' u Seminole Batiles To I Save Burning Vessel ' Cutter Returns To Home (Port After Heroic -Efforts To Aid Schooner Heroic efforts were made by thej crew of the coast guard cutter Seminole to ; save the Norwegian auxiliary schooner from destruction by fire off Charleston lightship Wednesday, according to he story of the fight with the flames aboard the sailing vessel told by the . officers of the Seminole that has just returned, to port. . The officers of the Seminole say that they received a" wireless call from the Clyde liner Comanche, Wednesday, to the effect that the Norwegian yessel was afire ajid that assistance was jneea ed at Once. The Seminole reached the burning vessel near the Charleston lightship. It .wasi found that the; .crew had been removed and it was later learned that they were taken aboard the Comanche, bound fro mJackson ville to New York. When the cutter reached the Kors naes, two of her five masts had fallen as a result of the fire and everyf effort made by the crew -of the -Semiridle to quench the flames' proved without avail. After laying-by several hours the burning schooner was taken iji tow by the cutter, but when Charleston harbor was reached the flames; had gutted the craft and she sank. j The Korsneas was practically a new vessel. Besides her sails she j was equipped with crude oil burning en gines and it is believed that the Are originated about her oil tanks. The schooner was of 1,938 tons. She was bound from Hull, England, to Norfolk, in ballast when the fire broke! out aboar'd.' The schooner's "home port; was Bergen, Norway. 1 When the Seminole received the call for assistance she was testing! her' compass between this port and Charleston-. I, After the Korsnaes was tbwed into the South Carolina port, the 1 cut ter went to the Charleston navy 'yard where her radio compass was given a thorough test. I FISH 1 ARK STILL BITINGJ .

Thompson -died at 1 o'clock thi morning from gunsbot wounds re ceived late Saturday night while with vother officers raiding a notorious negro Special to The Star.) RALEIGH, Jan. 1. Clothed in thirty four pages of legal verbiags, and en titled "An act to provide for th con struction and maintenance of, a system of hard-surfaced and other dependable roads connecting by. the most .practi cable routes the various county seats and other principal, town? of every county in' the state, etc., the highway bill drawn by the Clarkson commission is ready for. presentation 0 the gen eral assembly when it meets in bien nial session next Wednesday. -Two days' hard labor were expended by Mr. Clarkson, Miss Hattie Berry and John Sprunt Hill during the week pro viding the legal cloaking; for the bill which was agreed upon in its essential features three weeks ago; ' when the commission held its -initial meeting here. Mr. Clarkson took a copy of. the document back to Charlotte with him, where Governor-elect Cameron Morri son will study it before -.writing his road message to the assembly. "Chief among the achievements of the commission is the welding together of every element of road enthusiasm in the state. There developed an unde niable split some months' ago when Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick formed, the Cit izens' Highway association and drew away from the more conservatively inclined North Carolina Good Roads as sociation. Wide divergences of opln ion sprang op. and for months It looked more like a fight between; the two or ganizations rather than a fight for good roads. Added to this was a marked hostility towards 'the present highway commission.- , Some . weeks back Mr. Kirkpatrick asked; Mr. Clarkson, who s regarded as a man . nearest'the incoming chief executive, to draw a bilL , This move wai regarded! with , some ' suspicion among members' of the . good roads as sociation, and not until Clarkson called in members of both, and asked Frank Page, chairman of the highway com mission, to sU in an advisory capacity, did all vestiges of distrust drop away, and all elements set about making a highway bill that could be, worked.. Satisfaction Jwith the document is general. Mr. Clarkson believes in it; MissiBerry thinks it the best that colald possibly ""be made; Dr. Morse, her col league on the Kirkpatrick organization, has similar views: W. A. , McGirt ap proves .entirely; Frank . Pagf says it will work; Col. Benehah Cameron and John-Sprunt Hill believe in it thor oughly. And added to these there is general approval among members of the general assembly who have' seen it. "Governor" Rufe Doughton is spoken of as the man who will intro duce it. The Greensboro News was moved to wonder some weeks ago whether the Kirkpatrick association swallowed Mc Girt's, or whether it was the other way round. Members of the Clarkson commission think that it was neither, but that there was no swallowing to be done after they -all got their feet under the same table and talked it over for a few days. A. great believer in harmony, Mr. Clarkson believes that a great harmony has been, attained. Fifty-five hundred milesjof roads is a lot of roads, as they Lall realized when Frank' Page told them it would take & ''million freight cars Jo move the materials to make them, but as drawn the bill sets about achieving that aim within a lifetime of the pres ent generation, and Mr. ' Page is sure it can be done. It will take ten years before it happens, but with work and harmony of the Clarkson ; variety, he thinks things are oh the verge of hap pening!. ). The bill distributes the ! burden so widely arid over so long a period of years that it is believed that; even when everybody is crying hard times -that thera. will be none to take panic at the provisions of the measure. It is a big job, but as Mr. McGirt says; the state is determined, and the roads are on the verge Of being built. Miss Berry is about the happiest woman' in the state over the completion : of the job of drawing the bill, and declares that she has worked herself out of a job. Mr. Clarkson thinks she ought to have a job on the naw highway commis sion. -A- JUGO-SLAVIA PREPARES TO ' SUPPRESS COMMUNIST PLOT BELGRADE, Dec. 31.

November 26, after President Wilson had par doned hint on condition that he, leave thm Unitadr States by I January ' L ' By JULE B. WARREN RALEIGH, Jan. 1. The petition of the Southern railway to take off pas senger train's Nos. 15 and 16 on the Goldsboro-Greensboro division, has been denied temporarily by the cor poration commission. The railroad pre sented the petition on the ground that the trains were not hauling a sufficient number of passengers to - justify .keep ing them running, and the other trains on this line could handle" the traffic. "I will .go Out of office ' January 12, and on January 13 I hope to bei busy practicing law- in Raleigh,", declared Governor Rickett today, announcing his intention of remaining in Raleigh. There should be an amendment to the primaryv l$rw which will definitely fix- the amOTHittrof money a candidate can legally spend in securing the nomi nation for an office, and - proof that more than this amount - of money -had been spent either personally or by con gent, should be the grounds for forfeit ure of the nomination, in the opinion of , Governor Bickett. The governor has been especially interested in the sug gestions about a repeal or amendment of the primary ' law. His opinion is all the more Interesting' in view of the fact that he is closing his administra ton and is no longer in the political forefront. The governor does not believe the primary law should be abolished, but does thinsr it should be "purified." Four years ago Governor Bickett recom mended the adoption f the short bal lot! He thought the; governor and the United States senators should be nomi nated by popular vote, and the con stitution should; be amended so as to allow the -governor, to-appoint heads of department, in much the same manner that the cabinet officers are appointed. The governor again recommended this in his biennial message to the legisla ture two years ago, "But it seems'that the. legislature does.' not believe Iiave very much po litical sense. Out of the forty-eight things I have recommended to the; leg islature during -the past four years, it has-'adopted forty, but Ih every instftnee' it has passed up every recommendation and suggestion I have made about po litical matters." While he will recommend no changes In the law creating thebudget commis sion and placing the state expenditures on a budget basis Governor Bickett is convinced" that some changes should be made in this law. The fundamental principle of the law is correct, in the opinion of the governor, for' it places the revenues and expenditures of the state on an intelligent basis, enabling all departments to know what they roay expect, and how much money they may spend during the fiscal peribd for which the legislature appropriates. Orie of the changes the governor be lieves would work to good advantage would make the fiscal year end in June 30. instead of November ,30. He also be lieves 'the budget commission should meet in Aujrust every two years instead of in December. This would give the commission a great deal more time to hear departmental and Institutional heads and to study the needs and he prospective revenues. KNOX'S STATEMENT IS SEEN AS DEFIANCE OF . THE PRESIDENT-ELECT (Continued on Page Two) menace, to its own peace and freedom, will consult with ;: the other powers affected with a view to devising means for the removal .of such menace, ani will, the necessity arising in the fu ture, co-operate. ywith the friends of civilization for its defense." "fCiMHi;Iaea off Auoelatlo-n . Thai Is Knox's Idea of what he called n association of nations." That is his substitute for the League of Na tions. The "whole significance of this Knox episode " is Interpreted by the more mature minds arsons the observers here to mean that Knox does not stand alone, that he drew his state ment up in consultation with several other irreconcilable Republican sena tors. That it is, In effect, a declaration by these senators that tiey will op pose the. plan that Harding-has been evolving through the conferences with the "best minds" outside the senate, and that, going ever further, thes senators propose to Insist utfon van fight for a larger share in the manage! ment of American foreign 'relations; encroaching as far as they can on the customary prerogative of the President 4n that field: ' N t Two Questions now arise. The firm fs, how many other senators are back of Knox? Our guess here In Marlon Is that Knox has got behind him a con siderable force, a force measurably larger than the irreconcilable group was last winter. Before I left Wash ington I knew of more than one convert the irreconcilableg. have lately 're cruited. ' - The second auestfon obviously is: What course will Harding now follow?
