rife ferce, imbedding the three men
in the mess. The other men had
hairbreadth escapes by jumping rom

fell. The body of young Collins was
horribly mangled, having been hurled
with great force against a wagon,

High Point Re-
grets His Leaving
Rov. Thos. TrOtt
Quits AS Rector
.uocod Friction Causes Minister at
Al.T Ct Slary's to Resign-Been Here
Some lime.

pov Thomas L. Trott Sunday
d',,no preached his farewell SER
aor L,o to The congregation OF st. Mary S
nv iscona cnurcn o. Which he has been
hp o+or lor the past three years, he Civ
l'1 his resignation to the vesIry at a
no meeung as a result OF alleged
;n+,on that mad arisen with some
+,ombers OF the church.
Nv Trout as the theme of his fare
..om sermon took the story of the
,;dow and her son. He depicted the
'nd PROCESSION coming from out the
,ratos Of the Hebrew city, the bereaved
6s|otner leading the procession sorrow
!lr !' for her son, her only hope and
l"e.enre. the sum total OF ali her Ell
tnT+s and pains for two decades. Here
.oo NEEDED MIN most, and felt his loss
most, m he was bereft from her. He de-
n,ihpd the procession of friends and
relatives, and how the funeral party
~ thev passed through the gates of
the city encountered another process
,;on M headed by the Son of God. How
the Christ had compassion on the
Widows grief, and restored her son
70 life and the arms OF his mother
and friends.
The preacher drew d pdrdlleI 10
this and stated that never was man
nprfect. "When the last Judgment
Say shall come, is there any of US
who will not have to depend upon
the compassionate and forgiving spirit
Of the Omnipotent he asked.
Mr. Trott concluded his sermon by
EXPRESSING the wish that the congre-
cation he was about to leave might
be blessed with all spiritual and tenn
poral prosperity and happiness. The
sermon is regarded by many who were
present as one of the best ever deliv-
cred from St. Mary's pulpit.
The departing preacher has made
a multitude of friends here and has
taken a prominent part in religious
affairs, not only in his own church,
but in the city at large as well. He
has served as president of the High
Point Ministerial association for the
past year. His leaving, according to
expressions forthcoming today, will
be regretted throughout the day.
Mr.. Trott during his three years
ministry at st. .Mary's church has
succeeded in building it up to great
degree, and the many improvements,
including the parish house, are largely
the result of his initiative. -
The High Point Ministerial associa-
ton in its regular meeting Monday
adopted the following, resolution eX-
pressing their sincere regret at the
loss of their president, Thomas Lee
Trott:
"At the Pastors association this
morning the information was given
US that the Reverend Thomas Lee
Trott has resigned as rector of Saint
Mary's Episcopal church of this city
and that he will leave our city to
take up work elsewhere.
Gas his brethren in the Gospel we
wish to express our deep regret that
We shall not continue to have him
in our city and in our association, and
We want to assure him of our abiding
faith and confidence in him.
"The name of every minister pres
ent at the association today is signed
to this paper"

McCann Matched
 With Tender At
 Philly March 19

Billy McCann has been signed to fight Lew Tender in Philadelphia on March 19, according to word received from Dan Rogers, McCann's manager in the East.
 Tender is recognized as the big gun in lightweight cireles outside of Champ Benney himself and a win for Me Cam in his coming fight puts him right up close to a championship event
 On March 24 McCann drops back to Cleveland for a bout with Frankie Britt and then up to Buffalo for an- other bout. From all reports Billy is keeping busy in the Far East
 Last week McCann defeated Joe Tiplitz at Baltimore and the week previous he lost a 15-round decision to Jimmy Kane in New York city Newspaper clippings credit McCann with the fight. stating the least he should have been given was a draw Billy dropped Kane three times in the third round and once in the seventh. Kane opened McCann's eye in the twelfth, but the Irishman did not weaken when the gore spilled around the ring. McCann received a great boost from the seribes. who are anxi- ous to see him go again.
 Local fans will be interested in the outcome of the Tendier- McCann bout in Philly next week, as McCann is coming west in April and a win from Tender will make him a big drawing card

Pillow Sleepers Seek Six Months
 Postponing Of
 Gambling Cases
rRepubIIcan "A. p, Leased WireI


 CHICAGO, March 12.-Announce- ment today by the state that 9 six months postponement would be sought in the trial of the indicted Chicago White Sox players brought charges from defense attorneys that an attempt was being made to shelve the case and leave the indicted players permanently under a cloud of suspicion. The trial is scheduled to start Monday.
 The prosecution, however, declared that the delay would be sought to make certain that the men back of the series scandal were driven out of base ball and into the penitentiary."
 Judge R. J. Barrett, American league attorney said that the prosecution had found its evidence was not ready. New evidence being gathered would give the state an fmpregnable case, he said, and might result in a further grand jury investigation.
 He said known reluctance of some grand jury witnesses to stand by their testimony had made new evidence nec- essary. Judge Barrett scoffed at ru- mors that the case was being pigeon holed. To proceed now might make a farce of the case and result in guilty men escaping punishment. he said.
 T. D. Nash, attorney for Buck Weaver. Swede Risberg, Oscar Felsch and Fred McMullin, and Benedict Shortt, attorney for Claude Williams, Joe Jackson, and allied with D. P. Cas- sidy in the defense of Eddie Cicotte, said they would fight any attempt to procure a long delay. Two weeks or 30 days would be granted as matter of courtesy, they said.
 Jackson and Weaver said they op- posed even a short postponement
 Judge Landis, baseball commissioner placed all the indicted players on the ineligible list when he heard of the proposed postponement and said they would remain there pending the trial This bars them from playing organized baseball.
 Concerning the possibility of the grand jury evidence not being suffi- cient to obtain conviction, Judge c. A McDonald, who started the grand jury quiz, said that if witnesses repudiated their statements there might be some difficulty.
