President Taft in Boston.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 14.-President
Taft was the observed of all observers
lpon his arrival in Boston today from
lis summer home at Beverly Among
he hundreds who came in contact
With him there was comment unlimit-
d in regards to his appearance of ro-
,ust, and the opinion was universally
expressed that his sojourn on the
lorth shore had put him in fine fettle
stand the wear and tear of the
ranscontinental journey upon which
le is to start tomorrow morning.
The chamber of commerce banquet
n honor of the President tonight bids
air to outshine all of the similar
unctions given in Boston in recent
ears. Arrangements have been made

cs Building, where the affair takes
lace, and it is expected an additional
200 spectators will fill the spacious

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.
!,
Unknown Party Attempts Life of Man
and Woman.

Wilson, N. c., Sept. 13.-Sheriff
Sharpe received telephone message
rom Black Creek last night stating
hat Freeman William and Hiss Min
aie Lucas had been shot about three
niles from Black Creek, and Mr.. Will
!iams was seriously wounded. Mr..
Williams and Miss Lucas were sitting
On the front porch and someone
acraw1ed behind a bush with a shot
gun loaded with No. shot and fired
the load partly taking effect in both
parties.
This morning it developed that nei-
ther of the parties were seriously
hurt, though both were struck by the
load. The message to Sheriff Sharpe
stated that Randall Baker did the
shooting, but Baker, who was in town
to-day, states that he was in Wilson at
the time of the shooting and can
prove this. Baker had not been ar
trested; the officials are after a clue
to the guilty party. No motive for
the cowardly act has been suggested.

WHAT NEXT?

It is no longer now question of
possibilities in the realm Of mans
marvellous latter day achievements.
The main enquiry or speculation is
what next?
This, the twentieth century, though
not yet ten years of age, has wit
messed marvels, and who shall say
what may be proven possible before
the year 1000 is ushered in?
Wireless telegraphy and the flying
machine are the greatest inventions
that the world has ever known. We
can only speculate to what results
they will lead. Half a century or SO
ago crossing the ocean was a journey; !;
now we speed across in floating pal
ace with all the comforts Of a first
class hotel in less than five days.
Steadily the time is being cut down
and the four-day boat is not far in
the future.
The more optimistic of the airshil
people believe that the day will come
when the great aeroplanes, passen-
ger-laden, will cross the broad Allan
tic in safety at speed of not less than
fifty miles an hour.
We have seen so many wonders
that it is hard to be skeptical, nc
matter how wonderful the claims
made.

REFERRED TO MR.. TAFT.

The Greensboro News (Republiean)
is endeavoring to show that 1.-The DEM
ocratic party in North Carolina is run
at the difference in their standing and
reputation in comparison with the
lawyers who are running the opposi-
Star.
AS the News has already shown,
lawyers do not dominate the Repub-
lican party in North Carolina as they
do the Democratic. AS to the rela-
tive standing of Republican and DEM
ocratic lawyers, it is of course well
known that there are great many
more lawyers in the Democratic party
in North Carolina than in the Repub-
lican ranks, but in ability attorneys
of tie Republican faith have no need
to fear a comparison with their DEM
ocratic brethren. Some of the best
and most successful lawyers in the
State today are Republicans IN poll
tics. The trouble with the Democrat
ic party is, it has too many lawyers,
big and little. They control the party
nominations largely, run the conven-
tions, take what they want in the way
of offices and keep the business men
and farmers in the background
Greensboro News.
The estimate the News expresses
above as to the lawyer contingent of
the Republican party is not in accord
ance with that apparently held by Mr..
his careful review of Republican law
yers in this State when considering
the appointment of a Federal judge,
which finally went to Judge Connor.
That's all.

SUTTON'S BODY EXHUMED.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 73.-When
the body of Lieut.. James N. Sutton,
Jr., the young marine officer who met
his death about two years ago at An
napolis, was exhumed at Arlington
Cemetery this afternoon, an autopsy
performed by physicians representing
the Navy Department and young SUIT
tons mother, disclosed the fact that
no bones were broken, although a
concussion was found over the right
eye.'
It has been Mrs. Sutton's conten-
ton that her sons arm had been brok-
en- in the fight which preceded his
death, and that this being the case,
the shot which ended his life could
not have been self-inflicted.
DIR. George Tu1ly Vaughn of this
city, who represented Mrs. Sutton at
the autopsy, said tonight that the bull
let wound which caused Sutton S
death was three inches above the
right ear and was clean cut There
was no indication that the hair and
Surgeon Spear, who represented the
Navy Department, declined to make a
statement tonight, saying that he in
tended to make a report direct to the
Navy Department.
Attorney Van Dyke, associate coun-
sci for Mrs. Sutton, said tonight thai
he was convinced that the shot ha6
been fired at least five feet from the
officers head and that the wounG
showed conclusively that it was {
physical impossibility for Sutton tt
have fired the shot.
After the autopsy had been com
pleted the body was placed in tn,
same grave after the ground had beer
consecrated by Rev. Father Alonz'
Olds, of st. Augustine's Catholi
Church, this city.

Halley's Comet Coming.

Halley's comet, one OF the most
striking appearances ever seen in the
heavens, will probably be visible next
year. ct has already been sighted
with a powerfu! telescope by an as
tronomer at He.dleberg.) F0r centu-
Sies it has appeared each seventy-six
years, and its last appearance was in
1895. When seen in 1853 it's tail
stretched one-fourth the distance
across the whole visible sky; at other
times it looks very small. Comets
were seen in 1861 and again in 1880
and 1882, but these were not Halley's,
which for thirty-eight years now has
been coming back toward us in an
orbit embracing more millions of
miles than the mind of man can pos
sib1y comprehend. Becoming visible a
few months hence, the comet will
probably remain for year the most
striking feature of our nocturnal
skies.

CURTISS CAPTURES THE CUP
AGAIN.

The aviators have to do some real
stunts to attract attention, low that
discoveries of the north pole have be-
come epidemic, but an American has
once more succeeded in attracting the
notice Of the world by capturing the
international aviation prize 1T Bres-
cia, in Italy, where the high-hyers
gathered for the second international
meet.
Glenn Curtiss, who carried OFF the
big cup at Rheims, did the same thing
at Brescia, having made the flight of
fifty kilometres, or thirty-onc (and q
fraction) miles in the splendid time
of forty-nine minutes and ten sec
onds.
The crowds went wild and the
plucky American was the lion Of the
hour.
Once more the spirit Of the true
sportsman was in evidence, for when
Rougier won the first prize for reach
ing the highest altitude, be danced
around with joy and explained that
Curtiss might have gone higher and
captured that prize, also, but that he
had allowed him (Rougier) to carry
off first prize for altitude.
'Curtiss is a true gentleman" ex-
claimed Rougier. HE might have
gone higher than I, but he promised
to leave me the first prize. This is
real American chivalry."
This is the kind of spirit which
true sportsmen show and true gen
tlemen admire all over the world, and
it has special force at this time.
If this thing keeps on the American
people will have nothing to compete
for. ALI the great honora will be Sc
curely in our keeping Nobody seems
disposed to compete for the Americas
cup, which has been In this country
now for fifty years; we have discov-
cred the north pole twice and cap.
tured the international aviation prize
twice in succession.

cmming highly impressed with oul

LOvETT AT The HEAD
Takes Harriman's Place On
the Executive Gem
mittee.
To Further Strengthen Dominance of
Hartman Idea Jacob Schiff and
William Rockefeller Are
Elected Directors.

New York, Sept. 13.-The contin-
of the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and the chain of al
lied railroads was made certain to-
day, temporarily at least, when Robert
8. Lovett, e. H. Harriman's personal
counsel and close friend, was elected
of the executive committee of the
Union Pacific Railroad. To strength
en- further the dominance of the "Har-
riman idea," Jacob H. Schiff and Will
liam Rockefeller-both heavily inter-
ested In the Hartman enterprise
were elected directors in place of Mr..
Hartman and the late H. H Rogers
and also were chosen to places on the
executive committee.
The Union Pacific still remains
without president, as Mr.. Hartman
occupied this position also. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that an operating
man-probably L. F. Loree, president
of the Delaware & Hudson will be
elected for the place at the annual
meeting of stockholders to be held on
October IL.
The Office which Judge Lnvett as
sumed today is the most important il
the management and financial super
vision of the Union Pacific. The di
rectors of the Southern Pacific will
meet tomorrow. 1t is taken for grant
ed that their action is fully forecast
ed by today's meeting and that Judg
Lovett will be seated as chairman o
that executive committee also in MI
Harriman's place, with Jacob H
Schiff or some other partner in tn
firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., at his righ
hand as director and member of tn
executive committee.
