He then took i up- the vubjeri; in' W state and national aspects, first paying 'his re spects to Carroll's representatives in the .last legislature,' declaring that only one of ' them Mr. f Snader-Mf New Windsor, had voted right He said that although the senator from Carroll has pledged himself In writing In advance to the support of the state-wide local option bill, when cornered he declared that he com mitee was unanimous in deciding not to report the bljl, as It was dead al ready by the vote of the house. He said that this was in direct violation of the senate resolution requiring some report on every bill, and declar ed that if the committee bad believed that the house would kilf the bill it would have been passed -by the sen ate and that it was killed In the sen ate committee because. It was believed that it would pass the house. He has not been able to get a certified copy of the Carroll county local option law. He has a general knowledge of its provisions, and that it is unsatis factory especially in that It does not provide enforce mcnt means. If the legislature had enacted in good faith it would have taken the state bill and given it to Carroll, as was done In Washington eounty. Carroll poli ticians had told ihm that this bill, was passed merely to pacify the peo ple, , " .He said that the league is directly interested in national legislation for two reasons. First state laws canr not be perfectly .enforced until na. tional laws Imake liquor shipped into a state subject, to state laws as soon as it crosses the border. CSucti a . bill has been pending -in congress tor five years and will pass if it can come 'to', a vote.

His men in the legislature acted in direct accord wun nig airections and voted every one of them against the state wide bill. If the state is controlled by those higher up we must gojtfgher up after the fellow who are respon. slble. He then declared that the citi- sens of Carroll are, prcticall)f dis franchised In that the people are not allowed to express their will; ana said that it Is the purpose 6f, the league to enfranchise them andHrej& cor rupt political machines by: developing a frank and righteous . independent element adding that "it is -our" 'busi ness to protect, our friends and those who vote right" : , , v.

The spot market was again j very -quiet today. There are some few buying orders out but the opposing elements are drifting apart somewhat and, while factors are quite willing sellers, they appear just at this juncture a bit more obdurate and refuse to make the material con cessions that buyers, are generally de manding as a prerequisite to Jhe clos ing of trades.

Special to The Sun. Raleigh, N. C, July 14. The"- Cen tral Carolina Power Company, of Raleigh, chartered in the early spring, files an amendment with the secre tary of state increasing the capital from $1,000,000 to $3,750,000 and changing the name to The Carolina Power and Light Company. James D. Mortimer is president and J. G. An. derson secretary. The purpose of the company has to do with the opera tion and general control of the Ral eigh Street Railway system and light and' power plants in this section. A warning to hardware dealers of ftorth Carolina against "under ground insurance that" is being offer ed them through circulars that are being poured into the state by non resident companies seeking to do business in North Carolina without paying the license tax to which the state is entitled is Issued by State Commissioner of Insurance J. R. Yonng.flrt 'alls attention to the fact that North -Carolina business men in suring with these "underground" op. erators run the risk of being power less to proceed against one of them in the state courts if question should be raised as to the payment of any policy. And takes the ground that the act of such concerns in attempting to cut the state. out of its proper reven ue makes it appear likely that they would not hesitate when the oppor tunity presented itself to cut the in surer out of Just recovery. , Wilmington played Raleigh here yesterday for the first time in this Eastern Carolina season.

Umpire, Henderson. , People of other states who use au tomobiles and tour the country in them frequently write the secretary of state of North Carolina asking if there is any license tax on autos In this state as there are In many states and It is evident, Col. Grimes says, that the atate could really derive a considerable income from such a law if it were passed by the legislature, at the same time providing a safe guard for the people and a conven ience to owners of automobiles. It is likely that steps will be taken to pass such a law at the next legisla ture, giving at the same time regula tions that will be highly protective for the people in the rural districts who suffer most from careless hand ling of autos and from fast and wreckless driving. Judge Walter Neal, of Laurenburg, In charging the grand Jury for Wake court appealed especially for the jury to have an eye single to suppressing false swearing in the courts and all attempts to in any way tamper with juries, either grand or petit. These of. fenses are,' he says,' grown all too frequent sot only In North Carolina, but throughout the country. There are no cases of special importance for this term of the court NEGROES STAB BOTS. -?"'''.-'- ' " "' ' : Fight in the Washington Mall Al. Best Race Blot ' By Wire to The Sun. " Washington, Juty 14. The trouble between negroes and whites In Wash. Ington seems to IVj growing more in tense. Last night three young white boys were attacked and stabbed by two giant negroes In the Mall Park The wounded are Garnet Callis, 15 years old, 411 Ninth street southwest; Charles Fridley, 18 years old, 794 C street southwest, and Harry Blane, 19 years old, 609 L street northwest The two negroes said to be respon sible for the stabbing are under ar rest, charged with assault. They gave their names as Robert Hutchlns, 34 years old, of 2150 Newport Place northwest, and Harry Stevenson, 904 E Btreet southwest. The question of right of way Is growing serious in some sections of Washington as a cause of trouble be tween negroes and white. The whites say that the negroes insist upon forc ing themselves on the inside of the pavements, jostling white men who are keeping to the right and often observing no courtesy when ladles are upon the streets and upon the proper side. This was the cause of the trouble last night. The three young boys were passing through the Mall Park near the Medi cal Museum, keeping to the right, when they encountered the two ne. groes. The negroes, they say, were walking abrest and taking up all the pathway. When the two factions came together the white boys moved to the right, but the negroes refused to allow them to pass and sought to force them Into the gutter. Then the trouble started. One of the negroes is said to have provoked the trouble by his abusive and Insolent language, and when the white boys resented it the negroes drew their pocket knives It is alleged. The whites stood their ground and were slashed by the negroes. A riot call was sent to the Fourth precinct. The reserves responded with the pa trol wagon and succeeded, after a struggle, in arresting the two blacks. Callis, with two stab wounds in the shoulder; Fridley, wounded In the neck and 'shoulder, and Blaine, In the face and left hand, were. hurried to Emergency Hospital, where their "wounds were dressed. This case, although of a more ser ious nature than others, is but one of many such affrays that are daily taking place in Washington, and the attitude of the authorities here, who often Inflict heavy punishments upon white men who resent the imperti nece of negroes, only serves to In crease the hostile attitude of the blacks. The District government a few weeks ago compelled the Mount Ver non and Alexandria Railroad Com. pany to conceal their "Jim Crow" signs as soon as they cross the high way bridge entering Washington. Al though not running separate cars for the blacks on this line, a portion of the car Is set apart for the negroes. Some of the negroe leaders of the city protested against the display of these signs, and the authorities com pelled the car company to conceal them. THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS.

ARRESTS AT ANY MOMENT Slayers of Hazel Drew Are Now Known MADE A DESPERATE FIGHT Girl Struck on Head and Then Stran gled With Rope Body Throws la Pond People Greatly Stirred Up By Brutal Crime. By Wire to The Sun. Troy, N. Y., July i4.

"The coroner's autopsy," said Mr. O'Brien, "showed that girl had not been ravished, but that attempt in that direction had been made and there is no reason to dcubt that Hazel Drew went to her death making brave efforts to save herself from dishonor."
