He made his escape, and up j -g. Jersey, yesterday talked interest to last night the iolice had not sue-j ingly of his political career.

At the time of Woodrow Wilson's debut into New-, Jersey politics, Mr. Martine was president of an almost- form an autopsy on the woman. The defunct Democratic club at Plainfield. coroner's jury hearing was conducted at the courthouse yesterday after noon, and the verdict was "That L.elia Smith came to her ,-death as a result of bullet wounds from the pistol fired by her husband, Thomas Smith."

Things had gone from bad to worse with that organization and some members were avowedly in favor of its demise, but Mr. Martine suggest ed that they get a speaker of promi nence and have a public rally. "In Plainfield, where a lot of wealthy New York business men make their home, to be a Democrat is to be a heretic some what the same lis we regard a China- ! man we look for his que." It was left Five shots were fired, but only two (to Mr. Martine to secure a speaker took effect. The woman's mother, the only eye witness to the murder, is re ported to have interfered, causing the latter shots from the revolver to go wild. The woman was carried to James Walker Memorial hospital, where she died shortly after 6 o'clock. The driver , of the .ambulance said that he saw Thomas -Smith on Walnut street as lie was driving the ambulance to get tlie woman. Report of the shooting was made to the police department by Jobie Hooper, negro, who resides at Sixth and Walnut street. Sergeant W. C Moore and Officers Ketchura and Bur ton investigated the" affair immediately, and they made a thorough search nt the vicinity for the negro man. How sever, he had succeeded In making gci-away. inc pome waic.ieu an o"t-'hnnor to nronl to von th nresidnl "I promptly wrote President Wood- row Wilson, of Princeton university, about 30 miles from Plainfield, whom jl had never met, and asked him if he would deliver a Democratic address. Quickly came the response, 'I will. What shall my subject be?' I answered that he could choose his own subject, and he came back with: 'How would Democratic Opportunities do?' Great God, that's what we've looked for for 40 years. I answered him. Introduced Mr. Wilson "We advertised the meeting for three weeks before Mr. Wilson was. to speak and the night of the speaking we had. a number of newspaper men from points in New Jersey as well as many from the big New- York city papers. I introduced the college president, say ing: 'My fellow citizens, I have the EIGHT PER CENT RATE FOR LOANS TO COME UP BEFORE LOCAL CHAMBER NUMBER MENTIONED FOR FEDERAL POSTS lieve in America first, last and always. That's why I opposed the- league of na tions, particularly .article 10, on which the President wanted a solemn refer endum.

According to description furnished the police, Thomas Smith is black, 5 feet. 6 inches tall; weighs about 150 pounds, and at the time of the murder is reported to have been wearing a brown suit and a black slouch hat. Smith was tried by Recorder George Harriss November 29, 1919, on the charge of assault on a female, and the recorder sentenced, him to 60 days on the county roads. He just . recently completed this sentence. The charge of one of the foremost, if not. the fore most, colleges in America, President Wilson, of Princeton, and I hope he may be our next governor.' "The next morning the New York newspapers carried big headlines: 'Martine Boosts Wilson for Governor' and the political career of the now president of the United States was launched." But, in due course of time, President Wilson and Senator Martine found themselves in direct opposition on many matters. For instance, that of The senator opposed the confirmation of Dr. Cary Grayson as a rear admiral, stating that he was unalterably op posed to promoting him over the heads of men who had served many years and that the promotion wasn't good, for only a few years but for life at $8,000 per annum. In 1907 Mr. Martine worked for the measure that would submit to the qualified voters the selection of a United States senator. Woodrow Wil son aided him when he carried the fight to the legislature and after stiff opposition from various sources, the fight was won. The matter was sub mitted to the people and by a majority of 49,800 they showed they wished to vote directly on their representatives in the upper house of congress. The senator, a hale and vigorous per son of commanding appearance, is a native born New Yorker, but looks like a genuine southern colonel with flow ing mustache and goatee. His great great grandfather came from France with the contingent brought by Gen eral Rochambeau to aid George Wash ington against the British. The pa ternal ancester settled in New York where he married a woman of German birth. An old uncle used to live at Fayetteville and it was to ascertain some facts about him that the senator paid the visit ending yesterday. Ex-Senator Martine, according to hia statement, has had an unusual political career. In his own words, he has been a "runner" frequently seeking office without result. "I've been active in politics since I was 18 and have many times been a candidate for office, four times for the lower house in New Jer sey, four times for state senate, twice before the convention for nomination for governor, five times for the lower branch of congress, and twice for the senate, in the first of which I was suc cessful the only time I was ever elect ed in my life." Wn Here In 1869 "The last time I was in Wilmington was in 1869. I came down the river , from Fayetteville and tried to make the same trip again, but they told me the boat wasn't running. I remember George Peck, who used to run a hard That the . chamber of commerce t might take some action regarding the proposed change by legislative enact ment of the legal bank rate of inter-j est by contract from 6 per cent to 8 per cent, President Herbert E. Boncy of the chamber yesterday called a spe cial meeting of this organization for Wednesday at noon. The bill regard ing the interest rate afforded by North Carolina banks, which it is understood, is to be introduced into the general assembly shortly, ig creating consider able interest throughout the state. As any change in the legal interest rate as would be caused by a success ful passage through the state legisla ture of a bill regarding this matter would greatly effect the tanks of Wil mington, unusual interest is being manifested here in the matter and it is expected that. there will be a large number of the members of the cham ber of commerce present at the meet ing tomorrow at noori. W. A. Hunt, of Henderson, president of the North Carolina Bankers' asso ciation, has been quoted as considering the proposed 8 per cent interest law as an economic necessity to conform to the law of supply and Remand and de clared that there was no effort being made for the change of the legal rate from 6 per cent but that it is onl de sired to allow 8 per cent by contract only. Mr. Hunt thinks this will pre vent the rapid withdrawing of money from North Carolina into other states which pay 8 per cent and more and further pointed out that there are 38 states which have a law that allows them to pay 8 per cent or more. Mr. Hunt is further quoted as say ,ing that he knew a prominent state official who had told him that in his judgment a hundred million dollars was a low estimate for the amount that has gone out of North Carolina banks to other states for the higher According to the best information available, there is no dearth of candi dates, some .of whom do not even sanction their candidacy, for the posi tion of collector of customs of the port of .Wilmington and for the job of post master. From various sources infor mation is gained that a number of men now have petitions circulating for these positions which will be vacated by the incumbents when their terms expire under the Hardirg administra tion. . . In the list of those mentioned ap-I-esr the names of some men whose friends are working in their behalf without any - avowed sanction or ap proval from the possible holders of these federal offices. A leading Re publican, one who has his fingers on the situation, is authority for that statement, and he aided materially in compiling the list, which may or may not be complete! of the possibilities from which the Republican state com mittee will make' its influential rec ommendations when the time for ap pointment draws nearer. As to state patronage, some of the local Republicans profess to believe that Gilliam Grissom, of Greensboro, G. O. P. war horse with many service, and some wound stripes, has the in side track to succeed Revenue Collec tor J. W. Bailey at Raleigh. In fact, it was stated yesterday by one Repub lican that Mr. Grissom was sure to land, and his desires would, in meas ure, Influence the appointment of the collector of customs ' for the .port of Wilmington. Those who are being most promi nently mentioned for customs collec tor here are, according to the same source of information, C. C. Chadbourn. Sam Kins. C. H. Heritage, R. C. Ruark. J. J. Lockfaw, T.

Something definite in the way of formulating plans for the organization of a active naval unit for the United States Naval Reserve force will be done this evening when those who have interested themselves in the proposi tion gather at the hut of the American Legion at 8 o'clock for their second meeting. This meeting was called last Tuesday night when more than 15 young men of the city who served in Uncle Sam's navy during the late war gathered and discussed the preliminary plans for putting the unit over. Much enthusiasm was displayed at the meeting last week but it was de cided to delay definite action ujitil to night as each young man .who was present at the first meeting felt that he could bring two or three. Interested young men to the gathering this even ing. Practically every one of the dozen or more who attended the first ses sion have reported that they will be on hand tonight; some with one young man and others with two or three. Just as soon as a sufficiant number have signified their intention of joining the naval organization the admiral commanding the naval district in which the port of Wilmington is located will be communicated with and he will probably send a regular naval officer to this city to go into the matter fully with those interested, telling them what will be the next step for them to take. Those who have already interested themselves in the formation here of a unit are particularly enthusiastic over the prospects of J having allocated to them, as soon as" they are organized, a shijiof sorae sort which will be theirs to us for all cruises, including week-end and annual, gun and 'foot drills,1 and for general armory use. The men have been assured that they may use their ship for pleasure purposes, sucn as dances and river trips in the after noon during the summer months. Those behind the move to orfinize the local unit want it thorough! un derstood that everyone is 'eligible for membership.

MARY BRYANT DEAD; HOLD FUNERAL WEDNESDAY After surveying Wrightsville Beach yesterday afternoon. Captain W. D. Manson, of the steamer WUmlngton. informed Raymond D. Hunt, general manager of the Tidewater Power com pany, who accompanied Captain Man son on the tour of Inspection, that there is little cause for worry over the condition at the beach. He advised Mr. Hunt that movable jetties, rein forced by bags filled with sand, could be placed at different points off shore. and that, as the sand filled in, these jetties could be moved farther out, and the beach, in this manner, would soon be filled In. He estimated that the cost of this simple device would not exceed $500, and said that the metholl had been used successfully along the Jersey coast. Mayor Thomas H. Wright, of tTie town of Wrightsville Beach, stated yesterday that he had a letter from Dr. Louis M. Haupt, an expert on the restoration of beaches, and that Dr. Haupt would arrive in the city Friday. Nothing definite will be decided upon until a thorough inspection of th& beach has been made by Dr. Haupt. ! Capt. Hanson, who was for sorae years master of the United States dredge Absecon at Atlantic City, N. J., with Raymond Hunt, inspected the beach from the Oceanic hotel almost to Masonboro inlet, Capt. Hanson reported that the beach was in good condition and that restoration of the sands cut away by the current during the recent storm, could. In his opinion, be accom plished in about 80 days, with the use of the movable Jetties. Mr. Hunt stated yesterday afternoon that he thought well of the p'.an pro posed by Capt. Manson, who said that the jetties could be maintained and moved when nedessary by a force of t about six men. '.'t - Captain Edgar Hinton, who for years managed the popular Seashore hotel at Wrightsville Beach, said yesterday that he had seen the beach damaged to a greater extent thah that nvrought by the recent storm. He aid the sands would return in time. r. Mrs. Mary A. Bryant, aged 67. died at the home of her brother, Captain W. P.

Today's the day to buy stock in the Wilmington baseball club. This morn ing the teams of canvassers will make a hou3e to house visit through the business, manufacturing and whole sale districts of the city in an effort to place the remainder of trie $10,000 issue of stock that will insure profes sional baseball in Wilmington during the coming summer. A'bout 125 or 135 shares must be sold to get the total desired, It was stated by workers last night. Today will be the final one of the baseball financial campaign. If suffi cient stock is not sold, then the ways and means' committee, appointed at the first meeting of baseball enthusiasts, is fully empowered to "call off the dogs" and. drop the entire matter. If, how ever, the money is raised, a represen tative will immediately 'be appointed to go to Goldsboro at an early date, and attend the meeting of club officials that will formally organize the East ern Carolina league. A number of men, in addition to buying stock, have given freely of their time in an effffort to put the proposition over, but many of those who should haVe come across earlier in the campaign have been delaying for various reasons,, making the lot of the solicitors a trifle harder, j These hold-offs are expected to come through today in jig time, so as to give the solicitors more time to spend on those who must have a full explanation of the purposes to which the proceeds from the sale of stock will be put. The purchase of one or more shares should not be considered a donation. With even a fair break of fortune, the Wilmington club should make money. Clubs in Class D leagues in smaller cities by far than Wilmington cleaned up thousands last year and baseball should be even better patronized in 1921 than it was in 1920. Under the circumstances, the purchase of stock in the local operating company would appear . to be. nearer an" investment than a donation. There has as yet been no attempt to form or a discussion of any perman ent organization.' This matter will be left entirely to all the stockholders, if the full issue is placed, at a meet ing to be held in the immediate future. friends are bestirring themselves in behalf of their candidacies, which serves to make them among those con testing or desiring the place. It is not believed by local Republi cans that there will be any shake-up in appointive positions at the 'custom house until. July or later. Certain of the positions, there require considera ble training and while the Republi cans anticipate a general house clean ing in favor of fo'lowers of the polit ical party in the ascendancy, they would not be surprised if certain of fice specialists held over for some months after the change of higher of ficials, thus applying also to Collector Bailey's office. irh rncinfflxo linr.un Is renorted as lengthy as that for the collectorship F. D. Tucker, secretary of the tiaroing club during the last campaign and now cashier at the Atlantic Coast Line here, is a postoffice aspirant, according to G. O. P. gossip, and G. B. Wilson, C. C. Chadbourn and Warren Elliott are also mentioned, and it is declared that leading Republfcans and many busi ness interests have indorsed several men. The lists, as given above, it was pointed out. may be adde'd to "or dimin ished before the time comes for the Republican state committee to get down to brass tacks and decide who has the inside track. The recommen dations of this committee, or rather its indorsement, will carry considerable weight with the Harding administra tion, local Republicans contend, since John Motley Morehead.' state leader, is a national . committeeman. Iredell Meares. who has been expect ed to be a candidate for postmaster or collector of customs, and about, whose supposed candidacy there has 'been gossip, denied the report yesterday and declared that at present, at least, his hat was on his head and not in any ring; but he didn't say whether it would be hurled into the ring later.

Their Work and Needs Shown At Grace Church Last Night Only a medium sized audience gath ered at Grace Methodist Episcopal church last evening to hear a lecture and witness a motion picture ip in terest of the educational campaign now beinjr waged by the Methodist Episcopal church of the south. Those attending were alumni and alumnae of various Methodist educational In stitutions of the south, particularly Trinity college and Greensboro College for Women. Out of the Christian College" was the picture shown and it was accompanied by a lecture by Prof. A. G. Spence, of Trinity college. The purpose of the picture was to show the work the col leges are doitis and their needs, also to demonstrate the efficienc of Tne colleges .as to church and other lead ers. The southern Methodist Episcopal church has sent out 288 missionaries, of whom 236 were trained in their denominational colleges. A further need of 5,000 young men and young womfcn to fill the demands of home and foreign fields was stressed by the speaker and by the motion picture. After the showing of the picture in the main auditorium of, the church, a short meetihs of the alumni atrd alumnae of colleges of the southern M.
