Secretary McAdoo declared that
while the plan, approved by former

upon the present distribution of cus

which might be overcome If its oper

he did not believe "local pride" was a
valid or serious reason for delaying
the reapportionment. He recommend

an annual saving of $500,000.

Trinity Colloge, June 5. Through
the acquisition of an additional mil
lion dollars to its endowment Trinity
college becomes the most heavily en
dowed college or university In the
southern states. Announcement of the
final successful culmination o( the long
campaign, lasting through more than
12 months, for the raising of the $1
000,000, was made by President Wil
liam Preston Few at the annual grad
uating exercises. More than 1200 stu
dents, alumni and friends of Trinity
college shouted and cheered until the
walls of Craven Memorial hall re
sounded and re-echoed the noise of
the triumphant hosts of North Caro
lina Methodism, when the announce
ment waB made. Kvery one present
was swept with enthusiasm, for it is
the greatest asset financially that any
southern college has ever received on
an endowment at one lime. Hon.
James H. Southgate, president of the
board of trustees, was sitting on the
rostrum nlong with the commence
ment orator, the faculty, board of trus
tees and other dignitaries, and, as he
seemingly realized the deep signifi
cance of the moment, arose and car
ried the vust concourse of people to
their feet with him as he motioned
for them nil to rise.
More than a year ago the proposi
tion was made to Trinity college that
the general educational board of New
York would donate 1150,000 and the
Iltikes promised $650,000 if the two
conferences of he Methodist church
In North Carolina would join in and
raise the remninde- of the amount
necessary to complete the million dol
lars. The proposition wns accepted,
and work was begun by the trustees
and friends of the college. The time
for the sum to be raised was Decem
ber 81, 1912, but it was not all pledged
by that time, and the period was ex
tended to June 1, 1913. While the
.oinouncemorit of the most successful
termination of theblg campaign came
as a real surprise to no one who was
aware of the activities that were on
In the Interest of the movement, the
announcement that the money was In
hand created only slightly less enthu
siasm than would perhaps have greet
ed the announcement had It come as
a complete surprise. '
The total gifts In the endowment
have amounted to $1,420,000. Of this
amount $420,000 has been expended
for buildings and grounds. The por
tion of this aggregate which will he
income-producing and constitute an
addition to the permanent endowment
of the college is $1,100,000.
The commencement address was de
livered by United Btate Penator Cum
mins of Iowa. The distinguished
etnteaman spoke without notes all the
way through, and gave an interesting
and Instructive address on the prob
lorn of the proper distribution of the
wealth of the country amdng the
people.

commission adjourned late last night
to hold its third conference at More-

The committee on revenue and tax
ation, through Chairman K. J. Jus
tice, reported that it is the commit
tee's present idea that the constitution
should lie amended so that the taxes
be levied according to the will
of the people, as expressed by statu
tory law which may be from time to
time subject to change to meet the
justice of the situation and tho desire
of tho taxpayers, that the amendment
should be broad enough to allow
segregation in whole or in part, and
that the amendment should be broad
enough for the general assembly to
exercise its discretion as to classifica
tion of property and allow abolition of
fJWUtation, taxes,. ...Also that the com
mittee is considering the (Iiestifn of
whether there should be limitations
on tho general assembly so that ad-
valorum tax rates shall not exceed
2-3 cents on the $100, unless by vote
of tho people, and that the capitation
tax, if one is levied siiall not exceed
$2, and that in the event' of segrega
tion, all revenue derived irom real
estate shall remain in tho, county and
applied to loc al purposes and that nil
property used exclusively for religi
ous purposes no exempted irom iux-
llion.
There was informal discussion by
Representative Williams, Senator
Ward, Representative Justice, Rep

was that tne limiianons as 10 m

lederul court here today that he killed
John J. Reardon, a detective of Pitts

The tragedy occurred during a period
of labor trouble.

ward money offered by the commis
sioners of Jefferson county and an
other suit by Reardon's administrator
to collect $51100 damages from Jeffer
