafening cheers.
Barney O9dfeld, the famous runner
and victiEn of many auto mtshaps,
grinned as he got away at Sis in car
No. 13.
Starter Wagner got all of the twenty
two cars away in good shape, with no
mishaps at the start, but very soon
there was such a one on the curve,
which is at the turn of the east view
w hen car No. %, Simplex, driven by
William Watson, skidded the mound
and turned somersault, throwing Wat
son and Thomas Cotter, his mechanic,
headlong from the machine. Both are
badly cut about the head and body and
the car is a complete wreck. The turn
is the most dangerous one on the track.
Strong won the race, with Cedrino
second.

construction OF the law, he projects in
to the political arena the most porten-
tous question which has confronted
the American people since the unpar-
alleled usurpations of the RECONSTRUCT
tion era. The right of the states to
manage their domestic affairs without
the interference of the national gov
ernment is boldly challenged. The
states are confronted with the uues-
ton whether they are to remain states
or become provinces. The citizen is
confronted with the question of wheth-
er he is to remain q citizen or become
a subject.
The constitution makers of 1887
lived in mortal fear OF kings. They
created the office of President because
they had to lodge executive power
SO omew here, but they hedged him
a bout with limitations and restraints
and vainly thought they built around
him fence which was mule high. MIG
tight and bull strong But the staid
old constitution builders had never
heard of Teddy, the Terrible They
did not anticipate his coming into the
white house, else they would have
known that no such pent-up utica

The President Is mighty man,
Politically speaking he has become an
almighty man. Bigger than any
body, bigger than every body. He says
to this one, GO and he goeth, and to
that one, do and he doeth it, He SAYS
to the house, pass this law and pass
that law and they say all right Mr..
Roosevelt and they pass it. He says
to the senate pass this law and pass
that law and they say All right, Mr..
Roosevelt and they pass it. He says:
1 don't want to be President third
time, but l want Taft to be President
and they say: All right, Mr. Roose-
welt, Well nominate Mr.. Taft And
we all know, it he shall, at any time
before the convention change his mind
and decide to take this nomination

BISHOP CAPERS DEAD.
Health Had Been Feeble for
Many Months.
His Long Life Largely Identified
With his State and the
COnfederdCy.

Colam bia, S. c., April 22-Bishop
Ellison Capers, of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of South Carolina, died
at his home in this city at 2:3O p. M.

erai days had been sinking gradually.
This morning his physicians announc-
ed that he could not survive the day.
Bishop Caperstwas seventy years OF

national Republican com mitteemanf for
South Carolina.

federate veterans, visiting bishops and
many clergy will act as escort Of honor.

from all parts of the South.
Bishop Capers literally fell asleep.
His expiring ehours were free from
pain.

A PURE FABRICATION.
G0verR0f Glenn Makes Positive Denial
OF a Republican Canard.
Special to the ARGUS.


Raleigh, April 24.-Referring to q
Washington special In the Greensboro
Industrial News, Governor Glenn, on
his return to the city today, said that
Gle, which charges that he would re-
nounoe his declaration not to be can
didate for the United States senate.
II do not believe Mr.. Simmons said
any thing of the kind,' declares the
governor. in his positive denial OF the
story.
The special in question is as follows:
Washington, d. c., April 23.-Gov-
ernor Glenn threatens to renounoe his
'renunciatien Of the senatorship, which
his friends likened to Washington S
Farewell Address,
This news, it is stated today, was
brought here by Senator Simmons, who
talked with the governor while in the
State. Itseems that the governor is mad
because papers friendly to Senator
Overman refused to accept at par his
modest statement that the senatorship
was within his grasp, and that he cast
it aside from reasons purely patriotic.
1.-THE governor indicated that he
might get back in the race and show
these papers thing or two. The chiet
magistrate of the State is also assert
ing that in eliminating himsel from
the senatorship he made all kinds of
enemies. ~ 1858
'He says nearly all of his friends are
mad with him, and that he may sur
prise the people of the State after the
prohibition election In over"

The Kind OF Democrat That
the Party Needs and The
Emergency Demands.
Senator Simmons Speaks Boldly and
Truly as to The Kind OF Demo-
efdt we Should Nominate This
Year For President.

In the recent New York banquet of
Democrats Senator F. NJ. Simmons OF
this State-he who has done so much
rejecting credit upon the statesman
ship OF the South in the United States
Senate, was one of the speakers, and
he was appointed to reply to the toast,
THE White House and the Demo-
cracy," and he said in part:
IF you ask what sort of a democrat
we should nominate tor President, my
answer would be, we should nominate e
a democrat who can say in truth and
fact l am democrat; democrat and
qualification, explanation or apollo
gies.' 1t boots not what his name,
nor from what state or section he halls
SO he can restore harmony in the dem
ocratic party, reunite its divided ele-
ments and with it's forces marshaled
in solid phalanx confront the cohorts
of republicanism.
1.-THE situation calls for bold and
unequivocal enunciation OF the princi-
Piles and policies for which the party
| stands and invokes the support of the
people.
1.-The tariff question, the financial
question, the trust question and the
railroad questions are all questions of
high Importance and will doubtless
play a conspicuous part in the cam

the centralization of power which has
been thrust to the forefront by the
startling aggressiveness of recent leg

States demands an enlargement OF
federal powers, not by way of con-
stitutional amend dment but through
executive action through legislation,

Last night about 10 o'clock, Howard

sooner had he gotten to his room than
he opened fire on his wife with . big
army revolver, the balls piercing her
body through and through. and from
which she now lies in a most distress

for her recovery.
No sooner had the firing begun tn an
her father rushed to the scenes but SO
uapidly was the pistol discharged that
three shots had been fred before he
reached the room and the pistol was

ig Eabbed the weapon just as the ham

hall, near by, round the corner, and
delivered him to the police and he is

Mrs. Balm, who had retired, with

CARDINAL LOGlJE COMING.
He will Be the Central Figure OF a
Notable Assembly.
Especial to HE ARGUs.1

New York, April 23.-Catholics OF
New York and vicinity, and especially
the Irish element Of that faith, are pre-
pairing a great reception in honor OF
Cardinal Logue, the head, of the Catho-
lie church in ireland, who is due to ar
rive here tomorrow. Cardinal Logue
is coming to attend the great celebra-
the, centennial of the archdiocese OF
New York. He will be the central
figure of notable Eassembly of pre-
lates that will include .arehbishops,
bishops and priests from many parts
of the United States and Canada.
His Eminence Cardinal Michael
Logue, Arch bishop of Arm agh, has
been Primate of all Ireland since 1887,
prior to which time he had been cOad-
jutor to the late kPrim ate. Cardinal
Logue is man OF great leSrning and
is renowned for his piety- He does
not mix in Irish politics, but takes an
interest in thes country's welfare and
knows how to make his influence felt
when he deems git necessary for the
public good. ii His almost boundless
influence among the Irish people was
recently illustrated in a striking man
ner. He objected to the policy OF ONE
of the Sim Fein party organs which
editorially spoke in favor of forcing
the priests out of politics. Cardinal
Logue denounced the paper, and his
mere denunciation was sufficient to
drive the papers readers away to such
an extent that it was found no longer
profitable to run it.
Since announcement was made that
Cardinal Logue was to come to this
country he has. eceived many invita-
tions to visit Philadelphia, Chicago,
Baltimore and other cities. His Emil
nence, however, is man ofmuch work
and little play, and cares little tor
travelling or holiday making. It is
therefore very doubtful if he will ex-
tend his American visit beyond this
city, especially as heawili have an op-
portunity of meeting here Cardinal
Gibbons, Mgr. Falconio and other
eminent churchmen whom he might
desire to visit.
