currency that body of armed men was
hidden somewhere in the State House,
with the purpose of Selling the chamber
of the House of Representatives some
time during the night, and holding it in
the interest of the Senatorial candidates.
The House chamber heretofore has been
guarded by three or four men, and
early this morning ladders are said to
have been found in one of the side COR
ridors, reaching to a window communi-
eating with the House gallery.
1t is also said that half a dozen I'M
known men were in the vicinity of the
ladders, who ran when discovered This
incident gave color to the rumors of an
intended armed attack upon the chamber
tonight. To guard against such a con-
tingency, Sergeant-at-A farms Plummer
placed thirty armed men, under charge
of Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Sherman
Bell. who was a member of Roosevelt S
Rough Riders, in the chamber with in
structions to protect it at all hazards.
Shotguns and large calibre revolvers are
very much in evidence, and it is not
thought likely that capture will be at
tempted if it were planned.
The Democratic members of the SEN
ate are still in session, although most
of them went to sleep upon cots early in
the evening They are protected by a
score of policemen and deputy sheriffs.

THE VILLAGE IN FLAMES
Shells From Three Grimm Warships Set it on
fir,---2oar Of an Explosion Heard From
The Direction Of the smoks-sL-
vshp. d Fort.
(By the Associated Press.)

Maracaibo, Venezuela, Jan. 21.-Three
German war vessels, supposed to be the
Panther, Vineta and Fake, began she'll
ing the fort of San Carlos at half past
ten o'clock this morning. The fort re-
turned the fire. The engagement was in
progress at one O'Clock this afternoon.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, in a row boat, approached to
within three miles of the fort at noon.
The roar of the guns was terrific. The
Panther appeared to be not more than
five hundred yards from the fort. Her
guns were being fired every minute. The
fort could not be seen for the clouds of
smoke, but it was plain that the Vene-
zuelan gunners were returning the Ger
man fire splendidly and with great
rapldity.
At one o'clock in the afternoon an eX-
plosion occurred, apparently in the fort,
and a denser cloud of the smoke covered
part of the ramparts. A number OF
Indian fishermen were intercepted, fleeing
from the direction of the fort in their
dugout canoes. They reported that the
smoke seen was from the burning village
of San Carlos, which had been sbelled
by the German ships and was in flames.
The Smelling of San Carlos has created
much excitement among the German
residents of this port, who have protest
ed against the action of the warships.

Ransom for Senator.

To the Editor: Trot the old war horse
out. Is there 4 man in the wide domain
of North Carolina fit to be Senator? Yes
numbers of them. The unsuccessful bal
loting so far has not found him. In this
uncertainty, is there not some silent
thinking of one, who ought to be there -?
Is there in the Congress from North
Carolina a single representative of the
old veterans, who stands back, and looks
silently with wistful eyes, and feeling in
his heart, Il wish l could vote"
Trot the old war horse out, fill the
hearts of these men of '65 with gladness,
for he belongs to no section, neither
North. South, East or West, but the
whole State is his. He is the peer of
Morgan and Pettus, and coeval with
them. Brilliant, as you all know, vigor
Gus in old age, the highest type of South
ern chivalry, and the most distinguished
living North Carolinian today. You have
had a fair chance, yet no choice. Trot
the old war horse out! and when he has
passed his last milestone, you can look
back with pride and say, well done
thou noble hearted Roman, we shall not
see your like again

WITNESS PROVES A BOOMERANG
Chairman Gray. Makes Some Strong Remarks
About Exercise of Tyranny.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Philadelphia, Jan. 21.-The sessions OF
the Coal Strike Commission today were
enlivened by some interesting testimony.
The feature of the session was Chairman
Gray's rather strong remarks in COM
menting on an incident where District
President Fahey, of the Miners Union,
would not grant permission" during the
strike to a contractor to erect boiler
house at colliery which was necessary
to preserve the mine from damage.
Judge Gray said he hated tyranny, no
matter whether it was practiced by an
operator, miner or any one else.
During the morning session the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company, which presented
it's case today after the Temple Iron
Company closed, placed a union miner
on the stand to testify about what
seemed to be a trivial matter and on
cross examination he proved good wit
ness for the miners. He said there would
be trouble in the anthracite regions as
long as the coal companies insisted upon
paying the contract miners by the car
instead of by weight. The commission
will devote an entire day to hearing
arguments on both sides of the question.

ILKINs ANTITRUST BILL.
1t Covers Features CT Antitrust Legislation
Relating to Railroads
(By the Associated Press


Washington, d. c., Jan. Ex-senator
Elkins today introduced a bill which
covers the features of anti trust legis-
latlon so far as it relates to railroads.
1t contains the provisions which have
been recommended by Attorney General
Knox as to the punishment of those who
receive as well as those who give re-
bates. 1t provides for the punishment
OF corporations by fine instead of i'm
prisonment of the officials; also for in
functions to prevent determinations.
Its purpose is to separate Interstate
commerce and railroads from other trust
legislation. The Interstate Commerce
Commission committee has been unable
to agree on measures which have been
pending before it relating to pooling and
liking rates by the Inter State Com
meree Commission. The new bill leaves
these contested questions out and covers
features which have been most conspic
uous in the preparation of antitrust
legislation. The bill referred to the
Committee on Inter State Commerce, of
which Senator Elkins is chairman, and
1t is the intention of the committee to
take it Up at an early date.

ADVANCE IN FREIaHT RATEs.
The Southern and the c. and o. Answers Com.
MISSIONS Question.
By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 21-The Southern
Railway has filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission an answer to the
request for it's reasons for advancing
freight rates on grain, dressed meats and
other commodities The Southern says
the advances We're made on domestic
grain oil, grain syrup, glucose, grape
sugar and glucose syrup effective De-
cember s, and export provisions and
dressed beef, effective January 1, last
Fourth Vice President Culp says that
while the figures which took effect on
these dates are advances over the rates
in effect Immediately prior thereto, they
are not advances above the standard
rates and explains this statement by
showing the competitive returns between
the trunk lines and the Southern.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, in
its answer, says the commodity rates now
advanced had been on an especially low
basis to facilitate the movement of that
class of traffic and We're subject to
change and the present advance, it
claims, is not all in proportion to the
extent of the change in the conditions
of cost Of transportation and in the value
of the commodities transported. The an
swer says that the road cannot consent
to an inference that it's rates are unfair
or unreasonable or to an acknowledgement
that it cannot fix it's own rates so long
as they are on sub reasonable and proper
basis.

RAISE THE BLOCKADE
This is VenezueIa's Condition

Washington, jan 21.-Raising the

Gent to the formal institution of nego-

Minister Bowen, has presented this prop
osition to the representatives of the
allies here and it has been cabled to the
Foreign Office at London, Berlin and
Rome. Little progress can be made
pending the receipt of the answers, which
It is expected will be in the nature of
a joint reply and may not reach Wash
ington for several days.
} Considerable reticence is being main
t$ined by the negotiators IS to the pre-
liminary steps and they are averse to
discussing the nature of Venezuelas
initial proposition until a reply to it has
been made. 1t is understood, however,
hat in asking that the blockade be lifted
Minister Bowen understood that he was
in a position to offer a suitable guaranty
for the payment Of The just claims of the
allies. He did not state however, what
this surety was and it is expected the
reply of the powers will be in the nature
of counter proposition that Venezuela
agree to a settlement of the claims aris-
ing from the injuries done to foreign
citizens in Venezuela.
1t developed today that Minister
Bowens powers include jurisdic-
lion over the claims of all foreign coun-
tries, Castro having authorized him to
negotiate through the representatives at
Washington, with all the powers having
claims against his country. No active
steps, however, will be taken until the
preliminary difficulties have been cleared
