The debute on the second reading of the compulsory bill a-ebau in the house or commons vuuy. . .Kichln Qf Carohng David Ion was generally expressed that the!clark; e(Jltor of the Southern Textile vote in favor of the bill on the second , rending would be evert greater than that on the first. It Is believed that a small number of the radical party will follow ,tho leadership of Sir John Simon in resisting the passage of the bill to the end. Some members have already been requested to resign by their constituent Czernowitz Is ';lll In the possession of the Austrians and is filled with wounded. But the Russians ap pnrcntly are directing their main at tack against Sadagora. . In the Balkans reports persist that the Germans are concentrating at Monastir preparatory to an attack on Salonlkl, but the Interest in the Mace donlan cumpaign has become secon dary to the operations of the Aus trians in Montenegro. A determined attack is being made on Mount Lov ccn, ft Montenegrin stronghold over looking Cattaro bay by t n. "-gTh of the Austrian fortress at Cattaro and Austrian warships lying In the Adri atic. The formidable Austrian forces Invading Montenegro extend over a wide front, from the River Tara In the west to the Ipek district in the east. It can not be disguised that the Invasion Is causing great uneasiness among the entente powers and es pecially Ituly, which sees In Its suc cess an end to taly's dream of domi nating the Albanian littoral of the Adriatic. The Italian newspapers in expreusing the opinion that an Aus- trlan success against MonieneKru i would give the Invader an Incalculable i colitlcnl. maritime, commercial and strategic advantage, admit the fear that Italy's Intervention In the Balkan campaign has come too late. Tho Russians' offensive against the Teutonln Gollcla and Volyhynla has come almost to a standstill. The Russians there are consolidating the portions they won and are meeting with little resistance from their an tagonists. After the Germans had taken about seven hundred yards of French trenches In Champagne in an offen sive launched with large numbers of men with the Intention of obtaining Important results, the French troops, according to Paris, stopped the attack short and In vicious counter-attacks re-occupied successively nearly all the .terrain lost. In addition, on the heights of the Meuse. a heavy French bombardment did great damage , to German trenches. The Montenegrins are valiantly fighting everywhere Inside their king dom against the Austrians. While admitting the occupation by the In vaders of a position near Berane, the Montenegrins assert that near Lep enac In the north, and Ipek In the south, Austrians attacks were re pulsed the Austrian fortress at Cat taro Is still bombarding the Monte negrin base at Lovcen, near the Ad riatic. The, situation In Mesopotamia, where the Turks and British are en gaged along the Ttgrle river. Is still not clear owing to the divergent re ports of Constantinople and London. While the British say that the Turk around Kut El Amara are In retreat, a Turkish communication declares that It Is the British who are falling back and that a force of 10,000 Brit ish left In Kut EI Amara is surrounded. Along the Auatro-Itallan front the usual bombaromenis are in prosr. A wuadron of French jM"P" - usual bombardments are In progress. I dropped bombs on Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.

HEADS DELEGATION ' OF SOUTHERN MEN Declares People of South Are Just as Humane as Any Member of the House Labor Committee. . Washington. Jan. 11. Child labor In nnuthem cotton mills was defend ed before the house labor commlrtee by a delegation from the south head ed by Former Governor . W.. w. Hevlew 0f Charlotte, was also In the Keview or cnanoue, was . " The committee had before' It for consideration the Keating-Owen olll which would prevent the Interstate shipment of goods manufactured with the aid of child labor. Mr. Kitchin attacked the bill from an economic standpoint, declaring that It was both unconstitutional and un wise, "We of the south," said Mr, Kltch iii, "oppose this- measure because we believe that our people who have '.o work should be permitted to do so. "We have many people of this claiS and the mills afford them a good op portunlty to earn a good living. "I think it cruel to drive a IB-year old boy out of the mills If he has any one to support. The conditions In the mills Is Improving constantly. The people In North and South Carolina and other parts of the south are lust ns humane as any member of this committee. . They are. making rapid progress to better conditions fn the mills. Lyt thuin do it." Mr. Keating asked Mr. Kitchin if he did not think the poor could be aided by other means, such as a mothers' pensions which are In opera tion in some of the northern states. "Our state Is unable to take care of Its poor," replied Mr. Kitchin. Such conditions are not confined to the soulh either, I believe. "I recall reading a dispatch sent out from Boston on January 1, 1915 to the effect that an Investigation of conditions showed there were 125 peo ple In the city gleaning food from garbage piles. If Boston cannot sup n'n " v"i '" y" "i"- iith to do It? Nobody eats garbage Gazette-News Bureau The Rlggs Building Washington, Jan. 11. 8. F. Patterson, head of Roanoke Rapids Cotton nrUs, and one of the best known cottofr manufacturers of the .south, threw a bomb into the camp of thoi.e advocating the passage of the Keating child labor bill yester day, when he told the committee members that he was authorized by the Bouthern Cotton Manufacturers' association to invite the entire mem bership of the labor committee, In cluding Mr. Keating himself, to visit each and every mill in the south at the expense of the cotton mill peo ple. Mr. Patterson made this statement towards the end of his testimony be fore the labor committee during which time many of the members asked very pointed and at times personal questions as to the working of child ren in the cotton mills or tne soutn. "J now Invite each and every mem ber of this committee to visit the cot ton mills of North Carolina as the suest of the Southern Cotton Manu facturers' association," said Mr. Pat terson. "We will put a special car at your disposal The trip will not cost any one of you, nor, the government, a alncle penny. In fact. I urge you to make thle trip. Bo many false statements have been made about the cotton mill people that I and all tit er cotton manufacturers, would be delighted to have the committee see for Itself that the conditions In the cotton mills are as good as anywhere else in the United States." He said the committee could select the mills they desired to Inspect, that their arrival would be kept a secret so that no preparation could be maue for the visit. If the committee makes the trip. It Is probable that they will first go to Roanoke Rapids, thence 10 nana rann. Ralelrh. Durham. Greensboro. - - - - oeetonla and ntn South Caroline. . Questions asked Mr, Patterson as to the length of time It would tske the committee to make thle Investiga tion und how many mills the wouia have to visit, leads one to believe that the committee Is almost certain to make the trip.

RECOMMENDS LAWS IN REGARD TO USURY Other Suggestions to Prevent Bank Failures, Include Pro , hibiting Loans to Officials and Directors. Washington, Jan. 11. "Develop ment and growth never paralleled In the financial history of any country" is the way John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency describes ln hls annual rep0rt to congress, the operation of the national banks under his charge during the period irom October 1914 to November 1915, thej first year unde'r the federal reserve system. The report has just been pre sented to congress. Mr. Williams gives a comparative statement of the condition of the na tional banks to back up his state ment. He shows that net resource of the banks increased in the year $1. 743,878,648, that deposits increased $2, 081, 530, 164 and that loans and dis counts increased $917,450,502. Avail able cash Increased in the same pe 8fi! nnn.ono and on November 10, 1915, the reporting national banks had excess reserves of i.uuu,uv. Tables show the comparative condi tion of banks In 1895 and m .September 1895 there were i,tu re porting banks with net deposits of $1,989,300,000 and! loans and dis-emirrta-of $3,059,408,,402 while In No vember 1915, there were 7,617 report ing banks with net deposits or , 070,471,447, loans and discounts of $7,233,928,973. "Tho reserves held by the national banks November 10, 115." says the report, "exceeded by $587,000,000 the greatest reserves ever held at any time prior to the passage of the fed eral reserve act. Loans and discounts amounted to more" than the total loans and discounts of all banks. In cluding national, state, savings and private banks and loan and truHt compnles as late as the year 1902." . Mr. Williams says that the "bank ing 'power" of the United States the capital surplus?1 circulation deposits, etc. of all reporting banks, nation al and otherwise with an estimate of the figures for non-reporting banks, imnnnted In June 1915. to $25,397,- mnnnn on Increase in a year of about $1,067,100,000. Savings bank .lpnnnlts increased by $176,256 during the year ending last June with total! deposits of $4,997,706,013 an increase! of $61,114,168. The average deposit. however. Increased from 4f4.a xo 1442.83 while the number of banns increased from 2.100 to 2,150. The comptrollers principal recom mendation for legislation Is for an amendment to tho bank law authoriz ing and directing the department of Justice to bring suits against usurers upon information furnished either by the comptroller or through other sources. To Prevent Bank i-miur-. Other recommendations given un der a heading "To Prevent Bank Failures" propose: To prohibit offi cers from borrowing from their own banks; to prevent loans to directors except with the approval of the board; to require officers and em nlnves to slve surety bonds; to limit direct and indirect loans to one Indi vidual, firm or corporation; to pre vent or limit overdrafts; to require certificates of deposit to be signed by two directors; to prevent erasures on the books of a bank; to limit In terest paid on deposits, to authorize the establishment of branches In the United States; to permit branches in Alaska and Insular possessions; to au thorize minimum Interest charges which ordinarily might be usurious on small loans and to authorise the comptroller to bring proceedings against directors for losses sustained by a bank through violation of the hank act. The report renews the comptroller's recommendations of last year for oth er legislation, Including the giving of authority to the comptroller to re move directors guilty of persistent violations of the bank set Fight Agnlnst Vsnry. Mr. Williams shows there were 14 failures during the 1$ months ended October $1. In the last SO years, he says, there were 208 fnlluree attribu- tablo to criminal acts while Injudicious or careless banking was responsible for il$l others. The comptroller devotes much space to nresentlns his side of his fight with national banks to prevent the chant ing of usurious Interest rates. He gives tables of loans by banks In dlf- rrent sections to back uo his charge and says that complaints have come or this Braotlcr particularly nirecieo against small banks In the south and southwest, west and northwest Mr. Williams i.'ys that usury un checked means "depopulation, hope lessness, tlirtftlcwneea and resulting lose of producing capacity." Widow and Three Negroes Charged With Death of Providence Doctor. , Providence, R. I., Jan. 11. Before visiting the scene of the murder of Dr. C. Franklin Mohr, the Jury select ed to hear the evidence at the trial of his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Mohr and two negroes charged with re" sponsibility for the crime, went to the court house to listen to a brief pre liminary statement by the prosecu tion. The complete opening statements by the state and defense were resedv ed until the Jury had returned from the scene of the crime. Dr. Mohr was murdered August 31, last while motoring from Providence to Newport In company with his sec retary, Miss Emily Burger, and the state alleges that Mrs. Mohr hired three negroes to commit the crime. One of the negroes has since pleaded guilty to manslaughter and is expect ed to be a state witness. The men indicted for murder and Mrs. Mohr as accessory before the fact are being tried Jointly. POLICE SEARCHING FOR PAUL K0EN1G Warrant Issued for Alleged Plotter in Connection With Case of F. Scheindl. New York, Jan. 11. Police today are searching for Paul Koenig, the so-called chief of the Hamburg- American line's secret servcle, who is at liberty on $50,000 ball on a fed eral indictment charging him with conspiring to blow up the Welland caaal. A. warrant Jpr his arrest was issued yesteraay uy a, magisiruie charging him with exerting a cor ruptlng influence in Frederick Scheindl, formerly a clerk in the Na tlonal City bank, who is alleged to have delivered certain letters and telegrams to Koenig. Scheindl was arrested some time ago but was re leased on ball. . The new charge against Koenig is a misdemeanor, the maximum penalty of whldh o fthrce years in the pent tentlary. The federal grand Jury is continu !ng its Investigation Into the alleged aliens plot. It Is said that only the l edge of the conspiracy has as yet been touched by the federal authorities. Other indictments may be returned against persons whose names have not yet been made public. L Restricting Interest Because of Clayton Aot Against Inter locking Directorates. New York, Jan. 11. The roplgna. tlons of many prominent bankers from directorates of leading banks all over the country Is expected at the annual banker elections which are belnir held today. The charges are mode to an tlclpate the prohibition against Inter locking dire utes contained In the Clayton lav itany Wall street banks are understood to have officers who are directors in other banking Instl tutlons. The Clayton act specifics that no person shall at the same time be a di rector of more than one bank organiz ed for operation under the laws of the United States, either of. which has de posits, capital, surplus and undivided prolits aggregating more than $5,000, 000. In many casos the readjustment made necoiwary will not take place for some months although today's meet ings are the last regular stockholders meetings before the requirements of the law must be met.

Cities' Advantage in Mileage Should Be at Least 20 Percent in Their Favor, SEEKS ADVANTAGES VIRGINIA CITIES ENJOYS Declares Differential of Seven Cents is Insignificant So licitor Norris "Sued"; Makes Statement. (By W, T. Bost). Raleigh, Jan. 11. "Is this a sop to Cerebus?" Governor Craig asked not 'very pleasing like" when protesting against the recent increase of freight rates in the southeastern territory, an increase of which he learned too late to make the fight for the state. The governor worked upon hla statement before leaving yesterday for Asheville. Without directing at tention of the people to the two utter ances of the corporation commission upon the subject, his quotation from the interview of Chairman Travis In Washington would indicate that the governor thinks more seriously of the situation than the commission now does. Likewise it looked more alarm ing as a prospect than as a retrospect. This differential of seven cents to 'a limited territory which includes Atlanta,' is insignificant," Governor Craig says. He shows what an enor mous advantage the cities of North Carolina have In mileage, an advan tago' which Governor Craig thinks should be at least 20 per cent In North Carolina's favor. He contends ' that North Carolina should have the south ern geographical advantage as Vir ginia does in the north. Quoting from,. Chairman Travis In Washington that this proposed ad vance would be substantial and un reasonable and put "North Carolina at an unjust disadvantage in competi tion in said territory," Governor Craig declares that this is not an over statement of the case. He wishes Vir ginia well but does not desire her to profit over "North Carolina by an ar bitrary and unjust agreement" He seeks the same advantages of geo graphy for his state as Virginia en- Joys. Jiulgo Connor s First Court. Judge George W. Connor began yesterday his first court in Wake county and he will remain hereabouts a good portion of the first six months. Wake and Franklin constitute a dis trict and Judge Connor will be able to spend a few weeks among the mul titude of courts at his home In Wil son. In this district he will be almost constantly busy, however. Wake alone having about fifteen terms of court annually. Judgo Connor charged the Jury briefly and among his recommenda tions to tho grand jurors told them that If there Is anything wrong about the conduct of the public officers and they hear about It Is their duty to In vestigate. Whether the judge had heard anything about the Norrlj- llolding controversy involving nearly all the county officers is not known, Soicltor Norris declares that he has not at any time suggested that any thing criminal may be attributed to the course of these officers. IXxplcased with Norris. Many friends of those officers who have felt the smart of the Norris crit icism were displeased when they learned that Solicitor Norris had headed off any litigant who might sue him for alleged non-performance of dutv in fallinir to inuect the clerk s office at every term of criminal curt.jl"K absence, and. Incidentally told When Auditor Holding was mak ing his reply before the county com missioners last week, he charged S3 .llcltor Norris with extravagance In claiming his dollar from the orphan's fees while the county and the clerk sometimes were forced to be satisfied with 1 1 cents. The solicitor looks over the records In these orphans' estates under the county guardianship and Is entitled to hla dollar. "I am not charg ing that he Isn't entitled to this," Mr. Holding said, "but I am making '.he point that In criticising the county officials for extravagance he Isn't Ret ting a good example by taking from the orphans fund every cent allowed by law. Of course he Is within his; rights, but there are hundreds of these casesL And Solicitor Norris has failed to Inspect the clerk's office as required by law. For every failure he Is liable for a penalty of $500 If sued.

Indications Are That But One More Exchange Between Berlin and Washington Will Be Necessary, PHRASE": CHIEFLY '',t,-yTING SETTLEMENT Believed Some Form of Disa vowal Has Been Found Which Will Prove Satis factory to Both Sides. Washington, Jon. ll.'-Count voi. Bernstorff, the German ambassador and Secretary Lansing had another conference yesterday on the Lusitania negotiations which both agreed should be described as confidential. Count von Bernstorff expected to confer with Secretary Lansing again this week and after that not again on this subject. This fact is taken by those who are conversant with the status of the case to mean that Germany and the Unit ed States have approached the point where only one more exchange be tween Washington and Berlin is nec essary before the long controversy is brought to an end. . American officials describe the situ ation as very hopeful and reflect the view that a satisfactory settlement is in sight which will include the pay' ment of indemnity for the 115 Ameri can lives lost and some expression of regret or disavowal which will be mutually satisfactory to Germany and the United States. The president, Secretary Lansing and Count von Bernstorff are practi cally the only officials in the secret of the negotiations, but it is known that the principal points which are delaying the final settlement are mat ters of phraseology. Germany has been contending that the best disa vowal was offered the United States In her orders to submarine command ers not to repeat such incidents and that she could not disavow the in cldent, although regretting the loss of so many American lives. The United States has been con tending that f disavowal should be expressed In some way. It Is believed that a form of expression has been found satisfactory to both sides. RULES COMMITTEE Gazette-News Bureau, The Riggs Eui:Jing. Washington, Jan. 11 Another large committee assign ment is to go to North Carolina Feb ruary 1. At that time Congressman Edwin W. Pou. of the fourth district will become the head of the house rules committee, one of the biggest and most Important committees of the house. The present chairman, Robert Hen ry, of Texas, notified Mr, Pou that h will leavo Wnnhington the first of nex: month for Texas where he will con duct his senatorial campaign. He asked Mr. Pou to act as chairman dur hiin he did not expect to return. Should Mr. HMiry be elected to tho senate Mr. Pou will cortainly be made permanent chairman of the rules com mltteo to succeed fcim. Anyhow, Pou will be chairman lor the balanoe of this session and will havo charge of the Important legislative matters which must come before him before a rule can beobtained for debate on the floor. One of these matters which Mr. Pou will have a great deal to say about will be the resolution providing for nation-wide prohibition. Hefore this resolution can come to a vote during ! the present session it will be necegsury for the rules committee to grsnt a special rule to got the measure before the house. While Congressman Pou voted against the measure last year, and may do so again this time, it Is not , tne nouse lor a voie, From an authoritative source. It was learned today that former Sena tor Joseph Weldon llullcy, of Texas, is seriously considering the question 'of entering the senatorial tight In his 1 state thle fall. Friends of the former , senator say .he wouia nave a gooa chance to win should be enter tne race. Bailey refused to enter the senato rial race four years ago. At that time he was under flte as a reactionary. The sentiment, however, about prog ressive and reactionary demooruta has undergone a change. Today the prog. receives In the United States senate have a very little part In national leg Islstlon nnr doee he have much to say at the White House. PUU W LL Contrary to Custom American Business Shows No Sign of Slowing Up Since the Christmas Rush. RETAILERS HURRYING TO BOOK THEIR ORDERS Public Generally Paying Little Heed to What Termination of Hostilities in Europe May Bring. Gazette-News Bureau. The Rlggs Building, Washington, Jan, 11'. Contrary to usual custom, American business is speeding on in the wake of the holidays with no appreciable slowing up. Confronted with a daily Increasing! disposition on the part of the public to purcnase, and realizing the difficulty experienced .in obtaining winter orders placed late, retailers are hurrying into the large markets to book their serine requirements. While "big business" Is disposed to harp to a degree on future possibilities , the public generally finding that there Is no apparent slackening in the pros perous condition of the country and that more money is coming Into gen eral circulation through wage in creases, is paying little heed to what a termination of hostilities in Europe may bring. In the estimation of financial in terests the United States corporation's December statement of unfilled ton nage, to be announced tomorrow, will show an Increase of about 600.00U tons. When the fact is recalled that the corporation already has vast or ders on its books and has been com pelled In, many instances, because of. the congestion at its mills, to turn away orders, this outlook Is exception ally satisfactory. Manufacturers of cotton fabrics start the year under better auspices than they have for a decade. More ppindles are In operation, and It has been found advisable to increase the wages of the workers, because there is no superfluity of operatives to be had and the owners of mills are anx ious to keep those they have. Workers in such mills would have little diffi culty in getting other kinds of employ ment Just now If they wished, and It Is the experience of mill men that good workmen, if they once leave for other occupations, rarely, if ever, come back. The output of the mill is sold, as a rule, quite far ahead: ', . . A further evidence of more general prosperity is found In the activity of the stock markets. Odd lot houses trading on the New Vork stock er- change estimate that the first week of the New Year new purchases of stock under 100 shares exceeded sales by upward of 20 per cent. This means that buyers with small capital are investing. For several months the railroads of the country have been making won derful strides. The Increase In earning has not been confined to any particu lar section, but has been general in north, east, south and west. As an example of this improvement the case of the Northern Pacific rail way may be cited. If that company should make no further gains in earn. tngs during the remainder of the fiscal year, it would show on June 80 an In crease of about $10,000,000 over the preceding fiscal year, while If only one-half of the increase reported In December is averaged in the second half of the fiscal year, the Increase for the entire period would be approx imately $16,000,000. On this basis there would be a balance for divi dends after the addition of other esti mated income and estimated deduc tions equal to more than IS per cent on the stuck, apalnst 7.59 per cent for the fiscal year, 1914-15. In December the company showed an Increase In gross operating revenues of $1,864,000, BRITT HAS BILL FOR CHEAPER LETTER RATE - 1 sji Washington, D. C, Jan. 11.
