GNORING PLAT- FORWOiSES Mr, Bryan Thinks That Democrat ic Support of Wo1 .Schedule R ?is ioyViolatiou of Plat form Promises. Washington, June 2. The Democrats of the House arestill struggling with the vexing problem of revising the wool schedule of the tariff. Oscar Underwood, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee which pre sented to the caucus the 50 per cent, reduction wool tariff bill declaring that he is confident the caucus will adopt it by a two-thirds vote and' thus bind ev ery Democrat to support the measure on the floor. "Mr. Bryan's opposition to our wool program and his demand for free, wool have had the effect of increasing cur supporters," said Underwood. "We have more votes for our wool bill than we had before Bryan delivered his at tack on us and tried to stir up trouble by inducing Democrats to bolt the cau cus. I am sure we will have a two thirds majority." On the other hand, the Bryan eoharts led by representative Francis B. Harri son, of New York, were confident of conducting a very successful night against "violation of platform pledges" and prepared to battle hard for free wool. They believe they could prevent a two-thirs vote in favor of Underwood's measure, so that every Democrat would be free to take any position he liked on the fhor of the House. The Wool Revision bill, as presented to the Democratic caucus by Underwood (Dem., Ala.) provides for a duly of 2n per cent, advalorem on sheep wool and the hair of the camel, goat, alpaca or other animals, as against a duty equiv alent to 44 31 per cent, ad valorem in the Puyne-Al 'rich law.

Saturday afternoon CHief of Police Lnpton received a telephone message from the Chief of Police at LaGrange. asking him to be on the- lookout for Herman Stocks, a young white man who had formerly lived in this city, and who was wanted at that place for sBsaulting his wife and mother-in-law with a deadly weapon. All of the officers were informed of the matter and sh rtly before 10 o'clock policeman , Parker, saw the fugitive walking down the street and immediat ely nabbed him. He was taken to po lice headquarters and a phone message sent to the Chief of Police at LaGrange telling him that his man had been lo cated and was then under arrest. He requested the local officers . ts hold him . and that he would arrive on the morn ing train. .This he did and Sunday af ternoon Stocks was carried back to face the charge against him. Stocks has a very spectacular career. Several years ago he resided in this city and during tbe entire time that he . was here he was continually in fear of the law. Feeling against him at La Grange, it is learned, is very severe and he will doubtless get the full penalty of the law for his offense. We sell the White Moun tain Freezers.' Send us your orders. J.

Prohibition Kills The Dram Tree. One of the interesting landmarks of Cape Fear River is the "Dram Tree." It is an old cypress, moss-covered, and tmlatMl arui ntiarlvi hv. nprhnnn cen turies of storm and stress. Somehow in ' early history it became recognizee as the proper place for taking a drink when passing either up or down the river. Outgoing sailors taking a last' view of Wilmington, and perhaps the fluttering hankerchiefs of dear ones. drank a toast to success and a prosper ous return; incoming masters recogniz ed the propriety of passing the grog and giving every sailor lad a drink in honor of safe return. Even the fisher men going out would linger at the "Dram Tree" to exchange a word with skippers in other boats, and perhaps to to drink out of each other's jugs. It was, in fact, quite a social center for those whose inclinations led them to ward a life on the binding billows. :' When the. Prohibition Law was pass ed in North Carolina a few years ago, it was soon afteward noticed that the "Dram Tree" was dying; and someone laconically replied when aiked the rea son therefor, that it was undoubtedly, due to prohibition and the infrequent libations which are now poured by the sailors in honor of the old tree.
