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.

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. - Inhuman-Mother Abandons "Recently Born Infant To Its Fate.
