that took eare of the rich and "placed

Senator Simmons, who today intro
duced five amendments to the bill as
it cade from the Senate finance com
mittee is in full agreement .with the
other Denioerata of the Senate in their
view that there must be a "reasonable
consideration'' of both the tax bill and
the proposed ratification of the peace
treaties. Speaking of these matters
this afternoon he declared that the

Tha five amendments to the tax bill
which were offered today by Senator
Bitumens are designsd to more equit

tion. They deal with the transporta

of corporations, the espital stock tax,
the personal exemptions, and while
- giving relief to the average eititen

The amendment he offers on trans

in tha reneal of the whole tax trsns-

man, instead of one half aa provided
in the House and Senate bills. Tha aa
ditional loss in revenue ho figures

Another of the amendment . would
repeal the provisions of' the present
law brought forward in both the House
and Senate bills, allowing an exemp

Ex-Justice and Ex-Governor
To' Defend State In Rail
road Cases
The retention of George H.
Brown, former Associate Justice of the
North' Carolina Supreme Court and
Locke Craig, former Governor of North
Carolina, te assist Attorney General
James S. Manning in the defense of the
injunction action brought by the 8outh
era Railway and the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway to prevent. the collection
of taxes levied against them was an
nounced by Governor Morrison yesler
dry.
Both Justice Brown aad Governor
Craig are eminently sjualiflcd for pre
paring the State a defenses, the Gover
nor believes,, and they,' together with
Judge Bynum of Greensboro, first of
the special attorneys nanred . to assist
in the ease, will present a formidable
opposition to the efforts of the rail
roads to break down the State's taxa
tion system. Justice Brown has indi
eaeed hia willingnesa to serve and ac
ceptance was received from formeT
Governor Craig last night.
Answer to the complaints filed by
the railroads, copies of which have
been served upon all State officials eon
cerned in the administration of tax
laws, will be prepared tomorrow upon
the return of the Attorney General
from Charlotte where he has .been for
the past several weeks engaged in pri
vate business. Conference of attor
neys with him will probably bo called
for tomorrow or Monday.
Governor Morrison, in announcing
these further appointments, aald that
ho bad. heard some the criticism
tut, tea greeted - the appointment of
Judge Bynum, a Republican, to de
fend the State la the action brought
by the railroads.; Judge Bynum was
appointed because of his long expert
ence in Federal eoart practice. Other
attornoya had been agreed npoa but
their acceptance had not been
ceived when newa of Judge Bynum's
appointment got into circulation.
Some objection has been raised
to -the appointment of Justice Brown
upon the ground that he ia an emer
gency judge, despite his retirement
from. the. Supremo Court bench. The
Governor holds that tha moaition will
in no wise interfere with his retention"!
to assist the Attorney General, since
he is allowed tha privilege of private
practice, when not engaged actively
in his position ' as an. emergency
juuge.

commended That Hia Seat Be
Declared Vacant
Washington, Sept 29. Opinions con
flicting along party tinea were presented
today by majority and minority mem
bers of the Senate privileges and elec
tions committees on the Ford-Newberry
1918 senatorial election' contest from
Michigan.
The majority report- cleared Senator
Truman H. Newberry, the Republican
candidate, of corruption and all other
charges, and recommended that he be
legally seated. The Democratie mem
bora on the contrary asserted thst Sena
tor Newberry was elected by corrupt
and illegal methods and practices," and
recommended that his seat be declared
vacant.
Now Coos to Senate
With the filing of the reports, the
case bow goes to the Senate for final
deiaion, whin will probably not be made
for several weeks. In the meantime, it
ia understood, Senator Newberry will not
attend the Senate aessions.
Oa only, two major' issues were , the
Republians and Democrats in harmony
in the reports filed today. They agreed
that HenryvFord, the Democratie con
testant, had not been elected and was
not entitled to the seat from Michigan.
They also agreed that too much money
had been spent in the Michigan primary,
The Democrats, however, contended that
Senator Newberry was responsible per
sonally for the expenditures, while the
Republicans held ho wss not.
Recommendations of the majority re
port, submitted by Senator Spencer, Re
publican, Missouri, who eonducted the
committee investigation and recount
Majority Recommendations
1 That tha contest of Henry Ford
against Truman H. Newberry be, and it
is, hereby, dismissed.
1 That Truman H. Newberry Is
breby declared to bf . duly footed
Senator from tho Stall' f Micjugn for
the term of lis year commencing, en
the fourtfc day of March, 1919.
3 That his qualification for a aeat la
the Senate of the United States, to
which he has been elected, baa been
conclusively established, and tho charges
trade against him in this process both
to hia election and qualification, are
not sustained.
Conclusions of the mlnlority, pre
sented by Senator Fomerene, Demo
crat, Ohio, and signed also by Senators
King, Utah, and Ashurst, Arizona, were
1 That the irregularities complained
of do not relate to the general election
but to the primary. Henry Ford did not
rceeivo a plurality of the votes cast at
the general elecetion. we, therefore,find
that tho petitioner, Henry Ford, was ait
elected and is not entitled to a seat In
the Senate of the United States.
2 We find that under the facts and
circumstances of this ease corrupt and
illt-gal methods And practices wore em
ployed at tha primary election and that
Truman H. Newberry violated tne Cor

Tha. only address in the' Senate on

Ing irresistibily into the league.
He also contended that the treaties
failed to provide for release of Amen

pionaga laws. Referring apparently to
Eugene V. Debs, he ssid a man wns
serving a ten year sentence in the At

Invitation
Head Of Ridgecrest Assembly
To Defend Himself Against
Attars On Character
Aahoville, Sept 29. Rev. Dr. Living
ston T. Mays, whose character was at
tacked in affidavits presented to Gov
ernor Morrison by attorneys for J. T.
Harris, condemned slayer of T. W. Mon
niah, Alabama churchman, today called
a meeting ot th general board of th
Southern Baptist assembly, which he
will ask to hear the charges filed against
him and act a they sea fit Dr. Mays
maintains that th attempt to impeach
hi character war made when he could
not defend himself and asserts that he
will not resign as secretary of the as
sembly, as has been suggested by Dr.
Livingston Johnson, editor of tho Bib
lical Recorder, but will , vindivate him
self and win the support of Dr. Johnson.
"Dr. Jjhnson's editorial waa written
before he had aeen or heard any of the
testimony except that offered by the at
torney of the condemned man, when he
sees what I have in my pocket I believe
lit will be strong for me, aaid Dr. Mays.
Dr. Livingston Johnson last night re
fused to comment when Dr. Mtfys' stac
ment was read to him. "I am standing
by my statement in tho Biblical Re
corder and will make any further state
ments that I have to make through its
editorial columns," stated Dr. Johnson.
''I do not wish to be east in the role of
a prosecutor of Dr. Mays, but I feel that
his position is such that the charges
fhmild be fully disproved, he added.
Prominent Baptists in Raleigh h-ive
freely expressed the opinion that evi
dence produced against Dr. Mays was
overwhelming, in -its 'character-and it
lii believed here that vt. Mays win u
tainly be forced to withdraw from. aZ
cial connection with, th denomination.
Fifty-one per cent of the atock in the
Ridgecrest assembly is held by the edu
cation commission of the Southern 1U?

owned by individual Baptists all. over

of a conference "with a view to aseer
tainipg how th association of Ireland
with the community of nation know
