' ' Guzctle-News Durcau, The Hotel Italeigh, ' Raleigh, Feb. 28. With the administration looking to .Morehead and Butler to pass resolu- . tions indorsing Taft, these gentlemen , ure faced with such a strong Roose velt sentiment that a definite course of procedure lb difficult. In fact Morehead is already saying that the indorsement of the, ""'.ministration is H mutter purely for state conventions. There Is a strong undercurrent for an unlnstructed - delegation. Duncan has declined, in advance of the Morehead meeting, to discuss re ports that he is for Roosevelt, but a statement clearly defining his position will be forthcoming tonight. Dun can's friends regard the report as, nothing short of one of Butler's dia bolical plans to injure Duncan with the administration. The report that the Duncan men pn the celebrated list of "ten" ure to be substituted with Morehead men is classed in the same category. , . Charlotte will likely get the conven , lion to select delegates to the natlonul convention. 'Marlon Butler is" the or gunlxutlon candidate, according to re ports, for national committeemen. . Republican politics looked up a bit for the first time In several years here toiiay. This afternoon at 1:30 o'clock the Republican stute executive torn initlei met to fix the time and place fur holding thi: state convention and i-J"T'r?Sr .MW". Hf-.trt-lnolwed -toJ'thrhk that the Washington, Feb. 28. Reversal of judicial decisions by popular vote, as proposed by ex-President Roosevelt In his Columbus address last week, was denounced In the senate yesterday by Senator Raynor of Maryland us "the most dangerous doctrine ever brought forwurd by anyone who has the slight est regard for the stublllty of our In stitutions und whose opinion is entitled to uny weight jr respect." Senator Rayner declared his belief that the republicans could nominate .no man who would be easier to defeat for the presidency than Col. Roosevelt. Senator Rayner the referred to Col. Roosevelt's speech ut Columbus proposing a reversal of judicial decis ions by populur vote and. declares that 'If a proposition of this sort had been advanced, 'by an ordinary agitator or by an anarchist no attention would be paid to It; the people would under stand that It wus utterly meaningless, and It would Involve no actual danger to the republic. We must realize, how ever,; that this is the utterance of a political 'leader, who occupies toduy as prominent a placu before the pub lic us anyone In the country, who is gifted with tremendous power, who commands great popularity, and who for seven years occupied the position of president ot the United States, und who 1s now-a eaudldulo again for of flee." :. Senator Ruyner them quotes an edl tnrial in a leading newspaper to the effect that .Col. Roosevelt's proposal is the craziest that ever' emanated either from himself or any other statesman since the organization 01' our government by law. . Hostile to Court DoriMlons..

RESTRAINT OF TRADE SHOWN, 'TIS DECLARED Claims of Trust Officials in Sworn Testimony are Con tradicted by Government Experts. Washington, Feb. 28. The house steel trust Investigating committee to day made public the result of the In uuiry Into the books and minutes of the United States Steel corporation conducted by Farquhar J. McRae, an expert accountant. The McRas report reaches the con clusion that the steel corporation op crates In restraint of trade and pre vents competition through a manipu lation of prices, through the Influence of tho so-called "Gary dinners, by FATE GOSS HELD TRAGEDY Coroner's Jury Decides That the Three B enson Men Were Murdered.

' It is thought that at leust 400 re publicans will be present at the ban' iiuet, although some of the leaders ot the other faction will not, it is be lieved, be present, , ' Mr. Morehead declined to talk of the Roosevelt candidacy, stuting that that v.'ati a proper mutter for the con vention. ' lix-Seimtnr Marion liutler urrlved from Washington last night. Outcome Seemed I'nccituin. On the eve of the rntetlng of the committee about the only thing detl- nlte seemed to bo a progrum of toasts arranged for the convivial feast to night und even this Is said to be sub ject to hasty revision. Development of Roosevelt sentiment among the muss of republicans Is attributed as the cause of the hasty use of blue pencils by some of the prospective speakers. So strong Is said to be this sentiment lhat.lt is quite possible that un effort will not bo made to pass a resolution endorsing Taft, fearing the precipitation of a big row. Truly the Morehead ship is in uncertain seas and that ancient murlner. Butler, may not even be able to steer it clear of the breakers, If an attempt Is made to en- ' dorse Taft. From Morehead's rooms, Secretary Grlssom let it be known that Tom Settle would likely be the choice of that crowd for governor, on a local : option plunk. Hutler Is much, in evi dence, carefully groomed, and among other things is down on the program to respond to a toast, "Principles Will Win," while Morehead" speaks on "Political Independence." Morehead, however, is quite worried about the outlook, for well laid plans seem about to "gang" aglee.' Following Is u list of the speakers and toasts: Thomas Settle, toastmas ter and welcome.

' last criticism goes perhaps a little too fur when It says that it is the craziest proposnl that ever emanated from himself, because I have from time to time tuken the liberty to submit to .the senate a number of ether proposals of the ex-president which are equal to it In this regard. He has always been hostile to the decisions of the courts whenever they conflict with his own views, and he has over und over again, in private and in public, given expression to his opposition to them. "Now, there Is a motive for all this, and there is a cause for this at tack upon the institutions of the lund. It arises from the fact that when Mr, Roosevelt was president he was not allowed to Influence and control the decisions of the courts, and they declined to pass under the domination of his arbitrary und im perious will. ' "During the whole of his adminis tration he ha dun idea lingering In his mind, that it was the duty of the courts to carry out the policy of tho evecutive brunch of the government, und this belief was connected with an other Idea, and that was that, so far us executive functions were concern ed, he was absolutely supreme, unlim ited by the specifications of the in strument that created them." In order to "do away with a great deal of unnecessary intermediary pro cess," the senator said he had written a few amendments to the constitution for the ex-president which he would like to tender him "if he is again call ed to the throne.'' TheBe amendments, from which he read at length, would Invest in tho colonel all the powers of government, legislative, executlvo and Judicial, in order that he might prop erly govern the people "who have called upon me to preside over their j destinies,',' etc. control of ruw. materials and throur.h lor a rree nana w uoiermine me mui a B.vstcm of interlocking directors !n ter Ior lue' various companies.

Morgan & Co., receive' ap proximately $70,000,000 In cash prol'.t.s for organizing the big steel combine, and that the net profits of tho con cern for the first nine years of fU ex istence were more than a billion rin! lars, Steel corporation officials objected to producing their books before ihe committee in this city, but consumed to place them freely at the iliMp.iH.il of an expert to be named by the com mittee. Mr. McRae made a thorointn study of the books and minutes, and in his reuuut -to, the?eumBl-ttK-v: be pointed ont these salient feature. That J. P. Morgan & Co.. hemlinr,' the syndicate which organized the Fteel corporation, received a cash rront of $69,300,000 of which $:! 500,000 was for promotion, with an ideational commission of $6,800,000 for a bond conversion scneme.

The inter- slate commerce commission's order reducing certain classes of freight rates from New Orleans to Montgom. edy, Selma, Mobile and Pensacola wus today unnuled by a court decision, The decision handed down by Judge Archibuld of the commerce court is certain to add considerable fuel to the controversy already acute between the commission and the commerce court. The court declares that con gress never intended to clothe the commission with the wide authority, it has assumed. It Is further asserted that the court could discover nothing in the record in support of the com mission's conclusions or to justify the reductions In tho rates It ordered. After an elaborate discussion of the evidence submitted, the court opinion concludes: ' , , "Counsel for the commission and for the government simply rely on the authority of the commission to determine what Is a reasonable rate and the conclusiveness of Its Judg ment wjj,ere It has done so, against which It was argued the courts can afford no relief unless the rate lixed Is shown to be confiscatory. This con tention mutt' be respected. In our judgment It was never intended to confer on the 'eommission any. such unrestrained and undirected power, it 4 not within tb tttnwntesion' au thority to reduce rates in this or any other ease not merely against the weight of the evidence produced to sustain them, but without anything substantial to warrant the conclusion lioston, Feb.

WANTS JUAREZ CLOSED Mexican Consul I'rgeft That tin; Ciiltcd States Korhld the Kxportalion of Goods There. Wushlngton, Feb. 2. The Mexican consul at El 'Paso today requested the American collector of customs there to forbid the exportation of. American goods Into Juarez and urged that the rebel port be recognised by the United States as closed. " The treasury depart ment Is considering the question with the departments of state and Justice. The real leader of the revolutionary movement. Consul General Hanna re ports, is Emlllo Vasquei Gomez.

Existing rates were not shown to be unjust or unreasonable and there was no valid basis for the commis sion's conclusion.!' This was the first case argued be- rore tho commerce court after Its es tablishment more than a year ago. It proved a stubborn proceeding. The court took full time for its consider ation. It was brought by the Louis ville & Nashville railroad In an effort to modify or annul the commission's order of reduction. It was declared that If the commission's order fixing what In its opinion were reasonable rates were enforced, the loss to the Ixiiilnvllle & Nashville would be $200,- 000 annually. New Orleans urged that that city be put on an equality of rates to southeastern territory with New York. Baltimore, Carollnas and. Virginia.

A great many men,. too, have been reading the page just to see how many names they can locate. At first thought it might seem to be easy, after one tries it he or she will have to confess thait the names cannot be found very well withuut reading all of the advertisements; however, the page has'been well read, for the manager states that only one person has failed to have the name marked when he called with the dol lar, bo .that several dollars have al ready been given away. . The thing Is made the more interest ing by changes of plan, putting some Kur-names In a certain advertisement and the initials In another. This has added quite a little zest to the work f finding the names. As tho advertisements ure interest ingly written it Is really not In the nature of a task to read them and tho reader Is more than likely to learn several things that he or she has been wanting to know.
