W. F. Allen, a Representative of
the Legislature from West Stewart
stown, was asleep in his room at an
apartment house on Sunday after
noon, when he was awakened by an
intruder who made off with Mr. At
len s trousers, tn wnicn tnere was

ing tramp, but Mr. Allen became
thoroughly alive to the situation
when the wearing apparel disappear
ed through the door. Without wait
irg to get into street attire, Allen
dashed down the stairway and out
into the snowy world in pursuit of
the hobo. The other occupants of
the house did not see the theif and
formed the opinion that Mr. Allen
had become temporarily insane, and
a telephone message was sent to the
police. :
Meantime Representative Alien
was doing a hot sprint up the main
street, steadily gaining on those
trousers. The tramp was no match
for the hyhtyiclad lawmaker, and
after a live-minute chase Allen had

.The Impeachment Question.
At 11 o'clock Thursday the House
began the consideration of the lm
peachment of Judges Furches and
Douglass The majority report of
the Judiciary Committee calling for
impeachment; a minority, from Re
publicans, a gains t it and a
resolution of censure opened by
Judge Connor were placed before the
House Judge Allen offered the
argument in favor of impeachment
He said it has now been two weeks
since the investigation was begun.
It has been a burden that all men
would shrink from assuming. It is
a step that would not have been tak
en but from a sens of imperative
duty. Lawyers above all men re
spectard regard the high station of
them smbersofthajudiciary. The sub
committee met and the first resolve
was that they would neither draw
nor discuss any conclusion until they
had ascertained facts. They exam
ined ail witnesses available and there
was no disagreement in that com
mittee as to the facts. "We agreed
to make no recommendation to the
whole committee as to their action.
When this report was made the com
mittee took it up. In that commit
tee there was no attempt made to
force a conclusion on any member of
the committee. We met three times
and carefully deliberated on all these
ihatters. Not an impassioned
speech was made. Not a Demo
cratic member of that committer!
has questioned the conclusion of fact
and of law. The only suggestion of
politics in that question came from
Washington City and from the Re
publican member of the committee. "
(Judge Allen here recited the his
tory of the oyster legislation that
led up to th mandamus issued and
continued) Continuing he said:
"If the Supreme Court can compel
the Treasurer of North Carolina to
pay $800 what can prevent them from
ordering the payment cf $8,000,
000." The insiynificence of the sum
in question is not the issue. The
great principle of the preservation
of the reserved rights of the people,
through their representatives is
the question. They have committ
ed four distinct violations of the
law. In violation of the direct pro
vision ofthe constitution they direct
ed and compelled money to be,paid
out of the Treasury, when the con
stitution and the Legislature have
expressly forbid it. The power t
impeacn was put solely in the hands
of the House of Representatives be
cause the founders of the srovera-
ment wanted th:s power as near the
people. A -cou-ct-ciampeachment is
not to punish a criminal, but an in
quiry into tne conduct of public of
ficers, if they have not done their
duty and to see if the public service
is being hurt or damaged. It is po
litical inquiry into the conduct of
public officers. We have taken aa
oath to obey the constitution and we
cannot escape the responsibility of
making an investigation into the
conduct of these judges. 'High,
crimes and misdemeanors in office.'
are simply words thrown into a
charge of impeachment for the pur
poses of greater solemnity. Just as
for merely indictments for murder,
moved and instigated by the de
nial, etc.," were put iti to giVe great
er dignity and seriousness to the
charge. The question of intent has
nothiny to do with this inouirv.
The: ignorantiviolation of our con
stitution can damage as much as
the wilful violation of it.
But if you read the evidence you
will see these judges shuffling on the
bench as to how they should act.
Sear the lawyer in a newspaper
article sa3'ing they were dodging
and he would bring them to time.
And he did bring them to time.
What a humiliating spectacle. Read
the report of the committee. "The
manner in which this order was is
sued indicates to our minds that the
judges who directed it be issued did
not think they had the power," etc.
I do not wish to say anything worse
about these men. I shall not do so.
1 only occupy the position I do be.
cause I have taken an oath to obey
the constitution and protect it from
infringement and annulment. ' I am
sorry to see a resolution of impeach
ment passed against an old man or
any man, but neither age nor posi
tion should draw sympathy alone,
sufficient to justify me in taking a
strai ht course of duty. There is no
disagreement as to the fact that
these judges violated the constitu
tion. I cannot agree with the posi
tion oi Judge uonnon, wnom l so
highly regard and have so often fol
lowed "If these men are guilty they
should be impeached. Otherwise
they should be completely exonerat
ed. We nave no rignt to excuse
them if they are guilty. . The higher
the positiou the greater the re
sponsioility. I have spoken only as
a Representative of the people and
with a strict sense of the obligations
such a position imposes upon
me."
He was followed by Stubbs, and
Baldwin, against impeachment, and
by Seawell, Graham and Green in
favor of it. .
Judge Connor closed the discussion
for Thursday as follows:
'Connor said this was no place to
make appeals for mercy. He occu
pied a different position from others
on the floor. As a member of the
sub committee he vyent as far as he
could go and had to part with his
f riends. He was not embarrassed at
all at his position and had no apology
to make. No one here questions
really the honesty of Judge Furches.
It has been inferred that the note
sent Clerk Kenan by Furches was
intended to place the clerk in a false
position, and to sheild himself. I
am satisfied in the light of recent in
formation that Furches honestly
thought Kenan had prepared the
writ, since it was typewritten. I
believe the conclusion the com
mittee came to is correct. The
manner in, which this : order was is-1
sued was not judicial and was un
dignified. I have no words of ex
cuse for it. I was astonished aud
aggrieved when. I .became satisfied
of it. " I do not desire to recede from
ODe word of the report of the sub
committee. But because we have
embarked in these proceedings is no
reason that we should not turn back:!
We certain' v can and should follow
dictates of judgment, or we cease to
be safe in business or the other mat
ters. We do not sit as a grand jury.
A court of impeachment is one to
which we should not resort except
in extreme cases The question
with us should be, is there overrul
ing necessity or demand for ita
peachment proceedings? Is it wise
in the absence of this neccessity or
demand to continue the course we
have pursued? In 1870, when tht
Chief Justice refused to grant a writ
of habeas corpus, the succeeding
Legislature seriously discussed his
impeachment, but wise men of that
day thought it wisest not to impeach
the Chief Justice and subsequent
events showed their wisdom. "If I
were a member of the Seuate, with
this" case on trial before me, I should
listen t3 no outside suggestion as to
my duty. In this House I do listen
to advice and counsel of wise men of
my State, and many of tnem have
written me and impressed me May
we not make a mistake to follow
this matter further? Is it necessary
to say that North Carolina is the
only State in the Union that has im
peached its Chief Justice and anoth
er member of its highest court?
When Chief Justice Pearson died and
his whole judicial record was invest
igated men pronounced eulogies on
his life who in 1870 were clamoring
to drive him from the judgment
seat. Let us pause. Let not our
fears for the integrity of the constitu
tional amendment lead us into doing
that which otherwise we would not
have done. Those who differ with
me have pursued the course they
haue from the high sense of duty and
the same sense of duty has dictated
my position." Connor spoke an
hour and a half and at his conclusion
at 6.45 p. m. the House adjurned un
til 10 o'clock Friday.
The House galleries were packed
again Friday to listen to arguments
in favor of impeachment by Roun
tree, Winston, Hoey, Spainhourand
Smith; against it by Duls, of Meck
lenburg, Simrns, Richardson, Mc
Lean and others. Cut no actiou
was taken. ,
Twelve speeches were delivered
Saturday six on each side. Those
who spoke for impeachment were
.Messrs. Whi taker of Forsyth, Curtis,
Robinson of Anson, Blalock, Stew
art and Jenkins. Those who spoke
in apposition were Messrs, Yarbo
rough, Patterson, Morgan, Whiia
ker of Cuilford, Sheets and Benbow,
An agreement was finally reached
for a vote at 2 o'clock Monday.
A History 6f Gettysburg.
Wilmington Messenger.
If the Legislature did not have so
much on hand to tax their abilit y
and industrv tfre Messenger would
venture to give a hand as to one
thing tm,ch needed in behalf of North
Carolina history and our brave men
who fought at Gettysburg, and par
ticulary on the third day. , It would
be highly becoming if the i. Legisla
ture should appropriate a sum suffi
cient to have a full, clear complete
history written of the part taken by
North Carolina in the great three
day's battle of Gettysburg. 7'he
complete evidence as to . the Third
Day should be included. History as
thus for written of that day is false,
partial, unjust There were other
troops in the fateful and famous
charge than Virginians, and as
brave It is a simple fact that of
Heth's division, commanded by Gen
eral Pettigrew, (General Heth be
ing incapacitated from a wound)
composed of four brigades; the only
one that behaved badly was the
Virginia brigade known as Brock
enborough's. There was but one
brigade of North Carolinians (Petti -grew's'own)
and there was never a
better body of soldiers on any battle
field. It lost immensely its, gallant
colonel, young Harry Burgwyn, be
ing killed. Let the book be written.
Mr. Justice Clark or Mr. Bond
would do the work most effectively,
most thoroughly. . We have so often
written of the Third Day, and once
within a year, that we, have but
glanced at the subject in the above.
The slanders have gone far enough.
A Virginia paper that publishes
such baseless slanders as have often
appeared about mou who braved ev
erything on that ensanguined field,
is engaged in a shabby assault.

Immense Profits In Oil.
Philadelphia Times.
The Standard Oil Company de
clared a dividend of 20 per cent, pay
able March lo. This is at the rate
of 68 per cent, since March 1, 1900,
The Standard Oil will thus have
distributed among its stockholders
$68,000,000 within tbe space of one
year and 15 days. Of this" sum John
B. Rockefeller will ' have received
$21,080,000, more $55,000 a day,: or
about $40 a minute: Mr. Rockefell
er's wealth has piled up so astonish
ingly that even the great money
kings of Wall stieet are marveling.
His available cash has become such
a factor in" Wall street that accord
ing to one of the b?st judges of the
market, all chance has been entirely
eliminated from transactions on the
stock exchange.
. Mr. Rockefeller can put up stocks
or put them down as-he chooses. No
combination is strong enough in
Wall street to defeat his plans.
