THINKS WILL HAVE NECESSARY VOTES President Decides to Fight Out Issue by Giving Re publican Senators Another Chance to Confirm (By (he Associated Press) Washington, March 12. —President Coolidge threw the gauntlet to his op ;>oneHts in the senate today by' again submitting the nomination of (’has. B. • Warren to be Attorney General. Without a word of comment the Pres ident sent back the nomination just in time to have it waiting on the Senate doorstep when the day’s session began at noon. Tito decision of the Chief Executive as tonished most of the Senators, including ranking republican leaders, who had ad vised the White House that if returned the name of Mr. Warren would fare no better thnn it did when the Senate re jected it Tuesday on a tie vote. Some old timers in the senate could recall no precedent for the return of a cabinet nomination that already had fail ed to command a majority. Republican leaders had previously ad vised Mr. Coolidge that the situation ap peared hopeless, but with Mr. Warren's arrival here there was a st'ffening of the republican lines and a careful canvass of the outlook during the long talk between the President, Senator Butler and the nominee, resulted in a decision that con firmation would be possible by a narrow margin. Meanwhile the opposition, which in cluded almost the whole Democratic mem bership and a group of republican insur gents, also sought to reorganize strength in such away as to again block senate approval. It was indicated tjiat the Pres ident's action might lengthen the session of the Senate which leaders hoped to end ou Saturday. " -After a conference with Mr. Warren, yvltjhdmd been sumjnoned^refir^TSptroit a single vote, the President decided Jo fight out the issue by giving the Re publican senate leaders ariother oppor tunity to try for confirmation. Senator Butler, of Massachusetts, a close personal friend of the President, was present at the White House con ference, and said he believed the neces sary votes for confirmation could be ob tained. After the conference there were indi cations that the President would issue a statement on the department of jus tice situation later in the day. Mean while Mr. Warren let it be known he would have nothing to say. J. ZEB GREEN NOW s A McLEAN CONVERT Marahvllle Man, Who Troubled Morri son, Will Stick Unless Something Hap pens. Tom Bost in Greensboro News. Ualeigh. March 11.—J. Zeb Green, prize Piedmont Insurgent, heckler of Gov ernor Cameron Morrison in the olden days, and maker of the Marshville Home, has been converted to Governor McLean. Announcement that the devil is dead and that the pope seriously contemplates tinning Presbyterian are in order, but Mr. 'Green gives himself a getting out place. If he knows what he is talking about, and he fears that he generally does, he is for Governor McLean, but the alliance with his excellency is condi tioned solely on Mr. Green’s asuumption that ifi- has not deceive dhimself. Mr. Green was a “pop” in the days of Weaver, Bryan, Tom Watson, Silver Dick Bland. But when the imps blend ed their agrarianism with protection and Hamiltonianism, J. Zeb could not go with' them. So he became an irregular, ir reconeiliab’.e. Irrepressible Democrat. He seems to have caused more misery to Governor Morrison than all others com bined. Os course he was against Gov ernor McLean largely because Governor Morrison was for him. But this is the way he feels about it now, and he writes it straight to his excellency: 1 “If I am not deceived with myself I bjb gloriously and almost shouting ly converted to your administration. Be ing an orthodox Methodist this conver sion will hold steadfastly good unless there arises some unforeseen cause for backsliding." Senator Wheeler’s Case to Be Called April I6th.

Washington, D. (’., March 12.—The 1925 Textile Directory of the Southern Railway system, just issued, shows that, not withstanding the fnet that 1924 was f a year of general depression in the tex tile industry throughout the world, the remarkable growth in the south again emphasizes the advantages of this terri tory for textile manufacturing. ' This directory lists 1,105 plants op erating 13.006,246 spindles, 257.445 looms . and 43,475 knitting machines located at points served by Southern Railway linew ■ at the end of 1924. In all of the southern states there are now 17,359,420 spindles, or 45.82 per cent, of the total machinery engaged in the spinning of cotton in the United States. There was a net increase of 612,374 spindles in the South in 1924 and a net decrease of 302,545 spindles in the states outside of tile south. The remarkable growth of the "textile industry in the South is shown in a graphic way by dingrams one cf which shows that while the South had only a very small proportion (.27 per cent) of. the total spindles in the United States in 1880, there has been a steady increase from that year until, on January 1, 1925, the South had 45.82 per cent, of the total. In state outside of the South the number of spindles increased slowly' until ) the maximum of 20.981,175 was reached in 1922. Since that year there has been a decrease of 455,055 in those states,’ as compared with an increase in the South in the same period of 1,395.- 039. Another diagram shows that con sumption of cotton has increased much more rapidly in southern mill than in those of other states and that in 1911, and in every year since that date, south ern mills have consumed more cotton than those of all other states. In 1924 southern mills took 3,858,317 bales, which was 2.036,080 more than all other states and 67.92 per cent, of- the total consumption of cotton in the United States. Seventy-five per cent, of all the cotton spindles in all of the cotton growing states are in localities served directly by Southern Railway system linles, and one of the most impressive features of the directory is an outline map of the rail way with a dot representing each 10,000 spindles. Referring to the service ren dered by the Southern Railway system to the textile industry of the South, the following is printed on the back cover page of the directory under the heading. “Hauling Cotton to the and Cotton Goods to the Market”: “Taking into account its tonnage so raw cotton and of cotton mill products, the Southern Railwny system is un doubtedly tiie largest carrier of cotton in the world. “Accompanying the rapid growth of the textile industry, and especially the unseat <jay , ..dgijatopinani ,«f.. .dyeing., bleaching and finishing, there has been developed a wider distribution of cotton goods directly from the mills. “The management of the Southern Railway system has recognized the op portunity and the obligation thus created for an efficient system of assembling and distributing textile mill products to the various markets of tbe East, North and West by special cotton goods trains. Tex tile mill products are assembled daily at Spencer transfer (Salisbury, N. C.,) at Hayne transfer (Spartanburg, S. C.,) and at Inman transfer (Atlanta, Ga..), where they are loaded into package ears and forwarded on special trains sched uled for continuous movement to South ern Railway terminals. Daily through trains operat from Spencer and Hayn.e uniting at Asheville, N. C., and. carry through ears of cotton goods to Cincin nati, Louisville, St. Louis, Chicago, Kan sas City, and other points in the North and Northwest byway of Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis gateways. This schedule is connected at Knoxville wit through train service via Chattanooga to Memphis, carrying package cars to and Deyond that point. Mill products loaded daily at Inman transfer are han dled on solid through trains to Cincin nati, Louisville, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans and beyond. From each of these transfer points through train sched ules carry cotton goods to tbe East via Potomac Yard (all rail) and via Pinners Point-Norfolk (rail and water). From the South Carolina section there is a daily package car service to Charleston, by which route, in connection with tthe Clyde Steamship Line, expeditious rail aud-water service is provided to New York and tbe East.” Borglum Is To Make His Home In T « ’ Raleigh.
