PROSECUTING GOAD.

Those who threatening to prosecute Clerk
Of Court Dexter Goad, of Carroll county. for
perjury, in connection with the Allen murder
trials are unfortunate in their selection of a
time to begin proceedings They put them
selves in the position before the public, of
seeking vengeance for the Aliens rather than
vindication Of the law
Goad Is the sole survivor OF the court Floyd
Allen swore he would shoot up" If he was
convicted and sentenced for rescuing his
ncI hews from custody of the law and disarn-
ing and beating one of the officers who had
rem in keeping. Goad was the one member
Of the court LEFT alive and conscious after the
first volley in the court room He is the man
who shot Floyd Allen, causing him to be cap
tured He was one OF the chief witnesses for
the State, The hate Of the Allen sympathizers
from the Allen revolvers was concentrated on
him. He was shot twice and eleven bullet holes
were IN his clothes.
Months have passed since the last Of the
Allen trials. Clerk Goad has been at the Car
roll county court room. in his Office. every
working day At least one term Of court has
been held at Wytheville. No move to arrest and
prosecute Goad has been made until now when
the governor has refused to commute the SEN
fences Of Floyd and Claude Allen. Immediately
after the refusal we have a furious outburst of
threats against Goad, Of declarations that he
shall be prosecuted for an alleged perjury
months cid.
The public viii ask naturally and properly
why Goad has not been prosecuted heretofore
Perjury is serious crIme--especlally perjury in
open court in trial involving q mans life. The
prosecution and conviction for perjury Of
coad-leadine witness for the state-wouId
have been of obvious and important help to the
Aliens Yet no movement toward prosecution
was made. Aside from the hearing of Goad's
evidence against the Aliens 1t is the duty of any
citizen, knowing that crime 80 grave has been
committed To put the facts before the prose
cutting officers and insist that proceedings be
taken Goad has had ample time to sell all his
belongings and leave the State while the sup
posed evidence against him has been slumbering
and those who say they have 1t stood inactive.
from this state Of facts the public will shape its
own conclusions.

however, courage more genuine or more gem

OF Baltimore. master of the tug Atlantic who
was killed when the tramp steamer Alum Chine
exploded in lower Baltimore harbor last Fri
day. The Atlantic had cut loose from the
steamer carrying many. stevedores and sailors
and was racing for safety. Two sailors who had
been below and left behind appeared on the
vessel was afire and known to have in her
hold 800 tons of dynamite. A terrific explosion
was certain. Captain Van Dyke turned the At

two men of whom he knew nothing but that
they were men and in deadly peril from which
he might save them The explosion came and
the captain crushed and torn to death

question, deliberate, self-saorihcing, magnificent
History has no record of finer deed
Mr.. Carnegie has done nothing better with
any of his millions than the establishment Of
his hero fund for such instances as this. 1t is
a comfort to think that Captain Van Dykes
widow and son will be provided for from that
fund. The public forgets fast In the first rush
Of feeling after calamity gifts flow in freely
but in a few days they dwindle, and appeals
for other causes come and the final results are
likely to be pitifully inadequate to the needs
The victims of the Alum Chine disaster were
many and the division of what may be collected
will be long. 1t is safe to say. judging by pre-
cedent, that the provision for Mrs Van Dyke
from the Carnegie fund will be enough to
protect her from want and to educate her boy.

New York, Sept. 27.-Football teams
representing the leading universities
of the country will swing into action
today and before dusk king football
will, have made his 1918 debut on
many a gridiron.
Although several Of the smaller col
1ege elevens appeared in easy games
last week, the majority of the big
teams reserved their initial appearance
for the last Saturday in September.
In the east, Pennsylvania, Princeton
and Harvard, all step from the prac-
tice to the actual playing stage, while
in the middle west, Minnesota will
lead the way for the other conference
college teams.
In no case is a varsity eleven called
upon to- face a really. dangerous OPP
ponent, yet tomorrow's results will be
watched closely as giving an indica-
ton of the teams possibilities. The
results of the slight changes in the
playing rules also will be watched, so
that coaches may be familiar with new
developments possible. #.#.
Much interest will attach to Har-
wards opening game. The eastern
championship eleven Of last autumn,
while not intact, still has many repre-
sentatives upon the crimson squad of
this year. Many promising players
also are seeking places. Captain Stor-
err will try out a number Of men dur
ing the game with the University of

Maine, and a better idea Of the rank
ing of the present squad will be OBJ
tainable by nightfall.
Princeton appears to have one OF
the hardest games of the day in the
east against Rutgers, as very favorable
reports have been heard regarding the
latter's football prospects. Pennsyl=
vania faces Gettysburg, but the latter
does not appear any more formidable
than last year when it was defeat
ed by a IS to 0 score.
The same statement does not hold
true in reference to Cornell, for the
Ithica team must face Collegiate, which
defeated Cornell IS to Z last season,
but Coach Sharpe has better material
and an established system, so that
while a close game is expected Cornell
adherents do not anticipate a repet1-
ton of the 1912 setback.
In the south the University Of Vir-
ginia will open with a game against
Randolph-Macon, and West Virginia
Wesleyan will journey to Carlisle, Pa,
for a game with Glenn Warmers In
dams. The Naval academy team will
not open it's season for another week,
and the same holds true of the Army
at West Point. The cadets were
scheduled to meet Norwich university
tomorrow, out the death of Werner S.
BeIyea, left halfback on the Norwich
team, as a result of injuries received
in the game with Holy Cross on We'd
nesday, caused the game to be called.

Chess AMONG
THE JURISTS

Brooklyn Eagle. June rs: Among
the members of the bench who are
well known to have or to have had
a decided prediction for chess are
Justice Mahlon Pitney of the United
States, supreme court, Justices Black
mar and Marean of Brooklyn and
Judge Scripture of Syracuse. There
may be added to this list, which is by
no means complete, the name Of Hon.
Edward T. Burke, an associate justice
of the supreme court of North Dakota.
Justice Burke lives in Bismarck and
was anxious to have Frank J. Mar
shall Of Brooklyn visit there. Unfor-
tunately, the United States cham
pion's tour to the Pacific coast was
not timed just right for that rpo
so that he will nave to stop at Bis
marck on his next trip. Recently,
Justice Burke was a participant in a
match by telegraph between Bismarck
and Fargo n was paired against E.
G.. Fleming of the latter place. The
game produced was typical of the
chess played in that state and resulted
in a draw. The jurist, against a. Pc
troff defense, obtained somewhat the
upper hand, but, playing too conserv-
atlve1y, did not succeed in flooring his
antagonist. The score follows:
