BLAZING ROUTE
National Highway Car Placing
Signs for a utoists

The New Yors Herald touring
Gar, a 80. horse power Alec, passed
through Lexington Saturday en-
route to Roanoke, blazing the
trail for the coming of the New

Atlanta to the Magic City.
Mr.. Blalock said this reliability
run is not to be an auto race.
There will be from 70 to 100 cars
TO leave New York and the trip
will be made in easy stages of
about 100 miles a day. Night

w. II. u. Won from Wake Fofeat
5~--- Saturday

Although badly crlppieu ny
having several members OF the
team out Of the game, Washing-
ton and Lee piled up a score OF IL
to 0 against Wake Forest Satur-
day afternoon on Wilson Field.
Bad judgment and the failure to
punt cftener cost the Varsity st
least two touchdowns. o.
Captain lizard did rot 60 in On
ill the lat three minutes, aud his
bsense was keenly felt. Wilson
and Brown were al1o out, and
none of the regular ents were in
the game. 80. ft.
The offensive work Of Anderson,
Earwood and Barnard, however,
was great, and they were respon'
sible for some long gains for the
Varsity. Anderson Carried the
bail seventeen times, and gained a
total Ct ninety-nine yards, The
crack full back is now in good con-
dition, and at one time ran punt
back forty five yards through the
whole Tarheel team. Four min
utss after the first touchdown Bar
nsrd took the ball, on the Caro-
linian's twelve yard line, and went
| over the line in great style. Ear
wood ripped off several good gains
and once rushed around the Tar
heel end for twenty-five yards
Bruce did great work In the line,
his speed IN getting down on
punts and his flying tackles feat

OBITUARY.
Neil Mclnness.

Neil McInnessJ a highly respected resident of this city for the last forty years, kand half or that time on Union street, passed away Sunday morning at 9.45 o'clock at his home, No. 72 Un- ion street. For two or three years past he had had heart trouble, and his death followed an acute attack which came on Saturday night. He had not been confined to his bed at all before his death.
 MT Richness was a native of Rem fortshire, near Glasgow, Scotland, and with his wife came to this country about 35 years old. locating in East BrOokfeld. Mass. Shortly afterwards they removed to Norwich, and have lived here ever since. The deceased was molder by trade, but had not worked at his trade for a dozen years. For nearly thirty years he was em- ployed at Vaughn's foundry, where he was valued workman, looked upon as an expert and of unusual reliability.
 In the home he was model husband and father, kind and thoughtful, and always interested in the advancement of it's interests. His loss will be deep ly felt, and the affiction to the home circle at this time Is the more keen. as it follows the death of a son, James H., four montfs ago.
 Those surviving, with the widow, are four sons and two daughters-Robert of Newark, N. J., Hugh. William and John of this city, Miss Mary Richness of New York and Miss Sarah Richness of this city. The deceased left no brothers or sisters.

STRIKE OF MINERS PREDICTED
Opinion of Secretary HartIein of Dis
 trict No. g.

Philadelphia, March 14-Secretary Hartlein of district No. 9, United Mine Workers. declared tonight that he be- lieved there would be a strike of the anthracite miners. He said:
 Tn my opinion a strike is sure to come. At the conference between the representatives of the operators and the miners the former maintained an attitude which, in my opinion, will cause a strike to be called.
 Heretofore the operators have all ways made concessions which have placated the men. But at the last meeting there was no bending. Every issue which we presented was rejected by the operators. Those issues have been long considered by the miners and they know their demands are not unreasonable; that they are asking on- ly that to which they are rightfully entitled.
 The rejection of these demands will anger the members of the union, and am of the opinion that the result of the convention to be held in Scranton on March 2S will be that the commit tee will be instructed to again confer with the mine operators and to again present to them the very same de- mands which they have just rejected. Then, unless these demands are grant ed, which I do not think possible in view of the present attitude of the op- orators, I am confident that a strike will be called"

Army Transport
 Logan Ashore
NO EXCITEMENT AMONG PAssEN-
 GERS AND TROOPS.
ON REEF IN HONOLULU HARBOR
The Logan Has on Board 300 Officers and Men of Twelfth Cavalry Besides Three Brigadier Generals.

Honolulu, March 14.-Three tugs joined today in a vain attempt to re- float the United States army transport Logan. which went ashore last night in this harbor while manoeuvring to back into her slip. The troopship, 25 feet of her bow resting on a reef, lies on the south side of the narrow harbor just opposite slip.
 Ship is in No Danger.
 She is listed to starboard, but is not leaking and is in no danger, as the position in which she lays is well pro- tected, even in time of storm.
 The lighthouse tender Kukui is lay ing the anchors out astern, and at high tide another effort to drag her into deep water will be made. The Logan's winch engines and the tugs will com bine to pull her off the reef.
 British Cruiser Offers Aid.
 The commander of the British couis- CT Britain, now here, has offered the services of his ship, but it is believed that the Logan's engines and the tugs will be able ta get the big ship afloat. There was no excitement among the passengers and troops aboard when the ship went aground.
 800 Troops on Board.
 San Francisco. March 14.1The To- gan sailed from this port for Monila on March 6. She had 800 officers and men of the Twelfth cavalry aboard, be- sides Brigadier Generals Carter, Brush and David, who are en route to their posts in the Philippines.

PRESIDENT TAFT AT CHURCH.
Walked Both Wsys-Seoret Service
 Men Followed Behind.

Washington, March f4--Forsaking his own church for the day, President Taft attended services this morning at the New York Presbyterian church, where Presiden Lincoln and other famous statesmen once worshipped.
 MT. Taft left the White House with Mrs Nicholas L. Anderson of this city. who accompanied him to church. To- gether they walked the four blocks to the church, and several times the pres ident was compelled to doff his hat in recognition of the greeting of the many who spoke to him along the way. Two secret service men with frock coals ana silk hats walked behind him and sat ntar them during services.
 Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the church, referred to the president in his opening prayer, saying: Bless William Howard Taft and his cabinet; bless the administration and make it a DOW CT for good in the world"
 After the services the congregation stood while the president and Mrs An derson walked out. MT. Taft returned to the White House on foot, Mrs. An derson leaving him when they arrived near her home on K street

New York Italian Detective, while Tracking
 Sicilian Criminals, Shot at Palermo.
GENERAL ROUNDUP OF BLACK FLANDERS
Police of Both this Country and Italy Stirred Unpre- cedented Activity - American Ambassador Makes Representations to Foreign Office-NesIect Part of Italian Police-Perosino had Valuable Papers.

Palermo, Sicily, March 14.-Lieut Joseph Petrosino. head of the Italian squad at the New York police head quarters. was shot to death at nine o'clock Friday evening under the shad- ow of the trees of Marina, square in this city. Whether he was /lured there or not is unknown, but 1t is believed that Lieutenant Petrosino, who, dur ing his stay in Sicily had been inde- fatigable in searching up the records of Sicilian criminals, had gone to the square in the hope of obtaining infor- nation which he considered of the utmost importance.
 Asssssins Make Their Escape.
 The identity of the assassins has not been disclosed for they made their escape, after having made certain of the death of the detective. Not the slightest trace of them has yet been discovered, but undoubtedly they were men who had reason to dread Petro- sino's presence in Italy, either bescause he was on their track or on the track of fellow members of some of the se- cret organizations of America
 Petrosino had managed to collect while here much evidence of the crim- inality of a large number of Italians who have taken refuge in the United States, which would have given the American government the power to deport them. In a number of cases he had traced murder to them. His work will be largely destroyed by his death, as he had not had the time nor the opportunity to place much of his data on record.
 Tried to Shoot Murderers.
 His assassination was a most cold blooded one. He was attacked in the darkness at the corner of the deserted square by two men. who fired three shots at him. Petrosino. though nor tally wounded. clung desperately to life and showed at the very last mo- ment extraordinary courage and cool ness. Though the blood was stream ing from a desperate wound in his face, and he could feel that death was near. he chung with one hand to the grating of a nearby window. He man. aged to draw his revolver and fire one shot, and then fell to the ground.

 The long fast was not a voluntary one, but was occasioned by cancer of the stomach, from which Bastin had been suffering for many months In spite of his weakened and emaciated condition, Bastin remained conscious and recognized his friends to the last.
