A Preacher Leaves Letter To
Conference Confessing Theft.

r Elizabeth City Special End, to Charlotte Oh
A sensation was sprung in the
North Carolina Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, which has been in session
here since Wednesday morning,
when a letter was read from
Rev. L. N. Booth, of Chowan
circuit, acknowledging that he
had Incorporated missionary
and conference funds amounting
to about 5000, that he had fled to
New Jersey and could not return
the money. Charges were i'm
mediately preferred and a trial
ordered. It is a bad case.
Booth, who was highly regarded
by his congregation and fellow
members of Conference, was
said to have left home four
weeks ago, without the knowl-
edge of the presiding elder, on
the plea that his invalid wife
was in a sanitarium in New Jer-
sey.
His congregation had recently
presented him with a fine horse
and buggy and a new suit of
clothes to wear to Conference.
Chowan circuit had paid all fnan-
cial claims.

"RED EARL" IS DEAD.
He Twice Held the Post of viceroy of
Ireland.

London, Aug. 13.-J. Poyntz Spencer,
fifth earl of Spencer, died here today.
He was born In 1885.
The earl twice held the posts Of vice
roy of Ireland anG president of the
council and was first lord of the ad-
rniraIty from 1892 to 1895. Up to 1907,
he was chancellor of the Victoria uni
versity.
Viscuunt Alt!inrph. half Irother of
the earl, succeeds to the title.
The earl never recovered from a par
alytic stroke, which he suffered in No
yember, 1905. He had another slight
seizure recently since which time he
gradually sank in health.
The "red earl" as he was called
on account of his flaming beard, was
one of the last of the early Victorian
political warriors. Perhaps the most
CONSPICUOUS services of his career, were
his two terms as lord lieutenant of Ire
land. He was an eyewitness Of the
Phoenix park assassination from a win
dow of the vice regal lodge.

KEEHNS BOUND OVER.
Fred Held on Murder Charge
August for Assault.

Seneca, Kan, Aug. 13.-The Keehn
preliminary hearing is closed At the
afternoon session Fred Keehn was
bound over to the district court on a
charge of murder and bota he and
August Keehn were bound over on
the charge of assault with intent to
kill Ferdinand Bleisner. The prelim
mary hearing was largely attended
and the result was watched with in
terest.
The defense examined eight wit
nesses: Mr.. and Mrs. John Freel, Mr..
and Mrs. William Graffa, Edward
Hackenburger, DR.. U. G. lies, Chester
Bleisner and Clarence Bleisner. Mrs.
Freel told of the assault of the
Keehn brothers. Fred and August,
upon Ferdinand Bleisner, and how the
son, William, stepped up to protect
his father and was killed by a shot
from a revolver in the hands of Fred
Keehn
While Mr.. Hackenburger was sworn
as one of the defenses witnesses, he
proved really to be of more import
ance to the state. His direct testi-
mony favored the defense, but under
the fire of questions from County At
torney Herold he quailed and became
confused. In the cross examination
he either repudiated every statement
or refused to answer questions. DR..
u. G. lies. the coroner, was called.
He told of being employed by the de-
Tense to examine Fred Keehn for
bruises and told of a number of
bruises upon different parts of the
person of Mr.. Keehn. He further
remarked that most of the bruises
gave evidence of having been inflicted
with a board. but afterwards admitted
that he could not exactly tell. He
admitted upon cross examination by
the county attorney that he had been
promised good pay by the defense for
his testimony.
Chester Bleisner. aged %, son of
Ferdinand Bleisner, was cultivating
corn in the field near the school house
on the afternoon of July 81. He heard
loud voices and went to the school
house to see the cause of the trouble.
He saw his father in trouble with the
Keehns and went to his assistance. He
was struck across the arm by chain
in the hands of one of the Keehn sis
tiers. He was also struck on the arm
by August Keehn. He then told of a
threat that had been made by August
Keehn that he would kill Ferdinand
Bleisner. His younger brother, Clar-
ence, was then called, but gave very
little testimony not already given. The
defense then rested.

TO RESTRAIN STRIKERS.
Manufacturers Ask That Walkout of
$4,000 Be Declared Unlawful.

New York, Aug. 13.-The striking
cloak makers in New York City
number more than so. 900 men and
women, according to brief submit
ted to the supreme court here by
their employers, who seek to have the
union restrained by a permanent in
junction.
The manufacturers ask the court to
declare the strike unlawful on the
tanning an illegal combination in strik-
ing against the open shop. The plain
tiffs, according to the representations
made to the court, produce 80 per
cent of the cloaks, suits and skirts
manufactured in the United States
and the investments of the employ
ers represent between $50, 100000 and
$60,0O0,OO0.
Because of the immense capital
and the number of persons involved"
the lawyers declare. the issues in this
contest are the most important ever
involved in a strike. The manufac-
turers are in a state of terror and II
the Injunction is not issued the strik-
ers will soon be practically in con-
troll of the cloak making business. The
situation is one bordering on an
archy."
Counsel for the union leaders say
in opposition to the granting of the
Injunction, that it would practically
wipe out trades unions in this state
They declare that the strikers are act
ing within their rights in refusing to
work with non-union men and also
in trying by peaceable means to in
duce the non-union men to Join the
ranks
The court will announce its decision
in a few days.

Dew COMES BACK.
Inspector Is at Father Point Awaiting
the ManitOba's Arrival.

Father Point, Que. Aug. 13.-Chief
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, who
a week ago Sunday boarded the steam
er Montrose off here and caused the
arrest of DR.. Hawley H. Crippen and
Ethel Clare Leneve in their fight from
London, today again made his appear
ance here in company with Chief Con-
stable Charles Gauvreau to await the
arrival of the Canadian Pacific railway
liner Lake Manitoba, due here about
o'clock this afternoon.
While the inspector did not make
public the reason for his desire to
meet the incoming liner, it is probable
he wishes to have plenty of time be-
fore the steamers arrival at Quebec to
confer with staff Sergeant Mitchell of
Scotland yard, who is on the Lake
Manitoba.
Sergeant Mitchell is bringing from
London the documents in the Crippen-
Leneve case necessary to the removal
of the prisoners to England. The Lake
Manitoba is due to arrive in Quebec
about O'Clock tomorrow morning.

its circumference.
Since the time of Euclid the ratio
has been supposed to be 3.1416 plus.
McGinnis says he knows just what the
plus" is. He says he has discovered
the exact root of all numbers and that
imperfect squares will be no more.
THE determination of an exact
value for pr is an impossibility," said
Prof. Wernicke "It has been con-
clusively proven that this ratio 3.1416
cannot be expressed as finite num-
Der. This has been demonstrated def
nitely so repeatedly that it can be ex-
planned to any ordinary student in the
course of two or three lectures. The
allegation of McGinnis along this line
Is an absurdity
"It is possible that he has discovered
some formula for the reduction of the
higher degree equations, as he asserts.
1t is probable, however, that he is only
able to do so to certain degree of
approximation. We have his mathe-
NAUTICAL treatise, entitled Algebra, the
Universal Solution for Numerical and
Literal Equations in the university IL
brary, and 1 do not consider it such a
marvellous work"
