L1R JUDO BALKS AGAIN Promises to Introduce Repeal Bill Bet Nerve Fails Not Allowed by Other Members From Wake to Reopen the Question Re. : fused to Stand Alone for the Right . Rumblings of the People Heard. After It had been plainly seen that a bill entitled, "an act for the bettor promotion . of public roads of Wake county" had been railroaded through tho general assembly, sailing under the misleading head, Representative Judd was seen last night and asked about the matter. He snld that Mr. Battle Introduced the bill in the house, with out conferring With him and ho knew nothing at all about the bill until It had been ratified and his attention called to tho unfairness of It. He never heard the bill read, nor discussed ami had nothing to do with It. He was asked If he thought it was a better promotion of the public roads of Wake county to put Mr. Stlnson out ot office, and he laughed nt the Idea, saying: "I do not think so." Miv Judd was asked then If ho would not Introduce a bill to repeal the measure legislating Htlnson out of his Job, and he said that he would take the matter up at the morning session. Accordingly a bill was so drawn and given to him last night. This morning he wits seen and asked what he expected to do about the repeal bill, ntid he simply admitted hat he had talked the matter over with the other representatives and they do not cure to tamper with the ratified bill, and'-that ho of course then refused to Introduce It. . Thus a measure Is rushed through without a chance of presenting the merits of the case before the legislature. Blindly they voted for It and the bill has been ratified. ; It shows how far faction can go to humiliate an of ficer. V ''-": " ; ' The members from Wake oouhty in troduced,, and 'had passed, the bill with thivsolo.. motive of ousting Mr.. Stlnson and placing In office two of their-faction, and. would, not. allow .'Mr. Judd,t'o ! Introduce, tho; repeal ' measure because then tho people would bo heard. ; FIRST TRACK OK GIBBS. Spots Found on the Roadside Which Look as if They Had Been Saturat ed With Blood. , (Special to The Times.) Elizabeth City. March 1 The first trace of Captain E. F.

This ..flued has been examined care fully and It Is believed to be human blood and none other than that or Captain . Olbbs. This is further strengthened by another discovery made by the same patty in which a hole was found on tho other side of the fence opposite the patch of bipod. col--orod earth, made by an ax blade, stick ing into the ground. This was exam ined and it was found to be colored with the same, fluid. Everybody Is certain that this is the mot where Cantaln OibbS . met his death: but by whom is a mystery as the officers have not one single eiuc or suspicion as to the guilty party. Even- foot of the land, and the river too, In this section has been searched many times over and nothing has been found. Every effort to find his . bouy hna hnrn pxliausted and the searchers have no idea how to proceed further.

SECRKTARV KXOX OPPOSES; loesn't Like the Pinipnsnl o Abro- Rntethe Treaty With Russia. (By Ijcased Wire to The Times.) Washington, March . ISecretary Knox has poured cold water on the proposal to abrogate the treaty -of . 1.832 between this country and nussia, and thus bring the. latter country lo time for .Its discrimination against the Hebrew citizens of tho -United States who desire the privilege of travll in the czar's domains. His views on the subject, expressed to a sub-committee of the house committee on foreign nf falrs will hV9 the effect of prevent ing any legislation at this session look ing to the relict" sought by the Jews of this country. : The secretary of state says there is little use In following out the terms of the Parsons' resolution ami completely upsetting the relations between this country and Russia In order to demon strate that the Russian regulations re garding the exclusion of the Jews are distasteful. While refraining from sug gesting any method of modifying these regulations of Russia, in order to make them conform to the treat- obligations, Mr. Knox points out that the nullifi cation of the treaty is a course far too drastic and possibly fraught with too far-reaohing consequences to be acceptable to those who are conduct ing American diplomatic affairs.

Once upon a time there was a pickpocket who at tended a great gathering of people. He pretended to be mighty good and took great interest in all that was being done. . Whenever there was a crowd of people at any place he would be right in the midst of the rush and would throw up his hands and yell at the top of his voice, "Stop, Thief! Stop, Thief! I have been robbed! I have been robbed!" The people were greatly alarmed and sought in vain for the thief. They searched all of their number and after finding that all their pockets had been robbed they suspected the good man, who at that mo ment was found with his hands in their pockets and cry ing, "Stop, Thief I Stop, Thief!" , ' Shakespeare's Fobles.
