It is learned that the number of witnesses is about GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Morton Introduced a Bill for the Election of Chief of Police of Wilmington BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN. City Charter Passed the Hoaae Without Amendment la the Senate Amend meat Will Probably Be Made to Submit to Vote of People. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, February 22. Mr. Morton .introduced a bill in the Senate tolay to provide that tbe Board of Aldermen elect the chief of police of Wilmington instead of his being nomi nated in primary. The present , law provides that the mayor and chief of police be chosen in the primary. .The purpose of the bill is to have the 'law effective at the coming election, lest the new charter which has a similar provision is not operative in time. Morton's bill was considered this afternoon by the committee on Citiea and Towns who will to-morrow report it favorably. The bill for Wilmington's new charter was not amended when it passed the House, ,Mr. Willard not having offered an amendment provid mg for an election to pass on tbe charter. Mr. Morton said to-night that he had reoeived a number of re quests from citizens to be heard on the new charter and the . committee set next Monday afternoon as the time to hear them. Morton was asked if he intends any special changes by amendment He says he wants to hear definitely from citizens, but thought the only amend ment he would insist on was to sub mit the charter to a vote of the people before it is operative. The following important bills passed final reading in the Senate : To auth orize the Council of State to award contracts for State printing; Sen ate bill regarding judgments on homestead and suspending the statute of limitation as to all judgments; to allow Hyde county to levy a special tax; to incorporate the New River Valley Railroad Co. A bill to revise the general corpor ation law passed second reading on roll call. The ballot was 84 ayes, 18 noes. An amendment was adopted striking out clauses to provide for ""Merger of corporations" and the right of one. corporation to lease its property and franchise to another corporation. The Senate concurred in the House amendments to bills incorporating the Richmond Savings Bank and East Lumberton. Mr. Foy introduced a bill to repeal the charter of Point CaswelL The principal feature of the House proceedings was the passage of the bill to protect and promote the oyster industry. An amendment to this bill by Nicholson to allow a rebate of one cent per bushel instead of half a cent was voted down. Thompson, of Onslow, said the committee opposed rebates, but agreed to one half cent. The spirit of compromise met object ions from Nicholson. It was not right to make a man who dug oysters out of a bed pay a tax and give it to canners and packers. We have now the best oyster law ever (ormuiatea, n tne House stands by the bill and does not adopt the amendment There are already over six thousand dollars un paid claims on the oyster board, due to defects in the law and tbe faulty ad ministration of it. Other bills passed : To incorporate the Marion and Northwestern Co.; to in corporate East Lumberton ; to author ize Mtcklenburg county to issue bonds for road improvements; to amend the charter of the Lumberton and Lumber River Company; to exempt tram and narrow gauge roads whose principal business is transportation of logs, from the penalty in section 1717 of the Code, carrying freight for farmers; to amend the law regarding tbe Board of Health this changes the term of office of tbe county physician from one to two years, creates a county sanitary com mittee composed of two ph sicians and the county commissioners and changes- the term of members of the Board of Health from four to six years. Bill to charter the North Carolina Veterinary Association was tabled. Bill to amend section 3, Act 9, of the Constitution, was made the special or der for next Thursday. Bills were introduced : By Carlton, to allow Duplin' county to sell its house for the aged and infirm. By Pierce, to amend the charter of New born. By Mann, to prevent the sale of liquor in Hyde county. By Hood, to establish graded schools at Mount Olive. By Duls, to incorporate the Raleigh and Virginia Railroad Co. The Judiciary Committee decided to report favorably the bill to create a code commission. The joint committee on Congress ional districts was at work till a late hour. There is no definite arranger ment yet for ten Democratic districts. Watts' bill is nearest solving the problem. Senator Brown thinks. This makes the Sixth district consist of New Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus, Bladen, Cumberland and Harnett. Brown, who is a prominent member of the committee, does not believe the Assembly will finally redistrict - the State. The Joint Finance Committee com pleted the Revenue act to-night and sent it to the State printer. For Whooplngr Cough use OHENflrS EX WILMINGTON; N.

Mr. Willard Introduced It Without Amend meot as Sent Officially by Board of Aldermen. Advocates and opponents of the measure were much interested yester day in the passage upon its final read ing in the House of Representatives of the new city charter, about which there has been so much discussion for ' the past few rAnths. The chief sub ject of inquiry relating to the passage was as to whether or not the bill went ihlough. with tbe amendment as proposed by Mr. Willard submitting it to a vote of tbe people as was told of in the Star's special telegrams a day ago, or whether it had gone through as originally presented strip ped of any modifications. Private telegrams received yester day stated that there was no amend ment by Mr. Willard but the follow ing telegram from Mr. Willard to a gentleman in the city and received last night explains with the Stab's Raleigh telegram printed this morn ing, the reason for the absence of any amendment. Dear Sib I am in receipt of your letter in regard to the city charter. I did intend to offer an amendment to the city charter providing that it should be submitted to a vote of the people and had the amendment drawn up. After thinking it oyr, however. 1 came to the conclusion - that 1 ought not t do it, as it was sent up to me officially from the Board of Aldermen and it was not my business to make any change in it Mr. Morton tells me that he will offer an amendment in the Senate to submit it to a vote of the people and also several other amendments. 1 did not read it through, but simply introduced it and asked for its passage as a measure snt to me by the Bjard of Aldermen of our city. It seems to me they should have provided for its submission to the people. Yours, very tralv. M. S. Willard. HE WILL NOT ACCEPT. " Rev. Edgar Carpenter, of Portsmouth, Declines the Call to the Rectorship of St. Pant's Parish. The Rev. Edgar Carpenter, assistant rector of Trinity P. E. Church, Ports mouth, Va., will not accept thV'call recently tendered him by St Paul's Episcopal parish of this city, this in formation haying been conveyed in a private letter received in the city yes terday morning.- (his declination of the call will be received with much regret by the members of the Wil mington parish, who were much im pressed with him upon the occasion of his visit here a few weeks ago and who brought every influence to bear upon him for an acceptance. The Rev. Mr. Carpenter in writing of his rejection of the call says: "For many rersons I should like to come to Wilmington, the people were so gracious to me while on my visit, and they seem to be willing to accept me as their pastor. But I feel it my duty to remain where I am and I have written to Mr. Pickett declining the call. .1 shaU always have pleasant recollections of your town." Many Children Entertained. The children of the primary depart ment of the Sunday school of the First Presbyterian Church were enter tained at a delightful reception in the Abbie Chad bourn Memorial Hall from 3 to 6 o'clock yesterday after noon. Many games were played and refreshments were served. The occa sion was one of much genuine enjoy ment for all the children present The committee of ladies in charge of the reception -was composed of the following; Mrs. J. G. Barentine, Miss Kate O'Hanlon - and Miss Bessie Wiggins, y NO PILOTAGE QUESTION. Shippers Contrast Port Charges Here With Other South ern Cities. PILOTS ARE ALSO AT WORK. Both Pactions Pind Warm Advocates of Their Position and a Lively Pight in tbe Legislature Will Likely Be tbe Result. There are two sides to every ques tion and that of a compulsory pilot age law appears to be no no exception t to the rule if argument is any indica tion of the presence of a two-sided vie w of matters. - All the talk in shipping circlet yes terday was about the proposed meas ure to abolish, or at least modify, the present compulsory system of pilot age in vogue at the port of Wilming ton, extended reference to which was made io tbesolamns yesterday And both parties to the controversy appear to have found warm advocates of their respective views oh the subject in all vocations and professions. The Pilot's Association ia lining ud its members to make a fight upon the bill now in the Legislature and advocates of the bill, who are princi pally shippers from the port, are no less active in their steps to see that the , bill either gets through as originally introduced or that it is so modified as to more nearly conform to their ideas of right and justice in the premises. A petition pointing out the alleged necessities and advantages of the compulsory system was yester day circulated and largely signed but as to further steps the pilots would take, a Star representative could learn nothing. The following communication from Mr. J. A,' Arringdale, of the Cape Fear Lumber Com piny, one of the largest foreign and coastwise shipping men in the city, was' yesterday re ceived for publication. To the Editor of the Morning Star: Dear Sir: I notice in your issue of tne 2 2nd what is said pertaining to the Compulsory Pilotage Law, and quoting Judge Simoxton. The Judge only passed on it from a legal stand point and not from a business one, and what I- will write is strictly from a business one and not from a legal one. New York has abolished the Compulsory Pilotage Law on coastwise vessels and has prospered accordingly. Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have done the same; Maryland and Delaware have done the same; Virginia, while' she has not abolished the law entirely, has . so. modified it that coastwise vessels going to Norfolk carrying say 425,000 feet of lumber can be towed from the Cape to Norfolk, a distance of thirty odd miles, put in her dock at Norfolk and towed back to the Cape for the round sum or f 75.00, and the same vessel by paying 10 cents per ton on her registered tonnage of say 500 tons or $50 per year paid to the Pilots Association will be entitled to trade in and out of the' Capes and Norfolk as often as she likes during that year without any extra pilotage charges. Now comparing this vessel with the same vessel trading at Wil mington and the difference in the charges would be approximately as follows: Towing from sea to Wilmington and return to sea. 500 tons (square rig) at 25 cents per ton, $125 ; Pilotage from sea to Wilmington and return to sea on a U4 foot vessel, $117; docking vessel at Wilmington, $5; total $247 00. Towing from sea to Norfolk and return to sea, $70; docking vessel at Norfolk, $5; pilotage by license .per trip, approximately, $5. Total, $80. Difference in favor of Norfolk, $167 00. Now supposing the boats make ten trips a year from both ports the accounts will stand thus : Expenses of vessels for ten trips a year from sea to Wilmington and return to sea,towing, pilotage and dockage, $3,470. Ex penses of vessels for ten trips from sea to Norfolk and return to sea towing, pilotage and dockage, $800.00. Difference in favor of Norfolk, $1JB70. You will notice this makes a differ ence of $1,670 more, in the expenses per year that it will cost the same ves sel to trade here than it would to trade in Norfolk owing to the excessive charges for almost identically the same work. This is only one illustra tion, but is practically a correct one, There is not a ton of coal, salt, kainit, fertilizing material, lumber, spirits of turpentine, tar rosin, or anything shipped into this port or away from this port in cargo lots, that does not pay just such a proportion of the f xtra charges as compared with Nor folk and the Northern ports. Now does it strike anyone as being .strange that the vessel men or the shippers should object to this state of things, aud that they should ask their repres entatives to help to put this pilotage on a fairer basis f The bill in the Legislature does not ask for the abolishment of the entire Pilotage LaWt but it simply asks to amend section 3,496 of tbe Code relating to Pilotage and repealing the provision of the law compellling ves sels "who are in tow of a tug, and who employ tug boats" from being compelled to pay pilotage, which is certainly fair. The average coastwise boat coming to this city would not draw over fifteen feet of water, and with twenty feet of water under them and behind a tug boat who knows the channel why should they have a pilot! All the captains complain bitterly about this and say that the pilot seldom touches the wheel, and they seldom give an order, and any man who can not steer his vessel behind a tug with four or five feet of water to spare under him should not be allowed to sail a vessel. I do not wish to take up any more of your valuable space, and as I only wished to make this one illustration, I will leave it to the people to judge which is most unreasonable of the two propositions, viz: Whether the pilots shall continue to charge the present exorbitant charges, or whether they shall be modified as we set forth before the Legislature. Yours, very truly, Juo. A. Arkikgdalk. The bill by Mr. Rountree, which created the stir among advocates pro and con of the measure, is indexed as B ig n yk m n tv TAR 1901. one "to amend section 3,496 of the Code, so that a barge towed by a tug having a pilot need not itself carry n additional pilot." If this caption entirely covers the provisions of the bill it would appear that the ordinary sailing vessels which enter here, will not be affected by the law ,but so far as pertains to them the same system of compulsory pilotage: will be appli cable.
