TOURNEY Solicitor Had Criticised Co. Officials for Extravagance and Other Conditions " 'in Their Offices. . RECORDS DEFENDED BEFORE COMMISSIONERS Norris Had Warned That the "Evils" Must Be Corrected by Democrats or Another Party Will Do So.' (By W. T. Bost).: 1 Raleigh, Jan. 6. One after another county officers stood ud before the commissioners of Wake yesterday andfef commissioners of wake yesterday ami)" record against Solicitor ' nummaries. A defended his record against Solicitor H. E. Norris who warned the county t servants that if such evils as he has discovered are not corrected tay the democrats another party will do so. Old time Wake county politics may be expected for 1916, the regular year! and the biennial period for "turning em out." In this year Solicitor Norris Js expected to make that long promis ed race against Congressman E. W. Pou and men who think they observe wisely and see far believe that ' Mr. Norris haB fired his first big gun. They recognize him as a powerful politician, as well as a tremendous prosecutor and without undertaking to calculate the advantage of such a fight In Wake, they nevertheless expect the shrewd solicitor to get that prestige if It hapr pens to be floating about. ' The trouble began Tuesday evening late with Mr. Morris making broad criticism of the county government. He thought it extravagant in places and trending toward slnecurlsm. . He found too many deputies in tho sher iff's office and too much money spent tw the board of education. He thought help given him and frankly did, not think the auditor was doing his duty. He declared that the county's bonded indebtedness is now $500,000 and more and that the extravagant method of running the county would result In mere bond Issues, something that xould no longer be defended. " Several of the officers were present when the solicitor began his statement to the board and asked to be heard In their own defense. The commission ers' room was filled when Auditor Holding took the statement of Mr. Norris and replied with occasional as perity to It Mr. Holding took ' the role as defense for the commissioners. It caused ay smile then as it did later when Solicitor Norris Jogged the mem ory of the five county servants with the disputes in which they and Mr. Holding had figured. , The auditor declared that the finan cial condition of Wake compares most favorably with that of 1910, the grand old days upon which Mr. Norris had dwelt. The auditor had not gone far In his 'own defense and that of the county officers generally before he countered upon the solicitor and sug gested that some accounting In his own office might be illuminating. The auditor replied to the charge of ex travagance by alleging that the largest Increases had been found In the solici tor's office which had shown an In crease from $4,800 to $7,800 in feea He declared that 600 delinquent tax payers had been found in Wake and that In their prosecution Wake had received $3 while Solicitor Norris had gathered $125. He went further In criticism of Mr. Norris and charged him with multiplication of Indict ments, particularly In the case of '.'little Eulus Austin." a defendant against whom three Indictments were brought when theiuditor thought one waa sufficient. The auditor was leav ing the impression .that the several convictions multiplied the fees. He declared that Solicitor Norris was re sponsible to th county for $728 In foeB which had been lout through the so licitor's failure to tax- them.- . .s Mr. Norris Interrupted only st this point to ask the aud(tor.lf he. did. not know that the clerk's duty waa to im pose these' costs. The' defense con tinued. Sheriff Sears spoke for his office and declared that he dM nut havef any more help than Sheriff Page, his pred ecessor, though the office .now los a great deal more work than It did then. He was willing to leave it to Solicitor Norris to say how many deputies should be allowed to work and to try to get along on a minimum Superin tendent Oiles of the county schools came up to rope any accusations of extravagence against the board ox edu cation, whose chairman, L. J. Sears, particularly, had been under fire be cause of the expense account and per diem Involved. ' Told Hint About. It, To Sheriff Bears Mr.l Norris re plied: "Sheriff, I waa your attorney, and told you that if Stell (Bailey's. deputy who ran against Bears) went out In the county and told the people how you loafed In the office and didn't work, It would beat you. You know I told you that" Bheriy Bears retorted that he works and that his deputios do.

Criticised for Attack on Ad-4 ministration Officials in Con nection With Fight for Late Ship Purchase BilL SSIDENT AND BRYAN VINDICATED IN REPORT Report Says Charge Originat ed in Ungenerous Mind Prone to Attribute Bad Mo- fives to Rivals. Washington, Jan. 6. The charge that was circulated during the last session of congress that administra tion officials were acting in the in terests of certain foreign business firms in urging the passage of the ad ministration ship purchase bill, was held to be baseless In the majority and minority committee Just made by the senate committee appointed to in vestigate the charges. J Both reports also found the ship ping interests blameless in the steps they took to oppose the measure. The majority report - denounced Theodore Koosevelt fur his failure to appear before the committee concern ing his published assertion that Pres ident Wilson and Secretary Bryan endeavored in the interest of certain foreign business firms to secure for the United States power to purchase the interned ships of one of the bel ligerents." - The charge, the report said, origin ated In the ungenerous traits of a human mind which makes it prone to attribute unworthy motives to re doubtable rivals, particularly to po litical antagonists. , "The writer," the report adds, "whose eminence is naturally calcu lated ,to give ,hiB utterance - weight, finding himself without a bdais, even of the hear-say character, for his slanderous attack on the highest of ficlal of his nation, simply reBOTted to palpable sophistry to escape the re sponsibility for the assertion he made.

Ireland is excluded from the terms of the measure.

Outside the parliament building great crowds gathered, reflecting the deep popular interest, and shouts of welcome greeted the premier as he drove up with his wife and daughters.

Secretary of War Appears Be fore House Military Affairs Committee in Support of Increase in Army. URGED AS DEFINITE U. S. MILITARY POLICY Says Great Opportunity Will Be Lost Unless This Congress Adopts Wise, Sensible Poliey. : Washington, ' Jan. (J. Secretary Garrison laid before the house mili tary affairs committee today his for mal argument in behalf of the ad ministration's army plan which is de signed to give the country a definite military policy. , It proposes the crea tion of a . mobile federal force of more than a' million men in six years, ac cumulation of a huge reserve of am munition and equipment and elabo rate extension of the coast defenses, the whole project involving an in creased expense of $600,000,000 and an annual war department budget thereafter of more than $200,000,000 as compared with an average of $100,- 000,000 for the last few years. The Integrity ot the nation and us very existence," the secretary said, , reading from a lengthy statement ne had prepared, "may depend upon what Is done in this matter at ths time. This great opportunity will he lost unless a wise, sensible and prac tical policy is the result of the con sideration and action of this con gress." Referring to the farspread military responsibilities of the nation, reach ing into the insular possessions, Chi na, Alaska,, .and IhQ Panama , -caunl zone, Mr. ''Garrison added: sr "We have determined and an nounced that the sovereignty of the . other republics on this hemisphere shall remain lnvlolahle, and nvjbt therefore at all times stand ready 10 make good our position in this con nection." j He then quoted figures to show ihe full strength of the army on June 20 last 105,993 officers and men of tho combatant forces, and their present distribution. To these should be edd ed, he said, 1,183 officers and 17, SIS men of the non-combatant arms of the service, bringing the total num- her of federal troops up to 106,619. He pointed ou that the item of pay alone made up approximately B0 per cent of the total proposed appropria- ' tions. " The United States including Alas ka, said the secretary, is of greater area than the combined total of Aur-tro-Hungary, Belgium, the British Isles, Bulgaria, Denmark, Franoe, German. . Italy, Japan, Portugal, Russia in Europe. Spain and Turkey in Eprope, the total of these areas representing only 97 per cent of that of the United Statea "It will of necessity," he added, "he conceded by anyone who admits that military force is requisite at all that ' our present military force is totallv inadequate to meet our responslbill- : ties. ' 'The chaos which a crisis always produces where preparations In ad vance have not been made, makes It certain that several months of neces- slty would Intervene after the out break of war before any considerable 1 number of volunteers would be ready to take their training, and months of training must then ensue before they ' could be made ready to be sent Into battle," A similar delay would meet the ef fort to assemble arms, equipment and ammunition, Mr. Garrison said, and he insisted that If it accomplished nothing more, the plan now proposed would obviate much ot this loss of time. "There is a disposition upon tho part of some," he continued, "to as sur.ie that we are facing a crista Tlie only way to meet any emergency is by adopting emergency measures. The personnel and material needed fur , military purposes should be Imme diately mobilized. Every nerve should be strained, and every resource drawn upon, and nothing overlooked neces sary to preserve and defend us, re gardless of cost and of other consid erations. "In my view, the occasion calls for the adoption of a wise, sensible, ade quate military policy, on permanent lines and for definite ends. "There Is common . agreement among those who have studied tho ubject Intelligently that w should have a force In the continental Uni ted States of 500,000 men subject t Instant call. "Modern warfare, while It has dem onstrated the increased' use of me chanical Instruments of war, haa al so demonstrated the Increased uso cf numbers. In addition, therefore, t those with the colors subject to In stant call, there should he at all times In the country larga numbers of men available by reason of prev!s ser vice, for military purposes.
