Hnlcifih, Sept. 25. On the floor of
the general assembly will be waited
the fight for the acceptance of the
proposition to settle the freight rate
controversy. This Is certain since the
Just Freight Rate association Went on
record twice as opposing compromise.
Governor Craig today transmitted a
: peciul message to the general assem
l.ly urging the acceptance of the rail
roads' proposition as the -beginning of
a settlement of the freight rate con
troversy. Five hundred copies were
ordered printed, also live hundred of
the report of the special legislative
commission. -
Clark of Pitt Introduced a resolution
requesting the corporation commission
t furnish the names of legislators
mrrying passes or "otherwise In the
employ of railroads" and it passed SI
to 20. Twenty local bills were Intro
duced, but none of general Interest ex
cept two resolutions to amend the con
stitution to nake jurisdiction of jus
tices of the peace the same and an
other making: bills void If not intro
duced ten days before adjournment.
This last was by Stewart of Mecklen
burg. , . ' -. - I
The senate devoted much time to a
discussion of the proper time for con
i -deration nf the constitutional amend
ments, but left the matter open.
Despite the pocHion of ' Governor
Orals in favor of accepting the offer
nt the curriers as a beginning In the
Hunt for equitable freight rates the
.lust Freight Rate association unani
mously adopted a resolution rejecting
the proposition and going on record
for a commission separate from the
corporation commission to handcl
freight rates.. President Fred N. Tate
brought up the resolution which had
been adopted earlier In the day by
ifveral counties and about 100 mem
bers stood up, the others not voting.
Former Speaker W. C. Dowd, second
ed the resolution and spoke In favor of
a separate railroad commission.
Representative Gallatin Roberts of
I'uncumbe declared that a score, of
legislators old him they were disgust
ed with the proceedings yesterday of
tcrnoon and that they would stand by
i he governor In his fight. The fact
that persons were Invited to address
the meeting who know nothing about
nuts aided the members in their de
cision, he said.
Another session of the association
was held in the hall of the house of
representatives last night, with Came
ron Morrison of Charlotte as the prln
clpnl speaker. Mr. Morr'son had his
voice with him and thundered against
accepting the compromise. He de
clared that this Imperial common
. wealth could get at the railroads legl-1
timutely. and he wanted it to do It. !
The hall was crowded with mem
bers of the association and legislators.
"Will Hear From the IVoiMe."
The water points launched a spirited
attack on -the proposition, Gilchrist
McCormlck, of Wilmington, and W. l,
Mclver, f New Bern, being the prln
clpnl speakers from tide water. J. J.
I-aughllnghouse, of Pitt county, was In
for abolishing .the .corporation com
mission entirely.
('resident Tate smilingly Informed
the members of the' leglslaturethat
the association had made a canvass
and that those legislators who went
against the wishes of the association
would hear from the people.
Frank Uough of Lumberton, threat
ened Robeson county's representatives
with retirement if they stood for the
compromise and T. U Kirkpatrlck, of
Charlotte, mopped up with everything
In sight.
John C Forater of Greensboro de
els red that ho knew he was saying the
unpopular thing but Insisted that the
anmciallon was allowing Its resent

would take two years to get Its facts

Queenktown, Ireland, Sept. 25
-The I
ered Joseph Schlunsky, -a merchant,
a. room at a hotel here last Mon
day, for the postoftlce robbery, re-
olved itself Into the questions:
Who is Ellis? Has he a double? Is
he impersonating another man? Why
the resemblance between his de
scription and that of Fred Brokaw,
ias Broley, wanted in Pittsburgh,
and under arrest in San Francisco, so
mllar, and are the- two twins?"
The police have received no woru
from the circulars containing the de
scription of Ellis, which they sent all
over the country, and continued their
search for the fugitive here following
the tip" of a rooming housekeeper
that a man, who she said answered
the printed description of Ellis, had
applied to her for lodging yesterday.
The police said today that they had
completely abandoned the idea that
Ellis and Brokaw are the same, but
are two men who had adopted the
same method of robbing their victims,
whether by intent or accident, they
did not know.
That Ellis and Brokaw might be
twins was advanced but the police put
little faith in the theory. Brokaw had
admitted his identity and gave bis
home -as Tacoma, Wash., according to
word from San Francisco, while Kills
parents live In Richmond, Va.; and
since the police say they are positive
that the Schlunsky murderer was com
mitted by Ellis, the man wanted here
and the Pittsburgh fugitive cannot be
brothers. r

White Star Lined Olympic today fol
lowed the example of the big Cunard
steamships and shunned Queenstown
harbor, where she had been heretofore
accustomed to anchor. It is therefore
assured that the White Star company
has concurred in the Cunard lines'
boycott of the port. Two hundred
passengers andH)0 Backs of mail were
sent on tenders to the Olympic.
The attempt of the Olympic to avoid
the local harbor resulted In a commo
tion that stirred the whole city. The
tenders provided for the passengers
and mail were antiquated boats. They
pitched and tossed In the heavy swell
which was running, causing much dis
comfort to the passengers. By the
time they got outside the harbor the
skippers of the tenders were thorough
ly alarmed. They declared that the
sea was too dangerous for a transfer.
After n brief stay in the vicinity of 1
the liner the old vessels then made
for smoother water inside of Roches
point. The captain of the Olympic de
clined to follow them there. After
waiting two hours the tenders return
ed to Queenstown and disembarked

gers, who were In a condition of the
greatest vexation.

Albany, N. Y., Sept. 25. The court
of Impeachment for the trial of Gov
ernor Sulzer today unanimously Voted
in favor of admitting all testimony In
reference to alleged campaign contri
butions received by the governor,
whether specified In the articles of im
peachment or not.i: ' . :
The point arose on the testimony
of Morris Tckulsky, a New York liquor
dealer, and former president of the
Nw York City Liquor B'ealers' asso
ciation. He had known William Sul
zer for 2:i years, he said, and consid-
red himself an Intimate acquaintance.
When. he started to tell about the or
ganization's contributions to Sulzef,
Attorney aMrshall objected, support
ing his objection by a lengthy argu
ment. He maintained that there was
nothing in the articles of Impeach
ment regarding this witness. The pur
pose of the articles of Impeachment,
he contended, was to give notice to a
respondent of the nature of the accu
sations against him and to afford him
ime to prepare to answer.
Mr. Stanchfield in reply declared
hat the managers "have secured and
are prepared to prove that Sulzer re
ceived large number of contributions,
weekly in excess of those which ap
pear on the face of the charges. There
is no question as a matter or law dui
that this evidence Is admissible.
Presiding Judge Cullen then ren
dered a long opinion on the question,
at the conclusion of which he an-
nounced he would overrule the motion
nnd submit it to a' vote of the court.
The presiding Judge said that if the
present case were a criminal trial he
would be disposed to excludejevldence
on charges not specified In the Indictment.
"This case, however," he said,
should be construed , with greater
latitude."
Ho added that article six of the Im
peachment had mentioned the receipt
of $30,000 by the governor without
naming the donors and that counsel for
the respondent had ample opportunity
to ask for a bill of particulars.
"This,", said Judge Cullen, "they did
not do."
Court adjourned for the noon recess
