Especial to News and Discovery
Greensboro, n. c., Dec. PA very i'm
portant meeting of the Committee of the
Methodist Protestant Conference, to de-
,termine upon the location for the pro-
poed college of that denomination in the
South was held at the Southern Loan
and Trust Company building last night.
After many hours of discussion and con-
ference, the decision was postponed for
sixty days at the urgent request of a
delegation from Henderson. who desired
more time to overcome the lead offer
made by Greensboro. The towns making
bids or propositions for the college were:
Hendersonville, Oxford. Henderson and
Greensboro. A proposition was also
made from leading high school. seven
miles from any railroad. but it was with
drawn from consideration by the pro-
posers after short discussion.
While the conference was strictly exc
cutive, it is learned that the offers were
such as to place the contest solely be-
tween Greensboro and Henderson. In
the matter of money offers, Greensboro
made much the highest bid last night,
but the extension of time for so days may
put Henderson in the lead. with Green's
educational center always to the front.
The following members of the College
Executive Committee were present last
night: Chairman F. r. Harris, Hender-
son; Geo. B. Harris, Rev. j. S. Williams,
Henderson; Rev VIM. Porter, High Point;
Prof. j. A. Holt, OAK Ridge: J. Norman
Mills, J. S. Hunter, Rev ]. F. CMlough,

Strong speeches were made to the COM
mittee by Mr.. c. G. Wright President of

busy Christmas holidays with the state
ment that it would be made $40, 900 by
January 1st and more later. Mr.. p D.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Commander Jno.

old gunboat Monacacy has reached this
country from the Asiatic. station, having
been ordered here by Rear Admiral Ev-
ans, commanding the station, for persist
ent infraction of the rules of the navy
which prohibit the commander of the YES

REGULATION OF RAILROADS.
Commissioner Prouty and Walker D. Hines
Speak on this Question.
(By the Associated Press,)


Philadelphia. Dec. 27-The second ses-
sion of the fiiftieth annual meeting of the
American Economic Association, held at
the University of Pennsylvania today
was devoted 10 a discussion of the topic
"Puplic Regulation of Railroads" The
principal speakers were Charles A.
Prouty, interstate commerce commission
er, whose papers was on National Tag
ulation," and Walker D. Hines, vice
president of the Louisville and Nash
lille Railroad. who spoke on Legislative
Regulation of Railroad Rates"
Commissioner Prouty was followed by
Mr.. Hines, who spoke in part as follows:
1.-THE Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is neither an expert nor an impartial
tribunal, as is proved by its decision and
the action of the courts upon them. 1t
is unnecessary, unwise and unjust to
give such a tribunal practically final
power over tie private capital invested
in railroads. At present the mistakes of
the railroad can be adequately corrected
in the courts. Under the proposed
method, the mistakes of the commission
could not be corrected anywhere.
The claim that low rates are due to
railroad competition and that as such
competition is disappearing, the power
TO reduce rates should be given to the
commission is fallacious because the gen
orally low basis of rates is due to the
competition between markets and be-
tween products, and to the fact that eco
nomical railroad management necessi-
tates constantly increasing the volume of
traffic and these conditions are bound to
continue.

TIE CASE OF JOSEPH AMEs.
Herrera and Gay Consult Over the Deporta'
Ew ton Of the Boy to Uruguay
(By The Associated Press

Washington. Dec 27.-Dr. Herrera
first secretary and charge daffaires of
the Uruguayan Legation, called on Secre-
tary Hay today in regard to the case OF
young Joseph Preston Ames, who, his
aunt, Mrs. Sparhawk, alleges was de-
ported from the United States with the
assistance of officials of the Uraguayan
Legation here.
DR.. Herrera outlined the history Of the
case briefly to the Secretary as he knew
it. According to his statement the boy
was brought to the Uruguayan Legation
some weeks ego by his maternal cousins,
who asked DR.. Herrera to take charge
of him, as they did not wish his fathers
relatives to get possession of the boy.
Dr. Herrera is a bachelor. and while
he always is ready to lend hand to his
fellow countrymen, he did not care to
assume the guardianship Of a young boy.
The case as represented to him showed
clearly that the boy was q Uruguayan
citizen. having been born in that country.
Furthermore his cousins declared that
the boys mother, on her death bed had
requested that her child be reared in
Uruguay. DR.. Herrera, in view of these
facts advised the boys cousin, Edward
Larroque, to make an affidavit to that
effect before a notary that the action
may not be challenged. The boy was
taken to New York by his cousins, and
from there sailed for Uruguay. Several
days later a notice of Mrs. Sparhawk' s
appointment as guardian was presented
to the charge d'affaires, but the boy not
being in his possession he was unable
to turn him over to his aunt.
DR.. Herrera is quite willing to throw
all the light possible on the case, and so
informed the Secretary.

Gen Carr for Senator,

To the Editor: Two years ago the
Senatorial issue was between Senator
Simmons and General Carr. and now it
is between General Carr and some half
dozen others. The election of Senator
Simmons was the logical result of the
Constitutional amendment.
A majority of those who voted for
Senator Simmons. under any other cir
cumstances would have preferred Gen
eral Carr, who. althouh not quite as
astute politician as cur junior Senator,
yet we are persuaded is better posted
on North Carolina history. ''No old
veterans home shall be sold over his
head while 1 have a dollar" an utterance
of General Cars, in q letter to the
sheriff of some county, enclosing a check
for the amount to cover an execution on
some old soldiers home, that should
forever endear him to every man who
carried musket in the war for Con-
stitutional liberty His unbounded lib
crafty to every good cause; his ability
as q speaker and orator; his intimate
knowledge of our State history, both
present and past places him easily first
among living North Carolinians.
And then, fellow citizens, if General
Carr be selected for that high position,
will it not be the first time in the his
tory of our State that an unprofessional
man was so honored. He has the pride
and the ability to properly represent us
in that august body. Everybody says
that North Carolina is rapidly forging
to the front on all lines that lead to
greatness and if General Carr is elected,
will It rot accelerate that movement?
