SOL. HAAS is DEAD.
A Noted Southern Railroad Man Died
in California.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 22.-Word
was received here tonight of the
death in Hollywood, Cal, of Solomon
Haas, one of the pioneer railroad men
of the South. He was born in Ger
many sixty-eight years ago, settling in
Georgia when a young man and serv-
ing in the Confederate army. In 1868
he was made soliciting agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line, later becoming
general freight agent Of the Richmond
& Danville Railroad and subsequently
being named traffic manager of the
Associated Railways of Virginia and
the Carolinas, which then included
the Richmond & Danville, the Sea-
board Air Line and the Atlantic Coast
Line. In 1887 he became traffic man
ager of the Richmond e Danville
Railroad, remaining there until 1894,
when he was made assistant to the
president of the Southern Railway.
Two years later he retired from active
work because of falling health. He
leaves a widow and two daughters.

WANT MORE INFORMATION.
Administration After Facts i'm Nicara-
guam Embroglio.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 23.-The de-
lay on the part of the United States in
taking any action with respect to the
killing by order of President Zelaya,
of Nicaragua, of the two Americans,
Grace and Cannon, it developed today
is occasioned by the inability of the
government up to this time to fxe the
exact status in Nicaragua of the slain
men.
It was explained today that every
effort is being made through agencies
to determine whether these men were,
in fact, members of the revolutionary
army, or whether they were acting on
their own responsibility at the time
they were captured.
The American vice-consul at Mana
qua, Henry Caldera, has been instruct.
ed to obtain all possible information
on this subject, and it is believed that
other agencies have also been en-
ployed for the same purpose. Until
this information is received, it is
doubtful if the United States will take
any steps looking to the chastisemen'
of Zelaya beyond putting itself in 9
position to act promptly should occa.
sion require it.

CORTEZ BURIED. IN MEXICO.
Evidence Found to Dispr0Ye Theory of
Former Historians.

Mexico City, Nov. 22.-Charles C.
Gordon, of Cincinnati, O., has just
found the evidence which proves to his
mind as well as to those of many of
MeXico's historians that fernando
CorteZ, conqueror of this country in
the sixteenth century, died and was
hurled here and not in Seville, Spain,
as has been advocated by Parkman
Motley, and other historians of Mexi
CO.
Mr.. Gordon has been in Mexico for
several years studying the people
conditions, and the history from the
old unpublished manuscripts he has
found that one of these is the will OF
Cortez, in which he said he wanted to
be buried here.
Another is an attest of the will by 8
friend of Cortez, who details the death
here in 1850 of Cortez Immediately af
ter his return from Spain.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL
Mr.. S. ". lsIer Sells Knit
ting Mill Corner.
It Means Bigger Things for GoldsborO
During the Coming Year
in New Industrial
Enterprises.

The valuable real estate on which
are the plants of Goldsboro Knitting
Mill and other adjacent brick build
ings, including the bott1ing plant, was
sold today in fee simple by Mr.. s. w
Isler to the Durham company that is
now operating this mill, and which
has an option on the brick buildings,
belonging to other parties.
The real estate, other than the brick
buildings, measures POI feet along
East Centre street to the corner of
Ash street, and along Ash street east
erly 13S feet. and the price paid for
this property was ten thousand dol
lars.
The fact that Durham capital, al
ready invested SO largely in the above
mill, owning, as the company does, the
extensive equipment, is seeking and
making yet further investment means
much for Go1dsboro, and but forcib1y
emphasizes what The Argus has ever
claimed for the town that, with our
unsurpassed and even unequaled rail-
road facilities, superb climate, hy-
gienic location and inexhaustibly fer
tile back country for market supplies,
it is the best town in the State for
manufacturing enterprises of every
description.
We cordially welcome these new in
vestments in Goldsboro real estate
and industrial enterprises, and we
congratulate Goldsboro that at last
its strategic merits are being recog-
nized by outside prospectors.
The new year promises much for
Goldsboro.

Cherry, H., Nov 22.-One man, sup
posed to be alive, was taken from the
mine. The man, after being taken to
the hospital car was pronounced dead
by the physicians in charge, and the
body was removed to the morgue. The
body still was warm and this had led
to the belief of the rescuers that he
was alive. One Of the rescuers ex-
citedly told of hearing the man moan
after he had been placed on the
stretcher, but this was pronounced
mistake by the physicians. While un-
certain as to the time of death, they
believe it had occurred at least twelve
hours before being placed on the
stretcher. The temperature of the
mine, which is higher than sixty de-
grees, caused by the fire, as yet unex-
tinguished, undoubtedly was the cause
OF the warmth Of the body. Wild
scenes followed the carrying of the
man to the hospital car.
''They are alive" came the cry from
all sides and a rush that almost car
ried the bearers off their feet began
The soldiers were hurried to the spot
and forced back the crowd, while ply
sicians and nurses worked over the
body of the man in the car. The work
os hoisting the other victims to the
surface did not cease. AS the first
load of three stretchers, their burdens
and their carriers reached the top
the crowd surged back to the car n
few yards away. Scores bent over the
bodies but even the Impractical glance
OF those not of the medical profession
saw at once that there was no mis-
take as to the death OF those on the
stretchers.
The work Of taking out the bodies
continued until twenty-five had been
carried from the shaft to the tempor-
airy morgue. Before the last of those
taken from the line had been placed
in the morgue the body of the un-
known man had been removed from
the hospital car to the place alongside
those OF his former comrades.
The rescuers who carried up the
twenty-three bodies said there was
evidence that the men had walled
themselves in for several days, but ha6
emerged to. seek food or water and
had met death in the black damp.
AT a point beyond where the search
ers had gone several declared the.
could see the shattered blocking of ;
pocket where the men had taken ref
uge. The bodies are scattered alon,
the gallery for many yards and tn
men who found them believed the vic
Tins collapsed from weakness or as
phyxiation before going fifty yards to
ward the entrance. Some of the bod
les were burned, and it is probabl
that of the twenty three not all ha
been inmates of the pocket. The ex
listence of the refuge was denied b
ether members Of the party who as
IS .rted that they had seen no eyidenc

INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION,
Record of New Industries and Prog
ress Along Southern Railway.

FeSS AlOng southern HALLWAY.
In general improvements during tn
year there were invested along tn
Southern Railway 500 max
ing the total amount invested in al
improvements for which statistics ar,
gathered $104,186,051. The aggregat.
| amount invested along the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad was $12,387, 1854. It il
noteworthy that during the year along
the Southern $3,SO2,28O were spent fol
new schools, $1.846,115 for new
churches, $10,27O,8 ,818 for new business
structures, $32,212,936 for new resi-
dences. At the same time the amount
expended for public improvements
was $5,558, 1891 on streets, $3,530,2S3 on
sewers, $3,060,204 for water works and
water supply Of towns and cities
These figures show in the most con-
elusive manner the growth of the
South in wealth and ability to make
needed improvements as we'll as the
continued expansion of it's business
There were built in the twelve months
along the line Of the Southern Rail
v-ay in cities, towns and villages 10
less than $4,000 residences.
The statistics are not available to
show just what the gain has been dur
ing the year agriculturally, but thar
the same advance in agriculture has
been made as in-the various Industries
is certain. Indeed, there was proba-
bly, even much greater advance. The
statistics published by the United
States Department Of Agriculture
show in the nine Southeastern states.
through which the Southern Railway
and the Mobile & Ohio run, returns
from the staple crops of cotton, corn,
wheat, oats, potatoes, hay and tobac-
co in 1908 of $S6S,000,000. It is well
known that the greatest advance is
taking place in the methods of cultiva-
ton, soil preservation, crop diversifi-
cation, and in everything which goes
also that on Southern farms more and
more conveniences and improvements
of all kinds are being added, while the
great value of Southern soils is being
demonstrated as never before. There
Las been a steady movement of people
from the North, and the Northern E:.-
ropean countries, to the territory
reached by the lines. This movement
is gaining all the time, as the value of
Southern farm lands become better
known.
III the past eight years there has
been invested in industries alcng the
Southern Railway and Mobile & Ohio
Railroad the enormous amount of
$518, 100000. This great industrial ex-
pansion has come because the re-
sources and other conditions which
affect industrial development are
found to the best advantages in the |
Southeastern states.

DIES FROM RATTLER'S BITE.
Snake Seven Feet Long Attacks Girl
in Flower Garden.

Amsterdam, Ca, Nov. 22.-Miss
Eel,e Jones, eighteen years old, daugh-
ter of a merchant here, is dead as a
result of being struck by a rattler
while walking in the flower garden
Of her home.
The snake was coiled under a rose
tus1 and struck Miss Jones as she
was gathering flowers. The snake
struck on the leg between the ankle
and knee and clung there. The girl
ran screaming to the house, dragging
the snake with her. Her cries aroused
her father, who snatched the snake
from her leg with his hands and
killed it.
The snake was seven feet long and
Of enormous girth. The marks of its
fangs on the girls leg were over three
inches apart. Physicians were sum-
moned, but she died in terrible agony
five hours later.

New York, Nov. 23.-The Astor
yacht puzzle is solved. Mail from Col
John Jacob Astor and his party

Dalton, of the Luckenbach, that the
yacht was to sail next for some Cuban

at anchor and showed no signs OF
damage.
The positive assurance that the

One Supp0sed TO Be Alive
But Was Found To Be
Dead.
Evidence That Men Had Walled Them
selves Up for Several Days, But
In Seeking Food or Water
Had Met Death.

Cherry, Ill, Nov. 22.-Efforts to
reach men possibly still alive in the
st. Paul mine were in vain today in
-wo parts of the underground work
iAgs. Although excitement was caused
by the finding of dead miner who
at first was thought to be alive, the
net result of todays work was the re-
covery of forty-two bodies.
Rain fell all night and during the
foreaoon turned to snow. Scarcely a
nnsman Of the missing men was at
the mine today. But e&orts to ex
pIore underground continued with un
abated vigor. Dozens of volunteers
worked against exasperating impedi-
ments to extend the limit of their ex-
plorations.
They're still alive down there,
was the watchword of every worker,
although evidence in support of it was
nleagre.
The first tangible evidence that the
Killed when the fire broke out on Sat
urday was the failure to find anv
bodies where it was predicted larg,
number would be found if the men
we're smothered in their first rush for
safety.
Many mining implements were
found, but not a dinner pail was to
be seen. From this it was argued that
the men, unable to escape when the
FIRE was discovered, retreated to some
extremity of the mine, carrying their
food with them. But this was the ex-
tent of inspiring discoveries for the
day.

A DREAMER OF DREAMS.
r2,SDrew Poet OF New York Belonged to
Age of By-Gone Singers.

There died in New York the othel
day one of those eccentric children O
genius who, in commonplace ano
hunldrum, world, maintained an Idea
and dwelt in an exalted sphere.
Eapthali Herr Imber, had he livee
in the Old Testament days, might
have been a Psalm writer or minol
prophet. AS it is, he was Hebrew
poet, appreciated among the tene-
ments of the East Side, but unknown
to the world without.
His orbit probably led through the
various Hebrew restaurants, the Jew
ish printing Offices. and the homes OF
his people, Like the minstrel of old.
Imber would, in exchange for dinner,
compose laudatory odes on the birth
day anniversary of Mr.. Abrahamo-
witch, the tailor, or Mr.. Scharnfarber.
Highest price paid for old clothes :
He might have stepped out of the
pages of Zangwil1's Children of the
Ghetto"
In exchange for an anniversary
poem,'' he even purchased for himself
a grave, but for the most part his
muse was not commercial, and scared
on a much higher plane. His verses
in classical Hebrew must undoubtedly
have been very excellent, for his ge-
MUS was the admiration of the rabbis.
He was the author of ''Hatikvah," the
Zionist National Hymn" which has
inspired so many of the Chosen Peo-
pie" with 1ongings to return to the
Promised Land"
While he belonged altogether to an
other, and more philosophic age;
while he sang as others toiled in the
sweatshops; while, like many another
immortal. he lived like the birds of
the air, who can estimate his influence
among those of his own race?
The way of the immigrant Jew in
America is hard, and there is little
time for the dreaming and poetry that
the Children of Israel delight in. I'M
ber, visionary that he was, represent
ed the finest, and at the same time.
most characteristic quality of his
Times-Star.
