 There is considerable complaint made against the opening of the Quinnipiac small craft which come up the river nearly every few hours, and blow a blast on their horns to get through The fact that the draw is not operated by steam or electrical power causes great delay to people who ride on the electric cars, and 3 petition is being circulated to have the matter remedied It is proposed to have the hours for opening the drawbridge regulated so that the public will not. be inconve- nienced by every small boat which may want to get through the bridge at all hours of the day. Many people from Morris Cove have missed their trains through the draw being opened and de- laying the traffic of the electric road, and several times the cars have been seen punched together Oh the bridge, the drawbridge happening to be open to let 8 sloDp through.

THE sUNDRy CIVIL BILL.
Only One Amendment successful--Mr. Set
ties Motion and speech

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March T.-The
House, at 1920 o'clock, on motion of Mr..
Sayers Dem, Tex, went into committee
of the whole 20 consider the sundry civil
appropriation bill, Mr.. Lester CDem., Ga.)
in the chair. BY unanimous consent It
was decided TO take up the amendments
TO the bill proposed by the Committee on
the judiciary, consideration of the Mis-
souri river commission and Soldiers
Home appropriations being postponed un-
I'll Monday. The first amendment which
was agreed TO was as follows:
No fee shall be paid to any marshal
for the execution of any warrant from
a United States commissioner unless the
same shall have been executed within -
days after the warrant was issued.
No other amendment was successful
Several were defeated, ruled out on
points of order, or dropped.
Mr.. Settle Rep.. y. CO moved to strike
out the paragraph appropriating $4,000
for detecting and bringing to punishment
violators of the internal revenue laws.
He said that now. at a time when
policy Of retrenchment is enforced on
every line. the committee has doubled
the appropriation for this item, which
has for years been made in the sundry
civil bill
His primary objection 70 the increase
and 10 the whole item Mr.. Settle said,
was that Il was wholly unnecessary.
There were 9l9 commissioned internal
revenue officers In North Carolina, be-
sides deputy marshaIs and those who are
known as Porn l0'' and Award men,
who w.e paid out of the appropriation
under discussion The money arising out
of the appropriation, Mr.. Settle said,
was largely used as a corruption fund,
aud led 10 the reporting Of purely tech
meal violations Of tho law 20 the great
embarrassment and often loss Of innocent
persons No argument had been adduced,
he said, TO show that an increase ct
officers was necessary. He had read from
the clerks desk an extract from the
platform adopted at a recent Democratic
State convention. asking for the abolition
OF the internal revenue system, as
war tax and Il grievous burden upon the
people. This extract, he said. showed
how the Democracy Of North Carolina
regarded the internal revenue law. Those
who were familiar with political condi-
tions there knew that the Democratic
marty was committed 10 the abolition OK
these taxes. yet. with the party In con-
troll Of the Government. they not only
continued them. but now they proposed In
creasng the corruption fund by an ad-
ditional appropriation Of $4,000
