PRITCHARD MAY Be
OPPOSED BY AYCOCK
FRIENDS OF NORTH cARoLINA's
GOVERNOR TALKING OF RUN

CHARLOTTE. y. G.. Jan. 20.-The latest
report in political circles in regard to the
coming fight for the United States sena-
torship. which position will In all prOha-
bility be filled by a Democratic leglsla-
ture and one which is interesting to say
the least is contained in a story which
comes from Eastern North Carolina to
the effect that an effort will be made TO
put Gov. c. B. Aycock I'm the seat now
occupied by Senator Pritchard. Republic
can
The most serious obstacle which the
friends OF the governor would have TO
overcome in this movement is the unwrit-
ten law mat one senator shall come from
the eastern part OF the state. and another
from the west. AS Senator Simmons,
elected as a Democrat last year. is from
the east and the governor is a native of
the same section. there will be much work
ahead Of those who would have state Sec
tionalism overlooked. There is said TO
be no doubt that the movement has been
planned by his friends. but Il is not as
serted that the governor himself knows
anything OF the plan. PROBABLY he does
not at this stage.

HEAD, ARMS AND LEGS
BURNED OFF PRISONER

night about 1920 the town calabOOse was
found to be on fire and to far consumed
to be saved. A man by the name of Alfred
Ballew had been locked up yesterday for
disorderly conduct and it is supposed that
he i'm some way set it on fire, although
the marshal states that he examined him
closely and found no matches on his per-
son..
Ballew's head, arms and legs were burn
ed off and his body presented a most hor-
rible spectacle.
1t was only by the most heroic efforts
that the Lutheran church was kept from
burning.

Plan to View the Courts Return
to the Capital.
Pekin. Jan. 2.-Several recent occur
rences tend to discourage the hope that
the Dowager Empress had learned a
lesson of reform from the events of the
past year. Foreigners are disposed to
take pessimistic view of the out
look. Gen. Yung LUIS determination to
organize two anti-foreign army corps,
to offset the commands of the pro-for-
eign Chinese leaders is particularly
disquieting and is evidence of the con-
tinued domination of his influence
which is bitterly anti-foreign.
Other incidents which are considered
significant are the suppression of the
only independent newspapers in this
city by order of the governor of Pekin
and the closing of the industrial school
here, recently organized by philan-
thropic Chinese, also by the Governor S
order.
This school was intended for the
training of destitute youths. Other lib
eral Chinese will hesitate now to give

ing the displeasure of officialdom.
A third edict, regarding the recent
murder of a Belgian priest, near Ming
Sha Foo, in Kan 500 province, has ap-
peared. 1t appoints a special officer
to punish those who are guilty of the
crime, and reaffirms the Dowager En-
press good will towards Christians.
This is unusual activity upon the part
of the court in the punishment of those
guilty of an anti-Christian outrage and
is taken as evidence of the Dowager
Empress desire to conciliate the Pow
ers upon the eve of the return of the
court to the capital.
Proofs accumulate that Prince
-Ching's argument persuaded the Dow
ager Empress to trust herself within
range of the legation forts. Officials
arriving here describe the Dowager
Empress and Gen. Yung Lu as being
extremely nervous and suspicious lest
the foreigners are planning to entrap
them after their arrival and punish
them for encouraging Boxerism.
The foreigners will probably view
the courts re-entry into Pekin from
the wall near the legations.
The Chinese officials have been
sounded by the ministers as to whether
they will enforce the old custom or
restraining foreigners from witnessing
imperial professions. The replies are
not encouraging. The treaty gives the
legations a strip of wall commanding
a view of the gates of the Imperial
City and the members of the foreign
community are planning to assemble
thereon. 1t will be a great innova-
tion.

LIBERIA WANTS A WARSHlP.
A Request Made That Act of Con
gress of 1866 BE Carried Out.

Washington, Jan. 2.-W. B. Match
ett of this city, representing the gov
ernment of Liberia, called on Secretary
Long at the Navy Department to-day
and made formal request that the
action of Congress, as embodied nrthe
act of April II. 1866, providing for the
relief of Liberia, be carried into effect.
That act. which was introduced in
Congress by Senator Sumner and Rep
resentative Banks of Massachusetts,,
provides that there shall be transferred
to the government of Liberia one of
the government gunboats of the United
States navy acceptable to the govern
ment of Liberia, and which, in the
opinion of the Secretary of the Navy,
could be spared conveniently for that
purpose.
Nothing was done in connection
with this legislation until President
Cleveland came into power, when Sec
retary Herbert of the Navy Depart
ment set aside the old wooden war
ship Swatara for the use of the Lii
berian government. For various causes,
however, the order for the transfer
of the vessel was never carried into
effect.
The proposition now made by Mr..
Matchett is that the Navy Department
set asides another vessel on the same
conditions. Secretary Long requested
Mr.. Hatchett to put his request in
writing, in which event the matter
would receive due considerat ton.

simply wanted to thank him for getting
the money to his wife.

A SYNDICATE IN TROUBLE.
Committee of Bankers Now in
Charge of CIeveInnd's Big Tele-
phone and hallway Combine.

Cleveland, 0. Jan. 2.-The financial
affair of the Everett-Moore syndicate
owning or controlling a number of ur-
ban and inter urban electric railways.
and an extensive system of local and
long distance telephone lines in Ohio
and Michigan. passed into the control
of a committee composed of several
prominent bankers of this city to-day.
This action was taken, it is stated, as
the result of temporary financial en-
barrassment on the part of the syndi-
cate, which has for some time past
been affected by the stringency in the
money market.
The committee chosen have been at
work investigating the affairs of the
syndicate and express the firm belief
that the concern is entirely solvent,
and that its embarrassment Will be
only temporary.
The Everett Moore syndicate is ac-
credited with controlling more than l.
200 miles of urban and inter-urban
electric lines in Ohio and Michigan,
with many new extensions still in
course of construction.
Among the telephone properties
owned outright or controlled by the
syndicate are the Cuyahoga Telephone
Company (lOnS dlSIance)s Jne feueIdi
Telephone Company. the Stark county
(Ohio) Telephone Company. The Co
lumbiana county (Ohio) Telephone
Company, the Peoples Telephone Com
pany Detroit; the Wood county (Ohio)
Telephone Company, and number of
others in which the Federal Telephone
Company is the controlling factor.
Among the more important electric
street railroad properties in which the
syndicate is largely interested, are the
Cleveland Electric Railway Company,
Detroit United Railway Company. the
Toledo Railway and Light Company
the Northern Ohio Traction Company
the Cleveland. Painesville and Eastern
Railway Company Detroit and Toledo
Shore Line Railroad Company and
the Lake Shore Electric Company. All
of these lines are said by the COM
mittee to be. with scarcely an excep-
ton, in good physical condition, per-
fectly solvent and in no wise embar-
rassed.
The aggregate capitalization of all
the various properties owned or con-
tIolled by the syndicate, is said to be
about S130.0000 900.
Expert accountants have been en-
ployed by the committee in charge to
examine and report upon the condition
of all the constituent companies. No
statement has, as vet, been given out
indicating the liabilities of the syndi-

THE FIGHT TO DOWN HANNA.
Boss Cox of Cincinnati Arrives and
Takes Charge of the Foraker
Forces

Columbus. O., Jan. 1.-The contest
between Republican factions over the
organization of the Legislature is still
in doubt so far as the House is con-
cerned. The claims of either faction
would indicate that one element is
confident of Price becoming Speaker
and the other of McKinnon winning,
but the reports of both show that there
are yet votes to get" by the one who
is to become Speaker. The list of un-
pledged members has, however, been
reduced to-day to half dozen, Crist,
Pool Mcneil Nihart, Foster and
Lochery. This does not include many
who are said to have pledged them
selves, some in writing, to both sides.
These six are said to have made no
pledges to either side and it is con-
ceded that they hold the balance of
power.
there is talk of a Round Robin"
There are five lists Those pledged
to Price" "those pledged to McKin-
nor" ''those pledged to both, g those
still unpledged," those listed as doubt
full, which list includes those pledged TO
both, as well as those who are un-
pledged"
If the caucus shall nominate by Sc
cret ballot, there will be no way of
verifying these lists even after the eau
cusses are held, and for that reason
viva voce voting in caucus is being ad-
vocated.
There was much done to-day from
the homes of Senator Hanna in Wash
ington, Senator Foraker in Cincinnati,
Congressman Dick in Akron, Congress-
man Tayler in Columbus, and Others,
and especially at Toledo, where Rep
resentative Denman is still considered
by some as doubtful. There was much
communication with all the counties
in which doubtful members reside.
The most prominent arrival was that
of George B. Cox, the Cincinnati lead
err, who insists that he is "as good a
friend of Senator Hanna as ever" but
that he was pledged to Price for
Speaker before the junior Ohio senator
broke with Price, and that he is here
now to do all he can for Price and
this includes the support of candidates
for clerk and other places who can
bring strength to Price.
The leadership of the anti Hanna
side was conceded to Cox on his ar
rival
