SORT OF SENSATION SPRUNG IN SENATE iCcntinued I rem Page O.n. . tion. and he moved that the bill be placed on the calendar. This was done. Senator Cooper would name Cuthbert . : Martin as a member of the New Hano- ver School Board and Representative Ktacy would reappoint J. O. Carr. Sen- . ator Cooper intimated that he had been willing to let the board of education wrestle' with this local fight, but that - Mr. Stacy had rushed his bill through the House. He said he was willing for the question to be decided outside of . the Senate. Mr. Stacy calls attention to the fact '. that his bill appointing Carr was held .for days in committee and two dates ' set for Senator Cooper to come before the committee and present his side of the affair. Following final approval of three re maining sections of the revenue bill, . the House this afternoon formally pass- ed the bill on second roll call reading and it took its place on the calendar for final reading tomorrow, and Speaker Wooten and Chairman Dough-ton. in charge of the bill for the joint finance committee, agreed this' afternoon that the bill can go immediately to the Sen ate tomorrow afternoon without any engrossment, there being so few chan . gee In the bill in its passage through the House that engrossment can be dis pense dwith. The House in committee of the whole . adopted the Mintz amendment to sec tion 57 of the revenue bill, ' changing f the special tax on newspaper circula v tion contests from $50 for weeklies and $150 for dailies to $10 for weeklies and $25 for .dailies, and -voted down an . amendment by Williams, of Cabarrus, . designed to allow counties to xax..illu ; . ruinating oil companies in addition to . the State inspection tax. -"; 'iV ' Other amendments gave the State - Treasurer $2,500 for enforcing collec tions of taxes and $6,000 instead of $2,- BOO to the State auditor for enforcing the machinery act. The vote on passage of the revenue .bill was unanimous except that Bryan, of Wilkes Republican, asked to be ex : cused from voting on -the ground that . there were features of "the bill that ne . could not-endorse. , Twenty-six new bills were introduc . d in the House, all purely local or un- - important. The Currie dog tax. bill, allowing 4 county commissioners of any county to levy in their discretion a tax of $1 to . $2 on dogs for school or other purpose, was passed and- sent' to the Senate. . There were 18 new bills in the Seni . ate, including one by Thompson, of Onslow, to provide for a fish commis sioner and an oyster commissioner to safeguard the deep sea fisheries in North Carolina. Tax AHMHnciit. The final draft of the" tax assessment machinery section of the machinery bill was adopted by the joint finance committee this evening. It provides for the appointment by the State' Tax Commission of county assessors, one for each county for 1915 only, when the quadrenial assessment is made on . real estate, and the county commis sioners shall appoint one list taker and assessor for each township and the county boar of equilization shall con sist of the county commissioners, the township list takers and the county assessors. ' This system means the dropping of two tax listers for each township who received about $60 each for their work In quadrenial assessment years . and means a saving of thousands of ! dol lars. The machinery bill is , very near ly completed and will be introduced in the House within the next day or two. Australian Ballot Bill. The House committee on elections Ihis afternoon considered the Austra lian ballot bill . by Roberts, of Bun combe, and provided for a special com mittee to consider the . bill! in detail, It being very lengthy, and then re port back with recommendations. Rep resentatives Grier,. of Iredell, and With erspoon, of Cherokee, are members of the subcommittee. Insurance Bill Today. The Seawell bill for State regulation of insurance rates, which is under fa vorable report from the House insur ance committee, is to come up as a special order in the House Tuesday morning and will be under the special protection of Representatives Page and Seawell, Who were members of the leg islative investigating committee from the 1913 T.esrislature and that recom mended the passage of a bill contain ing the provisions the Seawell bill em bodies. There Is generally regarded to be no doubt that the bill will pass the - House in spite of the probability that the leading insurance companies of the country will withdraw from the State in consequence of its enactment. How ever, there is every indication that the ' bill will.be blocked in the Senate where the State rate making section will v probably be stricken out and a substi tute Inserted along ten line of the Sen ator Weaver bill to give the State De partment of Insurance the. right to hear complaints and declare any rate to be exorbitant but not.tjie power to actually,- raise or lower rates. This policy a said by its advocates to be working well in procuring rate modification! by rating bureaus in a number of the lead ing states of the Union. ' SENATE! PROCEEDINGS. The . Senates was convened at noon by President Pro Tem Gardner. New bill were introduced as follows": Cooper Appoint -Cuthbert Martin a member of the county board, of educa tion in New Hanover county to succeed J. O. Carr. . "' Cooper Amend thd charter of Wil mington.' - , ' Stephens Amend - the public ' health law. McLeod Allow parties to a -contract to agree on a rate not exceeding 8 per cent interest.

Ward Amend the law as to Craven county courts . ' - Hobgood For the dissolution or bankrupt corporations. . It was stated by Senator Majette that the bill for -voluntary land -segregation between 'the races -as advocated by the State Farmers' Union would be intro duced Tuesday. Cooper Stirs a Breeze. When Senator Cooper offered his bill to appoint Cuthbert Martin a member of the New Hanover school board he requested that the bill be referred to some committee other than that on ed ucation because of bad feeling between Senator Cooper and Senator Giles. Sen ator Giles explained that Senator Coop er had nagged him about his attitude as to the anti-jug law in a way that he had regarded as an impertinence, but that when Senator Cooper's bill was considered by his committee . he would absent himself from :: the committee meeting. Being a purely educational bill, he considered that it should go to the committee on education. It was explained that Representative Stacy had passed a bill in the House Saturday appointing J. O., Carr to suc ceed himself and now it was a question as to whether the Senate would pass the House bill or the Cooper bill, as there seemed no chance for the repre sentative and the senator to . get to gether. President Pro tem Gardner asked the Senate to excuse him from action as to the reference off the bill and this was done, a motion being adopted to" place the Cooper bill on the calendar. Indi cations are that when it comes up the Senate will observe senatorial courtesy and pass the Cooper billand then the House and the Senate having failed to agree there will be no appointment of a member of the New Hanover board and the State Board of Education will be left to act, it .being practically cer tain that in that event Mr. Carr will be named to succeed himself. Senator Cooper explained to the Sen ate that he was willing to let the board of education wrestle with the matter as a local fight, but that Mr. Stacy had rushed his bill appointing Mr. Carr through tfie House. He was willing, he sal, ISr the question to be decided outside the Senate. ' Passed Third Read ins.

The Mintz amendment -for -section: !7 Was adopted that changes ,-the tax proposed for newspaper circulation contests from. $50 for weeklies to $10 and from $150 for dailies io , $25. This, amendment was adopted. Mr. Williams, of Cabarrus, minority leader, undertook to have, section 58 as to the tax on oils in. connection with the oil inspection system chang ed so that there could be some tax on the oil companies composed by the counties on the ground that the . heavy oil wagons greatly wear ,the public roads and they should be subject t tax on this score at least. Represen. tative Doughtbn, in charge of the bill said that there .was a danger o that if this privilege for county taxation were allowed it would-"bring about resist ance to the -whole scheme of tax and in spection and might cost the loss of tha whole source of revenue. There was $47,000 from this source to. the State last year. The WiUlams. amendment was not adopted. - ; The bill was amended under section PC fo that the S.tate Treasurer shall have a fund of $?,500 for use in en forcing collection of taxes and the Srite Auditor a fund of 36,000 for enforcing the machinery act. He has hereto fore had only $",504. This was opposed by Williams, of ' Cabarrus, ! on the ground that the $6,000, was excessive, but the H-jue.; thought ohtrew"s, Mr. Doughto. und e thers - express'.ag ie view that, tcti' o effort and att.mi'or. to the et;t jvcv.n.en of the m-ic.V.ury nnd revenue acts .ould easily Increase th revenue $10 COO to $50,000.

Representative Mauney said that his others joined in the endorsement of the bill. Mr. Hutchinson said Mecklen burg county objects to the bill only on 'the 'ground that the tax proposed is tod small. Mr. Page said Moore is raising $2,000 and Mr. Brown that Rowan is raising $2,500 from dog tax now ad everybody is satisfied. The bill passed by a large majority and is ordered -sent to the Senate. The House took a recess to 10:30 to morrow. SENATE TO PROBE "SHIPPING TRUST" (Continued from Page One.) and sent to the. Senate, an extra ses sion of Congress could be avoided. There was considerable discussion of a report that it was planned to abandon he appropriation bills pending in the Senate regardless of. whether the ship bill passes. ' During the day, Paul M. Warburg, whose name had been brought into Sen ate debates by senators who questioned whether Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of which Mr. Warburg formerly was a member, was no interested in selling German ships to the government, made a state ment disclaiming he ever had discussed the ship purchase bill with any one. House Democrats Caucus. Delayed by a' late session of the House, the . Democratic caucus on the ship bill did not convene until after 9 o'clock. Then an hour and a half Was lost in debate over procedure. Various proposals were offered, bu finally, at Speaker Clark's suggestion, all were withdrawn and the bill was read for amendment under the regular House five-minute speech rule. The speaker made a speech support ing the measure, but said he did not favor any proposition that would "ram the bill down the throat of the cau cus." Speaker Clark pleaded with his col leagues to stand by the leaders, declar ing the party had wandered in the wil derness for 16 years apd that the only way to make progress was to uphold the, standard bearer, in this particular issue, the President of the United States. ' Representative Fitzgerald, of New York, vigorously opposed the bill. He said he was against any form of gov ernment Ownership and insisted that the shipping project was a dangerous experiment. - , KUHN, LOEB A CO., STATEMENT.

Our reply will perhaps be not ineffective. ' "Germany cannof be allQwed to adopt a system of open piracy -and murder. There Is good reason for believing that the economic pressure ' of ' the navy is beginning" to be felt in Germany." During the last three months, he said, there has been 3,600 sailings and 4,465 arrivals at ports of the United Kingdom. Only nineteen of these ves sels had been sunk by Germany and of these only four were destroyed by above-the-water craft. The navy had chartered one-fifth of the British mer cantile marine for the purpose" of sup plying food, fuel and ammunition to the fleetj and the troops in the field. Mr. Churchill gave an interesting re view of the naval situation. He said efficiency was the keynote of the ad-: miralty's programme and that at the outbreak of war, the supplies of am munition, men, and oil were complete. Every ship in the navy fit fc-ervice as well as new ships being built for -foreign governments and armed mer chant men has been fully manned. In fact, the German army was no man fit for an attempted war on a gigantic scale than was the British fleet for national defense,, he said.! "Afterix months of war, with new dangers and difficulties coming into view, we have every right 'to be con tent with the results of our labors in making provisions for the navy. "Only two small cruisers and two armed merchantmen remain of all the German -preparations to attack '- our trade routes, and these are in hiding." During the six months of the war; Mr. Churchill said Great Britain's total losses at sea including all ships ex cept trawlers, amounted to only 68. Referring to Vice Admiral Jellico's command of the sea, "as silent, un sleeping and as unchallenged," Mr. Churchill said the admiralty had moved men at home and abroad, including Belgian and French troops and wound ed, to the number of 1 1,000,000 without an accident or the loss of a life. British Navy Sound. Mr. Churchill said the recent action in the North Sea had shown that "the navy' is sound as a bell, all through." T4new 15-inch gun of the navy, he saidVras equal in quality to t he 1JJ.5 inch gun and vastly more powerful and destructive. Mr." Churchill placed the navy's losses during the war at 5,500 officers and men, most of them were killed by sub marines. The Germans, he said, had lost a like, number, chiefly by gun fire. The British had taken prisoners, 83 Germantaval officers and 954 men. mere were no .British naval prison ers of war. Referring to the suggestion which has been, made that a court martial should be held whenever a ship was lost, Mr. Churchill declined to t adopt such a course. He saidthe theories of naval warfare had been changed com pletely, and he felt the suggested court martials might cause comman ders to play for safety and jr. void the responsibility - of positive actions. In view of existing conditions, he thought the British losses had been compara tively few. A. Bonar-Law, opposition leader, who followed Mr. Churchill, spoke of the "inevitable irritation' 'to the neutral powers in connection with their ship ping. "He thought the strictest regard should be paid to the interests and susceptibilities'-of neutrals and he said their rights must be respected. Mr. Law thought it probable the pres sure of British sea power ultimately would, compel the German ;mperor to risk his navyyln a sea fight. Admiral Lord Charles Beresford con tended, the best way to end the war would be for all the Allies to .send a joint note to Germany declaring that he had decided . to stop all supplies that cou'd-be of benefit to her. "I don't think there would be any trouble," Lord Charles added, "with the great country of the United States or wit hthe other neutral powers." FORWARDED TO PAGE.

Mr. Page was in structed to suggest that unless -Great Britain has sufficient grounds not yet advanced for-doing otherwise, the ship at once be permitted : to proceed with her cargo to her destination. The proposal of the German, ambas sador that submarine attacks upon British merchantmen would be aban doned, if Great Britain ceased interfer ing with food supplies for German ci vilians also was transmitted to Am bassador Page for submission to the foreign office.

The attacks to be expected by masked British mer chant' vessels make a search impossi ble, as the examining party and the submarines themselves would thereby be exposed to destruction. "Under the circumstances, the safety of neutral shipping in the war zone around the British isles is serirously threatened. There also is an increased danger resufting from mines as these will be laid in the war zone to a great extent. Accordingly, neutral ships arc most urgently warned against entering that area, while the course around Scotland will be safe. "Germany has been Compelled to re sort to this kind of warfare by the murderous ways of British naval war fare which aims at the destruction of legitimate neutral trade and at starva tion of the German people. Germany will be obliged to adhere to these an nounced principles till England sub mits to the reeognized rules of war fare, established by the declarations of Paris and London or till she is com pelled to do so by the neutral powers."
