Today's Double ANGULAR Eclipse.

Washington, D. c., June 17.-At the
Naval Observatory here and among
American scientists in general much
disappointment is felt that today's
eclipse cannot be seen to its best ad-
vantage on this continent, for the
eclipse is one of the most interesting
of astronomical phenomena. The
present eclipse is one of the peculiar
type of solar eclipses which begins
as annular, becomes total and changes
to annular again. Although the rec
ords of eclipses go back hundreds of
years the history of astronomy fails
to show any duplicate for the double
annular and total eclipse such as that
which occurs today.
The central path of this eclipse lies
wholly in the far north. It begins in
Siberia and, crossing the Arctic cir
Gle, passes nearer the north pole than
any explorer has yet reached, and
leaves the earth in southern Green
land. The southern region of partial
eclipse includes China, Eastern Asia
and North America as far south as
the Gulf of Mexico. But throughout
practically the whole of North Ameri
ca observers will be able to see only
very small partial eclipses SO small
in fact as to be hardly noticeable.

Newark, N. J., June 16.-The trial
of Mrs. Francis j. Ridley, of Atlanta,
Ca, on charge of the larceny of ST.
900 worth of jewelry belonging to
Mrs. Andrew Albright, of New York,
was Indefinitely postponed today fol-
lowing prolonged conference be-
tween the prosecuting authorities and
Congressman Richardson, of Alabama,
and United States Attorney William

gressman Richardson and Mr.. Am
BRIGHT had come to testify to the good
character and standing of Mrs. Ridley
and had brought dispositions of a SIM
liar nature from numerous prominent
Atlanta people and officials of several
Southern states.
Mrs. Ridley and her friends insisted
on immediate trial and expressed in
dignation when they could get no sat
isfaction as to when the case would
be taken up, the local authorities de-
claring that no judge was available to
try it.
Mrs. Ridley was accused of taking
a satchel containing the jewelry while
she and Mrs. Albright were fellow
passengers On a train from the South

adf bells and blowing of whistles
Throughout the city. During the fore
noon visitors poured into the city in

Gus aeronauts. Buttons bearing min
iature portraits OF the Wright broth

citizen of Dayton.
Two regiments of the Otto National
Guard have arrived to head the pa

CHARLES W. MORSE GIVES BOND.
Effort to Save Him From
Years. Sentence. StaN

New York, June 16.-Charles w.
Morse, the former banker and promo
ter of huge enterprises, today won his
long fight for release from prison un-
der bail. He was Immediately re-
leased by order of the United States
Circuit Court, after bonds signed by
twenty-five Of his friends giving $685.
600 in security were rendered to the
court. Morse's appeal for new trial
is still pending, the court today re-
serving decision on that point. His
release came largely through the ac-
tivity of friends who petitioned the
court in May saying that they believed
in his innocence and were ready to
become responsible upon bail bond
for an indefinite sum. The signers in
cluded Frank A. Munsey, Augustus
VanWgck, John D. Crimmins, Oak
leigh Thorne, and other prominent
New York bankers and business men.
Morse was convicted of having mis-
appropriated the funds of his former
chief bank, the National Bank of
North America, in financial opera
tions, which led to his being thrown
into bankruptcy early in 1908 He
was sentenced to fifteen years in the
Federal prison in Atlanta, Ga. Since
this conviction he has been in the
Tombs. Attempts to have him admit
ted to bail have extended over a pc
riod of seven months.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Congress Will Assuredly Establish
Good Roads Commission.

The good roads movement, lnadgn-
rated this. gEo.,t the states CT tEt At
lantic seaboard, has resulted in bring
ing the matter to the attention OF
Congress, and the indications are that
at the next regular session something
will be done to secure the co-opera-
ton of the national government in the
building of good roads.
Congressman James Hughes, of
West Virginia, will press his bill to
create a good roads commission in
the government
This commission will devote it's at
tention to the extension and develop
ment of good roads as military and
postroads and for the furtherance OF
interstate commerce.
The cOpStitutionaiity of such a
step cannot be in doubt. In the ear
lier days of the Republic great atten-
ton was paid to such highways. I'm
fortunately, these efforts were coinci-
dent with a period Of wildcat finan-
ciering which brought distress upon
the country. and evil came of what
should have been an unmixed bless
ing.
But the new project would be on
sounder basis, and it would be even
more timely than it was in the days
before railroads had been developed
to their present high power and per-
lection. We have given so much at
tention to railroad development that
the vehiculaf lines of travel and
have been grossly neg
lected.
It is time for us to wake up, and
the indications are that we are wax
ing up.
1t is hoped the government may be
interested in this project whereby
continuity and harmony will result in
great national highways.
1t is the logical consequence Of the
now going forward
throughout the Atlantic states.

Convention Opened in
New York To-Day With Over
Three Hundred Delegates
i'm Attendance.

New York, June et15.-Presbyterians
from all over the world are attending
the international convention of the
| Presbyterian Church, which opened
| today at the Fifth. Avenue Presbyte-
| rian Church. The. delegates number
more than three hundred and they
represent among tffem ninety separate
denominations and 100000 mem
bers.
Included among those present are
some of the most distinguished theo-
logians and ecclesiastics in the world.
The presiding officer is DIR. Oswald
Dykes, of Cambridge, England. Other
noted delegates from abroad are Sir
Alexander Simpson, late dean of the
faculty of the medical college of the
University Of Edinburgh; DR.. J. Camp
bell Gibson, moderator of the Presby-
terian Church of England; the Rev
DR.. James Orr, a leading theologian
University of Cambridge; Dr.. J. H.
Stevenson, of Edinburgh, nephew of
Robert Louis Stevenson; Rev. Dr.
Laws, moderator OF the United Free
Church of Scotland; Sir Samuel
Chisholm, former Lord Mayor of Glas-
of Paris, and Rev. Chevalier Muston,
of Italy.
Among the American delegates who
are on the program for addresses are
Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia;
President Woodrow Wilson, of Prince
ton University; President James D.
Moffatt, of Washington and Jefferson
College; Rev. Samuel L. Smith, of the
Columbia, S. c., Theological Semi
nary; Rev. Frederick B. DuVal, for
mer moderator of the Presbyterian
Church in Canada; Rev. Ira Landrith,
of Nashville, and Rev. DR.. William H.
Roberts, stated eI3a,E ef the Northern
Presbyterian General Assembly
The local Presbyterians have made
elaborate preparations for entertain
ing the delegates. The Pan-Presbyte-
rian Alliance as the gathering is
commonly called, is not a legislative
body. It's work is to discuss church
and religious questions, and while it
has no legislative functions it's rec
concentrations carry great weight
with the governing bodies of the sep
arate. denominations.
The sessions Of the present meet
ing will continue ten days. One of
the most vital questions to be consid-
cred when the convention gets into
full swing will be the uniting of the
various branches of the Presbyterian
Church into one strong body. This
problem has been broached at other
conventions, but, according to views
expressed by some of the leading del
egates today, the question is to come
up in more concrete form at this
meeting.
immigration will be another impor-
tant matter to receive the attention
of the convention. The gathering will
also take up civic and social prob
| lens, and there will be discourses on
| these by clergymen and laymen from
| all over the world.

PRUDENT CONTRACTING
G0ldsborO'S BituIithiC Pavins
Done at Minimum
Cost.
Our City Fathers Have Been COnser.
vatfve i'm Expenditure of City
Funds and in Driving Good
Paving Trade.

That the bitulithic paving put down
along West Walnut street is the best.
and that our City Fathers, who bar
gained for it at 1925 per square yard,
made good trade as to price, we
copy from yesterday evenings Nor
folk Ledger-Dispatch the following
item:
"The local board of the Seventh
ward, at it's meeting Saturday night.
awarded the contract for paving 34th
street to the Atlantic Bitulithic Com
pany, the local representative of
which is John Whitehead. The con-
tract price is 1924 per square yard,
and the aggregate of the contract is
about $4,000. Bitulithic was used on
a part of the Boulevard here and has
given good results.
Bids for various other kinds of
paving were also submitted, but the
board concluded that everything con-
sldered, including probable cost of re-
pairs, the bitulithic was the most eco
aomical and desirable proposition be-
fore them''
IL w III OO occl lIOIu Tie ABOVE CndC
in city like Norfolk, where all kinds
Of paving have been put to the prac-
t1cal test, the bitulithic is considered
N every way the best, and won out
over all other competing bids
Furthermore, it will be observed
that the contract price at which the
above bid is awarded is 1924 per
square yard. This in Norfolk, where
competitive railroad freights and wa
ter rates prevail, making transporta-
ton of pounded rock much cheaper
than to Goldsboro, and yet Goldsboro
nas a price of only one cent per
square yard more, viz, 1925.
This speaks well for the prudence
and sagacity with which our.1City Fa-
theirs handle the public funds in their
hands.

Trouble Feared i'm Honduras.

Events are marching on toward rev.

patches received yesterday by local
business men engaged in Central
American trade. The country faces a
crisis probably the most serious since
the fall of General Manuel Bonilla in
1906.

and it was stated yesterday that he
has secured his passage to Belize
Honduras, for next Thursday on the

President Davilla. They stoutly deny
however, that there is anything sig

MEETING OF KAISER AND CZAR.
Meeting of the Two Rulers to Take
Place OFF Reval.

Berlin, June 16.-The imperial
yacht Hohenzollern, with Emperor
William aboard, is now on it's way to
the Finnish Gulf for the meeting ar
ranged for tomorrow between the En-
peror and Car. According to advices
from st. Petersburg the meeting of
the two rulers will take place off Re-
val. Both the Emperor and the Czar
are to be accompanied by their for
eign ministers and other advisers.
Great political significance is at
tached to the meeting Of the two rul-
ers. 1t is fully recognized that Ger
man mediation, which brought about
settlement of the recent Balkan
crisis, was not altogether to the liking
of st. Petersburg, and that as conse-
quence the support of the Russian
government in future might be more
likely to be given Great Britain's con-
tinental policy than to the German
policy. The possibility of close rela-
tions between Russia on the one side
and France and England on the other
has been viewed in Germany with
some concern.
A determined effort will now be
made to detach Russia from England
and France and to engage Russian su
and France and to engage Russian
support for Germany. The personal
element plays great part in interna-
tional European policies, and the
i 81 rilxipcr norcouoI;tv of tho Koico1
| counts for a great deal. The Kaiser
| is expected to exert all his persona
| fascination in order to gain the sym
pathies of the Czar and thereby to in
fuence the foreign policy of Russi;
in direction favorable to Germany.
