The report made Thurs day was as follows: Acoordiug to th9 evidence be fore us where the defendant charged with the death of the de ceased, D jok Daan, we do not feel that thsre has baen sufficient evi dence to jastify holding the pris oner, and therefore order his re lease.

Under the Amendment Taft and Roosevelt Art Debarred from RuobI g Again Washington, Feb. 1. The Works constitutional amendment ptopos ing a single term of six years for presidents was passed by the senate today by a vote of 47 to 28, just one more vote than the ne- cessary twotniras. seven pro gressiye' senators voted against the measure. Under the terms of the amendment President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt are barred from ever running again. Should the ratification of the amendment by three-fourths of the states be accomplished during President Wilson's ' administration the measure fails to explicitly state his status. All efforts to amendment the Works resolution making Presi dent Wilson status clear was de feated. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska offered an amendment specifying March 3, 1017, as the date when (he amendment would became ef fective thus permitting Taft and Roosevelt to run again. This was defeated 27 to 42. Senator Southerland, of Utah, offered an amendment limiting the right to enter the raoe to the occupant of the white house at the time the amendment is ratifi ed. This was also defeated 29 to 88. The house must pass the amend ment by a two-thirds vote and it must then be ratified by three fourths of the state legislatures before it becomes a law. Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin, introduced a bill to construct a $2,000,000 bridge across the Potomao river in Washington as a joint memorial t) U. S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. The house judioiary committee reported favorably the workmen's compensation bill whioh passed the senate. An important amend ment provides that express com panies as well as railroads shall be liable for injuries to employes and an additional amendment provides that state courts may have jurisdiction in conjunction with federal courts for damages providing the states enact laws in oonformity with the federal work men's compensation law. ' The ways and means committee concluded its tariff hearings, whioh have continued for the past month and the committee will next week begin to frame a tariff bill. It has not been determined whether the house democrats will undertake a schedule by sahedule revision or a blanket revision. T. H. Yanderford i Vice-President. Raleigh, Feb. 1.

The whole question of Federal control of water-power sites, upon which conservation forces have centered much of their fight, during the last few years, is to be brought before the Senate this week, when efforts will be made to pass the first bill establishing the Govern ment'e right to license control and tax a water-power oonstructed in a navigable river. While the bill in question in volves only the rights of a power company at Windsor Mills, Oonn., the controversy over the measure has become so keen that conserv ation forces are lining up behind it and ill endeavor to foroe its passage through the Senate. Pres ident Roosevelt, near end of his term, vetoed two bills which jjid not sontain this recognition of Federal control and the pending measure is the first in which such a provision has been incorporated. Senator Borah and other West ern Senators are preparing bo of fer amendments affeoting entire subject oi Federal supervision over power sites and water-powers. The Western Senators propose to use the Connecticut River bill a meth od of securing desired changes in the conservation laws whioh will permit freer use of Western water power resources. While the bill now before the Senate received the endorsement of the Set ate Committee on Com merce, majority of that commit tee, headed by Senators Bsnkhead and Nelson, have since signed a report protesting against tb.6 prin ciples of giving the Government control over water-powers. Their opposition oenters on the argu ment of States rights and the contention that the Federal Gov ernment has no moral or legal ground to demand compensation in any form. President Taft's Administration and Secretary of War Stimson are behind the idea of Federal oontrol as now embodied in the bill. OverniB to be in Charge. A Washington dispatch of Fri day afternoon says: Senator Overman will take the leading part in arranging the ceremonies for the inauguration of President Wilson at the oapitol. Mr. Over man is ranking member of the senates rules oommittee whioh will have oharge of these ceremo nies. Chairman Crane, it is un derstood, has taken the position that inasmuoh as Mr. Wilson and Senator Overman belong to the same school of politios it is but right that the North Carolina man should take charge of the inaugu ral ceremonies at the nation's oapitol.

Tele grams and letter! from Democrats of Elizabeth City, asking Senators Simmons and Overman to have Frank M Grioe, recently appoint ed postmaster at Elizabeth City by President Taft, bonflrmed, are pouring into Washington. This attempt ' to have an an pointed of the out-going President confirmed is so unusual that the oase is attracting Nation-wide attention. The Republican members of the Senate have' been trying for more than a month to get the Senate to confirm about 1,800 of Mr. Taft's nominees. Democratic leaders have refused to let con firmation be made. One of the most spirited filibusters of years is raging over that very proposi tion. In the midst of this controversy North Carolina oomes forward with a man that leading Demo crats would canflrm. Among those who wired the Senators to act is former Judge George W. Ward. The confirmation of Grice wonld open a flood-gate that uo one oould shut until the North Carolina slate before the Senate is clean. If Grioe is to have a full term as postmaster he will have to get the endorsement of Representative Small and Senator Simmons and the appointment from President Wilson. Mr. Small is not in favor of Grioe, and will reoom- mend another man at the proper time. What The Country Paper Does For Advertisers.

Poatmas ter General Hitohoock's annual report, made publio today, tenta tively suggested reduction of some parsal post rates and increasing the limit of weight beyond eleven pounds ; recommends civil service pensions for postal employes ; sn increase in rates on second class mail, whioh may pave the way for one oent letter postage; the con solidation of the third and fourth classes so books and papers may be forwarded parcel post ; and points out that during his admin istration, expense of operating the postal service has been out down $45,000,000. In oourse of a statement on the condition of postal finances, Mr Hitohcoak says in his report: "In 1911, for the first time siuoe 18S3, postal receipts exoeed ed postal expenditures, leaving a surplus instead of a deficit. A heavy loss of revenue in 1912 due tx the extraordinary amount of franked matter mailed in the. po litical campaign, created a tempo rary deficit, but since the close of the fiscal year the income of the department again has outstripped expenses. "The year prsceding the present administration was marked by the largest postal deficit on recoid amounting to $17, 500,000. Dur ing the next two years the deficit was greatly reduced and eliminat ed. When oompared with the financial showing of four years ago, the reports of income and ex pense for subsequent years indi cate an aggregate saving of about $45,000,000. Rebels Move Nortlward.

J WILL REMAIN UNTILIWAR BEGINS. Porte Orders Turkish Plenipotentiaries Not to Cobb Hods. London Feb. 2. -The Porte, has ordered the Turkish plenipo tentiaries not to leave London until hostilities are resumed and has instructed the Army to await the attack before firing a shot. Thus the Ottomans, who with the exception of the Montene grins, are the only delegates left in London, remarked today that nobody could aocuse them of not having done all that was humane ly possible to come to f&rms. Ani mated by a humanitarian spirit, they, added, Turkey wished to avoid useless carnsge and wished also to show deference to the ad vice of the Powers, although Eu rope had been unfair toward Turkey. D ?ct( r Daneff , head of the Bulgarian delegation, btfore leaving the capital, recalled what ie had said in his first statements arriving ij London that the ilkau peoples, whj had ad pted .4 Muuroe Doctriue to their nmuia, aspired to become the n-ricans oi Europe. They had i iangurated a policy of sincerity iL-d straightforwardness, as wab proved by their frank couduct in che peace conference, where they demanded from the first exactly woat they intended to take against double dealing on the part of the Turks. Dootor Daneff rejected the idea that even a small fraction of Ad- nanople should be retained by Turkey. He conoluded by saying: "Turkey should have under tood that she must abandon Eu rope entirely, her permanence there being opposed not only by (be Allies but bv the Powers them selves, as shown by their collec tive note. Turkey has, refused to qait peacefully but will be foroed to do so by another war, after which, fully realizing the Btrenatb of the Balkan States she will be came their friend." CRESCENT Jan. 81.
