Washington, March 4. Twelve senators, led by Senator LaFollette and encouraged by Senator Stone, Democratic chairman of the foreign relations committee, In a filibuster denounced by President Wilson's spokesmen as the most reprehensible in the history of any civilized nation, defied the will of an overwhelming majority in Congress up to the last minute today and denied to the President a law authorizing bim to arm American merchant ships to meet the Oerman submarine menabe. Unyielding throughout 26 hours of continuous session to appeals that their defiance of the President would be humiliating to the country; un compromising in a crisis described to them as the most serious to t&e nation since, the war between the states, - LaFollette and his group of supporters refused a majority or their colleagues an opportunity to Tote on the armed neutrality bill and it died with the 64th Congress. Responsibility is Fixed, To fix responsibility before the oountry, 76 senators: 30 Republicans and 46 Democrats, signed a manifes to proclaiming to the world that they favored the passage of the measure. This declaration, embodied in the record of the senate, referred to the fact that the house Thursday night had passed a similar bill by a vote of 403 to 13, and also recited that the senate rule permitting unlimited de bate gave a small minority opportun ity to throttle the will of the majori ty. ) The text of the manifesto Is as fol lows: "The majority of United States senators favored passage of the sen Ate bill authorizing the President of the Vnited States to arm American merchant vessels, a similar bill bar ing already passed the house by a vote of 403 to 13. "Under the rules of the senate al lowing debate, it appears to be im possible to obtain a vote previous to noon,- March 4 1917, when this ses sion of Congress expires. We desire the statement entered on the record to establish the fact that the senate favored the legislation and would pass It if a vote could be obtained. ..The 12 and 13. Thirteen senators declined to sign the declaration, but one senator, Penrose, of Pennsylvania, announc ed that he would have voted for t&e bill had opportunity been offered 11m.

Durham With Interesting Talks byOthers Many People Present Despite " Bad Weather. V y . Friday night was a great night for Belmont, this despite the fact that a heavy ami continuous downpour of rain kept a great many people from being participants In one of the most important events that has ever taken place in the town, namely the formal opening of the handsome new $35, 000 high school building. Througn out the evening's exercises tnere was- a note of pride that was most noticeable, Belmont Is proud of her fine school building and does not oare who knows It. And they have a reason to be proud of It. It is t&e last word in school house construc tion. All that the best modern archi tects have devised for both health and comfortare found in the con struction of the building. The light lng, heating and ventilating systems are of the latest and most approved type. No atone was left unturned tp give the town the very best that money could procure In the way of a high school building. There are larger: ones in the State but none better constructed or better equipped. Several hundred people braved tne elements and came out to show their interest in the school and their pride in the achievement as shown forta in this building, , Jld the weather been only fairly decent the auditori um, which seats nearly 800, would not have held the audience. Prior to the - beginning of t&e evening's exercises the out-of-town visitors were shown over the build ing. They were very strongly im pressed with the fact that no space had been wasted in anyway, with t&e broad halls and stairways providing means for a quick and safe exit in case of fire, with the splendid fur nishings in the auditorium and class rooms and the spacious and con venient rooms provided for t&e domestic science department of whicn Miss Rankin is the head. Following the opening chords and prayer by Rev. JOT. Dendy, pastor of the Presbyterian church, Supt. H. A. Query of the school made a short but most Interesting address in which he reviewed briefly the rapid growtn of the Belmont school system rrom a one-room, one-teacher affair to t&e present system with more than 500 pupils and fifteen or twenty teachers. He voiced not only his pride in the school but the pride as well of t&e pupils, teachers and public. , County Superintendent of Educa tion F. P. Hall, a resident of Bel mont and one of the staunchest friends of the' school throughout its entire existence and to whom Is lue no small part of the credit for the present magnnicpnt structure, acted as master of ceremonies and introduced the speakers. Mr. S. J. Durham was the princi pal speaker of the evening. . He dis cussed In a very logical and impres sive manner the subject of the State's duty in . the education of its chil dren. Mr. Durham, always a pleasing and entertaining speaker, h eld his audience "at attention" throughout his address. Others who were called on by the master of ceremonies and who re sponded with short and to-the-polnt talks were Prof. J. B, Henson, of tne Dallas high school; Supt. J. . Wray, of the - Gastonia public schools; Prof. MJ L. Barnes, of the Mount Holly schools; Mr. S. N. Boyce, of the county board of educa tion; Mr. R. L. -Stowe, of Belmont; Mr. O. F. Mason and Col. C. B. Arm strong, of Gastonia; Mr. Hall then called on three pupils of the school tosay something. They were Mr. Archie Lineberger, Mr. Leslie West and Miss Lyda nankin. Each one appeared perfectly at ease and was loudly encored by the audience. Throughout the evening, follow ing each speech, the school ' gave their "yells" and complimentary "yells" for the speakers. They were led by Mr. Leslie West and the man ner in which they performed this part of the program stamped them as genuine enthuslastis. It was greatly regretted by the superintendent and teachers, as well as by the 'Belmont people generally, that the weather was so inclment as to keep a great many people away. Those attending from Gastonia were Prof. J. 8. Wray, Prof. Sisk, Col. C. B. Armstrong, Messrs. 8. N. Boyce, O. F. Mason, J. M. Holland and J. W. Atkins.' : F. X. B. and B. B. in the G. S.

' - 1 bridges fp ray CATAWBA OX A KASPASE AEAIM High Waters Sunday Carried Away Temprorary Structures at Mount Holly J. & N. Service is Inter rupted Water Rapidly Getting Back to Normal Stage. Yesterday's Charlotte Observer says: As the result of a meteoric rise in the Catawba river Sunday, the bridge at Mt. Holly utilized jointly by t&e Piedmont ft Northern Lines and the Seaboard Air Line, together with the toll bridge, a few hundred yards dis tant, went down before the swollen stream, the toll bridge crumpling un der the strain at 8:30 p. m., and the railway bridge collapsing two hours later. Both were wooden structures which had been built to replace the connecting links between MeckIen burg and Gaston counties, carried a way during the eventful flood of July, 1916. With the appearance of a shift in one of the 20-foot "bents" in t&e railway bridge Sunday afternoon, traffic was suspended, the last P. & N. car to Gastonia passing over t&e bridge at 2:30 o'clock. The river was at this time up seven feet and rising rapidly. At 8 p. m. t&e stream, supplemented by the' offer ings of various tributary branches and creeks that had risen during the past 24 hours under the influence or the constant downpour, had climbed to the 12-foot mark, obscuring from view the flooring of the toll bridge, which is constructed 12 feet above the water. Owing to the fact that but little wreckage was collected un der the supports of the two wooden structures, it was for a time hoped that they would survive the ordeal, but the angry, torrent was not to be denied of its prey. With a resound ing crash of splintered timbers, t&e toll bridge was swept down stream shortly after 8:30 o'clock. At 10:40 the two middle "bents' of the rail way bridge. located in the swiftest portion of the madly rushing current, succumbed to the constantly increas ing force of the river. Both bridges were constructed entirely of wood and were some 400 feet In lengtn. The toll bridge was owned by Jonn Henry McAden, of Charlotte. As a temporary arrangement Sun day, the Seaboard operated its trains over the tracks of the C. ft N.-W. from Lincolnton to Gastonia and from thence on the Southern Railway system Into Charlotte. So far as could be learned up un til a late hour Sunday night, the Ca tawba aside from its encroachments upon the inter-county bridge facili ties, had thus far worked no appre ciable damage and veteran watchers of the stream's vagaries, prophesy that there is little prospect of exces sively high water. As a result of 'strenous work Tahich has been going on night and day since Sunday night, Agent D. J. K. Jackson informs The Gazette that it is confidently expected that trains will be operated across the Catawba river bridge at Mount Holly some time tomorrow. . F. X. B. and B. B. in the G. S.

The following Is taken from the Washington correspondence of The Raleigh News and Observer dated Sunday, the 4th: Woodrow Wilson took the oath of office as President for - the second time at 12:04 o'clock this afternoon. The oath was administered In tne presence of a few Senators and mem bers of the Cabinet at 12:04 p. m., in the chief executive's room at the Capitol. Mrs, Wilson accompanied the President when ha went to be sworn in and to her was presented the Bible used in the ceremony. A befitting hush fell over Wasn lngton today; a day that ushered in the first day of the President's second term. The President quietly renewed his pledge tn execute the duties of President for the next four years, a responsibility the peo ple of this country so gladly, and proudly bestowed upon the one man they know will justify their un bounded confidence in this trying hour that calls for a statesman and leader that every true American will unfalteringly follow, be it either a peaceful, honorable neutrality or a call to arms, if need be. As the armed neutrality bill died in the Senate President Wilson con ferred with Chief Justice White, or the Supreme Court, in the executive office at the Capitol preparatory to taking the oath for his second term of office as President. The Chief Justice and Mr. Wilson were so busy talking' that their attention had to be called to the fact that the long hand of the clock was four minutes past twelve by James D. Maher, chief clerk of the Supreme Court. The President, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, Dr. Carey T. Grayson, Joseph P. Tumulty and a half dozen secret service men arrived at the of fice near the Senate soon after 11 o'clock.. He signed billsand confer red with members of Congress and Cabinet officers until Chief Justice White arrived. Simplicity marked the formal swearing in of the Presi dent. The President kissed the Bible at the 4 6th Psalm, which contains these sentences: "God is our refuge and strength. The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge come and behold him." Mr. Maher, realizing that the President and Chief Justice over looked the passing of time, touched Mr. White on the arm and said: "It is 12 o'clock. The time for the oatn is at hand." The President and Chief Justice Immediately arose and stood on either side of the clerk of the court, who held a Bible in his hand. Placing his hand on the Bi ble, his thumb resting on the verse: "The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved," Mr. Wilson took the oath. With the right hand uplifted the Chief Justice said the oath and the President repeated: "I, Woodrow Wilson do solemntv swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States." The President and Chief Justice smiled at each other when the cere monies were over. Mrs. Wilson, clad In a long black coat, black gown and black toque was wreathed in smiles as her husband received the hearty, congratulations of those about htm. The Bible used in swearlnlg in t&e President was presented to Mrs. Wil son. On the fly leaf was written the oath and signature of the President. Immediately after the ceremonies were over the President drew on his overcoat and picked up his silk hat and, accompanied by his party, left the capitol for the White House. FX. B. and B.

"Guns bristle all around the harbor, every bridge and -public .establishment is heavily guarded and It looks as if Uncle Sam and the city authorities have things thoroughly in band. I found a strong belief among business men that war is Inevitable. As far as. busi ness is concerned, however, they do . not dread the results, as the general belief is that war would only serve to stimulate business in msny if not in all lines. Not a few Germans, fearing that a declaration or war would result in their places being mobbed as they, were in London and other English towns just after war was declared over there, are selling out to Americans and are getting in to lines of business where their es tablishments cannot be easily gotten, at." . . .v FX.
