Those who have been dischai-ged who 'were trying to force the Pres ident to call an extraordinary ses sion, gave up. The opposition col lapsed, and the measure went through without a roll call. President Wilson will sign the bill tomorrow. He was told Thursday, when he visited the capitol, that the Republican members of the finance committee had demanded hearings, and adopted other tactics to defeat the bill to force an extra session.

The state of Kentucky is seeking to recover from the University of North Carolina something like $219,350 as an in heritance tax assessment against that portion of the Flagler estate that went to the University through the will of the late Mrs. Henry M. Flagler, who was Miss Lily Kenan, of Wilmington, and this action is notwithstanding the fact that a Ken tucky statute exempts educational, charitable, and elementary institu- ! tions from liability for inheritance taxes.

George Washington at 12.05 o'clock this morning with Mrs. Wilson and other members of his party. The steamship is scheduled to sail for France at 8.15 A. M. to-day. A company of marines stood guard at the army pier where the George Washington is docked and their bugler sounded attention as the automobile carrying the Presi dent and Mrs. Wilson drove up. Only secret service men and detec tives were allowed on the pier. Raleigh, March 3. Governor Bickett went before a joint session of the senate and house this after noon to plead for the enactment of the Mull-McCoin state highway bill in preference to any other road measure pending. He declared against any road bond issue by the state at this time, insisting that tne people should be heard before such a step is taken. He said this legislature has pro ceeded along conservative lines with sanity and safety, and he begged that the record be rounded out with a reasonable road law, suited to the financial condition of the state and guarded from waste and extrava gance and fashioned on the princi ple of the justice and common sense that from him to whom much is given something shall be required. Immediately after the joint ses sion, the house went into committee of the whole on road legislation and the discussion opened under a mo tion by Ray, of Macon, that the committee of the whole adopt the Stacy bill, from the senate, which he said did not exactly suit him, But he believed it the best that can be gotten at this time, after possible amendments. He pronounced the appearance of the governor in the legislature to argue a pending bill an unprecedented breach of consti tutional rights, and said he hoped never to see such a tning again. He argued at length for the Stacy, dr senate bill. The senate passed to-day a com mittee substitute for the Wright res olution, introduced the second day of the session, for an investigation of fire insurance rates in North Car olina. The committee substitute, as passed, provides that a committee of two fjPom the. senate, and. three from the house shall investigate fire insurance rates, especially in com parison with the rates in other states, and ascertain if some rem edy can be afforded by amendment, to the present insurance lawsof the state. Also the committee is direct ed to prepare a bill, embracing any changes in the law needed and re port to the next session of the leg islature without incurring any ex pense to the state in their commit tee investigation. The senate passed the Humphrey Stevens bill to restrict the sale of revolvers, knucks and daggers and the like, by requiring would-pe pur chasers to have a permit from the clerk of the county court. The house cleared many local bills from the calendar and killed bills to abolish April 12 as a legal holiday, and the McNeal bill to li cense grain threshers and require reports. House Adopts Redwine Bill. The house was in committee of the whole this afternoon until 7 o'clock, threshing out the differ ences among members as to the state-wide road legislation pending, the net outcome being that the Tint , . iui tc "cai mice years. 16 tarn uUl UUaclVtJU uxo iui luis nui . -f. mnu t uvsi , ave n er 01 the world, but they der patrol has been maintained ' tt. 0 even observed the tAmp since the original Madero insurrec-!
