RALEIGH, N. C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1910. PRICE 5 CENTS. DOUBLE THE CIRCULATION IN LAST EDITION PRESIDENT AND ALDRICH ARE AGREED Pledges Must be Carried Qui In Order to Save The Party HOLD CONFERENCE Taft and Aldrich in Conference the Outcome of Which Will be. State ment Concerning Supreme Court Decisions in Tobacco Trust Cases, President Will Speak in New York Tomorrow on Subject of Party Pledges and Will Bay That Pledges Must be Kept In Fact as Well as in Spirit. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Feb. 11 A confer ence which was held at the white house last night between President Taft and Senator Aldrich was only the forerunner of others in the fn ture, the outcome of which probably will be the earjy issues through some appropriate channel of a statement dealing with the possible conse quences, financial, industrial, and io- Utical, hinging upon the decisions of the supreme court of the United States in the pending cases of the American Tobacco Company and the Standard Oil Company. The former has been argued, and is now in the hands of the court; the latter has been advaSiced and set for argument on March 14. The immediate subject of the con ference between the president and Mr, Aldrich was the perfecting of tho ad ministration's proposed amendments to the interstate commerce law, but the effects of the supreme court's de cisions In the tobacco and Standard Oil cases also were discussed to some extent and will be further discussed after Senator Aldrich's return on Monday from New York, whither he went yesterday. Meanwhile the pres- ldent will speak in New York tomor row evening at the Lincoln birthday dinner of the New York republican club on the subject. It is said, of party pledges and how they should be kept, and he is attempting no con cealment or modification of his in tention to make the decision of the supreme court the guide of the gov ernmeut's action in regard to corpo rations charged with violations of the Sherman unli-trust law. He makes II plain that he has in no wise changed his purpose to investigate the conduct of all trusts, and will not be swerved therefrom by rumors or flurries or other manifestations in Wall street. The president will say in his speech that the republican party went be fore the American people in ( 1908 with certain well-defined pledges in its platform. He will contend that these pledges must be carried out in fact as well as in spirit, and that he will do all in his power to further their enactment into yiws. The op portunity will be seized also to give New York a little enlightenment as to the attitude of the administration In regard to trusts and corporations which possibly stand in the shadow of prosecution under the Sherman anti-trust law. PEARY WILL NOT BE RIM REAR ADMIRAL (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Feb. 11 Commander Peary will not be placed on the re tired list us a rear admiral of the navy if the house naval committee has any voice in the matter. The sub-committee of the naval committee today had before It the bill which recently passed the senate to make Peary a rear admiral, to be placed on the retired list immediate ly,' and also the similar house bill, in troduced by Representative Allen, of Maine. The sub-committee unani mously reported the bill adversely, which Is construed to mean the death of the bill. . The president could now nominate Peary a rear admiral, subject to tho confirmation by the senate. It 1b reported that the adverse de cision of the house gub-commlttee of the naval affairs committee regarding MISS MARGARET ' Thu hnkiitirui fiuiiirhter of Mr. tuid gagement to the Viscount of Maidstone Is announced. Miss Drexel is the sister of A. J. Drexel, Jr., who is to marry Miss Marjorie Gould. Miss Drexel during tho past few months has been reported engaged to no less than two Princess, one Duke audseven Lords. the promotion of Commander Peary was due to a letter sent by Secretary of the Navy Meyer to the committee opposing the appointment. When in quiry was made at the office of Sec- etary Meyer as to whether or not such a letter had been written the statement was made "that notning was known about It". GREENSBORO MAN BEFORE COMMITTEE (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Feb. It Senator Smith, of South Carolina, this morn ing added to the interest of the hear- ng ou the bill to prevent dealing in futurefc in agricultural products, now n progress before tile house, agricul tural committee. J. E. Latham, of Greensboro, X. C. cotton manufacturer, who was the rst witness, was replying to a ques tion from Chairman Scott about the relative effect of futures on the rice of cotton, when Senator Smith nterrupted by asking if it was not a fact thut the men who control the cotton exchanges who did not. buy on margins, so manipulate the figures so as to wipe out margins by sending prices up or down, as it suited their convenience. The witness said he did not believe such was the case; that he never ,heard of such a thing hav ing been done. Senator Smith was interrupted at this point by L. Manblebaum, of the New York cotton exchange, who de manded of . Chairman Scott that if Senator Smith was to testify he be placed under 'oath, like other wit nesses, and asserting .that Senator Smith's statement about margins was not correct. Chairman Scott replied that nil members and senators who asked question or who testified were al ready under oath. ; ' Senator Smith said that the busi ness of legitimate cotton exchange has been superceded by a fascinating game which he likened to the Louis iana lottery, and congress had put the lottery out of business. Mr. Latham said he was guided in buying cotton by the quotations from New York and Liverpool. In answer to a question from Chairman Scott he admitted that spot quotations were to some extent governed by futures. He did not believe that if futures ere abolished It wou.-u make the rice of cotton less fluctuating than is now the case. He added that be ARSTROXG DREXEL. -ggr . Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel, whose en tween 6 5and 70 per cent of the cot ton raised in the United States is sold abroad. Sleet and Snow In Alabama. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Huntsville.

IRSH ULTIMATUM TO THE CABINET i By Cable to The Times:) . London, Feb. 11 While the cab inet was in session today threshing out the policy of the government a message was 'received from the Na tionalist headquarters at Dublin de-i niunding an unqualified pledge of , home rule and the curtailment of the lords' power of veto as the price of; supporting the budget and. the gen eral liberal policy. This brought the situation squarelyj to a crisis as the Liberals must depend on tho Irish and the Laborites' for rtieir majority iu the new parliament. CONFUSION IS RIFE The Keynote of the British Political Situation Irish Clamor For Home Rule and Threaten to Break the Government lilock and the Laborites Demand the Abolition of the House of Lords. (By Cable to The Times.) London, Feb.'ll Confusion Is the keynote of the British political situa tion today. With the Irish clamor ing for home rule and threatening a break in the government block if they are not heeded, and with the Labor- it es demanding Immediate war on the house of lords the Liberal leaders are struggling to whip a definite and effective policy out of the chaos. The cabinet met again today, to continue yesterday's discussion and outline the terms of the king's speech to be delivered at the opening of the new parliament, ten days off. There was no ammunition today in the popular interest in the doings of the cabinet. Whfn the minister as sembled at the prjnie minister's offi cial residence in? Downing street, thousands thronged the adjacent thoroughfares. There was little in the way of demonstration, however. All of the members of the cabinet appeared fatigued and the strain which has been kept up since the in troduction of the-budget bill in the last parliament shows no sign of re laxing. .. It is a group of tired men in whose hands lies the immediate course" ot England's history. The conference between Premie Asquith and the king, expected yes terday has been deferred till tomor row. By then the liberal government hones to have its plans as well in hand as it can j without definite knowledge of the situation in parlia ment. That cannot be obtained till the eve of the first session, at the earliest. ', The belief that the government will puBh the budget to the atten tion of the common and the house of lords before attemilg to curb the veto power of the hereditary body became firmer today, although there was no'definlte news when the cabi net assembled. The policies to be followed by the ministry have been kept secret with the utmost care. It is, however, merely a piatter of precedence of the two issues! that now holds the attention of Great Britain. The great machinery of the mer cantile world and the business of the government as well, call for an im mediate solution of the financial problem. It is asserted by those in the favor of the government leaders that this matter will be attended to first, though Asquith risks a break with the Laborites and the Irish Na tionalists. The extremes to which the war on the lords will be carried have not yet been decided fully. There seems to be little prospect, however, of a demand for the aboli tion of the upper house and the curb lug of its powers perhaps to the point of making Its existence a joke will probably be as far as the lords' opponents will attempt to go at the present time. PROHIBITION IN CHICAGO. Every Ward in the City to be Thor oughly Organized and Great Cam paign Made. Chicago, Feb. 1 1 A campaign fund of at least $100,000 and per haps more is to be raised for the "dry Chicago" campaign. Every ward in the city is to be thoroughly organized; every precinct is to have its sub-oraunization. The dead walls and the advertising stands will be plastered with posters in many different languages in the course of a few days. Mass meetings in every ward will be held nightly until election night in April. Ministers of the gospel will sound the battle-cry from their pul pits. Business men will be canvassed and asked to lend their aid in the fight that is on to make Chicago a "dry" city. There are a few of the things that were decided upon by foes of the sa loon and the liquor traffic at a meet ing held In Willard Hall, "We are determined to strike at the whole whiskey line from now on and we will continue fighting until the last battle is won," said Chair man James K. Shields. "The liquor crowd has got a double-headed fight on its hands and it will know thut It has been in a mighty hot fight before wo are through with the battle. "We will have literature in many different languages prepared and will use advertising as one means to our end. We will plaster the city with our advertisements and will have many speakers of national fame and of many different nationalities here to help us out."
