Passed Worthless Paper-Held for
Hiphpr Court Etc

Especial to News and Observer.)
Wilson,, April S.-This morning
Deputy Sheriff NJ. c. Medlin, Of Wake
county, brought to Wilson George
Briggs, a young white man, who on
Christmas Eve last passed a worthless
check of j. NJ. Leath. a Wilson mer-
chant.
Ever since the occurrence Briggs
has given Wilson a wide berth. At
different times he has been seen in
nearby towns but when a search
was made for him he would fade
away
The Wake deputy made up his
mind to catch the 'hasher' if il took
all the summer and for the past two
or three days he has been hot on
at Willow Springs yesterday and
this morning.
The preliminary hearing was be-
fore Mayor Briggs and the slick one
is held in a justified bond for the
May term of Wilson Superior court.
This is not the first time that this
fellow has figured in crime in Wilson
having served a term on the roads
for the larceny of a watch. When the
Wilson authorities gets through with
him Wake county wants him on two
charges-for obtaining goods under
false pretense and for carrying q ON
ceaIed weapon.

The prisoners still think that their

Raleigh has the .'good-roads'' spirit,
and everything that is being done in
the way of adding to its sidewalks and
Is being watched with keen
interest. The hope of the people OF
Raleigh IS for the ultimate goal of the
city of the best streets in the State,
and in the last two years it has made
rapid strides in that direction.
Senator Lee S. Overman is in line to
help Raleigh in its good-rOads-wOrk,
land il he succeeds in his plan the road
he has in mind will prove of great
value, not alone to the city, but to
thousands Of people Of the State.
Senator Overman's project is this:
Ito nave the United States Government
to build a tarvia road, connecting Raj
eigh with the State Fair grounds, and
ne is pressing his on the government.
The basis of his plea is hat such a
road Will prove q great object lesson
to the students Of the A. &. NJ. Col
lege, and hat a. the government an
nually ~appropriates $500 to the 4. &
NJ. College, it would be doing a great
work for good roads in having this
tarvia Dad built; that young men
could see it's construction and it's value,
and assist in disseminating informal
ton about it throughout the State.
There is already a block of tarvia
roadway in the city, in front of the
Elks' Homo, and it is a most excellent
street.
Then there is another roadway that
is being urged; this by Congressman
POu. He is e~ndeavoring to have the
government build a modern macadam-
lied roadway from the city limits on
1.-THE east to the Federal Cemetery, just
as has been done in New Bern and in
Salisbury. This would connect up with
the streets Of Raleigh and make a
splendid driveway.
Alderman w. A. Cooper. the chair
man of the Street Committee is giving
all possible aid in presenting his mat
ter to the ~Oyernnent 1t is his de-
sire to have a modern road of the best
lind extending from the State Fair
grounds straight across the city and
out to the Federal Cemetery. In the
past two years he has made a splendid
record in street work in Raleigh, the
browning piece of work being the sheet
asphalt roadway roun the Capitol,
on Fayetteville street, and on Martin
street to the union depot. The fact is,
Alderman Cooper in the past two years
has had more good-rOad work done in
Raleigh than in all the past history OF
the city, and his friends are seriously
thinking Of calling him "Good-Roads'
Cooper. He deserves that name, as
the record of road and street work in
Raleigh for the past two years clearly
demonstrates.

Judge Tingier Has
 S85,0OO To Divide
Holds it as Trustee of Lorenzo Webster's Estate = Supreme
 Court Asked When and to Whom Money Should Co

Judge Lyman T. Tingier of Vernon, who is trustee of a fund of about 1000, the trust having been creat- ed, under the will of Lorenzo Webster, who died in Vernon on March 13,s 1902, formally presented two questions to the supreme court yesterday for de- ciSiOn. One question is when the trust should terminate, and to whom he should pay the money. After the ques- tions were presented, Judge Tingier left it for other lawyers representing different claimants to argue as to the rights and claims of their clients.
 The claimants to the money are Mrs. Etta l.. Webster Woodruff of Fitchburg, Mass. a granddaughter of MT Webster; her children, Viola Web ster Woodruff, Leona May Woodruff and Webster Clinton Woodruff. all minors, of Fitchburg. Mass. and who are represented in the action by their father, Dwight c. Woodruff of Fitch burg: Charles Phelps, as administrator of the estate of Nellie l.. Webster Fay, late of Vernon, William F. Fay and Fidella B. Ellis, both of Vernon; Maria Brown of Hartford, and Henry L.. Webster of Philadelphia. Mr. Web- ster died leaving will and the late Judge B. H. Bill of Rockville was named and qualified as executor He became trustee of the estate, and on September 2. 1904, after Judge Bill died, Judge Tingier succeeded him as trustee. The estate was inventoried at $7S96S.32, and it has been added to considerably since.
 Jerusha Webster. the widow of MT. Webster, his daughter Nellie l.. Web ster Fay, and Mrs. Estta L. Webster Woodruff, his granddaughter. were named as devisees under the will. The widow died on August F, 1902, and all of her estate went to her daughter, Mrs. Fay, who was her only heir-at- law. On June 13, 1907. the daughter Nellie was married to William F. Fay Subsequently she died. leaving a will, and her estate was settled in accord ance with the provisions of her will. No part of the interest which Mrs. Fay had in the trust estate of her father was inventoried as a part of her estate. nor was any part of the interest which Mrs Fay's mother of her husband inventoried as a part of Mrs Webster's estate. In the will which Mrs. Fay made, she provided for Mrs Ellis and Mrs Brown who are described as being her aunts. and for Mr. Webster, who is described as being her cousin, and the interest which they claim arises under this the two questions which Judge Tingier, as trustee, has asked the court to decide. Thomas F. Noone appeared as lawyer for Mrs. Woodruff; Judge John D. Fisk for her. children and their guardian thus constituting one branch of the claimants under the will of MT. Webster; and Charles Phelps of the estate of Mrs. Fay and for her husband, William F. Fay, and Mrs. Hilts Mrs. Brown and MT. Webster, who claim under the will of Mrs. Fay

Observing Feast
 Of Tat 3rnaCIeS
Special Services Tomorrow and
 Saturday---Festival of Israelites
 Like American Thanksgiving

This year the Feast of Tabernacles falls tomorrow evening and Saturday, and continues for seven days. The law Lev. XXIII: 34, 43) commands the Israelite to dwell in booths for seven days, beginning on the fifteenth day of the seventh month (Tishri) to remind him that God caused the chil- dren of Israel to dwell in booths when He led them out of the land of Egypt. The eighth day was ordained to be kept as a solemn assembly, This will be observed on the Friday even ing and Saturday following, October 13 and A.
 As part of the ceremonial of the day, the law ordains that the Israelite shall take on the first day of the fes- tival "the fruit of the goodly tree, the branches of palm trees, the boughs of thick-leaved trees and willows of the brook. and to rejoice before the Lord.'' This is observed, by bringing citron fruit, palm branch, myrtle and willow into the house of God. Tn the book of Nehemiah, VIII: 15, is a de- tailed description of the celebration of this festival in Biblical days.
 The festival is in intent and cere- monfal a thanksgiving festival inter twining gratitude for Gods mercy unto the people, of Israel amidst the nations of the world, swith thankful ness for his bounty and grace to each individual. It is the harvest festival and the earliest thanksgiving feast the type after which the American Thanksgiving Day was fashioned. The custom of dwelling in. temporary huts Or booths is not only to remind the Israelite of the wanderings of his an cestOrs in the wilderness, but also to recall to his mind that God has kept him throughout the year amidst all life's uncertainties.
 The festival has of late been used to encourage charity. The fruits of the field are brought into Gods house as sign of thankfulness and after the services are sent to the hospitals or the poor of the city The attempt has of late been made to have the children take central part in the observance of this festival. It is the custom of the synagogue to signalize the close of the holy days of the early autumn season by festivity thor oughly characteristic of the Jewish religion, known as Simchath Torah the rejoicing in the law" The last section of the pentateuchal weekly lessons is read on this day, and is followed immediately by the reading of the first part of Genesis.
 At the Temple Beth Israel on Char ter Oak avenue the festival will be observed by special services tomor- row evening at 7:45 o'clock and Satur- day morning at 10 o'clock. At the for mer service Rabbi H. w Ettelson's subject will be "Fallow Ground and at the latter "An Ancient Festival and It's Modern Significance"

U. s. Warships To Make Great Naval
 Mobilization Soon
Atlantic and Pacific Fleets Will Go Through Maneuvers to Show the Greatest Fighting Machine AfIOat
Especial from United Press.,ss

tOpeCidl lTOIn CH1teQ FIes8<jsff f
 Washington, Oct 5-It is believed here today that the great naval man. euvers and mobilization to be held in the Atlantic and Pacific next month are the results of the widespread in- ternational unrest apparent through out the world, and especially the strained situation in Europe.
 Students of international affairs be- one of the periodical stages when all races and nations become restless such period as some historians be- lieve always precedes a tremenedous upheaval. Throughout the world the nations now are. as if by common agreement. looking to the welfare of their defense power, according to re- ports.
 The uncertainty of the situation in Europe, with the vague possibility of developments that might involve any nation through some unexpected event. is fully realized by the government at Washington.
 Secretary Meyer denied today that there was any significance further training involved in such a move ment.
 The fact is, however, the usual long winter cruises, which are severe in wear and tear on the ships, have been abandoned and the big sea fighters will be kept close to home ports, near the navy yards and in perfect re- pair
 American naval authorities believe that the Atlantic battleship fleet is the most effective fighting machine afioat. They believe that great mobilization of these big ships in New York harbor will have a good effect all around-both at home and abroad. While all Europe is torn with war and rumors of war, Uncle Sam has decided to make a quiet display of the fact that he has not been idle '.in time of peace.'
 Whether there is any more definite reason for the mobliiza tions at New York and Los Angeles of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, could not be learn ed. but the impression was strong that the plan was adopted merely for it's moral effect on the international sit- uation.
 that the mobilization would be &C., compIished by a sudden order at a time previously not announced SO that ships would race to the point of concentration in war fashion. Later. he decided that such action might be misconstrued, and today he was still uncertain as to the exact plan of mobilization. It will take place early in November and. with President Taft to review the ships at New York, the occasion is expected to be made so notable that it will be a matter of news throughout the world.

President Gompers
 Warns Employers
Feeling of Unrest Quite Pro- nounced Among Working
 men of the West
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, Oct. 5.-s1 found the spirit of unrest among the working men of the west far more pronounced than I expected and no one can tell what will happen" said President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, today, following his return from the Pacific. coast.
 "The recent strikes in England and Ireland are apt to be duplicated here if employers continue to refuse to meet the representatives of the work ingmen,'' he continued.
 While in Los Angeles I had a conference with the McNamara broth CTS and l am more than ever con- vinced that they are the victims Of a diabolical plot. If there ever was a doubt in my mind as to their inno- cence it was dispelled after my talk with them. True, the sentiment in Los Angeles is strong against them on account of Detective Burns trying their cases in the newspapers and magazines but the people are begin ming to give the case second thought and as consequence turn ing in their favor.
 ssThe American Federation of La Dor will stand by them until the end. r mconfident that when the true state of affairs isioshown, organized labor will be praised for the stand it has taken"

Seaview, Ida and Bridgeport lodge, and for what wass'said by the guests of the evening, Past Supreme Warden Frank w. Rice of Boston and Supreme Vice Warden Frank E. Hill of New Haven. Supreme Warden David Sherwood of Providence, R. T., was unable to be present, much to the regret of all. While MT. Rice told of the early history of the order he also devoted much attention to the recent raise in rates, telling why they were necessary and what they had done. He said that the order was securing a surplus fund now as required by law and the recent raise in rates had proved highly beneficial and that no further raise would ever be necessary unless it was required by the law. MT. Hill advised all to possess confidence in the order and have enthusiasm in it's future so as to work hard for it. Grand Vice Warden James l.. Christie of Bridge port dwelt upon the necessity of pay ing assessm ents promptly and urged upon all to attend at least one meet ing night a month. Joseph Clabby sang several solos in his usual ac- ceptable manner. Ice cream and cake were served and a social dance closed the evening.
