Ten thousand Dollars For Life Station at 0cra-
coke. Forty-0ne thousand For Indian
School at Cherokee.

Especial to the News and Observer
Washington, D. c., April 5.-Senator
Simmons today secured the passage by
the Senate of Representative Small S
bill, which had previously passed the
House. appropriating $4,000 to establish
life saving station on Ocracoke Inlet.
In the Indian Appropriation Bill,
passed by the Senate today, is the fol-
lowing North Carolina section: "Appro-
priating for the support of one hundred
and fifty pupils at the training school, at
Cherokee, North Carolina, twenty-f five
thousand and fifty dollars for pay of su-
perintendent of said school, one thou
sand five hundred dollars; for general
repairs and improvements, two thou

tion of a girls dormitory, ten thousand

all, forty thousand dollars. One of the

Representative Kluttz called on Civil
Service Commissioner Foulke this morn
ing with reference to the Pope Lewis
matter. Commissioner Foulke stated as
a result of his inquiries that the affair
was beyond the reach of the commission,
as according to the statements of Sena-
| tor Pritchard and Pope, the latter was
employed by and acted under the direc-
tion of c. G. Bailey, treasurer of the
Republican State Committee.
Neither Bailey nor Pope is a Federal
officer and the law, therefore, does not
raech them The chairman, Senator
| Pritchard, and most of the other mem
bers of the Republican State Committee.
are Federal office-holders. but it is not
| shown that they had anything to do with
Pope's so-called voluntary assessments
of postmasters, so the commission finds
itself powerles in this case.
But no one believes that the treasurer
of the committee would act in a matter
of this Importance without the knowledge
and consent of the chairman. 1t is al
most certain that Pope acted for Chair
man Pritchard when he levied political
assessments against postmasters to
raise funds to pay negroes taxes.
