Tinkh.im Resolution Rejected by Re publicans. Rising to a question of the highest constitutional privilege, Representa tive Tinkham, Republican, Massachu- setts, threw the House of Congress into an uproar Friday, states a Wash ington dispatch, over a demand for immediate consideration of a resolu tion affecting the rights of negro voters in the South. The battle, mainly along parlia mentary lines, raged for two hours, but in the end, the proposal was re jected on a point of order by Repre sentative Mondell, the Republican leader. Still determined to press the fight, Mr. Tinkham, appealed from Speaker Gillett's decision sustaining the point of order, but the House stood by its Speaker, 285 to 46. The Tinkham resolution substan tially the same as that presented - during consideration of the re-appor- tionment bill at the last session, had been expected and Democrats were ready to jump into the fray. The Republican leader went to the front, however, and won the day alone. After chasinsr F. W. Sherin, his I employer, out of the Pomona freight yard office at Greensboro and kicking over a stove which started a fire that destroyed the small building, Ralph Bledsoe, about 18 years old, a South ern railway file clerk, early Friday went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. H-. S. Edwards and after running the couple from the house, committed suicide by sending a bullet through his heart. Bledsoe is believed to have been temporarily insane. Gen. Julian S. Carr of Durham has announced that he is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Con-gressman.at-large for North Carolina in case the present Congress in' its allotment of representation gives to this State the additional member to which it is entitled by its growth in population since the 1910 census.
