Much Important legislation was accomplished,- but much contemplated, some of it hard, pressed by the Presi dent and party leaders, was left un done. ? 11) is the present intention) of tbe President and bis advisers to give Congress a rest. Rather than force an extra session, they would leave the remainder of the administration's con. structive aspirations to a- new Con gress next winter, which, altho un der Democratic control, will have a greatly reduced majority in the House. Acts of Congress. . Foremost in the enactments of the Sixtyhlrd Congress were: The Underwood-Simmons act, with the Income tax, -which replaced the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. ' The Federal Reserve Act, reorganis ing the currency system. ' Anti-trust laws to supplement the Sherman act, including the Clayton law and Federal Trade Commission act, the former providing for punish ment of individuals who violate busi ness regulations, and the latter estab lishing a government institution to aid In keeping business within the law. j Repeal of tbe Panama Canal tolls exemption for American coastwise shipping. Act. directing the building at a cost of $35,000,000 of a government railroad to the mineral fields of Alaska. Act to regulate cotton exchanges and .to penalize dealings - in purely speculative cotton future sales. - '1 A special internal revenue tax, com. monly called the "war tax."' .., . A government .war risk insurance bureau to . Insure American ships aginst the hazards of war, and an act providing for the transfer of foreign owned or built ships to American registry. . Measures Which Failed. Of those measures which failed of enactment or could not be considered for lack of time, the following are re garded by Democratic leaders as par amount: . . . Bill for government (purchase or charter of trans-oceanic ships for the establishment of an American, mer chant marine, which encountered the most stubborn filibuster in the history of the Senate, , created an insurgent movement in the Democratic ranks and held up . general legislation, for weeks of the last session. The immigration bill, Including a lit eracy test for admission: of aliens, which passed both bouses, was vetoed by President "Wilson and failed by. a narrow margin to repass the House on a motion to overturn tho veto. Conservation measures urged by the President to provide a new system for leasing of water power, sites and a leasing system to open' the mineral resources of the country. Bill to enlarge the measure of Phil ippine self-government and to extend -promise of ultimate independence to Filipino people, a measure which pass ed the House and was approved by a Senate committee. . Regulation by the Interstate Com-i mcrce Commission of the Issue of rail road securities,' originally a part of the administration's anti-trust pro gram. ' v'' --. Rural credits legislation, contemplat ing the establishment of a system of farm mortgage loan, banks, persist ently urged thruout the Congress. In addition to the foregoing, scores of general legislative bills covering a wide range of subjects died with the end of Congress, among them meas ures for federal road improvement, general waterway development, reor ganization of civil service, to prohibit importation1 of convict made goods, and several measures tor reorganiza tion of the army. ,'; 'S The last session of Congress was notable, too, for the failure of two great issues, national prohibition and woman suffrage. Proposed constitu tional amendments precipitated two of the most exciting legislative" battles In the history of the House of Repre sentatives, both measures failing to receive a necessary two-thirds vote. . Foreign Relations.' Foreign relations of the nation were constantly to the fore almost from the beginning of the Congress, the Mexi can situation requiring close attention from the outset as has the European war. Thruout the session, the Presi dent and the Senate foreign relations committee were in frequent confer ences and much was done to restrain unusual demonstrations which might have disturbed International tranquil ity. Early in the session general arbi tration treaties with several great for elgn powers were renewed for five year periods and 62 peace- commission treaties providing for investigation of international disputes before resort to arms were negotiated and ratified. A treaty- to enforce the regulations adopted by the London Safety at Sea conference was ratified last December, but with an amendment making reser vations which came too late for other powers to consider,, thus preventing enforcement of ' the convention. A treaty with Nicaragua providing for acquirement of Jhe Nicaraguaa canal route and naval stations for $3,000,OuO was left unratified by the Senate, and the pending treaty with Colombia di recting payment of $25,000,000 for the Panama canal strip was held in by the Foreign Relations committee. Closing Sessien. " The closing session of the Congress was almost wholly devoted to appro priation bills, the ship purchase bill fight, and ' tew general- measures. Aside from appropriation about tbe DARDENELLES NOV SAY DISPATCHES British, French and Russian Warships Hammering Their r , Way Thru the Straits. TURKS SAY HARDEST PART OF WORK UNDONE .London, March 4. Interest here in the (Russian campaign again has shift ed to the south. Petrograd reports that General Brussiloff has won a noteworthy victory in Baligrod inflict ing heavy losses on Au stria ns advanc ing to relieve Przemysl. j Vienna reports the repulse of des perate Russian attacks la the Carpa thians out says there is inactivity in the remainder of the Una. Berlin ad mits the German retirement from Prsasnyss, north of Warsaw, y ' In France and Belgium the French appear to be able to hold the posi tions tney have won. While British battleships are batter .ng forts No. 8 and No. 9, located ten miles within the entrance to the Dar danelles French warships from the Gulf of Saros are bombarding ths Turkish" positions at Bulair. Aerial work seems to have confirmed a re port that great Krupp guns recently sent to the Dardenelles are unmount ed. - - : .: :: . v v, , The battleships of the alies which now show all the colors of the triple entente by the addition of the Russian cruiser Askold undoubtedly have turn ed the' Dardenelles into an inferno which has spelled destruction to the Turkish defenses. On the other hand Constantinople while admitting . de struction of outer torts declares the Inner forts will withstand all fire. The Turks rely on mines but mine sweep ers have been busy. It would appear that other neutrals are awaiting the lead of the United States before embarking on any nego tiations regarding the sea policy ' of the allies. Meanwhile British news papers express uneasiness (because ol the unfavorable impression announce ment of the policy seems to have rnaat oa American public opinion. BOMBARDMENT RESUMED ON THE INNER FORTS London, March 4. -The allied- fleet this morning resumed bombardment ot the Inner forts of the Dardenelle according to dispatches from Athens. The bombardment of the inner forts was resumed Thursday morning. Ten big warships took part. According to a British officer only two of the Turk ish forts remain intact. Allied land ing parties found the charred re mains of soldiers in damaged forts showing the Turks had burned their tiead. 2 POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS ' 8HOW NICE INCREASE ' The postoffice receipts of the i city of Winston-Salem continue :' . to show material Increase. . "There Is a much better busl- ness condition today than there ' has been fpr many months," Is ; the assertion of the local post office authorities. The receipts from February aggregated $10,- 625.46, against $9,390.09 for the month of February, 1914. ' GERMAUY PUTS A CHECKON ALLAID TO THE BELGIANS only important legislative enactments included the creation of the Coast tiuard by consolidation of the Ljfe Saving and Revenue Cutter services; reclassification of grades in the Diplo matic and Consular service; require ment of registration of and imposing special taxes upon all dealers, manu facturers or Importers of opium, or its derivatives, and the creation of the Rocky Mountain National Park in Col orada. V ' ''; ' - r , Much debate on the condition of na tional defenses enlivened the closing session. Proposals for special investi gation of the preparedness of the na tion for war all failed. House naval and military committees, however, conducted public hearings on the sub ject in connection with the military supply bills. . ' Some Differences. i . ' The Congress also was marked by differences between President Wilson and some Democratic Senators over patronage; a spirited contest over con firmation of nominees for the Federal Reserve Board; two successful filbus. ters one. in the summer session against tbe rivers and harbors appro priation bill and the other the fight of Republicans and Democratic allies against tbe ship purchase bill; an un successful effort in the Senate to es tabish a cloture rule to limit prolong ed debate; institution of a special in quiry into outside influences, exerted against the ship purchase bill; a gen eral lobby investigation which ex tended for many months, and proposal of an inquiry Into senatorial campaign contributions. : , ' Pass Into Private Life. With the fall of the gavel today many senators and congressmen, long national figures, passed Into private life. Senators who retire are Root, of New York; Burton. Ohio; Perkins, California; Thornton, Louisiana; Brls tow, Kansas: Stephenson, Wisconsin; Crawford, South Datoka; Camden, Kentucky; and White, Alabama. Rep resentative Underwood leaves the House to go to the Senate. Scores of representatives la the House give way to new members. New,- Naval Order Limits Safe , Conduct for Relief Ships of All Neutral Powers. . MAY STOP SENDING OF FOOD TO STARVING FOLKS . The Hague, via London, March 4. The German government has determ ined to refuse to grant any more safe conducts for American relief ships to touch at English porta tor coal in the homeward . voyages, according to ad vices received here, and it is also re ported on the same authority that a permit tot the return voyage to the United States will be given only to vessels which take the course north of the Shetland Islands. It is considered in influential circles in Holland . that the efforts of the American commission of relief to save the civilian, population of Belgium from starvation Is thus threatened with immediate danger, as Rotterdam is the only practical port thru which the Belgians can be fed, and it is argqed that the relief ships must b able to proceed to and from that port by tbe direct. route with a safe con duct under the commission's flag, or the whole worst of relief will become absolutely hopeless for practical rea sons:...,..-.. ' ' k ,.: The American Minister to The Netherlands,, Henry Van Dyke, on be ing apprised of this report, said; "I am infinitely sorry tor this. I have done my best to get a better an swer from Berlin, but none comes. Surely ships engaged in this humane work ought to be sacred, but it seems not Just now the case looks dark. God pity Belgium it the decision stands!" . :r:.r PEFERRED REMARRIAGE TO A' ROAD SENTENCE Lexington, March 4--Burton Charles was convicted in Davidson Superior court of abandoning his wife, who was Miss Lola Foster, daughter of Mr. Q. W. Foster, of Reeds.

FATE OF LIQUOR BILL ' WILL 800N BE KNOWN Raleigh, March 4. The fate of the liquor bill is In the hsnds of the conference committee. ' Their report is expectsd to- night According to a well-informed man In the senate the commit- tee will report what Is practl- eslly the Bruce-White bill. , This permits the shipment of one quart of whiskey to on per- son a week and five gallons of . beer.. ' :. . The house it Is said will never permit tbe law to be voted on. The senate Is equally "sot" that absolute prohibition shall not prevail In North Carolina. . The house is willing to com- promise with the senate to the extent of allowing little liq- ur to find Its way to the ultl- '. mate conaumer. - - , Of course, liquor .will cost ' more, under this proposed ar- rangsmsnt . It Is said It might even make pint cost as much aa $2. But . certainly one of two things will be recommsnded by trie committee: - " : Either let the people ratify the house bill, r-'kdopt a sub- . stitute allowing shipment of liquor In smaller quantities. - It has been suggested thst the final outcome might fee no liquor legislation at all by this legists- tun. , INDIAN REVOL REPORTED GETTING GRAVE TIS TO BE Executions of Rebels Said to Be Taking Place Daily in City of Singapore.

' EVANGELIST J. W. HAM IN MEETING AT 8TONEVILLE. Raleigh, N. C March 4..Mr, am ap prised of the desire to iut the screws on and force: a resignation of Judge Carter," gays Judge J. S, Manning Ju a signed statement given the News and Observer. ? ' "I am not unaware ot the sugges tion that a satisfactory apology to So. licltor Abernethy would have resulted In withdrawing all the charges. But what man with any respect for himself could for a moment entertain either suggestion,?'' - t-, ?-; Judge Manning Is of the counsel for Judge Frank Carter. : ? r His statement simply bristles Witt) question marks which wBl not bo answered until March 5. It will be remembered that the in vestigating committwe asked for a second resolution, giving it larger pow ers. .-'.... Judge Manning's statement puts a somewhat different construction upon tills request of the committee. Under the general law, the person at whose Instance a witness is sum moned shall pay the bill. It was current rumor about the investigating committee's room that one bide intended bringing 400 wit nesses from New Berne alone. Judge Manning asks It Solicitor Abernethy Is unwilling to carry the burden im posed on, him by lawT r v ; Tbe second resolution says the state shall pay the bill, and Judge Manning asks if Solicitor Abernethy was Ignorant ot the provisions of the general law? j V - Judge Manning says it is evident that Representative Clark, who Intro duced the resolutions, had no personal kbowledge of the case. He assumes that some person had Riven htm speci fications, for it would have been a se rious imputation upon Clark to have assumed these charges were based only on gossip ot slanderous tongues. Has the Information Representative Clark later told the committee that he could give . ths names of the persons . whose state ments had convinced htm,, and upon which be had acte. . This ls'the information Judge Car ter's attorneys have been trying to get since February 22.; The statement says that the origi nal resolutions were submitted to one ot Mr. Abernethy's attorneys and a correction made in them by him as to charges of Carter's Immoral con duct, and draws attention to the fact that Judge Carter Is faced by ths pos. slblllty ot having to resign or hold courts tor two years under charges of impeachment. If tho charges are un supported, then bis Vindication must wait two years. The legislative probe committee met again yesterday afternoon, There L were no attorneys or witnesses present.'-"-. U- -- '; Chairman, Doughton said the com mittee simply talked over the case, that they will devote what time they can to it between now and the ad journment of the legislature, that they are going home then and don't expect to return to Raleigh until March 22 when the Investigation be gins.
