Tie News snd Observer Burem, v- 603 District National. Bank Bldg.. By EDWARD E. BRltTON (By Special Leased "Wire) Washington, May 17. The nomina tion of Dave Blair to be Commissioner of Internal Bevenue went "over the top' thin morning in to far as the action of the Senate finance committee could get it ont of the trenches. Ht has yet to run .the fire of the Johnson sharpshooters when it reaches the floor of the Senate, which in all probability will be tomorrow. Under the rule the favorable report of the committee could not come up for action, the require ment being that it lay over one day. If the Senate goes into executive ses sion tomorrow, the Blair nomination will come up in the usual order, but the anal order will cease then, for Sena tor Hiram Johnson iato set off some firework when he hears the name of "David H. Blair called. That he will be overwhelmed the California Ben tor knows, but he is going to have his say in the matter, and he calculates that . there will be quite a respectable num ber of votes east with hif for a denial of confirmation to Mr. Blair. Mellon Calls for Confirmation There was not a full attendance at the meeting of the Senate finance com mittee' this morning, only nine or ten were reported presented, and there was ae record vote taken when the motion was for m favorable veto en the Blair nomination. So far as I 'can learn there was bat one voice beard to say "no" after there bad been the call for the "ayes' with seemingly the entire committee voting "aye. ' . It is under stood that' the solitary no came from Senator LaFoIlette, for from the in tention of the ontest LaFoIlette has stood by Senaotr Johnson in his fight- When the favorable report on the nomi nation reaches the Senate it is expected that Senator Johnson will get speaking and voting aid from Senator LaFoIlette, Senator Borah, Senator Pat Harrison, and Senator James Berd, the latter two Democrats. SenatorV Harrison will have some words to saylsoeon,cierning the need to do away with secret ses sions on nominations and for "open covenants openly arrived at," Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is calling for the confirmation, as under the law he has to perform the duties of Commissioner of Internal Revenue pending the induction into office of a commissioner, as there has been an acting commissioner oh the job for 30 days, and that is the limit for a tem porary appointment. For this reason alone it appears that there will be no further delay in the confirmation of the nomination of Dave Blair. That nomination has had a hard road to travel, and it is to have a further verbal jolting when Senator Johnson expresses his views on the floor of the Senate concerning the "traitors who failed to obey the primary returns of North Carolina and vote for him as the nominee of the Republican national convention. If the mind of the Cali fornian does not change before the Blair nomination reaches the Senate thers will be a reglnar Johnson-esque flow of language that wijl be meant to flow as lava over those who failed to do as he holds they were ordered to do by the law. Tar Heel Vote at Convention I do not think that there has been given during this contest between the Harding administration and Senator Johnson a statement of the votes on the Presidential nomination of the North Carolina delegation at the Re publican National convention, so here they are: first ballot: Twenty-one votes east tor Judge Jeter Pritchard, for whom the delegation had been instructed by the Republican State convention. Af ter that ballot the delegation split, and dropped him entirely on the third one vote for Hiram Johnson, said to (Coatiaaed en Page Two.) FOR US BOYS."

APPOINTMENT Condition of Aged Jurist Reported to be Precarious Chief Justice White Suffers Relapse Following Operation In Washington Hospital, And Is Critically 111; Attending Surgeons Say Operation Was of a Minor Nature Washington, May 17. Chief Justice While, of the Unitel States Supreme Court, is not expected to live througth the night, his physicians said late this evening. "His spulse is weak and his heart is bad,'' Dr. Francis B. Hagner ssid after a visit to the bedside at Gar field Hospital. "He probably will not survive the night." The Chief Justiee submitted to an operation for bladder trouble last Fri day and had improved steadily until late today when he suffered a relapse. Dr. Hagner said that the patient's temperature was normal until 3 o'clock this afternoon, when he suffered a chill and then declined rapidly. Late to night he lapsed into unconsciousness. For four months he had been unwell, the doctor said, but he refused to leave his work, saying that it was important and if necessary he would die rather then stop for treatment. The Chief Justiee, who is 76 years of age, had always been in rugged health, except for a slight impairment of vision which had troubled him for "LIKKERED" CANDY JOKE SAYS ALLEN Analysis of Sweets Sent Over From Charlotte Finds It Harmless Hopes of the wet-minded and fears of the dry-minded that a way had been found of fetching spirits into the State embodied and concealed in harmless looking lemon drops died a death yes terday when State Chemist Allen ap plied the tests to suspected candy sent here by the school suthorities in Char lotte. Not a trace of alcohol, was his verdict when he had exhausted 111 known scientific means of finding out what s in a thing. Considerable commotion was aroused by the candy when it appeared in a Charlotte school two weeks ago, and tiie eaters thereof, . all of thorn grammar- grade oebool children, became drunk. Investigation of a most; sweeping na tnre was instituted, tad ths sandy traced to the father ef the child who had brought it to school. The father had brought it from Chicago when he returned from a recent trip to the Windy City. School officials were sure the candy had liquor in it, that they had disco v ered a well laid plot to thwart the Vol stead Act. The children who had eaten it were undeniably intoxicated, and by a simple process of reasoning the eandy was what made them drunk. They col lected all of the extant supply of it and sent it to the State Laboratory. It didn't belong there and was forwarded to the food analysis branch of the Department of. Agriculture. Mr. Allen was skeptical from the be ginning. As a chemist he was unable to see how a crystallized eandy could contain any form of alcohol, which is not soluble with sugar. He was willing to assume that there was nothing in the eandy but candy, recognizing a remote possibility that there was some form of opiate in it. Neither liquor nor opiate was found, and the question now recurs to the original commotion What made the Charlotte school chil dren drunk f" RAILWAYS AT HIGHEST POINT OF EFFICIENCY Daniel Willard Declares PL nancial Problem Still Mast Be Solred Washington, May 17. In point of ef ficiency. American railroads have at this time reached the highest mark in their history, Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio, testified to day in concluding his direct statement on the railroad' situation before a Senate investigating committee. Last year, he added, they were at their lowest point. The financial problem etill exists, Mr. Willard said, but he contended through explanation of ststistical studies which ho submitted to the committee that the expenses of railroad opera tion had increased in recent years until during the last twelve months they had tended to ' exceed the sum total' of revenues from the highest scale of transportation charges ever allowed. The excess expenses, Mr. Willard's studies indicated, had arisen very larecly from the increases in labor eosts and wage scales. "In comparing 1920 with lP-lo," he said in explaining ons table, "we find that the total hours of labor worked on American railroads increased i i-s per cent, but that the total payrolls in creased 151 per cent." Mr. Willard tomorrow will be ex amined by Senators on the investigating committee and will be succeeded on the stand by A. H. Smith, of the New York Central. HARDING TO CONFER , ON PEACE RESOLOTION Washington? May 17. President Harding will confer at the Wh a House Thursday with Chairman Porter, of the House foreign, affairs committee, on the peace resolution situation in the House. In making this announcement, Mr. Porter aeid no action would be taken by his committee on ths question until after the conference. A number of iBe publican leaders in ths Henso expressed the- opinion today that the House wonld take up the peace resolution before ths end of the week. several years. He was a well-known figure about the capital, a he. enjoyed walking and was to be seen frequently among the crowds on the streets. Although recently there have been re ports current that hs contemplated re signing, no word from him supported them, but in fact gave quite the op posite impression. Several weeks ago he was sbsent from the bench for a period of six weeks With a severe cold, but returned to his duties in apparent ly as good health as ever. On May 2 he delivered a vigorous dissenting opinion in the Newberry case with his old-time force.

He served in the United States Senate three years before he was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Cleveland in 1894. SAPIRO SPEAKSTO F California Marketing Organiza tion Expert Brings Encour aging Report Winston-Salem, . May 17. Aaron Sapiro, of California Co-operative, spoke here today for the second timet to North Carolina tobacco growers. ' He spoke at Greensboro this morning, com ing into the State from Virginia, where he reports eight thousand farmers signed as members of the tobacco grow ers association, with about eight thous and in prospect for the next few days in Halifax and Pittsylvania counties. Two-thirds or' mors of the Virginia growers are already signed up. Mr. Sapiro was heard here today by about three hundred grower, and fol lowing .the address a meeting of the local Farm Bureau decided to get back of ths movement and aid in putting it across in this section. , Large delega tions were here front Iredell and other adjoining eounties. Other attendants were Dr. Clarence Poo, of Raleigh, and district Farm Agent B. E. Milsaps. Cities Are Prosperous The speaker declared that here as formerly in California the cities are prosperous while the rural sections are impoverished because of speculation in the principal crops. It is useless to try to develop a community while con ditions compel four out of five heads of families in the rural sections to live meagrely from hand to mouth, he ex plained. He urged co-operative market ing as the solution of the problem. The plan is that of the California prune, orange, pear, and bean growers asso ciations. It is planned that the Caro lina-Virginia tobacco growers associa tion shall begin business when farmers controlling fifty per cent of the acre age have signed the association's eon- tract. That contract is sn agreement to pool their crop with the association. which shall control bylease or contract the tobacco warehouse, where the grower deposits his crop to be graded and marketed by the association direct to the manufacturer, exporter or dealer at a price for each grade to be fixed by the association. The elimination of the speculation of warehouse auction, which has de Veloped into exploiting the producer, is the purpose qf the organization,' de clared Mr. fy ro. rnbllc to Be Represented The movement calls for the publie to be represented on the board of di rectors. In California, he said, the bankers, merchants, and -publie gen erally co-operate to the fullest with the growers' organizations. A meeting of bankers of the three States is to be called soon to discuss the matter, and likewise the warehouse men and business men are to urged to encourage the movement. The wars- houseman, he said, is in ths' same posi tion as the grower, for be has nothing to say as to the price. The organization can use the warehousemen, and the warehousemen, big men and wise busi ness men as they are, ean easily see that they need, the organization of the grower back of them. The pooling of the crop, grading and marketing direct to the manufacturer and storing until there is a demand, was pointed out as the salvation of the owner, who is today plastered all over with mortgages and struggling for ex istence. Tobacco is a better product than any thing in California because it has a uni versal market and is not perishable. New York bankers, he declared, cannot understand why the tobacco and cotton g.owers of the South do not pursue the same course ss the California growers, in stabilizing their product, which is by far superior as a collateral in the finan cial world.

The United States Railroad Labor Board announced late today that it had decided that "pre vailing conditions justify to an extent, yet to be determined, a readjustment downward of the wages of the employes of the carriers which are parties to the dispute already heard by ths board." The announcement, which affecis la bor on practically every road in the country, was entirely unexpected, as the board only began formal consider ation of the case yesterday. The board declared it would hand down its final decision in all wage dis putes docketed prior to April 18 on June 1, to be effective July 1. Disputes filed since April 18 will be beard on June 8, "it being the purpose of the board to make its decision of the disputes beard June It effective on July 1." The railroads completed tbeir evi dence May 7, and yesterday B. M. Jew ell, president of the Railway Employes' Department of the American Federa tion of Labor, filed the employes' final statement Text of Announcement. The text of the board's announce ment follows: "Whereas, under date of April sixth, 1921, the United States Railroad La bor Board adopted a resolution which recited, among other things, that in the Judgment of ths board it is de sirable to hear at one time and decide in one tleeisiou, as far as may bo pos sible, the Question as to what may con stitute just and reasonable wages for all classes of employes of carriers parties to decision No. Two as to whose wages there may bs disputes; and, "Whereas, the board has now heard the evidence and arguments of both parties to all such disputes which were filed and docketed prior to April 18, 1921, but since aaid date a large number of applications for decisions on similar disputes have been filed and there are reasonable grounds to be lieve that still other such applications are about to be filed; and, "Whereas, the Railroad Labor Board has' this day, by formal resolution, de clar'ed that, in its judgment, based npon the evidence before it in the dis putes already heard, prevailing con ditions justify to some extent, yet to be determined, a readjustment down ward of the wages of the employes of the earners whieh are parties to the disputes already heard by the labor board t Therefore be it resolved: "(1) That this board wlU on Jane first, 1921, announce its decision, cot ering the disputes as to wages between carriers snd their employes, which have been heretofore heard by the board, to become effective July 1, 1921. "(2) That Monday, June sixth, 1921, be set as the date when this board will hear the representatives of the parties to disputes filed since April 18, 1921, or which may yet be filed and docketed prior to June aiith, it being the purpose of the Railroad Labor Board to make its decision of the dis putes heard June six, 1921, effective July 1, 1921." Hits Unskilled Men. The board announced the revising downward of the wages would affect more than 1,000,000 unskilled rail workers, effective July first. The amount of the decrease will be made publie June first. On July 20, 1920, the board rendered increasing the pay of all elassea of railway employes approximately 21 per eent or about $000,000,000 a year. several months ago several roads an nounced reductions averaging about 20 per eent for unskilled employes. The workers appealed to the board, which decided that the roads conld not make summary reductions, but must first hold conferences with their men. Practically every large road in the country then held conferences with its unskilled employes regarding reductions and when the employes refused to ac cept cuts, earried the ease to the board. The roads pleaded that they were being forced to pay mors for labor than they eould employ it for in the open market; that reduction in the cost of living justifies a similar reduction in wages; that they were being forced to operate in many cases at a loss, r. d that they wished to reduce their rates for the benefit of the public, but eould not do eo while forced to psy a war time scale to labor. The employes ebarged that the financial embarrassment of ths roads was due to gross mismanagement; that increased rentals had practically nulli fied any decreases in other necessities; and that the wages 'in other necessities; were still below those paid in othtr lines of Industry.

Except the Atlanta convention in 1919 when the $75.000 .000. campaign was pro jected, the session that closed at noon today was marked by the transaction of more business relative to the future program of the denomination than al most any other, in the opinion fo the officials of the body. Baslaees Transacted.

Memorial Service. The final session todav was ocenrjied chiefly with a memorial service honor ing J. J. Darlington, of Washington, vice president of the convention in 1910, and Dr. 8. Y. James, of Atlanta, Vice president in 1919, who died recently. Former United States Senator Newell 8anders, of Tennessee, was added to the commission on social service. Total enrollment of messengers for the session was 5,340. Practically the whole of the last ses sion of the convention, which adjourned finally at noon, was devoted to the memorial services, and a consideration of the denominational papers. An unusual incident marked the final honr of the proceedings when the body arose and applauded the Bev. J. O. Booth, I).

T. Harris, sentenced to death in Buncombe eonnty euperior eourt last November for the murder of F. W. Monnlah in September, the Stato Supremo Court yesterday issued a writ of certiorari against Judgo B. F. Lonir, from whose jurisdiction the action comes to tho higher court, directing him to produce the record of tho argument at the trial. Variance of aasertion between the prosecnting and defending attorneys ss to which counsel mads use of the declaration that "'this defendant has been tried, convicted and sentenced to death by his own wife" moved the higher court to have the presiding judge bring in the record fur the purpose of establishing the contention. The writ is answerable at tho earliest conveni ence of Judge Long. Exceptions A r rued Exception to tho excusing of a prose cuting witness before the dofense had cross examined him, and exception to allusion to the fact that the defendant's wife had not attended the trial or tea tided in argument of counsel when al lusion to her absence was excluded from the record of the ease were the main foundation of the argument before the Supreme Court yesterday. Mark Brown and Assistant Attorney General Frank Nash presented the ease for the State and ex-Judge Thomas A. Jones and ex Judge Frank Carter represented Harria.
