today, ill a formal statement, points to
Its recent recommendation to Congress
tat th government be given power to

The Commission again emphasizes
what it considers the need for more
power. Atone time it says a formal
complaint against newsprint manufac
turers was considered but the plan
was not carried out for fear of embar
rassing the Department of Justice,
which meanwhile had started prosecu
tion against the manufacturers for al
leged violations of the anti-trust laws.

Raleigh, July 10. Judge Albert L.
Cox, holding court this week in Mont
gomery, is not without friends at an
other court, charged with the naming
of a colonel for . the artillefy- reginieht
which volunteered for service in
France.
- Judge Cox's formidable - opponent
is Judge S. Glenn Brown, of Greens
boro, former judge of the city court,
and crack soldier of ' the Boer war.
Governor Bickett will have the last
word, and this week will . doubtjess
end one of the most: interesting con
tests in which the military ' about
Raleigh has -bepome concerned.
Both aspirants, if they are openly
seeking the honor, are backed by
great influences and the soldiers are
greatly divided. .
It may have been designed as a se
cret, but it has ceased to be one, that
the adjutant general's office is lend
ing its influence to Judge Brown.
Capt. Sidney C. Chajnbers, of Durham,
is likewise said to be a supporter of
Judge Brown. Brigadier General Lau

eral, is a champion of , Judge Cox as

Governor Bickett today pardoned
Robert F. Creed., fcf Surry county, a
boy of 18 years, who was serving ,2 1-2
years, for the seduction under promise
of marriage of a girl who is now zi
years old.. The Governor is more
laconic in his .reasons than usual.
What he has hitherto written in them
is not quite so interesting as what he
has not written in - the reasons;' for
the pardon , of today. - The boy was
17, the girl 20. He served 18 months
and was a model prisoner. He gets
a full amnesty. L
The reasons: -"Eighteen months in
the penitentiary is . punishment a
plenty for a 17-year-old boy who; se
duces a 20-year-old woman," says the
Governor. -It was all that he did say.
