Representatives to the State to which
it is entitled by its great growth in
population since the 1910 census. And
U.'iu-rnl Carr expects his friends to

across.
. Rumors havo been reaching Washing

to enter the contest for Congress if
the additional member was awarded
to North Carolina with its feature of
nossiblo political citizenship in Wash

''Yes, I am a candidate' he replied.

Too Young To Retire.

I have led such a atrenuoua life, I

And nothing would afford me: greater
pleasure than to be associated with the

men who so fitly sad faithfully repse

my personal friends.. What I don't

men would take pleasure in telling me.
Yes, tell the boys that my hat is in the

Daniels Tells How Black War

What became of the lost Black plan
still a mystery. Made out . by the
general board, guarded with the great
eat care, handled by the proper author
ities, it waa earned Into- effect and
then it vaniahed utterly. ,
The discovery that one of our secret
naval plans was missing came when it
was too late to have any effect on the
aituation. But that did not prevent , the
newspapers - making the most of the
sensation, especially such as, for politi
cal reasons, had - it in for the navy
department.- . t - -
They would never have 'heard it was
missing, nor would we have, known it
waa missing, had we not : looked .it up
for the purpose of proving to certain
clamorous critics that we had not gone
to war without plans. . Long sgo it
had served -its-purpose as a plan, and,
aa we supposed, had ' been- filed awsy
with' thousands of 'other documents for
purposes c-f -record.' But there we "were
wrong. . The. plan ,had ' not been filed
away, nor eould any trace of if be
found. Te this day it has' not been
found. ..'".' v
And it waa aa important plan at the
time it was used. It waa a plaa of vital
importance.

Washington, May . Biaing to a ques

eaa, Massachusetts, threw tho House
into aa uproar today over a demaad for
immediate eonslderatioa of a resolution
affecting the rights of negro voters in
toe south. .
Tho battle, mainly along parlia
mentary lines, raged for two hours, but
Mondell, the Bcpublican leader. Still
determined to press the fight, Mr. Tink
ham appealed from Speaker Gillett's
decision sustaining the point of order,
but the House stood by its Speaker, 283
to 46. ,
The Tinkhsm resolution. substantially
the same as that presented during con
sideration of the reapportionment bill
at' the last session, had been expected
and Democrats were ready to jump into
the fray. The Bcpublican leader went
to the front, however, and won tho day
alone.
Wanted Diligent Iaaalry.
As framed by the Massachusetts
member the resolution would have
directed' the eensus committee to pro
ceed forthwith to make diligent in
quiry respecting the extent to which
the right to vote is denied or abridged
to citizens of the United States, prior
to preparation of a bill for reapportion
ment of the House.
Ia the course of a long argument
Mr. Tinkham declared the resolution
was in order shead of all business, that
the same measure offered before never
was reported out by committee aad
that if referred again it would meet
the same fate.
He demanded immediate action, a

for a refund of income taxes from the

The committee will report favorably,

The income tax refund matter, com'

This wss done before Davo Blair was

As the Scnaate committee is to meet

by the committee. Senator Hiram will
be there to tell the committee of his

from the Treasury Depsrtment with

questioned as to the partnership of
Mr. Cannon his daughters and other
relatives, particularly as to kis daugh

hare in the refund of some $800,000
from the government that Mr. Cannon

Senator Johnson is not idle these days.
He is combing everywhere thst is pos
sible inquiring into the activities of Mr.
Blsir, of Mr. Cannon and the various
interests he holds sre bsrU of the Blair
appointment. I have it straight that it
is not alone the Csnnon tax refund
claim that he is having investigated, but
he is sesrehing for information which
would link Mr. Blair with tobacco, fer
tilizer and lumber interests, there be

these are involved. Senator Johnson
proposes to make the investigstion s

The only Democrat to break in dur

fcI want to vote with him' but if he
talks too long, he may lose a vote,"
Mr. flallivan shouted, and the House
roared. i

Bepreseatative Garrett, of Tennes

recognition aa Mr. Mondall .concluded
his answering argument but Speaker
Gillett said he was ready to rale. Thia
was accepted as conclusive even befeee
the Spesker began thai Jong statement,
that the Tinkham plan had failed.
It was largely en demand of Mr. Gar

rather than on a substitute by Mr.
Mondell to tat le the Tinkham appeal.
This settled the issue definitely so
far as action at thia session goes. Mem

ably would stand longer than the life

Mr. Mondall, in quoting authorities
recalled that a Republican House 20
