Files Another Petition for the In
jury to His Horse.

Another petition has been filed with
the City Council by L. NJ. Germany,
who asks $50 in payment for damages
sustained by his horse, which some
months ago fell into a ditch on New

claims, was due to the carelessness of
the city's employees. He declares that
his horse was worth $500 at the time,
but that veterinaries now tell him that
the animal is permanently lame.

Germany for compensation for the

ELOQUENT ADDRESSES TO
ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE
The First Days Session of the Good Roads Con-
gress Great Occasion.
THE HALL WAS PACKED THE ENTIRE DAY

Rocky Mount, the mayor called Mr.. s.
l. Patterson Commissioner of Agricul-
ture. TO the platform to serve as tenn
porary chairman.
Mr.. Patterson in q few words intro
duced Governor Aycock
The Governor extended hearty well
ceme TO the delegates in behalf of the
State OF North Carolina He then briefly
enumerated the various interests af-
fected by the condition of roads, and
spoke of the strength of our State lying
in the devotion and steadfastness of her
people, and Of her weakness lying in her
isolation. This isolation was what had
caused North Carolina to fall behind in
the march of industry.
Speaking of how the road question is
linked with that of public education, the
Governor said I'VE have promised to
educate all the children of North Caro-
lima. In order to do that, we must have
good roads, so that the children can get
to the schools in the country districts"
The Governors address was one of his
most characteristic brief, pithy, timely
utterances.
At this juncture Chairman Patterson
requested Mr.. Joserhus Daniels to act as
secretary of the meeting, and all the
members of the press present to act as
assistant secretaries.
Mr. Patterson then introduced Mr. w
B. Snow, who delivered an address Of
welcome in behalf OF Wake County and
the~City of Raleigh.
Mr.. Snow said that as the represen
tative OF the mayor vested with all the
authority, Of that office, he threw open
TO their widest limits the gates OF the
city, and granted complete immunity from
the consequences Of any ordinary infringe
mcnt cf the city regulations. But II the

the Board of County Commissioners,
would see to it that the offender should
not serve upon the roads or GO to the
workhouse. (Laughterl.
II am proud to say, went on Mr..
Snow, that our Wake county roads do
not need the services of any of you gen.
tlemen present" uaughterl.
Mr. Snow went on to say that this
good roals movement marked the begin
ming of q new era, the upbuilding or our
State from the thraldom of mud and
mire: it was renaissance OF CONNER
cial activity. He spoke OF the two great
factors in this upbuilding, education and
coed roads and closed his remarks with
tae following invitation:
''As the guests Of the city of Raleigh
and the county of Wake, you shall have
every comfort and courtesy. The Board
Of County Commissioners invites you to
visit the roads of the county, and car
Tiages will be furnished 10 as many Of

col. MoOREs SPEECH.
Col w. H. Moore. President of the Ma
tional Good Roads Association, was next
introduced.
He said he. was glad to see SC many
present, and doubly glad to see SO many
delegates from other counties OF the
State To show the interest that was be-
Ing manifested in this movement in North
G. rolina, the SPEAKER said he had tele
gram in his pocket from Senator NJ. c.
Butler, or South Carolina, saying that
he would stop over here on his way to
WASHINGTON, and address the meeting.
Col Moore then paid handsome tri-
butte to Governor Aycock, saying that he
was exceedingly proud to be on a plat
form with an executive who was attract
Ing as much attention In the Northern
States just now as any man now before
the people on account Of his interest in
Good Roads and Education. He spoke
of a conversation he had had the day
before with Governor Montague, of yir-
ginia, in which Governor Montague ex-
pressed desire 10 see Governor Aycock's
proclamation, saying he had noticed that
cur Governor was coupling together the
two propositions CT Education and Coed

same.

as possible in the conduct of its inves-
tigation and witnesses would be heard as
rapidly as was practicable.
Mr.. Patterson said that when the Phil
ippine Commission had the matter of the
hearings under consideration, it was his
recollection that the chairman, (Mr
Lodge, had suggested that no members
of the press at all be admitted to the
hearings.
Il never made such a suggestion
never" interjected Mr.. Lodge. warmly
'and / object to such statements as that
made by the Senator"
Notwithstanding" continued Mr.. Pat
terson, II reiterate my statement
Il ask the Snator," interrupted Mr..
Lodge, IF he reiterates the statement
that suggested the press be excluded"
THAT is my recollection" replied Mr.
Patterson.
''Well,"' protested. Mr.. Lodge, II have
denied that statement that's emphatic
Mr.. Hoar raised the point of order
that committee discussions We're not
proper subjects of comment in the Sen
ate. and the pont was sustained.
AGAINST STAR CHAMBER METH
DDS.
Mr.. Patterson then made an argument
in support of opening the committee
hearings in the Philippines investigation
to all tile members of the press. By such
an arrangement, he said. the country
would receive every phase and color of
the Investigation. He agreed with the
complaining newspapers that the com
mittee was conducting in q sense as a
star chamber hearing.
A communication was received from
the Secretary of War transmitting to the
Senate memorial from leaders of the
Federal party in the Philippines in sup
port of American rule in the islands.
Mr.. Hoar disclaiming any desire to
precipitate a debate this time, re-
marked sarcastically that the memorial
was "a pretty good commentary" ON the
statute of the Philippine Commission,
which prohibited the PRONUNCIATION by
any society of any political opinion or
policy. He said 1T appeared lawful un-
der the acts of the commission to make
public political opinions when three
members of the Philippine Commission
We're members Of the society, provided
the publication be accompanied by an
expression or marvellous admiration"
for the commission itself
"They tell US" he remarked in con-
clusion, that the Filipinos do not want
independence when it is made a peniten-
tiary offense to express any resire for
independence.
Mr.. Patterson thought the Senate
ought to understand the special signifi-
canoe of the document presented by the
Federal party.
1.-THE Federal party has met whatever
success it has achieved, he asserted, un-
der declaration that it stands for the
Statehood of the islands in the American
Union.
He insisted that if the Republican
leaders should say that it was not their
intention to give the Philippines State
hood, the F'flipinos who We're not advo-
eating American control would desert
them as rats leaving a sinking ship
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned.

money was not forthcoming, they got
permission to operate the Good Roads
Train in order TO bring the matter before
the people
Col. Moore then spoke of The amount
Of space that had been given the move
ment in the great metropolitan papers,
and paid high compliment to the press
of our city, saying, Il think that your
papers deserve as much credit as those
in any place we have visited" He dwclt
upon the public spirit and interest shown
in the editorials.
RE spoke of the International Good
Roads Congress at Buffalo, and now it
was interrupted by the awful calamity
which took away President Mckinley.
Brief reference was made 10 the trip
OF the train through the South, starting
liz North Carolina, at Winston Salem,
then visiting Tennessee, Alabama, Geor-
gia and now coming back into North
Carolina, and the speaker said he was
glad to sec Mr. r. H. Hanes, OF Win

Col Moore then said he wanted this
congress TO organize a State Association.
He suggested that road engineer or
Highway Commissioner be appointed in
order to create a system in. every part
Of the State.
"Why IS there a tax in some coun-
ties and III others none?" he asked.
There should be tax in every county.

p G. Skinner. from the audience.
Il don't agree to that said Col.
Moore. Part of it ought to be paid by
the corporations and railroads. / say to
you that the corporations and railroads
are perfectly willing TO help YOU and the
cities benefit as much from good roads
as the county, while the farmers are not

candidates will be those that touch you
and your homes, and what interest is
more vital to you than this question OF
good roads?"
The speaker gave practical Illustration
of the effect of roads upon school work
You are not going to have good schools
unless you have good roads,, said he.
The proposition that confronts us is
how we are going TO get the money for
cur roads"
Col Moore spoke of the history of the
present Good Roads Association. The
movement started, he said. in Kansas
City Mo, where State convention was
held. In 1895 an Inter- State convention
was called at st. Louis, where fourteen
States We're represented. Then in 1897
another Interstate convention was
called at which twenty-one states were
represented. Then appropriations were
asked for from Congress. In 1898 came
the Spanish War, and only SIS, 900 was
appropriated. Another convention was
called in 1900 in Chicago and there were
thirtynine States ana two Territories
represented. There was organized the
National Good Roads Association

and was escorted TO the platform amid
applause.)
In that convention at Chicago. Con-
gress was memorialized TO appropriate
$4,000 for the establishment of the Bu-

oLEOMARaARINE BILL PASSED.
Bill Passed Paying For Supplies Taken From
Loyal Citizens During Civil War
(By the Associated Press }

washington, Feb. 12-The House to"
day passed the Oleomargarine Bill which
has been under consideration in that
body during the last ten days There
was no division on the final passage, the
real test of strength having been made
upon the motion TO recommit, which was
defeated by majority of 81, the vote
standing IL 10 lis. The provision to
require the inspection and branding of
renovated butter, which was adopted in
committee of the whole yesterday, was
retained today on aye and no vote,
AS finally passed the bill is somewhat
modified from the form in which ii was
reported from the Committee on Agricul-
ture. 1t makes oleomargarine or imita-
tion butter or cheese transported into any
State or Territory for use, sale or con-
sumption therein subject to the laws
of such State or Territory, notwithstand-
ing that it may be introduced in original
packages and imposes a tax of 10 cents
per pound on oleomargarine made in imi-
tation OF butter of any shade of yellow, -
but when not made in such imitation the
tax Is reduced to one-fourth of one cent
per pound. The second section is intend
ed to prevent dealers, hotel proprietors,
restaurant and boarding house keepers
from coloring the uncolored article by
making any person who colors the product
and then sells@or furnishes it, to others
manufacturer within the meaning Of
the act, Penalties for violation OF the
act are fine of not less than $50 nor
more than $500, and Imprisonment of not
less than thirty days nor more than six
months.
War claims occupied the attention OF
the House after the passage Of the
Oleomargarine Bill, and the day was
made notable by the passage of the first
bill for the payments of claims OF United
states citizeris arising out of the Spanish
war. 1t carried something over 5000
for the payment Of 202 claims for prop
erty taken within the United States for
the use of the army. An omnibus bill
claims aggregating $2114,552 for
stores and supplies taken from loyal
citizens during the Civil War was also
passed. These claims We're allowed
under the provisions of the Bowman act
and the bill was identical with one pass
ed by the House at the last session. Two
other bills which have been before Con-
gregs for twenty eight years to refer GER
tain claimus for additional compensa-
tion by the builders of certain mouitors
during the Civil War to the Court Of
Claims were likewise passed.
