NO CHANGE Of VENUE
Wilcox Will be Fairly Tried
in Pasquotank.
District Attorney Ward Says He will Resist
Any Motion 10 Have Place Of Trial
Changed.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News ana observer
Suffolk, Va, Jan. 22.-District Attor-
ney George w. Ward will resist any mo-
tion for change of venue in the case of
James Wilcox, charged with the murder
of his sweetheart, Miss Cropsey.
In an interview today Mr.. Ward said:
IF any motion is made it will be OPP
posed, because l am thoroughly satisfied
that Wilcox will have as fair trial in
Pasquotank as in any county in this
State. Il is a matter of discretion en-
trely for the presiding judge, who will
fore him. He is a resident of the Six
teenth Judicial district, on the Tennes-
see line, and can now know nothing of
the case / cannot say where ii would
be carried as that also lies entirely with
in his Judgment The case is not talked
of so very much now, and L am unable
to say whether public feeling has chang
ed. I am inclined TO think that it has
never sbeen so strong against Wilcox as
to prevent his having an impartial hear
ing"
The grand jury will convene March 10.
On the rendition of an Indictment VIII
cox will be arraigned Immediately and
the trial day set by the court.
Wilcox still maintains his demeanor OF
indifference and stands by his original
statements

opment. Continuing he said:
Shall the United States through its
agriculturalists produce it's raw sugar
and in its factories scattered from the
Atlantic to the Pacific refine its pro-
ducts, or shall it permit foreign lands to
export 10 it the raw material and content
itself merely with the refining? That is
what | fear would eventually come to
pass if you interfere in any way at the
present time with the existing production
OF home sugar
Mr.. OXnard characterized the Cuban
proposition as most vicious and asked
why it was that the American sugar in
terest had been singled out for sacrifice.
He severely criticised the American su-
gar trust and II. O. Havemeyer. He also
denied that there was any trust in the
beet sugar industry.
Mr.. Richardson referred to a statement
by the witness that the sugar trust in
stigated the Cuban reciprocity move
ment. Reading from President Roose
velt's message recommending Cuban re-
ciprocity, Mr.. Richardson said:
DO you mean to say that was insti-
gated in any such way?"
Mr.. GrosTenor interviewed before the
witness could answer. Il denounce such
proceedings" said he emphatically, land
I make point of order against such
questioning
Your announcement does not amount
to anything" replied Mr.. Richardson.
This witness asserts that the sugar
trust instigates this movement in behalf
of Cuba
1T is a plain effort to get the witness
TO make an attack on the President
declared Mr.. Grosvenor.
That is not true reioined Mr.. Rich
ardson.
Mr. Oxnard finally secured an oppor-
tunity to disclaim any purpose of re-
fiectins on the President, whose recon-
mendation for Cuban reciprocity he be-
lieved was due to rot having the facts in
his possession.
A petition was circulated on the tiool
of the House requesting the Ways and
Means Committee to make no change IN
the tariff laks likely to injuriously al
feet the beet sugar industry. About
forty-fi five Republican members from
Michigan California, Indiana, ONO,
Kansas, and other beet producing States
signed the petition.

Tobacco Interests Protest.

Washington, D. c.. January 22.-The
delegation of the National Cigar Leaf
Association that has been before the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House in opposition of the admission of
Cuban tobacco at a low rate of duty.
called on the President today. The Pres
ident of the association stated to Mr..
Grosyenor that the admission of Cuba
tobacco at the proposed low rate would
CAUSE great loss to the rapidly develop
ing and important tobacco interests of
the country In the course of the con-
versation the President said it was his
desire, as no doubt it was the desire of
Congress, to do the right thing in this
matter and he hoped that great care
would be shown in the consideration of
this important question.

that decision Mr. Richardson, Tennessee,
appealed
The chair was sustained l27 to 10. Mr..
Fleming Georgia, voted with the Repub-
licans to sustain the chair. Mr.. Padgett
Tennessee, then offered as an amend
ment to the amendment the following:
THE Government of the United States
hereby declares its policy and purpose is
to relinquish the sovereignty of the
Philippine Islands, acquired under the
treaty of Paris, and to restore the SOW
ereignty thereof to the people of said
islands so soon as they shall make man
ifest their fitness and capacity for self
government"
Il make three points of order against
that amendments said Mr.. Cannon.
First. that it is not germane; second,
that it changes existing law; third, that
it is idiotic." (Applause and laughter on
the Republican side)
THE chair sustains the first two points
of order" announced the chair. Uaugh-
ter.)
Mr.. Richardson (Tennessee), offered an
amendment providing that the President
should make n detailed report to Con-
gress of the expenditures of the appro-
priation. The vote then required upon
Mr.. Cannon's amendment. AS it was be-
ing taken a dramatic incident occurred
The solid Republican side arose in sup
port of it, and with the Republicans a
solitary Democrat. Mr.. Cummings of
New York, stood up. Turning upon his
fellow Democrats and shaking his fist in
their faces, Mr.. Cummings shouted
When / refuse to vote to protect the
life of an American soldier l hope l may
be paralyzed." A round of Republican
applause greeted this statement, while
several Democrats cried Regular order -
The amendment was adopted, 1877 to 100
Mr. Richardson's amendment was de-
feated
Without completing the bill the House
adjourned
