C. BRYiST) WASHINGTON. June IS. The Interstate commerce commission announced today that a certificate haa been issued authorizing the Tuckaseegee and Southeastern Railway company to acquire and operate a line of railroad in Jack son county and a "request for iier misslon to retain excess earnings was denied." George S, Parker represented the applicant In mak ing the announcement, the com mission said. The Tuckaseegee and Southeast ern Railway company on April 7. filed an application foe a certifi cate of public convenience and necessity authorizing It to acquire and operate a line of railroad ex tending from a connection with the Southern at Sylva in a gen eral southeasterly direction , up Tuckaseegee river to Blackwood, a distance of 12.26 miles, all in Jackson county. Permission Is also requested to retain the excess earnings of the tine to be acquir ed. No representations have been made by the state authorities and no objection to the granting of the Application haa been presented. The application was Incorporated under the laws of North Carolina with an authorized capital stock of $300,000. After. pointing out that a sreat weann or timber stands in this re gion the commission adds: "Drilling for copper is now be ing-done and it is asserted that the probability of develonment depends only on the trend of the prloe of coppor. There are some grazing, farming and dairying ac tivities in tne territory served, pnd Jt la claimed that these will be in creased as the timber la cut and the land devoted to agricultural purposes. "Stations will be established at Sylva, where connection is made with the Southern and at Cullo wb.ee and Blackwood. Cullowhee and Blackwood jr not served by nnotner railroad." The ccmmisslon further states: "It appears tha tthe operation of this line would serve the puo .1, Interests by giving rail tram-portatio-. to a section heretofore lacking such facilities and by mak ing po&albls the development of -Urge area Of timber lands." Upon the facts presented we find that the acquisition and operation by tha applicant of the line of rail road described in the application will be In the public Interest. As the railroad in question waa sub stantially complied prior to the effective date of paragraph 18 of section 1 of the Interstate. com merce act. It la our opinion that the request to retain excess earn ings dots not eome within the pro v.'slons of paragraph 18 of section is A of 'he act and must there- Dfoie be cortiflcal . teied." denied.

BRITISH PREMIER AGAIN SrRVIVES BIG ATTACK Confldnnoe Vote Sequel Attack on Methods. to LONDON, June 13 (By the As sociated . Press.) Premier Lloyd George successfully resisted an other powerfufi attack in the house of oomi.ions today when a pro posal to reduce th cost of his cabinet 'secretariat was rejected by 2j6 to 111 amid scenes of excite ment. The majority was consld-j eiatly smaller than customary and! occasioned shouts of resign. The eecretarlat consists of the premier's private secretaries, with a large staff, costing about $$,000 pounds yearly. It is an outgrowth of the war and in the opinion of the opposition parties Is no longer needed, giving the premier too gie.it an executive control, espec ially In the domain of foreign pol icy, besides destroying the tradi tional cabinet secretary as the members of the secretariat' now at tending the cabinet meetings and take notes. Mr. Asqulth attacked the system mainly on this ground, inasmuch is It destroyed the confidential na ture of cabinet councils. Austen Chamberlain, defending the vote said he had had experi ence with both systems and great- i iy preferred the new -one. He would not tnink of returning to :he old unbusinesslike practice when the only record of cabinet sessions was a brief letter, perhaps frorr. the rremler to the king.- Mr. Lloyd George. In discussing the subject predicted that no re sponsible minister In the future would cs't away this new machine. He denlnrd that the secretariat exercised mysterious functions 6r usurped the functions of parlia ment or enabled the prime minis ter to override the parliament's de cisions. The secretariat had noth ing to do with politics, it had no coitrol ever foreign policy. He nsserte.t that the world wanted new methods, and ridiculed the idea that there should be a re turn to tho old system which had piunged the world into war.

IS E AT Morehead's Friends Fail ed to Get Among First Three in List. Considerable agitation haa been aroused over the postmastershlp at Candler and with four in the race seeking the place as successor) to A. Z. Wright, who held office un der the national democratlo admin istration, things are expected to liv en up still more. . According to the talk that has drifted in to Asheville. there were five men who took the examination: James O. Israel and A. D. Court ney, ex-service men and democrats; the incumbent. A. a Wright, dem ocrat; and Riley W. King and E. W. Candler, republicans. It Is said that Israel stood first In the examination; Courtney, sec ond: Candler third, and Wright and King followed. When It was found that King briught up the rear and did not gain one of the first three places, making him eligible for ap pointment, the trouble began. Friends of the democrats say j there were only two ways for the republicans to get the office either let Weight remain In until the first of the year and call for a new 1 examination, or find something against one of the two democrats standing at the head of the list, so as to move King up into third place and make him eligible for consider ation. - - .

The action in reference to the highway office was due only to the legal technicality Involved, as Mr. Walker has an nounced his Intention to not call for a second primary.

Eugene Taylor, v ' GOING, GOING By BILLY BORNE Expresses Disgust With Conduct of Pennell And Associates. OFFICIALS SILENT ON DIRECT CHARGES Declares Decent Element of Party in County Is Disgusted. Mrs. Loula Roberts Piatt. in giving her position in reference to the recent senatorial race in Bun combe, last night Issued the fol lowing sjatement; "So many good democrats, men and women, with whom I am ac quainted, and from all sarte of Buncombe couiity,' have asked my position in regard to the holding of a second primary in the sena terlal fight, that I feel it to be my duty to answer them publicly. I am all the more impelled to this by the realization that, as the board of elections has conducted this whole afralr, the entire honest and decent element of. the demo cratlo party In this county has been outraged and disgusted. We are confronted with the amazing spectacle of our election officials pleading guilty by their silence to direct charges that they have be trayed their trust and cheated the public, Under such circumstances, and supported by the opinion and wishes of the decent element of the party, I had decided to call for a second primary, so that tha ma jority of the voters might express their preference as between Mr. Plato Ebbs and myself, "It appears, however, under the primary law that I am debarred from this opportunity. It may be significant, nevertheless, that, Mr. George Pennell and his henchmen, as soon as they heard of the pos sibility of my running, so precipi tately declared Mr. Ebbs the nomi nee. It is very evident that they wers eager to do everything In their power to prevent a crystall zation of the public sentiment that Is so emphatically denouncing them and their candidates. "As things now stand, the most that I can do is to express my dlsguest with the" conduit of Mr. Pennell and his associates, and to voice my appreciation of the many offers of support that I have re ceived In1 the event of my making the race. This matter, however, has Just begun. The real democ racy of Buncombe sounty will no longer submit to the dictation of dishonest election officials. These offenders will bs punished. It is now only a question of time and opportunity. Their momentary victory has only served to focus attention on their contemptible method of gaining it. "Whatever I can do at any tims against such men, I will gladly do, convinced that associated tvlth me In the effort to purify the po litical atmosphere of Buncombe county, there will be every Bun combe democrat who stands for fair dealing and honest politics. "As a reminder of the enormity of this outrage let me state that, while Mr. Ebbs received only 3, 400 votes, there were cast agalnet him 4,480, sot that, thanks to the fraudulent favoritism of Mr. pen nell and others, he is given the nomination,, although beaten by majority of over a thousand votes. Recalling the gentleman's pro found concern for the will ot the people and the welfare of his ie cently adopted county, it senis that he Is subjected to the ex treme hardship and devastating grief of accepting the nomination which represents only a minority of the voters. .. "Doubtless, however, he will be amply compensated by hit pride and pleasure In doing the hl-ld.ng of Walter Haynes, the man he bas to thank for1 his nomination, ard of Don Elia, Mr, Haynes' aide-de-camp."
