Everybody is pleased. " For a fact, pleasure has been the word sinco the first drift of the No bility toward Raleigh started, and yes- tirdny morning after the ball at the city auditorium the night before, ceremonial visitors began a pre ,a that did not rod until the early hours of this morn in if. The business meeting of the Temple, vith Potentate W. R. Smith, of Raleigh presiding, took place yeaterday morn ing at 10:30 and was the occasion of the presentation of Part Potentate lezzcs to A. B. Andrews, the first Po tentate of Sudan Temple: W. K. French, of Wilmington, and J. C. Braswell, of Whitakers. Parada la Tha Thing. But the event of the day, so far as tha spectators wen concerned at least, was the piride. For once, Fayetteville street was kept absolutely cleared of tiaffic, and with roped off sidewalks botb the parade and the spectators had fair play. Thousands lined the street, banking solidly around the Capitol Square, in windows and every other available space that offered vantage Doint. The long line of candidates, clad in . their usual dress, by way of atrikiag . contrast to past ceremonials, waa prob ably tha outstanding feature af tha parade. .... . . -vvf-- Heretofore, from tha' spectators' standpoint, tha treatment of tha candi dates in the parada has been tha draw ing card. Yesterday tha candidates marched in a body, mora than two hundred of them, and the nearest ap proach to indignity imposed npon them was John Goat Allen's Klaxon Kart, which followed their section with a ran aons din. Altogether, tha treatment of the Shriners in the parade and on the itreets yesterday drew from Potentate W. R. Smith the declaration that the ceremonial in Raleigh, probably more nearly complied with the requirements of Imperial law than any ceremonial in the history of Sudan Temple. Attractions Enough. But there were attractions enough, in addition to the candidates. There were half dozen bands and the Sudan drum corps scattered along the line of march, which extended up Fayetteville street, around the Capitol and back down to the city auditorium. By the time the last section of the parade had passed the Wnke County court house, tha first had circled the Capitol and was passing the court house for the second time. Attractive floats were not lacking but Done were more original than that of 'he Garner Shrine Club. An immense truck while alongside him walked a in front with these words: Garner Shrine Club. .

The Washington Shrine Club had a , big section of the parada all to itself with two floats, both inviting the Shriners to hold their 1923 ceremonial ia that city. One waa a truck loaded preceded by' oriental music makers and bearing a dancer of the same type and masculine gender, while streamers on the s'de of the truck read: "Fatima invites you to .Washington in 1923." Tha other float was a colonial tab lean representative of the Washington period. Between the two floats were the Washington Shriners in long marching order, while behind tha last rode the President of the Washington Shrine Club in a chariot drawn by hand. An enormous floral float, a mound of flowers surmounted by a Cross of Crim son Rambler Roses, with tha word "Wilson" spelled out on the aide In yellow and white daisies on a plat of gatax leaves; It waa strikingly beauti ful piece of deeorative work and drew cheers from tha spectators as it pro ceeded up tha street.

Observer Bureau, 603 District National Bank Bldg, By EDWARD E. BRITTON. (By Special Leased Wire.) Washington, May 19. Things ire at a standstill here today in any action by the Senate or sub-committee on either the Dave Blair confirmation or the Frank Linney investigation. The Senate had no executive session, and hence tha Blair ease is still hanging in the air. This does not mean that there is now any danger that Blair will not be eenfirmed, the only wait being for an executive session of time enough for Senator Johnson and those who sUnd with him against Blair to have their day of speech-making against confirmation of hia nomination for commissioner of internal revenne. It is the feeling -here that the ad ministration ia thoradghly convinced that the Blair matter : all to tha good, this being emphasized' by tha state mcnt from Attorney General Daugh erty that Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., of Virginia, is to be judge of the Fourth circuit court of appeals. If Blair bad lost out, then it is tha feel ing that Judge W. P. Bynum would have been named by tha President as successor to Judga Pritchard as a sort of consolation prize to North Car olinar Republicans on the loss of the position of commissioner of internal revenue. The first time there is an executive session of the Senate of any length Blair will go over tha top. Lianey Ia Washington. And as to the firebrand ease of Frank Linney and tha Republicans of the tab North Carolina, "watchful waiting' teems now to be the policy of both Linney an dthe Republicans of the tub-1 committee 01 the .senate judiciaryi committee to which has been referred tha protest! of tha negroes against tha eoafinsiatioa of Ltnnsy to tha po- attio . e.

But Lib ney is at work putting up hia defense line. He promises a statement tomor row. That there is something going on is evident if all signs are not to be d- misscd. It would appear that with Linney on the ground the sub-commit- tea would get busy and let him have a chance to have hia way. But Sena tor Ernst, Kentucky, Republican, chair man of the subcommittee, says that he does not know when the sub-eomit mittee will meet to take up the inves tigation. Tha other members are Senator Cummins of Iowa, Republican, and Senator Lee 8. Overman, of North Carolina, tha Democrat who saved Ro publican State Chairman Frank lin ney, from a summary lynching at the hands of the Republicans of the Senate judiciary committee. Senators Overman and Cummins must wait the call or Chairman Ernst before the sub-com mittee geta into session and the latest word from Senator Ernst is that no date has been fixed for a hearing oa the matter. So linney haa time for preparation. Exolanatioa Doeaa t Explain. This morning Mr. Linney made hit appearance in the office of Senator Overman, reported he was nere lor tne hearing, and thanked the North Caro lina Senator for aaving hit neck, though he did not put it in those words, then he rent to see Republican mem bers of the Senate. As to what will be hit attitude before the eub-eommittee he declines yet to give out. But there it a story with a curious twist going tha rounds, to-wit: That A. a. iioiton and Colonel Ike Hoekins, charged ty Gilliam Grissom with the actual issuing of the now famous I on ney circular letters to 4ha womea of North Carolina which Grlssom knew about, will say that this waa done with the idea of offsetting a story said to have bee i whsiriered around concerning senator Harding's ancestry, its intent being to thow that there was no idea or rallying tha negro vote to the Republi can itandard oa thia ancestry dusi necz. Certainly it wat a euriout way in which to co about the matter, ana eaually certain it it that a eareful read ing of the Linney circular letter bears no earmarks that would indicate tne ancestry affair wat at all in it. If there it any truth in the rumor, then Linney it hard put to it to mike ex planation of the matter. Former Senator Marion Butler, how ever, in the course ox his restart printed this morning in this correspond enee, says of the Linney circular letter that while he will hot say that its word ing was wise or tactful, but that he doea say that "under the conditions, which arose at the elosa of the last cam paign, its purpose wat honest and patri otic" and defends tba circular further ia these words: Batlcr Defeada Letter. It was an emergency attempt to kill a falsa and cruel charge against tha Republieaa party and alto a tlaa- der against tha intelligence and patri otism of tha colored race." This lan guage of former Senator Butler, its wording, would bear out tha credibility (Coatlaaed aa Pag Two.)

Mr. Sapira started hia address at the city hall and continued it a few minutes later at the local theater, where every seat was taken ineludinr the ral lerics and growers were still left stand ing. Delegation! of growers were pre sent from all near-by eountict includ ing large delegation! from Lenoir, ureene and Wayne. Not a New Moveaemt 'It isn't a new movement,' declared Mr. uapiro, but it ia a proved move ment, and hat behind it 60 yeart of experience in Europe and 29 yeart of success in California. It is a move ment which docs not depend on poli ticians and his nothing to do with poli tics." He told how in California co-operative marketing of farm products en lists the. support of all elements of the public, bankers, merchants and lawyers assisting the growers in their organi aation work. '"In California, we eon- aider a community a failure unless three out of the four growers are mak ing money in that eofflaranity." Mr. Saplro contrasted conditions in the rest of the United States whore, with the single exception of California nine out of every ten farmers .are about broke today. He laid that not more than two per cent of the onranized s-rowera In California have to borrow money to make their crops, and stated that after tne tobacco s-rowera get their associa tions for marketing cotton and tobacco in operation this eonntry will not be plastered with crop mortgages. Salts Any Commodity ""We have worked out a technique of co-operative marketing in California which will suit any commodity,' con tinued Mr. Sapiro, who pointed out that both cotton and tobacco were in uni versal demand and that their handling ana nnanetng eould be done with greater ease than- in the esse of dried fruits such at raisins and peaches. In response to doubters he answered all questions to the satisfaction of every one and explained how the associations would be financed and the cotton and tobacco merchandized after the mini mum amount of the production had been igned up under the five year tgree- ments. ' At the close of Mr. Saniro'a address. Mr. L. S. Tomlinaon, of Wilson, told how he wat backing the movement as a merchant and how all businexs men should support it. Dr. B. W. Kilgore and A. W.

Harding Attribatca The outstanding attribute of Presi dent Harding, Mr. Harvey said, are breadth of vision, greatness of heart, fidelity to his race no less than to his elan, and no more to his family than to hit ancestry, drawn from all parts of the United Kingdom. Mr. Haprey declared these were sufficient indica tions and reasons why Mr. Harding felt in the very fibre of his being at this critical period that friendliness and good will should exist always between the people of the great English-speaking nations and why he now pledges un faltering cooperation in achieving that aspiration. Nothing could be more futile, more de lusive and more mischievous, he said. thsn to pretend that the Americans proffer of a helping hand was attribu table primarily to "a tender suscepti bility. BODY OF CITIZEN OF LEXINGTON IS FOUND Lexington, May 19. When a youth early thia morning went to tend his fish hooks on the banks of the Yadkin river about 13 miles southwest of this city, he found a body floating on the water, which proved to be that of John Hill, former citizen of this tty, who disappeared Thursday morning of last week. The body was brought here sn-1 a coroner s inquest held, the verdict bo ing death by drowning. Hill, who was about 65 years old, was aaid to have suffered from spells of mental aberration during the past few years. Lan Wednesday af tern on he left his home, some ten miles from Lexington, and is said to have declared he would not come back. He spent the night with a friend at Yadkin and was seen early next morniug near the south end of the toll bridge. The spot where his body was found was about two miles downstream from the brnfe. Pieces of iron were in the pockets of the deceased. Two empty poeketbooks were on the body along with $1.21 in eoin, but a large wallet he is said to have possessed has not been located. In view of the fact that there were several hold ups just west of the river last week, foul play was at first suspected, though sui cide seems moat probable. .

Tha proceed ing! today ia the naming of a successor to tha late Judge Pritchard for tha Court of Appeals confirmed my exclu sive statement of yesterday concerning Judge Waddill, of Virginia, for be waa named today aa tha choice of Attorney General 'Daugherty. Since 1893 Judgo Waddill hat been the United 8 totes dis trlet judga for the eastern district of Virgiina and oa Sunday ha will be M yeart old, having been bora in Virginia oa May zg, 1855. Attorney General Daugherty told the North Carolina delegation backing Judge W. P. Bynum that he desired to put young men on tha Federal bench. so as to get longer yeart of service, but he evidently had change of heart at to Judga Waddill. Presidont Taft, it will be remembereed set the age limit for the judges ho named as 60 yart, and with the talk now going on that he may possibly be named by President Harding the statement that be will be 64 years old in September it placed against him, D. Lawrence Groner.fi of Norfolk, waa recommended by Mr. Daugherty for appointment at judfe of the Fed eral district court for the eastern dis trict of Virginia to suecccd Judge Wad dill. "As soon as Judge Waddill it eon firmed'' Mr. Daugherty 'said, "and has assumed the duties of viis office, I havo no doubt Mr. Groncr wilt be appointed by the President and anticipate no particular delay in his confirmation. This ia desirable in order that the business of the district may proceed without interruption. Mr. Gronor has had experience n District Attorney under a former administration and is now the district attorn jy, serving to fill a vacancy. He is 48 years old and sustains a high reputation for judicial qualifications, as a lawyer and aa a eitizen. "Mr. Groner's successor has not yet been determined upon, hut an appoint ment will be made shortly. Recognition of Service "The candidates for circuit judge in the Fourth circuit were all men of high character and qualifications. The ap pointment of Judge Waddill is recog nition of his remarkable service as dis trict judge. The fourth circuit has in it mora admiralty litigation than any other district ouside of New York. It is quiet necessary that a judge well experienced and versed in admiratly law should he appointed in that circuit. Of course I recognize thst the judges now on that circuit arc familiar with nil of these questions, but Judge Waddill's service and special qualifications along that particular line were given con sideration by the department in recom mending his appointment. It is the policy of this Department in the appointment of district attor neys to expect them to take care of a greater amount of public business than they have been giving their attention to heretofore in many places, in order that fewer special attorneys may be required and the expense nf the depart ment of justice nn that account 'may be reduced."

Conaor yester day granted an injunction against the municipal- authorities of Baleigh, res training them from issuing bonds and levying a tax under the provisions of the invalid act. This is a test case agreed upon by the executive committee of the North Carolina Muneipal association. Appeal was entered by the defendsut municipal officials and the cause will be taken to the Supreme Court and heard by special order next Wednesday morning. Upon the decision of tho higher court will be determined the status of North Carolina cities at to finances, whether th new lew is'opera tive despite the defective journal entry, or whether the cities of tha State wUl be forced back on tha provisions. Brought ay Agreement The injunction suit waa brought by agreement after the executive com mittee of the Municipal Officers As sociation had determined to test the validity of the questioned act. An ordi nance waa passed by the Raleigh Com missioners authorizing the issue of (1, 400,000 sewer bonds, with a tax of $1.00 oa the 1100 property valuation. Suit waa instituted in Superior Court by Daniel Allen to restrain the city authorities. The ease waa argued be fore Judga Conner yesterday. John Hinsdale, Jr. appeared for the city, and W. B. Snow as counsel fox the plain tiff. Tha Municipal Finance Aet of 1917, amended la 1019 becomes the law under which the cities of the State must conduct their finances, according to tha finding! of Judge Conner. The Munich pal nnanea Act of tha Hpecial Hessioa of 1930 it held ta be applicable only to the rear 1920. Under tha 1917-19 Municipal Finance Aft, bo municipality ia allowed to issue bonds for. more than ten per cent of its averaga property assessments for three years past, or that ia for the average assessment of 1917, 1918 and 1919 and under the 1919 amendments, no municipality may collect more than ten per cent in excess of the taxes levied and collected in 1919. Makes Debt Taa Big Baleigh's total debt, including the $1,400,000, in bonds issued under tho questioned ordinance would be 2,752, UM6.43 which is held to be more than ton per cent of the average assessments for threa yeart prior to 1919. Tho court finds that ten per cent on the present property valuation of the eity will be in excess of the taxes levied and col lceted ia 1919. The questioned act is not wholly in valid, containing as it does provisions that are not applicable to the taxing power, and under the constitution, not requiring a roll call vote. Section 3 repealing all of the Special Session aet except Sections 2, 3 and 6, ia considered valid, and the sections not repealed are held to apply only to tha past year. In effect the entire law is held valid. and applying present property values the ordinance against which injunction is sought, is inoperative under the 1919 amendments to the finance act. Finding! la Law Upon the findings of fact, the Court ordored the following conclusions of law: '1. That the Municipal Finance Act of 1921 is invalid in so far as the taxing provisions thereof nro concerned, in that upon its third reading in the Hen nto the ayes and nnys were not en tcred upon the Journnl. 2. That the Municipnf Finance Act of 1917 as amended by Chapter 178 of Public Laws of 1019 and aa further limited by section 3 of Chapter 84 of the Public Lews of 1911) is the Law governing the financing of municipali ties of the State of North Carolina, '3. That the ordinance providing for the levy of a tax of 1.00 on the 100.00 valuation levied by the City of Kalcigh for general purposes is invalid in that it will produce a revenue greater by more than 10 per cent than the revenue produced in 1019. ''4. That' the ordinance authorizing the issuance of $1,400,000.00 of sewer bonds in invalid in that it increases tba not debt of the City of Raleigh to an amount greater than 10 per rent of the average of the assessments for the past threo years. "5. That under the provisions of sec tion 2921, of said Act, those provisions of tho same not ieoneerned with the taxiig provisions and not requiring I roll call vote for their passage are valid. ''6. That under section 3, of the muni cipal Finance Act of 1921, that all of Chapter 3, Public Laws Special Session 1020, except sections 2, 3 and 6 is re pealed ; and thst said sections 2, 3 and 6 of said Act applied only to fiscal year 1919 20: ( "7.

He served there only three years however, President Cleveland appointing him to the Bu. prcme Court in lsa.
