The agreement for open sessions, re garded possibly aa forecasting public consideration of the peaee .treaty, the Frnnee-Americaa agreement and sub sequent treaties, followed unanimous approval by the Foreign Relations Com mittee of the Colombia convention call ing for payment to that nation of (25,000,000 aa claims growing out of the partition of Panama.

PROPOSES, HOWEVER, TO r HAVE REAL DISCUSSION New Bern Congressman Not Averse To Meeting; Prospec tive Opponent On The Stamp Bnt Not LooUnfe For One sided Affair; Bather Likes Idea, and Health Is Good The News and Observer Bureau, , 603 District National Bank Bldg. By PRANK W. LEWIS. (By Special Leased Wire.) Washington, D. C, July 29 A recent publication in a North Carolina paper relative to Mr. Charles L, Abernethy's csndidaey for Congress and his avowed desire to have a joint debate with his prospective opponent, 'Representative Samuel M. Brinson, has revived s old controversy and has caused renewed in terest ia the matter. It waa believed that the termination of a similar controversy some time ego would bo all thst would be said on the subject until the two opposing candi dates had actually begun negotintions to meet each other ia public debate, but Mr. Abernethy's friends have again opened the controversy by printing a story that Mr. Abernethy is anxious to meet Mr. Brinson on the stump and that he will divide time with hia oppo nent, if such arrangements should be agreeable. Representative Brinson is very muca nettled over the attitude of his pros iwwtivn nnnoneat on the matter of a joint debate, contending as he does that the proper way for them to meet on the stump is for them to have an agreed list of appointments, where there will ha aa coital show in I for each without any advantage to either. In discuss ing the situation Mr. Bnnaod toaay said: Mr. Brlasoa's Statement. Mr. .Abernethy went through the diaaricA-eaat-Teaw 4wetin thai. aaUhei Mr. Hood nor Colonel Dorteh would ut him ta debate. I am holdinf the seat in Congress which he eovets aad I should thiak lie would challenge ma as he did Mr. Hood and Colonel Dorteh. Rnth af thnsa reatlemett were ia VOOr health and the excitement of a joint debate would have been very bad for them and they very properly declined. Inli mod health, aad if I am still in good heslth next year I chsll be glsd to meet Mr. Abernetny in aeosie. 1 notice that if I will go around- to hia appointments be will yield me time. Why not have a regular joint debate and permit me aa ia the custom to hare a voice in nsming the places for these discussions and fixing the time ns well. If it is to be a real Democratic joint discussion my convenience ought to be consulted as well as his. "If he will not challenge me, I shall challenge him. Ordinarily joint dia- euasion between men of the same party do not conduce to party harmony, but there is slresdv lack of harmony and neraiitent effort to foment discord, I think a joint debate will tcna to. clarify the atmosphere and contribute ta a better understanding. Mr. Aber nethy will undoubtedly meet me in joint debate neit year.' MaJ. Hnlvey Cannot Ketarn. Owine to mlea in the army bearing on commissions for the emergency it haa been found that Major Hulvey can not be detailed lor lurtner service ai tha Karth Carolina Agricultural and Engineering College but that some reg- ulsr army officer appointed to replace Mijor Hulvey. Henator Simmons took this matter up with the Wsr Department, making on urgent appeal for the retention of Major Hulvey at the college. In response to hia letter on the matter Adjutant Gen eral P. C. Harria said: "I am directed by the Secretary of War to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 17th instant in which you quote his letter of June 5th, and letter from Dr. W. C. Biddick, president of the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, relative to the retention of Msjor Hulvey at that college. "Ia reply you are advised that due to lack of appropriations the Secretary ef War haa directed that all officers holding only commissions for the emer gency, including applicants for per manent appointment, will be discharged oa or before September SO, 1919. la compliance with this order it will be neeesssry to discharge Major Hulvey on "or beforitMnhrte."- "Every effort will be made to replace Major Hulvey with an officer of the highest character . and suitability who will be personally acceptable to the authorities of the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering. If this college has sny preference of a regular army0ffleef who -has had five years' commissioned service it is su geeted thst they bring this matter to my attention."
