R. POWELL. (Staff Correspondent.) . Morganton, Dec 10. Many of th political warriors of old days came out to hear Secretary Josephus DanieU at Morgnnton this afternoon. With every bit of standing room inside occ .pied the crowd overflowed to the porches and banked the winding stairs on either side of the building. Secretary Daniels was introduced by C' A. Very, n leading lawyer here, who mas a lieutenant-commander in the navy during the war. The Secretary reviewed the accomplishment of the Wilson nd ministrrtion at length, pointed with satisfaction to the conduct of the war and touched lightly upon the burden, of the world that President Wilson grappled with in France. He was many times interrupted with applnnse as he recited the American contributions to '-the victory over au tocracy and when he passed to the issues of the Ninth his audience responded to the old-time fire aroused by "thia man Morehcnd." "What docs he say he will dot" asked Mr. Daniels. "He promises to tako a hand in the problems of re construction, 'but wo in North Carolina hn,e, aeon what Republican recongtrue .tioa means," and in n chorus a dor.eu 'Confederate soldiers inside the bar jn dieated that they too knew. " " Praises Clyde Hoey. Clydo Hoey, the Secretary declared, i- the personification of Americanism. ."He is as clean as a hound's tooth," said Mr. Daniels, "and tlio heritage irom A- father who fought with Robert K. Loo ,1s greater than the the MorebeaU heritage of thousands." ; Morehead. Caviue?H and Mike Whit ener were hero yesterday and had a fair eowd-. Morehead mad a abort speech and Cavinesa, who is one of the Jawdrumincrs" left in the world, made a long Speech. He worried a great deal about' taxes aid afterwards whispered that the force bill had never been intro duced.. He declared H Democratic lie. r. Cavlness is Morehead's chief strategist for reaching the illiterate. He is some thing of a flunkey for the Charlotte millionaire. Ho knows the brogue of the mountaineers bettor tliun Morehead and acts as an interpreter between More head and the boys who ride in from the remote townships to run. a hand down in the barrelsof boodle. Echoes of the Cavinesa denial that the Republicans had introduced a force bill in the Senate were heard hero today and brought to mind the celebrated ex change of Botes years ago between Marioa Butler and a radical, leader in this section of the Btate. It had been reported that Judge Douglass, then running for the Supreme Court bench, was an Episcopalian and "leaders" had wired Butler to find out. . '. "It is a Democratic lie," Butler answered. "Denounce on every stump. Douglass is a Baptist." Judge Douglass was a Catholic. Secretary Daniels Spoke in part aa follows: ,, j "There was a time when -Republican speakers wero vocal in deunelatioa of the Democratic party as the party of negation, They said the .mule was. a suitable emblem for our party because it was . always saying "whoa" to aew measures and was bopeleasly reaction ary. If there ever was a scintilla of foundation for that indictment the Elixir of Progress administered-by Dr. Woodrow Wilson has made the Demo e ratio donkey of today the moot alert, progressive, up-to-date champion of progressively constructive policies ever known in America. The mere recital of the sound measures of substantial progress enacted since Wilson was in augurated in 1913 is proof of the state meat. From the imposition of the in come tax (without which revenues for preparedness and carrying on the war would not have been available) and the enactment of the Federal Reserve Aet, (without which our fiscal policy would have been hopeless) to effective meas ures for preventing anarchy and mak ing it impossible for. treason to hold up its head in our free land (without which sabotage and treachery would have menaced national life) for these ad many other wise measures the coun try owes t lattif debt to the Wilson administration, Without great pro gressive and impressive measures, origi nated and sponsored . by Democratic leaders of this spoeh-snaklag adminis tration, the period of 3913-1919 would have lost ts flew and power. Add to this mass of well digested and wise legislation, most of it fought at every step by Republican leaders la aad out of Congress, the matehles preparation for and conduct ef .the victorious war by this administration, it should be deemed a privilege by all patriots to register a vote of present-day approval ia as significant a msnncr ss history it sure U give its lasting seal of honor and praia .

'NT; f ' y HECKLER TRIES TO E Republican Grabs Porcupine When He Undertakes To Cor ner Secretary of Navy By R. E. POWELL. Hickory, Dec. 10 A heckler in Secre tary Daniels' audience here tonight grabbed a porcupine. In a brilliant speech reviewing America's glorious part in the war, the Secretary had recounted the woniorful prosperity the Americas people were enjoying and declared that he, for one, did not want to return to low prices that obtained under Bepub licaa .rule,' Far. back in the- aadienen a voice called "Bow about lflli." "We 'hadnl gotten ever Republican rule,' earns the quick retort from Mr. Daniels and the big audience roared aad cheered In the wake of the applause' went up a .huudred demands that the heckler, who was sent over by the Republican erowd engaged in hearing Zcb Waleer at a aids show, staged by the Morehead forces to keep any of their followers from hearing Mr. Daniels' Democratic preachments be ejected from the hall. This demand for throwing the heckler out was not made by the audience nntil the man persisted in hia attempt to carry out his rude mission. He repeated the question and the erowd threatened to throw him out bodily. "No," Inter posed the Secretary, "Let him stay, I want him to hear the truth, let him ask his question or let him have a joint debate.-- " Tho heckler put his question. Didn't you insure cotton for $70 a bale for Wall8treetti "No, we never insured anything for the Wall 8treet gang," hotly replied the secretary. "We took control away from them-and allowed the farmers to get decent prices for their cotton. Wo insured the ships which enabled- them to move cotton from the congested ports of America to all parts of the world and cent the, price of eottoa soaring." .' The incident tonight had more cam paign flavor to it than anything done in the district nntil this time. Secre tary Daniels' speech was full of fire aad aroused the big audience to high Ditches of enthusiasm. The audience was at all times keenly responsive. Mr. Dan iels denominated Morehead as a peri patetic ny-Dy-night candidate adding he ie the only men the Republicans in North Carolina think decent enough to, run. WHITE MEN BREAK INTO BUNCOMBE NEGRO SCHOOL Asheville, Dee 10, Sheriff - Mitchell left here today to investigate charges that unidentified parties composed of white men and boys last night broke into and almost destroyed a negro school house at Beaver -Dam, sixteen miles from Asheville, and that this afternoon another group of white boys, fired oa negroes, injuring one of them! The first outbreak is believed to have started over a fight between white aad negro boys. . t Another serious outlhirst occurred this afternoon when a group of white boys, it is alleged, fired a shot gun at a group of negro children who wero oa their way home from school. A little girl was st rack oat ths leg by some 1 of the shot but was not seriously hart. The officials have learned the names of the aggressors, it Is said, aad prosecu tions are expected to follow. A teacher from the negro school reported to the eounty superintendent today that every window had been broken from the school house during . the raid,- doors were torn from their hinges, the stove wss torn down aad other damage in flicted to the interior of the building. Ths vandalism was not discovered nn til this morning when school had to be suspended temporarily because of the untenable condition of the building. The teachers managed to secure stove and bosrded up the windows so that ses sions could be held. They appealed to the county authorities today for finan cial sld in making repairs. START SOm THING 1 til ATTACK ON RAILROAD BILL Senator LaFollette Talks Two Days In Senate and Will Talk Some More Washington, Dec. 10. Attacking the Cummins. Railroad bill aa a measure especially designed to help the roads with their return to private operation. Senator LaFollette, Republican, of Wis consin, declared in the rlennte today that its enactment would "eomititute the greatest stain on legislation in the his tory of the American nation." , Contending ' that government owner ship wss the ultimate solution of ths railroad problem, 'lis Wisconsin Senator declared the plan had not been given a fair test, because there had been an organised preee and railroad . attempt to discredit it. Ia framing the bill to meet conditions arising with ths end of war time - Federal control, Senator LaFollette said that the Senate letes store commerce committee had not given a full hearing to the army of railway employes, vitally concerned in the fu ture policy of dealing with the great transportation systems. When the Senate recessed tonight Senator LaFollette had not concluded his address after speaking two days hand running and he will resume to morrow. There was no indication as to how much more time he might require and leaders say they now had no idea when the bill might be passed. . Senator LaFollette held the floor con tinuously through the session and after he had been talking two hours Senator King, Democrat, Utah, went to his res cue with a demand for a quorum which gave him a twenty minute:,' breathing spell. For some time the Senate sat idle and twirled its thumbs while efforts were boing made to round np a quorum, finally obtained by breaking up a com mittee meeting. While Senator LaFollette was assail ing the Cummins bill Robert S. Lovett, president of the Union Pacific system, in a statement sent to members of Con gress), declared the measure "had the merit at least of recognising the facts of the railroad situation and tho cour age of grappling with them in an hon est attempt to solve the problem." Judge Lovett described what he con sidered as tho good and bad features of the Cummins and the Esch bills, declar ing that the "most amaaing provision of the Esch measure ss amended by the House daalt with labor. "It effectually perpetuates every wage Increase and every working rule er reg ulation made by the Railroad Adminis tration during the stress of the world war and abnormal conditions resulting therefrom," ho said.' Mr. -Lovett ob jected to the section of the Cummins' bill declaring 8 1-2 per cent ef the value of railroad property aa determined by the Interstate Commerce Commission as a "reasonable retura" and confiscating all in exec of six per cent upon such value. "I deny that our people are ia favor of confiscating the aet earnings of a railroad company saved by it out of reasonable rate established or approVed by the government 'itself," Mr. Lovett said. Further increase la freight rates nndoubtedly are necessary "aa the gov ernment's own experience -with the rail roads shows," he said, adding that wall informed persons eould expect railway wages to bo materially reduced under sxieting conditions. ' ; The Chamber of. Commerce ef the United 8tates in a statement today call ing attention to its referendum last year oa needed railroad legislation said that unless the government adopted a railroad policy, f iat would enable pri vate corporations to meet expenses and obtain , necessary capital, "corporate operation will fail and tho government wil have to resume the burden of oper ating and probably of owaing the roads." .

Another memo randum oa the Mexican situation was sent today to President Wilson. t deals with the interference of the Mexican government with operation of American owned oil properties in Mexico and was prepared by Chairman Payne, of the Shipping Board, after representatives of the Associated Mexican Oil Producers, headed by F. B. Kellogg, of New Terk, had presented the situation to him. At the, same time Mr. Payne prepared and seat Secretary Lansing a letter urg ing the importance of protecting the American eupply of Mexican fuel oil Upon which the shipping board is al most solely dependent for fuel for ita 000 oil burning passenger and freight steamers. It developed today that the State De partment haa beea continuing to protest to the Mexican government against de crees forbidding the drilling . of new wells on privately owned property in the Tampieo fields and other decrees af fecting the oil interests of American and other foreigners in Mexico. Three notes have beea dispatched within six months, but it was said to day that President Carranxa had not replied to any of them. The first went forward last June 18, the second on Oc tober 1, and the third on November 18. Ia the first two tbs State Department specifically protested against the action of the Mexican government in prevent ing the drilling of new wells on property owned by Americans and insisted upon more sdequste protection of Americans working in the Tampieo oil region. ' The note of November 18 was dis patched after receipt of official informa tion that Carranza soldiers had seized another American owned welt on No vember 12. It was learned today that Mexicaa military forces st various times during the past month have stopped drilling operations of American companies on the pretext that "permits'' to drill had not been obtained. In order to obtain the "permit" foreign oil companies must agree in advance that such wells as msy be drilled would become the property of the Mexicaa government. The Unit ed States hss repeatedly protested against these decrees in psrtlenlar. Certain American owned companies desiring to increase oil production to meet the present fuel oil shortage la the United States, it was said, have drilled wells without admitting the loss of their property by such acts. The State Department, both in formal notes aad ia formal communications was said to bars informed the Mexiean government that tbia action by the American eompanlea was not in defiance of the Mexican authorities, but only the exercising of rights acquired under Mexican law. J CARRANZA AIMS TO DRIVE OUT AMERICANS, HI SAYS Washington, Dec. 10, Further tes timony taken by the Fall committee In vestigating Mexican affairs, made pub lic today, pictures the Carransa gov ernment as regarding all diplomatic protests of ths American government as perfunctory, aid accredits to officials of tho Mexican government policy of driving Ameriesns out of, the country. The committee today meds public the testimony of W. F, Buckley, aa Ameri can lawyer, long resident ia Tampieo aad one of the well known men of the American colony in Mexico. - . "Luis Cabrera (Mexicaa Minister of Finaneo), told me very frankly," testi fied Buckley, "that the menace of the Americaa la Mexico must be removed and that the only wny to do this wss to drive him out of the country and take his property.

"He explained to me," ths witness con tinued, "that Mr. Wilson was what he was pleased to term 'an advanced liber al, a great democrat,"' whose concern was for the welfare" of the people of the (Continued on Page Two.) " , STRIKE OF SOFT COAL MINERS ENDS; WILL RETURN TO WORK IMMEDIATELY; ' r UtL KcdTKlt TluNS MILL IN fOKtt E r Early Relaxation of Restric tions Not To Be Expected, Garfield Says NO IMMEDIATE REM EDY DIRECTOR GENERAL WARNS Goal Mined Will Be Allowed To Run As Billed Except That Tidewater and Export Em bargo Will Continue; Rail road Administration Will Help In Providing- Needs Washington, Dee. 10. Expressions by government officials of satisfaction and relief at the settlement of the nation wide strike of bituminous coal miners were coupled tonight with warnings to the American people that early relaxa tion of the drastic restrictions on the consumption of coal must not be ex pected. Tuel Administrator Garfield imme diately on receipt of word that the miners in Indianapolis had agreed to accept the President's proposal, de clared that immediate removal of regu lations on soft coal consumption was not to be considered. Director General Hinee in a formal statement asserted that dislocation cre ated by the strike could not be remedied instantly. The public, Mr. Hines said, will be expected to continue conserving fuel until normal conditions are re stored, but just as soon ss practicable restrictions will be rescinded or modi fled. ' . - . "As a preliminary to bringing back normal conditions," said the Director General, "coal mined will be allowed to run as billed, except the tidewater aad export embargo will continue; orders placed for eoal to Western regions, Pocahontas and Alleghany regions will be cancelled, but eonl billed on these orders prior to cancellation will be per mitted to go and be expedited eo that these ears can be promptly released for mines." The Railrosd Administration, Director General Hines announced, would aid in meeting the needs of other consumers by reducing its supply to n ten-days msrgin. The administration has been maintaining a fifteen-day supply. It wss intimated that the President already had practically deeided on the appointments to the commission and was awaiting only the returns of Attorney General Palmer from Indian apolis before announcing the names of the three members. "The dislocation which the strike has created in the production, transportation' ana aistriDution or eoal rannot he in stantly remedied," said Director General Hines in his statement, "and pending readjustment It is highly important for the public to continue to exorcise great eautioa in the eonaumption of eoal, and it is hoped there will be a due appre ciation of the uiffleultiea which cannot be immediately overcome. "During the striks the weekly pro duction of coal waa cut from 11,000,000 to 12,000,000 tons to about 8,000,000 tons and this much reduced tonnsge was mostly mined In Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Widely distant portions of the country which were ordinarily de- Kndent upon other eoal fields had to supplied from these and other un usual sources of supply. The result has been that the Railroad Administration has been compelled to transport eoal ever the most unusual routes and for distances far in excess of the normal hauls. This has resulted ia equipment being scattered widely to other parts of ths country. A nerlod nf tim .in be required for' the complete relocation or mis equipment and meanwhile it is aot to be antieipated that all mines can be supplied with ears to tbs full eormal extent" OTHER COMPANIES GIVEN AUTHORITY TO OPERATE Atlanta.

T North Carolina Delegation In Congress Have No. Doubt About The Outcdme REPUBLICANS MODIFY THEIR ELECTION CLAIM National Committee Now De clares It Has Fighting Chance For Morehead Vic tory: Congressman Small Will Represent Public and No Faction, He Writes The News and Observer Rure.au, 03 District National Bnnk Bldg. By FRANK W. LEWIS. (By Bpecial Leased Wire.) Washington, D. C, Dec. 10. Intense Interest is manifested here by both Democrats snd Republicans in the Con gressional eontest In the Ninth district of North Carolina, the district which is popularly known aa Webb's. While the Republicans claim they have a good chance to carry that elec tion, they are not now as confident as they were at the stnrt, for at first they said they were certain to elect a Repub. liean. The Republican National Com mittee, in a moment of unguarded en thuaiasia, made tho announcement that it was all over but the shouting, but in a subsequent statement they took hack some of that extravagant claim, sffd put one out in modified form, making the elaim that while the district was un doubtedly Republican, there was a chance for them to lose because the election machinery was in the handa of the Democratic politicians. Thev ei dently intended to leave the impression that the Democratic-controlled machin ery would reverae the real aentiment of tne district by securing, through ma nipulation, the election of the Demo crats nominee. Tar Heel Delegation CamUmmt The Democrats here, oa the other hand have not indulged in any such inslnua. tions about Republicans, but have ex pected that there would be . fair elec tion, and have expressed eonfidanca In Hoey's ability to win. At the opening of tne campaign there seemed to be con siderable apprehension among the Demo crats ss to the result, but owing to a bet ter understanding of the s.Uuation they are now sanguine. In conversation with both the Sena tors and ths Representatives from North Carolina it bss been found that they are nil ot one way ot thinking about situation in the Ninth. They speak with assurance that the Democratic nominee will be elected by a safe majority. They say that all that there was needed for the Democrats to -win in this eontest was for ths people to become aroused snd turn out at the polls; that they have undoubtedly become aroused, and now it is naturally assumed thst they will turn out and vote. Small Explains Position. G. D. Rosser, president of the A. C, Federation, Wilmington, N. C, has ad dressed a protest from his crganisation against the passage of the Cummins railroad bill to the North Carolina con- gressionsl delegation .and along with this bss urged the passage or the Flumb bill.

I note your protest agninst the paasnge of the railroad bill pending in the Senate, known as the Cummins bill. and I further note your requeat that I support what Is known as the Plumb plan for government ownership of tbs railroads.
