KILLED WIFE AND SLEW SELF.
Bloody Deed of Georgian at Will
mingtOn, N. G.

Wilmington, N. c., Jan, 31.-Af-
ter shooting down his wife as an act
IF vengeance and killing her instant
ly just as she had left his home on
her way to Sunday school at o'clock
this afternoon, Eddie Mize, who re-
Gently came to this city from Athens,
Ca, turned the weapon upon him
self and sent bullet crashing
through his brain. Mize survived
for short time, dying soon after he
reached the Memorial Hospital.
He Wanted Revenge.
The rash deed was prompted by
bitter vengeance of long duration,
and as a sequel to the tragedy note
written by Mize was found, in which
he accuses his wife with living an
immoral life and with being unwor-
thy Of raising his children.
Mrs. Mize was formerly of this
city, but during the past few years
has been living in Georgia, only re-
turning to her home here a few
months ago. She was a Miss Lands
before marriage, and is survived by
her parents.
Mize came here shortly after
Christmas, and has been working
steadily. He had evidently been
waiting for his wife, all had sta
toned himself near her home, and
as she approached him, he pulled his
pistol and fired, the first shot taking
= effect in the face, and the second and
last entered her back. The first shot
was fatal.
Killed Himself.
without hesitating, he placed the
pistol behind his right ear and fired
one shot into his brain.
The shooting took place near the
corner Of Second and Nun streets, a
fashionable residential part of the
city. The note written by Mize was
placed in the hands of the chief Of
police. 1t follows:
"a woman with the disposi-
n ton that my wife has got is
N not worthy of breathing the
breath Of life. i commit this
act for vengeance, though I
know it is costing me my life.
would not let my baby be
raised up by such woman as
she Is now. Eddie Mize."

DYNAMITE STICK
IN WEST ORANGE
ROAD Run OvEs
And a Wary Constable Carried
1t Carefully to the Town
Hall.

Constable Albert E. Robinson, of the
Orange District Court, appeared at the
West Orange Town Hall yesterday
afternoon gingerly carrying a stick of
dynamite he had just picked up in the
roadway at Valley road, near Main
street, opposite st. Marks Episcopal
Church.
The stick was eight inches long and
an inch and a half in diameter. The
dangerous explosive had just been
passed ver by a carriage which
ground off an end of the stick buy
owing to the soft bed of mud in which
it reposed and the lightness of the
vehicle there vas no explosion.
The dynamite is supposed to have
been dropped from a rig in which il
was being carried to one of the nu-
merous stone quarries on the Orange
Mountain, and when Charles Kocher, a
contractor, volunteered to take care
of it, the police readily surrendered the
explosive.

COLLEGES BATTLE
BEGUN IN COURT
Drake Institution Seeks to En-
join Two Former Employees,

S. STEPHENS'S
TALENTS CAUSE OF WAR
SO Valuable to Former EN-
ployers They Don't Want Them

a legal battle which bids fair to in
volve the budding bookkeepers and
stenographers of the Oranges in a bit
ter wrangle was begun today between
two business colleges of Orange in
Chancery Court.
The Drake Business College is com
plainant. It has been ~aggrieved, ac-
cording to the bill. by Charles A. Lee
Master and Covert S. Stephens, both
former employees, who set UP a rival
shop across the street and "enticed
aN-." pupils from their old employers.
According to the complaint LeMaster
vas discharged and Stephens, who was
slated to succeed him as principal, an
expectedly walked out of his own voli-
ton.
Stephens is alleged to have had a
contract with the complainant under
which he should remain with them UNI
ill the first of next September. While
admitting the talent of Mr.. Stephens,
the sc~omplainants declare, nothwith-
standing, hal he is financially ir-
responsible" Hence, they argue, they
have no remedy in a damage suit and
ask the Court of Chancery to enjoin
Kim from ~devoting any of his time be-
tween now and the first of September
to the new enterprise. The complain
ants also seek to enjoin LeMaster from
employing Stephens.
Both MIR. Stephens and Mr.. LeMas-
ter will have to appear in court to an
swer a rule to show cause why the in
junction should not be given, granted
today by Vice-Chancellor Emery and
returnable in one week.

ASKS AID FOR
QUAKE VICTIMS
Calls Upon Citizens to Come to
Immediate Aid of Italian
Sufferers.

Mayor Arthur B. Seymour, of Orange,
today issued the following statement
regarding the raising of funds for the
earthquake sufferers:
To the Citizens of Orange:
Contributions to the Italian earth
quake relief fund will be received at
this office, or at the tax collectors office,
and duly acknowledged. Newspaper re-
ports of this terrible catastrophe indi-
cate that the people cannot be too
quick in their generous contributions to
the fund. The Italians of this city are
fortunate in that, none Of them having
been natives of the earthquake zone,
they are not sufferers by the calamity.
Orange should do its share of the good
work and show it's appreciation of the
excellent qualities of Il large local
Italian population, as well as its heart
felt sympathy for the sufferers.
