Balloting ' .' Secret. The selection of the men named came during an executive session which con vened at 1 o'clock.. An. open meeting was held, beginning at boon, and, at thl time, it was decided after a Met discussion to allow everyone, who wanted to, to attend the meeting at I o'clock and to remain while all candl- dates wera placed In nomination. When the balloting began, however, no one but the executive committee was al lowed to remain In the room. In the dlscuaslon concerning the open meeting, A. A. Whitener and John M. Morehead engaged in a woruy oai tle lasting several minutes, Mr. Whit ener favoring the open meeting, while ,Mr. Morehead asked that tne commu tes a-o Into aecret session and get through with the work. Others also spoke In favor of "open covenants openly arrived at." Byrd. of Harnett, county, and Gardner, of Carteret, both stated that they had barely managed to scrape up enough money to get to Greensboro to attend the meeting, and they wished to be able to go back to their respective counties and teil the folks what happened and how it hap pened. John Fowler, of Clinton, gave his ideas regarding the proposed "star chamber proceedings." Things were getting warmed up nicely when Ike Meeklna arose, told the assemblage that, he had thought of being a candi date for governor, but had changed his mind upon learning that John Parker would probably run again, and eased the pressure with a funny story or two. Following him. Dr. Ike Campbell came to his feet, declaring that he would be successful in his contest with Dough ton, and delivered himself of a tirade against the election manners of cer tain gentlemen In his- district. He closed with the prophecy that when a Republican Congress had reviewed his case, he would be the representative from his district. By this time the crowd was feeling better. A. A. Whitener moved that the meet ing adjourn for an hour, resuming the session at 1 o'clock to finish the busi ness at hand. His suggestion appeared to be heartily .received and a period of group caucuses followed the ad journment. Koaalaatloao Far Jobs.

(Cowrltbt. 1921, bj PhlladelDbla Public Ledfer.l Yiasnington, March 24. The adminis tration la reluctant to discuss Euro pean relations, whether the league of nations or the Russian trade situation, with any special representative of for eign powers. Whatever the Intention of Prance in sending M. Vivlanl here President Harding wishes to treat the Viviani visit as one of courtesy. The administration Is informed that M. Vivian! has no diplomatic credentals trom tne jrrench government. If he had any it is held that the state do partment would have received notice of them from the French embassy. As It has not been so notified It assumes that il. Viviani has no diDlomatic atatna The Harding administration is ap parently relieved that this Is the case. If Viviani's visit Is one of courtesy he win noi oe able to take up the league of nations or German reparations or any one or the bigger subjects with the administration. If he does bring up these subjects he will be told that the administration is not DreDared to discuss them, because It is waiting de velopments Derore making up its mind fully about Its European policy. An amusing development of the Viviani visit is that a canvass of the senatorial linguists has been made to find out who can talk to the French man in his native tongue. It revealed only two French speakers. Senators Moses and McCormlck, two of the bit terest of the bitter enders. M. Viviani unfortunately does not speak English. The British . government has sensed the unreadiness of the administration to go into this European situation at the present It will not now send any special commissioners to discuss the league with Mr. Harding. It is an nounced on good authority that con versations on this subject will continue to be held through Ambassador Geddes who will be reinforced by such experts from London as be desires. But those conversations are going on. Rusarian Trade Prospects Dampened. The outbreak of bQlshevlern In Haw burg; Germany, has ad a rn ' " ff effect upon the-prpttntTSritT?Aii agreement with Russia. . It is taken by tnose who tear bolshevism as a aigrn that the dangers of revolution In Eu rope have not yet passed. Tha pressure of the allies on Germany for repara tions may cause trouble there. The difficulty which the administra tion faces In Russia is the same is that which It faces everywhere in Europe. The whole situation there is in a state of flux. The administration Is moving: slowly with regard to steps which may take toward stabilising Europe and there Is every reason to believe that It will move equally slowly with regard to re-establishing trade with Russia. There Is no doubt that the sentiment here generally is opposed to following England's lead In regard to Russia. Bolshevism Is Just as much hated and feared as ever. The argument is made that a trade agreement, wlfh Russia though not formally a recognition of that government is a step In that direc tion, that it will strengthen the hands of Lenine and perhaps enable him to continue in power. On the other hand ft is urged that with England. Germany, Italy and i Japan entering into trade with Russia I nothing is to be gained by this coun try's holding out. The question now whether the trading with Russia will aid the bolshevik regime or gradually lead to the Russians becoming less radical Is sure to be tested in any event with various European powers trading with Russia. Europe exce-pt France has definitely haandoned its tactics of starving out bolshevism. There have always been two views on this ques tion. One was that bolshevism could be suppressed by treating Russia as beyond the psle. The other was that this show of enmity made the Russian peasants believe that foreign powers would restore csarism and bring back the old aristocratic landholders. Others kept the peasants true to Lenine. Re sumption of trade with Rusnia accord ing to this view would lead the peas- nta io reject Lenine and communism. The administration will probably wait nd see. Tke Reaction U Cool. The first reaction to the news that Russia had asked for a trade agree ment and that Secretary Hughes was in clined to see advantages in such an agreement has plainly been cool. Newspapers reaching here today give no indication of any large demand among the business interest for trade with Russia. Certain mnufa turers of railroad supplies and of agrirulrural machinery hope to see trade resumed, seeing opportunities in Jupi'lyinj; thv railroads and farms of r.u-sia P.ut bankers are not ?x.-ited or the pos sibility of development in the land of Lenine and foreign trade people gen erally see larger pussibilm-s t lae where.

Ington nf AiAO On Ike Return Trip To Prison. Washington. March 24. Unattended and without the knowlers of the pub lic, Eugene V. Debs. Imprisoned social ist leader, came to Washington today from Atlanta penitentiary, and for three hours discussed his esse with Attorney General Daugherty. The un precedented trip of Mr. Debs was made with the approval of President Hard ing who recently requested Mr. Daugh erty to review the case of the social ist leader and make a recommendation on it. The attorney general. In announcing late today that Debs had visited Wash ington and was on his way back to the Atlanta penitentiary, said that while there was no precedent for call ing a prisoner to Washington without a guard, It had been decided In con ference with President Harding that inasmuch as Debs had defended him self at his trial he should coma her to answer in person such Inquiries as the government desired to ask. Mr. Daugherty added that he believed he had the authority to place the pris oner on his honor and that he had as sumed full responsibility. Debs arrived in Washington early In the day, went to the department of Jus tice about 9:45 o'clock, conferred with Mr. Daugherty and Guy D. Goff, as sistant to the attorney general,, from about 10:30 to 1-30 o'clock, and left Washington at :J0 o'clock on the re turn trip to prison. His movements from the time he left Atlanta, yesterday were kept strictly secret except to a few officials of the department of Jus tice. For that reason newspaper men who gathered late in the day for the attorney general's weekly conference, gasped and refused for a minute or two to believe their own ears when they heard Mr. Daugherty saly, "1 don't believe I have much news for you, gentlemen, but regarding Pebs' visit I have had a statement prepared," then with a brief explanation Mr. Daugherty gave out tha following statement: "In connection with the Investiga tion of the Debs case, and after con ference with the President and with his approval, I had Debs come here for the purpose of making certain in quiries of him. He has returned to Atlanta. I have aaked him to refrain from saying anything for publication or otherwise regardng the subject of the inquiries made, I am sure 6 wU L!!!ft,anJnWln wiv rurg--JUgylftU. ri.FTuss.s matter or anymuig turn m at too plaoe on his journey or during his stay here. Debs presented his own case to tne trial court and jury. He was permit ted to do so here. The Debs case, as I have said before, stands alone. I could not. of course, go to him. What took place and the Information I have ac quired will be reported in due time only to the President, and that In con nection with any recommendation that may be made when the investigation Is concluded. Debs came here without guard and so returned to Atlanta. Colonel Guy D. Goff, assistant to the attorney general, was present during the Inquiries." Mr. Daugherty refused to comment on the presentment made by Debs of his case and declined to answer any questions as to what recommendation he would make to President relatrve to he would make to the President relative to the socialist leader, convicted prlsdnment for violation of the espion age act. Debs. Mr. Daugherty said, looked and acted during his visit much as any other man. He was said to be In fairly good physical condition, although ap parently somewhat nervous. The pris oner's physical condition, Mr. Daugh erty added, necessarily would be taken Into consideration by the government In Its decisions in his case. In the penitentiary at Atlanta Debs Is em ployed part of the time in the hospital and part In the library. Strict orders were given by the at torney general, department officials said, that Debs' visit should be kept secret until Mr. Daugherty was ready to announce it and the orders were successfully carried out. Debs reached the department of jus tice this morning about a quarter of an hour before t he attorney general arrived, it was said. Acting under in structiens, attendants ushered him into the ff ice of Frank liihbs, the attor ney general's secretary, who seated him in a sma 11 private room adjoin ing Mr. Daugherty a office.

(Kr Lewd Wirt) By THEODORE TILLER. Washington, March 14. Compartn exchange gamblers in farm products to "vultures that besiege a wounded deer," Senator Tom Mefltn, of , Ala bama. today called for either the reg uiation or abolishment of ootton an grain exchanges. His remarks wer incident to the appointment of Senator Norris, of Nebraska, as chairman of th senate committee on agriculture, and the plan of Chairman Norris and Sena tor Capper to offer regulatory leglsla tlon. "The exigencies of the hour," said the Alabama senator, "tiomand leglila tion of a very stringent nature. Th cotton and grain exchanges as operated today are gambling dens pure and slm pie. They are doing to prostrate agri culture what the vulture does to the wounded deen In normal times agri tulture can withstand in a measure the onslaughts of those who seek through exchange manipulation to de press the pries of farm products, but abnormal times like these agriculture, like the wotmde deer prone upon the ground, Is unable to. repel the attacks of those who would profit by Its ml fortune while they feed and fatten upon its very life substance. If we cannot regulate the cotton and grain exchanges so as to prevent a thieving band of gambling marauders frpm manipulating them so as to deprive the American farmer of fair prices and liv ing profits, I am Ink favor, as soon as Congress converge in April, of passing a joint resolution puttlrg them out of existence. The Interstate Commerce commission today entered sn order suspending tin til April 27 tha operation of certain schedules appearing in tariffs of the Louisville and Nashvlire railroad for increased rates on ooal to points In North Carolina and other states. The .suspended schedules provide for a uniform Increase of SO cents per net ton in the rates on ooal, carloads, from points on tht Cumberland rail road to points on the Louisville and Nashville railroad In Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Car olina, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia and on connecting lines in Kentucky and Tennessee, the operation of which was su sn ended Until March Is. 1921. by an order previously . eoierad in a me 4 Through tha -National Catholic Wei'. fare council there was mads public here today a tribute fo Cardinal Gib bone by the Rt. Rev. Leo Haid, O. S. B., ordinary of North Carolina. The trlb ute of the North Carolina churchman was among a number telegraphed to Washington by Catholic dignitaries tnroughout the country. The Rt. Rev. Haid said: "We all deeply mourn the death of Cardinal Gibbons. His love for his country, for his fellow men, was sec ond only to his love of God and his church. - Ever prudent and discreet, he tempered his every utterance wnn charity. "The Catholics of North Carolina will always cherish his memory. He was their first bishop and never lost his love for them. "May God reward and crown his no ble, devoted life as He only can." In connection with the death of Car dinal Gibbons, which was mourned here today by everyone from the Pres dent down through the ranks of offi clais to thd humble citlsen, Catholic autobiograhers included in the review of his long life a recounting of his ca reer as the first Catholic bishop af North Carolina. Caidlnal Gibbons went to North Car olina following the Civil war, and, as the resume of his life shows, when carpet-bagging was rampant in that fctate. The National Catholic Welfare council quotes from a description of his bishopric In North Carolina written years ago In the Baltln-ore 8un. The Btory is of Interest today to men of all creeds. Beginning with his study for the priesthood, the narrative cont Inucs : "Archbishop Spauldlng accompanied him to Wilmington, .V. C, to Install him, and, as a writer in the Baltimore Sun has said: "He often recalled his first night there, when he and the archbishop stepped off the train. North Carolina was in the hands of the negroes and the carpct-baggers the horrors of the reconstruction era were In full swing The negroes were hawng a celebration, and were marching through the streets in a torchlight procesiston. The city was like an inferno. It was among such scenes as this that the bishop he Sn his labors in his new fields. "He established churches In towns where there were a (ew Catholics and these grew into flourishing congrega tions. He inspired those of his faith with his own zeal and they were con tinued with him. In four years h .ioubled the t'aiholic population of the rtate. lie allowed nothing to interfere with him. neither th' prejudices of the 1 fople. the hardships that were his from the beginning-, nor ev n the hor ror of reconstruction. "It is difficult in these days to com I rehend the magnitude of th - tafk t he new bishop had he-'n set to perform.
