The News and Observer correspondent once heard Honorable Claude Kitchin, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, remarK something to the effect: That he did not care what a hos tile press and an antagonistic pub lic opinion thought of him i o loi.g as he was faithful to histrust, Lad the well . wishes of his district, and the respect of his colleagues in Con grf". His next dor neighbor in Washington has written a tine ap preciation of Claude Kitchin. The latter was sent Arthur Brisbane, ed itor ot the Washington Times, and is herewith reproduced. The author of letter was J. L. Leverton: "I, as an individual, merchant, and American citizen, desire to ex tend to you thank" and appreciation of your very abb editorial published in the Washington Times, Tuesday, October 22, in defense of Congress man Kitchin against the most unfair attacks of the New York Sun. "It so happens that I know the thing uppermost in Mr. Kltchln's mind, in framing the tax bill, vras to do justice to all, and in doing so he could not, as you state so cleiuly in your editorial, see why the big war profits and millionaires should not be taxed heavily when all they wers giving was money gotton through the war, while at the same time our American boys were giving their lives. He figured no cost shou'd be commensurate with the giving of one's life. "I am a neighbor and friend of Mr. Kitchin, and for tvo months 1 watched him night and day alone (his family being in North Carolina) studying these tax problems with the one idea to do justice to all as he thought the American people wanted It. "Again expressing my admiration for your courage to defend a con gressman's acts, when such is so de served, and as an advertiser in the Washington Times, I fell it my duty to assure you of my support for such a worthy defense of Congressman Kitchin."

Celebrate Hilariously the Com ing; of Peace and the End of the Great War At Sheffield, Ala., for the Mur der of the County Sheriff, and PARIS CRAZY WITH JOY RIOTING IS EXPECTED By George Ronwlck, in N. Y. Times. Amsterdam, Nov. 12. I learn on very good authority that the Kaiser made a determined effort to stave off abdication. He went to head quarters with the deliberate inten tion of brinu'the aimy around to his side. In tins he failed miserably. His main support consisted of a number of officers, nearly all of Prussian regiments, who formed themselves ii.to two regiments and placed themselves at his Majesty's disposal. To do anything with such support was Keen, of course, to b'J Gibertian. During the nignt the Kaiser call ed the Crown Prince, Hindenburg, and General (ironev to him, and the consultation lasted a couple of hours. Both ollicurs strongly press ed the Kaiser to bow to the Inevita ble, and Hindeinburg informed him that any more delay in coming to a decision to abdicate would certainly have the most terri..e consequences and lead to serious events in the ar my. For those consequences, Hin denburg said, he must refuse n-. sponsibility. The Crown Prince, it is said, was the first to give way. General Gro ner fully supported HiHndenburg's view, but when the conference broke up the Kaiser remained unconvinc ed of the advisability of abdication. He is said to have come to his final decision an hour later, after several communications had reached him from Berlin and after another shon talk with Hindenburg. Meanwhile, his son-in-law, the Duke of Brunswick, for himself and his heir, had abdicated. "Bruns wick's Fated Chieftain" was forcad without fighting to abdicate. Re ports have it that the republican movement iin Brunswick, which long before the war was chafing un der autocratic conditions, began to be noticed even before it was set in motion at Kiel. E. a S. Amsterdam, Nov. 12. It is stated on good authority here that William Hohenzollern, the former German Emperor, will be interned in Holland. So many reports have been pub lished of the Kaiser that it is diffi cult to keep up with him, but it seems that he has gone to Maas tricht, Holland, and is proceeding to Middachten Castle, in the town of De Steeg, near Utrecht." De Steeg is on the Guelders Yssel, an arm of the Rhine River, about forty miles east of Utrecht and twelve miles from the German bor der. The Chateau Middachten, to which the former Emperor is report ed to be proceeding, belongs to Count William Frederick Charles Henry von Bentinck. He is a mem ber of the Prussians Guards, and be fore the war was altache of the Ger man Embassy in London, and a member of the English Turf and Royal Automobile Clubs. He is 38 years old. He belongs to the famous Anglo-Dutch-German house of Ben tinck, the continental branch of the family of the Duke of Portland. Mid dachten Castle dates back to the year 1697. According to the Daily Mail the former German Emperor's party, which Is believed to include Field Marshal von Hindenburg, ar rived at Eysden, (midway between Liege and Maastricht) on the Dutch frontier, at 7:30 o'clock Sunday morning. Practically the whole German General staff accompanied the for mer Emperor, and ton automobiles carried the party. The automobiles were brlBtling with rifles, and all the fugitives were armed. The Empress Is reported with him. The ox-Kaiser was In uniform. He alighted at the Eysden station and paced the platform, smoking a cig arette.

Whiteside a negro and self confessed murderer of John Graham, a chief of police wa staken from the Tom bert county jail by a mob early to day and was hanged on the banks of the Tennessee river on the spot where Graham was killed. Race feel ing is high and more trouble is ex pected. Two days ago another negro named George Bird was also lynched as an accessory to the crime. qmet, but Belgians among then, yelled out "En voyage!" Chatting with the members of the staff, the former Emperor, the cor espondent says, did not look in the 'east distressed. A few minutes lat er an imperial train, including res taurant and sleeping cars, ran into the station. Only servants were aboard.
