Discusses Ways and Means of Raisins Money for an Unceasing Publicity Campaign His Job Unique. Washington, D. C, May 16. Tom Pence, recently placed in charge of the Democratic national committee head quarters here, discussed today with Democratic'" leaders " ways' and means for raising money for an unceasing It will be up to him after funds are raised to see that a Democratic House and Senate survive the 1914 congres sional elections as well as to elect a Democratic President in 1916. His job is unique and if there were no Tom Pence,there would be no such job. The congressional campaign com mittee of past years has been more or less a joke, but . this year it will be a fighting force. And the political ac tivity that has heretofore been fren zied by being concentrated Inthe four months before an election will be spread over four years. And Tom Pence is -the key to the "whole situation. , MITCHELL BILL BE-INTRODUCED. In Senate by Overman and in House by Gudger to Make the Midshipman an Ensign With Pay. Washington, D. C., May 16. Sena tor Overman today reintroduced in the Senate the bill making Stanley Mitch ell, a midshipman, an ensign with re tired pay, and Representative Gudger will introduce the same measure in the House. The bill passed the Sen ate during the last Congress, but a rush of legislation held ifmp in the House. : The case of Mitchell is pathetic. He "was almost through the Naval Acad emy when he contracted tuberculosis and was forced to resign. Not hav ing graduated, he could not be retired as an ensign and could draw no pay. In his case the ruling seemed so un fair that the Senate passed the special bill. . 1 Mitchell, who is a native of Ashe, ville, is in the tuberculosis hospital of. the navy, which is in Colorado. Henderson for Good Roads. Score one for Henderson county, Her enterprising and progressive , citi zens, without appealing to the ballot, have gone on record for a good roads bond issue of $95,000. What this means to the future of this section anybody who can read; can readily determine. It means as almost much for Buncombe county as it does for Henderson, in that it will bring a first-class macadamized highway right Bto our county -line. For this Jatter purpose $25,000 of the total bond issue will be put to work at the earliest opportunity. The Citizens congratulates the peo ple of our neighboring county pn their public spirit. We are not surprised at it, however,' for the good Toads spirit is not a new one "down the line." For the last few years the good roads movement has been steadily growing In Henderson, and the climax was reached last week when the two hustl ing newspapers at Hendersonville. The western North Carolina Times and the Western Carolina Democrat, join ed forces and brought out two excell ent good, roads editions. Each con-: stituted a superb effort, and the two drKea splendid accomplishment. Asheville Citizen. ' Prize, $400.00 Piano. " Miss May Justus, 2.467.125- Prize $100.00 Diamond Ring.

THE CANDIDATES FOB COLLECTOB Peritions Presented at Treasury "De partment by Senate Bules Coramit '. tee. Washington Correspondence Ashe ville Gazette-News. The recommendations and petitions i of Ajix&i friends. of Go1n-A. .HBoyden of Salisbury, Judge W.- B. Councill of Hickory and Garland E. Webb of Winston-Salem,- all of whom are being urged for the collectorship of western North Carolina, were taken to the treasury department by Senator Over man, and left with Secretary McAdoo. Stliator Overman did not indorse ,any of these three men. The junior sena tor has already Indorsed CoL A. D. Watts. " His action was to file the re commendations in his capacity as senator. Secretary McAdoo will not make an j appointment for the much sought af j ter place for some time yet, it is learn ed. He said today that he is too busy to take up this matter Just now, and indicated that it might be a month or more before he got to the collector ship appointment. The secretary, not withstanding the thousands of letters of indorsement filed for ColdnelyWatts, has not. made up'his mind to appoint the Iredelll man. He may have made up his mind to appoint certain men, however. The collectorship situation seems to have simmered down to a question of who the compromise man shall be, for it looks like it must be some man oth er than Watts. Friends of Dr. H. Q. Alexander of Charlotte are urging his appointment, and should the President refuse to name Watts it is believed the Mecklenburg man would stand a good chance. In addition to his strong backing in his section of the country, it is said he has a most loyal support in the person of Clarence Poe, "editor of the Progressive Farmer. Poe is a personal friend of President Wilson. PBESBTTEBIAN CONVENTION. In Big Union Service At Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., May 16.

The point of em barkation will probably .be at More head City and the cruise will doubt less . extend as far down the coast as Florida. The members of the differ ent companies will be instructed - in the handling of the big guns, the sig naling system and in fact everything that members of the crew of a man 'o-war should know.

REPJLY IS CONSIDERED; " , t Its Nature Not Made Public, Bryan Re fussing to Discuss Even the Japanese Protest : , - - , , Washington, May 16. A tentative draft of the reply of the United Statess ' government to the Japanese protest against California land legislation, prepared by John Bassett More; coun cillor of the state ; department,., was considered " for two hours, today by -President Wilson, and.. thegcabinetNa intimation of its nature-was made pub- flic, -Secretary Bryan positively refus ing to discuss either the proposed re ply, or Japan's protest The secretary . made a statement deprecating effort? to guess at the carying phases of offi cial negotiation, declaring that serious mischief might result and satisfactory conclusion be retarded or prevented. He referred to the fact that his present position ""obliged him to - reverse his usual attitude toward public discussion . of current issues. , There: are indications that the state department is awaiting final action by LGovernor Johnson either in the faint hope that he might change his mind and veto the measure of more probably with the . purpose of having the ap proved act as a basis for further dis cussion. The Japanese government likewise is awaiting the governor's ac tion with the keenest interest While protesting against the California le? lation, the Japanese government so far has suggested no remedy. That is left entirely to the United States, and fi believed here that even the Idea of in- . stltuting proceedings to test the valid ity of the Jaw may be abandoned. ; . Meanwhile, taking their cue frond ' the President's ; statement regarding military and naval- movements, offi cials of both the war and navy depart ments today were endeavoring to avoid issuing any orders or statements that would contribute to sensational reports of unusual activity A number of army officers were-ordered to Ha wait- ' but only to Tejoin their commands in.j conformity with the law. At the-navy department Secretary Daniels posi tively denied any connection between the few naval movements recorded during the last 24 hours and the Jap anese situation. He took ' pains to point out that the departure yesterday ' from San Pedro for San Francisco of the big cruiser Maryland was simply in continuation of a test that is being made by that jvessel of Pocahontas coal, which was arranged by the navy department about a month ago. The Maryland will end these coal tests at San Francisco. . The navy department it was stated,, does not intend to send any vessels from the Atlantic to the Pacific now. . MRS. A. E. ORR DEAD.
