missioner of Balbriggan, Ireland,
today gave to the committee of the
commission of 100 investigating the

details of the September raid on

resulted in the death of half a doz

"The . "black and tan' spent a

were ready to collapse as each new
outbreak came for we did not know
what would happen to us next."
The Balbriggan commissioner de

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ARE HOT OVER
ENDORSEMENT OF BUTLER BY DEMS.
The List Who Are Not for
shadows the One for Him-Way to Punish Dem
ocrats Warren Says.
(Br MAX ABEENETHY)
Raleigh. Nov; 19. Leaders of
the Democratic party in the state
who have read the endorsement of
former Senator Marion Butler by
members of their own family for
commissioner of agriculture in
President-elect Harding's cabinet
are decidedly the maddest folks im
aginable.
. Nothing in recent years has so
ruffled the countenances of Democ
racy's warhorses in North Caro
lina as these "prominent" Demo
crats who fixed their signatures to
the Butler urge which will be pre
sented to Mr. Harding. The psy
chology of such action is irritat
ing if not exasperating. The ac
credited leaders of the party in
North Carolina do not attempt to
understand what prompted the ac
tion of their fellow partisans and
they are saying so. ,
State chairman Thos. D. Warren,
of New Bern who is in the city
this week frankly dislikes the idea
of Democratic names appearing on
a recommendation of Republican
Marion Butler. If Senator Hard
ing really wants to punish North
Carolina for failing to go with the
Republican landslide this year he
knows of no better way than to ele
vate Jar. Butler to the cabinet.
That's how near the state chair
man comes to endorsing Mr. Butler.-".

Judge George P. Pell, member
of the state corporation commis
sion .easily sees red when thinking
about Mr. Butler and the "promi
nent" Democrats who have en
dorsed him. - If the list that comes
to Raleigh is correct Walter Clark,
chief justice of the Supreme court.
J. Bryan Grimes, secretary of
state; W. A. Graham, commissioner
of agriculutrej W. A. Hoke, asso-
cite justice: J. Y, Joyner, former
state superintendent - and others
have signed the Butler endorse
ment. - ' iV' -Vec
This list is formiadble and all are

Jail attaches put Young in the
Bull pen of the jail until a writ of
Habeas could be secured for his re

Whether Mr. Harding elevates

that the Democrats have pulled a
boner in endorsing Mr. Butler.
This will be exemplified several
months preceding the next general
election in North Carolina when
Mr. Butler gets in the fight against
his political enemies ,the Demo
crats. ..'
The State Corporation Commis
sion this morning heard represen

existence of undue discrimination
against interstate passenger rates
in North Carolina. An examiner
of the Interstate Commerce Com;
mission appeared at the hearing
and will make his report to the na

trastate passenger rate of three
cents in North Carolina is discrim

that this difference be wiped out.

curs. The state commission can
not make the change because the
legislators at the special session of

statute the state rate of three
cents. ; - . -v
Members of the state commis
sion understand that the Interstate

fares increased to 3.5 cents but
they were permitted by law from

TWO CROP BUREAUS
WILL BE MERGED
Crop Reporting and Market Offices
Which Have Been Overlapping
To Be Consolidated
Washington, Nov. 19. Consoli
dation of the government's Crop
Reporting Bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Bu
reau of Markets is to be effected as
soon as possible. The work of
both has; been largely along the
same linels and considerable work
has been done by each which, in a
measure, is a dpulication or an in
fringement upon the duties of the
other. At times some clashing has
been reported.
The work of both can be handled
advantageously by one bureau and
operating costs reduced. This is ex
pected to result in better work all
around and to save money. The
new bureau is to be known as the
Bureau of Markets and Statistics.
Official announcement is expected
