The announcement of Repre sentative Fordney, chairman of the House ways and . meanB committee, that he will not run for Congress to succeed himself is of some interest to North Car olinians. Persons close to Mr. Fordney assert that he is a little sore at the White House. His American valuation scheme for the tariff bill was dumped over board by the Senate. He was one of the leaders In the fight against Secretary Mellon and Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair. He lea the movement for soldiers' bonus. The Presi dent threw cold water on him.

WilHINOTON 6IA0 tiii AHmi. omw (BY H. g. 0. BHYAST I WASHINGTON, June 26. .Sena tor Overman believes that the re publican leaders of the senate are preparing to pass the anti-lynchlng bill. The hot spell fire from negro political organizational has fright ened Lodge, Frellnghuysen and other prominent Northern, parti safls. "It they do," said Mr'. Over man, "It wiU be a shame,',' "This legislation Is aimed at the South, but with the Illinois ' massacre fresh in our minds we are bound to feel that other sections of the country will suffer from such Fed eral Interference more than ours., "I am opposed to any such leg islation and if it is enacted the Supreme Court will declare It un constitutional." ; Representative Dyer, of Missouri, author of the bill, expects favor able action in the Senate. Two things, the Herrin massacre and the organized demand of negro or- ganizations Is said to have changed the attitude of a number of sen ators.. The purpose of the Dyer bill Is MaUII13 IV OUIIBI WiLUlU uie to assume to" persons within the Jurisdiction of every Btate the equal protectfon of the laws, and to ..i.v. .v,. i. ,!., provides that the phrase mob or riotous assemblage, when used in this act, shall mean an assemblage acting in concert for the purpose composed of three or more persons of depriving any person of his life Without authority of law as a pun ishment for or to prevent the com- mission of some actual or supposed offense. The proposed measure makes it a felony or an onicer oi a oiate and provides for a fine or a Jail sentence or both. Under its provis ions suit can be brought by the relatives of the slain person for damages. The Herrin moo could be -prose- leuted in the Federal courts if the ; ' proposed law were now in effect. Nearo leaders have built poll tical fires ; under Senator Lodge and threatened him with theloss of their support if he does not have the Dyer bill reported from the Ju diciary committee and passed this session. , ."There shall be no side stepping on tills issue," the negro organiza tions behind the demand for this measure assert, "We must have a show, down so we will know just who are our friends." --' , The persistent request and the aggressive attitude of the negro leaders in close States has frigh tened the Republican ppliticans.

MOVE WILL HAVE GOVERNOR'S AID Is Hot Pushing Proposal, But Has Not Changed Attitude on Law. . OITIM NS Ht'llUl! TARRnSfH'OH HOTIL IBt BROCK BAHKLBY) RALEK1H, June 26. Recen' state-wide criticism of the appar- ! ent ineffectiveness of the system of supervision for North Carolina banks has brought again to the forefront advocacy of a Banking Commissioner, making likely the enactment of legislation by the next General Assembly transferring this supervision from the Corpora tion Commission to separate banking department. Political manipulations during the 1921 session frustrated attempts to carry out the recommendation contained in Governor Morrison's message for a Banking Commis sioner. , Events of the last few months Haveiserved to impress the wisdom of this recommendation, and the representation of the pro- j posal as an issue before the nex' legislature is expected to be suc cessful. , - The control of public utilities is looked upon as responsibility of sufficient weight and importance to place upon any one State body Without overloading it with the supervision of a banking depart ment. This department, advocates of the change think, should have Ha own head and be answerable directly to the peonle and not to the Corporation Commission. While not responsible for the re newed advocacy of a Banking Commissioner, Governor Morrison Is known to have the same views he had when he submitted his rec ommendation. Consequently, the movement is expected to have his, vigorous support at the next scs-1 slon. '. 1 Corporation Commission ' Now Has Supervision ' Under existing legislation, the i supervision of banks' is under a department of the Corporation Commission. The efficiency of this department has not been attacked, but the creation of a separate body for this work Is looked upon as a. necessity in order to keep ace with the continued develop ment and growth of the State financially, , - Many bankers of the Stats are reported as favorable to the pro posal. - The banks pay for this supervision, and almost without except!onthey are anxious for It to be as effective as it can made, believing this a protection for themselves, as well as their de positors. Numerous bank failures during the last few months have brought before the public the necessity for more effective supervision. posltors have lost thousands of dollars because of these failures, and the .reliable bankers deplore those occurences. They, therefore, are anxious for any new system that will make supervision more effective and satisfactory and tend to curb the closing of doors and the calling for receiverships. Laws With More "Teeth" Are Wanted. ; ' : . The Legislature is expected to .give special consideration to the banking law generally. Laws with more "teeth" are wanted. More frequent examinations are looked upon as necessary and the banks are wlllng to pay for It. More re strictions upon ths establishment lof new banks, and more minute at-j tention to their operation are ex pected to be included Jn the new legislation. It is charged that there -were numerous polit cai manipulation COMMISSIONER OF DUN HMILU effecting banking measures at the'i,"0110', Cemetery this afternoon. 1921 session. The failure of the I A" body will be left there until bill creating the Banking Commie slon, as recommended by Governor Morrison, failed of paces ge after it had been reported favorably in committee. The banking laws as passed were different i from the bills presented. For one thing, provision for more frequent ban examinations failed to get into the new laws. Other needed pieces of legislation were lacking. Much blame for bank failures during the past year la attributed to the failure otitnuch of the legis lation advocated to get through the two Houses. Ths force of public demands Is expected to. have weight with th enext General As sembly and political' manipulating, especially when banking measures are up, is expected to be relegated to the back-ground, and much at tention' doubtless will be given to the enactment of wiee and neces sary banking laws. !PANI ADVISED YANK ULua-m-rjeo x .viw Mv-vrrri rtTv Tnn l -Bv the Associated Press.)
