Tha reso lution, which hnd passed it sec ond roVling on Wednesday earns up in regular courss aad waa tabled try a viva voce vols on motion of senator Burgwyn, of Northampton. ' Hut while tHe Honuts disposed of these matters quickly, quits a bit of discusaion waa aroused by a resolution, previously passed by tho Home, extending the thanks of the Tiioplo of North Carolina to Morris H. H.-aman, of Wuke County, for "distinguished and able public serv ins in securing just freight rates. r tienator Long of Alamance de manded that the resolution be read in full on the ground that ths Ken ute "might learn something." The resolution contained th, rraeefar fidwn fight." which arrested "fnVa't tention of Meruitors and caused the resolution to bs reread several times. Henator Mark Squires then came to the bat with a suggestion that there hud been aomo controversy as to who deserved the credit for what had been dons in connection i!h freight rates and moved that tlio resolution bo roferred to the committee on me uorporation i m iiiUmou. The motion was lost by a ite of 13 to 14 on a division dem anded by Senator Brassfleld of Wake and the bill was then sent to the Committee on Judiciary No, 1, another division being demanded by tho Senator from WnkeJ Te Regalste leesl Bonds. A measure looking to an invsn- iory of tho 'lionded indebtedness of the various subdivisions; pro tecting the credit of ths 8tnt by providing for the prompt psyment of principal snd interest on all such bond and making bob com pliance with its terms a misdemean or, waa introduced yssterdsy by Senator Pams. Ths Bonn bill rrqniree that all bonda or notes heretofore issued by any county, city, township, school ilistrn-t or other taxing unit shall bs listed with ths Stat Auditor on or before March 1, IV22, and that thereafter nil such issues shall be reported within thrity days after they are made. Infromation to ho furnished the auditor includes the amounts of bonds or notes, dates of issue of maturity, intorest due, rate of interest, place and lime at which interest ia payable, ths denomina tion of the bonds snd notes and the purpose for which issued. It is required that ths Auditor keep the information thus fur nished properly filed snd indexed ami to remind the issuing boards of their obligations prior to each interest date. It ia also provided that notice be sent ta ths local units thirty days prior to ths dato of levying taxes and failure to vote for a sufficient Ux to pay the in terest on the bonds and provide a sinking fund for their retirement is punishable by a fins of 1200. It is also made a misdemeanor on the apart of n I concerned to default in a single day in the principal or Interest ef notes or bends er to di vert the money raised for thsir payment to any other purpose. Te Register Secnrlties. Another Htate-wide bill, introduced by Henator Varser, provides for modern regiatration of aecuritiea of the State of North Carolina. Senator McKlnne introduced a bill, similar to one already proposed In the House, requiring nil con fiscated, liquor to bs destroyed in ths presencs of two witnesses of opposite sea, appointed by a court having jurisdiction over sueh esses. Senator RraasfleU yesterday In troduced a bill providing for the re- moral of Teeble minded children from the Staf Hospital at Raleigh to ths Caswell Training School at Kinaton. Another bill offered by the Wake eounty Senator would permit Professor Needham T. Oulley ef Waka Forest to publish certain sec tions of ths Consolidated Statute for use as a text book. Ths session adjourned at 1I:M until eleven o'clock today after a brief executive session ia which ths following recess appointments of Governor Morrison wers confirmed: William C.

Pro- viaioa for this sort of relief was writtea into the amendment to the constitution, but this la ths first time that the Issue has been raised ia Ue General Assembly.

Any appointee against whom charges may be brought by the Governor m te be given ten day notice, and sp portunity to be heard 'before the Governor befote he I deprived of office. No appeal is allowed from the executive decision. Appointees by and with the consent of the Senate are rioluded from the provisions of th act. .... - JUethe Veakle Uw . -Many of the provisions ia the Murphy Vehicle Law arc Included in a somewhat similar measure offered in the House by Everett of Richmond with less of ths admlnujtrstivs ms chlnery, and' a compromise between ths Murphy and Everett acts wilt likely be the outcome of the situs tloa. Mr. Everett would clothe the Secretary of State with some police powers to the end that many auto mobile owners who avoid payment of license feea will be ronnded np. Th school deficit resolution passed the House without a flicker of inter est from any quarter, and not until the Finance Act was brought up was there a break In th serenity of the session. Nobody had anything to of fer a a substitute for the Finance Act, or claimed to know wht its pro visions meant, buf Representstivc Oowlcs thought that every town In his rounty of Wilkes could get along very woll without any sueh legisla tion at all. Baapleloaa of Lawyers Mr. Conies had heard that the bill was drawn by, and In the interest of New York bonding houses, and at torneys retained by them. He wna against it on that score, and an the grounds that it -snid that town au thorities were not required to tell what they weTS- going to do with the money when they issued ths bonda. Kepresentativs Connor, in charge of the bill, declared that Mr. Cowles didn't know anything about its pro visions, didn t understand the bill, and was in no position te criticise it. Ho explained thst it was the same Finance Act that had been passed with regularity for the paat several sessions. Mr. Cowles was ua willing to trust it, and wanted to ex cept all the towns in his eounty from it. Mf. Cowles had nothing to offer to Mr. Connor's inquiry as to how hia towns were going t operate with no law te operate under, how they were going to levy taios and collect them, how they were going to do anything at all aa a municipality. The amend inent waa killed, and the measure passed on its second reading with Mr. Cowles snd the Republican mem bers who sit next to him voting against it. , . More Delays at Arms Con gress May Be Expected (Continued From Pag One) ths critical period of the conference, but, aside from the Chinese and n certain dissatisfaction to he noted both among the French and the Ital ians, who are more or less out of the picture at the moment there la no evidence that there is ths smallest open or concealed hltterness or ir reconcilinbility ss between the par-itlc-pants. There is nothing to sug gest, for example, that a real or ap proximate battle ia going on. in reality it would appear that there ha been something like a cessation of real discussion here, while conver sations are carried on between Wash ington and Tokio and perhaps be tween London and Tokio. It would seem, by contrast, thst Mr. Hughes in the recent snd appar ently all Important discussion with Mr. Balfour and Baron Kato agreed to await the decision of Tokio on cer tain proposals mors or less vngue. which were then sketched without it would appear committing his own hand absolutely. That hs "oi edited to an alliance to a treaty ef guaran tee in any respect is wholly unbe lievable, but that he would naturally refrain from public utterance which might depreciate Ue value of the proposal in Japan, before it should be definitely agreed upon there is un derstandable. Chinese Only One Worried. At all events, while in a aense negotiations are at a crisis, it would lie a total error to regard that, aside from the Chinese detail, they are In ny senss critical. All signs point to more delays, perhaps extending into next week, but nothing yet even vaguely suggests a break. No one is sending for a George Washington, unless perhaps the Chinese. Io one in fact seems seriously disturbed, except the Chinese, although there is no mistaking a growing feeling that the delay and the reticence, however necessary, are both aafortunate. What might happen if the Chinese actually break away, recognising thia as possible if not actually probable, remains ths most serious immediate speculstion.

When it wa do: be drove off to Saaferd. At another time, the witness testi fied that he sold a stolen autonnbiiu to Kelly and the night after tha sale, whea the numbers had been changed, stole (he ear again from Kelly and aold it in Raleigh. Kelly learned about th theft, he aaid, baring followed him te Raleigh where tha Sanford man traced hia lost automobile. It una on cross examination that Craig fared hard, Ueugh his story waa not disturbed, A. F. Gavin, who conducted He cross examina tion tore into ths witness' record. 'How long hara you been steal ingf" he asfed Craig. The witness couldn't say. J "When were you sent toithe refor matory f" ths attorney came bk. Ths witness replied that he waa sixteen years old then. . ; "Wss that for stealing, toof" the lawyer continued. "Oh no. That was for miscellane ous things," replied Craig. Pinned down as to the meaning of "miscellaneous things'' he declared that he was sent to the reformatory because with a group of other boys, he had "hit a chicken ia a head wiith a brick and had made a mud roast.'' I'adertaklag Baslaesa "Where ia your wifef th law yer asked. "I havent nc," replied Craig who had just admitted joining the navyla -'IBM aad deserting after about a year's service. Than; why weren't you fa 'the wsr," Mr. Gavin persisted. "I wasn't called," replied th wit ness. He explained that he registered, waa placed in Class 1 subject to call. "But I went down to Norfolk and got in the Undertaking business aad they didn't call me," he replied. tr (iavia tried to make Craig ad mit that he wrote a note to Dan Mclvvr, negro Involved in sums of the enst, whils both were prisoners in the Wsks county jail. The iswyer had the alleged note, written on the insids of a Chesterfield eigaret box. Gavin denied the handwriting. "I wouldn't have sent him that kind of rigareta anyhow,'' he ex plained. "I smoke Piedmonts." The lawyer had him give from die tat ion a sample of his handwriting. But it was J. W. Osl'orne, who took up the cross examination after Gavin had dropped it that had tha. witness to write this message for purposes of comparison with the note in the eigaret box: "If you will tell an I saw, we will get out all o. k. I am sorry for you. The message, the defense will claim, was sent in the package of cigarette from Craig to Mclver. Jailer Jordan acting as messenger. On cross examination, Mr. Gavia started a line of exsminstion that drew a hot answer from another witnrsa later In the day. He asked Craig if he had not been shot three times by Fred Forcm.ia, at whose home he lived in Norfolk. "I haven't been shot once yet," he replied, but admitted that he had been shot st. When Mrj. Foreman as oa the stand near the end of the day's ses sion testifying to a conversstlon she overheard between Hoffman nd Craig in which Hoffman told Craig he had atored some automobiles for him in Norfolk, Ca'.. Armistead Jones asked her if she were present when her husband shot at Craig. "That's my own sffsir and It doesn't concern anyone else," biased the witneee. This ahe reiterated while Judge Connor hesitated on the question of allowing the question. He appeared willing to require an answer if It were purely for the purpose of at tacking the witness. Mr. Jones asid this was his purpose but he did aet press ths question. After his first appearance ea Ue stand In the morning Hoffman was recalled for further examination by the government yesterday after noon, nia cross examination by Mr. Osborne, however, waa deferred. About fifty five cars, in all, hs tes tiled, hs bought for Kelly, upon whose invitatioa he had quit a job ea salesman with a New York auto mobile concern to brcome his pur chssing agent. Some of these, he testified, were sent overlsnd aud soms were chipped by rail. Ninety per eent of U number, he esti mated, were purchased from legiti mate Ford dealers. "Ths ether tes per eent were stolen! he was asked on cross examinatioB. "I don't know that any of them were stolen," he replied. That was his contention through out. It was his ela: n that he waa acting aa Kelly's agent. But th most damaging .evidence against Scott same from Hoffmaa ia the late afternoon when he testified that th former member of the New York Automobile squad railed him by telephone and informed him that the car he eras sngaged ia handling were stolen. Upon Beott's demaad, he said, hs paid hia oa several occasions a total of 1600. As aa sxchangs courtesy hs farther aaid, Scott furnished him with registration sards in blank, used by hisa ia ths traffic wiU Kelly. William J.
