ERNST UNABLE TO EXACT PROMISE OF SEMI SES Senator From Kentucky Wants Closed Doors at Hearing On Unney Next Friday SENATOR CUMMINS NOT IMPRESSED WITH IDEA Benator Owm&n, Third Mem . ber of Senate Sub-Gommit-tee, Stands firmly Tor Pub- ,11c Meetiofi General Xzpeo- 7 tatton That Carolinian Will Be Confirmed By Senate The Newt and Observer Bureau, 603 District National Bask Bldg. By EDWARD E. BRITTON Wsthiugton, June 18. Unless Senator Ernst, chairman of the subcommittee af the Senate judiciary committee, which has on band the hearing of the negro protest gainst the confirmation I Frank A. Linney as district attor ey of the Western District of North Carolina, is able to convince Senator Cummins that an executive session of the sub-committee is the proper course, then the hearing will be had under the open door rule first promulgated by benator Ernst and the public will gut the news of what goes on. That i1:cr being miule an effort to have the '. i r i . Mud closed doors with oi l' .;;.( t ii time before the committee is so, Uul as Senator Over man the third member of the commit tee is flat footedly in favor of an open door hearing the expressed wish of Senator Ernst of a secret session will secure iot if Senator Cummins adheres to the position of "Open the Door' Which he holds now. Butler Plays Hia Hand. Senator Ernst, now being quoted as wanting to keep the door shut against those who would like to hear all that goes on when the negroes appear to protest the Linner nomination, was not always thus. lie it was who called' for open hearing. But he has suddenly changed his views, and gives as hit reason that in place of having to much of the oratory that an- open session in vites that time will be saved by hearing the anti-Linneyites arid th Linneyitcs eparately. Tho question arises as to why he changed his mind. Here enters ita the question former Benator Marion Butler, who is against n open session. Urging that the best thing to do is to go- to' 1t with The .door closed he has seen Senuator Ernst who sell into the Butler view, and likew ise Senator Cummins, who has not a yet agreed to the proposition. Asked today about the hearings the reply was: Senator Ernst wss chairman of the sub-committee. Mr understanding is that the sessions are to be open Senator Overman said concerning the aame matter: "I am for an open ses aion. and Senator Cummins has ex pressed the same views.'' Unney Will Be Confirmed While the view of Senator Ernst is . aaid to be solely as a matter to save time that it is not from a desire to se cure secrecy, there is a feeling among a large number of Republican Senators that thero ought not to be so much waih ing of party linen in public. And the view of former Senator Butler is aaid to coincide. Too ranch tooting of horns about party troubles does not at this -irae appeal to him and hia counsel to Benator Ems and Senator Cummins is that the thing to do is to keep the door ihut, that this will aid in keeping down publicity. Senaor Ernst has done the "about face on his position, and now is out in the open for the closed uoor hearing, but aa he haa Senator Overman and Senator Cummins to contend with it is not expected that ho will bava Vs way in the matter. So the outlafl ; that the gayety of the nations, f or ext Friday is assured, for the Unney dele gation and. tha anti-Linney forcea an mounecd that they would, be in attend ante in force when the hearing is held As more than two dozen negroes are scheduled to be present, and a many white men, the proceedings neat week srre pretty apt to be lively. Aa to th final result I am .still holding to my reviout view that Linney will be cor, firmed, and IJind many here who fully agree with mo. League Not Guilty I have heard some little talk that th failure of the Republicans in their cau eua to agree to a reapportionment bill for membership of the House, according to the 1920 census, waa the influence of the Anti-Saloon League, that its leaders figured out that a new apportionment even if the aame number of member were retained and the per quota of pop ulation increased, would result in aa increased eity representation and a dc create in country member.

Mors poly of Electric Power. Mr. Brooks in his questions was en deavoring to show that tho Southern Power Company has a monopoly of the elcctrio power business in this section of North Carolina as he bad Mr. Lee to admit that hte Southern Power Com pany furnishes about 20U cotton mills in North Carolina with current and also furnishes these mills with electric cur rent which is used for lighting and do mestic purposes in their villages as pro vided for in the contracts, according to tas witness. Mr. Brooks asked Mr. Lea the direct question as to the number of cotton mills furnished current and motive power in North and South Carolina by the Southern Tower Company. The ro ply was that about 300 mills are fur lushed. Replying to a question as to the number of those mills located in North Carolina Mr. Leo estimated that at least 70 per cent are in North Carolina.

Mr. Brookt alto questioned Mr. Lee about a number ff other matters, eomo of which tbewitess could not answer as he did not know, but in the major ity he returned clear-cut answers. He admitted that hs believed that tomo construction work had beon done here by the North Carolina Public Service Company. When Mr. Brooks finished hit cross examination Mr. Bobiui-on returned to a direct examination. A discussion the hearing before the Corporation Commission was gone over in tome de tail while Mr. Lee answered the quel tions. -; . Caiulrr Charges Plagiarism. E. T.

He also mentioned the opinion rendere by Chief Justice Clark in which the Justice decided with the North Caro lina Public Scrvico Company and do elarcd that the opinion had been taken from the brief filed by Mr. Brooks, an that the other part of the opinion had been secured from ths Supreme Court of the United States in an opinion in tha American Tobacco-Company case. Judge Boyd had not read Justi, Clarke's opinion but ho said that on opinion might be formed from Mr. Brook's brief with a great deal of eon fide nee., much to the satisfaction of O. I Sapp and H. R.
