HADLEY PRAISES ROGERS.
Says Oil Magnate Was Personally an
Attractive and LikeabIe Man.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, May 90
When informed of the death of H. H.
Rogers in New York yesterday Gov
ernor Hadley, who as attarney general
of Missouri examined Mr.. Rogers in
the suits against the Standard Oil
Company, said: III. H. Rogers was a
remarkably able and also a remark
ably attractive man. His great sue
cess in business had apparently made
him Indifferent to the restraints which
the law imposed as to the methods
in which his business could be con-
Quoted. There was a tendency to
facetiousness in his testimony in the
Standard Oil litigation, which perhaps
unjustly created the impression that
his attitude toward the law and the
courts was one of flippancy and indif-
ference. Whatever may be the final
judgment as to the methods that he
employed in the business world,
think there can be no question that
he was personally an attractive and
likeable man.

PRESIDENT TAFT
IN CHARLOTTE, NC.
ARRIVAL IN NORTH CAROLINA
CITY TODAY.
Purpose of Visit Is to Take Part in
Celebration of Signing MeckIen-
burg Declaration of independence.

CHARLOTTE, N. c. May 20.-Pres-
ident Taft arrived here from Peters
burg, Va, shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning He comes to attend
the annual celebration of the signing
of the Mackleburg Declaration of H.
dependence, said to have been signed
May 20, 1775, and to have anti-dated
the famous declaration of independ-
ence which was signed July 4, 1776.
The Mecklenburg declaration has
long been the subject of stubborn con-
troversy. It's supporters say there is
no doubt as to it having been signed
when claimed, while many historians
declare it to be a myth. The uphold
ers of the Macklenburg documents
and its critics have long been cons1d-
cred irreconcilable, so North Carolina
is today overjoyed when the President
of the United States attends the cele-
bration.

SOLDIERS HUNT
ESCAPED CONVICT

JACKSON, Miss, May 2O-An ad-

the Capitol Light Guards left here to-
day for Winston county to join in the
search of Thomas Atkinson, a fugi-
tive convict, who escaped from the
Mississippi penitentiary twenty years
ago and whose presence in Winston
county became known several weeks
ago.

ment of twelve men from the Capital

who has been absent from the prison

however, that they are in the vicinity
of Noxupater, few miles from the
railroad, and that they are prepared to
Stay there all summer if necessary to
take the man wanted. The party is in
command of Detective McCay and he
has orders to take his time. The
bloodhounds from the state arm in
Rankin county are also members of
the party, and if once the trail is
struck fresh, they will tree the fugi-
tive in short order, unless he kills
them. Efforts to reach the soldier
boys by telephone have so far failed,
Louisville and Noxupater being
reached by very roundabout routes,
and the connections being bad. It
is known here, however, that if the
soldiers had experienced any trouble
they would have advised Jackson ere
this.

NAlROBI, British East Africa, May
l9.-Theodore Roosevelt has begun
his hunting expedition from the Juia
ranch of George Mcmillan, whose
guest he is. He went out last Sunday
and bagged a female rhinoceros. The
first shot wounded her in the shoulder
and the animal fled to the bushes. Mr.
Roosevelt followed on horseback and
six more shots were required to bring
her down. The head and skin weighed
532 pounds. Today Colonel Roosevelt
added a hippotamus to his big game
bag. The animal was killed a short
distance from the Juja ranch. Ed.
mund Heller, of the Roosevelt expedi-
tion, returned to camp this morning

YOUNG OLIVIER AVENGES
HIS WRONGED Sister
The Murder Follows the Posting of
Mysterious PIacards on the Return
of Physician From Trip-Boy Has
Many Friends to Aid Him.

: MORGAN CITY, La, May 20.-Sen-
Sational developments have come to
light as to the killing yesterday morn
ing of DIR. Allen S. King, by young Leo
Olivier, only fifteen years Of age,
and it seems committed the act 60
avenge his sister, who it was alleged
had been ruined by the physician.
Yesterday afternoon at the coroner's
inquest the verdict was that DR.. King
had come to his death by gunshot
wounds inflicted by Leo olivier. The
boy was subsequently turned over to
Sheriff w. T. Peterman of st. Mary
parish, and was taken to Franklin to
be placed in the Parish prison await
ing the action of the next grand jury.
When the boy, who is an orphan, his
father having been DR.. Micheal Olivier
who died several years ago, was taken
from the city Jail to the passenger sta
ton to take west-bound train for
Franklin, leaving at 1850 o'clock. He
was accompanied by his brother,
James, and many of his friends. One
after another of them crowded aboard
the train to say goodbye to the boy,
who was under arrest for the first
time in his life.
AS the boy sat in the coach he said
but few words to those who passed
him in the aisle to shake hands. Be
side him sat the sheriff and deputy.
Leo is a good-sized boy for his age,
being five feet six inches in height.
He wore a brown telescoped hat,
light brown suit and flowing green
and lavender four-in-hand cravat His
clothes were nobby and were of the
style that have cuffs on the sleeves
of the coat and cuffs on the trausers.
He has dark complexion and this
evening he was considerably more
pale than usual.

city, left here for New Orleans, where
1t is said she placed herself under the
care of a physician. The following
day Dr. King closed his office and also
went to New Orleans. but whether or
not he followed the pretty young
| school teacher is a matter of coniect-
ure.
Returning to this city, the girl is
said to have accused the physician.
The girls confession was made on
bended knees before a crucifix and in
the presence of Rev. A. Souby, pastor
OF the Catholic church, the mother of
the girl and a friend The confession,
although not denied or affirmed by
the priest, was made last week, and
was circulated freely about the streets.
Last Tuesday DR.. King returned to
this city and Immediately resumed his
practice. The day following his return
the town was placarded with large
printed posters which heralded his
return and branded him as the be-
trayer of women. It is believed that
the poster was what inflamed the
youthful brother with a desire to
avenge the wrong. Arming himself
with a 32-caliber automatic revolver
young Oliver porceeded to the office
OF the physician yesterday morning.
He left home about the usual time
without giving a hint as to the ter
rible purpose on his mind. He passed
several friends on the way and salut-
ed them in his usual jovial way. He
went straight to the office of DR..
King, hurried up the stairs and
knocked. Come in" were the only
words Miss Halle Bibbins, who was
but short distance away heard. The
next instant two shots rang out.
Among the first to reach the side of
the wounded man was Leroy Olivier,
who, although he bears the same
naem as the youth who did the shoot.

fster to him.
The doctor was lying on his face
with his hands stretched out" ex-
planned Olivier "He had a pair of
brass knuckles on his right hand"
The witness is a deputy sheriff of Ter
rebonne Parish.
This statement was corroborated by
DR.. Crelrault, who was positive that
DR.. King had on pair of knuckles
when he reached his side. Several
other perosns who reached the office
before the coroner arrived are posi-
tive in their assertions that DR..
King had on pair of brass knuckles.
Dan j. Lynch, who was standing

stated that he saw young Olivier
