Morrison.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, August 2.-The special
Cabinet meeting today lasted about
two and half hours. There were
present beside the President, Secre-
tary Hay, Secretary Root, Secretary
Gage and Postmaster General Smith.
The discussion was confined almost
exclusively to the Chinese situation.
No change in the present policy OF
the Government resulted from the
meeting today. The action OF Secre-
tary Hay in notifying the powers that
we had informed Ii Hung Chang That
we insisted upon being placed Ill com
munication with our Minister was
unanimously endorsed. The covert
threats thrown out by Ii and the
other Viceroys as to the disaster that
might overtake the legationers II the
advance of the allies was insisted
upon was characterized by one OF the
members of the Cabinet as 'blutf." "
AS long as the Administration has

assistant. AT the same moment the
Grand Vizier jumped to his feet and
seized the man by the arm and twisted
his wrist, actually raising him from the
ground. The Grand Vizier is a veritable
giant and without apparent effort he held
the aggressor suspended in the air. Then
a policeman following on bike jumped
from his machine, and grasping the man

away
The Shah did not appear to be excited
by the attempt on his life and when the
man had been led away he re-seated him

to the coachman:
''Drive on" and the carriage pro-
ceeded to the Alexandria III bridge, where
boat was taken for Sevres.
The pistol carried by the would-be muir
derer was of the bull dog type, loaded
with five cartridges. When the police
seized the man he tried to break away
and cried: "Vivre; Childreni People!"
An officer tried to stop him but he
shouted: ITO my assistance, IrlenuS.
Then he quieted down and submitted.
When the knife was found on his per-
son an officer remarked: "You also had
a knife" to which the man replied: Eyes;

''Why did you attempt to assassinate
the SHAH" the officer asked.
Because was the reply, cit pleased

Faison, August AT 1925 last night
Dr. John NJ. Faison was awakened by the
cry of fire He found his drug store on
fire. just beginning to burn. 1t was ex-
tinguished by two passing young men.
The town was patrolled by rihemen
all night and today, allowing no one to
approach the store, as DR.. Faison had
wired for boodhounds and has good
tracks. The dogs will come tomorrow
morning. quart bottle and quart can
were found, emptied of kerosene oil,
which had been poured upon the door
steps, and some saw dust and paper were
put about the door.
The fire had, no doubt, burned only
few minutes when first SEEN This store
had been used as a place of registration
and no doubt our Radical friends pro-
posed to destroy the books and tickets
by burning the store and at least one
half of the town, as Faison precinct is
Democratic with a gain of one hundred
votes in the township.
This is the first attempted incendiarism
in this little town and the picture pre-
scented to it's citizens this morning was
indeed horrible when we were brought
face to face with the fact that in our
very midst white men are firebrands and
scoundrels sufficient for such horrors.
The people were never so aroused, es-
pecialy when they knew such work to
be the result of political hatred and
strife.
DR.. Faison has sent for dogs everywhere
and hopes to get some tomorrow to fer
rit out the perpetrators of the crime. The
people are settling down upon the guilty
parties and it is hoped to have them in
the hands of the law soon.
The election here was most quiet, with
a net gain Of 65 votes for the amend
ment over last election, and Duplin coun-
tvs majority will reach seven hundred
and fifty a net gain of about five hum
dred votes for Aycock and the amend
ment.
If such is the conduct of our Radi-
cal friends to get in office what would
be their conduct when in office.
The Populists here are already bowling
for Mckinley, hoping to get around the
national swill tub as they know their
days is at an end here.
