In a note de livered today by Ambassador Page at London, Secretary Bryan acknowledged receipt of Great Britain's preliminary (Special Star Telegram.) Kaleigh, X. C, Jan. 14. The State council of the North Carolina Farmers' Union decided today to center the at tention of the General Assembly, so far as the L'nion is concerned, upon four big issues: Rural credit system: land segregation, or permitting white communities tp limit their land sales to white people; repeal of the crop lien Continued From Page Five"-- the General Assembly of 1913 passed a ' Therefor resolution directing the Corporation I Commission with the assistance of the j Attorney .general to investigate tne f the ate Capt jesse Wilder was if the facts in the opinion of the Attor ney General warranted Federal action, In Memorlam. The following resolution in memory ion- onH q monanro frr tVio P-nvArnnflf.nt reply to the American protest against j q( c'0.operative enterprises. British interference with neutral com- ; They wui want 12 months time for merce. He expressed appreciation of the application of the crop lien law the friendlv spirit in which the pro- i "is- . . test has been received, and noted with satisfaction that principles of inter national law set forth in it had been accepted. Further comment, Mr. Bryan said, would be immature at this time in view of the intention of the British govern ment to reply in detail. Following is a paraphrase of the Secretary's note: Appreciates Spirit. "The friendly spirit in which the British government received the Amer ican note of December 28th, is appre ciated. No doubt is entertained by us that the cordial relations between the governments will continue pending diplomatic discussion. This govern ment notes with satisfaction that the principles of the international law as set forth in the American note are ac cepted by his majesty's government. As the original note is being examined with care by the British government with a view to replying further and in detail, it would seem premature for me to make further answer at this time. "It is the intention of this govern ment to consider in connection with the further reply of the British gov ernment the points raised by Sir Ed ward Grey, in connection with the pre liminary answer." were Dr. J3. Q. Alexander, Dr. J. M. Templeton, E. C. Faires, J. Z. Green, W. B. Gibson, Clarence Poe, C. C. Wright and R. W. H. Stone. Resolutions were adopted urging the use of tbs Torrens system of land titles and setting out that, whereas, some lawyers are. reported to-be ad vising farmers that such titles cost $100, the fact is, according to Attorney General BIckett, that the titles should not cost over $25, and asking that farmers patronize lawyers friendly to the Torrens system" SECRETARY BRYAN CHARGED WITH LENDING JUDGE W'HEDBEE HOLDS COURT. Short Session Adjourned Will Hold xt Week's Court in Iitt. ( Special Star Correspondence.) Greenville, N. ,C, Jan. 14. Owing to the sickness of Judge Connor, Governor Craig commissioned Judge Whedbee to hold this term of Pitt superior court. He convened court Monday jnorning but had a very short session as it was not expected there would be any court and all jurors had been notified not to attend. The principle business was signing ' orders and nearing motions, and as the lawyers were not prepared for much of this, he adjourned to Thursday, when he will take up busi ness again. '. Next week is for . criminal cases. Judge Whedbee has tto go to Burgaw to hold Pender court, but expects to finish up there in a day or two and be back here Wednesday. He will then take up the jail cases and thinks he can clear the docket of most of the cases by Saturday night. There are 14 prisoners in jail and will 'probably be more by that time. There are two capital cases on the docket. W. H. BRITT MUCH WASTED. (Continued from Page One.) so-called money trust?" asked Commis sioner Phelan. "He did," replied the witness. The Jarvis interests were piqued, he said, because the National City Bank had handled a $1,500,000 loan for the government in which Michelana acted as its agent. Vick A grain on Stand. ' Vick testified today that Secretary Bryan at the recommendation of Boas Long, until lately head of the Latin American department, "and a friend of J. G. Gray, who was a great friend of the Banco Nacional crowd"', had ap pointed Charles M. Johnston of Indian apolis as financial expert for the re public. "Bryan told me that Johnston would get $8,000 a year and expenses," said the witness. "Johnston was a flour salesman in Mexico and as far. as I know has never had any experience that would qualify him for the job. He's been down there six months and hasn't done a thing yet. I was in structed to pay his salary, but I re fused, because it would have been il legal under the terms of our conven- for him to certify the same to the prop er Federal authority. The report of Attorney General Bickett to the At torney General at Washington has just been made public, and fulfills the ex pectation, of this Chamber in recom mending suit to annul the sale and dis memberment of the road. "Resolved, That we strongly com mend the findings of the Attorney General and his action in recommend ing suit by the Federal government. "Resolved further, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Senators and Representatives from this State with the request that they use their efforts to procure prompt action by the Department of Justice." Urge Repeal of Justice Bill. The repeal of section nine of the Justice Freight Rate bill was urged by Mr. J. Allan Taylor in a resolution which was adopted after being sec onded by Mr. W. D. MacMillan, Jr., reading as follows: "This Chamber contemplates with no ; small hesitation the fact that the Jus- I tice Freight Rate bill nas proved open to all the indictments made against it, and that now by "common consent the commercial interests of the State de mand the repeal of the objectionable features. The representatives of this Chamber pointed out and persistently urged that Section nine of the bill, known as the Long and Short Haul Clause, was revolutionary in principle and would prove so in practice, and was the work of a theorist in blind dis regard of transportation principles and without advantage to any interest. "In view of the injustice of the bill as shown by its operation for several months, this Chamber urges the Gen eral Assembly to repeal Section nine and make any other amendments which experience has shown to be desirable and necessary "Resolved, That a copy of this reso lution be sent to Senator from this dis trict and Representative from this county with request that they take prompt action to carry it into effect." In connection with another matter Mr. Taylor called attention to the fact that Wilmington was the only city in the State that made a fight on the orig inal passage of the bill and that the short roads which are now urging the repeal of the long and short haul clause did not have a single represen tative at Raleigh during the last Leg islature. Want Corporations to Help. The following resolution was prepar ed by the Street and Wharves Commit tee at a meeting yesterday morning and after being read by the secretary was unanimously adopted: "Whereas, The Streets and Wharves Committee, of the Chamber of Com merce, have information that the At lantic Coast Line proposes to replace their present rail on Water street, from Dock street north with heavy rail, and that the Tidewater Power Co., propose to do the same thing with the track north of Fourth street, from the railroad bridge to Nixon street, and we are further advised that the City of tion with the republic.

Britt is wanted, not only at North Carolina points, but a telegram from Sheriff J. V. Gordon, of Orlando, Fla., states that lie has several warrants against Britt and that they are all for felonies. Sheriff Rowe replied that Britt would have to remain here. Britt is in jail awaiting a trial. He will face serious charges in this coun ty. Tt is alleged that he has forged a number of notes, in every instance signed by responsible Wilson county farmers and that he sold the notes to Mr. James H. Newsome, of Lucama. Mr. Newsome is out more than $v,000. So far eleven fraudulent notes, each for $215 have been reported. Others for lesser amounts have been heard of and the authorities think there are others!

Death has again visited the Chamber and removed from our midst one of our esteemed and most respected members, Mr. Jesse Wilder, the business community has' lost a good citizen and a man of sterling worth and character, pleasant and so cial in his intercourse with his fellows and friends, by whom he will indeed be missed. v "He served the Chamber as chair man of the Naval Stores committee for a number of years and the organiza tion has lost a valuable and useful member. His valiant service of four years in the Civil War is pleasantly re called by his comrades and friends. "Therefore, Be it Resolved, That the Chamber express to his relatives and friends deep regret at his loss and ten der to them our most sincere sympa thy in their bereavement. That a page in our minute books be inscribed to' his memory and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his relatives. "J. I. METTS, "J. W. BROOKS, "F. A. THOMPSON, "Committee." The following resolution was read by Mr. P. Pearsr.ll and adopted by the Chamber by a rising vote: "It is one of the regretable aspects of our lives that when a respected cit izen or loved one passes away we seemingly rush on with the tide of our affairs to all outward appearances, often times forgetful' of the one who has preceded us to the Great Beyond. We say seemingly, and so it really is often- than is true for no one can read the thoughts of another nor how much of sentiment there may be un expressed and often times a heartache that gives out no evidence. "Since our last meeting we have to lament the death of a useful and high ly . honored member of this body, the late G. J.- Boney, who passed away Jan uary 6th. His interest in the welfare of Wilmington and all of Its organi zations for usefulness As well known to you all. The fact that he had lived about the time allotted to man, accord ing to Holy Writ, reconciles us the more to his passing, or as far as our poor philosophy in such cases will carry us. "A sketch of Mr. Boney's life and connection with the buslness affairs of Wilmington was given more in detail inva recent issue of The Morning Star than this paper is intended to cover But in this connection it is proper to state that he came to Wilmington in 1873. He has been actively engaged in business in Wilmington since, as long as his health permitted. It is undoubt edly true that to him Is due the credit of the only successful operation of a grain mill in Wilmington, his partner being entirely engaged- in other mat ters, having ho direct management of this industry, which has added largely to Wilmington's commercial promi nence. "In his more vigorous days he was for many years interested in our city's politics especially, and in the politics of the party to which he belonged, not, we think, for any love of politics, cer tainly not for any gain therefrom, but from a desire to further our best in terests through that channel so often neglected by many of our people. "He was of a kindly disposition, frank and earnest and determined in what he believed to be right. He was equally opposed to that which was not good and was always ready to con tribute to any effort to put down evil and to promote that which was pure and just. "We have reason to believe that his private charities extended much fur ther often times than those nearest to him were aware of. Indeed, it is true that the good that lives after this man will be remembered and his frail ties soon forgotten. Therefore, we think It fitting that this Chamber should thus put on record some evi dence of its appreciation of his pres ence among us for so long, and an ac knowledgment of his usefulness as a business! mr.n and as a citizen.

COMMITTEE TO GO LATKB MUCH DEPENDS ON STEAMER MUDDLE (Continued from Page One.), involved in the transfer of the Dacia to the American flag and the use of the steamer to carry cotton to Ger many. "It is of importance to the Allies," the Post says, "that the Dacia should be stopped, but here we enter upon a question of law complicated by the declaration of London." The Post says the whole question is "thorny and difficult, the more so as it has certainly been contrived by Ger many to embroil Great Britain with the United States." The Post, concludes: "A simple way out of the whole difficulty is to de nounce the declaration and declare all the enemy's goods liable to capture. As the declaration has been repeatedly violated by the Germans in the pres ent war, notably in the case of the ships sunk by the German cruiser Em den, there could be no grievance to neutral pations in such a course." Senator Simmons Requested That They Postpone Trip to Wanhington. At the request of Senator Simmons in a personal letter to Mr. J. Allan Taylor, chairman of a committee ap- ! pointed to go to Washington for the purpose of discussing plans for begin ning work on the new Customs house building, the committee did not go to Washington yesterday as had been planned. Senator Simmons has been out of Washington for the past few days, be ing at his home at Newborn. He stated in his letter that he would take up the matter immediately after his ar rival in Washington. The committee is now most concern ed with tearing down the old building, since this could be started immedi ately and would furnish work for a large number of men. , KELT IN SWITZERLAND Avalanches in Alps Result From Earth Uuiver Villages Isolated . Geneva, Switz., Jan. 14 (via Paris). . Earthquake shocks in the Mount Blanco range and the Swiss and Italian Alps along the frontier yesterday morning caused huge avalanches which isolated Alpine villages and, destroyed forests. - From flve to seven feet of snow fell on the Bernina, Splugen and St. Gott hard passes. The snow is three feet deep in the Kngadine. Shocks also were experienced in the Piedmont towns and villages, but the damage there can not be learned as telegraph wires are down. Slighter shocks were felt even in the Tyrolese Alps.' CEMENT PRODUCES COMPANY. New Wilmington Concern That Will Manufacture Septic Tanks. The Cement Products Company is the name of a new Wilmington concern that will manufacture septic tanks and san itary privies. These are intended for suburban buildings of all kinds and are built to provide a sewage disposal plant at small cost. Mr, J. F. Harris, Jr., is general manager of the company, and Mr. H. DeW. Rapalje is sales engineer. A number of Wilmington business men are interested In the concern. The tanks are of two kinds, one be ing the septic tank outfit for use where the building is equipped , with water works and plumbing, and the other be ing the sanitary privy outfit, for build ings without waterworks.

C, Jan. 14, Greenville had a fine fire record last year. Out of risks aggregating near $150000 the act ual loss paid for was $3,325. This is a good city for. the insurance, companies. In 1914 there were 98 building, per mits issued, the amount for them being in round numbers $400,000. The per mits for 1913 ran much ahead of this number, and also in amounts. There were less than 20 fire alarms in 1914, anddamage occurred in com paratively fe)kv instances, not more than six or sevei, which has not only reduced the yield ibut greatly impaired the grade and it is of the first importance that the actual facts be made officially known at the earliest possible moment. "It Is customary for the Bureau to make no ginning report after January until March, which latter date is the final report for the crop year; and in view of the fact that the emergency of the situation has caused cotton to be ginned very rapidly, while unfavorable weather has undoubtedly resulted in the abandonment of a considerable por tion of the crop, it is obviously desira ble that there should be two ginning reports between February and March in order to disclose the true facts as to the volume of the crop. "Resolved, That the subject be brought to the attention of the prop er authorities, and that a copy of this action be certified to the Senators from this State with request that they take the matter up promptly and actively with the Department of Agriculture." Drainage Legislation. The following resolution was intro duced at the instance of the Agricul tural and Immigration Committee and unanimously adopted' "Whereas, There is now pending be fore the Congress of the United States a bill know.n as Senate Bill No. 6827 which relates to government aid and co-operation in the financing on favor able terms of drainage works undertak en under the laws of the several states, and "Whereas, The State of North Caro lina has a drainage law under which such districts are being formed, and "Whereas, The reclamation of wet lands in this State by the formation of drainage districts Is a work in. which the people of the State, are vitally in terested, and "Whereas, the proposed bill if enact ed into law will provide a means whereby, in many cases, the work of erecting drainage works may be fi nanced on a 4 per cent basis and be greatly tothe advantage of the peo ple of North Carolina, now, be it' "Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce of Wilmington, North Caro lina, endorse the proposed bill as to Sections Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, which relate to government aid in. the establishment of drainage: districts in ,the .several states; and that the secretary be in structed to furnish a copy of this res olution to the Senators and Represen tatives from North Carolina- and to write to each of them a letter urging Enjoyable Affair Given by Officers and Men of Street Department.

Others who made talks were Sheriff Cowan, Superintendent McAllister ,Mr. Percy Wells, Mr. J. O. Brown and a number of the other guests. All voted the occasion one of unal loyed pleasure. ,.
