The substitute was adopted by a vote

Solicitors Salary Bill.
Senator Ormond's bill to place so
licitors on salary was taken up at
1 o'clock. The bill provides for a sal
ary of $2,250 per annum for all so
licitors to be paid monthly,
Senator Orraond made the first
speech, setting out clearly and suc
cinctly the advantages of the bill. He
called attention to the fact that so
licitors are the only constitutional of
ficers of the state that are not now
on salaries. He showed the growth
of sentiment in all parts of the state
in favor of the salary system, county
officers being placed on a salary I
basis in a number of counties. Tho
office of solicitor is a high one,
fraught with great responsibility.
Senator Travis followed, endorsing
the bill. He proposed an amendment
to put the law into effect January
1st., 1910.
Senator Pharr made the first speech
in opposition. He showed the Ine
quality and unfairness of the pro
posed bill. It would reduce the pay
of some solicitors, making them do
the same work for less money and
would raise the salaries of men In
small districts where there is little
work to be done. . Under the pres
ent system solicitors can do a great
deal of civic practice and thus add to
his Income. He declared that the
proposition would be costly and im
practicable. Senator Peele also op
posed the bill and reviewed the his
tory of the proposition for ten years.
He challenged the advocates of the
bill to show where one cent would
be saved to the state by placing so
licitors on salary. He answered the
objection that the solicitors draw too
many bills under the fee system by
showing that under the salary system
too few would be drawn. He called
attention to the fact that the state of
Tennessee had a salary system for
sllicltors and that It was unsatisfac
tory. He quoted Zeb Vance to the
effect that "the horse that pulls the
plow should eat the fodder," and It
would be unjust to pay one man $2,
200 for twenty-seven weeks of court,
or less, as they have In some districts,
and the same sum to the man who
has to work forty weeks.
Senator Blow followed Senator
Peele, speaking for the bill.

Washington, Feb, 27 To be or
not to be invited to the inaugural
ball. That is the question which has
set the entire diplomatic corps puz
zling their brains. Wives and daugh
ters of the distinguished foreigners
are asking their husbands and fathers
whether all their specially designed
gorgeous gowns are to be so much
wasted finery on the evening of
March 4. Members of the embassy
and legation stafTs are exchanging
confidences, wondering if the inaug
ural committee 'has forgotten all'
about them. In short, money -'.diplomatic
mix-up-has resulted.
Mr; Hanihara, of the Japanese em
bassy, believes it will be necessary to
buy a ticket for $5 in American coin
in order to be welcome. If this Is
the case, the majority of the diplo
mats say they will npt go to the ball.

Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 27 The
manner In which the defense has

a bit puzzling to the public up to the

on the stand again this morning. He

Malcom Patterson would likely go on
the stand during the day, testifying
in behalf of Colonel Cooper. The
slate, it is learned, will not antago

will likely handle him "with gloves."
Quite a number of Patterson lead

COX WITHDRAWS fflS
MINORITY REPORT IN
UNION
STATION
i
AH Railroads Agree That Any
Temporary Improvements
Would be Useless
NEED RADICAL CHANGES
Seaboard and Southern ltecognize
Fact That Depot Is Xot What it
Should lie and That it Xeeds a
Great Deal of Work Done on it,
But as the 1'i-oposed 1'lans Would
Necessitate an Kxpenditure of
$.,()()( or Mow, They Ask for De
lay of Sixty Days, Which is
Granted.
Important railroad matters of In
terest to the citizens of Raleigh and
the state, were discussed before tho
corporation commission to-day.
In the matter of the improvements
at the Union Station, the matter was
deferred for sixty days, in order to
give the railroads time to formulate
plans for this improvement.
Mr. Seddon, chief engineer for the
Seaboard Air Line, stated that his
road had recognized for more than
a year and a half ago, that the Union
Station at Raleiglv needed repairing
and improving. The Seaboard, said
Mr. Seddon, had Tiad'li-'IcTiemeTIi'awn
and were on the verge of beginning
the work when the business slump
came on and caused a financial de
pression throughout the country,
which finally forced his road into the
hands of receivers. The matter has
again been brought to the attention
of the Seaboard officials and the
matter will be taken up as early as
possible, :
Mr. Seddon said that he thought
that It would be better for the city
of Raleigh and for all parties con
cerned, to wait a short while before
making the proposed improvements,
for the reason that any temporary
work would be useless ;that radical
changes were needed and that any
money expended on temporary im
provements would be thrown away.
To do any permanent work, as is
needed, the Seaboard feels compelled
to ask the citizens of Raleigh to hold
off for a short while, until better
times.
Mr. II. V. Miller, for the Southern,
stated 'that his road alsc recognizee
the fact that improvements were
badly needed and that the depot Is
not what it ought to be, but business
at this time doeB not justify the ex
penditure. Plans were drawn in
Summer of 1107 for these Improve
ments, which carried an expenditure
of $15,000 or more, but the panic
came on and work could not be done.
Expenditures, elsewhere In North
Carolina at this time, are taking all
the available funds, and the Southern
would ask sixty days' additional time
In which to take the matter up with
all parties concerned, and see if the
work could not be done satisfactorily
and at a more reasonable figure.
Mr. Miller stated that he didn't
think he was betraying any confi
dences when he said, that the S. A. L.
wanted the. Union Station moved up
to head of the "Y," in order to avoid
the delay In backing in. For the
Southern, he would state that In con
sideration of the great: amount of
money Involved, they would prefer
backing In.
According to the plans outlined
before the commission to-day, the
changes in the Union Station will
be as follows: The present baggage
room will be added on to the men's
waiting room, making this a general
waiting room, double the size of the
present room; the ladles' waiting
room would be made a waiting room
for the colored people; the colored
waiting room would be made Into a
baggage room; smoking room would
be built just outside general waiting
room, and a ladies' retiring room
would be where the express room
was; all tickets would be sold by
same men on the Inside of the wait
ing room; and the hacks and car
riages would drive up to the door
on Martin street, instead of on Daw
son. These radical changes would
