May 3. .There, Is much sped lation among' ' Republican politicians in Washington who hall from' North Carolina, as to -the outcome of the figl t between Ma rion Butler and State chairman Ad ams. The .moment of he falling out of these Republican p liticians, there began a fight In the St ite for control jof the! delegation to th next Republl .' can ' National Conventh n. Control of : the party Is,' of course , Involved, but SUTLER'S ADAM the' real bone of contention Is the r completion of the delegation that will participate In the nomination of th Republican candidate for the Presi dency. There is not a Republican In the State who would nt t like to get on the right side of the fence early- in the game, but the iltuaUon Is so complicated that most of them aie - ,t doing 'nothing more t; ian to keep a ' close ear to the grouh l.v : V Butler started after Adams, ham mer ad tongs the minu e of their sep aration. At least 'he , :etsi the "credit for the charges of disloyalty to the President on the part- 'of Adams, which were ' poured into; t tie ears of former National Chairman Cortelyoo. - Adams way immediately on the de fensive. Duncan, the' National - com mitteeman, who standing by the State,- chairman Chastened Uhere ana Put an altogether, different ' story be . fore the President's political adviser. Mr..Duncan gav BUtlerha. jab to newspaper men, - and - what 4 he -said ' of ther former, populist-national chair- - man to, Cortelyou. Is hoU matter of record; but- it was pro! abiy a plenty, raere was no doubt. as to where Dun can stood, andt in the g; me of politics. ;" he knows a thing or tv o. . since then , Mr. Chas. J., Harris, th late Republi can candidate for Gor rnor has been here. ; He fought' Adam a fn the Bktck , . burn campaign for con rot of the last Republican contention but he- har bors no such feeling o: dislike to. the State chairman- as he does towarus . .Butler. It Is asserted n what Is con- sidered good authority that Mr.- Har ris handed Butler a bi nch of lemon before leaving town. He has, been in . conference with a nu mber of the , President's advisers, an I there is rea ,t son for saying- that he nformed them that the man from S irapson would almost destroy yth TafI boom In tne ' South If he became id( ntitied. with It In any degree of protni lence. - But this is not all or the fire that ha been ertea at Butler's heart. Still anotht, rtb Car nlina Republ. can -has bev. i on. his LraJI the past , week. This i Republican scored him In . an interviewUtith a man close to. the President, wao- is ssui posed to be no other than Secfetry of the Treas ury Cortelyou. i 7 - ' Rutlbpr indirect Attack- ' The octinime of this i oison shooting v. contest will soon reach a climax, and then,4hcre will be some hing doing in Republican politics. - Ti e administra- . 'tidn knows pretty well, tl at Adams and 4 Duncan control the h J ioonshine ; In , " North Carolina, and thi it Butler cuts ; little It e in the ,Stvte. . Butler's hold, according to , statement tnade here, is his knowledge of cordltlons In the , West. when , he wa the Pormllst Na- tlonal Chairman. Whai the ? adminis tration thinks of the ch irge pf dislov alty; on Adams' ; part i emalnsf to be seen. Butler ; has been pretty thick with Cortelyou. Hitches k. and others of the President's politic il cabinet., but it Is hard to believe th; t h will dis place Adams. There Is a strong current here to the. effect that Butler desires the appointment of a Board of Rft . t ertes to settle patronaj e matters In a number of Southern Stai es. This would , be fan Indirect" method of destroying ; Adams power, if Butljer- could" force the; nomination of Referees to- whom , all patronare would be referred. h - ( could completely shear Adamf povv , - er. It Is assumed of course that If Referees should be "named.. Butler would have the selection of the .ma jority of them. ; 1 r.-; tc. .-, Te ory- that Butler! has Tieen ap pointed the political representative of the administration in the South Is ' !still :, discussed k by Republican poll- . tlclans. Information in - Washington ). is that Mr.. Cortelyou i denies Butler , , - has any such authority . If v such au , .thority and con Qdence have been plac ed in the hands of the former Popu . list Senator,, It is fair toi conclude that he would '.already have secured a better, grip on the North Carolina situation In an Interview ln;a Wash- Ington Paper the Tar Heel. Republican . endeavors to mystify the situation. 4 - .That is Butler old gamerHe likes nothing better than to try to keep the ;: crowd guessing He said I n. h Is state- menu .I have made it a rule to - j- 'neither, deny nor admit anything, for f the simple reason that if I denied all t that I ought to deny I should not have : I time to do anything el- c I ' in IS BiienincB ivruuniy ; illumines TA oU.orln 9 Whan a RAnnKllM nf fome prominence read it he said: "I don't believe Butler has any f-ch ' authority i In matted pertaining -Republican politics in the South. i 1 if he has, he- won have it very i ch longer. Enough dynamite has been placed under , him recently to balk all his chemes." Sakl SonietlHiuc With Snap to It. One thing Butler did nay in this interview had snap to it and is of real force. He charged that 'the con spirators" are spending money in the f South to secure delegates to the na tional convention who are unfriend ly to the President. He charges that most of the five million dollar fund which the President declares has al ready been collected, is being spent South, of the Potomac. Mr. Butlet says' agents of the "conspirators" have been going through every Southern State. This means North Carolina. Who does the North Caro lian Republican leader refer to? That is what Republicans in Wash ington are asking. Butler said In his interview: l'A movement Is now being organ ized, systematically ad apparently with unlimited money behind it. to se cure from all (he Southern States delegates pledged -to some reactionary candidate, or nt least unpledged1, which would mean the same thing. I do not care to go into detail fur ther than to say that a considerable part or the $5,000,000 campaign fund, which, however, is only the first in stallment, ir being used below the Po tomac. It is easy to distinguish the agents of the movement. They have been going through every State try ing to get persons to co-operate with them, and have not been entirely successful. Indeed, they have em ployed 'or secured the active assistance of some of th best Republican ikU-i tidans and manipulators in the South. These men are attempting to organ ize, in every county. But most of them are political office-seekers and not those who seek the best Interests of the party. .They, will fall and have already begun to fail."

BOYS COT OUT TOBACCO HABIT Valuable Lesson From Book of Experience. POINTER FO R ATH LETES The Correspondent Explains AtMi.it How he ("nine to Vmviiul on the Subject or Court Decisktns Relating to iIm Selling of Whiskey. By ANDREW .lOYNEK. Greensboro. N. C May 3. Seveuty- five boys between the ages of fourteen and sixteen are members of the Ath letic Association of Greensboro High School. Within this Association are va rious teams, football, baseball, tennis. besides track workers and gymnasts. During the season the members of the baseball teams have strictly observed a rule of not smoking during the play ing of a practice of contest game. The boys evidently have considered this rule a good one, for during tae season they have played from six other towns los ing but one game and that to the Pleasant Garden Country school boys of Guilford county who do not know what boy smoking is. While a meet ing of the Association was being held yesterday afternoon, at which fifty members were present, one shrewd and observant youth, in commenting on the success of the first nine, call ed attention to the fact of winning so many games, complimenting the team and called attention to the fact that where they had won had been at places where some members of. the the opposing nine would light a cigar or cigarette while not working. The country boys of Pleasant Garden, who alone hod beat them did not use to bacco at all. The- conclusion was so strong that there was no difficulty whatever In' parsing a resolution t. cut out the use of t aba ceo entirely, the tobacco users among the members voting unanimously for it The reso luticm and pledge as adopted .reads: "Resolved. That rip person shall be eligible .to a position on. any. football or any other team gotten out 'by the Athletic Association of the Greens boro High School unless he signs th following pledge: " I hereby pledge myself to abstain from the use of tobacco in any form while in training for. or holding a position on any football, baseball or other team gotten out by the Athletic Association.' " Upon being vhown this reotuttn last night, this correspondent re marked. "Why did you omit intoxicat ing liquor, wine or beer from your pledge?" The young fellow Instantly replied, "We never thought of that, as none of us ever use-l either." , God bless these boys, as He certain ly lias favored them. A Guilford county country school where high school boys know nothing about smoking, and a Greensboro High School Association of s toys who know nothing about drinking and have pledged on their own motion to cut out tobacco. Shift big tlie IlC!onsllllity. Not having time to keen abreast of the Supreme Court decisions, this correspondent in preparing the story of the South Dakota case relative to the selling of liquor on order in pro hibition territory was dependent en tirely upon information given by a leading lawyer here, whose Investiga tion had led him to advise clients that they might be vioiatinr law. The lu cid and cogent editorial in this morn ing's News ami Observer is a vaduable contribution on the subject In ques tion, and the regret of this corres pondent at having Innocently misled others is about evened up by satisfac tion at hsvlng made such an able ex position of the subject necessary. Good lawyers here say the South Dakota case will not touch North Carolina order men since there is no statute requiring a special license of liquor order men and there can. be no tax on drummers for out of state business.; Yet an attorney here several days ago advised the liquor order men here that they had better stop taking or ders and they did. It seems that the mayor of Greensboro, after reading yesterday's News ami Observer, con cluded that it was safe to take action, so he had notice served on the liquor Order agents here to stop taking, or ders. As they, had already stopped, the order, of course, was obeyed. There will be a test case no doubt. Five Hundred Children to Sing.

SAVED BY A DREAM A Traveling Man Awoke With Shouts of Firemen Hinging In His Ears Brave Battle With Flames Many Lost AU Except Night CloUies. Vivid stories of the oHtel Carroliria fire were printed in the Durham pa pers. Many guests of the hotel lost everything they had except their night clohes. and some narrowly scape'd deah in th.- flames. The Sun tell about T. C Allison, the night, clerk, who lost, all his be longings, which he might have saved, but which he sacrificed to the flames in his efforts to warn guests of their danger. He gave the alarm to everv person in the building. He did this by' waveiy nsKing ma own life running through the halls and corrdors which were densly filled with smoke, and It Is o htm many of he guests owe their lives. Men rushed down stairs clad only in their night clothes and over coats. A number of persons acknow ledged that they owed their lives to Mr. Allison. One of the most remarkable inci dents of the fire is that of a man whose life was saved by a dream. The story is told by the Herald in the fol lowing: "One of the most peculiar incident about the fire was an experience of Mr. Paul Siocomb. a traveling man from Cleveland. Ohio. Mr. Siocomb undoubtedly owes his life to a dream. He had a room on the third floor and retired early. He ' had been asleep, probably an hour when he dreamed that the hotel was burned down and all of his money was gone and he waswritlng for money to cover his ex penses. The dream was so vivid that it awakened.. 1 Urn, and springing from h wasl Startled- by . the cries of Tthe Tflremen- The room .' was filled with smoke and without waiting to eute any garments Mr. Siocomb sailed out In a pair of pajamas which he donned when he retired. After reach ing the second floor he saw that he still had ample opportunity to escape and rushed back hoping to save' his clothes and a large sum of money which he had in his pockets. When he again reached the third floor the smoke was so dense that he was , un able to discern anything. ' Crawling on his hands and knees so as to avoid the sti filing smoke he made his way as to what he thought was his room and after grooping around for several minutes discovered that he was -in the wrong room. By this time the flames were spreading rapidly and .-Mr. Sio comb was forced to flee for his life. As he left he hlrd floor the front ceilings were crashing In and his es cape was a narrow one. "In discussing the matter with a Herald reporter Mr. Siocomb - said that he flrmlv believed he owed hi3 life to the dream.' He fai!ed to awaken when the alarm was given and stated that he would undoubtedly have perished had it not been for the dream. "Another guest, a Mr. Link, was III in bed an had to be " carried from the building. Another guest whose name could not be ascertained man aged o grab an overcoat in the ex citement an this was all he, came out with. He had 3500 in his room and this was lost together, with all his clothing. A traveling man who occu pied a room on the upper floor; also lost 3200 which in the excitement he left in his room and other guests lost small sums In a. similar manner." The firemen made an Intelligent and heroic effort to save the hotel, never .relaxing their efforts until the last ex tremity. As the fire originated on one of the upper floors. - Chief' Maddry thought his best point of vantage was on the third floor and kept his men there. Suddenly and -without; warning the plastering of the room in which the ure started crashed down and a moment later flames burst out on every ride. The firemen were forced to drop their hose and flee for their lives several of them fall fng pver the stairs in the darkness and smoke and but for the prompt assistance ren dered by the more fortunate ones would have met death. Chief Mad dry rallied his men. however, and again took up the fight n the inside ot the building, the third - floor of which was by this,, time practically a roaring furnace.: Step by -step the firemen were forced back and feeing that it was Impossible to -quell the flames from the Interior Chief Mad? dry ordered his men out of the build ing and placed them so as to protect the adjoining property. - DEATH OF.
