KING DEAD Edwarl the Sercitk, tf Eiglud, Pisms to His Etcnal Reward — AFTER SHORT ILLNESS Surrounded by Queen Alexandra and Members of the Royal Family His Majesty Succumbed to Attack of Pneumonia Following Bronchitis. Prince of Whales Become King. 'King Edward VII. who returned to England from a vacation 10 days ago In the best of health died at ‘11:45 Friday night In the presence of his family <after an Illness of less than a week, which was serious hardly more than three days. fThe Prince of Whales succeeded to the crown immediately, according to the laws of the kingdom, without offlciail ceremony. Hiis first official act was to dispatch to the K>rd may or the announcement of his father’s '’enth, In pursuance of custom. His telegram read: “1 am de ply grieved to Inform vnu that my beloved father, the king, passed away peacefully at 11.45 tonight. < , (Signed) . ("George.” The physicians soon afterwards Is sued their offioial bulletin, which was es follows: < “May 6, 11.50 p. m. His majes ty, the king, breathed his last at M.45 tonic.ht in th' presence of her majesty. Queen Alexandra, PrLnce nd Princess of Wales, Princess Royal, the Duchess of Fife, Princess Victoria and Princess Louise, the Jtuchess of Argyll.” Pneumonia, following bronchitis is believed to have been the cause f death, but the doctors thus far > \ve refused to make a statement. Some of the king's friends are con vinced that worry over the critical nlitical situation which confronted him, with sleepless nights, aggra vated if it did not cause the fatal illness. Besides the nearest relatives In England, the Duke^of Fife and the Arehbishop of Canterbury were In t Ae death cham'ber. The king's broth- r r_ the Duke of CVmwaught, with his family, is at Sues, hastening home " om Africa. The kine's daughter. Queen Maud of Norway, will start T >r England at once. The intelligence that the end of ^ing Edward's reign had come w’as not a surprise at the last. The peo- : had been exptctlng to hear it nt any moment since the evening ‘"ilietin was posted at B-uckirghSm i.vlace and flashed throughout the 1 ngdoitt. The capital received It v ithout excitement, but sadly, for t^e kfctd with Ws own people was i.'iqupstionahly one of the most pop- rlar rulers In the world. Thfy re- ■rdefU’iIrn as one of the strongest f rces making for the stability of t e |>eafe of the emrpire. The fashionable restaurants were '■ st emptying and a few groups of ' te theatre-goers were making their w iv h^ii ward through the rain. die a small crowd still hung at>out t^e iiaiace, when the streets were t 'led suddenly with newslwiys shril- lv crying: “Death of the King!" The i npers were\ quickly seized and tbt i eo|d+' discVsed the momentous < ent quietly and scon dispersed. 'I he streets were desertvd by one o'clock. ( Within a few-moments after the death of tlie king the home office t legraphed the intelligtnce to the heads of other ^vernments and the <’plonrats and colonial offices over the world. Almost to the end, the King re- f- sed to take to his bed and wSs sit ting up Friday In a large chair, so l e paiace stories go, corroboratint the description of him as an unruly' 1 itient, wblA Dr. Ott gave at p Vienna review^" In the evening.

A Young Man, Who Claimed to Be From India, Is Charged With Ab ducting New York Girts. It was a strange story which De fective Callahan told in the New York police court Thursday in de scribing the raid dh Sunday Hon Ore Mystic Temple of “Om,” a young man who isxentered on the police records of Pierre A. Bernard, a na tive of India. \ “Om” was arraigned dh the charge of abduction after the detectives had found him in his luxuriously ap pointed house, where he taught phy sical culture and languages, sur- /rounded by a number of pupils, mostly young women. Some of his girl pupils said Bernard represented himself as a "swami” from India. ‘Miss Zela Hopp, a 19-year-oid milliner, who had been one of Ber nard's “students” told the police the secret signal at the door to ob tain admittance. “When I pushed open the parlor doors,” Callahan testified, "I saw H-rnard. He was- standing on a. glass globe that was on a hair mat tress In the center of the room. He was going through some peculiar motions and gyrations as he stood on the globe. Five girls and sev eral men, all in bathing suits, were gathered around bin? trying to re peat the movements.” ) Miss Hopp said she went to Ber nard's place last October and con sulted him about a method of cur ing her of heart weakness. Ber nard told her she must come to the place and stay for a time, which she did, first paying him, she testified, a fee of $ 1 00. 'Miss Hopp told the magistrate that Bernard had a peculiar influ- ciuv over her and that she believed he had hypnotized her. She de scribed things which perhaps hap pened after she went to the house and made grave charges against Bernard. j While she was In the place she met Miss Gertrude Levy, of Tacoma, Wash., another student”, and when she got out-ahe thought she ought to advise Mies Levy's sister, a Mrs. Hanford of Tat-oma, of what was going on. Her letters brought Mrs. Hanford to New York and the two women complained to the police. Bernard was held In |15,000 bail for another examination. MANY ARE DEAD As lie Resdt «f u Eartbquke at tie city af Cartsft, Porta Rico. A FEARFUL DISASTER A Large Part of the City Was De stroyed and Five Hundred or More People Were Killed, and Many Hundreds More Were More or Less Injured. \A dispatch from San Juan Del T. Brock, the assistant general, that was incurred by inspecting the mil itia of the State. It is charged by General Boyd that Colonel Brock has wasted the Sur, Nicaragua, says a large part ^ money-of the State. It la asked that Cartago, Costa Rico, was destroyed Wednesday night by a powerful seis mic movement. Details are very meagre, as the telegraph wires have been levelled between Sen Jose and Cartago. The operators at the latter plac£ were killed. The dispatch saysTt Is known that at least five hundred persons are dead and many hundreds are in jured. Scores of buildings were thrown down, among them the Pal ace of Justice, erected by Andrew Carnegie. IThe wife and child of Dr. Bocan- egra, the Guatemalan magistrate to the Central American Arbitration Court, have been killed. Panic reigns as the earthquake continues. Ban Jose has also been shaken, some of the buildings being damag ed, but no deaths are reported in that city. Some persons were slight ly injured. Earth shocks were also felt at several points in Nicaragua, near the Costa Rican frontier. Reports reaching here state that there Is much suffering and destitu tion at Cartago consequent upon the disaster. JOHN MATHIS FOUND GUILTY. DESERTED HER CHILDREN. And Left for Parts Unknown With Her Affinity. A supposed tragedy that had put the tongues of many in Rocky Mount. N. C., to wagging, when the report that Mts. Whitfield, young white woman, had drowned herself in Tar river, has resolved Itself Into a situation entirely different from was first reported and after a thor ough Investigation by the police of the city It was learned that the wo man had not gone near the river but that first reported and after a thor- the fact that she had run away from home with an “affinity,” leaving her four children, the oldest 12 years old, to the care of any person Into whose hands they might fall. The woman wrote Mayor Thorne, a letter stating that she was going to take her Iffe and after mailing the same she left the city with a man who had been paying her at tention heretofore. , The executive of the city placed the children under the care of a kind neighbor, while the father of the children, who resides in Nash •ounty, was notified of the proceed- use and told to send for the little Mies. The cause of the woman's actions It Is thought are due to the 'act that her husband had practi- ’ally deserted her and that their tonipstic relations had been far from pleasant. REUNION OF VETERANS.

It is Slayer of Dr. C. W. Hickman Must Bene Life Sentence. .John Mathis, a negro, was con victed of the murder of Dr. C. 'V. Hickman, at Augusta, Ga., on Wed nesday. The assassination of Dr. Hickman has been a sensation in Augusta for weeks. He was one of the most prominent citizens of ‘nat city, and a practicing physician of note. He called at the home of Ms brother, in Summerville, on Febru ary 2. at night. Leaving there, >n his return to his residence, a short distance away, lie was shot to dentn and his pockets were rifled. Among the articles stolen from his body was his watch. Two monHis later this negro Mathis, offered this watch in pawn. With this clue to guide them, the police threw a com plete chain of circumstantial evi dence about IMathls. During the trial the Court gave to the accused, as counsel, Ex-Con- greseman W. H. Finning and A. L. Franklin, a well known criminal lawyer. These attorneys by evi dence in which no name was men tioned, set it up that a "mysterious man" was seen to leave the scene of the murder the night of the assas sination. The counsel held that this "mys terious" personage was the murder er. In this way sufficient doubt was raised to secure from the jury the recommendation to mercy. HAD HOW ON TRAIN.

Colonel Brock’s other actions as an offlicer of the State be investigated. Both are In* the race for adjutant general. General 'Boyd recently at tacked Colonel Grock In a statement with reference to politics. Colonel Brock immediately asked for a court of inquiry. Governor Ansel refused to discuss the situation. The state ment follows: To the People of South Carolina: “W. T. Brock, my assistant dur ing the past several days, has spent several hundred dollars more than wus necessary in. making the In spections of the State militia. "He has .wantonly wasted the State’s money, and I hereby call upon him to give proof that he spent $12 and $33.50 (for two days) for hotel bills at at any hotel In South Car olina. “The United States has made the Inspections of the State militia for the past several years. His expen ses traveling over the same route as Colonel Brock's were as follows: 1907, $140; 1908, $144; 1909, $156.62. The first year that Col- onjel Brock made the Inspections of the State militia he spent $400. Last year he spent $420. This year he drew out $500. His accounts on the surface appear to be In a tangled condition. "I would like for him to explain the matter of lending the United States army officer who accompan ied him the sum of over $180. By what rlgWl did the State of South Carolina have to defray the expense of a regular United States army of ficer? His itemized accounts show that he claimed to have purchased four mileage books. I would like for him to show to the public of South Carolina where he traveled 4,000 miles in making the Inspec tions. “He has extravagantly spent the money of the gtate and his itemized statements of expense will not bear investigations. "I hereby call upon Governor An sel to appoint a court of Inquiry to make an Investigation of the ex pense accounts and other acts Col onel Brock has committed while In the service of the State as assistant adjutant general.

A string of sad little girls, his tools, and their angry mothers, his vic tims, corroborated his story. Harry's plan, as told by himself was to find some little girl on the street, alter her with news of how her father had just been elected president of a lodge, and then get the mother to borrow $3, $4 .or $5 from the corner grocer to buy flowers for a surprise to father when he camo home. Then Harry would offer to run to the orists with the money, but he never came back. With his pal, Arthur Gulden, 12 years old, Harry left home more than a week ago, fired with an ambition t£ go west, after having seen a thril ling moving picture show. COMMITS SUICIDE. Young Man Hangs Himself for Unknown Reason. Frank Smith, a highly esteemed young man, 25 years old, ended his life at Liberty Wednesday afternoon by strangulation. He was a son of J. P.

The Judge who signed the di vorce decree performed the wedding ers Make Most Revolting Discov* erics and Uncover the Vilest and Most Horrible of Traffics and Bring the Guilty Fiends to Justice. The New York World says white slavery in that city was shown to be a real, hideous fact In the last f<w days. The following proof of the above we take from the World: After three months of careful planning by District Attorney Whit man and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., foreman of a Grand Jury now in ses sion, four girls were bought In New York by an Asststant'Dlstrict-Attor- ney and two courageous ' women, graduates of Smith and Radcllffe Colleges, who had worked with the Rockefeller Grand jury on the cases. The girls were purchased In" the open market. The Histrict-Attor- ney has the receipts for the money paid for them. The were sold with the direct understanding that they were to be carried to Alaska for im moral purposes. They were sold as slaves, without any reservation, ac cording to the evidence in the pos session of the District-Attorney. \Each of the girls gave her age officially as sixteen and seventeen years old. One girl when found by the authorities cried bitterly for a half hour because she had been tak en so quickly from a home of vice that she did not bring her doll. Another Little girl cried equally hard for her Teddy bear. Three arrests have already been made In the cases and other arrests are predicted by the District-Attor ney within a short lime. The first was that of Harry Levenson. 27 years old, living at No. 16 Blast 3rd street. The District-Attorney charges that through the agency of Assistant District Attorney James B. Rey nolds, and the two college women two girls were purchased from him. The second arrest was that of Belle Moore, a negress, living at No. 348 West Forty-first street. The District Attorney charges that two white girls were purchased from her last week by the same agents. In connection with the woman's ar rest the District Attorney stated that not one-quarter of the facts could be made public at this time. Later In the evening Alex Ander son, who is employed In the Union Cafe in Broadway, near Fortieth street, and which is said by the offi cials to be under the management of George Consldine, was arrested. The officials admitted that warrants are out for several other persons, but said they did not expect any more arrests before morning. While the arrests were being made the police were searching all the hospitals In the city for an eleven year old girl, who had been bar gained for and who, It is declared, would have been sold but for the fact that she became so ill because of mlstreatement in an immoral re sort that she had to be sent to a hospital. There Is reason to be lieve that the girl has been found and will tell her story later, but her whereabouts are being kept se cret. The investigation was made by the grand jury and Mr Rockefeller, who each devoted a large sum of money lo the search for the root of the white slave trade. It was found for Jhem by two young college wo men who had devoted themselves to the interests of their distressed sla ters. They went to Alaska, where the traffic is fierce, and there got ac quainted with theunder world and with the people who traffleed In de bauchery. They got in touch with their cor- respondents In all parts of the coun try, and finally got letters to parties In New York, the state for which they were working. They returned home, took the district attorney's of fice into their confidence, and with a member of the grand Jury n&lled the traffleers beyond question, as reported gbove. In jLJpeech delivered* In the Sen- T ate Wednesday Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, attacked the meth ods of the department of justice In the matter of Its prosecution of-the cotton pool.

He said that the pro ceeding amounted to a usurpation of authority. Senator Simmons made bitter complaint agalnet a course which he the real cotton men In the light of speculators when the efforts had been In exactly the opposite direc tion. “■* “If the cotton spinners of the country wtil co-operate to the Muse line which the cotton spinners of the South are pursmng, all the ex change* of the country will be on a spot basis instead of a paper basis,' he said. He contended that contracta for future sales of cotton should be for a real and not a sham delivery." The Attorney General's attitude toward the price of cotton waa sharply crlticiced. He said that of ficial had attacked prices not be cause of the pool, but because he considered them a national evil. "He haa the whole matter wrong; price# are not abnormally high," said Mr. Blmmona, they are certain ly not above the level of prices fix ed by the tariff and In the interect of monopoly." He said there had been no protest from the Attorney General when ths boars had squeez ed $ 15 out of ths price of cotton. He contended that the high prices of the present day were dne to short crops and other natural causes. He said prices were not high enough, and be thought they would go high er. "And the Attorney General can- not prevent that, whatever proceed ings he mey- institute In the Inter ests of foreign buyers," he added. 'Mr. Simmons refused to concede this Government the right to inter fere with the purpose ot affecting the price of the (Uple. "It la as startling as it is unpatriotic and it is as unpatriotic as It is untenable," he declared, speaking of the Attor ney General's course. As our chief article of export, he declared, that the price ot cotton should be kept up. He said that while the South always would be the first to receive the benefit of any Increase the whole country would profit. Ala., aa a result of fir currlng Thursday o'clock.
