BRITISH AND IRISH
TO ATTEND MEETING
Called by King of England to
Consider Trouble
OVER HOME RULE BILL
John Redmond Declares That His In
vitation Came in the! Form of a
Command From the King
He Will Obey. 1
London, July 20. Premier Asquith,
at the opening of the House of Com
mons today, announced that King
George, "in view; of the grave political
situation, has considered it right to
summon a conference of the represen
tatives of the politcal J parties, both
British and Irish, to discuss the out
standing points of the problem of Irish
government."
The Premier added that the Rt. Hon.
James Lowther, speakerj of the House
of Commons, would, at His Majesty's
request, preside over the conferences.
In view of this development, Pre
mier Asquith said he would not ask
the House to discuss today the bill to
amend the Irish home rule bill.
Invitations to the conference have
been accepted by two representatives,
each of the regular opposition, the
Ulster Unionists, the Irish Nationalists
and the government. : i ;
Premier Asquith said (he hoped the
meetings of the conference would .
gin tomorrow. I
John Redmond, leader of the Irish
Nationalists, scarcely appeared to re
gard " the proposed conference as at
tractive. He said: t I j i
"My colleagues and myself take no
responsibility for the policy of calling
this convention and I do not think I
am canea upon 10 eiyrtfss au uiumuu
as to whether the result will prove
useful or the contrary. The Invitation
came to John Dillon and( myself in Ihe
form of a command from, the King and
as such we t once obeyed it." j
Lawrenfce Ginnell, a Nationalist
member, injected a warring note into
the otherwise peaceful session today
by asking if there was any precedent
for the Premier undertaking to "place
himself at the bead pf j a conspiracy
to defeat the wishes of the public."
The question was ignored.
Heated criticism of the proposed
'conference at Buckingham Palace be
tween King George and the leaders of
the Liberal, Unionist, Nationalist and
Ulsterite parties on the Irish home
rule bill was heard in Unionist clubs
today. Unionist leaders expressed the
view that their party again had been
out-maneuvered by. Premier Asquith.
Fhg iniative for the conference was
taken fey Premier Asquith and not by
jKing George, according to the Union
ises, . ' - ; !
Sir Edward Carson, leader of the
Ulsterites, took the calling of the con
ference calmly.' He told his colleagues
Jt couid make no difference in his at
titude. He 'd that under no circum
stances would he apcept less than the
exclusion of Ulster frwn the provis
ions of the bill. Sir Edward added that
he. could do nothing else, as he had
jglven his promise to the eovnanters
and intended to stand by it.
. The labor party strongly disap
prove King Gorge's Intervention in
0, political controversy And has asked
Premier Asquith to tell the King what
they think of his action, j The laborites
held a private meeting tonight at which
they passed a resolution stating they
considered the King's action "undue
interference on the part of the Crown
And calculated to defeat the purposes

Long Time Successful Merchant of Goldsboro fletires
From
A Brief Review of This Typical Ger-
man.American Citizen and Patri
. .otic North Carolinian Who
Nombers Ills Friends
By Legion."
More than forty years ago there
came to Goldsboro a young German-
American, having been in this country
but a few years, since leaving his home
in Lebau; Germany, to come to the
land of the free and of opportunity, to
establish his home and to make a
fortune.
This young German -American and
this North Carolinian is our venerable
and well known townsman, Mr. Asher
Edwards, who has recently retired
from active business and is succeeded
by his younger son Mr. Nathan A. Ed
wards, while his older son, Mr. Leon-
ard Edwards, took over the live stock
business some years ago.
Before coming to .Goldsboro, for sev
eral years, Mr. Edwards had been
travelling over a number of States,
but when he landed in Goldsboro, his
quick business eye and clear judgment
immediately caused him to realize
that he had indeed found the "prom
ised land", and he at once determined
that his wanderings had come to an
end, and that Goldsboro would be his
home, and her people his people.
Full of energy, great bodily strength,
and with the best business judgment,
Mr, Edwards threw his life into his
work and within a few years was one
of the biggest merchants in Eastern
North Carolina.
But shortly after his business as a
merchant began to prosper, with his
keen insight into business, he realized
that it was only a question of time
when the then cheap lands and the
then cheap town property would be
come high priced farm lands and
high priced town property, because he
looked into the future with a long
vision, and he pictured the hard times
on the farm transformed Into the
prosperous times of today and Golds-

boro transformed from a village Into
a city with water works and street
cars and great high buildings and
paved streets and other things charac
terizing a thriving clty.x
It was a long sight he took, and oth
ers thought that he was very unwise,
but time has proven that while he did
take a long vision it was straight and
true, because the pictures which Mr.
Edwards drew in his mind are reali
tiesthings to be seen on every hand
by us all day by day.
The result of this vision was that
his large holdings in land and city
property have so increased in value
that these holdings alone have made
him a wealthy man and in the even
ing of his life he can not only sit
under his own vine and fig tree, but
he can sit in a vineyard of many vines
and in a big orchard of many fig trees
and look back upon a long and suc
cessful life largely spgnt aniqng our
people, the home of his young man
hood, his middle age and his old age,
Goldsboro, where he was married,
Goldsboro, the birthplace of all his
children, Goldsboro, the Best Town in
the State and which no one loves bet
ter than does Asher Edwards. .
Not only in real estate but in other
investments Mr. Edwards has been
eminently wise and successf uL
But better than all the money he
has made, better than all the land and
city property that he owns, he and
his splendid wife, that good woman
who has walked hand in hand" with
him so 'ovingly and so faithfully all
these years,j have given to the -world
two sons and four daughters, who
have taken high place in the business
and social world.
We know that thousands over the
surrounding counties in Eastern North
Carolina will join the Argus in wish
ing our old friend and distinguished
merchant many, many years yet to
come to enjoy in the bosom of his
family the rich reward which he so
eminently deserves. .

PLAGUE SITUATION SERIOUS
EIGHTH CASE DISCOVERED IN
NEW ORLEANS YES
TERDAY. New Orleans, July 20. The eighth
case of bubonic plague was discovered
here today. Charles H. Leaman. who
resides at 2845 Barrone street, : and is
employed at 629 Canal tetreiet, the
principal business street of the city.
was taken ill Thursday and his case
today was diagnosed as plague. Lea-
man's residence is 33 blocks from the
point of the first infection and the re
tail store at which he was employed
is nine blocks from the point where
the first case was discovered on June
27th.
Leaman was attacked by what is
termed the bubonio type. This type
cannot be transmitted to a human ex
cept through the agency of an Insect,
the flea being the principal purveyor
of the disease. Fumigation of a place
where a case is found positievely pre
vents contagion from that point, ac
cording to physicians in charge of the
work.
NOTICE TO MILK DEALERS.
The attention of those who sell milk
or furnish milk for sale in the city is
invited to the new regulations which
require that they secure a permit be
fore engaging in this business. Appli
cation for this permit should be made
to the Sanitary Inspector and if after
inspection proper sanitary conditions
are found the permit will be granted.
There is no charge for this, permit at
present. Thi3 applies to persons sell
ing milk from cows kept within the
city limits as well as those in the out
lying districts.
Observation of several back yards
yesterday disclosed varying quantities
of watermelon rind. Decaying veget
able matter of any kind is a menace
to health and by placing this refuse in
a proper receptacle in front of the
building for the city carts will greatly
help towards "Cleaning up and Keep
ing Clean."

COMMITTEE AGREES '
Oil ANTI-TRUST BILL
Will Report Clayton Measure
to Senate Wednesday
ACTION LAST
NIGHT
After Months of Deliberation Judicia
ry Committee Agrees on Final
Revision of Administra
tion Measures.
Washington, July 20. After months
of deliberation, the Senate judiciary
committee tonight agreed upon final
revision of the Clayton anti-trust bill.
It will report the measure to the Sen
ate Wednesday.
Most important of the amendments
is to provide for a court review of or
ders issued by the Inter-State Com
merce Commission or the proposed
Inter-State Trade Commission against
corporations found to have violated
the trust stateutes.
The section of the original bill re
lating to price discrimination is
amended 60 that discrimination In
price made in good faith to meet com
petition and not intended to create
monopoly could not be penalized. The
section of the House bill which would
make it unlawful to refuse to sell pro
ducts of mines, oil or gas wells, or
hydro-electric plants to bona fide ap
plicants is stricken from the bill. The
provision making it unlawful to lease
or make contracts for sale of goods on
condition that purchasers shall not
use or deal in the products of a com
petitor is retained, with an amendment
providing that the section shall apply
to all products whether patented or
unpatented."
r
The exemption section which in the
House bill include fraternal, labor,
consumers, agricultural and horticul
tural help and having no capital stock
and not conducted for profit, is amend
ed to eliminate fraternal and consum
ers organizations from the list. The
provision prohibiting holding compa
nies is retained with slight amend
ments in phraseology.
The section of the House bill relat
ing to interlocking directorates has
been almost entirely re-written by the
committee. It would provide that af
ter two years from the aproval of the
act no common carrier engaged in inter-State
commerce having on its
board any officer who is an officer or
has any direct Interest in another cor
poration dealing in supplies or securi
ties shall make "purchases of supplies
or have any dealings in securities"
with such corporations to the amount
of more than $50,000 in any one year,
except by competitive bidding under
regulations to be prescribed by the
Inter-State Commerce Commission.
Violation of this provision would be
punishable by fine not to exceed $25,
000 and imprisonment not to exceed
two years. The committee retains the
section of the House bill providing
that no person shall at the same time
be a director in any two or more cor
porations, any one of which has capi
tal and surplus and undivided profits
aggregating more than $1,000,000, of
elimination of competition between
such corporations by agreement would
constitute a violation of the anti-trust
laws.
Sections of the original bill relating
to punishment for contempt are left
intact in principle, except that the
clause which would have legalized
picketing on the premises of individu
als or corporations in cases of strikes
or lockout, is eliminated.
