The President's letter to Sonator Hitchcock was put in final form this morning. In it the President was said to hata made his position equally as clear an he did in his conference with Sena tor Glass, of Virginia, two weeks ago. Administration officials said the pres ident would not accept the Lodge reser vation to article ten. They disclosed that he had discussed the so-called Taft reservation to article ten with Senator Olasa and that while lie had not stated his approval of it, he did not say he -would not accept it. WASHINGTON, March 8 In an ef fort to bring the peace treaty to anoth r ratification vote within the next few 4 ays, Senate leaders were taking steps to day for some agreement that would hold down debate and center the fight as soon aa possible on the decisive question of article ten.

Bulwinkle Saturday that h would be a candidate in the Democratic primary for the Congressional nomination to succeed Hon. Clyde B. Hoey, t zings political are perking up, in Gaston coun ty. And hard on the heels of the' ex soldier's announcement comes the news -hat Judge Council, of Hickory, has H1 his hat into the ring, as given in ho following spocial to Sundays 00 Horver : "Former Judge W. Ii. Council today muounced his intention of entering the irimary for the democratic nomination for congress to succeed Representative Joey, who will retire. The judge enters at the solicitation of "1 inula here and throughout the district, jjally it it felt that Catawba county i.ts an opportunity to obtain the honor nil Judge Councill is the choice of deru-L-rats for the position. He will make formal announcement in a few days." Political doesters in Gaston county ave figured it out that there are to be ther candidates from Gaston county, but that for one reason or other thev have i t seen fit to announce their candidacy. Solicitor George W. Wilson is one whose tiaino has been frequently mentioned here if late in connection with the congres sional nomination. The solicitor n"as many friends throughout the district who inve been urging him that he enter the lists forthwith and straightway. It is known here that he has had the matter under consideration for the past week or en days, but as yet has made no formal statement. en seen by a Gazette reporter this morning in his law office in the Realty building, Mr. Wilson replied in answer to the query of the newspaper man as to his intentions: "Well, its a long time, 90 days in 'net, until the primary comes off in June. Tliere is plenty of timo yet for a whole 1-it of candidates to come out." "You are thinking of entering the are, are you notf " ' ' Yes, I am considering the matter, hut as yet I have not fully decided, "here's no need to be in such a hurry bout this thing. A fellow can enter as N.' 11s May 22, you know." ' ' And you can say that if I do decide enter, I amgoing in on my own reel .ml use my own legs to do my running .i h," the solicitor added in that In imitable drawl of his which has non plussed many a lawbreaker in this nis riet. All of which is taken to mean mat Mr. Wilson is seriously considering the hurling of his headgear into the ring .long with' Judge Council, Lee" Bur: winkle and others. The name of Mr. J no. O, Carpenter has also been men ioned in connection with the race, hut o far no formal statement has ! eorae from him as to the matter. ',. IV if safe to say, however, that -Gaston county peo ple think the nomination,; belongs to Oas ton county this time aiaoe- the Msckiea Surg Democrats have passed H up. In onnection with the Congressional race, S following items clipped from neigh boring papers wU) add interest . , The Statesrille Landmark says: "Outsiders got too impression from the noise made, la Mecklenburg last fall, that if that county was not permitted to tame the congressional 'candidate In the ninth the voter sufficient to elect a' Dem ocrat could no longer be guaranteed . In Mecklenburg. That talk evidently had something to do with depressing Congress : nn Hoey to the extent that he decided that- it was- wise to stand aside , Now that the way is open to Mecklenburg, we xre told that the eounty will ' probably not have a congressional candidate, come times we ery for things and then when ey are offered we find we dont want them." The Cleveland Star saysr "The Charlotte Observer most nave 'iad a vision. Editor Harris hna evideat-- seen the light or has been stirred In the night with some uncanny visitor or iaybe ho has been reading the hand writing on the wall. The Observer an nounces that it is extremely unlikely that my Mecklenburg cititen win seek the office of congressman from the ninth dls rict. More than this The Observer re marks, concerning the "agitatior," that ve "sentiment which seems to have developed in the eounty (Mecklenburg) ' for an abandonment of the agitanon -inst what has become knwn aa tne 'Cleveland ofBceholdi&g trust. That was the issue upon which Mecklenburg enter ed the snerial election and it was NOT VP PROVED BY THE PEOPLE OF "HE DISTRICT. . Mecklenburg lost the Ight and is not disposed to mnew it."

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va., March 8 Firemen, Aided by civilians and sol diers from Fortress Monroe early today began searching the ruins of the Cham berlin hotel for possible victims of the fire which early last night completely de stroyed the big structure. Effort also was being made to check up the 200 or more guests as well as the list of 170 employes, but this task waa slow because the hotel register and other records were destroyed in the flames. There were rumors that two or three persons had per ished in the fire, but these were discount ed by the hotel management. The Chamberlin, probably one of the !t known tourist hotels on the Atlantic coast, was located on the government reservation. It was seven stories in Height and of frame construction. The flames broke out on the ground floor and soon were beyond control. Fire appara tus from Fortress Monroe and nearby cities could do little more than prevent the spread of the fire to the government dock and surrounding buildings. The loss, including the effects of guests, was estimated at more than $3,000,000. WORLD-WIDE SEARCH FOR TURKISH HEIRESS Ben Mahomet Brings ter New York Tale of "Thousand and Second Night" Proclaims Himself a Shiek of Arabia. NEW YORK, March 8 The tale of the "Thousand and Becond Night" has been brought to New York by Ben Ma homet, who proclaimed himself a Sheik of Arabia and a brother of the Amir of Hedjaz. Ben Mahomet arrived here with six re tainers. His mission, he said, was . world-wide search for Sari, Turkish heir ess, who, the hlieik declared, was plighted to marry Amir. Bari, according to Ben Mahomet, last seen iii Constantinople talking to sailor from an American warship had put into that port. How the ish maid was able to escape the vig: of .her nurse loug enough to hold conversation, waa. not explained b Arabian chief tain, but after this m it seems, Bar! disappeared. tier father, Hada Hismo, grieved lt terly for the loos of his daughter, who" was . known the length and breadth of Turkey for her beauty and charity, and sooa he died, leaving her $100,0004)00. Hada Hismo was in Turkey, according to Bob Mahomet, "like SoekofeQer is in America." . When it was considered certain that Sari had left her native land, either vol untarily or with aa abductor, the Amir is said to have asked his brother, who studied at Cambridge University in Eng land, to search the world for her and to spare no expense. FronOTurkey, the Sheik went to Franee, theneo to Italy, and Tangiers, and finally set sail for the new world, arriving in New York via Halifax . ., Ben Mahomet announced that if detectives here had failed- him, he would appeal to the government ia Wash ington and seek to learn what ship it was that touched at Constantinople soon af ter the armistice, when Sari disappeared. For homes of small size a combined kitchen sink and bath tub has been In vented, the former being mounted on top of a cabinet that is moved awsy when the latter is used, the same faucets and outlet pipe serving both. phecie made by The Observer In other lays it is better to wait and see. ' ' While The Observer gives this: "The Observer's statement a few days igo that Mecklenburg County would 'ft candidate in the field in succession to Congressman Hoey,vis being accepted, aa ve had intended it should be, as a state ment of fact. Candidates from', otner counties are now being "announced," and some good men are under suggestion. Mec klenb.org will occupy the position of an interested spectator, with the one speci fication that the district get togetner oa its best man, and Mecklenburg will come fr-rward with .its jusual block of votes.
