its appearance in my case some years
ago. One time while STOPPING at my
work, a sudden pain caught me in the
small of my back and can describe
the misery only by saying that it was
| like the thrust of knife For the
rest of that day was scarcely able to
move and ever after that suffered from
sharp, darting twinges through my
kidneys. Colds always made the trou-

Dinner Pail Found Beside Turned
Body in Remains Of Tobacco
Stemmerv

GoIdshoro. March S.-The charred
body Of an old woman was
found in the smouldering tobacco and
umbers of the Winstead Tobacco
stemmery, which twas destroyed by
fire Yesterday. Mr.. Jenkins, the man
aper of the factory, was confident tnat
all the employees were out OF the
building yesterday when it was in
flames. but last night it turned out
that an aged cOlOred m Abple
yelling, who was one OF the
stemmerS, had not returned to her
home. and a search Of the ruins this
morning located a charred body winch
is evidently hers.
A number Of the employees say
that the saw her come out of the
building when it caught on fire. and
that she then went back to get her
dinner bucket and coat, which was
supposed to be near the door,, and the
mes who saw her go in supposed she
came back out. and in the excitement
Of the fire she was forgotten. She
evidently found her dinner bucket and
then was overcome with smoke and
failed to find her way to the door, as
the bucket was lying beside her burn
ed body.
The heat from the burning build
ings was so intense that the bithulic
paving on the street in front Of the
building is badly damaged, and the

WEAR WHITE WHEN TRAVEL
ING AT NIGHT

A physician who has had a good deal
Of experience attending the victims OF
railroad wrecks sounds the knell Of
the black dressing gown. silk, muslin
or wool, no matter what the material,
so often worn by wOmen travelling
at night.
When travelling at night wOmen
should make it a point to wear white
even more than when sleeping safely
at home in their own BEDS" said this
doctor. More than once in my own
experience among the railroad wrecks
1 have known women wearing black
travelling nightgOwns Or dressing
own to be passed by in the search
for victims.
They had been made unconscious
by injury or else had tainted through
shock and fright: and nurses and doe
tors searching for victims failed to
find them simply because their care
fully donned black night robes made
them indistinguishable in the sur
rounding darkness"

1Rv the Associated Press

Los Angeles. Cal. March S.-Clar-

ly demanded a new trial, and District
Attorney John -. Freder!cks said he
would nave one. Judge w. NJ. Conley,
who presided, set March 81 as the

thirty-eight and a half hours for the
jury To report, seemed to regard the

He met reports that the prosecution
might not press the case again with
the declaration that he would not

Prosecution Disappointed.
The prosecution admittedly was dis
appointed. w. j. Ford, assistant dis

participate in a r~e-trial OF the case, as
he felt that a conviction was impOssi-
BILE. for the failure in the trial just
closed. Incidentally Ford made known
his intention to resign, but said this
decision was not due to the outcome of
the barrow trial.
Darrow's friends flocked about him,
grasped his hands. sympathized with
him over his failure to obtain AT ac-
Quittal and expressed the belief that
his third trial would end as he de-
sired. DarrOw's second trial occupied
fOrty-eight days-a little more thar
half the time consumed by the first
which ended in an acquittal after the
jurors had deliberated thirty-thre'
minutes.
In both cases, the allegations wer'
substantially the same, except hat il

Il. to Choose Team-ClaSs

Trinity College, Durham, March ;.
Prospects for a fine track team at
Trinity this ear are very
ing at the present time. Each after
noon scores Of men are u in the field
running and trying 10 get themselves,
in shape for the final meet which Will
be held on the campus during the al
ternoOn of Monday, Marcel II.
The movement for a track team
continuing to grow. Last year. II
, will be remembered, the Trinity team
participated in the meet at Raleigh
with disastrous result. The Organiza-
ton in Raleigh which financed the
meet last year wasxunwilling to back
tee project again this year, but con-
tracts are being prepared by which
the participating colleges will bind
themselves to pay their prOpOrtiOnate
share of the deficit shOuld there be
one This action assures the holding
of another meet to be held some time
during the early spring.
Trinity's varsity team is to be pick
ed from the men who enter the vari-
Gus events in the class field day meet.
The date for this annual affair has
just been set for Monday, March II,
and unless something unforeseen ariS-
es, will be held just as scheduled. The
cup given by the 'Tombs,' one Of the
secret organizations of the college, to
the winning class, was offered with
the provision that any class hat won
it for three successive years would
win it as q permanent possession. The
cup has already been won twice by
the class Of 1914, and if that class
wins again this year, the trophy will
be the permanent possession Of the
class. In view Of this fact, all the
classes of the college are putting forth
their strongest efforts to see that the
unions fail in their. efforts this yeaa
to capture the coveted prize.
