ly, the movement was regarded as ev
idence of the restoration of order be
tween Tuxpam and Tampico.
The Madero refugees were trans
ferred late last night to the scout
cruiser Chester from the , battleship
Rhode Island and the Chester sailed
for Havana.
With the full realization that there
probably can be no immediate devel
opments in a doplimatic sense pend
ing a clearing of the Mexican tangle
in which the Mexican congress has
involved itself, interest is now center
ed in the naval situation on the
gulf coast.
The approach of two British cruis
ers was communicated to the state
department through the British em
bassy without eliciting any expres
sions of disapproval and that is
taken at another evidence that the
United States and Great Britain are
acting in perfect harmony as to na
val forces to protect foreign inter
ests. It is pointed out in naval circles
that wiih German and French war
ships in the same waters there could
be no objection to the presence ot
British ships.
Unofficial advices from the govern
ment agents in the sections ot Mex
ico where the constitutionalists are
operating suggests a revival of a
plan , to seek recognition from the
United States for a defacto govern
ment claiming jurisdiction by right
of possession; the establishment of a
capital and of an organized adminis
tration in all that part of Mexico
north of a line drawn about due west
from Tuxpam or Tampico.
So far, however, the local constitu
tionalists representatives here are
unwilling to admit that General Car
ranza would ' be satisfied wfth any
thing less than a conquest of the
whole of Mexico and the elimination
of General Huerta.
REAL BAD BOYS
WERE SCARCE
By Associated Press.
Pittsburg. Pa., Nov. 22. Jack Rob
bins of Chicago, president of the Glen
wood National Fellowship Boys' Club,
who came here yesterday to inspect
bad boys, examined 45 of them and
found "there wras not a "real bad boy"

make them useful citizens. It is said
the club has over, half the boys.
Out of the 45 "worst7' boys here 21
are working, nine have jobs and 15
go to school. The average wage of
the 21 is $7 a week. Two have bank

other is paying on a mortgage on his
father's peanut stand. Five of the
lads go to church every Sunday and
seven once in a while.

.JAN USE OF
ZEPPELINS NOT
By Associated Press.
Berlin Nov. 22.-The two disasters
to Zeppelin airships in September and
October are not to result in checking
the use of these craft in Germany
i11! Is decision apparently reach
fw C -!e v,:rnment, the concerns
that build airships, and by what mav
be called the earial traveling public.
The recent fatal accidents in the
Aofth Sea when 14 men were killed
and at Johannisthal, when 2S persons
lost their lives, have not reduced the
number of sailings in the vicinity of
Berlin of the Hansa, statione d at Pots
dam. This airship is still making two
trips daily, and only recently it cele
brated its three hundrpHth flight at-0
over, the German Airship Navigation
ompany, who owns the Hansa and
two other airships, is preparing for
a much more extended schedule of sail
ings. To the company's eight stations,
located at Potsdam, Hamburg, Dussel
dorf,. Frankfort, Baden-Baden, Gotha,
Leipzig and Friedrichshafen, are to be
iuuea eignt more at Emden, Bremen,
Hanover. Brunswick rireodon e,if'
gart, Munich and Copenhagen. It is
aiso intended later to establish stations
at towns in the more eastern part of
the empire, such as Breslau, and
probably at Dantsic and Konisberg.
From a recent issue of the "aerial
time table" it appears that regular air
routes and fixed sailings will be main
tained. Between Friedrichshafen and
Copenhagen the airships will sail eith
er via Hamburg and Brunswick, or by
way of Brunswick, Potsdam, Leipzig,
Gotha and Stuttgart. Another line will
connect Dresden and Hamburg by w-ay
Potsdam and Brunswick. Vessels trav
eling betwen Bremen and Emden will
ioiiow the same course as far as
Brunswick. Between Dresden and Dus
seldorf the route will also be by way of
Brunswick. The last named city is
thus to be a sort of central station
for the whole system.
Owins to the laree number of sta
tions that eventually will be in op
eration, it is expected that the air
craft will be able to find readv refuse
when surprised bv bad weather. Most
of the stations are constructed to ac
commodate two ships.
The population of Berlin is decreas
i -ir. Not only-aje-the-laboring-classes
moving out to the country to find work,
but the wealthy are forsaking the city
for- more pretentious homes in the
nearby suburbs. The exodus has been
so steady during the past eight months
that Berlin today has over 41,000 less
inhabitants than it had on March 1.
The present year is the only one to
show a decrease in population since
1873. For six years past the rate of
increase has been comparatively slow,
but as recently as 1906 there was a
gain of 54,000 in 12 months. Now the
tide has turned the other way, and
the municipality is alarmed over the
departure of 19 millionaires, in the
German sense, in the three months
ended June 30. The city's tax receipts
are correspondingly reduced.
The loss this year appears to be
not wholly due to the movement of the
people into suburban towns, for such
prosperous neighbors as Charlotten
burg and Schoeneberg also show small
losses, and the gains in other adjacent
municipalities are not large enougn to
account for the removals from the
capita!. The demand for labor in
Greater Berlin this year has been very
slack, and in spite of the emigration
to fields where work can be secured,
the number of the unemployed is as
suming alarming proportions. Even the
building trades, which normally em
ploy many thousands, report very
limited activity..
W. W. Husband, an agent of the Unit
ed States department of commerce
and labor, has. just returned to Ber
lin after an 8,000-mile trip through the
interior of Russia, investigating the
conditions of Russian emigration to
the United States on the spot.
The work of Mr. Husband's indi
cates the attention paid by the depart
ment to questions of this nature. Emi
gration of the orthodox Russians, in
distinction from the Russian Jews
wht have for years made up so large
a portion of the stream of human traf
fic to the United States, began only
recently and the department empower
ed Mr. Husband to make this extended
trip to discover the conditions which
were leading them to seek the United
States- whether they were being in
duced 'to do so against the provisions
of the law on contract labor, and
whether they would probably form per
manent elements of the American pop
ulation It is understood that on the
first point a satisfactory answer was
received It would appear, however,
that these Russians emigrants like
many of the Italians, go to the United
States only with the intention of re
maining long enough to hoard upj
little fortune which will enable them
to return and live in comfort in their
home country. . ,
Mr Husband was accompanied on
his trip bv Samuel Harper, son of the
late president of the University of
Chicago, as interpreter. He is now
starting for the Balkans on a similar
trip of investigation, and hopes that
conditions have now become sufficient
ly settled, after the wars, to enable
him to get the information desired by
the department. "

Final Day Of
Labor Meeting
By Associated Press.
Seattle, Washn., Nov. 22 The final
iday of ;e American Federation of
Labor Convention opened -.dth the re
port of the committee on resolutions
requesting a federal investigation of
charges that Michigan copper com
panies obtained possesison of land il
legally. A resolution disposing of
the split in the Brotherhood of Elec
trical Workers recommended refer
ence to the executive council.
The election of officers, fixed for 3
o'clock this afternoon, was the en
grossing topic. Second Vice Presi
dent John Mitchell announced a year
ago that he wished to retire from of
fice. When he arrived in Seattle to
attend the present convention he
learned that a combination of conser
vatives had been formed to prevent
him from naming John P. White, pres
ident of the United Mine Workers, s
his successor.
Mitchell took smart part in the con
vention but he campaigned for White
so well that on Thursday night it was
said he had promise of votes to give
him control of the entire administra
tion if he wished, including the choice
of himself as president to succeed
Samuel Gompers.
Mitchell" had refused up to today to
discuss his position but it was known
he was reluctant to display Gompers
and that he had been asked to take
the presidency at the 1914 convention.
In the balloting John H. Walker, a
socialist, held the 3,708 votes of the
United Mine Workers of America, one
fifth of the total vote of the conven
tion. The Western Federation of
Miners, the Brewery Workers, the
Printing Pressmeh and th . Machinists
were c unted on to vote as Mitchell
dictated.
. It was said to be the purpose of the
radicals to stampede the convention
for Mitchell; who is the only industrial
unionist on the present executive

HE FOREST SET
EFEATINE
DAVIDSON
Special to The News.
Wake Forest, Nov. 22. With only
three days more of practice left before
the final clash with Davidson in Char
lotte on Thanksgiving Day, the foot
ball team is displaying the best form
seen this vear. This week's "practice
is secret, but those who have been
permitted to see the work ot the team
this week do not hesitate to predict a
victory for the Baptists. The coaches
have put the 'varsity through an
hour's scrimmage every day this week
with the exception of Monday when
the work was light.- The line men
have been working on the bucking
machine each day. . Savage, who for
the first time this esaon, is in prime
condition, has been devoting a good
deal of time every day to kicking and
has been averaging good distances on
all of his punts. It is expected that
he will show better form in this de
Thanksgiving than at any
other time during the season. Captain
Carter, who in the eany part ot cue
season was shifted to tackle, is back
at his old position at center and it
is expected that Powell and Moore
will plav the tackles in the big game.
Cuthrell and Harris, who have both
been out of the last few games on
account of injuries, have both report
ed and while they have not engageu
in any of the scrimmages as yet,
are expected to start at the ends
against the Presbyterians. Both Bill
ings and Daniel have been playing in
good form at quarter and while Coach
Thompson has made no announcement
of his selection, the former will prob
ably start. Lee, who made a splendid
showing in the Gallaudit game, is ex
pected to be Trust's running mate in
the backfield. On the whole, the team
is believed to be in the best of con
dition and able to win Thanksgiving.
At the same time the coaches are fully
aware of their opponents' strength
and realize from past experience that
a game is never won from Davidson
until the last whistle. .
Chief Rooter Pennell has announced
that over two hundred students will
make the trip . to Charlotte, ..headed
by the college band.
The team will have their final prac
tice Tuesday and will leave Wednes
day for Charlotte, going straight
through. Manager Goode announces
that this year the team will be quar
tered at the Selwyn. The special train
carrying the rooters will leave here
early Thursday morning and will ar
rive at Charlotte at 11 o'clock.

Special to The News.
Salisbury, Nov. 22. While handling
a gun. preparing to go hunting, a young
white boy named McKinnon, 13 years
old, shot and killed a negro boy about
his own age at the home of George
Hendrix "In Davie county yesterday.
The shooting is said to have been
purely accidental.
Postmaster S. J. Smith, of Porters,
Stanly county, was arrested by Post
office Inspectors Hodgin and Lemen,
charged with rifling mails. He was
caught, according to the inspectors,
with marked mail on his person. Bond
in the amount of $500 was arranged
here, Mr. Smith being "bound over to
the April term of Federal court in Sal
isbury. Will Iddings, who is held on the
charge of impersonating an officer and
holding up a Salisbury letter carrier,
will be given a hearing next Tues
day. - Thursday and Friday have been ta
ken up in superior court, and a night
session held, in the trial of a case
against the Salisbury Ice and Fuel
company on the charge of short
weight, the main prosecuting wit
ness being a competitor in the coal
business. It is one of the most inter
esting case to be tried at this term.
At a meeting of the county com
misioners today it was agreed not to
pay any more money to the contractors
building the court house until they
signed an agreement that such pay
ment was not to be taken as accept
ance of the building.' In view of this
action the cases against the commis
sioners were continued till next term
by Judge Long.
A reward of $100 is up for the arrest
of the first person to be convicted of
turning in false fire alrams. A false
alarm was sent in at 3 o'clock this
morning.
A real estate transaction of some im
portance was the transfer of the hand
some home of T. J. Jerome on South
Fulton street to George W. Wright,
the consideration being $10,000.

imposed a sentence of two years on
A. W. Hicks who was found gtiilty of
false entries while cashier of the

was taken and the' tvond was fixed at
$5,000, which was given. Many prom
inent citizens of Salisbury and Spen
cer appeared before Judge Long and
testified to the splendid character of
Mr. Hicks. He has a wife and six
children and since coming to Spencer
some years ago has been one of the
leading citizens of that place.

Buck Trollinger, who appealed from
a heavy fine in the county court, the
charge being an affray at the South
ern hotel, in which he all but killed
another young white man named
Woodrum was found not guilty.
The grand jury in its report to Judge
Long takes a fling at Rowan's new
court house which is nearing comple
tion in these words: "We desire to
express our disgust at what should
have been a grand and noble structure,
to see its beauty disfigured and marr
ed by inferior material and had posi
tion. We had hoped if the court house
had to be built it would have done
credit to and been an advertisement
for Rowan county granite." Judge
Long referred this report to the com
missioners with special instructions
to guard the county's interests in the
matter.
Col. H. B. Smith, president of the
Salisbury Culvert Company, has re
turned from Indianapolis to which

PRINCEKAIK
LAST OF THE
By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 22. The death of
Prince Keiki Tokugawa, announced in
a brief cablegram from Tokio today,
severs a connecting link betkeen the
old and new Japan. None of the con
temporaries of the pre-meijiera of the
days of the Shogunate enjoyed such
distinction as hedged about Prince
Keiki, "the last of the Sh
i In these latter days of the era of
eimgntenment in Japan it is doubtful
if the average foreign visitor or even
resident was aware of the 1 unobtru
sive existence of a man who barely
50 years ago was the de facto ruler
of Japan.
In contrast with the unassailable
dignity with which he sat as the lord
of lords in the feudal days when it
was a capital crime for ordinary folk
to look the Shoguns in the face and
when he could scarcely stir a step
without the observance of a high
bound code of solemn ceremonial
the Shogun in his modern role of
prince adopted such democratic sim
plicity that he rode about the streets
of Tokio almost unnoticed on a bi
cycle. As Shogun, or the hereditary com
mander in chief of the army, he wore
the odd dress of the Samurai with
wing-like projections over the shoul
ders and two swords, one long and the
other short. Amid twentieth century
surroundings, living as a somewhat
retiring old man, he discarded all the
pomp and even on state occasions ap
peared in an ordinary frock coat.
He held his exalted office as Shot
gun for nearly ten months in the
year 1867-8: During the Ghogunate
preceding him Japan had enjoyed an
unbroken interval of peace and tran
quility for nearly three centuries Ef
forts made by Emperor Mutsuhito to
re-establish the imperial authority led
to such internecine strife ' that it
threatened to exhaust the nation's
resources and Keiki voluntarily ' ab
dicated and restored the powers of
government to the imperial throne.
CLAIM AGENT
1UST EXPLA
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Nov. 22. R. J. Chester, of
Mobile, Ala,, claim agent for the. Mo
bile and Ohio railroad, yesterday was
ordered "to be in Chicago Monday to
explain to Federal Judge K .M.. Lan
disfhow lje induced Mrs. Mary Panek,
a widow, to accept $750 for the death
of her son Edward, a United States sol
dier.
Panek, with others, lost his life in a
wreck near Buckatumna, Miss.,- Oct.
16. Mrs. Panek sued the railroad for
$10,000 and when the suit was called
Mrs. Panek. notified the court she had
settled with the claim agent.
"I got $750," she said. "At first the
agent offered $400 and gradually rais
ed until I thought that if I didn t take
$750 1 would not get that."
"Seven hundred and fifty dollars for
a United States soldier" ruminated
Judge Landis. "I would like to know
how the claim- agent petsuaded this
woman to accept $750 for the life of
her son. Chester must be hefe Mon
day.""
Attorney Jeffrey said in defense of
the settlement that the mother had
told him the son never had been any
support to her and that when the road
offered $750 she was glad to accept it
in lieu of a long course of litigation.

SHUNS, DEAD
Reports From The Divided
Banking Committees Are
Submitted to 7 he Senate To
day How Reports Differ.
Chairman Owen Announced
He Would Open Debet
Monday -DiQe rtnees In
Committee Are Reviewed "in
Report
By Associated Press. "
Washington, Nov. 22. The final leg
islative battle for President Wilson's
currency bill began in the senate today
with the presentation of reports from
the divided banking committee. Sub
mitting a report for the administration
democrats Chairman Owen gave notice
he would open debate Monday. This
bill follows closely the line of the
house measure and contains only such
amendments as President Wilson was
willing, to accept.
Senator Hitchcock, democrat, and
the five republicans submitted a draft
materially changing the bill and propos
ing four reserve banks owned by the
public and controlled by the govern
ment. Both sections of .the committee
agreed on concentration of reserve's,
their volume and mobilization, the vol
ume of the capital of the propose c
banks, promotion of an open discount
market, provision for elastic currency,
the issuance of federal reserve notes!
that the federal' notes should be obli
gations of the United States, that the
system should be a regional federal re
serve bank system instead of a central
bank; and upon the control of the
system itself by the government.
The report of the ' admtnistratioc
democrats reviewing the difference it
the committee concludes:
"These differences arise in the main
because of two schools of thought, one
part "of the committee believing in t
central bank administered by a centra
board and the other part of the com
mittee propo'sing to establish a numbei
of comparatively independent district
banks administered by boards of direc
tors chosen from the several districts. ';
'The report submitted by Senatoj
Hitchcock declared many amendments
it recommended had been endorsee
in the entire committee before the ad
ministration and" anti-administratior
forces separated and added that its
signers were generally in favor of
government owned central bank.
"Waiving a strong preference which
prevailed in committee in favor of c
single government bank with branch
es," said the report, "we accepted the
regional bank plan as the only hope
ful outlook for action by this congress
but retained the amendment substi-
tuting four regional banks for twelve.
While the single government bank
plan would produce the only perfect
mobilization of reserves, as has been
demonstrated by the experience of oth.
er countries, the adoption of four
regional banks under a single control
will, it is thought, approximate this re
suit and, in a country so large as ours,
with so many banks, probably prove
efficient."
Senator Hitchcock will speak fol

The presentation of the divided re
port today placed before the senate
without amendment the bill as it pass
ed the house. The amendments re com
mended by the two wings of the com
