While it was stated to ly that the suggestion of Mrs. Rus H's name cajne from the state chair tan there were some people who were fsposed to doubt this story. It was jainly set forth that Mrs. Russell was $t a candidate for the office in any Insa of the word, and that her name TDuld not be considered unless it iould develop that there is no hope of tiss Darby's appointment. It was said ;at ex-Governor Russell is Miss Dar- y"s friend in the post office fight and vdll not pursue any course unless ajreeable to her. It was pointed out that Mrs. Russell resides some miles from "Wilmington n.iid was thus eliminated as a possibil ity, a strict rule being in. force in the department which excludes persons ffom appointment who are non-residents. The answer was made that Mrs. Russell is within the delivery ol the Wilmington office and thus elig ible for appointment; that while, she was not strictly a resident of the city, yet she is in the sense that she receives "her mail there. ' . Ex-Judge Robinson, the national committeeman, who has recommended Miss Darby's appointment, Ex-Qover-r.or Russell and Ex-Senator Butler were in conference today. It Is said that the Wilmington contest was unde con. Iteration. State Chairman Rollins wired Judge Ilobinson today that he would be un r.Sle to reach here at this time. The ivio lenders of the state organization T.ill meet here soon &nd' finally pass on this and other contests. Ivf-'re leaving Washington, Judgt H6Vnn?on took occasion to say in un-v-istakable language, that so fa.r as he ' dew. there was no understanding be- . ae u . trie t een th " ir.iziitior le administration and the Or ion in the state for the election I Ex-Congressman H. G. Cheatham I any other negro as a delegate at ts0 from North Carolina to the Re I tforther Ii !s Contended That the Mer ger Is Lawful if It Does Not Appear That the Effect Is in Re straintof Trade ..' "ar-hington, Dec 14. The supreme trt of the United States this after- fcn began hearing arguments in the of the Northern Securities Com fy, the great Northern Railway, the K h-rn Pacific, James J. Hill, J. r-po at Morgan, Daniel S. Lamont fa others vs. the United States, com- X to this court on appeal from the fi?lon of the circuit court for the ft riot of Minnesota. . The decision p to the effect that the purchase of greater part of the . stock ot. the lway companies constituted a mert and was contrary to the Sherman :i-tru?t law. The case involves the r.munity-of -interest principle, 'here has been much interest In the e, nnd when it was called today the irt room was crowded, both inside 1 outside the bar. Attorney General ox was present with quite an array assistants from his office, 'while the i'wtion also was represented by a K lift of distinguished counsel, In king former Attorney General ?TS", John G. Johnson of Philadel jk J. W. Bunn and Charles B. - tone. Justice Brown was the only r sb.b -r of -the court not present. fhe hearing began at 12:30 o'clock 4 John O. Johnson of Philadelphia, frfsrnting the North Securities Corn- made the first argument. He iounced that the three railroads and i jkrgumeni Settle the publican-National. Convention. Judge Robinson was disposed to minimize the" effect of the story, which was given out by a well known Republican last week. " - It was stated by a western Republi can, who was here yesterday, that the administration, through the federal of ficeholders, wxnildl be unable to control the next North Carolina Republican State convention. While he thinks that the delegation will instruct for Roose velt, negroes will cut little ice. This view does not generally obtain among Republicans. The fate of Alabama Re publicans is impressed on them. There Mr. Roosevelt turned down the organi zation for asserting a little independ ence and filled all offices wlti a new element. , The action of Judge Robinson in re fusing to attend Senator Hanna's ban quet because of -the presence of Judson W. Lyons, the negro national commit teeman from Georgia, continues to be a topic of general conversation. The effect of his refusal to subscribe to the social equality function of the Repub lican party is freely commented upon. North Carolinians are -of the opinion that the judge had injured his politi cal standing as a Republican in the state, but are inclined to take the view that he has strengthened himself with the white people. From a national viewpoint he-did Injure himself. That is as a Republican. Should Judge Robinson ever aspire for an office at the hands of this administration the fact that he refused to break bread with a negro would be used against him, and probably successfully. Friends of the national committeeman say that he has no aspirations for a federal ap pointment and that the administration will never have the opportunity of re buking him for his action Saturday night. One North Carolina. Republican said today: "The Republicans of the state will applaud Judge Robinson for refusing to sit down at a table with a negro, He will not suffer as the result of his action, and you can just bet that he will be re-elected national committee man' with unanimity. As Republicans we have to stand by Mr. Roosevelt, but even the president cannot force us to discard our self-respect. We will not follow him In his negro policy." So far . as 4 can.. fee,,,, learned " Judge Robinson is the only, .member of the national 'committee who refused to eat with the negro. The other southern members were not in a position to as sert their independence. Those who are not asking for office are dictating Ihe patronage in their own states, and this fact kept them from doing the thing that they wished to do. It is said that John G. Capers, the national commit teeman from South Carolina, wish ed to absent himself from the ban quet hall, but he is a candidate for judge of the new federal district to be created in the state, and after mature reflection he decided that it would be best to swallow the negro pill. The comment is made that his action will probably win him the appointment. "North Carolina Republicans are for President Roosevelt, and he will, re (Continued on second page.) entities the securities company would. desire to be heard by their counsel, while it was stated in behalf of the government that only the attorney general would speak. After stating the case Mr. Johnson said that the purpose of the securities com pany in acquiring the stock of the railroad companies had been not to pre vent competition, but to prevent the injury of its own property. Early in the argument Justice Peck ham asked whether the securities com pany held the major portion of the stock of the two companies, and Mr. Johnson admitted that the company held nearly all the stock. He contend ed that,, holding the. stock, it hud the authority to control it. He took sharp exception to the decision of the circuit court that the possession of the power which the securities company had was a violation of the law, and contended that such holding was not in accord ance with decisions of the supreme court, . .which were uniformly to the effect that it is the abuse of the power and not the possession of it, that-constitutes the offense. Mr. Johnson - said that what he had to say would be stated in six proposi tions,; which he outlined briefly as -follows: r : ' The first Is that there was no agree ment, contract, combination or con spiracy to restrain competition between these two railway companies or to re strain trade. But, that, on the, con trary, whatever contract or understand ing there was in the case, as establish ed by uncontradicted testimony, was to enlarge, to create and in every way possible to Improve trade and com merce. The second proposition Is that if two railway companies, somewhat in com petition with each other, find it neces sary In order to sustain their compa- W ontest Begu for n Se OSt ilmiiiston tition against a third company, which otherwise could destroy them or great ly i nterfere with their usefulness to the public, to combine in any wray foi the purpose of protecting themselves against destruction, and in order, bj mea,ns of that protection, to make a greater competition, with a greater rival, on a greater scale, for the great er advantage of the public, then the court must took to the matter 'as ont of fact, to determine whether the real purpose was to destroy or lead to the destruction of the smaller competition In order to promote trade by the estab lishment of the greater competition. The third proposition is that if the holding by the Northern Securities Company of the majority of the shares of the two companies was a violation of the Sherman act, of course an agreement among any number, of per sons would be a violation of that act. The fourth proposition is that tht first section of the Sherman act does not in any way condemn as illegal the acquisition or ownership of the' shares of two competing companies. The fifth proposition is that the sec ond section of the Sherman act does not in any way condemn the acquisi tion and holding of such ownership 01 the shares. " . The sixth proposition, is that, if the Sherman act does condemn as illegal the ownership of a controlling interest in the shares of the competing railway companies, it is unconstitutional. Taking up the propositions, Mr. Johnson contended that there had been no ' thought of restraining competition in uniting the ownership of the two railroad companies, but repeated that, on the contrary, the purpose had been to enlarge and promote trade. He admit ted that if there had been any agree ment to restrain interstate commerce that would constitute a direct violation of the interstate commerce law. and also contended that it was immate rial what the Intent had been. He knew well enough, he said, that the de cision of the court would be based upon the acts performed and not upon the statement of motives. (Continued on second page.) WAGES REDUCED - The Cut Is Now General in New England Mills Boston. Dec. 14. A reduction in wages averaging 10 per cent, and In volving 6,000 cotton operatives was made today in Adams and North Ad ams, Mass., and Norwich, Conn. At Adams, the cut went into effect in the mills of the Berkshire Manufacturing Company, the largest .in western New England. They employ nearly 3,000 hands. -The Eclipse, Beaver nd 'Gray- lock mills of North Adams, witn l.oou hands, followed the action of the Berk shire Company..

ON THE TRACK A Farmer Stepped in Front of a Locomotive and .Was Killed Winston-Salem, N. C, Dec. 14. Spe cial. Jenkins J. Hooker of Kings, Stokes county, aged 60 years, was kill ed by a south bound passenger train on the Atlantic and Yadkin Railroad near Germantcn at 10.15 today. His body was horribly mangled. The en gineer says Hooker was walking near the track when he first saw him, that when, the engine was within a few feet of him the man stepped upon the track, making it impossible to stop the train in time to save Hooker's life.. No rea son is assigned for his strange action. The deceased was a well known farm er. He leaves a wife and several chil dren. SEAWORTHY BOATS $ Torpedo Destroyers Ride Out a Heavy Gale and Rough Sea Washington, Dec. 14. The first tor pedo boat flotilla, commanded by Lieutenant Lloyd Chandler, arrived at Port Royal. S. C, today, and Captain C. J. Train, president of the na.val board of inspection and survey, who with the other members of the board, accompanied the flotilla on the cruiser Baltimore, telegraphed the na,vy de partment that the Httla vessel bad proved their ability to stand the' long voyage to Manila. Captain Train said that the flotilla encountered heavy weather for about twelve hours off Cape Lookout. There was a southeast gale with a heavy sea, but the five vessels under Lieutenant Chandler's command easily maintained a speed of from ten to twelve knots against the sea without danger. "Board considers result of trip," said Captain Train, "conclusively proves flotilla sea worthy for cruise to Manila." Lieutenant Chandler also sent a tele gram in which he said that there was moderately heavy weather from Cape Hatteras to Charleston, where the flo tilla spent the night. He said that af ter taking a small amount of coal at Port Royal the flotilla would proceed at once to Key West, whence it will sail a.t once for the Philippines under convoy of the training ship Buffalo. STUCK IN THE SAND The Moccasin Resists Efforts of Tugs to Float Her Washington, Dec. 14. Information received here from Currituck, N. C, shows that the efforts of the tug Res cue of the Merritt & Chapman Wreck ing fleet and the naval tug Hercules to pull the submarine torpedo boat Moccasin off the beach at that point yesterday were unsuccessful. The small craft is firmly imbedded in the. sand and the two powerful tugs were able to move her only about - thre-e feet not sufficient to float her. The Rescue and the Hercules will remain by the Moccasin and make another effort to get her afloat when the tides are fa vorable today or tomorrow.

A partial re port from Minister Lelshman at Con stantinople of his investigation of the alleged assault upon United States Consul Davis by Turkish police, at Alexandretta, Syria, has been received by the state department. Mr. Leish man says that Attarian, the natural ized American citizen, whose attempt to leave Alexandretta without under going certain formalities caused the trouble, had gone aboard a steamer for Egypt, but was enticed ashore by a subterfuge and an attempt was made to arrest him. Consul Davis, under whose protection Attarian had placed himself and who had escorted him to the steamer, was assaulted by the police, Mr. Irishman asserts, and sought to defend himself. Afterwards Mr. Davis, failing to secure Attarian's release, withdrew from Alexandretta. The account sent by Mr. Irishman Is entirely at variance with the official explanation made to the state depart ment by Chekib Bey, the Turkish min ister, who asserted that Mr. Davis be gan the trouble by assaulting the police Trho were arresting Attarian. More details are desired by the state department and Minister Leishman has been instructed to get them. No action will be taken by this government until this additional information has been received.

Bailey Oppse Kcr-prorlty Tilth Cuba Washington, Dec. 14. The Cuba bill was debated in the Senate today by Mr. Bailey of Texas, who made a lengthy speech attacking the measure on legal grounds and as a matter of policy. He found fault with the bill as an attempt on the part of. the presi - dent and the Senate to initiate revenue legislation, which they now foist upon! the House and try to mollify it by;Smedley D. Butler,, and entrained for giving the House a share in the treaty making power; In short, by commit ting one breach of the constitution they try to excuse another breach.

(in seen or heard anything of .troopj dging EeiBariis in a Negro There Were Other Things to Be Dodged in the Unparlia mentary Proceedings. The Police Reserves Keep the Peace Washington, Dec. 14. The National Suffrage League of Colored Men con vened this morning In the Metropolitan Baptist church to discuss the race ques tion and pass resolutions on the sub ject. After an hour and a half of somewhat unparliamentary debate the police reserves were called out and preserved order until adjournment. The excitement was due to the fact that some of the delegates would pass res olutions endorsing President Roose velt's attitude on the negro question while others wanted the convention to denounce Booker Washington for his utterances on disfranchisement. There was a. mighty warm time for a while. The convention was supposed to be gin at 11 o'clock thi3 morning. Most of the delegates wore frock coats - and high hats, and all of them were calm and dignified. When 11 o'clock arriv ed, however, and it .became necessary to appoint a chairman, the delegates laid aside most of their calmness and all of their dignity, and became anl mjLted. After some general talk W. Calvin Chase, a Washington editor and law-yer and chairman of the executive committee of the local suffrage league, who stands six feet four, and weighs over two hundred pounds, attempted to call the delegates to order and Intro duce Rev. R. J. Nelson, president of the suffrage league of Pennsylvania, when he was interrupted by Rev. J. W. Scott of this city and a dozen or so of his faithful followers. Reverend Scott and his adherents tried to take possession of the floor by other than parliamentary means. Rev. Chase cut his introduction short and with the as sistance of his friends turned in to re pel boarders. His efforts were success ful, and for a few minutes parliamen tary practice was resumed while the delegates got their second wind. Editor Chase had not been In the chair very long, however, before an Impatient suffragist attracted his at tention by throwing a leather seat cushion at his head, and there ,waa more trouble. Interested SDectatora who had attended the convention to learn something about the race prob lem had considerable difficulty In dodg ing the remarks and other things that were passed merrily back and forth by the delegates, and Anally selected the choir gallery as the safest place from which to view the proceedings. It soon became apparent that Lawyer Chne and the Rev.
