Peosl in some sections of the country do not seem to understood that so called lynchlngs in the south are nothing more than the killing of a criminal by the friends and fre quently outraged relatives of the victim of the prisoner's crime, de clared Governor Morrison today in a statement following publication of Associated Press dispatches an nouncing that Judge Snyder, of Hamilton, Ont., had refused to grant extradition for Matthew Bullock, negro, wanted In North Carolina for attempt to murder Rabey Taylor and fur Inciting to riot at Norllna in January of last year. The governor expressed confi dence that tlie matter of Bullock's extradition from Canada would be handled by the state department in Washington "with high respect for the slato of North Carolina." Bullock, it is understood, is still in custody. BE GIVEV t'AlU TRIAL. Governoj Morrison reiterated his 'former statement that If Bul lock is brought back to North Car olina to stand trial every precau tion will be taken to guarantee him a fair trial. "l.ynchings are never winked at by the authorities and are always prevented where tho authorities have anr knowledge of the ap .proach of danger and an oppor tunity to prevent it," said the gov ernor. "What have come tobe tailed lynchlngs in the south ore nothing but ordinary killings in other sections of the country. Be cause of the fact that some of our country seats are small villages with very small police forces and tho jail kept by one man, those frho are bitterly aroused and seek vengeance are able to go to the Expected Ratification Will Be Delayed Longer Than Thought SENATORSWANT TO GET INFORMATION But Harding Says "Min utes of Conference" Were Not Kept WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 S. i By The Associated Tress) Despite the pressure of . both republican and democratic icnatc leaders for prompt action, controversies are developing wltfiin the foreign re lations committees which may lead to a long committee discussion of the arms conference treaties before any of them is brought to tho senate floor for ratification. Some members of the committee predicted today thut the effort to secure n detailed explanation of the negotiations leading up to the rour-power Pacific treaty would in itself become an element of con sidorablo delay. Afterward at least four proposed reservations to this treaty, uhidi is first on the list, seem likely tu conic before the committer, before it goes on to the other xeven conference agreements that await senate approval. liKADKKS H t.fj t F.RTAI.V The parly leaders on bolh tides of tlie chamber are satisfied that the disagreements and delays en countered will in no way endanger ratification of any of the treaties, but they are watching with mani fest Interest the attempt in prog ress to consolidate into a fighting machine all tho senate elements dissatisfied with the results of the Washington negotiations. Thus far there is no evidence that any closely-knit anti-treaty "bloc" .has been attained. Tho first test of strength In the committee may como next week over a proposal to further pursue the quest for detailed information regarding the four-power treaty negotiations. President Harding is expected to inform tho senate Monday, in response to Its resolu tion of Inquiry, , that no minutes of the negotiations were kept. But It was indicated tonight that such a reply might not bo acceptable to some committee members and that an effort might be made to sum mon Secretary Hughes, the Ameri can delegation head, home from Bermuda, where ho has gone for a rest. Both Senators Lodge and Under wood, who were members of the delegation, have told their .- col leagues that virtually all the four- Head contracts in the ninth district approximating one million dollars will be let during tho month of March, .lames U. Stikrteather, state highway commissioner for this district, said yesterday. Ono of the principal achievements of the new projects to be let will be the lopping off of some 40 miles In the distance of Ashcvllle to Atlanta by motor. This will ho accomplished by pro viding a direct route, extending from Asheville through Vaytte3 iile, Sylva and Franklin, to the tieorgia county line, a distance of Hbout 80 miles. It will strike Rayhtin county, Geor gia, near oentf, passing through Kabungap to Tallulah Kalis. From tlits scenic point of Interest to At lanta a tine road has been butlt, and is destined to become one of the most widely uaveVH htghnas in that state. Georgia road commissioner be lieve The distance by this route, from Atlanta to tlie North I'arolltia lino is about 14H miles, making the total from Ashovill. to th Georgia city around 210 miles. lroJcc-ts o be let In March Include Franklin to ths Georgia line. 14 miles: Syha. lo Franklin, II miles. The l'J mil strip lo Sylva, now helps; constructed, will h finished by June 1, Mr. StlUc!ather states.

SK DEALERS IN IfJ DEFAULT BOND L. S. JAIL TO BE power negotiations were carried! CJi!? Sf: some jailer ruse, or trick, and take tho jail and by capture the criminal. "This very ever occurs and we have adopted a rule in this state now of bringing to the state prison In Raleigh for safe keeping crimi nals who have perpetrated crimes which In their nature outrage the community and might cause vlus. lence. Bo-called lynchlngs of the character are very rare; most of these occurences called lynchlngs happen before the "rst officers apprehend tho prisoner at all and are nothing but murder committed by those who are outraged by the crime and committed by the per sons lynched. The officers know knowing of it until after it's over and have no way to prevent It. "The sentiment against so-called lynchlngs in ffilg state is pro nounced and universal. We now have in the state penitentiary white man who led a mob in an assault upon three negro prisoners in the hands of the authorities. I recently refused a grant of execu tlvo clomency to this prisoner.

HITCHCOCK GOING WEST Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska. ranking democratic member of the committee and author of tho reso lution of inquiry, plaus to leave Washington Monday for a western trip wntcn probably will keep him away unttl the end of tbe week. In his absence the effort to secure additional data is expected by com mittee member, to be taken up by several republican senators, in cluding Borah, of Idaho, Johnson, of California, and Brandegee, of Connecticut. In addition to these three "repub licans, Senators Moses, of New Hampshire, and McCormick, of Illinois, also are republican sur vivors of the old "Irreconcilable battalion" of the A'ersallles treaty fight, and the Ave together make up an element of tho republican committee membership which the leaders are watching with particu lar interest. All five havo express ed some doubts about provisions o the four-power treaty, and it is realized that should they effect a working agreement with the dem ocratic members the result would be a combination strong enough to dictate committee action. I'NDKRWOOD . OPriMLSTlC. Tho exact purpose of the demo crats, however, still Is a matter of conjecture. Senator Underwood, as democratic leader, Is confident that few democratic votes will be recorded against ithe treatv and even Senator Hitchcock has indi cated he would vote for It after supporting reservations. The atti tude of the democratic, classed as dled-in-the-wool supporters of Woodrow Wilson remains a wait ing one, and all of them declare that so far the former President has shown no desire to take i a hand in the ratification discussion.

Removal of tlio menace does not mean It Is destroyed, he said, as "It Is pursuing Its dovous and menacng activities," where It can not be watched or dealth with s directly. "If we are to ropo effectively with this attack on our Institu tions," he declared, " wo must first of all rrrognlzo that the attack Is In progress, and I hat It is extreme ly dangerous; and after that, we tiiust search our Institutions, and organizations In siv effort to de termine to what extent they Justi fy violent criticism and hostile at tack; and having made such a survey.
