His first thox mounded one victim, but he succeeded in killing a traffic policeman, in hi tracka. The dead man is Brewer Johnson. The shooting occurred in front of the Cook Tourist Agency, at No. 15 East Jackaon Boulevard.

Two com panies, the Southern Power Company aand the Carolina Power and Light Company, control 75.1 per cent of the developed water power ami 68.5 per cent of the total water pow er in North Carolina, according to a report rent to the Senate yesterday by Secretary of Agriculture Houston. The report was made in response to a resolution introduced at the last Congress, ask ing Mr. Houston to furnish all the information possible as to the owner ship and control of water power sites in the United Slates, and also as to any fact bearing upon the existence of a monopoly in the ownership and control of hydro-electric power. With reference to North Carolina, Mr. Houston foul: "Two companies, the Southern Pow er Company and the Carolina Power and Light Company, control "5.1 per cent of the developed water power and 66.5 per cent of the total water water power. Eight corporations control 94.0 per cent of- the power and 19, 89.1 per cent of the total power. Forty-nine municipalities have 1.0 per cent of the water power and 6 5 per cent of the total power. Since the totals for the State contain a certain amount of power used in manufac tures, the pcrrennge of srictly public service power controlled by the sev eral corporations is greater than above figures indicate." The report states that 18 corpora Cons control more than one-half of the total water power used in public service operations in the 1'nitod i C . - -- . , wics, uii six corporations control more than one-fourth. The character of this control is definite nad com plete. Further relationship through common directions and principal offi cers are disclosed and tabulated. "These data show," says the report, "a marked tendency toward associa tion or community of interests, par ticularly between the principal hold ing companies." BRYAN WORSE THAN "TEDDY" A FELLOW BELIEVES BOTH BRYAN AND K.ITCH1N WILL COME OVFK. "You've heard of William Jennings Bryan, haven't you?" said a man to the News yesterday. The reporter confessed that he had heard some slight reference made of gentleman by that name recently. "Well, 1 regard him as a bigger menace than Koosevelt," he said, "and was right much amused yesterday when 1 read a statement of Bryan's saying that when we prepare for war, the war in question is only imaginary. I have wondered quite lately why asylums are maintained anyway, when we have such fellows as Bryan and Henry Rord roanimg around." The gentleman speaking is a man right much in official life, and prob ably can be taken to represent the sentiment that is back of the Demo cratic party at this time. Taking that as a basis, Democrats in this vicinity are prone to regard Bryan as a good man gone wrong. - "There's another fellow," the man continued, "who is a mighty shrewd man. mat is Ciauue rutcnin. i uon i see why he has kicked up so much nand recently over nothing. But I believe Kitchin will come around all right, and I also entertain hopes that Bryan will Anally line up with all the good Democrats." JUDGE ALLEN HAS A FINE CHANCE (By International New Service.) Washington, Jan. 21. President Wilson, it was said at the White House today, has not definitely made up his mind as to a successor to the late Justice Lamar of the Supreme Court of the United States.

SHOULD BE FIRST IIAVAL FQVER Wood, Inventor, Tells the National Security Congress He Declares That Thia Nation Has No Foreign Policies at Thw Time Country la Menaced. (By International News Service.) Washington, Jan. 21. The United States should be the first naval pow er in the world, Henry A. Wise Wood, the inventor who resigned from Sec retary of the Navy Daniels' civilian advisory board in order to be able to criticise freely, told the National Se curity Congress here this afternoon. In a powerful speech bearing evi dence of most careful preparation he analyzed the present position of the United States, just as he has suc cessfully attacked many an intricate technical problem. lie pointed out what nations were most likely to attack the United States Germany, Japan and Russia. He showed that in their present relative military strengths three na tions are the masters of the United Slates Germany, Great Britain and Japan. For his text he took: "Having masters at seat, we may neither command other nor disobey them." Mr. Wood said, in part: , "Turning now to the subject of cur policies it may be said with accuracy that we have no foreign policies at the motnent. With the destruction of our citizens while upon foreign merchant ships or upon our own mer chant ships we offer no armed ifter ference, nor do' we offer armed inter ference when our citizens, while upon foreign soil, are destroyed, their wives and children outraged, their property confiscated. Futhermore, it is to be iloubted whether at the moment we are willing to enforce by armed in tervention such of our domestic poli cies as are inimical to the interests of foreign nations. If, for instance. the Japnese fleet, conveying troop transports, should appear off the coasts of California, or of adjacent. Mexico, with the command that we abandon our Asiatic exclusion policy or fight, and the Canal were blocked, I doubt not we should instantly aban don our exclusion policy. "Therefore, to discuss a naval policy for the United States at this time seem a more academnic occu pation were it not for certain indica tions which are present that we are about to experience a naion-wide re action of opinion which cannot fail to crystalize into a national spirit, a na tional' spirit finding expression in a definite code of policies dealing with foreign affairs in order to sustain which the United States, if need be, will declare war." Mr. Wood carefully outlined what he thought these policies of the Uni ted States would be. One point of its policy, he said, would be to ac quire naal and military strength suf ficient to make its declared policies effective against any other nation. He continued. "The principal sea powers are Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan, Rus sia, Italy and Austria, ouorselves ex cluded. These nations may be sepa rated into active and passive groups, in so far as the existence of possible causes of conflict between our poli cies and theirs in normal times ia concerned. "For the purpose of this paper I shall omit to consider the frictional ipjostions which as incidents of the present war have involved us in con troversies with nearly all of its bel ligerents. "In the passive group I place Great Britain, France, Italy, and Austria; in the active group Germany, Japan and Russia. . "Great Britain I place in the pas sive group because in normal times there is no conflict between her poli cies and our own. All disputes with her colonies in this Hemisphere have been settled, and elsewhere there are no questions open between us. Never- T i minim in mum ijji....tn io bivcn Dividing -Ambassadors Into Two Camps Was the Scheme Allies Mere Enterained Last Night While All Neu trals Were Invited. (By International News Service.) Washington, Jan. 21. The Presi dent and Mrs, Wilson entertained at the first of the two diplomatic dinners at the White House tonight. It was the first time in the history of the White House that a diplomatic dinner was ever given to a part of the diplo matic corps. It was announced some time ago that there would be two diplomatic dinners this season. The French am bassador as the dean of the corps and the representative of the allies in the United States, as everyone knew would be invited to the first dinner, but it was not known just how the neutrals were to be divided.

Tonight the representatives of the allied powers and the representatives of the neutral countries with only 'a few other guest made up the company of eighty which sat down to dinner at a horseshoe-shaped table in the State dining room. President Wilson and Mrs. Wilson received the guest in the blue room, each one being presented by the aide, Captain Richard Williams. At a given signal the President escorted Madam. Jusaerand, wfcrf the FrenchJ ,fad to such road, in CumW ambassador, followed by the I rench lanil .,. hnt fhllt h. ,lM ambassador and Mrs. Wilson, the other guest falling in behind.

President Wilson was seated at the head of the table with Madame Jusserand on his right and the French ambassador on the right of Mrs. Wilson.

" LOOKOUT FOR BIG FAUt HERE COMPARING CAPE FEAR FAIR WITH THE RALEIGH FAIR INTERESTING. From the report of the Stat Fair, it is learned that the receipts for it last year amounted to a little over $7,001) with an appropriation of pos sibly two thousand from the State, lhe Cape Fear Fair made over Ji.OoO with an appropriation of $100 from the State. The comparison is interesting inas much as it is known that the State Fair has the whole State to draw its patronage from, while the Cape Fear Fair had only this county and a few surrounding ones to draw from. The above is only indicative of the fact that FayettevUle can have a real fair if it is made up from the Cape rear section. lnis wiil be doubly proven this year, the secretary says, when the oiggeot fair ever known will be held here.
