Not a newsoaner man on watch at the exe cutive offices, knew of Mr. Justice's visit until it came out from a private source.

The state corporation commission came in for severe criticism at the hands of the Interstate commerce commission when John C. Forester, secretary of the Oreensboro chamber of commerce and W. C. Crelghton, of the Charlotte Manufacturers' and Mer chants' association, asked to be henrd in protest against the charge of the Southern railway attorneys that North Carolina shippers and merchants were satisfied with the present freight rate conditions. "I am disgusted at your, corporation commissioners," said Commissioner Clement, "who sat here throughout the hearings two weeks ago and heard the railroad's charge that the present freight rates in southeastern territory were aatsfactory and never raised a voice aguinst the charges. : Now at the last moment you gentlemen come here and ask to. be heard." . ,. North Carolina Not Satisfied. . Mr. Forester explained that he had been in Greensboro less than 60 days and that he believed the state corpora tion commissioners did not understand that the railroads' statement applied to North Carolina. - Mr. Forester told the commission that North Carolina most certainly was not satisfied. He pointed to the conference hold In Ral eigh and to the verbal agreement of President Finley, of the Southern rail way, to regulate- freight rates so that North Carolina would not be discrim inated agnlnst. The hearing, It was claimed, devel oped the fact that the Southern rail way people were not sincere In their agreement, at Raligh to adjust freight rates. It is contended that their rep resentatives took advantage of the ab sence of representatives from North Carolina and openly declared that there wits no dissatisfaction in the state. ' Secretary Forester, however, told the commission that North Caro lina would never be satisfied with the nresent rates. He pointed to th fact that the state is being discriminated 'igalnrt; that President Ftnley , and other high officials of the Southern had promised to adjust freight rates, and that he protested most vigorously against the -railroads' assertion that the shippers were satisfied. , ConunlHsioiiers SiirpriHtHl. Messrs. Forester and Crelghton rep resented the merchants and other shippers - of Greensboro, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham,- Wilson, Fayette vllle. Winston. Klnston, Asheville, High .Point and Rocky Mount. The commissioners expressed surprise that the corporation commission, who were present at the recent hearing, or borne other representative had not protested against the charge of the railroads. They said that each of . the above named towns had been notified that the -hearings would be conducted, but not a town in the state had sent a rep resentative, except the corporation commissioner?, who had not raised a voice against the charge of the rail roads. . . Says Clements Approved Course. Special to The Gazette-News. Raleigh, April 1. That the North Carolina corporation commission and Attorney General Bickett decided to defer pressing suits against the rail roads only after conference with Judge Clements of the Interstate com merce commission was the statement made today by Chairman Travis. The whole North Carolina situation, and especially the negotiations . pending between the special legislative com mittee and the railroads with, a view to settling mattrs out of court, was laid before Judge Clements, who thought It proper to defer the suits, It Is declared here. Chairman Travis said a satisfactory settlement of rates by special com mittee would obviate the necessity for pressing suits before the Interstate commission, but that should results fall to come the corporation commis sion would vigorously press its suits, filed many weeks before the legislative committee got on the job. Judge Clements did not Indicate any disgust to members of the North Caro lina commission becauew they failed to protest, he seeming to agree with them that It was proper to await results.

Crude oil as a fuel for the navy will be available from fields In the United States, par ticularly the California field, for at least a generation yet to come. This la the substance of a letter written to day by Secretary Lane of the Interior department to Secretary Daniels of the navy In response to Inquiries by the latter concerning oil recourcea. . 'Twenty yeara hence," says Secre tary Lane, "the price of fuel oil, which then as now will be produced chiefly in California, will be much higher than at present and the pro duction probably will liive declined seriously. "The failure of the oil supplies of the United States will not take place suddenly. - The decline will be grad ual and will tend constantly to be checked by rising prices. "No relief can be expected In th preaent price of fuel at Atlantic port! for commercial uaea. Relief to th navy from Increasing prices probably can be secured only yb the develop ment of Its own resrevea where it hould be possible to produce olli at approximately the present cost of production fifty cents on Bins iper barrel plua transportation to the point of use."

IN SMALL TOWN OF 5000 "We Are in ' Great Distress, Helpless," Wires Mayor of Miamisburg, 0. By Associated Press. New York, April 1. Estimates of -the fortune left by J. P. Morgan as made In the financial district today, range from $75,000,000 to $300,000, 000, this sum Including his art collec tion. It is understood that the finan cier's will is of. comparatively recent date, hut no intimation has been mude as to when it will be given to the pun-. He. Mr. Morgan's personal counsel declines to discuss the matter. Those who shared Mr. . Morgan's close friendship predict that there will be large charitable and public bequests, although It is conceded that the son, J. P. Morgan, will doubtless receive the bulk of the fortune. - Mr. Morgan's realty holdings were comparatively small and by far the greater part of the estate, It Is under stood, will be found to be made up of . gilt-edged securities. Judging by his former quiet philanthropy, those who speculated today as to possible , be- guests thought that the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Episcopal church' and perhaps Yale and Harvard uni versities would come in for bequests. - Rome, April 1.
