Search anil Setare l.aw Will 1'a Primary Kill to be lul in Heller SlwK Tipping Hill Killed Big Fight Over Child Labor 111 1 1 Xhim- ef tlio Big Measure Yet Acte-d Upon. Tbe biggest fight In the legisla ture so far was pulled off in the senate chamber Thursday night when the joint committee of the two bouses heard arguments on both sides of the bill proposing to abolish nigh work In mills by women, and chil dren under sixteen, and to appoint an inspector to see that the law was obeyed. Many manufacturers were there with their lawyers opposing tbe measure and many citizen were there championing It. Mr. Julian S. Carr, Jr., who Is a cotton manu facturer, and some other manufac turers supported the bill. Tbe com mittee adjourned without taking action. The sentiment seems to favor the passage of the Torrens land system or registration. One bill was in troduced In the house and one. in ine senate. The latter provided fcr a special land court and the form er requires that the business shall ! transacted by the Superior court This seems to be the only point of difference and when this is adjust ed tbe bill will pass. The House passed Wednesday the joint resolution from the Senate for the constitutional amendment com mission of five from the Senate eight from the House and five ap pointed by the Governor to foruiu late amendments to the constitution and report to an adjourned or spe cial session next fall or wiuter. Mr, Ooughton declared his opposition to anything but an adjourned session and gave notice that he will in troduce a joint resolution to ad journ after SO instead of 60 days end bold an adjourned session la ter. He is opposed to a special session. The Stewart bill to require the pulling of mileage on trains, the families of purchasers to be allowed to use the two-cent mileage books passed the house on second read ing, after amendments had been adopted striking out the provision requiring mileage to be pulled on trains, limiting family use to wife and children and stipulating that the mileage book provided for in this act shall not displace the inter changeable mileage now In use. A bill by Mr. Orler of Iredell , rould p'.ace electric light, gas, wa ter, telephone, street railway and other pulic service corporation un der the corporation commission. In the Senate a bill was Introduced to place public utility corporations un der the corporation commission. Bills Introduced In the Senate: To allow the people of Jackson coun ty to vote on the removel of the court house from Webster to Sylvia; to allow magistrates a fee of $1 for performing marriage ceremonies; to promote equality of tax listing pro perty. The House resolution to appoint three persons to investigate the At lantic and Western railroad, which Is being built by convict labor, the labor paid for In stock of the road, caused considerable discussion. Sen i'.tor Hannah charged that a fraud - vus being perpetrated. The resolu tlon passed second reading and was re-referred to a committee. The bill to allow the Supreme Court reporter $400 for clerical assistance, which caused the clash between Council and Jones a few days ago, caused much discussion but was passed, 37 to 8. The bill requiring county of ficials who are paid fees to report once a year the amount of fees re ceived, wns pissed after several counties iiad been exempted and one added. Among the bills passed was one to authorize the A. & M. College and Slate Department of Agriculture to co-oprrate so ns to prevent dupll cation of work and expense and pro vide a joint commission for the pur pose. The substitute bill to define cer tain employment as extra-hazardous, abrogate the common law doctrine of contributory negligence, assumed ilsk and fellow servant and substi tute the doctrine of comparative neg ligence, the bill to apply to all cor porations having extra-hazardous em ployment, was re-referred for spe cifications of extra-hazardous work. At a night session the House con sidered the Justice State-wide pri mary bill. There was strong oppo sition to the bill, some who favor a legalized primary opposing the measure as too drastic. Action was postponed until next next day when the bill and all amendments were referred to a select committee of The committee will ask for $150 to help do the work. The committee on liquor traffic favorably reported the anti-Saloon League search and seizure law with certain amendments. It was found that the section designed to stop . luor dealers from shipping Into -qj State and sending bills-of-lading with drafts attached, to bank would also prevent a resident of the State sending hi check to a liquor deal er out of the State. There is an amendment to cure this. Another amendment would make it possible for person to have more than the maximum one gallon of wines, wheie made from home-grown fruits. Bills to allow magistrate $1 for performing marriage ceremony and to require solicitor to appear for defendant In suit for absolute di vorce where no counsel Is retained solicitor to be paid $10, which will be charged in the bill of costs were unfavorably reported. The House committee on health will re port favorably the bill providing for each county to maintain at least one bed and seperate room for tu bercular patients at the State Tu berculosis Sanitarium, at cost not to exceed $250 a year for each coun ty. J nig woud mean free treat luent of three or four huudred pa tients each year. The same com mittee also considered favorably the appropriation of- $25,000 for main tenance and $30,000 for improve ments for the tuberculosis sanlta rluni. Another bill favorably re ported provided for the establishment near Raleigh of a place to manufac ture hog cholera serum, dlpthena and typhoid anti-toxin and small pox vaccine to be furnished at ac tual cost. 1MPOHTAXT LATE XEWS.

Hurrying homeward from abroad with tuber culosls scrum in his possesion that he says Is the first of the widely discussed Friedman culture to be brought to this country, Dr. Austin B. Held, a physician of Pittsburg, arrived on the steamship Pottsdam from Europe today, and at once took a train for his home, where his wife a consumptive, awaits the arrival of what Dr. Held hopes will be a cure for her. , Dr. Held has enough bac- cllll only for -one patient, he de clared. That patient will be his wife. Dr. Held was met at the Quarantine station by Dr. Milton II. Foster of the Mils Inland health service, and questioned In be half of the United State govern tnent about the Frledmann cure. Dr. Held told Dr. Foster he had been convinced of the efficiency of the cure and bad obtained serum to treat a patient suffering from tuberculosis of, the bone. Dr. Frledmann, the German scientist, who discovered the serum last month, was offered $1,000,000 by Charles E. Finely, a banker of this city If he would cure 95 out of 100 patients to be placed under his care. The banker's In terest In the serum resulted from the fact that a relative by marri age suffers with tuberculosis. Xcirro Lynched by Mississippi Mob. Houston, Miss., Feb. 7. An drew Williams, age 35, a negro, was lynched by a mob here early today. Williams wns suspected nf having murdered Mrs. John C. Williams, wife of the deputy chancery court of this county, who was found dead In her home yesterday. She was found In an abandoned pit under th house. Robbery is believed to have been the motive of the crime as a dia mond ring which Mrs. Williams woi was missing. When the mob attempted to take Williams from the jail, where he was confined, he offered desperate resistance, but was finally dragged from the building and lynched to a tree nearby. The negro refused to make a con fesslon. The lynching came after admis sions by two negro women who told to a number of citizens in the pre ence of the local authorities they had seen him enter the Williams home.

This Is the first prosecution undertaken by the Government against a "turst" for the alleged disobedience of a court's mandate under the Sherman law. Despite the decree, the Government declare in Its petition filed in the Inited States Dlstrlc Court that the defendants have employed coer cion, threats, Intimidation and per suasion to prevent manufacturers, wholesaler and retailers from reduc ing price.

A snasm of the throat that left Wil liam Rockefeller a strangling, trembling old man. on the verge of nervous collapse, abruplty terminat ed bis examination by Chairman Pu Jo and counsel, Samuel I'ntermyer, of the House Money Trust Commit tee here today. Mr. Rockefeller was asked lust four questions, all practically im material, before the attack forced the conclusion of tbe hearing. The aged Standard Oil magnate was closeted with the committee just 12 minutes. At the end of the time he was assisted to bis couch by Dr. Walter F. Chapptll, his physi cian, who declared his muient ex hausted. In a plainly, but elegantly fur nished room, in Rockefeller's apart ment in the Summer aDar.ment house. Sans Soucl, on the isolated island that forms the estate of the exclusive millionaire's club of Jekyl island, tne 1 2-year-eId Standard Oil magnate submitted to the questions of the money trust inquisition. There ended the six months hunt of the government process servers, who bounded the reluctant witness from New York to the Bahamas and who lay siege to the New York town house. The net result of the ex amination, so far as the money trust investigation was concerned, added practically nothing of value to the record. It did demonsirate to the satisfaction of Mr. Untermyer and Mr. Pujo that Mr. R-xkefeller was hardly a fit subject physically for gruelling cross-examination on the detail of his financial career. Member of the Jekyl Island club and Dr. Walter Chappell tonight shook their headB doubtfully when asked about Mr. Rockefeller's phys ical condition. "Mr. Rockefeller is in a very se rious state," said Dr. Chappell, He said that a new growth of a malig nant nature had recently formed in Mr. Rockefeller' throat and that serious developments were to be ex pected at any time. Contrary to expectations, tlw ex clusive Jekyl Island club Interpos ed no objection to the invasion ot it private domain by the Congres sional Inquisitor. The club launch met Mr. Pujcfand Mr. Untetmyer at the Brunswick dock and carrlejd them with their retinue of clerks and stenographers to Mr. Rockefel- er apartment, which Is In the same building with those of James J. Hill and J. P. Morgan. A foot man on guard at a locked door greeted them, but they were admit ted accompanied by John A. Garver and A. J. Cravatt, counsel for Mr. hockefeller, and Dr. CltuppVll. ln the apartment were Mrs. Hockefel ler and Mr. Rockefeller's two sons and his daughter. Mrs. McAlulne. The examination was delayed for time by a conference between counsel for the prospective witness and Mr. Untermyer, but the inquis itor were finally ushered Into a irge drawing room, where Mr. Jockefeller, bent and sbakinn with l.e palsy, sat In a large arm chair beside a glass topped table. The trembling hands of the onca active head of the powerful Siaml ard Oil group of tunke"s. s.'ttled on the arms of his chair as ho arose to greet his visitors.
