In addition to the militia. armed depu-
ties and police reserves are on duty. All
the hardware stores, pawnshOps and es.
adjustments where ammunition and fire.
arms are kept are closely guarded by
police.
It cannot be stated when the troops
will be removed, az the excitement In
the nefghborhood Is intense. All day yes
terday the factory operatives In the half
dozen mill towns In the vicinity gathered
In the streets in groups. Much incen-
diary talk was INDUCED in.
Warrants were sworn out yesterday by
Sheriff Nichols against many alleged
leaders Of Saturday nights mob. Ten

PRESIDENT APPlluDs PEACE
IN SYMPATHY WITH MOTIVES
OF NORTH CARoLINIANA
His Views Regarding Greater ArmA
ment Read at Greensboro
Centennial.

GREENSBORO. n. C., October 1.-THE
North Carolina peace congress opened to-
day in the great auditorium and in the
presence OF a large audience assembled
for the Greensboro centennial and the
peace congress.
At the opening Of the session the fol-
lowing message from President Roose-
welt was read:
# wish could be present at your con-
gress. AS It is not possible. may I ask
the assurance Of my hearty sympathy and
my hope for q successful meeting?
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
In connection with this letter there was
read to the conference remarks Of the
President made to delegation which
called upon him to ask his attendance.
follows:
IL am glad TO learn that the North
Carolina Peace Society has declared itself
In favor OF adequate armament as well
as effective arbitration. There Is no in
consistency in advocating both OF these
things at the present time. On the con-
| tfary. those who have the public welfare
at heart fail in the performance Of q
part of their duty II they neglect to labor
The growth Of the acceptance of the
principle OF international arbitration is
necessarily SLOW. We should do all We
can to hasten 1t. 1t is well to remember
that the acceptance of this principle in
any measure whatever depends exclu-
siveIy upon the effective support it re-
ceives from the half dozen powers Of
great warlike strength.
"As things actually are at the present
day. we are helpless to further the cause
OF peace and OF effective international
arbitration unless to just and peace
able Intentions we add a stout heart and
a strong arm. And this means military
and naval preparedness to a far greater
degree than Is at present the case"

FREIGHT TRADE IMPROVES.
Sc, tbs Idle Cars Put Into Servic,
Last Month.

Evidence OF Improvement In trade and
industrial conditions Is furnished by the
report OF the increased rumber of cars
which the railroads have put into service.
The committee on car efficiency Of the
American Railway Association reports
that during September the railroads
brought into use 20. 795 cars which had
previously been Idle. OF this number
l6OI5 were box cars and 1905 were coal
cars and gondOlas.
The improvement was most marked on
the Canadian lines. whera 30 per cent OF
the whole total was made up. 1t was
explained that this was due to the in
creased movement of grain from western
Canadian points In the United States
the Increased cars placed in service were
largest in the eastern. middle and south
ern sections.
The bringing into use OF this additional
supply reduces the whole number OF idle
ears in this country and Canada, Of all
descriptions to 1852. At the same
ratio OF increase transportation officials
confidently predict that there will be use
for the entire equipment by the end OF
the year.

Number Of Examinations for Certain
Institutions to Be Increased.

Controller of the Currency Murray has
decided to Increase the number Of national
bank examinations. In many cases. from
twice to three or four times a year. 1t
national banks four or even three times a
year. but the new rule will be made to
apply to all national banks that have in
the past shown a disposition to violate or
evade any of the provisions of the ma
tional banking laws or the regulations
prescribed by the controller of the cur
rency.
1t is stated that a considerable number
of national banks have heretofore seemed
to regard violations Of some Of the i'm
portant provisions of the national bank
ing laws as matters of small conse-
quence and have treated the orders of the
controller on the subject with apparent
indifference. Practically the only remedy
in such cases Is to declare the banks
charter forfeited. but this action In nearly
every case would be regarded as entirely
too drastic, considering the character OF
the offense. Nevertheless Controller MUIR
ray says he is fully determined to put q
stop to all such minor violations OF the
law. and as a preliminary step in that d.
rection he will insist upon more frequent
examinations than heretofore. His main
purpose. however, Is to keep In closer
touch with those banks whose manage
ment IL under more or less constant sus-
picion.
Reckless and speculative banking will
be discouraged to the limit Of the con-
troller's ability, and IL a bank exhibits
these characteristics IL will be watched
with the closest scrutiny. In such cases
two examinations a year, Mr.. Murray be-
iieves Is not SUFFICIENT.
The new rule is not expected to apply
to the great majority OF national banks
whose conservatism and prudent manage
ment are matters of common knowledge,
but the banker whose integrity Is under
suspicion will be looked after more close
ly than ever before.

WIFE DIED WITH DOOMED NAN
BoUND-ToGETHER BODIES ARE
IDENTIFIED.
Told He Couldn't Live, the Couple
Decide to Commit.
Suicide.

NEW YORK. October 12.-With the
Identification yesterday Of the man and
woman drowned at Old Mill creek, Jamai.
ca bay, while bound together with wire,
story Of rare devotion which did not
falter even at death was revealed.
The bodies were identified as those Of
Michael Baues. fortytwo years old, and
his wife, Bertha. who was seven years
younger. Mrs. Bates had lived since July
with Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin r. Clark OF 512
East gath street. Flatbush. as a servant.
Clark. a lawyer. went to Ozone Park
yesterday. He and Henry Baues Of 4S6
Prospect avenue, Brooklyn. a brother Of
the dead man, positively identified botf,
bodies. This is the story Of the events
which led up to the suicide told by Clark
and Henry Baues.
Michael Baues was a prosperous baker
IN MiddletOwn, n. r., until three years
ago. when he became Ill. His wife was
unable to run the business and nurse him,
and so 1t was neglected until it was finally
lost. Meanwhile nearly all their savings
had been spent in the husbands efforts
to regain his health.
The Baueses had three children, whom
they loved devotedly. The family became
and two of the children were sent to an
institution. Relatives cared for the third.
A year ago Baues and his wife came to
this city. They we're WITHOUT money, ex-
cept for the little the wife could earn In
the times when she was not caring for
her husband. Baues' brother helped them
all he could, but his means were limited.
Last July Baues was taken to a hos
pital In this city for an operation. He
had nervous disorder which the sur
geons hoped might be cured by an o,sra-
ton upon the spine. His wife obtained
work with the Clarks in Flatbush as a
servant. The money she thus made was
devoted to the care Of her husband.
The operation was only partially sue
cessful. Baues was discharged a month
ago. and went to his brothers home his
wife continuing to work for Mrs. Clark
Last Thursday Baues saw q physician,
who told him lie could live only short
time. He met his wife that day. They
We're never seen alive again by their
friends.
1t is believed they spent the night at
some hotel and then went to the bay.
They were seen in earnest conversation
there by Mrs. William Reich, wife of a
hotel keeper of Old Mill.
at is evident said Clark yesterday,
who took deep interest In the couple,
that they talked the situation over and,
as the husband had to go soon, decided to
die together. My attention was called to
the stories in the papers by Henry Baues,
the dead mans brother

SCHOOL TEACHERS PAID.

The public school teachers were paid
their September salaries today. The
payment was somewhat later than usual
on account of q delay in preparing the
pay roll. but by combining their respec-
tive forces and working them late Satur-
day night and yesterday the auditor and
disbursing officer of the District were
able to audit the big account and sign the
thousand checks.
The employees Of the auditors ONCE ex-
perienced considerable difficulty In their
work on account Of many errors in the
roll 1t required much time to straight
en-" these mistakes.
The ofilcials Of the auditors ONCE said
that the errors must have been due to the
haste in preparing the roll.
