' OPPONENTS ENTER BATTLE CONFIDENT Think They Have Enough Votes to Carry Point. — Second Time They Have Voted on Nomination. (By the Associated Press) Washington, March 16 The senate more forward today in probably the final arrangements of its battle over the nomi nation of Charles B. Warren at attorney general with the opposition forces direct ing their strategy chiefly to President Coolidge’s challenge of a recess appoint ment for Mr. Warren in .case of second rejection of his nomination. The unanimous consent agreement for a vo'te-on confirmation at 2:30 p. m. left only, four hours for debate from the time the senate /convened at 10:30 o’clock. An equal division of time between sup porters and opponents, with each speak er limited to 30 minutes was the, ar rangement under agreement. -t : Confident that they held a margin of from three to six votes with which to de feat nomination for the second time, a claim that administration leaders were not disposed to dispute, the opposition forces were laying plans for another test of strength after the vote. Expectant of another scene rivalling in dramatic qualities that of last Tues day when the Warren nomination was rejected on a tie vote, crowds had gath ered for admission to the senate galleries for more than an hour before the time fixed for the sennte to convene. Gathering of spectators approximated the scene of an inauguration day. Sev eral hundreds of persons, mostly women, swarmed the corridors or eat on their .stairs near the public gallery long be fore the,doors were opened, and rushed fftr seats of the galleries. Special galleries for senators families also filled early, and many jofinbers who have floor seats took seats ln- the,. rear of the senate chamber.. FMey Debase In S*M*e <W Nomhwtlon. Washington .March 16. —In a Arey de bate freighted with the accumulated bit; terness of a long distroy making struggle, ~ the Senate today approached ,a second vote on the rejected nomiuetmo of Chas.

President (’oolidge’s announcement that he would offer a recess appointment to Mr. Warren if he again fails of confirm ation fired the opposition with a new and flaming determination and inspired the democrats and republican insurgents to direct many of their rapier thrusts at the President himself.

FALL GAINS POINT IN THE TEAPOT DOME LEASE SUIT Evidence Intended to Show Secret of Fall’s Bank Account Barred by Pre siding Judge. (By the AMoelafed Press) Clif’yeqne, March 15.—Evidences in tended to reveal the secret of the bank accounts of Ablert B. Fall, former secre tary of the interior, were barred from the record in the Teapot Dome lease auuui ment suit here today. The rule barring the evidence handed down by Federal Judge T. Blake Ken nedy, deprives the government of its only known means of attempting to prove an exchange of Liberty bonds between Fall and Harry F. Sinclair, whose Mamnjoth Oil Company was given the lease on the big Wyoming oil reserve. Judge Kennedy’s ruling left the gov ernment’s case up in the nir so com pletely that a recess of ten minutes was allowed to 'permit Owen J. Roberts and Atlee Pomerene, government counsel, to get their remaining witnesses into shap^. In a lengthy prelude to his decision Judge Kennedy quoted from rulings on similar proeeedure made by the eighth, fourth and second circuit court of appeals laying street on precedent upheld in the eighth circuit under which jurisdiction the Cheyenne court falls. Judge Kennedy referred to the matter as involving something of unusual im portance to the plaintiff's ease, but that as the matter stands, it was manifestly incompetent and would be barred until such time as was shown to be compe tent. After the recess Attorney Roberts an non n, ed that he would reverse the pro cepdure previous r followed in the ht tcinpt to show the alleged passage of bonds between Sinclair and Fall by trao ; irg the bonds from Sinclair to h'all. in stead of from the former Sec ctary to the 1 rad of the tonne: Oil empany. The court ha! warned Roberts he was ap proaching the ncHter from tn ■ back door.

The stated fact that a "party down the line is scheduled to occupy this bertji,” did not deter her. The traveling salesman, who had re served the “lower” in question, boarded the train. He was confronted by the tale of woe of the porter and conductor. But he wasn’t pleased. Discarding his hat, coat, collar and— er shoes, he threw them in the berth and said in effect: “Lady, that’s my berth and I’m sure going to take it.

Boxing Laws Still Stand. Raleigh, March 16.—The general as sembly adjourned without having debat ed the repeal of laws permitting boxing matches in North Carolina. Although there was introduced a bill providing for the repeal of all existing laws permit ting legalized boxing, it died in commit tee and was never brought to the floor of the general assembly. Prior to the convening of the general assembly it was thought that there would be a fight made on this point. Several denominational gatherings had parsed • resolutions asking for repeal legislation i and a fight was expected. However, , none developed. i As a matter of fact, the facilities for legalized boxing were broadened. There was appointed, 'for instance, a boxing commieaiop for Kinston, and in framing the revenue bill provision was made for taxing boxing matches for the support of the state.

Raleigh, March 14.—• One hears on all sides the statement: “I’m glad tlie' general assembly is over.” Yes, and that’s not all. Every one is. particularly the legislators themselves and newspaper folks. But another phrase is on the tongue of everyone, nearly. It runs like this: “Have you ever seen a general assem bly which did less than this one? Why, thej haven't done a darn thing except turn hot air and enact fool laws, and this'-’ only "one»'' worth passing ‘ they killed. Some bunch of nuts.” That is just what many thoughtless persons are saying every day. That is what they began saying many days ago ami that is what they could say without fear of contradiction Tuesday night, when the solons Wound up their efforts and prepared to go home to keep from going entirely bughouse. But the general assembly did do a few things to send it down in history as a memorable turning point in the history of the state. For the first time in history the state is on a bud get system and each department and sub division will have to live within its bud get allowance. Apropriations had been limited up to this time but no such sys tem, as Governor McLean has now at his < fingers’ tips due to the enactment of sev eral administration measures, existed be fore. This is to be a business man’s ad ministration. And the public wijj have to admit that th egeneral assembly did pass these measures. The people will get a chance to show their mettle sometime soon. The gen eral assembly has passed a law allowing a referendum as to the inauguration date of the future governors, moviug the date up so that the chief executive can get ac quainted with his coming responsibili ties prior to the assembling of the solons in Raleigh. Will the people follow. the good sense of the legislature of 1925 and paiss it? These two measures ate constructive and can be used by any friend of the gen eral assembly who doesn't know how to answer the general criticisms of the av erage man. The legislature always has a few mis fits, a few freaks, a few members who know nothing hnd less when they have i been in Raleigh 60 or more days.- To • show that there are men who will make mistakes, men who play pranks on other legislators, a statute, now a law. follows: “It shall be unlawful for any sheep • dogs, male or female, men, corporations, ■ Companies, to run at large in Jilltciiell : county, between the hours of sunset and : sunrise.” ' S. J. Turner, of Bakersville, concocted • the original, bill and a house committee • hinivrct sly put in a few aniej inns .:i.d 1 the blooming thing passed both branches. Here's another gem: I “It shall be unlawful to bathe on Sun • day” in a certain county, x>f course. This i mistake in language was noticed and the I hill did not pass. The lawmaker was 1 from down east and didn’t know how to • frame a bill. He wanted to, stop suit and pond swimming on Sunday in his '•minty. He failed to use the proper language, however. _ , . ■ ■ Pernor.De La Torrlente to Retire.

Old crop positions were rela tively steady in sympathy with firmer Liverpool cables and talk of firmer tech nical position after the decline of last week.
