' 5 New York, December 22 With three governors, tiwo college presidents, an admiral of the United States navy, a bishop and a distinguished explorer as ita principal guests, the New England society of New York tonight celebrated ita one 4 hundred and first anniversary with a banquet at the Waldorf Astoria. The big ball room of the hotel was decorated with flags and bunting and immediatey behind the chair of Presi dent Austin B. Fletcher was a large framed picture of the seal of the so- ciety. . The toast. "Forefathers' Day,"., was responded to by Bishop " Lawrence; "Sectionalism and Nationality" was the topi a assigned to President Alderman. President' Alderman said that he 'brought the greetings and good will of the old dominion and her daughter stated to New England. He reviewed at length, the elements which -: entered in.to. the make-up of the two people, the puritan, ta' the north and1 the. cavalier inthe south, with the Scotch-Irish strain added, both becoming believers -in liberty-t&e northern branch in indi vidual (liberty and the Virginian in-the liberty of local self-government and i he right to regulate his own affairs. .These . different view points when applied to the negro question brought on the war. ' ; Touching: on state rights, President Alderman said: , "The doctrine of state's rights, as a necessity' of popular government, is ' again engaging the attention of this repuMio. . because mightier forces than war are vital! ins this old issue under new enemies and those who understand . lk m A 'in.va, it rx -A1T nTIf!

There is nothing stranger or. more in teresting in political history than the renirence of this best' loved dogma of the south, unconnected with secession and irnoonf used with slavey, as neces- sary to federal union and human free-., dom. ' - ' ' ' "If; ras Mr. .Root thinks, the struggle is on between the growing power of the federal government and . the decreasing ' authority of the states you can count on the southerner: to be on the side of maintaining the just balance; no American sees -more clearly than he just what is the vital spot in the liberty of a state. I interpret Mr. Root's speech as a prophecy and a warning rather than as a plea for centralization. The drift that way is unquestioned. -Will the states let the drift continue? "When race riot occurrs, there are outcries and loud voices and some sink g of heart, for the wise men know how hard It ds to distinguish between the moral and economic phases of such a. problem as that which produces tnose outbreaks.

Mr. Lassitcr's j 9 I climax was as follows: "Let the platform he for the union . Let ft be broad as political science and keen as self interest. ; Let it be written in a line. It will he buttress?d by forty-six towers where gleam as many stars and every star a state. Necessity will write it in eighty million hearts. Abolish unjust taxation ; tariff reform ; reserved rights of the state and of ths people." - , , . . ;' , He took occasion 4o score the national administration roundly and in cbnclu sion suggested as a way out of possi ble trouble, the nomination of a south ern man for president in 1908. "The strategy of modern t national ists," he declared, "is the indirect en largement of federal prowess. No scheme of taxation is too reckless tow that will pile up the millions, millions used in exaggenitian" national splendor and in debauching the unthinking who hope everything from an overflowing government treasury. , , "We are not here to devise . details, but when one cabinet officer -has his power to lock up fifty millions of dol lars needed in the country's traie, there is something wrong. . "Today the president of the Unitei Ratf forms himself on the model" of Caesar and adopts the manners of mod ern emperors.

Allusion was made to the suggestion of personal intermediaries looking for assistance of the Vatican,-to the prop osition made to congress that the pres ident be given the right to dismiss officers of the army or navy without trial and to fix tenure of office in civil service and the remedy for all thf s was said to be to choose a conservative southerner for president, .

LEASE OF JL & II. C. ROAD VALID Supreme Court Decides in Favor of State. SUSTAINED BY AUTHORITIES. State had Full Power to Lease the Road Court also Decides That it Will not ' Enjoin ' the Building of Bridge Across Pamlico River Oth er Opinions Filed. ; (Special-to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C , December 22. The supreme court; filed the following opin ions: Hill vs. Atlantic & North Caro lina railway from Craven, affirmed; Pedrick vs. Railroad, from Beaufort, affirmed; Keel vs. Contraction Co., from Wayne, affirmed; Sutton vs Davis, from Union,. modified; Holland ts. Railroad, from Moore, no error ; Canady vs. Railroad, from Guilford, re vised ; Hickory vs. Railroad, from Ca tawba, former decree modified; Duck worth., vs. Mull, from Burke, reversed; Bank vs. Hollingsworth, from Bun combe, no error; Hairston vs, Leather Company, from Buncombe, no error; Ledford vs. Emerson,' from Cherokee, no error on each appeal; state vs. Hes ter, from .Rutherfordton, motion to re instate, appeal continued- until next term. ' " - The most important opinion is the case Hill vs. Atlantic and North Caro lina railway writtenb y Justice Walker. It is of great length Hill and the commissiohers of Craven sued to annul the lesser to make The court says the Carolina railway to the Howland Im provemen'tj Company, now the Atlantic and .North Carolina company. The principal - point was whether the lease was' ultra vires or beyond the power of the lesser to make, the court says the case is exceedingly important, but former decisions of this court greatly lessen difficulty of deciding it. If it were an open question it would be very serious problem. -This charter and that of ithe North Carolina railway are pre cisely similar parts of them being copies of each other and the sace thing applies" to this lease. - The power - to "farm out," which is given in the char terv fully authorises the' mating of the lease. The court found in the North Car olina railway case one which was very well considered. After, the Richmond and Danville ' railway had taken oyer the1 North- Carolina railway under ' a lease it changed the; gauge.through the, charter forbid the ' change - but the courts held -the road : which had ' the lease had air the rights ' and privileges granted laUer by this court which; de cisively answered t questions of ultra vires over 30 years ago. Judge Dng, in the court below, while differing from the view held by the court in North Carolina railway lease case, yet held the lease to be valid Judge Walker says the supreme court concurs fully with- him in this opinion. Another case of much interest m North Carolina is that of Pedrick ... vs. Railroadr in which the . court . decides thai" itf will not enjoin- the bu: Idlngi'pf , the" bridge across the Pamilco river :at Washington. The legislatui e authori zed the ..construction of such a bridge and Pedrick and 'others sought tor an- . nul this act of that body. The court. will not interfere in the matter, it is clear that the state has control of its navigable waters and that it has given the right to the railway company to cross the river This court will not, interfere with great : public improve- meents ., which have been ' given full rights in such manner. In case of Can- nady vs. Railroad the court says North Carolina courts will follow the law as decided In other states." CAN'T BE AFFIREM: OR DENIED. Alleged That American Cattle are to be Shipped to Germany, Slaughtered and Distributed Over the Country in Refrigerator Cars. - - Bedlin, December, 22. The Deutsche Tages-Zeitung, ithe most important of the agrarian organs, printed an article today headed "The 5 surrender of Ger many to the American Meat Trust," in which the writer said that information had been .obtained from a trustworthy source to the effect that ithe German- American tariff commission was dis cussing the importation of American live cattle into Germany by way of Hamburg, . iShe slaughtering of the cat tle there and the transportation of the meat to various places in Germany m refrigerator cars. r The paper v add 2d that it also had learned that negotia tions were going on between various Hamburg shipping firms, and the Ham burg authorities concerning the estab lishment . of the necessity technical biddings.'

Stringency of the ; Money Market Said to be the Cause. New York, December 22. The sus pension of the brokerage firm of Ar nold Leo & Company was announced on the stock exchange today. ., L. V. Hubbard, to whom the firm has assigned, issued a statement in w which he said that the assignment was made for the benefit of all creditorsT He said that the firm's embarrassment was caused directly by the stringency of the money market and that he was hopeful that a settlement satisfactory to all the creditors may soon foe made and that the firm will be able to resume business. No estimate of the assets or liabilities was given out The firm has branch offices in the upper section of New York city. The firm of Arnold Lee & Company was established thirty-five years ago by Arnold Lee. He retired from active business some time ago and since that time the business has been under, the direction of his son, Edgar E. Lee. The firm had an office in Philadelphia, where a large business was done.

Mr. Hubbard, the assignee of Ar nold Lee- & Company, said that the Philadelphia, branch was not respon sible for the failure of the firm.

Open Revolt May not Occur for Some Time--Gaino of Cra ft Agaias t v Craft. ' - . (Special to The Messenger.) Washington, December 22. Is ar schism in the republican party immi nent? The question is asked hourly hi Washington, by men high in council in both republican and democratic par ties. Some who ask the question hope the answer will be affirmative. Others dread the possibility. All agree as to the criticalness of the situation. ' That there is in congress, especially in the senate, a powerful faction op posed to President Roosevelt is so well known as to need nooirgument to sup port the- fact. This faction eagerly desires and persistently seeks the pres ident's undoing. It is personally oppos ed: 0k Roosevelt, but more strongly opposed to Rooseveltlsm as a republi- -can creed. It opposes things advocated by Roosevelt -which under other , cir cumstances it might espouse, opposes tthem simply and solely (because they are "advocated by Roosevelt. A good deal of its opposition is under cover, indirectness being, made necessary by the fact. that the country appears to be in support of the president.- . In the matter of the discharge of the battalion of colored troops 'because of . the riot at Brownsville, Eex., the anU: Roosevfelt republicaa senators bolievo they haW a chance to put the president in, a bad light before the country and they havp, taken. -instant advantage of !lt If any - one1 supposed . that all this outcry results from outraged feel ing over an alleged injustice to negro soldierslie is very slinplo indeed. The 'Brownsville affair,', as' it has come to be : iknbwn, is merely ' a pawn, ; and a minorOne at that, 4n -the-big game being played under the dome on Capitol Hill. There is not at the Capitol any genuine i sympathy for the discharged soldiers." It is a game of politics pure and simple, and it Is beink played by a cabaLof the craftiest .politicians to be found anywhere on 'eaittt- vThe 'game that is berngr'played more-" over, is for.tho biggest stake m Amer lcan polltics-the presidency. There is some fear that, should 'there be no check in. Mr Roosevelt's popularity, the 1908 nomination inay be forced upon him; (but it is not especially against this the opposition genators are bend ing their efforts. The thing . they reil ly fear, is that Mr;- Roosevelt may be in a position jto dictate the selection of his successor, and this they are deter mined to prevent They are resolved there shall not be another president of the Roosevelt 'school, if they can pre vent it; and if the past is any index to the future, there is at least an even chance they can. ' . . - ; It is doubtful af the senate combina- i tion has - yet selected a man to pit j a3,vjlist Roosevelt or Roosevelt's choice fcr tne nomination, but there are strong indications, that Senator Foraker, of Ohio, is largely favored. It is admitted there is a substantial element of repub lican votes Senator Foraker could not command, but it is believed he would gain ' enough conservative democratic votes to offset any republican disaffec- tion. ', -:; : v ' It is. this situation that raises the query as to an impending republican schism. The break, if break there be, is not likely to occur at once; because the wise old politicians who are con ducting the senate opposition have no stomach for forlorn hopes, and they will not show their hand until they feel assured victory is within their grasp.
