THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1917. Two. NOT 10 CURTAIL THE IHAUeURAL PROGRAM President to Call the Usual Special Session or Senate. He Will Probably Take Oath of Office Privately at White House Sunday, March 4th Many Women to be in Parade. Washington, Feb. 23. Details of the inaugural plans which have been indefi nite because March 4th falls on Sunday, began clearing up today with the offi cial announcement that President Wil son had called the customary special session of the new Senate March 5. A plan to abandon it had been considered. The session will include the usual cere monies of inaugurating the vice presi dent. It seems to have been decided that President Wilson will take an oath of office privately in the White House March 4, but it has not been announced whether he will take it again at the public ceremony March 5. It is being suggested tnat the Presi dent make the public ceremony merely the occasion for delivering his inaugu ral address. It is certain that Vice President Marshall will take his oath in the formal way at the special Senate session March 5, but it has not been de termined whether he will take it before. The State Department ruled today that if the President decided not to take the oath until Monday there would be no interim period in which the coun try would be without a President, and published an opinion by Chief Justice Marshall in 1S21 to cover a similar sit uation which confronted President Monroe. The controversy over what part wo men shall take in the ceremonies shows signs of quieting, Mrs. James H. Boggs of the Woman's Wilson Union, who an nounced last night "the withdrawal of all women" from the inaugural parade because of a difficulty with Chairman Harper, of the inaugural committee, over a state float demonstration, said today she had no further statement to make, and Mr. Harper indicated that he considered the incident closed. The chairman said he had assurances that many women's organizations would be in line. m DAY IN CONGRESS SENATE Met at 11 A. M.

C.,-Thursday night without a de cision.

Referee Crawford announced before the match that if no falUresulted in two hours that the mateh would be declar ed a draw unless the decision was awarded to one man on points. After the second fall had lasted the two hours without result Gardner left the ring. Hanson contended that as one fall had already been secured, the sec ond must continue until a fall had been registered, regardless of time. The Charlotte man claimed that he had given more than value received, and interpreted the two hour ruling to mean any fall in the bout. There was considreable discussion among the spec tators as to which of the gladiators was in the right. The second fall of the bout was said to be one of the best ever seen in Co lumbia. Both men put up a magnifi cent battle, and broke every hold that the other carried in his repertoire. SOUTHSIDE CLUB OPENS Twin Wrestling Bill Was Presented Last Night at ixth and Castle.

THE MURCHISON NATIONAL BANK Southport Begins Fight on Removal MASS MEETING ENDORSES BILL FOR REMODELLING COURT HOUSE; OPPOSES HEWETT BILL SENDS DELEGATION TO RALEIGH. (By Long Distance Telephone). Southport, N. C, Feb. 23.. At a mass meeting at the court house here to night, attended by , many prominent merchants and Jjuainess men and oth ers, resolutions were adopted endorsing Senator Cranmer's bill in the Legisla ture to provide for the remodelling and improving of the court house, here and protesting against the passage of Rep resentative Hewett's pending bill to submit to a vote of the county the ques tion pf removing the county seat from Southport to Supply or Bolivia. A delegation of ten were appointed to go to Raleigh to appear before commit tee and press the claims and desires of the citizens of Southport as expressed in the mass meeting, and they will leave here Sunday for the State capital.. Mr. M. C. Guthrie was made chairman of the mass meeting and Messrs. R. E. Hanson and C. L. Stevens, secretaries. The chairman stated the object of the meeting, which was to appoint dele gates to go to Raleigh to present South port's views of endorsement of Senator Cranmer's bill, which calls for the re modelling of the county court house here. A resolution was offered by Mr. J. W. Ruark, showing the folly of the bill offered by Representative Hewett, of Brunswick, calling for. a vote in the county to move the court house to Sup ply or Bolivia from Southport. The sev eral contentions against removal, as ex pressed at the mass meeting and in the resolutions adopted, are: The expense; no transportation or ac commodations at Supply; inacessibility and lack of accommodations for court at Bolivia, Southport being the only ac cessible place, having rail and water transportation; New Hanover's interest in Brunswick county's court; the coun ty seat once at Supply was moved for accessibility to Southport; all improve ments made here would be lost by re moval. Unanimous endorsement was givn the Cranmer bill and the showing made of present urgent needs of improve ment of the court house.
