So PER OOPT COMM1 XfEE ACT IS NOT BINDING No Quorum Voted in Favor of Mott Resolution, Accord ing to Pearson's Information. COMMITTEEMAN FLAYS MOTT RESOLUTION Says Morehead Coterie Hasn't Right to Excommunicate Nine-Tenths of State Republicans. National Commiteeman Pearson made the following statement to The Gazette-News today: "There were several erroneous statements published in regard to the meeting of the state republican committee proposing to excommuni cate nlne-tentlis of the republican party in the state. It was printed in the newspapers, giving an account of tills most extraordinary meeting, that the Hon. Charles H. Cowles, of Wilkes, was present and voted for the Mott resolution. He declares that he was not present, but if he had been present, would have opposed the res olution. Charles E. Greene, of Mit chell, Is reported to have been pres ent, and to have voted for the reso lution. He declares that he was not within one hundred miles of Greens boro that day, but that if he had been present, he would have earn estly opposed the resolution. He fur ther declares over the long distance telephone this morning that Mitch ell county, the banner republican county of the state, has already held its county convention, and has re fused emphatically to endorse Mr. Taft or the action of the Chicago convention. He further declares that the republicans of Mitchell are 100 to 1 in favor of Roosevelt. "Under the Mott resolution, If en forced, these loyal life-long republi cans will be disfranchised and de nied the prlvlege of voting for their own county officers unless -fhey hold nnother convention and surrender their political convictions by Indors ing Mr. Taft. A long distance tele phone message received this morning from Mr. Gillian Grissom, secretary of the state committee declares that he thinks there were only 11 votes cast for the resolution. "As the committee consists of 22 members. If Mr. Grissom's Impression Is correct, then no quorum voted in favor of the resolution, and it should be distinctly noted that one of the 11 reported to have voted In the af firmative, and in this list of 11, Is Mr. Rovert W. Harris of Jackson county, assuming to represent his father who has heretofore been a member of the committee. Section 6 of the republi can plan of organisation reads as fol lows: 'No member of any executive committee or delegate or alternate duly chosen shall have power to dele gate his trust or authority to an other.' When it was announced at the meeting that Mr. Charles J. Har ris had resigned. Chairman Morehead y said to have declared, 'I appoint In the place of Mr. Harris the worthy son of a worthy sire. Now I ask Chairman Morehead to Inform the one hundred thousand republican free to Inform the 100,000 republican free men of the state where he got the au thority to appoint a member of the executive committee more than 00 days before the date of election. In conclusion I desire to invite the atten tion of Dr. Mott, especially on ac count of his love of history and phi losophy, to the fact that It has been 239 years since the English parliament passed what is known as the test act which has long since been repealed and under Its provisions only those nun were punished who had already committed some sin or crime. No I attempt was made to excommunicate In advance of any overt act. "I should like also to Invite the learned doctor's attention to a fact which he must have overlooked, to wit, that in all organisations, whether religious or secular, the power of ex communication Is lodged solely In th supreme head or suoreme body of such organization. I believe that the learned doctor upon 'sober second thought" will not contend for a mo ment that the state committee Is either the republican party or the supreme representative of thnt party and I would Hits to say finally to the 110,000 republican freemen of the tale that their right to express their approval or disapproval of the work at Chicago cannot arid shall not b denied. They have the right to ex Press their will In every precinct pri mary In all of the 2200 precincts of he state, and the 6000 supporters of Mr. Taft will simply have to take their medicine In accordance with the sov ereign will of the people.

New York, Aug. 10. Although Po lice Lieutenant Charles Becker de clared yesterday that he had nothing to confess In connection with the Rosenthal murder, of which he Is the accused Instigator, District Attorney Whitman learned that the police lieu tenant was ready to make some dis closures under certain condition. The conditions imposed, however, are more than the district attorney Is willing or able 'to grant and he Is waiting for Becker to make other overtures. Strong Influences are being exerted, the prosecutor has learned, to keep Becker from making any disclosures strengthening the evidence regarding alleged gambling graft on the part of the other police officials whose indict ment Mr. Whitman seeks, but the dis trict attorney expressed j strong con viction that Becker eventually would break down. Becker's emphatic statement was "I am not going to confess for I have nothing to confess." The district at torney, however, Fays he Is steadily piling up evidence against the poiice lieutenant which he thinks will alter this attitude. Mr. Whitman also learned that Jack Sullivan, who has been Involved In the murder plot by several witnesses, was ready to make a confession that would corroborate the stories told by "Bald" Jack Rose, "Brldgle" Weber and Harry Vallon who have obtained a premise of len iency for turning state's evidence. It became known also that Giovanni Stanlch, one of the 16 witnesses who appeared before the grand Jury, as an eye witness to the murder, had Iden tified the four men accused of the actual shooting of Rosenthal, and had also Identified Jack Sullivan as hav- HSg iieen on the scene and having left with the murderers in the gray auto mobile Ikvker Visited Rout: In addition to this the district at torney has learned from Richard G. Barter, a notary public, that on. the day after the murder Becker took his attorney, John W. Hart, in a taxlcab to the house where Jack; Rose, tben wanted by the police for the murder, was In concealment. This was the house of Harry Pollok. who, with his wife, was one of the witnesses before the grand Jury. Barter told the district attorney, it was learned, that Becker and Hart had come to his place of employment In the taxlcab on the night of July 17, the day after the murder and had taken him around to Pollok's house. Hart took him inside, he said, leaving Becker, who then drove away in the taxlcab. Barter said he was then asked to witness an affidavit made by Rose than the S 1500 loan which Rose has said was made through him j Becker to Herman Rosenthal, was In fact made by Harry Pollock. This Is the affidavit Rose claims Beckerf orced from him as the price of protecting him from arrest and was to clear Becker of the charge made by Rosen thal before he was shot that the police lieutenant was a partner In Rosen thal's gambling house, Barter said Pollck was not present during the conversation between Hart and Rose as to the affidavit and It was learned that Pollok testified before the grand Jury that he never made the loan named In the affidavit which was produced for the grand Jury's Inspec. tion. The notary public related further that during the conversation he Ye marked "that was a terrible murder wasn't it?" "That was as far as I got on that line of conversation." Barter told the district attorney. "I heard Rose ask Hurt If he had better go to the district attorney's office, but I did not hear the lawyer's office, but I did not hear the lawyer's answer. They left me over In one corner of the room during most of their conversa tion." ' StanlHh, who Is an Austrian of good birth und education, testified before the grand Jury, It Wis learned, that h stood within a few feet of Rosen thai when he fell under the fusllade of bullets. He saw Jack Sullivan, ho said, lean over Rosenthal s ooay ana av "he's dead all right," nnd then drive awav In the automobile Ktaiiish, it was learned, was In the court room when Jack Sullivan was arraigned two days after the murder and positively Identified him.

Officials Are In clined to Favor Candida cies of Roosevelt and Wilson. SOME BOOST COLONEL, OTHERS THE GOVERNOR Many Believe Wilson's Sue cess Is Assured Both Platforms Pleas ing to Labor. New York, Aug. 10. The most en thusiastic of the Roosevelt men among the labor leaders here is Tim othy Htaly, president of the Inter national Brotherhood of Stationery Firemen, who was elected as delegate from the fourteenth assembly district to the third party convention in Chi cago, and who says he has always been an Independent in politics. He was unable, to his regret, he says, to attend the convention. "The platform of the Roosevelt party," he said, "Is radical enough to suit me. and I believe that will be the general sentiment of the workers throughout the country, both, organ ized and unorganized. 1 found in the different cities I visited that there was a strong Roosevelt sentiment which was growing daily, and I would not be surprised if In spite of" his heavy handicap in starting a new party he would be elected. . The people are tired of the old machines and Col. Roosevelt has started the thinking people to reflect on how little the old parties have really accomplished for the workers." Ernest Bohm, secretary of the Cen tral Federated union, while believing, he said, that Col. Roosevelt would poll a large vote, was not so sanguine of his election The Roosevelt plat form, he said, suited him. II such a platform were put In execution," he continued, "It would be a good thing for not only the workers but the citizens generally. It appeals to the middle classes as well as to those who work with their hands. Mr. Roosevelt stood well with the workers during his administra tion as president. He Is a man of ac tion and that Is what the workers Ike." Prominent officers of the American Federation of Labor were inclined to be non-committal on the question of ol. Roosevelt's campaign. Hugh Frayne, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor. who is the personal representative of Samuel Gompers In the east, said he. preferred to say nothing on the ques tion. He remarked that in all prob ability Col. Roosevelt would have large audiences in his campaign, but that did not necessarily mean that he would win In the end. Herman Robinson, commissioner of licenses and formerly general organ- zer of the A. F. and L., said he would prefer to say nothing on the sub ject. S. J. KOnenkamp, president of the 'ommerclal Telegraphers' Union of America, Was not so' non-committal. Be believed that the membership of the American federation of Labor would stand behind Wilson. The democratic platform contained more real pledges to the workers than the platforms of either the republican or the Roosevelt party, he said. "I was, disappointed," he said, "to see nothing In the Roosevelt platform about government ownership of tele graphs. In Februnry, before he threw his hat Into the ring, I spoke to him on tho subject and urged him to em- hod)' the government ownership of telegraphs In his platform. He said he would take the matter under con sideration and that was the last heard from him on the subject." M. J. Neylnnd, delegate of district 1G of the International Association of Machinists, which consists of about 2 locals of machinists, said that little short of a miracle In his opln Ion could prevent the election of Wilson. Wilson's platform Is safe and sane enough for me," he continued "It Is the best of all three plat forms." Bernard J. Lavey, business agent of the Iron moulders' conference board, consisting of 11 local unions of iron moulders In New York and the state of New Jersey, believes that Wilson will be elected and that Roosevelt will help to elect him by a large majority by dividing the republican party. "Gov. Wilson signed every labor measure that was brought up In the legislature of New Jersey since his term of office began," he said, "and the laws In New Jersey ore much bet ter for the workers since he took of fice than they were at any time be fore. "Before he was electees governor New Jersey had an employers llabll Ity law that was a disgrace to the statute book. Now It has one of the best employers' liability laws of any state in this country." Garfcin Joins Third Party. New York, Aug. 10.

Governor Oolqult had not received a reply early today to a message regarding the situ ation on the Mexican border in El Paso county, which lie sent Secretary of War Stlmson yesterday.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 10 Because some of the northern delegates to the re cent progressive convention at Chi cago were anxious to help the south ern negro gitlh ttpresentatlves yet do not know how to go about It, a serious breach In the new party's ranks occurred, according to a story told by Theodore Roosevelt today. The colonel said he had refused to give southern negroes a voice in the meeting. Southern delegates who sympathized with the clamoring blacks told the colonel he was un fair and that they would not abide his decision. Roosevelt immediately analyzed the attitude if the negro delegates to the republican convention and declared that If the protestants wanted to cre ate Buch conditions in the progresslw party they must do without him, his ultimatum convincing them, he ex plained. 'It was the only way," asserted Col Roosevelt. BECKER WELL-TO DO Savings Bank Account! of Police Lieutenant Amount to at Least. 921,000 Say Investigators. New York, Aug. 10. Large sums of money have been deposited In wide ly separated sa vings banks by Police Lieutenant Becker, held In the Rosen thai murder conspiracy, according to members ut the prosecutor's staff. They, said Becker concealed his Iden tity under assumed names when visit lng the different banks. The prosecu tor believes the deposits are the pro cccds of gambling blackmail. The total accounts accredited Becker amount to about $21,000 while his salary Is only $250 a year. Several bank officials have been summoned The bank accounts of other police In spectors are being Investigated. To Argue Harrow Case. Los Angeles, Aug. .10.

AMERICAN VESSELS ACCORDED FAVORS One-Man Government of Zone Provided for Bill Re turns to the House. Washington, Aug. 10. The Panama canal administration bill providing free passage to American ships, pro hibiting railroad-owned vessels from using the waterway, and authorizing the establishment of a one-man gov ernment when the canal is completed, was passed by the senate last night by a vote of 47 to 15. The provision for free tolls which was fought out in the senate Wednesday was en dorsed again just before the passage of the measure. Attached to the bill as it passed the senate "were two important amend ments directed at trust or railroad control of steamship lines. The first, by Senator Reed, would prohibit ships owned by an illegal Industrial combi nation from using the canal; and the second, by Senator Bourne, would force railroads to give up water lines that might otherwise be their com petitors If It were proved that they were stifling competition. Opponents of the free toll provision for American ships, against which Great Britain made formal protest, carried their fight up to the last of the bill's consideration. Just before Its passage, Senator Root moved to strike out the section giving free tolls to American coastwise vessels and Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia rno.ved to strike out the provision for free tolls to American ships in the for eign trade. Both of these motions were defeated by overwhelming votes. An the bill passed, it would permit American coastwise vessels to pass through the canal free, without con ditions, while American foreign trade ships might pass through free If their owners agreed to sell the vessels to the United States at a fair price in time of war or emergency. The great fight of the day centered about the provisions to prohibit rail road-owned ships from using the ca nal. The broad terms of the original house bill, which would have required every railroad In the country to dis pose at once of any steamship lines with which it might otherwise com pete, were not accepted by the senate. This was modified so that railroads would be prohibited only from own ing steamship lines that may operate through the Panama canal. The. Bourne amendment, however, adopted later by a vote of 86 to 25, restored much of the vigor of the anti-railroad provisions of he house bill. It provided that if the Interstate commerce commission should find that any railroad had an interest In a competitive line of steamers, and that such Interest was Injurious to the wel fare of the public, the commission might compel the railroad to dispose of Its steamer connections. Senator Brandegee, chairman of the Interoceanic canals committee of the senate, made an Ineffective fight on the rigid provisions against the rail road ships. After the amendments had been adopted to the house bill, he moved that the whole paragraph relating to railroad control be strick en out. This motion was defeated, 45 to 18. A subsequent proposal by Mr. Brandegee, to permit any ships to use the canal, giving to the In terstate commerce commission power of control over them, also was de feated. The Reed amendment, against trust owned ships, was called up for a sec ond vote before the bill passed und was adopted on final passage by a vote of 36 to 23. The, completed canal bill finally was passed with Senators Burton, Crane, Galllnger, Lodge, Root and other opponents of the free toll nnd antl-rallroad features of it, voting against It. In the form In which It returns to the house, the bill adds to the gen eral scheme for operating and gov erning the Panama canal, provisions for the admission to American reg istry of any foreign-built ships owned by Americans, provided they are op erated wholly In the foreign trade.

Rev. Dr. Crawford Jackson, found er ami general manager of the Juve nile Protective association, which has headquarters In Atlanta and main tains the Junior State, an Institution for defective boys near Athens, Ga., is In the city in the interest of his work. Dr. Jackson will address the congregation of the First Baptist churoh Just prior to the sermon to morrow, and that of the First Pres byterian church just after the Ber- mon. To take a rough, rude boy, and lift him up by frequent little touches of love and wisdom, by oft- repeat ed acts of study and patience, and make of him a shining and useful member of society this Is the art of all arts, and Is more tranatcend ent because the more divine," is the maxim Dr. Jackson has written lor the association. January 11, 1908, the Juvenile Protective association, growing out of tho Juvenile Reformatory committee of 1904, was chartered for this four fold wor;: Building a.id equipping the Jnior State, and causing to be built like institution;-; Juvenile courts and the probation system; Protecting chil dren from cruelty and placing them; Adequate state legislation wherever needed, "Mistakes have been made in this stupendous, but vital work. Various obstacles (here and there have arisen unexpectedly, but steady progress has been made," says their prospectus. "Gratitude goes out to the thou sands who have assisted, and without whose aid progress would have been mposalble. 'Friends of the strayed lambs, the youthful delinquents ot our day, are still being multiplied. Many will yet eallze their duty and delight In their ervlce.

The home features of the Junior State are like those of the average amlly, seeking to bring the children In the home to their best. In the morning bells are rung for rising and coming to breakfast, where prayer is offered, standing, and all Join In the Lord's prayer in closing. In the evening stories are often told or read to the children or some gather around the piano and sing, while others read or play. Other home features will be suggested to all who have had real homes. The Junior State Is also a school. with it teacher In the school room four and one-half hours and the same or a different teacher on the outside dur- ng working hours teaching the child ren industrially. We need better school facilities, and we will get them. We ought to be equipped to teach all the Industries and trades which the young citizens should earn. Lastly, the Junior States Is what the name signifies. What the child is to he father, the Junior State is to the larger state. A democratic state Is self-governing, and we trust these children with the principles of self government, assisting them when ad visable. They have a state constitu tion.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MAY MAKE OBJECTION Officials Who Have Directed Investigation, However, Decline to Discuss Their Attitude. Washington, Aug. 10. An inspector detailed to Investigate the Telefunken wireless towers at Sayvllle, Long Is land, declared today that it is "backed by Germany capital; that all of Its apparatus Is of German manufacture and is Intended to work with a wire less station at Nauen, 3400 miles away," according to a report to the department of commerce. Officials of the state and navy department's de clined to comment as to the probable attitude of this government toward the new station in view of the senate's recent lodge resolution, which de clared the United States would regard with great concern any acquisition of territory of strategic value on the American continents by any interests which might, be under foreign Influ ence. Notice of the foreign-owned wire less plant came to the atentlon of the government, officially, through a prominent member of the New York .Yacht club, near whose country place at Sayvllle the tower has been erected. Important considerations of national policy moved the navy department quietly to dispatch an officer from the New York navy yard to Sayvllle to examine and report upon the struc ture. The department of commerce and labor, being charged with general supervision of that means of commun ication, so far as it affects the navi gation of vessels, took a hand and made a quiet investigation of Its own. It was thought at first that operation of the station might be prevented upon the ground, that like a cable station, it could not be established and operated without a special license from the United States government. This consideration, however, may now give way to the means provided by the radio-communication bill, which after conference upon some minor disagreements between the house and senate will go to President Taft for his signature.
