There will be a great difference be tween the first conference of gover nors and that which is now about to meet.

The sessions will this time be held at the Willard Hotel, There will be eminent men and "dis tinguished citizens" here this time, as last, but President Taft has made no attempt to single out the "Ave meet eminent Americans," as was done by President Roosevelt when he invited Graver Cleveland, William Jennings Bryan, Andrew Carnegie, James J. Hill and John Mitchell to attend in that capacity. . Forty-six 6tatea and Territories and 60 commercial, manufacturing, shipping, banking, agricultural, la bor, professional and reform organ isations are to be represented at the Civie Federation convention.

Governor Kitchin, who is here attenditig the Governors' conference, had a very in teresting meeting today with Gover nor Pothier of Rhode Island at the White House this afternoon, where they called on the President. They stood side by side in the picture tak en of the Oovernors. Governor Po thier thinks the hill repealing the statute which made possible the ac ceptance of the old North Carolina carpetbag bonds will be repealed by the Rhode Island Senate just as it has been in the House. Governor Pothier would have refused to sign the hill had he been in possession of the information with reference to their history that he now has. Tomorrow night Oovernor and Mth. Kitchin dine at the White House along with the other executives and their COOK GIVES LIFE TO SAVE Hid COMB ADS William Exley Loses His Life on Burning Steamer Which Was De stroyed. An Elizabeth City special to the Churlote Observer of the 10th savs: 'The steamer Estelle Randell of the Farmers and Merchants North Caro lina line, was destroyed by fire and Will'tt'a F.xlcy, a vbite mnn about 50 years old and cook, wa Imn.ed to death. The steamer left hm yester day aftenoon for Columbia and had unloaded her car nl tin', inrl and was moored at tSe whsrf. When the flames were first discovered the en tire forward deck was eneveloped and there was no way to check them. The crw, most of whom had retired, rushed out of berths scantly clad and frightened. All reached safety ex cept Exley, who turned into the cab in to help others and perished. The second engineer had a narrow escape, but jumped overboard and swam ashore. Exley was from Coinjock, Cnrrick county, and was a highly respectetd citizen. The steamer was a total loss, but was partiall covered by insurance. The Estelle Randall was one. of the largest and most mag nificent steamers in North Carolina and plied between this port and Nor folk, via Columbia. 6he had just re sumed her route after having under gone extensive repairs on the rail ways. The loss of the eostly steamer falls heavily on the stockholders, most of whom are merchants and far mers of Currituck count. Many friends in this city will be glad to know that the condition of Mrs. Claude Ramseur is somewhat im proved. ..;'.'''.? public acouhting- compensation for accidents.

The Mighty Hunter Is Denounced in House By Wsw Yorkers. Washington, D. C, Jan, 18. (With out debate and by a vice voce, vote, the House today adopted the confer ence report on the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry resolution, and then devoted almost of five hours to further dis cussion of the urgent deficiency ap propriation bill. Consideration of this measure was not concluded. The session was somewhat enliven ed by criticisms of former 'President Roosevelt by Representatives Harri son and Fitzgerald of New Tork, the former denouncing him for appoint ing Representatives to the third mari time conference to be held ot Brus sels next April withouth dne authority of law, and the latter because of bis alleged numerous violations of the civil service law. After cleaning up the calender by pasing about forty bills, the majority of them being of private character the Senate adopted a resolution re questing the Secretary of the Treas ury to adivse the Senate if newspa per reports were true that the custom house at Newport News, Va., was to be closed tomorrow in observance of the anniversary of General R. E. I zee's birthday. Warm Fight Ahead. The effort on the part of the Re publican House organization to dis place the Democratic caucus nomi nees for places on the Ballinger-Pin-ehot inestigating committee, now well under way, promises to precipi tate a warm tight either in the Repub lican caucus which has been called for Wednesday night, or on the floor of the ITouse when the matter comes to a final vote. The Democrats announce that they will rcM-nt any atcnit to turn down their selections and a considerable number of insurgent Republicans say they will support them on the ground that the minority has a right to name its own committee members. The in surgents are badly divided on the proposition, and the indications are that a larger number of them will re frain from attending the Republican caucus, as they do not wish to be bound bv the result. Representative Dwright, the Repub lican whip, put in a large part of to day circulating the petition for the caucus among the members and se cured a long list of signatures, which included about a half dozen insur gents. It was generally understood on all sides that the language of the caucus call which provided for the election of the "House members of the com mittee" meant that the majority would attempt to displace Representa tives James and Rainey, the Demo cratic selections, in addition to choos ing the four Republican members. Several Democratic members inter- viwed today, declared if Republican caucus choose them instead of Messrs. James and Rainey that they would decline to serve. The Cmmpacker Bill. Striking a blow at the alleged manipulation of slaughter house products and the effect on the high cost of living, the Cmmpacker bill, providing for enumeration at the com ing census of all eattle, calves, sheep, lambs, hogs, goats and kids slaughter ed was ordered favorably reported to day by the Douse census committee. The bill provides for a full census of hides to show increases in number and prices and to determine whether these products are under the control of a combination to affect market prices. The small country slaughter ing housesc as well as the big packing houses, would be affected. ; ! The committee proposes to press the proposed inquiry. . . -) "J, ' Prejudiced Opinion. i Stray Storios.i, .':'v: v "f -"What did the poet mean when he called his' country, 'the land of , the free and the borne of the brave T"' ' 1 "He was probably .referring; .to bachelors' and tnarired men,' said old Mr. Smithers sadly.

A half million dollar deal in real estate, Lav ing for its purpose a duplication of the present Dupont-DeNemours Pow der Company at an approximate cost of $750,000, became known today, It means that the Dupont Powder Company will, in all probability, build a conterpart of its present 12- story office building, thereby doub ling the size of the structure in which the company has its headquarters, The work of acquiring the remaind er of the real estate in the block bounded by Market, Orange, Tenth ane Eleventh streets, has been under way for some time. As a duplication of the present building will mean an expenditure of about three-quarters of a million, it will be seen that, with all of the present plans consummated fully $1,500,000 will be involved in the entire transaction. , It is proposed to extend the build ing down Market street, between Tenth and Eleventh streets. The only properties in the block, it is stated, which will eventually not be secured by the powder company will be the $250,000 Young Men's Christian As sociation structure at Tenth and Or ange streets and the Ward Apartment House, owned by Oeorge B. Ward. The approximate value of the Mar ket street properties on which options have been secured is $250,000. Fully this much additional will be expended in the acquitment of other properties. The addition will be built by the Manufacturers' Contracting Company which erected the present building. This company is allied with the Du ponts, but is separate from the pow der corporation. The growth of the Dupont company has been so great within the past cou pie of years that the demands for of fice room have far exceeded the sup ply. It was at first proposed to erect four additional stores to the present building, the original plans having provided for such an enlargement.. It was decided, however, that this would be impracticable because of the neces sary rearrangements of the interior of the structure. MILLS HOLD MEETING. Wiscassett and Ef ird Mills Hold Meet ing in This City Yesterday and De clare Dividend of 4 Per Cent.
