In proof cf his sincere regard for the colored race . Governor Glenn related his early associations on the farm thev were with negro boys. He at once secured the attention of the audience by relating the fidelity of an old slave, h battle, to his father, the love he fere his old black mammy, and asked, "Can I forget that they were colored People? and these things being so can a-y one believe there is aught in my tart but good feelings and kindness tor your race?

"Another reason the people give why we ought not to educate you so much is that as ' soon as you get through i. school you pull up stakes and leave us. It is ingratitude and you ought to stop it.

The governor gave good advice all through his speech, and though the language was plain, it was well re ceived. "North Carolina offers a grand and glorious opportunity to the people of both races to elevate themselves. We need the people of both races," he declared,"and we appeal to you colored people to be industrious, lead pure lives and stay in North Caro lina." In conclusion Governor Glenn said that during his term he would do jus tice to the humblest colored man as well as the richest white man. He urged the people to denounce the crime when rhinc.

' President Dudley gave good and against government rate regulation be fore the senate interstate commerce committee, today took up the ques tion of rebates, which was, he said a question of far greater importance to the public than, fixing rates because it more desirable that every one b charged the same rate for the same service. One of his objections to the Esch-Townsend bill was that it pro vided no additional safeguards against rebates. On the other hand, the rigidity of the rates to be fixed by the commission created by the bill would be an additional inoentive to the grant ing of rebates by the roads. Then, too the present law made it easy to reach rebates by injunctions in any United States circuit court, whereas under the proposed legislation such efforts would be confined to one court the transportation court. Mr. Hines said that in his opinion the Esch-Townsend bill was a drastic and far reaching measure, which, if it had become a law, would have been The rebate system would never have been so bad, Mr. Hines thought, If the In terstate commerce commission had originally taken more vigorous action,' had Interpreted the aw differently, and had gone to work in the proper man ner. But the commission at one time stated that it had "other things more important on hand," and the shippers were quick to note this and to take ad vantage of it. "The honest railroad and honest ship per will be satisfied with any legisla tive enactment that will suppress re bates and discrimination or any device that gives one shipper or class of ship pers an advantage." This was the statement this after noon by James C. Lincoln, general Rumor of Big Shortage New , York, April - 28.

The said institution was a trust company, it is said, and the state banking department is investigating the matter. interviews with leading financial leaders failed to -produce any verifica tion of the rumor. Several bank pres. idents admitted having heard the ru mor. Some expressed belief , that the report might have been put out to af fect the stock market.
