the condition of the five survivors of
the seaplane Columbus, which was
■wrecked and sunk in the ocean. 21
miles northwest of Havana yesterday
afternoon with the loss of four lives.
Was reported as no( serious tonight.
Mrs. Atkins, whose husband, a New
Tork capitalist, and their two children,
Edwin F., 3rd, five years, and David,
three, perished in the wreck, is suffer
ing form exposure and fears were ex
pressed last pneumonia might develop.
However, it was stated there was no
immediate danger. She is staying at
the home of a friend here and ap
parently has not yet realized the full
extent of the tragedy, it was said. Miss
McDonald, of New York, was the other
victim of the accident.
Otto Abraham, of New York, Miss
Julia Haverty, of New York, W. E.
Miller, pilot, and Harold Thompson,
mechanician, of the seaplane, were all
out of the hospital today.
A search lasting the entire day was
made today for the wreckage of the
seaplane and the bodies of the xictims,
but without avail. Darkness tonight
caused a suspension of the search,
■which will be continued, although,
since the sea in the. vicinity of the
wreck is infested with sharks, little
hope of recovering the bodies is held
The Columbus, which left Key West
at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
was wrecked an hour inter, was mak
ing its regular daily trip to Havana,
pour hundred pounds of mail were lost
with it.
According to an account of the acci
dent given by Pilot Miller he noticed
that the* engine was missing and made
a landing, the plane falling on top of a
wave and being catapulted into the
middle of the next one. The two chil
dren were killed by the impact with a
wave while they were asleep in the
cabin. Mr. Atkins and Miss McDonald
were swept off the wreckage by a.
wave. '
The survivors were rescued by tne
ferry boat Henry M. Fiager, which was
three quarters of a mile distant at
the time of the accident and saw the
plane fall. Several attempts to reach
the wreckage had to be raaje before It
■was accomplished because of the high
sea and the life boat had a terrific
battle with the waves before it reached
the Flagler.

Approximately 1,090 People ,
Attend Anniversary Exercises'
Of the Fall of Fort Fisher
Maj. W. A. Graham Makes Inspiring Address at Fort Ruins Yes
terday Afternoon; Four Confederate Participants in Bat-'
tie at Fort, and Four Sons of Union Attackers, Present
I . „
| “Had the attack been made from the
rear, the etory might have been differ
' ent,” declared Maj. W. A. Graham, su
perintendent of public instruction, ad
dressing a thousand people at exercises
yesterday at Fort Fisher, commemora
tive of the 5Sth anniversary of thp fall
of Fort Fisher.
“Why was it not made.” Major Gra
ham asked, and continuing he asked:
“Was it cowardice, or was the God of
Battles bringing to pass what other
wise could not have been? Who shall
say? Be that as it may, the defenders
of Fort Fisher exhibited the highest
qualities of courage and devotion, the
same spirit that characterized the im
k mortals at Thermopylaa and the glory
of their heroism lignts up the darkest
hour in the history of North Caro
lina.”
Dr. A. M. Baldwin, commander of
the local camp of Confederate Veter
ans, introduced Major Graham, follow
ing i. prayer by the Rev. Edwin E.
Keever, chaplain of Wilmington post
No. 10, American legion, and pastor St.
Paul’s Lutheran church.
Capt. Edgar D. Williams, who has
been active in the establishment of a
national park at Fort Fisher, arid who
was instrumental in having the road
extended to the fort and also in plac
ing memorial tablets at the ruins,
made a short address.
Captain Williams suggested that the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
organize a Fort Fisher Memorial asso
ciation, similar to the Moores Creek
Battleground association, for the pur
pose of fostering a movement to per
petuate the memory of the heroic de
fenders of Fort Fisher.
Four gray clad Confederate veterans,
survivors of the mighty battle that
ended in the fall of Fort Fisher, mount
ed the platform at the conclusion of
Major Graham's address, and a still
ness of reverence and admiration of the
assemblage obtained throughout the
speech of one of their number, who
recited the thrilling moments of the
capitulation of the last stronghold of
the Confederacy. Isen Harrison. W. M.
Skipper, M. Huffan and one-other Con
federate veteran constituted this im
mortal quartet, whose appearance dur
ing the exercises constituted the fea
ture of the occasion.
One of the veterans maue a snort
talk, and recited the deeds of heroism
of that noble band oi 1,900 men, who
"stood the gaff’’ that younger men of
the present might not stand; and here
and there a tear was observed, while
everywhere in the crowd hearts were
filled with sorrow, yet all hearts
quickened and beat proudly when re
calling the heroism of the defenders,
whom this quartet represented.
There were also present four New
Yorkers, whose fathers were aboard
the attacking fleet, and these sons of
union fathers mingled with the Con
federate veterans, as if the heroism of
both the attackers and defenders of
Fort- Fisher were remembered, and the
strife of the conflict foreottent The
New Yorkers present at the exercises
yesterday were en route to Florida, but
stopped over In Wilmington for the day
in ordar to attend the observance at
Fort Fisher.
Captain Williams last night ex
pressed himself as being highly grati
fied with the splendid manner in which
the program was carried out, and he
voiced sincere thanks for the fine mu
sic furnished bv the American Legion
band, and 'also for the quartet singing.
He also thanked Mias Lucy Moore and
William Rehder, for the two beautiful
floral designs contributed for the occa
sion.
Captain Williams stated that he Is
anxious to see the anniversary of the
fall of Fort Fisher commemorated each
year, and he expressed the hope that
the years to come will sep this an an
nual event of importance throughout
the south. There were 1,900 Confed
erate defenders of Fort Fisher, Captain
Williams said.
Although ‘here were several hundred
automobiles used to convey the crowd
from Wilmington to the fort and back,
there was not a single accident, nor the
slightest disorder to mar the event.
The text of Major Graham’s address
follows:
‘‘The speaker feels acutely Ills ip
ability to make an address that could
be worthy of this occasion; for here,
68 years ago, was enacted one of the
closing scenes of the great drama of
the civil war, a scene which exhibited
all the elements of gripping interest
that have made the ‘Lost Cause’ a suit
able and ever-appealing subject for the
artist’s brush, the poet’s song, and the
orator’s thrilling flights of oratory.
“Forget, then, if you please, the
speaker’s limitations and let your
thoughts turn back to the days of ’64
and '65.
“The overwhelming forces of the
north have gradually closed ,in upon
the south, and the star of the Confed
eracy grows dimmer and dimmer. All
other ports along the South Atlantic
seaboard have been closed. Upon the
daring courage and wonderful seaman
ship of Maffitt, McDougal, Morse and
their comrades of the blockade runners
the Confederate forces in the field de
pended for necessary supplies. Again
and again, coming In from the open
sea, in the darkness that precedes the
dawn, they made the dash through that
cordon of blockading vessels, and at
dawn passed in under the protecting
guns of Fort Fisher. ,
j lie uuuicuuvuB vuiumc tinu vu-iiu?
of these Imports and the thrilling ad«
ventures of the blockade'runners have
been splendidly told by one of our dis
tinguished citizens, who shared in
those adventuresv Thes^ stories would
afford ample material for many ad
dresses; but today we j).re thinking
more particularly of the fate of Fort
Fisher Itself.
'‘For three years the commander of
Fort Fisher had ahticipated the day
when the Union commander would at
tempt to silence the guns and close
the port of Wilmington. During the
weary months of waiting, with all |
materials and timbers available and
with all the skill of engineering the
defenses had been strengthened. The
gun pits had been reinforced and the
bomb proofs deepened,
“The long-expected day came on
Christmas day, 1864. At that time the
greatest naval force ever assembled
to that date in history formed battle
line opposite Fort Fisher and opened
a terrific bombardment, attempting to
silence the guns and take the fort
from the ocean side. The attempt was
a failure and the naval commander re
ported that the task was impossible.
“It was in the 4mind of President
I Lincoln himself that the plan of the
i second attack originated. It consisted
in the landing of troops above the fort
under protection of the .ironsides and
gunboats and the assault by land un
der 'the same protection. Admiral
Portei* was assigned command of the
naval forces and General Terry ef the
land forces.
"The expedition appeared off the
coast on the morning of the 12th of
January. That night the troops were
landed and began preparations for the
attack, extending their lines across
to the river. Dn the 13th and 14th
the entire naval force of 60 or more
vessels hammered the fort with their
heaviest shells. The land batteries re
plied continuously and with telling
effect. j
"The infantry of the attacking forge
numbered about 8,000, The .defense of
Fort Fisher had been 'entrusted to
Gen. Braxton Bragg. > His force con
sisted of approximately 6,0(10 seasoned
troops in reserve, with a garrison Of
about 1,000 at the fort. Under General
Bragg were Gen. W. H. C. i Whiting,
with headquarters below Wilmington,
and Col. William Lamb in1 Command
of the fort. ;
"The enemy’s position and plan:was
soon discovered. General Whiting, at
once requested that attack be madee
upon the enemy’s rear. At the same
time continuous service of the guns
rendered reinforcement of the garri
son essential. There was no move on
Bragg's part except to send about seven
or eight hundred men to reinforce the
garrison at the fort. Message after
message was sent, but nothing re
sulted. . ,
* General wniung reauzi-u
out assistance thu defense of the fort
would be desperate but hopeless. Great
soldier that he was, he moved his
headquarters to the fort, and upon
joining Colonel Lamb, said, ‘Colonel,
you and your garrison are to be sac
rificed, I have come to share your fate.
“During the 13th and 14th the .shell
ing was continuous and terrible, reach
ing at times 'an intensity of 146 shots
per minute. During this period there
occurred two deeds of Individual hero
ism which are worthy of mention. This
was before the days of the telephone
and for the commander to direct the
fire of his guns it was necessary that
messages be sent. This duty was be
ing performed by, a group of boys,
junior reserves, perhaps 16 or lT^years
of age. One of them returned breath
le«s to the general’s post after mak
ing one delivery and showed evidence
of strain when his turn came next.
With all of the sympathy of a father
General Whiting took the lad by the
hand and went with him over the shell
torn surface under the terrific fire and
delivered his own message. The cour
age of the boy was restored and on
the final day when every man was
called to duty on the parapets he died
as becomes a soldier.
"The second deed was a repitition of
a similar one performed by the same
soldier during the first bombardment.
At thav time a shell cut the flag from*
its staff and was replaced by Private
Christopher C. Bland. The second time
this occurred. In the midst of the awful
bombardment, Bland volunteered and
again replaced the Stars and Bars upon
Its staff. Here was a deed, twice done,
equal In bravery to that of Sergeant
Jasper at Fort Moultrie, and it is fit
ting that his name should be recorded
upon the marker that stands upon
this spot as a permanent memorial to
him and others like him.
"But to return to the main course of
events: On the morning of the 15th
the enemy had completed his prepara
tions and was ready for the advance.
A rear guard of two negro brigades
was left to face General Bragg's force
of 6,000, and the main body set out
to capture the fort. The advance was
covered by renewed vigor In the bom
bardment from the fleet. In spite of
the necessary losses the defenders
manned every possible gun and turned
then to effective account against the
advancing columns. So effective was
the resistance that it was 2:30 in the
afternoon before they could approach
within assaulting distance. At that
time the fleet ceased to pour Its in
fernal stream of fire except upon the
inner defenses and the whlBtles of
every boat sounded the charge. At the
same time a battalion of marines and
seamen was landed from the ocean side
and joined In the charge. For seven
and a half hours the struggle lasted.
At every angle the enemy was met
with grape and canister and with
deadly rifle fire: but in spite of death
the advance continued. Within the fort
ammunition was growing scarce, every
available round was taken from the
cases of the dead and wounded. At
last an entrance was effected and from
traverse to traverse, from parapet to
parapet the fighting continued in mor
tal struggle. About 4:30 General
Whiting received his mortal wound and
at 6:30 sent his final appeal for help to
General Bragg. A little * later, while
on top of a parapet, leading his men
In an effort to dislodge the enemy,
Colonel Lamb received his severe
wound in the hip. Major Reilly con
tinued the defense as long as resist
ance was possible, every man selling
his own life at double the cost to the
enemy. There was no surrender, but
the garrison was simply crushed In by
the weight of numbers. Resistance
ceased at 10 o’clock. Fort Fisher had
fallen and with it the last hope of
the Confederacy.
"Had the attack been made from the
rear, the story might have been differ:
ent. ‘Of all sad words of tongue or
pen, the saddest are these, “It might
have been.’" Why whs it not made?
Was It cowardioe, or-was the God Of
Battles bringing to pass what other
wise could not havo been?- Who shall
Isay? Be that as It may, the detondors
of Fort Fisher had here exhibited the
highest qualities of courage and devo
tion, the same spirit that character
ized the Immortals at Thermopylae;
and the glory of their heroism lights
up the darkest hour in the history of
North Carolina.”

EXPERT DISCUSSES
. CONTROL OF WEEVIL
Dean Williams, of State College,
Treats Subject ih Series
of Papers
RALEIGH, Jan: 14,-^-The importance
of planting cotton only on "good open,
well drained land suitable for the crop,”
is stressed by Dean C. B. Williams, of
North Carolina State college, in the
first of a series of ai tides dealing with
the control of the boll weevil.
"In 1919, the cotton boll weevil made
Us entry into the.southern border of
North Carolina. Since that time North
Carolina cotton growers have watched
the progress of the weevil and have
been wondering and planning how they
might begt meet its coming into their
different communities. The weevil has
now spread beyond the southern bor
der counties of the state and under
favorable conditions for its- develop
ment, unless more effective means are
devised to check it, may be expected
to make, progress northward and east
ward into other cotton growing coun
tries until the whole state is covered.
"Everyone fam^iar with the cotton
boll weevil knows that unless our cot
ton-growers recast their former meth
ods to effectively meet its coming they
will hereafter have great difficulty in
producing cotton profitably.
“Other things being equal it is ex
pected that .infestation will naturally
be. greater in the swampy and .wooded
areas near the coast and less In inten
sity and damage as one goes from the
coast westward. Outside of the ex
treme eastern part of the state, grow
ers who adopt suitable methods of
crop rotation; plant seed of suitable
early fruiting and high producing va
rieties; fertilize in such a way as to
produce a goodly and early yield; plant
the crop early and cultivate thorough
ly and rapidly throughout the season;
and practice other • good farming
methoods that are used by our best
farmers, should get good yields.
"Those who attempt to grow cotton
on poor land with poor and late cultiva-.
tion; without systematic crop rotation
or soil improvement; and ■ plant their
cotton late, using late fruiting varies
ties will suffer the' greatest damage
from the- ravages of the boll weevil.
"As a general proposition, persons
who attempt to grow cotton under the
latter plan will find it unprofitable and
hence will be put out of business in a
short time. Those who practice good
and effective methods, outside of the
low-lying and heavy wooded areas of
the state, will be able to continue to
grow cotton and to make it as profitable
as in the past, provided the crop is
economically produced and reasonable
prices are secured for it after produc
tion.
The aDove is Dasea upon cue expe
rience of the best farmers of the south
of us, .who during the past years have
been contending with the boll weevil
and who have been able to produce
goodly yields of cotton at a profit un
der normal conditions.
"In this first article it Is wished
to impress the Importance of planting
cotton only on good open, well-drained
land suitable for the crop. The land
should be broken early and allowed to
settle before planting time. This is
the time when our cotton growers
should plant a systematic attack. They
should !»>t become panicky, for outside
of certain sections, farmers will be
able to grow cotton profitable, provid
ed the boll weevil is met promptly and
in the right way and reasonable prices
are secured at the end of the season
for the cotton produced.
"The cheapest and most practical
methods, that farmers will have to de
pend upon, certainly to a great ex
tent, in fighting this pest, will be those
which they can apply their general
farming operations to reduce the num
ber of boll weevils that go through the
winter and emerge in the spring to
the smallest number, and those that
will aid in helping to get a good crop
of bolls set early in the season before
the weevils have Increased to destruc
tive numbers in the cotton fields,” the
article concludes.
Modification of the
Volstead Act to be
' Asked by Union Labor
CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 14.—Mobiliza
tion of the forces of American organi
zed labor for a modification of the Vol
stead act, which would provide for
the manufacture and sale of beer and
light wine, was arranged for At a con
ference held today between \ Samuel
Gompers, president of the Ataeriean
Federation of Labor, and the. general
executive board of the Brewery Work
ers International Union at that organi
zation’s headquarters here.
“We plan to make America once
more the home of the sane and the land
of the free,” the noted labor leader de
clared, following an all day conference
with the board members, who represent
every section of the United States and
Canada.
While the conference was held in
secret, it was announced that plans
were discussed for a nation-wide drive
for a revision of the prohibition law
and that every member of congress
would be personally interviewed and
made acquainted with the position
labor takes on the prohibition
"Wine and beer of light
content are sure to come pack and they
will come back very soon,” declared
Mr. Gompers, who made a hutried trip
from Washington to attend the confer
ence.
Asked if he favored a restoration of
the saloon, Mr. Gom»ers explosively de
clared "No, no body does. The saloon
is an institution of the dark age. It is
gone forever. And whiskey as a bev
erage also is a thing of the past.”

Adequate Kailroad
Credit Will Provide
Cheap Coal Supply
WASHINGTON, ‘ -Jan.1 14.—In the
strengthening of railroad credits, and
the maintenance of peaceful industrial
relations a ttfas- can be found to pro
vide a more adequate and more reason
ably priced coal supply for the nation,
according to report of a special com
mittee of the American Railway asso
ciation filed today with th _> United
| States > coal commission.
If regulative bodies and commissions
will adopt "such an attitude towards !
the railroads as will convince the pub
lic that money invested in railroads
will receive a fair ret.urn,’’ the report
said, carriers will'be able to increase
facilities to insure transportation of j
the supply, .while prevention of strikes ,
would allow regulation production!
| without congestion, such as that which j
1 now develops when consumers endeav
I or to take in all of a winter’s supply

I The report pointed out that since
1910 the number of bituminous coal
I mines has more than doubled, while
the output of coal per mine, figured on
an annual basis, had decreased. This, !
it was stated, was demonstrated “infla- !
tion" in the industry and put a strain
upon the railroads, in that they were
required to attempt to distribute cars
among all the new mines, and likewise!
keep available and increasing reserve i
of cars and locomotives for serving j
mines that operated only on a part time I
