The south is energetic, and

These five men, northbound i
from Miami, got off the train
at Asheville, N. C, the other
day to pay their respects to the
governor: Judge Olvancy, Sur -
rogatc James V. Foley, Bernard
F. Gimbel, George Lc Boutil
lier, president of the Long
Island railroad, and Arthur
Koran,; all of New York. .
They all agree that North
f(X!ftrolina typifies, the .south and
JTV American progress generally.
"The whole state," said B. F.
Gimbel, "seems as closely built
up as the area between New
York and Philadelphia."
The Cannon towel mill, big
gest on earth, employs 5000
men and women. The well
known B. V. D. gentlemen, and !
the great Chicago firm of Mar
shall Field, have enormous
manufacturing plants in North
Carolina. Othor nutnulfactur
ing institutions spring up daily.
The state has water power
practically unlimited, at low.,
cost, an energetic working pop
ulation and extremely good liv

years, lit cioseu.
Society, this morning, executed
these remaining members of a
quartet of convicts who shot their
way out of the Oregon state prison
August 12, 1H2&, killing two guards.
Kelley was the first to enter the
gray walls of the death chamber.
He dropped through the trap at
8:31 o'clock und was pronounced
dead by Dr. II. L. Edwards, prison
physician, at SMIi.
Ten minutes later, at 8:M, Wll-
los was executed and pronounced
uciui ul i, . u.,.
shortly before the execution took
place, both men told newspaper
men that they were innocent of
the crime of murder. Willos was
visibly nervous, but Kelley was a
paiently unmoved at his impending
jIate -
te.
Kellev walked up the 13 steps
by the side of Father Thomas V.
Keenan, unassisted. Two guards
followed. He said nothing, hut
gripped the leather Rtrap on his
hands tightly us the black cap was
thrown over his head and the noose
adjusted.
His fellow conspiintor, Willos,
assumed a nonchalant air and
mounted the stops with a cigarette
In his mouth. A guard walked at
his eside. Father Keenan and an;
other guard followed.
JUBt before the hood was placed
on his head, Willos spat out his
cigarette, surveyed the faces stur
Ing up at him and said, dra
matically: "Well, I hope you will all be
satisfied."
The double harming was accom
plished in 35 minutes.

When newspaper men were re-
room Kelley declared he had noth
ing In particular to say, but would
answer any questinos.
Just before the interview ended,
however, he volunteered the state
men that, In his opinion, he had
not committed murder and that
never in his life had he been guilty
of any major crime.
He was well dressed In a gray
suit with blue line stripes and a
natty blue and red tie. He was
clean shaven, his eyes were clear.

Willos, too, was well dressed In
a brown suit with line stripes of
darker brown, hut his face showed
Hues from lack of projier sleep and
worry.
I'll to the very last, according
to Father Keenan, Wlllds expected
to escape death. He could not
seem to understand how the slate
could take his life for the part he
played In the crimp.

Ehrenfrled von Huenefeld were
delighted to see them and walked
down to tho short to greet them.
They posed for pictures, which
were rushed to New York by air

with the reporter.
The Germans were ln excellent
health and high spirits. Captain.
Koehl received a slight cut on the
forehead at the bump of the Bre-':
men's landing on tho Island's res
ervoir, but the wound was of no
moment and the baron escaped
injury entirely, as did their Irish
companion, Major James Fltz
maurlce, "It did not even force my
monocle out of its place," the
baron boasted with evident pride
In his careful English, '
The Germans were busily en
gaged ln doing what they could
to repair their plane, damaged
in the landing, and wero happy
In being close to the ship that had
I brought them safely on the tlrst
western airplane flight across the
north Atlantic.
The bleakness of their ice-bound
Island prison seemed entirely un
able to quench their buoyant
spirits.
Huron von Huenefeld sold that
tho hazardous flight which so
nearly ended In disaster would
hnve been worth while If for no
othor reason than that they might
experience the kindness and hos
pitality of tholr Island hosts.
Tho Germans wero making their
homo with Lighthouse Keeper Le
Tcmplcr and his large family.
Captain Koehl has become a
great favorite with the children
of tho . Island and they .(lock
around him as he fondles the
dogs they bring to show him.

were lnvltedfo lunch tn the llgh
house with the fliers and while
everyone ate heartily the baron
asked the reporter to mention es
pecially In his dispatches that the
lighthouse keeper In such a bleak
spot should get better food. Salt
pork and corned beef, he said, was
not enough for a family living n
such weather conditions.
