WaKliington. Jan. 31. The storm over
tho-adiniuiiilxatfon of the Internal Rev
enue work in North Carolina, fore-
shadowed in this correspondence last
night, gave promise today of developing
""
royal battle between the North
Carolina Senators and Internal Revenue
Collector Roper before the end of so '
oilier week.
Renninr Simmons concurred in a stale
mcnt given to this correspondent by
Heuator Overman this afternoon netting
forth the latest complaint the Tar Heel
j Menntors ha e against the Commissioner.
i
It ia that Mr. Roper, eonvineed that
there is no man now connected with the
Revenue Depurtuient in North Carolina
I iiinllf)cd to succeed Colonel Watts ns
' Kupcrvisor. has threatened to send into
'North Carolina an out of stato man lo
charge of the work and re or-
ze the deniirtment.
! IMtasiion Mora Muddled.
This man. Captain Boyd, of Ken-
j lucky, would be sent Into North Caro-
Una temporarily, the commissioner has
advised Kenntor Overman, pending
further consiifeniiUin at the Department
of tha matter of appointing either an.
other supervisor or reestablishing the
collector's office in- the Western I)U
triet.
The situation, rather than clearing
any, Is" gettiug More and more tanddled
and ns a eoaeequenre of the latest turn
tha two Senators this afternoon drafted
i protest to Commlssioiier
"wpeff and asked that he be kind enough
to postpone 'any further action in tha
matter until the latter part of next
week, st which time they have naked for
an audience in order that they amy
have a show-down. '
The determination of the foiiimm-
I ioner to send a "foreigner" into North
) Carolina waa reached after he received
'" report from an inspector sent into.
j North Carolina to make an Investi-.
j gntion.
No Attack on Bailey
The administration at . Raleigh was
not attacked nor has it at any time
been under lire. Bo far as the Senator
are informed, Mr. Bailey's office is
functioning in flrst class shape but thti
trouble is outside Mr. Bailey's juris
diction. It appears today, after a thorough
, eanvass of the situation, that rJheriif,
