Turner entered the-office of the Chief of Police yesterday and stirred a row 'with Chief of Police Koonce and Officer Mangum that developed the difficulty.

The outfit was destroyed and Barnes' placed under arrest.

This is the nrst still captured by revenue raiders for more than two months. The way this was being operated tends to verify the declaration of Col.

Agree With Statement That Enrased People Had Reason to Fear Would Ecape Deaft at Hands pt the 'Law. (Special Star Correspondence.) Goldsbord, Jan. 1 6. A gentleman from Grantham township in discussing the murder of Mr.

A T. Gurley, from that" section, stated that should anyone from that section have had a hand in the lynching of John Richards in this city last Tuesdav. it was probably caused by the pitiful ef fect the shock had upon the wife of Mrs. Gurley, who was in a delicate condition at the time her husband was murdered, and who, upon learning of his cruel death, was stricken with fits from the shock. "I also agree with the sheriff's state ment in some of the State papers to day in which he stated the provoca tion was great by the enraged people.

who had reason to fear that the negro Richards would escape death for his crime at the hands of the law," the gentleman stated. He said that during the year 1913, according to the court records of this county, there were three murders committed and none of the -men who were guilty of the deeds paid a life fcr feit. 1 remember well the Mount Olive incident the sheriff mentioned in t.is statement," he continued. "This negro muraerer, alter- having trouble -with a young white man at the Enterprise Lumber plant there, went off, got a gun, and, going deliberately shot me young man in cold blood. bneriit Edwards hurried to the scene and by a persuasive speech to a large number of men who wanted to lynch the negro, finally got him away and carried him to the county ail at uoiasDoro.

As stated by the sheriff, wnen triea, ne got only 14 years in the penitentiary. "A negro shot another from ambush in Goldsboro and when tried he got only a road sentence of about nine years. Another murder occurred at Mount Olive when one negro killed another and he is serving a snort sentence on the county roads.

Leading members of the Western Golf Association expect no war over the question of- accepting -free transportation to" California next summer at; the initiation of the Del Monte Country Club, despite the rather heated discussion: last night which preceded the award of. the amateur championship meet to the coast organization.

The BtcAdoo Dinner. Secretary McAdob's dinner party last night, with the Democratic members he ways and means committee and heads the House committees on merchant marine, currency and foreign affairs as Irfs guests, served as a vehicle for an informal review -pf the legislative situation. It was primarily a social gathering rather than a conference on National affairs but the conversation included some discussion Mexico, shipping legislation and revenue measures. Thergwas no attempt at any agreementupon a legislative programme. Chairman Alexander, of the House merchant marine committee, said tonight he wag ready to introduce the new government ship purchase bill, after repeated conference with Secretaries McAdoo, Redfield and others, that he would confer on the bill with President Wilcon Wednesday or Thursday and introduce it, at The merchant marine committee will immediately arrange hearings, probably next The bill would create a fund for government purchase of ships and for regulation of water borne traffic by a shipping board in the same manner as the In terstate Commerce Commission regulates the railroads.
