Statesville Landmark. After a session of two days, the conference between the legislative commission and the railroad repre sentatives. In Raleigh, which had considered an adjustment ot freight rales as applied to this State, ad journed Wednesday afternoon with out reaching an. agreement. This was the third conference. The first was on February 26. Another held two weeks ago adjourned until Tues day because the railroad people were not ready. When the conference met Tuesday there was no evidence, that the railroad proposed to do anything of consequence and the State made slight modifications In It demands to meet objections offered by the railroads. Wednesday the railroads presented through General counsel J. Norment Powell of the CUnchfield road, a lengthy reply to the final proposal of the legislative commis sion. In this the railroad traffic managers reiterated their position that the North Carolina rales are not unjust or discriminatory as com pared with rates nJoyed by other States In the South, and that the reductions proposed by the legislative commission would wipe out the net earnings of the railroads Involved, bankrupting or seriously crippling all of them. The feature of the amended pro posal of the commission were dis cussed in detail, including the con cession as to zone Nos. 1 and 2 be ing consolidated to avoid putting In a lower rate to North Carolina than to the Virginia cities from the West ... and Baltimore. These concessions were adjudged Insufficient to relieve the situation that they purported to relieve. The railroads declared that the obstacles to the acceptance of the proposal were insurmounta ble. The statement sugested that the proper and lawful course now would be to get the entire issue involved before the Inter - State Commerce ac speedily as possible fcr adjudica tion in a manner that will put an end to the differences. The roads contend that there is no such com petition as will Justify departures from the long and short haul re quirements that the proposition of the legislative commission would require. The statement embraced 1 closely typewritten pages and re quired more than an hour for its reading. There were talks by E. J. Jus tice, E. R. Preston of Charlotte and others, deprecating the position of the railroads and insisting that something would be done. Chairman Travis of the corporation commis sion said he had hoped there might be a chance to get together on some equitable basis of rate adjust ment; but the statement of the railroad oflciala seems to preclude the possibility. He thought it would he folly now to follow the sugges tion of the railroad officials and take up the fight before the Inter- , State Commerce Commission. He favored calling the Legislature In ex tra session and settling tne mat- ter , there. The corporal ion com mission had maintained suits before the inter-State commission and had J already won the concession that the ' railroad ' off lclnls' now wanted to '. appear In the position of conceding, 1 that of applying the Winston-Salem and Durham rates through Virginia cities through the West to sections of the State. Chairman Travis gave the net freight earnings ot the several rail roads in this State Involved, ': to' , show that they can welt afford ' to grant the concessions involved in the proposition of the legislative , commission. The railroads had in sisted that they could not stand the 33 1-3 per cent cut in passenger rate in this state some years ago; but it is now admitted that the roads are making more money than ever on paseengers. , He explained how -the big carriers from the West j and Eas.t are already giving a rate 52 cents less In making the rate to U Norti Carolina points than to Vlr n ginia cities, and yet the North Caro- Una roads,-gettingheir main sup- .. port from the people of thl State, are adding such high rates for their end of the haul as to more than ' overcome te advantages that 'foreign roads would gTant t ;the people of the State.! v c In adjourning the conference Gov. Craig said the people will be dis appointed and many grieved. He i deplored a situation that will cause ' discord and Write I betweea Xorth inn ant that railroads. When th snunrdinn befall the Governor fully believed in the sincerity of the 1 roads, he said; and he did not ac cuse anybody of bad faith, but the ' faHh of those presidents and hlghi officials present at the conference February 2C was different from the faith and spirit represented here to day. The State had simply asked for the same treatment accorded the people of Virginia. "I have seen In dustry after Industry." he declared, "leave Ashevllle because It could not compete with the better freight tates in other States, and I have seen young men forced to leave this State for other sections because of the arbitrary will of a few trans portation companies. It seems that - the time baa come to see who Is sovereign In this territory the peo ple of North Carolina or the trans- portation companies. We will appeal t the people el North Carolina." the Governor told the carriers, "and their Judgment will be just. North Carolinians have built by their own efforts the prin cipal railway lines In this State and have turned theui over to the trans portation companies, and we have furnished these people so much bus iness under adverse conditions that they bve grown rich. The people ot North Carolina will not submit to continued Injustice." Governor Craig declared that be expected the people of North Caro lina to enjoy their rights in a fair and lawful manner and assured the roads that such would be the case. He then adjourned the conference. It was 2:35 when the large company filed out of the Senate chamber af ter giving- the Governor another round ot applause. Asked whether his words meant literally that he would call the legislature together In extra session, the Governor would not. say off-band, but it was the sense of the shippers and others that such will be the case. The conference was attended by many shippers and others Interested from various parts ot the State and the attitude ot the Governor and the legislative commission was heartily approved. Colored Men l'e Themselves for Sandbags. New Orleans, Ma 1. Quick work by determined farmers and a bunch of willing negroes who were thrown into an incipient crevasse in the absence of sandbags today sav ed another disaster along the tur bulent Mississippi river. The doz en negroes who lay in the gap of the Poydras levee, holding back the water until sand bags could be fill ed to take their places, risked their lives, but saved the day when It ap peared hopeless to even try to hold the fast crumbling embankment. The Poydras levee, which Is only 18 miles south of New Orleans, be gan to cave rapidly shortly after 5 o'clock this morning. When the cav ing was discovered the entire . bat ture in front of the Poydras store, 100 feet wide and extending from the levee to the river bank 200 feet out. had caved and a small gap in the levees had gone. The alarm was given and within 20 minutes a score of negroes were brought up by a planter who lives a tew hundred yards south cf the scene. The levee was caving rapidly and when this small force arrived water about two inches deep was pouring over the embankment. It seemed too late to prevent the crash. A desperate chance was tak en when two 12-inch boards were put along the top of the broken levee and a dozen negroes accepted the task of holding It In place. These human sand bags might be taken with the very next slice of the levee, but they held on until a row of bags filled with dirt were put in place behind the boards. Oth- er bags were hastily slipped Into the kod and soon a hundred more nepro and white men were work ing like ants filling sacks and car nine the tilled bans to the gup. Then .withjout warning, the stretch of the levee crown where the human sand bags lay a few mo ments before fell away to depth of 28 feet.. A, second row, of bags held the water back and within an hour 2,000 of the dirt-filled sacks were in place and the caving was temporarily checked and, for the time, the levee was saved. .

J., May 1 President Wilson tonight In two speeches. ere and at Elizabeth, made good his promise to return to New Jer sey to fight for the reforms which were pledged to the people while he was Governor, but which failed of accomplishment since his departure for Washington. The President was greeted with cheers and enthusi asm as he faced the big crowds. "It made all my pulses beat. said the President In bis speech here, "to think that I was to come to this great county ot Essex that wants to govern Itself but does not. ! have come, therefore, not to speak to you but for you. I have exercis ed a great self-denial about New Jersey. . My great temptation in cboslng a summer home was to pitch my tent where I used to. But there is going to be a contest tor Governor of New Jersey next sum mer and I did not want anybody to think I wanted to boss the job. I have no candidate for Governor but I am 'opposed to whomever is desir ed by certain gentlemen. I don't want to see any Governor privately owned. I'm going to New Hampshire next summer, but New Hampshire is In telegraphic communication with New Jersey. Any one who wants to know what I think can learn by asking. HOPEFUL INSTRUMENT. "But I want to say a few words about the Democratic party. I want everybody to realize that I have not been taken in by the results of the last National election. The coun try did not go Democratic In No vember. It was Impossible for it to go Republican, because it could not teU which kind ot Republican to go. The only hopeful and united Instru ment through which it could ac complish its purpose was the Dem ocratic party. There were certain things which we want done, the country said, not certain persons elevated. There were certain things we want demonstrated, such as that the Government of the United States cannot be controlled by pri vate Interests. Now the Democratic party Is going to have a try at making these things successful and If not we're not going to have an other try." The President applied his refer ence to the National election, to the State situation, Inducting that It the Democratic party In the State did not redeem its pledges, includ ing Jury reform, the people might try another political party in the next election. Mr. Wilson declared that when the Democratic party In New Jersey three years ago had come into power, everybody wondered "If the old gang would run It, but It did not." The speaker said that when he was preparing to go to Washington from the Governorship, he was told that "the old gang would come back." CONDITIONS AT TRENTON. "I did not believe it," he contin ued, "until I saw It. Once more that bulky form of the gentleman who used to personally lead the New Jersey Legislature into dis grace, reappeared on the very floor of the Legislature; that great sys- wlth a great snake-like s,' that great sneaking, whispering system had established Itself In Trenton." The President used a quanity of adjectives to describe the "gang" and charged that the system had been so corrupt as to permit grand Juries to Indict at strategic mo ments and they can withhold grand Juries from Indicting when all Is quiet and you know that the mas tery of certain gentlemen in this btate would be Impossible If the things they did were subject to the dispassionate judgment of grand juries. The president was unsparing in his attack on the 11 Assemblymen from Essex County who were op posing Jury reform. "It Is a disgrace," he said, amid applause, "to the judicial system of the State and Union and I come here to protest as a representative American citizen that these things should not be allowed to exist." President Wilson battled hard to night In two speeches at Newark and Elizabeth to wrest New Jersey politics from what he termed a "re sumption of control by Jim Nugent and the old political machine." PUT ON WAR PAINT. Great crowds, frequent Interrup tlons of applause and demonatra ttons of approval greeted the Presi dent when he put on his "war paint," as he described it, and cam paigned In earnest to have the power of drawing Juries taken from the sheriffs and placed In the hands of non-partisan commissions. He also pleaded for the calling of a con stltutional convention and pointed out that It was no longer regarded as a radical procedure to change constitutions in the United States. His two speeches were filled with satrlcal characterization of what he called the "old gang tn New Jer sey" but he made It clear that his fight for apparently a local Issue was made for the rank and file of the Nation. "I km sorry," he said at Eliza beth, "that I should have to come bark to speak words of criticism but I must say that It Is familiar to have the war paint on In New Jersey again. It Is not singular that we should aim ays have to be fighting to get control of our own affairs. "We want to redeem the Juris prudence ot this State, not only of the suspicion but of the stain that men are not equally treated in the courts of law. The political ma chine where it Is misused in this State as in every other State of the Union is where the machine controls the sheriff's office, the citadel of power and immunity from punish ment. If you want to strike at the center and heart of corrupt poli tics, see' to It that you put the con trol ot grand juries Into impartial and non-political bands." THE CALIFORNIA QUESTION. Mr. Bryan on His Way Back to Washington and iovmr Jc.liu Hon Ik. Walling to Hear font the President. Sacramento, Cal., May 4. The California anti-alien land holding act, which passed both houses of the legislature within 24 hours af ter bringing about one ot the most unusual situations in the history of the Nation, will lie on Governor Johnson's desk without his signa ture until Secretary of State Bryan can confer with President Wilson In Washington. This will mean a delay ot nearly a week as Secretary Bryan left here last evening and will not reach the National Capital until Wednesday alght or Thursday morning. Governor Johnson will wait, he says, a "reasonable time," for what ever protests the Government may make, after which he will sign the bill. He is required by law to sign or veto all acts passed to him by the legislature within 10 days of fi nal passage provided the enacting body remains in session for that length of time. TIME LIMIT Of GOVERNOR. It appeared tonight that the Leg islature would not adjourn 'until May 15 or later, which would re quire the Governor to act on or be fore Tuesday, May 13. There Is much speculation here as to the next probable step to be tak en by the Government against the measure. It is generally thought, however, that President Wilson will state his objections once more to Governor Johnson and then seek through diplomacy to answer the possible protests from Tokio. Opinion as to the effectiveness of the art in acompllshing its purpose the elimination of the Japanese farmer is divided. Until the final amendment Was adopted, permitting aliens ineligible to citizenship to lease agricultural lands for three veurs, the measure was most drag tic. Now, however. It is asserted by many that It will accomplish little, in as much as It does not stipulate that the leases may not be renew ed again and again. Unlonrllle Xcws. Correspondence of The Journal. Mrs. W.

UliUXEIL Well Khuhb Citizen of Monnie Ki uml I H ad in Ik (I Sunday Morning Had lUn Slk for More lhan Two Yean Hut Was Up Previouti to His IMith Lt.ug Lived In Monroe and Was Hi'lily Est1 nicd. Mr. C. W. Bruner of Monroe was found dead In bed Sunday morning. May 4th. As It Is generally known, he had been iu bad health a Ions time and had retired from business. On Saturday he had been up and walking about and no such thing had been thought of when he retired as usual that night. About one or two o'clock during the night mem bers of the family had been In his room to see how he was resting and found him sleeping peacefully and naturally. When they went back at six' to call him for breakfast he was In the same peaceful and natural position, but the body was cold. Sometime between these hours he had died without any apparent pain. The news spread quickly and neigh bors and friends from all over town soon began to call and pay their respects, and this continued all day. The funeral was held at' the resi dence at four thirty yesterday after noon; by Dr. Weaver, and was large ly attended. The active pall-bearers were Messrs B. A. Horn, R. A. Mor row, Hugh Hinde, G. B. Caldwell, U. M. Beasky, S. O. Blair, W. L. Howie, and Wrlston Lee. The hon orary ones were: Messrs. H. B. Ad ams, Charles Iceman, W. H. Phifer, W. D. Flow, J. R. English, E. G. Faust, A. L. Monroe, J. T. Shute, B. F. Houston, H. A. Shute, J. M. Belk, and J. R. Shute. Mr. Bruner was 56 years old. He Is survived by his wife and three children, Mr. Claude Bruner, Mrs. Roscoe Phifer and Miss Ola Bruner. He was born in Anson county and was one ot a large family of chil dren, only one of whom, Mrs. L. E. McCullom of Wadesboro, survives. When but a boy be located In Mon roe and for forty years was a well known figure in all the various ac tivities ot the town. He was a man who made very warm friendships and his loyalty to a true friend knew no bounds. For such a one he v.-ould do anything possible. He was a master In the retail grocery busi ness in which he engaged at a very early age, and from this business he made considerable money, which he wisely used and invested. It is safe to say that the death of no man would be more keenly felt he a per sonal loss to more people In Mon roe. Mr. Bruner was a member of the Methodist church and his special work was looking after the poor. For years he was chairman of this committee and anywhere that need was he was there with help, and he g.ivo of his own as willingly nnd freely ns he administered the con tribution of others Trohnbly no man Ins ;er ltv! "n Monroe who worked hardur or trie more close attention t: hla business. But this wag not hecause he loud gain, but because he was of an Intensively ac tive and energetic temperament and loved to do his work well and thoroughly. Not only was ho gener ous In his friendship to others, but he keenly appreciated every act cf friendship or kindness done him. Impelled by falling health, which the best medical treRtn.ent ccuid not stay, he was compelled to give up active business about two years ago. Other members of h's family hud died suddenly and he had long ex pected to go the same way. He went peaceably and calmly, and he will be missed, it will be a long time In Monroe before the name of "Char lie Bruner" becomes words unaccus tomed to the lips of our people. A number of friends from Wades boro, Charlotte, Abbeville, and other points attended the funeral. The floral offering were large and beau tlful. '.'! Marvin School Clotting. Correspondence of The Journal . The. Marvin school under the very efficient management of Miss Jennie Price and Mr. Frank Stephenson, closed Thursday night, May let with a highly creditable entertainment, consisting ot the play, "Diamonds and Hearts," some drills, recitations etc., all of whleh was rendered to the entire satisfaction of the very large crowd who had gathered to witness the closing exercises. Those faithful and efficient teach ers are entittled to great credit for the way In which these exercises were conducted and for their untir ing work during the whole term of six months. They have both great ly endeard themselves to the entire school. The closing exercises were gotten up without the lot-s of a sin gle lesson in regular school work. Here Is hoping to have them both for the next session. While preaching In the First Bap tist church Sunday morning, pastor Crale became ill and was unable to finish his sermon. He was not well enough to occupy the pulpit Sunday night and Jhere were no services at the Baptlsfrcbarch. A Xew Idea on l.lunor Tax. Washington May 3. Nearly the entire expense of running the gov crnment may be met from the in come tax and the tax on whiskey and beer If a bill Introduced today by Representative Vaughn of Tex as. Is adopted by Congress, me Texas Statesman declares that at least 1180,000,000 In annual profits that now go to the brewers and dis tillers can easily be turned into the United States treasury. The plan is to place the Internal revenue tax on malt and splritous liquors at exactly the same figure as the tariff duties on these articles. That would produce a condition whereby foreign liquors could come Into competition with the products of American distilleries and brewer ies on equal basis. The present tax rate on whiskey is 1110 per gallon; the Import duty Is 11.60, a protec tion of 11.60 per gallon to the dis tilleries, according to Mr. Vaughn's calculations. He would pat the in ternal revenue tax at $2.60 per gal lon so that the protective differen tial In favor of the American dis tilleries would be wiped out. He fig ures that more foreign . liquors would be imported and less distilled In this country with the result of reducing the liquor making indus try of the United States. Card From Mr. Waller. I desire to thank my friends ot Monroe for the fine vote they gave me for alderman in the primary last Tuesday. Though not nominated the large vote was very gratifying to me and I want to say that I feel very happy at this token of con fidence that the people have given me. Very truly, M. WALLER WOMEN'S IMMENSE PARADE. A t.rrat Army KfmMBluis All ( iHhsrH Man lied tu Hie lune of .Martial Music. New York, May 3. The voiikji suffrage army marched up Fifth avenue this afternoon' rtt.Oou btroug to the martial music of the auaeii laise, blared from 40 bauds. la uniforms of while, gleaming with yellow streamers they paraui4 la the heat of a midsuuiuier sun for three miles from Wathiugicn square to Fifty Ninth street. A forest of yellow banners appealed for "votea for woman" to an unbroken wall of spectators estimated to Le a quarter of a million. Inez Milholland. riding as. ride a mettlesome chesnut cod, uirectly be hind the escort of mounted police, ' led the marchers. Behind her walked eight girls in blue with silken flags; after them came two women in yellow with Uio suffrage map and iu nlue ' ytliow" states. And then came the long line of the rank and file, marching resolutely, unsmiliugly "for iho cause." Women with snow white hair, children not yet out of romper; girls from Sweden, women from New Zealand, negroes form the northern states, cow girls from Oklahoma; newsboys from the eastside, Wall street brokers these and the arti sans In unbroken lines, eight abreast, disbanding finally at the Fifty ninth street plaza to overflow Into two great mass meetings. The Woman's Political union, thousands strong and broken into many detachments, was in the fore front of the line. Their banners bore many mottoes. Some of them were: "More Ballots, Lew Eullets;" "One . Sex Bears Arms, the other Soldiers;" "Peace and Persuasion!" "Getting there After Fighting 40 years;" "Pioneers Against the White Slave Traffic;" "Let the Peo ple Rule, the Women are People." Throughout the line the was borne aloft on banners the roll of women who have achieved great things. "General" Rosalie Jcnes and her little band of pilgrims that blazed the suffrage way from New York to Washington were, too, clad in their marching togs and heralded by a brags band of boy scouts. Then fol lowed teachers .Biudents, sculptors, decorators, social workers and musi cians. When the latter caaie abreast the reviewing stand thy wheeled, a dark haired girl of 16 stepped from their ranks and blew on her bugle a bar of stirring music. Stopped by the maneuver the line behind marked time while the little group hang the Marseillaise tmid a thun der ot applause. Bookkeepers, stenographers, milli ners, dress makers and white goods workers bearing their motto: "la Union There Is Strength," came next. Then followed the army of the Po litical Equality Association, a thou sand white clad women. The New York State Suffrage association with its banner "Vicotry iu 1S13." Tho New Jersey association, "Victory in 1914." Greek, Jewish, Italian and Syrian societies for nutfrage came i.ext. Toward the end of the line march ed 47 girls, carrying an on 'spread yellow flag, nine-starred upoii which were showered thousands of coins. Brooklyn's thousands came next. Then came the college women, more than a thousand strong, whose mem bers composed the Wellesley, Smith Barnard, Bryn Mawr, New York university, Vassij-, KadcMffe, Adel phta, Cornell and many other uni versities. The men followed and after them came the newsboys. Somebody tossed a coin among the beys at 4 2d street. True to instinct they broke ranks and scrambled for it. Then came a shower of coins, and a two minute block of the parade un til the marshal could untangle the slrugllngling arms and legs. Last came the other states where strong campaigns are going on New Jersey, Conneticut, Massachusetts and Maryland. And last of all was Ohio a sollttry mnrcher bearing aloft a, crepe wrapped legend. What Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch called the "benediction of tho march" was the meeting at Carnegie hall. Dean Summer, of the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul, at Chicago, spoke on "the daw ing of Conscious ness of Women Sex Loyalty." "The suffrage will be yours," he said, "when you have working In your ranks the woman who measures up to some such standard as this: The woman who is willing to give up her time, her energy and her wealth, if she has it, to see that there shall be efficiency and honesty in the administration of public af fairs, and lead In all such move ment, awaiting the time when she shall come Into her rights of fran chise; the woman who wilt give of her best that ail men, women and children ma yhave a fair and equal opportunity to enjoy the abundance ot life; the woman who shall have her ear attuned to hetr the far-off cry of those in want, the groan of ' the sick and the moan ot the sinful, and .hearing the cry, answer; the wo- ' man who will stand loyally by and demand the end of exploitation of her sex by men In vicious marriage relationship, In Industry and In Immorality.
