the alleged political activities of John
D. Archbold and the Standard Oil

Mr. Hearst testified that he knew
nothing as to the Incidents related In
the letters or the circumstances .un
der which Mr. Archbold might have

of Ohio and former Representative
Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsylvania, to
whom sonve of the letters wero ad

The publisher was the chief witness
at the committee s short session to

John D. Archbold and referred to a
projected loan of $50,00 to Uenaxor

Mr. Hearst told the committee noJixd

New Jersey that they think .11 they
have to do is to wait to com back

If he ever saw the originals of the
letters published in his magazine. 'He
said he was not certain, but he be-

"Of whom did you get them?" asked
Senator Clapp. " 1 ; ;,.
Mr. Hearst hesitated a moment.
"I am anxious," he began, "to testl
fy very fully to everything that I am
personally concerned In and every
thing of interest to this Inquiry. Do
you feel that this is essential to the
inquiry?"
Senator Clapp replied that the au

been questioned. After members of
the committee had insisted on the In
formation Mr, Hearst responded that
propriate $3,000,000 to run over ten
years, the several states to appropriate

London, Dec. 17. An obstacle was
encountered early today by the pleni
potertlaries of the Balkan allies and
of the Ottoman empire who are gath
ered here with, the object of bringing
about peace. " .
The absence of Greece s signature
to the armistice protocol - was the
cause of the hitch lnithe proceedings
and the delegates found it necessary
to adjourn without effecting any real
business. They do not meet again
until late On Thursday afternoon and
in the meantime will communicate
with their home governments.
It is understood that the powers of
the Turkish plenipotentiaries do not
authorize- them to recognize the Hel
lenic delegates unless Greece signs the
armistice. Therefore they were ob
liged to refer the matter to Constan
tinople before proceeding with the
conference. -
The Greek representatives refused
to sign the protocol when Invited to
do so today, pointing out that it
would make no practical difference as

In speaking today 4n the subject of
foreign mediation in 1 Balkan affairs
Syojan Novakovltch, the head of the
Servian delegation, said:
"The choice of the. United States as
mediators would be an excellent one.
The-only fears In" connection are
from the scene'nnd Its lack of knowl
edge of the different complex prob
lems agitating the Balkan peoples
might hamper Its action, while an
European country would find Itself in
readier condition, having for years
followed tho aspirations of the differ-.
ent races constituting the Balkan
family."
M. Novakovltch, taking everything
into consldc atlon, thinks the best
man now in Europe to carry out the
work of mediation successfully would
be Premier Poincare of France, who
has paid so much disinterested atten
tlon to the Balkan conflagration.
The government is asking for an In
junction to prevent the defendants
from further combining and conspir
ing to restrain trade. . .

Brings, charged with the murder of
Baxter Shelton In Madison county sev
eral months ago, who is to be tried
at this term of Superior court. With
reference to some matters now pend
ing in congress Mr. Gudger gave out
the following statement yesterday;
"The third session of the 62nd con
gress met under auspicious circum
stances. The majority side feels elat
ed over the immense vote given the
democratic party at the last election
as expressive of the confidence fell
In the policies of that party. With
such a great victory it would not be
unreasonable to expect some imma
ture legislation; but It will be to the
contrary. The expressed , determina
tion appears to be to proceed cautious
ly after careful deliberation. ;
"The 63rd eongress will investigate,
deliberate nd act. Truth and jus
tice can be obtained after careful In
vestigation; with deliberation right
eous conclusions can be reached. Then
with all the facts and after mature de
liberation, justice demands legislative
action.
"The immigration bill will be passed
this week, having been ordered to be
considered by a test vote In the house,
the majority for that Important legis
lation being four to one.
"The appropriation bills are well on
their way. The public building com
mittee will report that bill by January
15. As a member of this committee I
have been able to take care of North
Carolina satisfactorily. Waynesville
gets $65,000 for a postofflce building,
which is more than has ever been al
lowed for an office of its- receipts.
"The patronage question is giving
congressmen much concern. Appllca
tlon for postofflce appointments are
coming In in great numbers, but It is
impossible to obtain any Information
as to when or how they will be
made. ,
What view Mr. Wilson will take
in regard to Judge Taft's Bweiping
order In reference to these cases we
have been unable to ascertain, and In
my judgment we will not know until
sometime after March.
"President Wilson will be forced to
give his undivided attention to the
formation of his cabinet and getting
the various departments in Washing
ton in good running order, so that we
can see great delay which cannot wel
he avoided. Ouh friends, aspirants
for office, will find ample time to file
their claims, as no action will be tak

will be given a fair hearing before
any decision is reached.
"The ways and means committee
will begin hearings on tariff schedules
In January In order to report the bill

session convenes. The consensus of
opinion is that the tariff law will be

Washington, Dec. 17. The attrac
tion of money from small ' banks
throughout the country to New York
city when the money market shows a .
high rate for loana, was taken up to
day by the house money trust Inves
tigating committee. J. B. Nivens, an -accountant
for the committee, pre
sented a mass of statistics showing
the amount of money held for coun
try banks by 32 New York city banks
and trust companies and the amount
of money loaned on stock market se
curities In New York fir these coun
try correspondents. ,
Mr. Nivens figures showed 191,010
accounts for country banks in the New
York institutions. He explained that
because the banks would not furnish
to him the names of their country cor
respondents some of the accounts
might be duplicated In cases where
country banks maintained accounts
with more than one New York bank.
In the 32 banks, Mr. Nlven said, on
November 1, country banks had on
deposit $483,000,000 and in addition
had loaned on New York stock ex- .
change securities $240,480,000.
At that time, he said, the money
market was high. On July 1, with
money easy, he said the country
banks had only $141,028,0.00 out in
stock exchange loans, ,
