Nally, vice president and general man ager of the postal Teiegrapn-iiuue company, on being shown the reply of the New York Telephone company the charge that it was diverting tele grams from the Postal company to the Western Union, said: "The New York Telephone company says It has given the Western Union the code address "Telegram. What riL'ht has It to glvi- the Western Union the exclusive ownership of that word? The law compels the telephone com pany to treat both telegraph compa nies impartially. All of the decisions are to that effect, yet the Bell Tele phone company, which haB a monop oly In New York city and other places, uses that monopoly to divert all the telegraph business It can collect to the .Western ITniom- even though the sender of the message does not uesig Jnate the Western Union.

Telegrams have been handled by telephone all these years and the Postal company has Impartially re ceived Its share until very recently; nil of which bears evidence of an intent and not mistake. It la reasonable to suppose that the telephone girls would divert our business In such country wide fashion unless they nao Been en couraged to do so? The trouble Is with the new policy of the telephone company and not with the telephone girls. "Then the telephone company says that the .Western Union has advertised that Its messages will b received n telephone.

Long presiding, MILL OPERATIVES AID POLICE CLASH Representative Underwood Ad- vocates a Policy of Reciproc ity Instead of Present Re taliatory Plan. FORESHADOWS CHANGE IN TRADE RELATIONS Should Democrats Gain Nation al Control, Commercial Atti tude Toward Other Nations Would Be Altered. Washington, April fi. Abandon ment of the existing retaliatory tariff system and the adoption Instead of a policy of reciprocity will lie advo cated at the next session of congress by Representative Oscar W. Under wood of Alabama, democratic leader of the house and chairman of the ways and means committee. His de cision to follow this course foreshad ows a radical change in American tariff relations with the rest of the world, should the democrats win in the national campaign this year. Mr. Underwood has given no en couragement to the recommendations of Mr. Knox, secretary of state, for amending the existing maximum tar iff law. This now provides that when country discriminates in a tariff nse against the United States, by giving more favorable tariff terms to neither nation, the president mny Im- ose on ilutlalile imports irom me ountry so discriminating an aildi- nal duty of 25 per cent ail valorem. his In tho big stick Idea. Mr. Underwood said that this Idea f tariffs had failed in Europe years go and that it failed when the Unlt- d States proposed to exercise h ealnst Canada, for the reason that uch a heavy increase of tariff aginst morts from Canada would have In ured the United States more tnan Canada. - - - Fight Ovit Canadian Hour. Mr. Knox desired that the law bo mended to permit the president to graduate the retaliatory duty from ve to 25 ucr cent and to select nny r nil Imnorts to be so taxed. This recommendation is supported by many Interests which realize that heir grievances against foreign gov- rnments are not sufficient to justify he United States In applying me maximum tariff to air the ilutinnie innorts from such countries.

No single article of Im port may now he selected for retalia tlon. Twontv-flve per cent aq vino rem must be ndded to the existing nrlff on all dutiable articles. Nor, according to past rulings, mny an in tercolonial reciprocal agreement deemed a discrimination. be Mr. Underwood said that he was onDosed to giving greater flexibility to what he regards a? a faulty ays em, but that he would be glad to see he. tariff system so changed that the highest schedule of rates would be uniformly extended to all nations, while a lower schedule would be re served for negotiation of reciprocal trade agreements. Except for the fear that It would ne onsldered a partisan measure, Mr Underwood paid he would have Intro duced a bill giving effect to this Idea at the present session, Instead, he ntenils to advocate the change of policy at the next session. To Abandon Retaliation. Should the senate pass the Curtis amendment, which Is nn extension of Mr. Knox's "flexibility" recommendn tlon, Mr. Underwood will offer as substitute a bill providing for the abandonment of the retaliatory fea lure of the present law and the adop Hon of a lower schedule of rates to serve as a basis for reciprocity nego nations. He believes that the United States cun nbtaln better terms from trade rivals by bargaining than by threatening them with retaliation, REPLY TO UNION ntlirnclte Oiierators Declare Tlicy Arc Willing to Abide by Commis sion Decision.

SHERIFF AND POSSE AGAIN TAKE TRAIL Man WhosaJHouse Was Visited Notifies ; Officers Who Take Hounds to the Scene. Mount Airy, ,. C April 5. Sldna Allen, one of the outlaws hunted in connection with the lllllsville court house assassinations, was seen again last night In the mountains VI miles from here. .sherill Ilaynes of Surry county, with detectives and blood hounds, has started on the trail. Smith, a reputable resident of the mountains, telephoned Sheriff Haynes hat Allen was at his home last night for food. He told the sheriff to come immediately with bloodhounds. Smith lives between Wurd and Willis gaps i in the section where Allen was last ported four days ago. Smith did ot Inform the sheriff whether he ave Allen food, hot it Is presumed did anil that the outlaw went back nto the mountains to his hiding lace. : Detectives believe Wesley Edwards, he other fugitive, is with Allen in the mountains. They have to round them p today, , Yesterday's pursuit' of the court- ouse assassins still at large had brought no news of success from the posses In the mountains late last Ight. : Jordan Edwards, one of the Allen kinsmen arrested, charged with giving id to Sidna Allen and Wesley Ed wards, the only two outlaws of tho band who liuve not been taken, got a grilling at the hands of the detective chiefs yesterday, im the hope, that he might tell the whereabouts of' his kinsmen. The mountaineer was firm nil did not betray them. He scorned an offer that the $1600 offered for the men should be his If he gave them up. It developed that he Is In Sidna Allen's debt. Detectives have found a great many others in this country In the same plight who fear being suspected of aiding the oltlcers. A change of venue- for the trials of the murders seems certain. Clerk Goad, the only officer of Carroll county court who was not killed In he assassination of March 14, Is the principal witness for the prosecution. The Aliens probably will not lie tried n a court where one of its officers was a prosecution witness. A long distance telephone message was received from Mount Airy, N. C, limiting a rural mail carrier us saying he had been told by negroes on his route that a battle had been fought at Volunteer Gap, Va between moun tain detectives and the two uncaptured outlaws who assassinated the court house officials at Hillsville. The story was that the fugitives, Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards, and two detectives had been killed. Subsequent reports from Mount Airy failed to confirm the report and dis patches from Roanoke. Va., and other points near the Hlue Ridge mountains convinced state authorities that the negroes were romnnclng. IS 15 THE SLAYER OF 17 Voodooist Sings Hymns While Grand Jury Acts in Axe Murders.

He was an educational states man, and a tribune of the people. It is doubtful whether the state has had since the death of Vance a man in public life who could so move the hearts of the people by the spoken word, fine of the greatest tmliticnl soeeches I ever heard was mude by Governor Aycock In Ashe- vllle about 12 years ago. Jt IM.F. J. C. I'RITt HARD. In the sudden and unexpected death of ex-Governor Aycock we are reminded that .. "Death rides in every passing breeze, He lurks In every Hower." , Ex-Governor Aycock was a good citizen in the best sense of the word. He was an able statesman, an accomplished lawyer, a devoted husband and an affectionate father, lie had things calculated to secure the moral our people. He quickened the public conscience on the subject or edu cation and by his eloquence and untiring efforts created a sentiment that put new life into our school system. While governor he was instru mental In securing improved methods and better school facilities, the result of which may be observed In the remotest sections of the state. He took a lively Interest In everything that pertained to the welfare of mankind and his heart was full of the milk of human, kindness. He was a tower of strength to the cause of prohibition, and was' on the right side of every question affecting the moral status of our people. In history he will be classed as one of our ablest governors. At times he was called upon to Bay and do things that for the moment were un popular, but he had the courage and the miinhood to do right, and In the light of subsequent events, those who opposed him at the time learned to appreciate the wisdom of his action. To men like our departed friend we are indebted for our civilisation. He was In the prime of man hood, honored and respected by all who knew him and his future was full of promise, but God has willed that he should leave us and we how in humble submission to the will of Him "who doeth all things well." It is remarkable that our departed friend should have died while de livering an address upon the subject of education. He loved the people of the southland and above all things desired their Intellectual develop ment. While we are pained to learn should have died In the harness battling for the cause which he loveii 89 well. i "To every man upon, this earth Death cometh soon ' or late, And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers And the temiAos nt his gods?" DR. GEORGK T. W1XSTOX, Governor Aycnck was the foremost North Carolinian of this generation; and his death Is an Irreparable blow to the state. He was foremost In oratory, In broad liberal minded statesmanship, In unselfish patriotism, and In genuine love of humanity. It may be questioned whether any son of the state has ever surpassed him in the sum total of his noble talents nnd splendid public services. He was equal to Vance as a popular leader, to Graham as a wise conservative statesman, to Ransom us nn orator, to Rndger In clearcut forcible statements, to Mangum In personal magnetism. He led the state manfully through two great revolutions: the one po litical, the other educational. He was a great leader; wise, inspiring, oold and elegant. His speeches were wonderful masterpieces of eloquence, patltos. humor, sympathy and broa.d ipminim- sense, i lie was a . Blendlil specimen of the Anglo-Saxon race Intellectually, physically and spiritu ally, lie would have represented the race With dignity, power, and honor In any ot its greatest crises In England or irt America. His strongest quality was unselfishness. His tragic death was typical of his life, n life devoted wholly to the welfare of others. His unselllshness and modesty, his honesty and sincerity, his genuine patriotism and sincere humniiitarlsm unfitted him for office seeking and office holding except in great crises when the people instinctively demand him for a leader. In England, or In North Carolina In the earlier days, Aycock would have been kept constantly in the public service. His private life was as lovable aa his public. He was gentle and kind in acts, speech and thought. "None knew him, but to love him; nor named him. but to praise." "He was a man, take him for all in all, "We shall not look upon his like again." JUDGE JAMES H. MERRIMOX. The death of Governor Aycock was the sudden and tragic ending of the life of a great man. Among the great names of North Curolina his will rank with the greatest, and, ae the hour ot his death, It Is hardly oo much to say of him that for all those qualities which go to make up rue greatness, he was without a peer in his state. Everywhere within her borders the news that the beloved governor is no more will bring tears and sorrow for her great bereavement. COTTON GOODS EXPORTS SHOW GREAT INGREUSE Records of All Previous Years Save Two Will Be Broken. Washington, April 6. Exports of cotton manufacturers irom tne unw ed States In February this year were 60 per cent larger than In February 1911, the total value being about five million dollars against three and one- luarter millions for February a year ago. During the eight months ending with February, the total was 32 mil lion against 26 million for the cor responding period last year. Indica tions are that exports of cotton man ufacturers for the full fiscal year end ing 90 days hence will be greater than for any year In the country s history, except 1905 and 1906, when excep tionally high records were made be cause of abnormal demands from Manchuria.

"While governor of North Carolina I was called upon to deliver many ad dreraes," said Mr. Aycock. "Ofttlmea I went to churches on Sunday and when I talked always talked about education." With this assertion out of his lips, he swayed and fell to the floor. The audience thought aa he reeled that It was a part of his gesture. However, the truth was realized to the sorrow of over 6000 teachers of the state of Alabama when he failed to arise and it was announced that he was dead. It was the most tragic happening in this city In years. Mr. Aycock was presented by Governor Enime O'Neal of Alabama, who was among the first to rush to his side when he fell. The Alabama governor In introducing Gov ernor Aycock referred to him as the "educational governor of North Caro lina." It was a glowing tribute paid the former chief executive of North Carolina. . , , Mr: Ayeock -addressed SooO 'people ; Thursday morning, taking as his topic Universal Education, Its Necessity nd Benefit."
