Kiehne of Baltimore is the master of the American shin and af ter leaving the Kitel Friedrich with Customs Collector Hamilton todav he told a dramatic story of his experi ence. With him were his wile and two children. Despite my protestations that I was the American master of an American ship, the German cruiser Eitel Drie.lrlch sank Ihe William V Five on the morning of January 2, blowing a gaping hole tlirounh her vitals with a charge of dvmiinile," said Captain Kiehne. " I was almost becalmed when the German ship appeared about 2 o'clock in the urternoon of January 27. My ship was barely moving and I paid no attention lo the first order from the Dutchman to lay-to. However, she bore down on me and I brought my crart to a standstill. After learn ing that 1 carried a cargo of wheat, the German captain told me that It was contraband and he intended in destroy it. I protested, but no at tention was paid to my Hlateinenls. a t.ernuin officer and squad of men was sent aboard the bark and I anu I and my crew were set to work inrowing the grain overboard.

"It was originally (he Intention of ine i.erman captain to leave enough of the cargo In the hold of the ship lor ballast. That part of the grain was to be ruined by salt water. As soon as I was informed that my ship was to be sent to the bottom, I, my wife and two boys and the crew made lor the German cruiser in our boats. We were taken aboard and shown every courtesy through out the remainder of the voyage. "For two weeks before making this port the German ship molested no snips ol any kind and always avoided them, not wishing to give the English cruisers any wind or her intentions, She proceeded slowlv nn iho .-nuui lal lights that were not out helm? careiuny snaded.

Mr. McXeelv said: The LtBislature of 1915 did it work conscientiously and patriotical ly, having always in mind the best in terests of all the people of the State Ihe chief legislation enacted was the htate-ttide primary law. the law to limit -liiimients ar.d receipts of whiskey, the Stale-wide lish law, the rural credits asked for bv the Farm ers I nion. the law providing for sec ona sines or land under mortgage wnere tne hid is raised within ten days after sale, the act providing for a State highway commission, the one providing for revising our system of court procedure so as lo exnidite Iri als in our courts, and the revenue and machinery acts. The Mate-wide primary law nro- vmes ior the holding of a nrlmurv on the tirst Monday in June in each election year for the nominations for all Mate and district offices for all political parties. In the same prima ry all county nominations will be made In more than half of the coun ties of I lie State. The I nion county delegation tried to have the primary in Aligns instead of June so as to be most convenient to the farmers, hut the majority of Ihe Representatives and Senators In the Legislature thought that it ought to be held in June prior to ihe time of naming del egates to the national conventions On accoui t of the time of holding the primary Representatives Long and ann excepted I nion county from Ihe provisions of the act, so that the primaries in this county u.a be held under Ilif existing law in August.

"The prohition law that passed re ceived the unanimous vote of both the Hoiiy" and the Senate. Every body In ihe Legislature desired to se cure the enactment of a law to cany out the provisions of Ihe Webb-Kcn-yon act and to prevent the shipping of whiskey into Xorth Carolina lor unlawful purposes. The bill which passed was drawn by the Attorney General of Xorth Carolina and sever al of the ablest and best lawyers in the Slate who wanted lo make a law that would be both constitutional and consistent Willi the wishes or the people. Rev. R. L. Davis, the head of the Anti-Saloon League, offered a bill at tirst v Inch was refused by both houses hetore action was takeii on the ;:rouiuh that it provided lor the sale of w hiskey in all dure stores Next he offered a bill through his representatives on the committee to prohibit the shipment of a drop of any sinritous or vinous Honor into .ortli ( arolma except to churches for communion. The House struck out the exception and passed the bill. The members of Ihe Senate thought thi 1. : 1 1 . . dim so niasiic as io ue not onlv un constitutional but both likdy localise the moonshine distiller to flourish and Hie democratic pany to decline.

Davis, to try to scare the people Ik.ck at home and niaii" them write their Senators, circulated tho report in each Senator's district thai all depended on their Senator and thai lie was afraid that such Sen ator was going to try to kill the bill by some substitute or amendment. I considered this unfair politics, for it had the tendency to stand the Sena tors in bad with the Tolks back at home who had not seen the bill, I reel that the act passed will both serve the purpose and l held consil tuti(.iial I Ml Hill Important.

Kverv l.e isiature lor a generation has been confronted with Ihe fish tiuesllon The Legislature of lflOit discussed Ihe fish hill for thirty days and. like all previous Legislatures, failed to pass il. Without fish legislation the tish ing industry along the coasts of Xorth Carolina would soon have been destroyed forever, and it is un Indus try that means millions of dollars to the Slate.

"The Revenue and Machinery acts w.re Imii the most thorough con sideration by the Finance Commit tees of both Houses. Representative Vann m a member of the sub-com mittee ol Ihe Finance Committee from Ihe House and I was on the sub committee of the Finance Committee from the Senate that drafted these acts. This mork consumed even min ute of spare time tor the greater part or the session. The State tax rate was continued the same as last year. we opposed any increase in taxes This being a year when ihe lands are to be re-assessed we provided for ihe county commissioners to appoint one or more assessors in each township 10 nsi me property and make the as sessments. ir only one tie appointed 10 ine township it will save in ex pense about 1150,000.00 to the sev eral counties or the State.

Lvery person in the Legislature seemed to have uppermost in hi thoughts ihe welfare of Xorth Caro lina, and there was very little play ing of politics and very little, lobby ing, i nose who came before the committees in the interest of legisla uon came as the advocates of ihe leg isiation proposed or attorneys for the advocates. kepresentative Long aeuuitted nimseir as a conscientious legislator, and Kepresentative ann won an en viable reputation as one of the ablest anu best lawyers and legislators in the entire House of Representatives .No county measures of import a nee were passed.

Of ficials considered it probable that the German Government, after being i. re prised of the facts, would admit the error of the naval commander and agree to make the usual reparation. Some officials thought sufficient amends, after the payment of dam age, would he the court martiaiing of the German officer. It was made clear at the State De partment that whatever action would he taken as a result or the sinking o;' the Frye would be entirely disasso- ialed from questions arising out of Ihe entry into nn American port of the Printz Eitel desiring time for re pairs.
