DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Mr.. Walser Thinks it Would Save
Money to the State.
AND WOULD ADD DIGNITY TO THE OFFICE
He Recommends that All The States Law Busi'
ness Go Through the Office
Of the Attorney
General.

Every State in the Union, except North
Carolina has Departent of Justice, OF
which the Attorney General is the head.
He is the legal adviser and counsel for
all departments of the State government
and such cases as they may have in the
courts are conducted through his office.
In North Carolina, however, the Attor-
ney General simply argues State criminal
appeals in the Supreme Court, and though
he is legal adviser for the State officials
he is seldom their counsel in such cases
as may come before the courts, each de-
partment having sum of money special
yers.
AS result of this policy some $4,000
or $4,000 a year are expended by the
State government in extra lawyers fees
AS Attorney General Walser goes out
of office this year and cannot profit by
his own recommendations, he will, in his
report, ask the Legislature to change
this system, setting forth that the change
will both increase the efficiency of the
public service and save money to the
State.
He will recommend the establishment
of a Department of Justice through which
all the States law business must be con-
Quoted, as is done in other States. At
the head Of this department will be the
Attorney General with an assistant and
such increase of clerical force as may be
necessary. The increased cost of this
above what is at present paid to the
Attorney Generals office would, he ar
CUES, be small compared to the large ex-
ira attorneys fees now expended.
"Of course" said Mr.. Walser, discuss
ing the matter with a News and Obser
YER reporter, there would be cases in
which the Attorney General would desire
outside assistance, and in which assist
ance would be necessary. In such cases
he should have power to employ additional
counsel. Again, some State official might
desire in an important case to employ
special counsel, he ought to be allowed
to do so by and through the advice of
the Attorney General. Such an arrange
ment would add to the dignity Of the
office, make the Attorney Generals ser
vices more efficient and save money to
the State. North Carolina has outgrown
the present method of transacting its
law business. and the next Legislature
should make a change in it,"
Also, it is understood, the Legislature
will be asked to revise the fees paid to
the clerk of the Supreme court. 1t is
said that from year to year the work of
the office has grown, while the fees have
decreased rather than increased until
there is hardly living in the office for
the clerk after his stenographer is paid.

He remembered Cadet Boose and was
one of those who corrected him for

The witness said that the present

planned how matches We're made and

Cadet Frank Z. Lahm of Ohio said
that 'hazing" or ''bracing'' gave the

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All The Lead
ing Stocks.

New York, Dec. 2..-Thc stock market
digeSted an enormous amount OF proht
taking sales. today. These heavy offer
ingS were not without effect on prices
and. in fact there was a period of very
general reaction. But like yesterday, the
market again demonstrated its marvellous
.'ecuperatiVc power and the speculative
enthusiasm was shifted into new quar-
ters, where the buying was resumed with
undated confidence. The movement of
prices was not wide at any time and the
large volume of business was accom-
piiShed without much disturbance to
values. In certain stocks, however, the
price range was very wide, though the
net change is quite unimportant. The
Distinguishing feature of the days trad
ing was the development of aggressive
strength in n large group Of low priced
stocks. both in the railroad and miscel-
laneOus department. This diversion Of
speculative activity from high priced div
dend paying stocks to low priced stocks
is quite a usual accompaniment OF long
sustained bull movement. There was an
opening rush to buy Peoples Gas which
made the price 10 or VA above last night
Sugar was very fcVeriSh over wide
range. rallying very strongly after an
early decline ana closing with a net gain
of ia. tneaSincSS over the money mar
funds offering on call, which carried the
rate down To IL, in the late dealings. This
was an influential factor in rallyinG the
market and the bears who sold freely lii
