Grand Lodge of Masons In Session.
Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 11. The Grand
Lodge of Masons of North Carolina
began here last night the one hun
dred and twenty-fourth annual ses
sion of the order, the meetings being
held in the handsome new Masonic
Temple, there being in attendance be
tween six and seven hundred dele
gates, the membership representative
of the best life of North Carolina,
coming from all sections of the State.
The Grand Lodge will be in session
through Thursday morning, when the
installation of officers will take place,
and the initial session last night gave
promise of a meeting of great interest
and value. The reports showed pro
gress under the administration of
Grand Master R. N. Hackett, of.
Wilkesboro, ten lodges having been
added to the order, making now a
total of 385, the increase in member
ship in the year being about one
thousand, making the total member
ship about 21,000. In its various divi
sions the work of the order was found
to be in excellent condition.
Mr. Ed. Gorham Hurt.
(Rocky Mount Record.)
While at. his duties as manager of
the Planters' Cotton Seed Oil Mill yes
terday afternoon, Mr. Ed. Gorham re
ceived injuries that it was at first be
lieved were fatal, though within less
than two hours after the accident he
again gained consciousness and it" is
believed today that his condition is
no serious. . Mr. Gorham was in the
shipping room and was in the act of
tagging a quantity of cotton seed meal
that was bagged and piled when the
bags rolled down from a considerable
height, striking Mr. Gorham and
burying: him under an avalanche of
them. It is estimated that there was
about four tons of the bagged meal
that rolled down, though it did not
all come upon Mr. Gorham at one
time, tor it would have crushed the
life out of him. Hands at work in
the mill immediately went to Mr. Gor
ham's relief and he was taken from
beneath the bags, and medical atten
tion was immediately summoned. This
mornings it is found that no internal
injuries were suffered and no bones
broken, though the body is consider
ably bruised up, to the extent that it
will necessitate his remaining within
his room for some little time, v
Damage to Puritan - Greater
Thought.
Than
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 11. It has been
learned from the wreckers that the
damage resulting to the monitor Puri
tan from the tests of the new explo
sive recently made was more exten
sive than, first reported.
Many of the plates on the bottom
of the monitor were sprained, causing
rents, these delaying the work of
getting the hull in condition for rais
ing. In the opinion of one of. the
divers, the monitor would have gone
to the bottom in five minutes had she
been in deep water when the explo
sion occurred. '

conduct.
Mr. H P. Thorpe, of Rocky Mount,
was here this afternoon.
DENY RESTRAINT TRADE
Washington, D. C, Jan. 11: Coun
sel for the tobacco corporations yes
terday pounded the government's po
sition in seeking to have the Su
preme Court of the United States dis
solve the so-called "Tobacco Trust."
First, DeLancey Nicoll addressed the
court. He was followed by John G.
Johnson, and he in turn by W. B.
Hornblower. The last spoke on be
half of the Imperial Tobacco Compa
ny, referred to as the "British To
bacco Trust." The first two appeared
for the American Tobacco Company.
During Mr. Hornblower's address,
Justice Harlan, whose love of good to
bacco has been the basis of many
amusing incidents around the court,
asked if any reason could be advanced
as. to why he was unable to get any
chewing tobacco that was not un
sound, or rotton, or adulterated. "The
Imperial Tobacco Company never
manufactured chewing tobacco," the
attorney replied. "My understanding
is that the English people do not
chew tobacco, and the only demand
for it in England is by tourists."
DeLancey Nicoll in his argument
to the court said:
"The history of the American To
bacco Company is the history of the
expansion of trade, not of its re
straint. The business structure
which its capital has erected is a
triumph of American industry. It is
the government's largest tax-payer.
It has no enemies except competitors
who Would rise to fortune and' politi
cians who would rise to fame on its
ruins. The enormous patronage it
receives from the public attests its
popularity.
"What more preposterous proposal
was ever made to this court than that
it should lend its aid to destroy this
great business, to raze this fabric of
American industry to the ground,
drive buyers from the markets, until
the tobacco rots in the field, withdraw
this pioneer of commerce from" for
eign marts, embarrass merchants, an
noy Customers, and destroy the re
turning confidence of the financial and
industrial world ! I cannot believe
that any such proposal will find fa vol
in this august tribunal, where com-
monsense prevails, where reason
reigns, and where passion and pre
judice play no part."
Mr. Johnson first attacked the gov
ernment's reference to the Wilson
tariff act of 1894 as a Congressional
interpretation of the Sherman act pi
1890. Mr. McReynolds had made this
reference in support of a broad inter
pretation of the Sherman act. Mr.
Johnson . said that he had always be
lieved that such a second enactment
indicated that the legislature consid
ered that the second act was not in
V.1 1 Jl 2 1, A
UUUVU 111 LUC 111SL.
The government's interpretation of
the Sherman act was attacked furth
er because of the insistence that the
word "material" was meant by Con
gress to be inserted before "restraint
in the statute. Mr. Johnson said that
the best minds of the country failed
to convince the court that the word
"unreasonable" should be inserted be
fore "restraint," and he prophesied
that the government's present attempt
would result in failure. Consequently,
Mr.Johnson argued that the govern
ment's whole theory fell to the
ground. ' . - -
The attorney contended that the
Knight case controlled the present
suit, and therefore that the court
must hold again that the manufacture
of goods which might later enter into
Interstate commerce could- not be
reached under the" Sherman anti-trust
law. -
Suit Over Funds.
The entire day was cpnsumed in a
hearing before Mr. S. "G. . Mewborn,
clerk, as referee in . a proceeding
brought - by James . W. Barnes and
wife, H. F. Freeman and wife et als.,
against Joe Boy kin and others, the
controversy being over some funds
that arose from the estate of the late
Garrjr Williamson. About $700 is in
volved. " ,. -
LIFE SAVERS POWERLESS
Provincetown, Mass., Jan. 11. Sev
enteen men were drowned yesterday
when ; the. barges Con win, Treverton
and Pine Forest, in tow of the tug
Lyckens, Captain Hammond com
manding, were caught in a fifty-five
mile gale and swept -away from the
vessel and driven upon Peaked Hill
bar, just off Provincetown.
The Pine Forest sank as soon as
it struck the reef, carrying five men
to the bottom. The Corwln went to
pieces in the heavy sea about two
hours after she struck, and her crew
of five perished.
- The seven men on the Treverton
fought for their lives for five hours
after the barge crashed ashore.
Heroic life-savers endeavored to
reach the barges, but were unable to
do so.
The disaster, the worst life guards
of the storm-lashed coast of grim
Cape Cod had seen in more than a
dozen years, occurred on the treacher
ous sand bars that make off from the
Peaked Hills. . They stood, on the
beach with their life boats and other
apparatus, unable to render assist
ance, while three stout coal-carrying
barges were hurled to destruction and
all on board seventeen men lost
their lives in the boiling surf. The
barges were the Treverton, Corbin
and Pine Forest, valued together at
$125,000. With the exception of Cap
tain F. I. Brown of the Treverton,
who belonged in Lincoln, Maine, and
Captain M. W. Hall, of the Pine
Forest, a Provincetown man, all were
drowned, including Captain Charles.
N. Smith, of Philadelphia, of the
barge Corbin. -

Tarboro, N. C, . Jan. 11.' Sunday

were' dispatched to the scene, where
they found a recently born infant in
the . Panola pasture,' near the brick

mother.
