for an understanding on the" question
of food stuffs for civilian population
of the belllgerant nations and sub

The destruction of the American

It is reported that several other

cal Japanese consul would not discuss
the subject.
Police Without a Clue.
A searching investigation is in prog
ress, but so far there is no clue to
the identity of the man who attempted
to perpetrate the act . v
From prominent persons in the Jap
anese colony has come the information
that the government in Tokyo has
been apprised ot the act, and that much
leeling has been created, not only
among the Japanese In this city, but
in Ja pan as well,' In the local colony
it has been asserted that had the plan
to destroy the building been success
ful, it is doubtful if the Japanese gov
ernment could have withstood the
clamor for reprisal by force, and that
a declaration ot - war undoubtedly
would have ensued.
"Crank" Is Blamed. .
On the part of the Japanese consul
'here, and on the part'of the more cod
scrvative of the prominent members of
the Japanese colony there is a dispo
sition to place the blame for the act
on some person designated as a
"erank," and this explanation is being
made to try and placate the more rad
ical members of the local colony. Rep
resentations to this effect also have
been made to tihe Japanese papers ln
Tokyo and other cities In Japan.

COURT CLERKSHIP
The ' celebrated Jennings-Godwin
case, ln which T. E. Jennings, defeat
ed Republican nominee for clerk of
court, seeks to oust Judge C. E. God
win, the successful Democratic nomi
nee, and take for himself the very
lucrative office ot clerk ot the Super
ior court of Davidson county, came
up in Davidson court this week. ' The
Dispatch reports that the -case drew
a big crowd. The plaintiff Jennings,
appealed from the decision ot Com
missioner McRae, in which he held
that witnesses could not be compelled
to give evidence that would tend to
incriminate them. This ruling prac
tically wrecked the investigation con
ducted here last week, because wit
nesses absolutely refused to answer
questions. Judge Bynum, one ot the,
plaintiff's lawyers, opened by reading
decisions from law-books .for about
half an hour, for the purpose of show
ing that witnesses could be forced to
testify and that the statute provided
a full and general pardon for any
wrong-doing admitted by the witness.
-Mr. E. E. ftaper, attorney for Judge
Godwin, argued that the statute pro
vided a pardon only for Illegal voting
and not, for Illegal registration or per
jury ln getting his name on the reg
istration books. He also argued that
the statute referred to applied only
to contested elections before the gen
eral assembly.
' He was followed by Capt. F. C. Rob
bins, Z. I. Wals'er, Wade H. Phillips
and Gen. Z. V. Walser, all speaking
for Judge Godwin.
Mr. J. R. McCrary followed speak
ing for the plaintiff and Mr. A. E. Hol
ton, former United States District At
torney, closed for the plaintiff.
Continued For Jennings.
" Judge Lyon ruled that the witness
es should have been compelled to an
swer questions, thus over-ruling Com
Missioner McRae and the case was
continued to the May term of court
The question of continuing the inves
tigation before a commissioner was
sugested by attorneys for Jennings
and Judge Lyon took the matter under
advisement and will make an order la
ter. The order of continuance was made
on motion of the plaintiff, Jennings.
Judge Godwin's attorneys announced
that they were ready and anxious tor
trial. -

EX-MAYOR OF NEW YORK
VISITS GUILFORD COUNTY
Greensboro, Feb.25. Hon Seth Low,
ex-preBldent of Columbia University
and' ex-Mayor ot New York, came to
Greensboro yesterday afternoon, ac
companied by Mrs. Low and Mr. Frank
Trumbull, chairman of the directorates
of the Chesapeake ft Ohio and the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroads.
They came ln Mr. Trumbull's private
oar from Tuskegee Institute, Booker
er Washington's school for negroes at
Tuskegee, Alabama, of which Messrs.
Trumbull and Lowe are trustees. The
primary object of their stop ln Oreeivs-
boro was to visit the Palmer Memorial
Institute In the eastern ipart of the
county, a negro school conducted upon
donations of Northern philanthropists.
This schol has an enrollment-of about
150 and Is conducted by Charlotte Haw
kins, a negro woman, who has the Yan
kee negro viewpoint While here Mr.
Low discussed conditions In the South,
and expressed the hope that Southern
planters would undertake more diver

self as thoroly In sympathy with the
Democratic administration so tar as in
ternational questions were concerned.
The executive committee of the
Children's Home are planning tor the
erection of another building to be
known as the administration building,
An effort will be made at once to raise
$50,000 for this purpose. This is the
most urgent need ot the constitution
and will put it in good shape for en
largement of its work.
The High Point building, the Smith
building and the Cornelius building
are completed and first class in every
particular, but the Home still waits
for an administration building, and
other cottages which are badly need
ed.
The committee at a recent meeting
held at the Home highly commended
the work being done. - Superintendent
Walter Thompson has the larm fa
fine shape, and this feature, as well
as all the work of the superintendent
highly pleased the members of the
committee. . ...
It was decided to start a campaign
at once to raise the funds necessary
to provide the administration build
ing. Rev. J. H. West field agent for
the Home, will launch a movement
to raise 150,000 at once. Greensboro
has entered into the campaign with
keen interest and a plan was launch
ed at West Market Street- church
Sunday looking to raising sufficient
Interest among the congregations of
that city to erect the building. How
ever, other churches of the state are
urged to co-operate in the movement
and guarantee the early realization

PART OF FORSYTH
Bill Defeated ln House After
Strong Efforts on Part of .
Forsyth Members.
Raleigh, Feb. 25. The senate pass
ed this morning the bill providing a
new charter tor Winston-Salem.
In the house there was a lengthy
contest over the bill providing tor the
annexation ot Little Yadkin township,
Yadkin county, to Forsyth county and
lu the end tits bill was defeated by a
considerable majority. .-' v I.
This bill came up under a favorable
committee report and Representatives'
Mlckel and Hanes, of Forsyth, both
spoke strongly for the bill and ex
plained by the use of maps the ad
vantages that would accrue to Little
Yadkin thru annexation to Forsyth.
Mr. Hanes said that all but four clti
ens ot the township were in favor ot
annexation, v
Representative Williams, of Yadkin,
made a splendid speech ln opposition
to the bill. He said the slicing oft
of this township would mean the tak
ing of one-eleventh ot the taxable prop,
erty of the county and ha was advised
that It would impair the standing of
Yadkin county, bonds, This brought
an amendment to the bill providing
that the voters should not participate
in the approaching bond election. The
annexation was opposed by Judge Bat
tie, of Nash county;-Representatives
By nam, ot Chatham and Drier ot Ire
dell, all of whom insisted that the fact
that the river would be the boundary
line war! no valid reason for taking
this valuable section of Yadkin and
giving It to Forsyth. ..
Raleigh, Feb. 2Gj "There's still
about 10,000 gallons of that N. Glenn
Williams whiskey on hand In Little
Yadkin township. I reckon they want
to annex part of 'Yadkin county to
Forsyth so they may confiscate this
10-year-old liquor under their searoh
and selsure .)ct;vv'iiyv.va--4c-
8o 8. C. Williams; who opposed the v
annexation, unburdened himself, while
the committee on counties, cities and .'
towns, In executive session yesterday, '
were deciding to vote favorably the
bill giving Forsyth a slice ot Yadkin

Some one else remarked that For
syth was a mighty close county, elect
ing some of its offices by as many as
two, sometimes, and sometimes fully
four . votes. ' - : ' v u .'. ; w s
In Little Ysdkin township there's a
very substantial majority ot Demo
cratic voters.
Isn't lt needless to say, asserted this
opponent of the bill, that - Forsyth ;
needs these true Democratic votes! .
These were two of the reasons ad-
vanced for Forsyth's desire to own a
part ot her sister county's terrltoryi
And according to the committee
that's just what's going to happen. -
" Arguments Pleasing.
The arguments before the commit.'
tee were moderate in tone and offered
a quite delightful contrast to the
methods usually pursued at similar ,
festive occasions.
It was claimed that the river sep
arating the township from the rest of
Yadkin county was a natural barrier.
Reference was made to a ford, now
dangerous to cross, once used by.
Cornwallts and his army. '
8. C. Williams, of Yadkin, represent
ed that county. ' '
Judge O. H. Hastings and Attorney '
F. F, Baldwin, ot Winston, repre
sented Forsyth.
There was no large delegation pres
ent : Among those at the hearins
were S. H. Nadlng, J. P. Sprinkle, J. J.
Klger, W. H. Polndexter, C. V, Dun
nagon, L. A. Speas.
- Forsyth Is bonded tor 1185,000, ' It
was stated, while Yadkin has no
bonded indebtedness. Yadkin Is on
the eve of voting bonds and building
roads, and taking away a part of Its
territory would disrupt things. ,
