Sevea Proainest Attorseyi Will Defead Haywood The Proiecatioa Will Not Have Locsl CoBsselOther De velopnesta la the Case. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 24. John Chick says the statement sent, out in the press dispatches last night that he saw the shooting of Ludlow Skinner by Ernest Hsy wood and there was no altercation and no blows passed is ab solutely without foundation. He says. he knew neither of the men by sight; that he passed into the postoffice and while in the lobby shots were fired. Ha only saw Skinner fall and Hay -wood have the pistol in his hand. He couldn't say there was no fight ' There has been no notable develop ments to-day. -No. local counsel has been engaged for he. prosecution. Hon. J. E. Woodard, of Wilson, will be chief of the prosecution counsel. Others are not announced. ' Counsel for the defence areT. M. Argo, Jas. H. Pou, W. H. Day, J. O. L Harris, W. N. Jones, J. N. Hold ing and W..O. Douglass. Many local, attorneys decline to prosecute Haywood because of inti mate association with him heretofore. The Raleigh News and Observer of yesterday morning says: Mr. Armistead Jones, solicitor of the district, will not prosecute Mr. Hay wood. He did not attend the coroner's inquest but requested Mr. B. M. Gat ling to do so. Asked last night about the troth of the report that be would not undertake the prosecution, Mr. Jones said: "Yes, it is true. I have thought it all out and decided that I cannot prosecute him. For years we have been intimately associated in practice, in many cases almost like partners, and I just could not prose cute him. Besides, he is a cousin of my wife. Judge Henry R Bryan, who would naturally be the Superior Court jadge to try the case, Is an uncle of the wife of the dead man. It will therefore be necessary to have another jadge to preside when the case is called on the 83 ad of March, unless there shall be a continuance.. THE COMPULSORY PILOTAGE LAW. New BUI Iotrodsced by Morton Lobbyists ' oa Their Way to Raleigh. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N.C, Feb. 24. Repre sentaiive Morton, of New Hanover, in the House to-day introduced a bill to regulate' the pilotage rates on the Cape Fear river by reducing the pilot age charges on licensed coastwise ves sels to 121 cents per ton, and making It a misdemeanor punishable by $100 fine for any tug boat or tow boat to discriminate between licensed and un licensed vessels in towage fees. This, Morton claims, will put Wil mington on a par with Norfolk-. There the pilot's fee is 10 cents per ton, but the greater distance np the Cape Fear, Morton says, justifies the extra 2 cents per ton charges. The Wilmington Chamber of Com merce bill, revising the entire system at Wilmington, Is expected to come up In the Senate to-morrow. A num ber of Wilmington people are ex pected to-night to work for and against both the bills now pending. The news tbat Representative Mor thonhadlntroducedbill!n the House regulating pilotage was unexpected by the pilots here yesterday, but they soon had private information that "something was doing" besides the Chamber of Commerce bill and Meiers.

Hsrriss, Zach Bell, Pierre Holmes, Willie Peck, Dr. Foster, Ben Parmele and James Gause. Compulsory pilotage is n necessity. It is just as compulsory to the pilot to stay at his post as to the vessel that pays it This tax is" levied at every Southern port and to keep up a proper system of pilotage it must be compul sory, or else we will have pirates. If pilotage la abolished insurance rates must increase, as our bars and river channels are always shifting, hence experts are required.- They were licensed by the titate in good faith. Oar city does not lose or pay: one penny of this necessary tax, bnt nearly trery dollar of it is spent here. REVENUE MEASURE. Legislators at Raleigh Are Busy With the Act to Provide State Funds.
