It'a a "Blue Monday" even if it is tlie last of the week for the North Carolina Repub licans who art looking for recess np pointmenfs. Among those who will have the blues will Ire (iillinin Grisnin, per haps Irvin Tucker, and porh.ps A. L. MeCaskill. An old ruling of former at torney general of the Cnited States has lieen raked up, which says that 1he President is not authorized to appoint during a, recess of Congress appointed to ,1 specific date. That holds up oil possible recess appointments, and so the Republicans who are nfter jols will have to wait until Congress is in session strain. It is true that Attorney General Dauohei-tv proposes to review tho opinion given by a former attorney general, hut the odds are against a re versal. It was learned tonight that. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the. negro Republican National committeeman from Georgia, who has been nominated for register of deeds for the District i f Coluiuhia, has suffered n stroke of paralysis which lias incapacitated him for any kind of public service. Hi- nomination is pend ing in the Senate, having been held up because of oh jo -rums to him. Sinco he has boon stricken and thus made unfit for service, it is i nerted that his nom ination may be withdrawn. One Nominee Slips Through One ii. niin-o of ''resident Harding was slipped through the Senate by un error of sum.' uuknnwn. Charles F. i 'ole, of Arkansas, was nominated a few days ago by President Hanling for tho V. 8. district. nUoriy-y (or the Kiiotcm District of Arkansas. It. went to the judiciary committee, where Chairuuiii Knute Nelson promised Senator Caro way, of Arkansas, to withhold nation until the rat urn to America of Senator Joo Robinson, who is now attending the Interparliamentary Union at Stockholm, tsenntor Ilobinson proposes to file hinges against I'ole, and because of this .Senator Nelson has sent a special delivery letter to the Attorney General telling him of the error in the con firmation of Mr. Cole and asking t lint no commission be issued until Congress reconvenes nfter the recess. And so after nil the Republican ma jority decides to lay aside the tariff bill and tflko up tho tax bill first. Senator Penrose has so decided, and when Sena tor Penrose cracks the whip the" rest of the Republicans in the Senate, who wig gle waggle with the administration jump nround and do his bidding. The finance committee hearings on tho tariff are to be adjourned next week und the revenue bill taken up by the committee. It is expected that this will mean many months delay in reporting the tariff bill to the Senate, and it is possible that it will bo 19-J before the tariff bill is made a law. The revenue bill is to be whipped into shape by the Republicans of the Senate finance committee, and wheu it has been passed on by the Son ate will go to the House, for it is cer .tain there will be many changes made in it. This will necessitate action by 'the House, a conference on the measure and resubmission of the bill to both the House and Senate. And when the tariff bill is finally agreed on by the finance committee it will have to go through the same process. ' William (i. McAdoo, Writing from New York to Senator Simmons in reply to a cordial invitation to address tho people of North Carolina at the Rocky Mount Fair, which is to be held September L'7 to 3o expresses the keenest regret that 'he will not. be able to accept. He says there ia no chance for him to do so, not only because of other engagements, but because he will be tightly tied up in New York the latter part of September and the early part of October. "I had Buch a delightful experience on my trip to the fair at New I!crn under your auspices last year," he assures Senator (Simmons, "that the temptation to go this fall is very strong. Will you please explain to your friends how sorry I am that I cannot get away." Mrs. Joseph F. Patterson, daughter of Senator Simmons, with her daughter and son, Simmons and Joseph Patterson, Jr., arrived hero this .morning for. a visit to the (senator's family. J. W, Spencer and C. A. Mebane, of xMreensborn, are here quartered at the New Wills nl hotel. 8enator Simmons, in obedience to a request from a large number of citi rena of Hoke connty, has tiled wi;h the War Department a petition asking: the government to aell the land in the Camp Bragg area back to the citizens of that community who formerly lived upon it or to other citizens who wish to buy farms there in the event the camp hall be discontinued. The people in that aection, as re flected in. the petition, are opposed to any plan that would convert that area iato a hunting preserve or for any other 'nse than agricultural purposes. The petition was sent to Senator Sim mons by Gordon B. Rowland, attorney at law, Raeford, and the Senator was glad to comply with the request of - these citiiena and has tied the petition for due consideration in the aolutioa of the Camp Bragg problem. It ia understood that other and dif ferent anggeetioni hate alto been mad and that tie Senator and CongreMaea are fiuag the euggeitione without prn Judico at tiia time. - , -. ( Madison, W. Va., Aug. 26. (liy the Associated Press . The march of min ers from Maruict to Mingo, in protest against, martial law, came to an end' lute today when President ('. F. Kce ney, District 17, V'nited Mine Workers of America, induced SCO or 600 of the men to agr,eo to return to their homes. Keeney said that special trains would bo provided for the men here while the thousand along the road between Madison and Peyton had already taken back track. Keeney aaid he was trying to have a train here tonight. It is only a short run over the Coal River branch of the Chesapeake) nnd Ohio railroad to Stal hand .on tho main line, and an equally short ono from there to Charleston. Ho planned he said,' to get the men here aboard the train at the earliest possible moment, for they were foot sore and weary and many of them had marched a long distance before they reached Marnret. A meeting of the advance guard of about 2i"l marching miners was held in the baseball jiark hire, the men oc cupying the grand stand. Knough stragglers had come along the Peyton -Madison road to swell the gathering to about WW. The men sat. in the bright sunshine and listened intently while Mr. Kee E Member of Delegation That Carried Armistice Terms To Foch Is Murdered Berlin, Aug. 26. 'By the Associated Press i. Mathias Erzhorgcr former Tice premier and minister of finance, was murdered today. Herr Krzberger was assassinated near Otenburg, Baden, where he was so journing with his family. His body contained twelve bullet wuunds. A judicial cojiunission accompanied by police dogs, proceeded to the spot on receipts of news of tho attack which occurred between 9 and ten o'clock this morning. It has been ascertained defi nitely that the attack was not for the purpose of robery. For a long time Pan-German cirelea had pursued a violent campaign againet Herr Krzberger, acruaing him Of being the auilwr of the preaent ehancellor's policy and of desiring to return to public life, from which he had partly disappeared aince his libel uit against Dr. II cite rich, former vice chancellor. Mathias Krzberger, German Vice Premier and Minister of Finance, waa shot and wounded on January 26, 1920, as he was leaving the criminal court building in Berlin after attending a hearing in n libel suit he had brought against Dr. Karl Helfferich, the former German Vice Chancellor. His assailant gate his name ns von HirschBold, a for mer cadet officer, 20 years old, a stu dent and son of a Berlin bank official. Von Hirschfeld was arrested and was quoted as aaying he considered Krz berger dangerous to the empire. The assailant fired two shota at ErzbcrgT as the minister was entering his auto mobile. Ono bullet glanced off the Minister's watch chain and another entered his shoulder. Krzberger accepted the challenge and instituted suit for libel. Tho hearing was acrimonious and u-ssumed much political importance, Dr. Helfferich de livering denunciatory speeches in court while Kriberger vigorously defended himself and his action in seeking peace in 1917. Herr Krzberger was for many years leader of the German (.'enter party and one of the leading figures in German public life after Germany's defeat in tho war. His ponce move of 1917 had made him the storm center of attack by reactionaries; but when Germany's military power collapsed he was made Minister Without Portfolio in the cabi net of I'rinee Maximillian. As. a irernber of the German Armis tice delegation he conducted negoti ations with Marshal Foch and later headed the Majority Socialists in a movement to form a new ministry and sign the peace treaty. His attitude throughout the nmtico negotiations aroused against - tlie indignation of German mi.it ; aiithoritiea and in June, 1919, it was reported that his residence had been fired upon by a Berlin mob. A plot Said to haTe been formed by members of the officers' in- ' Potsdm to asassinate him was i in September following.

Gen. H. H H.indhott, 1'. S. A., representing tho War Department in Charleston this morning. Mr. Keener told the men that tieneral Handhold had insisted that the march end at once and ex plained the possible course of the Fed era! government if the men persisted in their determination to pass through Logan and into Mingo county. Two or three of the miners, who were said to be leaders among the men, also addressed the meeting. The more conservative of these speakers urged the men to take such advice as Mr Keeney hail t:) offer. Mr. Keeney promptly told them to go back home. That broke up the meet ing, and some of the men who had joined the marching force from this vicinity, immediately started for their homes. ' ' Asks For Joint Conference. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug.

Va., with the new of reaching an agreement that would end the industrial conflict that has con tinued there for several months. TAR HEEL NAMES OFF SANER LIST First Retractions For N. C. Give Clean Slate To Men From Buncombe and Pender First retractions of the names of North Carolina registrants included on the "slacker list" issued by tho War Department have been sent out from the Headquarters of tho Fourth Corps Area at Fort M. Pherson, Ga , withdraw ing the names of Jame S. Kelly, of Buncombe roiintv, and David Barnhill, of Pender county, and presenting the records of tho ser i. e. The records of Local Board No. 1 in Buncombe county showed that Kellev was directed to rcpurt t" tho Adjutant General for military duty not later than February H, 1921, and that having .failed to do so, he was certified aj a deserter. Army records show that he aerred from December 14, 1917, to June 28, 1919. The statement from the Headquarters of the (orps Area con eludes: This man's name appeared upon the published list of alleged draft deserters as tho result of the final report of the draft officials showing him to be a dc sorter and because of the fact that there is no record of his having notified the Local Board of his entrance into the military service as was required by the draft regulations. The reason why this mans service was not dis covered in the check of the list ef al leged draft deserters against the rec ords of the Army is because at the time of his registration under the Selective S rvice Act he gave as his address, Biltmore, North Carolina, and at the time of his cniibtnicnt, Asheviile, North Carolina. As to Barnhill, the retraction states that his "name appeared, upon the pub lished list of alleged draft deserters as the result of the erroucuus report of the draft officials showing him to be a deserter. Therefore, the charge of desertion has been set asido and his name has been removed from the pub lished list of alleged draft deserters" HARDING TO CONSIDER THE DEBS PARDON TODAY Attorney General Makes Ex haustive Study of Circum stances Attending Case Washington, Aug. 26. - Deposit ion of tha case of Kugene V.

English Premier Firm In Posi tion That Great Britain Can not Yield More LEAVES DOOR OPEN TO CONTINUE EXCHANGES Warns Dc Valera That If Peace Negotiations Are Wrecked He Will Simply Play Into Hands of Extremists; Irish Parliament Will Continue Its Sessions I.AYdon. Aug. 26. 'By th- A..ciafe.l Press'. Dnvid I.ii.yd George, the Iln'ih Prime Minister, tndny sent a prompt rejoinder to the letter of Kam on ib" Valera. president of the Irish II' public which re.i e'od the British gov ernment's terms for peace in Inland. The Premier's note constituted a tirni reiteration of the government's former standpoint, that Ireland could t.ot b' permitted to withdraw from the Kmpiro. lie said he thought he ha-l made it clear in conversations and previous communication" that the gov ernment "can discuss no settlement which involves a refusal on the part of Ireland to accept a free, equal and loyal partnership in the British com monwealth under one sovereign." Mr. Lloyd George in concluding his note still heid open the door for further negotiations with Mr. Dp Valera anl colleagues if they are prepared to amine how far tlie government's con sideration 'Van be reconciled with the aspirations- you represent." He dt dared, hocoveH that the goveriimint could not "prolong a mere exchange of notes. In his communication Mr. Lloyd (ieorgo preserved the same friendly tone that characterized his former b" ti m to Mr. De VuU-ra. Today he but trosid the government's stmdpoint. by quotations from Irish patriots and Abraham Lincoln, Be v.ii-rned Mr. lie Valera that a needless prolongation of th' negotiations would serve to play into the hauls of tho extremists, who he declared, were only anxiotui to wreck the negotiations and terminate the truce. A hopeful aspect of the situation st it is viewed in lxindon political circles in that neither Mr. Do Valera in hie latest communication nor Mr. Lloyd George has yet dosed the door on the negotiation'. GEORGE'S LETTER COMES AS SITRISE TO IRISH Dublin, Aug. 26. (By the Associated Press.) Tho letter of Premier Lloyd George to Kamon Do Valera was receiv ed iu Dublin late tonight. Its contents caine as a surprise to the Sinn Feiners. The had expected further jirgunients on the claim of Ireland they had raised, instead of a repetition of th essential conditions of the British government mad known tu-JHr. Do Valera a-t the conference in Downing Street a month ago. A meeting of the Dail Eireann was hurriedly summoned for tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock to consider the situation. In Dublin Castle quarters tonight the last sentences m the Premier's letter are considered as making possible fur ther meetings for discissions of the situation with representatives of the Sinn Feins nnless they regard the words of the Premier as a challenge. Do Not Want Warfare There is reason to believe that the people do not desire a resumption of the warfare at which the Premier plain ly hints as a possibility in ruse there is delay in ending the controversy. It is thought tie fear expressed by Mr Lloyd George in this resp ct is based on reports he has received of wide spread drilling throughout the country by the Sinn Feiners. They declare that they do not regard such activity as a breach of the truce, asserting that equal activity has prevailed in the military barracks and tha' machine guns plac irwnkcns the Dublin citienry every morning. The general impression in Sinn Fein and other circles hire today was that the exchange between Mr. De valer.i and Mr. Lloyd George constituted only a new stage in the prolonged negotia tions. After t .. -c's public session of the Dail I.ir. i. : at which Kainon De Valera was unaiin onisiy elected lender of the Irish liepulilie with tlie title of President of tho Irish Republic and Arthur Griffith founder of the Sinn Fein was chosen vice President, a secret ses Jon of the parliament was held. Ac cording to the officinl report on'v or tlinary business was t ransacted. De Valera Ke-clrrted Mr. Dp Valors in accepting re elec tion said he had been credited wiih doing things that had been done by his comrades, mentioning Mr. Griffith, Mich ael Collins and others. He added that there npver had leei differences be tween himself and his colleagues, and that when t'.e British arrested him at Blark Hock thev found on him a docs, went signpd by the ministry which proved his assertion. The deputies of the parliament had made arrangements to return to their homes Saturday but tonight they are waiting to hear what the next more in the aitaation will be. If the negotia tions are to continue, however, their presence will not lie required as the cabinet has plenary powed to negotiate. During the session of parliament to da? aa internal loan of 1 .VI ,000 pounds and a loan in the I'nited Rtatea of 2n,OftO,Of0 were eaaetioned. Both Mr. De Valera and Miebal. CoUiaa declare-! that these loana wonld not be nbaerip tioaa ton low a wttirh wonld b repaid, i No Definite Prediction Made But Sec No Necessity of Continuing Expense GERMANY FOOTS BILL FOR THEIR UPKEEP Early Action On New Treaty Expected By Both United States Senate and The Ger man Reichstag; American Soldiers Stationed On Rhine Now Number 14,000 Men Washington, Aug. 2fV - Intimations were given iu tilth official quarters to dav that withdrawal of the American troops from the Hhine will bo seriously com, .b red as soon ns the peace treaty sipno I yesterday in Berlin has been ratified by the Senate nnd the German Heichstag. No definite prediction was made, but it became known that once peace actually was established the ad ministration would feel thorn would be no necessity of burdening Germany with the support ef an nrinv of occupation. I'mler the new treaty Germany agrees to perpetuate the promise she made in the treaty of Versailles to pay the. ex penses of occupation, but there is no direct mention of the subject which could be interpreted ns in any, wav af fecting the present situation or bind ing the I'nited States cither to remain or withdraw. Tho Versailles agreement fixed fifteen years as the uiaimuni period of occu pation. So far as is known there was no consideration of the subject in the negotiations leading up to the present treaty, and officials take the view here that the decis.oti lies wholly with this government. I is suggested by those favoring the early withdrawal, h iwever, that maintenance of the forei s of oc cupntion might impose such a financial burden on Germany lis to delay u terially her paynu,nt of reparations. Cost MIINon a Month Litest available figures place the num ber of American tro ps in the army of occupation at 1-f.iMiO, whose cost of main tenance is nearly a million dollars a month. Only a small part of the main tenanee bill has been met by the Gor man government, thus far, upwards of FJ.iit.Ooil.'HI being due and unpaid to the Cnited States on account of tlie occu pation. Despite the predisposition of the ml ministration to dieengago American r' latinng from any unnecessary entangle meta in Kurope, many questions will enter into consideration of the question of troop withdrawal. Problems growing out of the occupation already have led to disagreements among the Kuropean allies, and it is the manifest liopo of American officials to avoid offense to any of theni in tho course it adopts. Expect Early Action It is considered unlikely that there will be a definite decision pending rati fication of the treaty by the Senate anil by the Ifoichstag, both of which are expected to begin Consideration of the pact late next month. Meantime, however, officials of the State and War departments will make a detailed investigation of conditions in Germany mi l in the occupied terri tory for the guidance of President Hard ing nnd his advisers. Although tho treaty signed yesterday covers in a general way the question of trado relations by reaffirming many commercial provisions of the Versailles settlement, it was disclosed today that a separate trade treaty with Germany probably will bo sought in the near future. If is possible that negotiations to that end may begin even before the general treatv has beta ratified ASHEVILLE EXCEPTS TO GAS RATE ORDER Unwilling To Accept $2.30 Maximum Set By Com mission Kxceptioiia to the rec nt or b r of the Corporation Commission fixing thp max imiim charge for gas in the c it v of Ashoville nt $'.".0 with tho condition that the gas company first improve its service .were tibd lv George Pentiel! city attorney for Asheviile, yesterday morning.

Cfi. - Dancinj proved a greater attraction to many of the delegates to the third annual con vention of the North Carolina Depart ment of the American ICgion than the possibility of a verbal encounter be tween Governor Cameron Morrison and Josephus DameU at tonight's s-essiou which marked the end of tlie first day's work of this year's convention. The courthouse was thronged with. eager and nnunus people two hours be fore thti miM'ting was called to order. People who had hoped to see some in dication of the re.-ent controversy be tween the Governor and Mr. Danic's were disappointed. They reached hall alnios' nt the san e tune and sat side by side in front of the .iudu'e's rostrum. Morrison Speaks First Coloiu 1 Akin M.
