Allen and Wesley Edwards, hanlcutted
together and under guard of Baldwin

in Pulaski this morning waiting for

where to-morrow morning they will
be arraigned upon five Indictments,
charging rourler in connection with
the shooting of the judge and court
officials in the Carroli County tragedy

Wealey Breaks Dawa.
Wesley Edwards lost his stoicism
after reaching Pulaski this morning,
breaking down and weep.rig like a
chili. When the car bearing h!m and
his uncle was switched to the branch
train he seemed to real.ze for the
first time that he was being taken
back to the s<-ene of the crime in
which he participated aganst the
<c>urt officers it was some time be?
fore he < ouid compose h rnself. Cap?
tain Baldwin said it was the first tear
shed since the arrest, and he had
thought he would remain apparent?
ly Indifferent. S.dna Allen was ner?
vous, almost constantly twitching a
moustache which he had grown since
the crime, serving as a disguise to a
certain exter-.L
The car was closed to the curious, i
?ju:te a large number having gather?
ed at the station to see the prisoners.
A local newspaper representative apa
several men whom Mr. Baldwin knew
well were permitted to enter the car
during the stopover. No interview
was allowed with the pr soners. thojgn
ihey several times took part in the
general conversation. Sldna Ailen
looks nothinfr at a!', like the first pic?

easily accounts for detectives not

St. Petersburg-. September 32.?An
Investigation of conditions In Bul?

ment that that country |a on the eve
of a long-cherished war against Tur?
key. Unless the conferences which
the /Russian foreign minister, M. Sa

the upper hand. The army is already

tracks are guarded throughout their

tir,n..<! at the bridges and requisition
commissions are canvassing the fron?
tier towns. Preparations also have
bee nmadc to acquire ample provis?
ions. The situation U reflected in
business and foreign branch banks
have suspended credit.
The Pacific policy of King Ferdi?
nand Is now challenged by a systema?
tic propaganda for war. The mase
sacre of 152 Bulgarians by Turks in
August at Kotschana has stirred the
nation deeply. Meetings have been
held In all parts of Bulgaria, at which
Turkey has been fiercely denounced.
The lasurrection of the wild Al?
banian tribes has opened the eyea of
Greece and Servla. and for the first
I time Bulgaria faces the Turkish prob?
lem In accord with those two coun?
tries. More important, there is an
earnest conviction that the present In?
ternational situation offers the Bul?
garians the best < nances of success
because it thought that Austria will
now decline to move, owing to the In?
ternal relations o' the triple alliance.

"Let Emporia show him that If he

j Havana. .September 22.?It is felt
? generally here that Cuba is approach
i ing a crisis in its history as a re
I public. Two s'rious questions occupy
I the public mind:
Can Cuba survive the present state
I of her finances Can she hold an
t honest and orderly election for the
presidency with a loyal submission of
(the defeated party to the will of the
majority.
That the treasury is empty: that the
i last dollar of the $l?.5'j0,0e0 Speyer
: loan has beer, spent, while the work of
' sewering and paving Havana, the prin
[ clpai purpose for which the plan was
; authorized by the United States, is
I not only not half finished but in
I danger of interruption if not of a'r.an
; donment. that the government is at
' its wits end to find money to meet
its vast expenditures while receipts
from customs and the taxes have
reached their lowest point?all this
la asserted by the enemies of the
government, and most of It frankly
admitted by all. Kverywhere It is
asked, how long can this state of;
affairs continue? Last month the
government defaulted, for the first
time, on the account due to the sew -1
ering and paving contractors for work
done in July amounting to about -420.-;
I 000. The government declared that -
it had no more money. The contrac-,
I tors appealed to the American lega-1
j tlon. and sufficient pressure was
brought to bear to convince the gov
ernment that payment was impera?
tive. The foliowing day the money!
was forthcoming.
Gomes Realises Peril.
There has been much speculation
! as to whether the government will be
able to satisfy the claims of the con-:
i tractors due towards the end of this
I month, but there are indications that
j President Gomez, realizing fully the
[peril of another default, has made
[an extraordinary effort, and wlft be
! prepared to meet the obligation and
[thus tide over the crisis for another
month.
Tlie press continues to be filled with
pessimistic articles bewailing the 1
financial and political perils that hi- j
set the republic. Careful estimates |
show that the Gomes administration
has spent during its two and a half j
years of power at least $140.000.000. ;
Kxpert* deciar ? that the only hop? for j
Cuba lies In cutting down her expenses
M least r.O per cent.
The pres -nt aspects of the political
situation appears to justify reason- :
able expectations that General Mario
Menocal can carry the election, and '
especially as hi bas just formed an
alliance with trie wtng of the Liberal |
party under the leadership of General J
Ernesto Aebert, Governor of Havana j
Provtnes. Both Conservaties and Lib-j
? ral* are making strong bids for the-'
negro vote, the former endeavoring to f
ixcite the animosity of the negroes
against the Liberals on account of the :
fatalities to men of their race during j
the last Insurrection in Oriente, and
the latter endeavoring to placet* them \
by promisee of unconditional pardons j
to thousands of negro prisoner* now \
confined in Jails.
Verena* Are Split.
The Association of Veterans, under I
the leaderahip of General Errlllo j
Nunez, which has hitherto stood fast:
for nonpartisan purposes of the gov- :'
ernment and the ?Cubanlzation" of j
the civil service, now s ?ems to he ?n .
a way of being badly split along party ?
lines, but whether to the advantage
of one side or the other does not yet
app>ar. The election is to be held
November 1. and the new President
will be inaugurated May 20.

Martial law now extends along t ie

.stretch of eight miles between Caoi-i
and Paint Creeks, and a mile on either
? side of the mouth of each. It reach .-s
. up these two creeks in some cases

A trip through the district to-day
disclosed a state of armed peace. Th;

jf firearms captured some time ago,
? car half-filled with weapons of svry
conce'vable character is stocked ready
for movement from the strike zone to

Governor Glasscock to-day made
known a start on his plans for reme?
dial legislation to guard against labor
wars in the State. One of the greatest
? grievances of the miners is the mine
; guard system maintained by the oper
: a tors- The Governor ban prepared
Ian amendment to existing laws which
'has as its object the extinction of the
; mine guard system. His plan, which
will be submitted to the Legislature,
will make it unlawful for any cor?
poration, company, firm or person to
employ any armed person to perform
police or patrol duty of any sort in
the State, under certain stipulations.
One*provision is that the firms may
apply to the Governor to appoint cit?
izens of the State of good character to
act as special police, leaving it to the
discretion of the Governor to so ap?
point- The Circuit Court only Is au?
thorized to grant licenses to carry
?ieadly weapons. Companies whose
applications for guards are successful
must furnish a heavy bond to cover
any Injury or damage done through
such guards.
National mine leaders say the Gov?
ernor's proposed legislation ought to
prove effective.
Three thousand striking n.iners and
sympathisers marched through the
rain this afternoon to Montgomery.
W. Va. to hear speeches by Interna?
tional PresMent J. P. White. Vlce
President F. T. Hayes and Thomas
Carnes. leader of the West Virginia
miners. The speakers implored the
strikers to stand firm. Montgomery Is
outside of the martial law territory
?nd no attempt was made by the State
authorities to prevent the gathering.
President White said he saw no
prospect of ending the strike Imme?
diately. Unless the operators agree to
meet the union, he said the strike
would go on indefinitely.

FORMAL DEFIANCE
OF HOME RULE BIIL
Irish Unionists Prepare
to Register Their
Protests.
MAYBEPRELUDETO
GREAT REBELLION
'Ulster Day" Will Witness Re?
markable Political Sacrament
and "Covenant" Against Par?
liament?Plan May Be
Signed by Million De?
termined People.
London September 22.?On Saturday,
September 2s, Unionists of the north?
ern counties of Ireland propose to
! register the.r formai defiance of
, home rule. Gatherings in halls and
market places, even in Churches, the
men of l ister will sign a covenant
pledging themse.vts never to submit
to any government from Dublin which
may be impose! upon the country by
the Asqulth-Redmond home rule Jill
passed in the House of Commons,
j "Ulster day" is the designation
chosen for this remarkable political
sacrament. According to Its promo?
ters it will prove a show of detenn na?
tion so solemn and impressive that
the British Cabinet will hesitate long
before attempting to enforce its
' scheme for partial separation of Ire?
land from the United KingJom. But
; viewed through spectacles of anotner
political color, the affair is not to be
? taken seriously.
Home rule in its moderate form for
se'f-gov?rnment. instead of complete
separation for Ireland, has aroused .
, no deeper political feeling in England
j than other questions?the tariff, the
lords and Lloyds-George's taxation .
! measures. Indeed, most Englishmen'
I appear willing that Ireland should ,
have about all the power Involved in
; Mr. Redmond's program. If only the
i constant strife and racial bitterness
' can be ende!. But the stumbling
i block has developed In the Unionists
I of Ulster. Before they will submit
! to separation they will have civil war,
j their leaders threaten. Home rulers.,
! however, treat these threats with rid
j icule. Members of Parliament like
I Sir Edward Carson, an Irishman, and
f F. E. Smith, one of the most conspi
j cuous of the younger Conservatives,
who is not an Irishman, nave made
speeches in Parliament- and outside,
announcing freely that Ulster will
never recognize a home rule govern?
ment and urging the people to resist
It.
>?? Vet a Law.
The home rule bill has not become
law and the question arises whether
people may be dealt with for prepar
I ing to resist proposals which have
j not yet attained the final stage of law
I and may never attain it. I
Sir Edward Carson and F. E. Smith
I are to be the first to write their names
j to the "covenant" in Belfast Cttjr Hall,
j where the larg.-st a>? mbly is expected,
j Ulster enthusiasts say from Sda.SM to
l.OOO.'H'O will sign the declaration.
The Belfast corporation has requested
all employers to give Saturday to their
men as a "day of rest." The govern?
ing body of tsie Presbyterian Churcn
has issued a manifesto declaring that
the home rule bill threatens religious
freedom, and setting apart the day as
one for worship nnd prayer. The
"covenant" is to be signed on the gteps
of the Belfast Cathedral, and religious
services will be held there, as well as
In many Presbyterian. Methodist and
Church of Ireland places of w-orshlp in
Ulater
Unionist wimen have formulated a
draft of a declaration for members of
their sex to sign and are preparing
to demonstrate with the men.
The signing of the covenant may
prove the preli.de to a great rebellion
or it may be a flash !n th? pan. Two
years at best must elapse before home
rule can begin to he established, be?
cause the House of Lords can hold up
the bill for that time. The presen'
drift of political feeling Indicates that .
the Liberal party may go out of .?fflee
within that period.
Ulster Day. however, may be an ex-1
citing oceasion Great political tneet
ings in Belfast seldom pass without
.collisions between Or.ingemen and Hi?
bernians Winston Churchill escaped
being mobbed when he addressed a
; hrm- rule rally there this summer only

GIRL MAKES CONFESSION
> Pat PoUoi la Coffee to K1U lacle
and Aaat.
Lowell. Mass.. September 22-?Gladys
Newell, a girl of sixteen years, chars
ed with an attempt to murder Mr. and
Mrs Fred M. Jordan, the uncle and
aunt with whom she lived, confessed
to-day she put "Rough on Rats" in
their coffee because "they were her
enemies, and would not let her go to
her old home In New York."
Although badly frightened the girl
I? still unrepentant In her confession
she said:
"I decided last Monday that I would
hill my uncle and aunt. I wanted to
kill them because my aunt had been
very cross to me.
"A man In northern New York named
Bartlett wrote to me and told me how
I could kill my uncle and aunt with
poison so I could come to New York."
The police are trying to locate this
man to ascertain his motive, the girl
refusing to give his address.
After drinking their coffee Mr. and
Mrs. Jordan became verj ML A ph>
sician was called and found the cir?
cumstances *o suspicious that he noti?
fied the police.
The coffee was analyzed and the
i hemist found so much poison had
been put in it that the beverage be?
came an emetic and defeated the pur?
pose of the prisoner.
Superintendent of Police Welch
questioned the girl, who at first denied
any knowledge of the crime, but, after
being arrested and confronted with
positive proof of h< r guilt, broke down
and confessed.
It hi claimed that the girl's desire
to return to New York is the result
of alluring stories told to her by men
who were trying to get her to go
back.
FINAL DAY'S SENSATIONS
Aviator, Dlaguleed aa Woman. Gives
Chicago Real Thrill.
Chicago. September 22.?The tipping
over and rescue of eight spectators in
a launch, the disabling of two hydro?
aeroplanes far out in the lake and the
"pranks" ot an aviator dressed as a
woman brought Chicago s second an?
nual aviation meet to a close to-day.
Great crowds of people came to Grant
Park on the lake front, and were
startled to observe what appeared to
be a woman diving in a biplane almost
straight down from an altitude of C
000 feet, and then with her arms oft
the levers and flying as low as ten
feet over the heads of the spectators.
To make the scene more startling the
"?woman" flew out of the course and
skimmed up and down Michigan Ave?
nue, sending automobiles ia all direc?
tions to seek safety.
The "wcrr.ar." was Lincoln Beach?,
who had disguised himself for the
purpose of creating a new aerial sen?
sation for Chicago. So excited were
the spectators in a launch in the har?
bor that they all gathered at one
edge of the craft and It tipped over.
They were rescued by a tug.
Beckwith Havens, while driving a
: hydro-aeroplane with Stanley Twist
as a passenger, had a puncture in his
pontoon. Both men were picked up
as they were sinking. Anthony Jan
nus in a hydro-aeroplane had ? simi?
lar accident. His machine had to be
towed in.

I An official canvass of the vote cast
j In the Fourth Dintrlet primary on,
i Saturday will be necessary to deter
; mine the nominee. Both Representj
i tive Robert Turnbull and Judge Wal
. ter A. Watson claimed the nomina
; tion last night. Mr. Turnbull by lit)
I and Jinjge Wat60n by less than OSM
hundred. Four small precincts are
j missing?Briery, in Prince "Edward.
: and three in Mecklenburg.
I Because of the fact that conflict
! ing reports in many Instances were
j recelCed from the. same precincts and
i the apparent errors in transmitting
the result over the long distance tele
: nhone from remote quarters, it is dif?
ficult to state with any degree of
? ertainty who was nominated,
j Watsoa Figures Conservative. I
Ju-ige Watson's figures are probably
' the most conservative. His smana
sers stood by a telephone untii niid
j night last night, and while shack*
: ing over the vote they took the
smaller figure for their man when
two ipeorts had to be considered.
' Judge Watson said that the Briery
: precinct would not cast more than
fifteen votes and he conceded a ma?
jority there to his opponent. He e-x
j pected to break even with Mr.
; Turnbull in the missing Precincts of
' Mecklenburg, provided the vote was
? small, as predicted by his friends, al?
though Benjamin Harrison, Mr. Turn
> bull's manager, got unofficial reports
I that the Congressman would receive
j a majority of 400 In Mecklenburg ln
I stead of 229. conceded to him by Judse
; Watson. In that event he is nomi
? nated. There is nothing on which a
j comparison can be made,

Laake Bather lake Watsoa.
j A careful compilation of such re
! ports as The Ttmes-Dispatch was en
' abled to secure last night from ail
' save tour of the 118 precincts in the
; Fourth District would seem to indl
; cate the nomination of Judge Watson
! by a majority of from ten to forty
; votes. This may be increased or less
i ened. or may be turned into a snsu
; jepity foe "Representative TtirnbuJl
by carraetad returns.
Errors existing in the telephone and
1 telegraph reports tend toward con?
fusion and uncertainty. For instante
in the returns from Lunenburg
I County there are at least two maiu
; feat errors, since the figures do not
tally. Bui it would seem probable
> that the :eported majority there for
i Judge. Watson of sixty-seven is like?
ly to be correct. Still, th.-re are
; three separate reports from Rehoboth
! precinct. In i.unenburtt In a tele
pram from a correspondent of The
Ttsaen-Dtnpetcii, it is stated Rehoboth
gave Watson sixty-one majority.
Judpe Watson's manager heard from
. Blackstone that he carried it by for?
ty, and from Keysville that his ma?
jority there was only eleven.
Mecklenburg County also presents a
tangle With Major Ha.rison claim?
ing the county for Turn bull by l?t
majority, the detailed results are In
from all precincts, giving Mr. Turn
bull :2?. The three missing prrcincta
?Pearson's Store. Abbeville and
Wright's Store?are estimated to cast,
a total vote of sixty to sixty-five
Giving to Mr. Turnbull about th- sam ?
