Olds, of this city died early this morning at Southern Pines, where the young sufferer was taken Sunday afternoon. Death was scarcely unexpected, as tuberculosis with its clutches had been sapping the vitals of so fine a young fellow who bore promise of so much and was so uni versally beloved. Mr. Olds was IS years old this month. He had for about two years been a resident of Waco, Texas, where his home was with an older brother Fred Olds, Jr. Colonel Olds had spent several weeks with his son. having taken him to the -extreme western part of that state hoping for benefit and recuperation. The dread illness was only of short duration. The remains were brought to Raleigh this morning, and the interment will take place here. The state chartered the Sylva Lum ber Company, at Sylva, in Jackson county. Incorporators are E. L. Mc Kee. Sylva, C. J. and D. R. Harris. Dillsboro. The authorized capital stock is $15,000. The Carolina Manu facturing Company, Charlotte, amends its charter by increasing the capital stock to $10,000. J. H. Weddington is president and Dr. G. W. Graham is secretary. The Guilford Plaster Com pany, Greensboro, also amends its charter and changes the name to Guil ford Plaster and Cement Company, and is authorized an increase of capital stock from $20,000 to $30,000. a report in circulation here tonight to the effect that, when the case of Congressman Blackburn is taken up in Greensboro next month, District Attorney Lewis, of Virginia, will ap pear to take the lead in the prosecu tion. Judge Lewis at one time serv ed on the superior court bench in Vir ginia, and it is said that his ability as a prosecuting officer is recognized throughout the state. Judge Lewis also stands very high in the estima tion of department officials, but the names of several district attorneys are being considered and the selection of Judge Lewis is not final. It is under stood that friends of Congressman Blackburn have no objection to the district attorney from Virginia, al though this is, of course, a matter in which they have no voice. Senator Overman, in a measure at least, made out his case at the recen: meeting of the military affairs commit tee. The North Carolina senator has contended that General Leonard Wood had, in coming from the Philippines to the United States to undergo an operation at the government's expense, got money to which he was not f.n titled. It was the mileage allowance to which Senator Overman objected. Sec retary Taft was' invited to appear be fore the comittee and when he did so Senator Overman closely question ed him with respect to these mattors. In the course of the inquiry Secretary Taft admitted ihat General Wood, to gether with one of his aids, did re ceive some mileage and he said thai he directed that the matter be investi gated. The whole proceeding was in good part, and no friction arose be tween the secretary of war and any of the senators. After the hearing Secre tary Taft entered the senate chamber, when the secretary clapped the North Carolina senator on the shoulder, and the two laughed like two school boys about the hearing. Secretary Taft is foxy, and while a whole lot oL things have happened over in th Philippines, it is seldom that he lets, anything fall which would be of use to criticis ot tue government. Secretary Taft does not mind disporting hinise'.f about the sen ate chamber or in any other public nlqrv now that a thorough course of haz-nunchinsr or something has re sulted in a substantial reduction of flMR.

W. A. Hildebrand in Charlotte Observer. FOR AN ENTRANCE TO THE GOLF Pennsylvania Road to Acquire Control - of the L. and X. Greatest ' Coup Ever Undertaken by This Road. Pittsburg, Pa., March 28. From official sources it was learned here today that the Pennsylvania railroad Is about to execute, if It has not al ready underway, the greatest coup in automatic shot guns in the territories of the United States in the interest of the protection of game. Both sides to the controversy who were heard, en deavored to put the president on their side. The result was finally an effort to expunge the whole reference to the president from the hearings, but this the committee refused. This record will therefore contain first, a prepared article by President G. O. Shields, of the league of Amer ican sportsmen, which puts the presi dent squarely on record in favor of the campaign against repeating guns. Then when the opposition representing the manufacturers of small arms, inti mated that the president had repudiat- obtaining of an entrance to and an outlet from the Gulf, for the system which already operates or dominates the operation of over 20,000 miles of the most Important railroads east of Chicago. Expectation of participating largely In the traffic which is expected to flow into the Gulf ports when the Panama canal is completed; a desire to be come a factor in the expanding busi ness of the south, and equally potent as an influencing cause, the determi nation to checkmate moves in a southerly direction that have already been made by its great rivals, the Vanderbilt and the Wabash Inrests, are the great motives which have led the Pennsylvania to determine on its coup.

In connection with the contro versy the men representing the manu facturers of the guns in question read a letter dated February 10 addressed to Mr. Shields by President Roose velt as follows: "Sir' It appears that you have given an extended interview with me in quotations, putting my expressions in the first person, so as to make me re sponsible for both the fight and lan guage. This is inexcusable on your part. At the time you called upon me and I. talked over informally with you the question of the preservation of game and of wild life generally in its various aspects, I told you explicitly that while you could state that I was in hearty approval with your efforts, you were not to try to quote my lan guage, and subsequently I wrote to you repeating this. As a matter of fact, in what appears to be these quotations, you in no case gave the exact language that I used. "But pretending thus to give it, and by what you omit as well as what you Insert which I had not said, you con vey on certain points an entirely falsely impression, and you leave me no al ternation but to explicitly repudiate your . statement which I hereby do. Had you been content to say that you gave the general sense of what I saw vou would have done what you were authorized to do. Rut when you at tempt to give you my exact words not only do what I explicitly told you you should not do, but you used tempt to give my exact words you was in no case acccurate. Not one single sentence you quote is as I said it Some of the sentences are sheer inventions, others are inventions to part, and some of the things I said are omitted. "It is unnecessary to characterize such conduct on your part. Yours etc "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Representative Colle, of Ohio, a member of the committee remarked to Mr. Shields "Do you think the presi dent would trust himself in the woods without a repeating rifle?" Mr. Shields answered that he thought he would. Pennsylvania now dominates the Bal timore and Ohio, the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Norfolk and Western, and other roajls in this way the Penn sylvania will be the first of the eastern trunk lines to get its own.- or a con trolled line to the Gulf ports. - The operation of the Vanderbilts in the same direction, it is admitted, was what first excited the suspicions I of the Pennsylvania executives and finallv led them to determine on a checkmating plan. The first report that the Pennsyl vania was purchasing a controlling interest in the Louisville and Nash ville reached Pittsburg several weeks ago, but its full significance was no Ithen read. It was admitted by ; Pennsylvania official today, how.ver, that the great activity in Louisville stock and the evidence that it is changing hands in large blocks is J&trongly confirmative of the report that the Pennsylvania is acquiring us control. The Pennsylvania's southern expansion plans mapped out provide that in addition to being one of the Itwo strongest trunk lines between Chicago and New York, it mut also become one of the leading factors in the Gulf trade to and from the Great Lakes and the Central states, touchm New York, Buffalo, Pittsburg, Chicago. St, Louis, Cincinnati Louisville and New Orleans with an outlet running south from Cincinnati and the Louis ville, it is pointed out, the south could easily be reached by the Pennsylvania system from all the important points of the Great Lakes,, from the western Pennsylvania and West Virginia bit uminous coal territory, and from the manufacturing centres of which Pitts burg is foremost. national organization, which will per petuate, without distinction between north and south, the memory of those who fought on either side in that mem orable conflict. A score of states, from California, to Maine and from, Texas to Michigan were represented by near ly six hundred Teterans, who listened to an address from the view point of those who wore both uniforms. The utmost harmony prevailed and the key note of al! discussion was an earmest desire that the differences of the past, which were settled more than forty years ago, shall be forgotten in t the unity of the future.

MYSTERY PARTLY SOLVED GREENSBORO GOLD BRICK CASE Interest Revived by Appearance in Greensboro of Wife of One of the Criminals. There is considerable speculation here as to the object of the presence of Mrs. Hawley. of Chicago, wife of the gold brick man, now serving sen tence in the penitentiary for trying to swindle Paul Garrett into buying a gold brick in Greensboro several years ago. While the attorney formerly represented the gold brick swindlers say they have not seen the woman and do not believe she is here officers who know her declare that she has been here a week, and pointed her out while she was walking down Main street this morning. Ever since Hawley was sent to the penitentiary :H0,-.tioi nnrtips north have been trying to get him pardoned. Two ap peals were made to Governor Ay cock, and at the last term of the leg islature a tremendous pressure was brought to bear on him before he va cated the office of governor to grant a pardon. in tms pressure were nati to a point on the main line of the About 700 pupils who were in the pa Seaboard north of Atlanta.
