IMUNISM THE DEM. PARTY Bill For More Prompt De livery Defeated V M'LEAN'S HOT SPEECH HI ExrelleBrf In Special Message Advises Establislimcnt of Two New Kdncationul Institutions Many New Ililts School of Tech nology Communism and Socialis. tic Tendency of the Democratic Party. Tho feature of today's proceedings in the state, senate wa the "warm number" which the speech of Senator McLean of Hoboson characterized to- be by an interested auditor. The subject of discussion was the Kluttz bill to improve the service of the telegraph companies in North detail. An important bill was Introduced by' Henator Buxton, which provides for the purchase of a marble statue of "Governor Zebulon B. Vance, and the placing of the same" In one of the two niches reserved for North Caro lina in statuary hall department In the national capitol building at Washing ton. The bill places the matter ln the hands of the council of state, and pro vides that such sum as they agree to expend thereon shall be paid out of tho state treasury. In the state senate today President Winston called Senator Drewry of nal!e to. sne cnair ana ,nen, mm db- - Wake to. the chair and. .then, laid be read by the clerk, relating to the "ef forts making to effect legislation which will establish in eastern North Caro lina a normal and industrial training school', especially the instruction of teachers similar to the one now at Greensboro. The governor spoke favorably of the proposition and said that it has great merit and that he could not see how it would deleteriously affect the Greensboro Institution, and he thought tho state was large enough to support properly two such institutions. Tho message also expressed the hope that the legislature will do all it can to facilitate the establishment of tho proposed School of Technology at Spray. Rockingham county. The bill providing for this Institution was In troduced In the senate this morning by Senator Reid and provides for an appropriation of ?5,(XW per annum for maintenance. The governor also strongly advised the passage of the bill providing for the bureau of immigration and for cibly explained the advantages and good which could be brought to the state out of a properly conducted bu reau of this character. Several minor matters affecting leg islation were also referred to in the message. Semite Proceedings in Detail. Today's session of the state senate was called to order twenty minutes ahead of time. The senate yesterday adjourned to meet at U o'clock this morning and the Journal will record it as having met at that hour, but as a matter of fact, work began at 10:40 o'clock, the chair stating that as more than a quorum was present and as an unusually large number of house bills had Just been sent ln, he would call the senate to order at the hour stated. Prayer by Senator, Brown of Yadkin. The first business transacted was the reading of the titles of the large num ber of bills sent over by the. 'bouse, which were' referred to the various committees. Reports from the various standing committees were made and a number of bills added to the calendar. To the Dead House. S.

Special Orders Kluttz Telegraph Bill. Tho full text of the Kluttz bill Is as follows: " Section 1. It shall bo the duty of telegraph companies doing business In the state of North Carolina to prompt ly transmit and deliver all messages which they receive for transmission and delivery and for which they have received pay or which they accept for transmission. Sec. 2. Any telegraph company negligently violating the provisions ot the preceding section shall be liable to a penalty of $200 to any person ag grieved thereby. Sec. 3. This act shall be In force from and after Its ratification. (Amended In committee by making the penalty 00 Instead of $200.) Messrs. Pharr and Hicks dissented from the majority and made a minor ity report that the bill do not pass. Mr. Kluttz first a'ddresesd the sen ate on the measure. He referred es pecially to the poor service throughout the slate and stated that the bill was not intended to create suits for dam ages, but to bring about a better ser- entK-l- th inrpanles----Hmljr) with the reasonable provisions of the bill there-will be no. suits. Mr. Pharr spoke in opposition to the bill and said that there were 391 tele graph offices in North Carolina and that ln only about sixty of them the receipts amounted to more than $50 or $60 a month and have to be operated ln conjunction with railway telegra phers; that 80 percent, he had been told, of the suits against the telegraph companies for delay and errors was due to the fault ln these small offices, etc. Mr. Pharr thought, as did Mr. Mason, that under the language of sec tion 2 of the bill "any person aggriev ed" could sue, in case of tardy or non-delivery that the suits would not be confined to the party sending the message. ' Mr. Holt stated to Mr. Pharr that it was the fact that one of the telegraph companies was notoriously more prompt than the other in both trans- misison and delivery of telegrams. Mr. .McLean's Hot Speech. Mr. McLean also spoke against the bill and referred to the tendency to pass laws unjust to corporations, espe cially the larger corporations. He wanted all of them treated with even harmed justice. Nearly every large corporate interest has been attacked since this general assembly bogan Its work. If we do not stop this kind of thing we will receive as we deserve tho contempt of all fair minded peo ple without and within the state. "Public service corporations!" and "eminent domain!" Well, tho pub'.ic service corporations certainly pay dearly enough for the right of emi nent domain." When ,-dld it become a crime for a man or association of men to own a dollar in North Carolina? He deprecated the fact that he was called upon so often in this late day to recognize the outgrowth of the popullstlc spirit which were Injected into the veins of the democratic party a number of years ago.- Commun ism and socialism had found a lodg ment and apparently an abiding place ln the organization of the Democratic party. And if a senator expresses his regret and condemnation that such things exist he is told that he "won't get back here." Well, added the senator, I did not ask any one to send me here, and I don't especially care to come back here again, nor to hold any other po litical office. But he would deplore the tact, all the same, that such measures should be fathered and pros ecuted and enacted ,, Into law. by the party of which he was a, member, j He then pointed . out how designing per sons could take advantage of this pro posed law, and made a- very forcible argument along that line. ( ' j Mr.' Thorn, in speakipg t( -the bill, pointed out that no Undue advantage could be taken In suits brought under fct'i!: L&,,,.
