Criticism Of New Bern
Fife Department Is
Viewed As "Unjusf
Both Deputy Fire Commissioner and Mayor of New
Bern Come to Defense of Department Part of
Charges Are Declared to Be Unfounded.
NEW BERN, Dec. 7. N. E.
Canady, deputy fire Insurance
commissioner, and Mayor Edward
Clark today came to the defense
of the city fire department follow
ing the statement Issued by the
State fire Insurance department at
Italeigh which charged negligence
in handling last week's ili'-antious
fire here.
Mr. Canady termed the State
department's utterance "unjust
criticism." In a statement to The
Associated Press tonight, he de
clared the local fire department
had done everything within its
power. He said it was true the
department went outside the city
limits to combat the rtoper Mill
Are. Any other department In the
StHte would do the same thing
when the " necessity acrose, he
stated.
The fire forces were concen
trated at the mill when the blr
fire started, which destroyed more
than a thousand structures.
Deputy, Commissioner YV. A.
Scott praised the quick work of
tne department in reaching the
scene on the West side. He said
there was but little delay. The
New Bern fire department was not
to blame.
Mayor Clark declared the Ra
leigh statement was unjust to the
city, its fire department and ci"-

With the question of increasing
the number of Judges of Superior

la timely, according 1 to those id
broached on the subject, it is be
lieved that state-wide interest will
be shown in such legislation.
Rapid development of us trans-
portatio.i during the past few-
years, with many cities faced with
passing ordinances to handle the
question nta different ordinances
in cities, makes legislation - to
handle the motor buslines one of
state-wicte interest and action '
Imperative-, is asserted.

Commission has general super
vision over all railroad, telegraph,
street railway. Steamboat, canal,
waterworks' and all other com
panies exercising the right of emi

of 1913, wag added electric light,

An act of 192S to inclti'ls motor
bus lines as a public utility, owing
to their rpid development ana
wide use; seems certain.
Taxing of automobile bus trans
portation ilnes which are common
carriers Of freight and persons
will probably be a feature of the
legislation advocated.
Companies and individuals using
the stste highways for profit
should pay the stats, according to
thosei favoring the measure, who
assert that steam railroads and
electrical lines maintain their own
roadbeds, but pay a stats tax on
gross receipts. Motor bus lines

day durlnn the debate In the $115 -
000.000 Treasury supply bill, with
Its item o: $9,000,000 for prohlhl- ' J
turn enforcement.
Startlnr earlier In the dsy when
Representative Mogee. Republican,
New York, a member of the com
mittee which framed the bill, de
clared that defiance of the Vol
stead law was "so prevalent as to
threaten our Institutions," It ended

Hill, Republican. Maryland, ft
leader In the movement for light
wine and beer legislation, had an
nounced vhat he proposed to ofrer
in the form of amendments when
the prohibition section was reached
tomorrow,-
Meanwhile, frltnds of prohibi
tion, overwhelmingly la eontrol,
took one shot after another at
these who sought to attack the
law and by parliamentary methods
cut short Mr. Hill's attempt to con
nect the prohibition unit In a
friendly way with the Ku Klux
Klan.
In urging Congress to give to the
states ths right to say what alco

Gilbert of Kentucky
Attacks the Wet Supporters
Declaring the liquor traffic had
thrived on misery until the people,
handling it as If It were a serpent,
had choked it, Representative Gil
bert, Democrat. Kentucky, eh ou tort
to the House that he waa getting
tired ef the constant attacks on
men who ars trying to see that the
law was oreyed.
"So determined and vindictive 's
the small minority that It stem's
cut in open defiance of the consti
tution,'' said Mr. llbert. -. Taking
up the-c!iS-tjre that crimes against ,
the1 United (States ha increased
since the enactment of the Vol-'
stead law, Mrv Gilbert asserted
that crimes which flourished in the
bar room days and which were
handled 1n the state courts had
deiteased) to the voint where msA
Jails iQ.'urei communities w(l.
empty. t .,'
Half Lzen memberefc.wsre on
their feet at once trying to brk
Irf with questions when Mr. Kill,
with six .minutes (0 close general
(jnbate, proceeded- to - explain th
nature of his amendments,
'In the first place," he shouted
atbve the' hubbub, "I shall pro
pose that the House strike nut of -'
the bill th Item of $150,000 for
the prohtbiton unit' publicity bu
reau; that the sums of from $115..
000, to $160.000 as heretofore
shall not be spent hereafter In
open violation, of the Volstead. law
for the purchase of bootleg Uquof
to be used as evidence; that none
of the government appropriation
shall be used to defray the ex
penses of stump speakers sent over
the countrjs- by ; the prohibition
commissioner."'
All the time Mr, Hill was being
bombarded with questions as to
whether he was trying to tighten -up
the Volstead act.
"I shall also propose to strike
out of the appropriation all funds."
he went on, "for legal advisers,
special counsel to the prohibition
unit on the ground that Its legal
force does not know how to con
strue the law which exists today.
Another amendment provides that
no part of the fund ehall be used
by the commissioner for propa
ganda purposes, in an attempt to
defeat members of Congress, and
finally to transfer enforcement of
prohibition from the treasury to
the Department ot Justice where
t belongs."
Mr. Hill declared that anybody
connected with the government
"who approvea the Ku Klux Klan,
should not receive government
funds for law enforcement."
