Joe Buck, Colored, Held For Pre
.', llmlnary Hearing Nov. 30.
Late Saturday night U. S. Deputy
Marshal Samuel Lilly placed under
arrest near Vanceboro a 'colored man
named Joe. Buck. Several months

The List Includes Only Those
Who Succumbed While
In Harness, :
Washington, Nov. 26. The 6th
rate among . members of the United
States Senate during the last 12 yeaSj
has been ; little short of appalling
The passing away of Senator Rayner
runs the death list up to 34 in that
period, which shows that ; more that
one-third -of " the total membership of
the upper branch of Congress has passed
away. These figures do not include
the members who died after retiring
from the Senate, but only the men who
succumbed while in harness. The pre
sent membership of the Senate is 96.
The death roll includes some of the
strongest characters and most prominent
statesmen of the present generation.
Senator Rayner' death is the fifth,
counting Vice-President Sherman, a
fhong the members of the upper chara
bcrin the last eight months and during
the present session of Congress. Sena
tor Robert L. Taylor, of "Tennessn-.
died last spring after a term of f t I
years; Senator George S. Nixon,
Nevada, who was elected in 1905, wa
stricken down laBt . su mmer, and once
a month ago Senator William B. H
burn, of Idaho," who had served sin Y
1903, passed away after a few ' ths,
of illness.
The fatality among Maryland mem
bers has also been striking. Senator
Ravner is the third Marvlander to die
tor William Pinckney White, both of
whom had served in the upper cham
ber with him, yielded to the fearful
strain and arduous labors which are
now a part of the life of a Senator.
In the last dozen years such power
ful , figures as Marcus 'A .Hanna, of
Ohio; John W. Daniel, of', Virginia;
Red field Proctor, of Vermont, Stephen
B. Elkins, of West Virginia; William
P. Frye, of Maine; John T. Morgan and
Edmund W. Pcttus, of Alabama;
George F.J Hoaf,;. of , Massachusetts;
Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota,
Msltthew Stanley Quay, of Pennsyl
vania, and J. P. Dolliver, of Iowa,
have disappeared. ,
V HOME MISSIONS NEEDED.
. The frequent appearance ot news
items bearing on white slavery shows
how depraved a good-sized' element in
this country is. ' Home missions, which
are to have a week's celebration in New
Bern beginning next Sunday and which
were emphasized by a week's celebra
tion in other parts of the country two
weeks ago are surely combating a great
evil. ' There are few heathen countries
which can produce a more hideous
evils than exist right here in America.
White slavery is a mere symptom of a
badly diseased condition of public
morals. '' - :-- ;-' '
FIRE . DAMAGES DWELLING.
Fire supposed to have originated
from a defective flue caused consider
able damage to a dwelling house owned
by Ralph Davenport and located on
Miller street shortly after 7 o'clock
yesterday morning. The fire had gained
much headway before it was discovered
and it was only due to the prompt
response and hard work of the fire
fighters that the' building was not
destroyed. The loss is estimated at
three hundred dollars partially covered

Regulations Worked Out Under
Which Dressed Fowls and
Meats Can be Carried.
Washington, Nov. 25. The Parcels
Post Commission .after months of
study and investigation, have worked
out regulations by which eggs, meats
and dressed fowls can be safely earned
through the mails" from the farm to
the city consumer - under the Lewis
"Farm , Products" . provision of the
Parcels Post law, which becomes ef
fective January 4.
. Manufactureres have submitted to
the commission a scheme for light
weight corrugated paper boxes in which
these articles can be packed for trans
portation without fear of damage. ; The
egg crate is made of strong corrugated
pasteboard. . It consists of square par
titions for each egg, and the scheme
is one which the postal experts 'declare
will enable the poultrymen in the coun
try to ship eggs to any part of the United
States. Boxes have also been made for
.neats and dressed fowls. " h
The scheme is one which is it said
will go a long ways tward breaking
down the high price of eggs in the cities.
The poultrymen on the farm, it is
pointed out, can advertise in city news
papers for customers of about a dozen
eggs once or twice a week, delivery by
parcels post, i.: At the present time the
price of eggs in, the cities is nearly
three times greater than it is in the
country. The same scheme regarding
dressed fowls can be worked, by which
the city consumer can have delivered
at his door a dressed chicken at a little
over half what it costs retail in the cities.
The city butcher, on the other hand,
with the meat crate that has been pro
vided for him, can send to the urban
resident or a nearby farmer every
morning a roast or steak, witn tne
establishment of these facilities the
postal experts declare it now remains
with the city merchants and the poultry'
man and trucker in the country to
extend their trade through the medium
of the parcels post.; ;
The Parcels Post Commission has
also worked out the insurance regula
tion; by which valuable packages sent
by city merchants to their urban trade
can be indemnified in case ot loss.
This means that the insurance provision
of the law will be put into operation
when the parcels post is inaugurated
in January. The collection delivery
system has not yet been perfected, but
the experts expect to orginate a scheme
for returning the money collected on
delivery - of packages without much
bookkeeping on the part of the Govern
ment. Some of the experts believe
that the parcels post collection delivery
business will eventually bring fractional
currency. If this is done , they con
tend, (he problem to return . money
will not be hard to solve.
Steps were taken today by Postmaster
General Hitchcock to ascertain just to
what extent city and town merchants
intend to use the parcels post. Each
postmaster, has been sent circulars
that contain a number of questions
which, ,when, answered, will give the
department detailed information as
to any particular city, town or locality,
showing the average number of fourth
class parcels now mailed; the number
that will probably be maialed when the
parcels post law becomes effective,
together with the average weight of
the parcels and their average size;
what proportion of the entire number
will be mailed in large quantities at
frequent intervals or in regular .daily
mailings; whaC-percentage of the par
eels will be insured, registered, made up
of perishable or fragile articles, and
whether when the "C. O. D." feature
is placed in operation any considerable
portion of the parcels will be sent by
that method.' v. ' '
With this information available Post
master-General Hitchcock believes that
if will be possible (or him to begin the
parcels-post service on January 1 with
the necessary equipment,, and thus
establish a nation-wide service of large
proportions with the least possible
friction. ' It is his desire to give to the
patrons of the postal service at the
outset all of the pnvilcgea and advant
ages contemplated by the law ettab

BRICK ARE A DOLLAR HIGHER
Difficulty of Getting . Labor . Is
. i- - - -.. -
One of The- Reasons of -The
Advanco. "
One of the greatest problems that
the local contractors and builders are
facing.just at thistime is the .scarcity
and high prices of brick and cement.
This , condition is accounted for by
several causes, one of which is the
scarcity of freight ; cars in which to
transport ' the brick from the yards
and the cement from the manufactur
ing plants. , ' ,j !
In November ,1910 ,brick could be
purchased at about six dollars per
thousand. A few months, ago this
price was increased .fifty cents a thous
and and recently another fifty cents
has been added..: They are now scllin?
at the yards for seven dollars per thous
and. There are several brick vards
within a radius - of ' twenty-five mils
of New Bern and the greater majority
of the brick used here are secured at
one or the other of these." The freight
rate is about eighty cents per thousand,
making the cost delivered in New Bern
about eight dollars per thousand.'
Then, too, the brjck , manufacturers
say that they are handicapped in secur
ing sufficient labor and this tends to
make an increase in the price of their
product. ' t ' ,
The price of cement has also increas
ed, though not so much in proportion
as brick and it is hard to secure prompt.
hipments of large Quantities. V
' This condition prevails not alone in
New Bern but in a large number of
towfis in North Carolina. Particularly
in the Western part of the State is it
causing mcuh trouble; ,t -
The demand for both these varieties
of building material has . been very
large during the past few months and
this has doubtless had something to do
with the present condition.

WANTS THEM AS LAWMAKERS
Give Them Privileges of Floor,
; No Vote and a Salary . '
of $17,500.
Washington, Nov.- 25. As a result
of the disscussion aroused by Andrew
Carnegie's offer to pension ex-presidents
and their widows, a movement is al
ready on foot to -avoid the need of the
pension for retired Presidents by mak
ing them permanent "Representatives-at-Large."
with seats in the Hjjss. :i -i
. Representative Albert ,S. Burleson,
of Texas, who has: been prominently
mentioned for Secretary of Agriculture
in the Wilson Cabinet, is behind the
scheme, and he has already drafted a
provision which" he will try to induce
the Committee on appropriations to
insert in the Legislative, Executive and
Judicial Appropriations bill. His pro
posed provision is as follows: . ;
''Hereafter every ex" -president ' of the
United States shall, during his life, be
held and regarded as a Representative-at-Large
of the people of the ;United
States and shall be entitled to the pri
vilege of the floor of the House of Repre
sentatives, with all the rights of mem
bers of the. House of Representatives,
save that of voting, and shall receive
for hij services an annual salary of
$ 17,500 provided that no obligation
to serve on committees of the House
shall be imposed upon such representa
tive.",'. ' ':'-
Mr. Burleson said that such members
as he had met seemed to approve' his
plan. A subcommittee of the Com mi te .
on Appropriations, of which Mr. Burle
son is a member, is already at work on
the general bill, and Mr. Burleson hopes
to have the subcommittee first, and
then the full committee accept his text
or something like it as a part of the
original measure that will be reported
to the House. If the provision meets
general approval Mr. Bulrcson, will
seek to protect it against a point of
order " new legislation by securing
from the Committee on Rules a special
resolution permitting it, to stand on
it - meats. .
To give the proposed representa
tives:at -large", votes in "the House
would, of course, require a constitutio
nal amendment but such an'amend
ment. in Mr. Bulreson's opinion, will
be unneccessary for his plan. The.Con-
atitution provides that "the House of
Representatives shall be composed of
members" chosen every second year b
the people of the several States." But
that section has not been construed as
preventing the seating of territorial
delegates and the resident commissioner
from Porto Rico and the Phillippines.
under Mr. bulrcson s plan ex-presi-
dents, except for the larger salary, would
be in the position of territorial delegates
who can speak in their own right, but
cannot vote. Should it be adopts Col.
one! Roosevelt could address the House
whenever he secured recognition, and
he and President Taft would face each
other after March 4. Their presence
in the lower chamber, in Burleson's
belief, would add to the prestige of
the House. . ''
V The feeling is that Congress will
probably take some action in answer to
Carnegie's offer, which has been re
garded seriously here as chiefly as a
challenge to Congress. His proposal
has been almost universally condemned,
but many Congressmen have expressed
the opinion that something should be
done to provide for , ex-Prcsidents.
Mr. Burlo'sons provision will probably
be the center of a warm discussion
from which some form of pension legis
lation ofr ex-Presidents may emerge.

Jesse Wilder and George ' Seals,
colored, who have been conducting a
restaurant on South Front street near
Trent river bridhe, were placed under
arrest yesterday afternoon by Police
men Bryan and McDaniel on warrants
charging them with selling whiskey.

go in and come out in a very suspicious
manner they nabbed him. On his per

and he immediately told them that
he had purchased it from Wilder and
the tatter's arrest followed. rr
Seals is said to be a wholesale dealer
and two barrels of whiskey containing

IT'S TO RELIEVE TAXPAYERS
Vaccinated People Bore Burden
Necessary to Protect the
Unvacclnated. V ;'
Editor Journal: V .' .
There appeared in the columns of
the Journal yesterday morning a query
in regard to the abolition of quarantine
against smallpox. As the writer of
this query evidently does not under
stand the situation, and as I have
found there are many other who do
not understand it, I take the liberty,
as a member of the Craven County
Board of Health, to herewith furnish
the explanation.
The State has been for many years
expending $50,000.00 annually enforc
ing -'quarantine against ; smallpox.
Whom did ; this quarantine protect?.
Not you, who have been vaccinated,
but the unvaccinated class, those who,
from ignorance jjr other less pardon
able reasons, refuse to be vacinnatcd.
From whom did the State derive the
money to pay for .this quaratinne?
From you .who have been vaccinated,
and,, therefore, need no protection.
The unvaccinated class in practically
all instances is made up of those who -do
not pay taxes. You see then, the
answer to the query is simple. "
Vaccination is an absolute protec
tion against smallpox. . If you have
been vaccinated, you need fear small
pox , no more than chickenpox. -If
everyone were vaccinated, smallpox
would be wiped off the face of the
earth.- It : is perfectly possible' for
everyone to be vaccinated. ; This coun
ty, through its County Superintendent
of Health, will vaccinate any one free
of , charge. -Vaccination is practically
devoid of danger;.) a suckling infant
may be vaccinated with impunity, and
as a matter of fact this is really' the '
best time to vaccinate, as the reaction
at this age is comparatively slight.
Taking all these things into Consider
ation, why then should you, who pay
the taxes and have been vaccinated,
be taxed to protect those from small
pox, who pay practically no tax, and
who foolishly refuse to be vaccinated?
The State has decided that it. has no
right to thus burden you unneccessar
ily, and it has,1 therefore, abolished
quarantine against . smallpox. . It is
anticipated that by doing this, only not
will the tax payers of the State be re
licved of the cost of the quarantine,!
but also more, individuals will now be
vaccinated than formerly to protect
themselves against the disease and that,
thercfcie, the incidence of smallpox
will be considerably decreased.
When a case of smallpox occurs now
in any community in this State, it is
the duty of the County Superintendent
of Health, to put a placard on the house
in which the case is confined, and to
notifiy the public of the existence of
the case and its location. It is then
"up to" the unvaccinated individuals
in the community to take their choice,
between vaccination and protection
from the disease, or remaining unvac-
inated and - rendering themselves
libable to infection.
