The four sailors arrested In a house near the tcene of the accident could not ba connected with the affair and will probably be discharged unless it is ascertained that they have deserted some ship cow in port.

Ia Ihe Benate ! to day the feature was the tabline of the bill to repeal a previous bill to reimburse State Treasurer Lacy the amount embezzled by Institutional Clerk Martin, Republican, who bad been retained In the office a short while after the Democratic adminis tration took charge in 1901, and in the House the only matter of real interest was consideration , of the bill to pre vent the oper4Hfra of baeket shops la the State. .--v. . , When the House bill denying the reimbursement of Mr. Lacy came up iu the Senate, Mr. Fousaee, of Dur ham, advocated it, saying that if he had been present when the first relief bill passed, he would have opposed it. Senator Boddie, after further discus sion, moTed to table the bill denying Mr. Lacy the reimbursement and the motion was carried, 19 to fl7, the Re publican Senators not voting with the exception of Mr. Pearson, who voted aye. The Senate stands by its first act on to pay Mr. Lacy the $374 em oezzied by Martin. The Stewart bill, preventing the op eration of bucket shops, was the spec.al order in the House. Mr. Woodard, of Wilson, offered a substitute. Mr. Biggs aid as Mr. Stewart was absent on ac count of illness at his home in Harnett county, he moved to re commit to the Judiciary. Mr. Graham, of Granville, moved to make the bill the special or der for Wednesday, Feb. 8th. Mr. Mc Nincb.of Mecklenburg said Mr. Wood ard's substitue should be also consld ered by the Judiciary Committee so that all could ba heard, Mr. Graham withdrew bis motion, postponing ac tion and Mr. Biggs' motion to re-corn mft was carried. t' 5 t The 8enate opened with prayer by Dr. DuBose.

Onslow was stricken from bill regula ting time of killing squirrels in Wake, Dare and Franklin and the bill was passed. The Senate bill to pay the expenses of the inanguratin com mittee to WlnBton-aaiem was passea. The House bill to releive the Agrlcul. tursl Department from contributing to the current expenses of the A. and M. College was also passed. Senator Scales, while not opposing the bill, said it would really mean an appropri ation of $10,000 and he thought every bill carrying an expenditure with it ought to go before the Committee on Appropriations. ' I The House was opened with prayer by Rev. M. T. Plyler, or Chapel Hill. The most important bill I Introduced was one by Judge Wlnbourne, of Hertford to allow either race to vote a special school tax, Judge Winbourne's bill differs from bis first bill in that it is intended as simply a Legislative act and not a constitutional amendment. It is Introduced at the suggestion of Governor Glenn, who believes the Su preme Court will hold tbat it would not be a discrimination against either race. I Mr. Britt introduced a bill to amend Chapter 153, Laws of 1903, relative to hunting on lands of another in Robe sen county. All others were local. . , Mr. !

James H. Pou appeared for the At lantic Coast Line and O. B. Byan for tbe Seaboard. Mr. Pou said that while the Fousbee bill would cause a loss in monev to the railroads, It would save In the convenience , of aboiish- lnsr second class ' fare and it tbe Legislature saw fit to pass it, his roads wonld not resist tne jaw : oui mey most strenuously oppose Laughing house's bill, as 2i cents per mile was a lower rate than was charged in any State in the world and it would prove diaaastrousto the railroads of North Carolina. Mr. Ryan's talk was along the same lines. He went into details of operating roads and said such re duction as was proposed In Laughing house's bill would necessitate the cul ling off of such local accommodation trains as those between Weldon and Raleigh and Wilmington and Hamlet and would in many ways seriously cripple the progressive policy of the Seaboard which they ate striving to pursue. .

It is stated that several of the defendants in esses of a similar nature are contem plating a submission and payment of tbe license tax,' $22 per , month, but they are in rather an awkward posi tion, as they fear that a submission would carry with it all back license and at least a part of those who have been served with warrants have been in business many months.

Warnings Issued by Westher Baiein Yes ; terdsy Groasd Hog Day Let esd. Warnings were issued yesterday by the Weather Bureau of another cold wave which Observer Felger has fished out of the northwest some where. The admonition to trackers and all those who have pipes likely to freeze, Is in this language: "Fair and much colder to-night and Friday, with cold wave; fresh northwest to north winds." Soon after the warning was Issued yesterday morning the tempera ture began to fall and this morning it is quite chilly. Wraps and overcoats are decidedly In order. The cold wave signal calls to mind that yesterday was ground hog day and, according to the, popular super stition, the wary, little rodent came out of his hole yesterday, saw his shadow and darted back Into the earth for sixty more days of , Winter weather. By the same token we are told that this will be an excellent crop and fruit year. . j WEEK'S THEATRE OFFERING!. , "Tbe Simple Life" Tuesday Nigbt Week of Repertoire The Pawabreker. - ii : The well known Charles Dickinson in the bright, fantastic comedy, "The Simple Life'Ms the next offering at the Academy of Music next Tuesday night.
