CHAMBER V Important Specu Reeling Yes terday Noon For U deration of Matters of Legislation. THE TARIFF ON LUMBER No Reduction is Wanted Present System of Pilotage on Cape Pear Regarded Satisfactory For Stronger Assignment Law. Important matters of legislation en gaged a special meeting of the 'Cham ber of Commerce for more than an hour yesterday at noon. The threat ened reduction of the tariff on lum ber, which would be most disastrous to the South, was opposed In a splen did argument and resolution prepar ed by President J. A. Taylor and una nimously adopted; the Chamber reg istered an empnatic protest against any change whatever in the present very satisfactory system of pilotage on the Cape Year' river and bar; it was resolved to employ a competent attorney to draft a suitable bill cov ering features of a. more satisfactory assignment law in view of the contem plated abrogation of the National bankruptcy law and a number of oth er matters were considered. The very able argument of Mr. Tay lor as to the lumber situation was upon motion of Mr. Sam Bear, second ed by Mr. Wm. H. Sprunt, unanimous ly adopted. Mr. Taylor discusses the entire theory of the tariff, a settled policy of this country, by whatever political party administered, to raise a large part of the revenue through tax on Imports. The present exigen cies "bf the revenue, he thought, did not permit of a reduction of income from customs source, unless some other form of taxation, direct or 'ex cise, is laif,iand for this he consider ed the public mind was not prepared. Under this situation it was obvious that the proposed revision of the tariff will be more, nominal than Teal, but notwithstanding- this there H a strong intimation that jthe duty on lumber will be entirely removed. In asmuch as the South produces one half of the lumber supply of the country and as the duty Is now only $2 per thousand or 12 per cent, adva lorem, and is in faet as well as in the ory .a revenue tariff, it would be es sentially inequitable to remove the tariff on lumber, leaving undisturbed practically all other schedules. While the duty on lumber is only 12 per cent., Mr. Taylor set out, the duty on articles that enter largely Into- the construction of saw mill plants are from 35 to 75 per cent., so that to cut these schedules Jialf In two would still leave a rate on these articles 500 per cent, above the1 rate on lumber. ' Tn consideration of the able argu ment of the president, the Chamber unanimously went on record as fol lows: "1st That in view of the preamble "herein set out, there Is no justification for removing or changing the present duty on lumber. "2nd. That a copy of this resolu tion be forwarded to our Senators and Representatives in Congress with the request that they use their Influence I to defeat any change in the lumber rate. 3rd. That we believe that in mak ing this request of our Senators and Representatives we are asking no thing that they cannot conscientiously grant and 1n granting render a ser vice alike to the public revenues and legitimate industry." Mr. H. C. McQueen brought the at tention of the Chamber to the amend ment Introduced in the Legislature by Representative Morton changing the present very satisfactory arrange ment as to pilotage on the ape Fear river and bar. He read the following which Mr. L. B. Rogers made a motion to adopt, seconded by Mr. James H. Chadbourn, viz . "Whereas, The present law regulat ing the matter of pilotage on the Cape F'ar River and Bar was the outcome of a long agitation of the matter, and is in its terms a modification or pre viously existing conditions, and, Whereas, a competent Board of Navi gation, representing jointly interests of Wilmington and Southport, is in charge of the service, and has Intro duced machinery which has worked to the general satisfaction of all In terests, and Whereas, a large majori ty of the shipping interests of Wil mington, three fourths of the pilots, and the Chamber of Commerce of Southport, have gone on record in support of the present system and management, and in opposition! to any! change of tha law, be it Resolved by the Wilmington Chamber of Com merce ! 1st. That we think it Inexpedient! to make any change whatever in the present pilotage laws for the Cape Fear River and Bar. 2nd. That Representative Morton be requested to show deference to the opinion- herein expressed, and to withdraw his pending bill amending the present law. Mr. R. A. Parsley opposed the reso lution as presented by Mr. McQueen and thoueht Ithat the amendment by Mr. Morton was a good thing as it gave to the pilot who braved the ger of piloting a .vessel from the out- AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTY Commissioners as Auditing Committee in Regular Session Annual Re port of Hospital Treasurer's Monthly Statement.

WALKER OVERTAKEN Brunswiclc Fugitive and His Ac complice Routed by Sheriffs Posse; Latter Taken. NEAR BOLTON LAST NIGHT Dudley Arrested ut Murderer Fled Into Swamp Before Fusilada iof Shots Prisoner Brought Here on Way to Southport. After an ' unremitting chase since last Sunday morning, most of the time with thi bloodhound from Chad bourn, through' the fastness of swamps of miles xarea, Sheriff J. J. Knox and posse, -of Brunswick county, last night a tew minutes after 7 o'clock, overtook J. C. Walker, slayer of Sher iff Stanland,' and his accomplice in storebreaking, Will Dudley, both of whom broke jail at Southport last Friday night, the latter having drop ped on his knees and surrendered while Walker disappeared into a swamp before a fusillade of shots. The scene of the capture of Dud ley and the encounter with Walker was about two and a half miles from ! Bolton, on the W., C. & A. railroad, from which point Dudley was brought to Wilmington on the early morning train today and placed in the New Hanover jail by Messrs. J. H. Thomp son and R. S. Pinner, of Southport, members of the sheriff's posse, who will take the prisoner to the Bruns wick jaii this morning. Walker is closely guarded in a swamp by Sher iff Knox, members of his posse and a large number of volunteers from am ong the employes of the Waecamaw Lumber Co., at Bolton, and it is be dleved that he wjHl be taken this morning. There are said to he about 75 in the party surrounding the swamp, which while large, is pretty well situated to prevent the fugitive's escape. . AH day yesterday the sheriff's posse was within .B cr 6 hours of the two fugltlTesV'who Iwejre, first neard from at a hogging -camp of Italians, " about seven mOes from Bolton. One of the. number asked for food there and upon being refused, went off into the swamp. Sheriff Knox and his men ar rived shortly afterwards and the chase became lively, the members of the posse spreading out In all direc tions and endeavoring to cut off every! avenue of escape towards the T&ilroad. A little after 7 O'clock last .night in the road near a bTanch Mr. William 13. Maultshy and "Mr. Applewhite, both of Town Creek, and members f the posse, saw two men vand advanced up on them. Mr. Ma-tfitsby called out to them to halt and Tradley immediately fdpped on his knees and eurrender- ed. Walker, without showing fight. ran Into the swamp as Mr. MaultsTSy opened up on "him with a Winchester and Mr. Applewnite with a shot gun. One of the number stated that Walker evidently dropped but recovered him self as if wounded, and It Is said to be strongly probable that he may be found wounded in the swamp today. The firing attracted ether members of the posse very soon and men were thrown out In all directions to ur round the swamp, wnlch Is known as "Jesse Island, a part of the Green Swamp territory. Yesterday morning word came from Sheriff Knox that the Chadbourn bloodhound, which had proved of in valuable service in tracking the fugi tives, had given out and Mr. John W. Brooks, of this city, telegraphed to Burgaw for the Pender bloodhounds, a pair of splendid animals, which ar rived on the evening train last night in charge of Jailer RIvenbark and will be taken on the 5 o clock train this morning to Bolton to join In the search for the desperado. Dudley was brought in securely tied last night by Messrs. Thompson and Pinner, his clothing tattered and torn from the flight through the thick swamps he has been compelled to traverse ahead of the officers, for five long days and nights. He talked free ly when seen at the jail. He said he was glad that he had been captured and would have surrendered from the first If Walker would have allowed him to do so. He is a mere strip of a boy, florid of complexion and with long, bushy hair. He says that he is only 15 years of age, and he seems not much more than that; that his home is at Athens, Ga., and that his father Cebron Dudley lives there and is employed in a cotton mill. He says that he joined Walker in Brunswick about two weeks before he was ar rested and was on his way out West. He said that Walker filed his shackles in the Southport jail with a piece of hoop iron but that he affected his es cape from the cell by a false key which he had made and which he says he will show to the, officers se creted in the jail when he gets there. He said that Walker forced him to come out of the jail with him and that the officers have been close be hind them from the day the chase started. They could hear the blood hound yelping on their trail part of the time and had resorted to the ex pedient of pouring kerosene into their shoes and rubbing them with sassa-ieye fias roots to throw the hound off tho track. Yesterday, he said, when they were more closely pursued, he ' said (Continued on page four.) A SOLUTION IS REACHED Protection of Truncking Industry Now Seems Assured in New Measure Agreed Upon in Conference. Delegation Returns. President Wm. E. Springer, Secre tary HL T. Bauman and others of the members of the Executive Committee of the East Carolina Truck and Fruit Growers' Association, who went to Raleigh in the interest of the bill for the protection of the trucking indus try, returned to their homes last night, evidently well pkased with the turn of affairs, before the Legislature with respect to the relief sought. As stated yesterday morning, attor neys differed as to the original bill presented and yesterday came the news that this has been discarded in favor of a new measure which pro vides a tax of $10 per year on buyers and solicitors of fruit and produce, the same to be paid into the State. Board of Agriculture and kept as a separate account for the maintenance of the Association. . President Sprin ger stated that as he was leaving the joint committee had agreed upon this compromise measure and that Robert Ruark, Esq., attorney for the Associa tion and Mr. J. A. Westbrook, of Mount , Olive, were teft in charge of the bill. The following special was received last night from Raleigh: Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 4. The Joint Committee on Agriculture and Repre sentatives of the Eastern Carolina Truckers' Association and Attorney General Bickett have, they believe, solved the difficulty in providing reve nue for the expense of the inspection of shipments and marketing berries and truck that seemed so effectually blocked yesterday by the Hepburn aci, preventing railroad companies from collecting the one cent and half cent per crate extra with freight to be paid over to the Truckers' Associa tion. They have agreed on a substi tute bill that provides an appropria tion of not over $5,000 from the State Department of Agriculture for the purposes of the Association and im -poses a license tax of $10 pn all iniy ers and solicitors of truck, this to be paid into the Department of Agricul ture .and accounted separately to cov. er the appropriation in paying the agents, of the Tnuefcers Association. The president- of the Association cer tifies the accounts . to the Commission; er of Agriculture and. he to the State treasurer for payment. This substi tute will he reported to the House tomorrow and is certain to pass. The counties involved are Wayne, Duplin, Sampson, Pender, New Hanover, Brass wick, Columbus, Bladen, Robe son and Cumberland.

LEGISLATIVE MILL Many Measures, Important and Unimportant, Fed Into The Hopper Yesterday. CAPE FEAR PILOTAGE BILL Amendment Reported Unfavorably by Unanimous Vote Good Govern ment League Plan Killed Pro tection of Forestry in State. (Special Star Telegram.) Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 4. In neither branch of the General Assembly today were there any bills of more than pas sing interest. The committees of both houses were, however, busy in the afternoon and a number of im portant bills will be reported when the respective bodies meet tomorrow morning. Speaker Graham has re turned from court in Granville and resumed the reins of the Speakership in the lower House. The present pilotage law for Wil mington harbor and the Cape Fear bar will not be disturbed. Th House Judiciary Committee No. 2 voted una nimously today to report Morton's bill unfavorably. Mr. Taylor, of Brunswick, made a vigorous fight against the bill before the committee and he had to back him up, a petition signed by every man, he said, who had a dollar invested In a pilot boat. The very men, who are supposed to be benefitted by the Morton bill, had signed it and the same men who had Opposed the present law two years ago. Some of the pilots, it was point-4 ed out, confined their work entirely to the river, Capt. Craig for instance, the vetera.n of them all, who was pres ent, and consequently captains of ves sels wanting to be piloted on the river preferred to use their services. Mayor M. C. Guthrie, of Southport,. a member of the Board of Commis sioners of Navigation and Pilotage, addressed the committee against the. bill. Before be had concluded his re marks, Chairman Stubbs said aavthe evidence was vso'Overwhelmlng it Jwas -; useless to. hwuniore, ahd Uhibnr,, was promptly given air unfavrabley, report. Capt, i'Craig thanked the com- -mittee and added: "I hope you gen tlemen will pass a law so that if any one brings in another pilotage bill you can put him in the penitentiary." The Senate Routine. Lieut. Governor Newland convened the Senate at 11 o'clock with invocar tion by Senator Turner, of Harnett.
