TILE OLYMPICs, VISIT.

Local baseball players have replied
to the offer Of the Olympic nine by ask
ing the Californians what terms they
are ready to offer for a return game
next year when the Honolulu team
would visit San Francisco in their
turn. If the answer holds out as good
terms as those now talked of for the
Olympics visit here, arrangements will
doubtless be made. Local players are
worrying meanwhile over the lack Of
fenced in ground in which to hold
the games and are trusting that if the
Olympics come 1t will not be until after
the Boys Brigade playground is put
into shape for a game and surrounded

room of the capitol building, with chair
man MaCfarlane presiding and commits
sioners Testa, Pratt and LOvelSin pres

the work of the future,
There is much work ahead of the
court yet, over a month being required
to finish up the cases to be heard These
are some of the largest ones on the en-
tire list, and will be lengthy hearings
Among the matters discussed this
morning were the claims of insurance
companies, who paid the damages on
their policies for property destroyed i'm
the big Chinatown fire. Most of the
companies refused to make payments,
but a number of policies were paid and
now the insurance companies want
their money back, making their claim
on the same grounds as the other claim
ants, that the loss was caused by the
government.
The court meets again this afternoon
and will probably be in session every
day now until its work is ended. The
$500 odd decisions already made are
help up, and may not be given out un-
til the end, when the court will promul-
gate all it's findings at once. There
will be warm times in Chinatown when
the decisions are made known, it is pre-
dicted, for there have been some heavy
cuts in the claims presented.
The question of when to give out the
decisions is one of the matters being
discussed in executive session. one Of
the commissioners stated that the de-
Cisions already made might be given
out In few days.

Objections to Public officials Being on
Party Committees-Home Rulers and
Republicans Meet Tonight

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Republican Territorial Cen
tral Committee has been called for this
evening, to discuss the political situa-
ton, with special reference to the
Fourth district. Tonight is also the
night for the regular meeting of the
Home Rule Central Committee, and it
is not unlikely that both sides will take
some decisive action. There is little
time left for the making and filing of
nominations. Nominations must be
filed with Secretary Cooper at least ten
days before the date of the election.
In the meantime there may be some
important changes in the committees.
The Governor is said to have recent
ly taken a stand against any Of the
officials of the government taking an
active part in politics, and this may
mean some designations from various
committees. There are several men in
the government service on the Repub-
lican central committee, and according
to the governors view, they should
avoid activity in politics.
The rule of the governors is a new
one and it is in line with the recent
strict orders issued at Washington by
President Roosevelt. Dole has intimat-
ed to some of those who are both office
holders and members of political COM
mittees that they should let poll
tics alone.

Boyd, who was chairman of the Fourth

ment of public works and Andrew

Judge MacRae Gives Sound Advice to Members
of the Law Class

Especial to the News and Observer
Chapel Hill, n C., Dec. 19.-In con-
Versation With Judge MacRae, dean OF
the University Law School, yesterday
afternoon the question as to where the
young men, now studying law in the
University should locate was brought
up, and the judge, with all possible en-
phasis, declared:
Every member of the class who is
licensed should locate in North Caro-
lima. In my opinion North Carolina is
one of the best States in this Union in
which 10 practice law, and l utterly fail
to see why so many of our gifted and
brilliant young men form the idea that
If success is to be attained It can only
be had in States other than our own dear
North Carolina.
Why" continued the judge, ''if a man
is to succeed-if he is thoroughly i'm
bued with a spirit to succCC,,-he will
succeed as quickly in North Carolina as
in any other State in this country. 1t is
the man, not the place, that makes pos
sibilitics, throws open the avenues to
success ana causes reward to crown his
efforts Stay at home is my advice to
lawyers"
