entitled to the fruits, whether wild or
not, that grew on them.
Dr. Riddick said in the name Of the
poor people of the State, he protested
against the bill.
Mr.. Daughtridge of Edgecombe, asked
that his county be included in the provis
ions of the bill. He said it would be but
little trouble for a person desiring it, to
obtain consent of the owner to pick fruit,
etc, from his lands.
Dr. Alexander, of Mecklenburg, said if
the people of Vance desired this bill, he
believed they should have it. In Neck
lenburg, in one township, the negroes by
picking black berries, making it into
wine and selling it, became such a nuis
ance, they had to be indicted,
before it could be broken up. 1t
was no trouble for the proper person to
gather fruit or berries, and while he
would not favor such a drastic law for
Mecklenburg county he would vote for
it, at the request of the representative
from Vance.
Mr.. King, of Pitt, strongly
supported the bill, saying the present
custom of general pillage of other men s
property by every irresponsible negro in
community way entirely wrong.
Amendments including Pitt, Wilson,
Caswell, Cabarrus and Edgecombe coun-
ties were offered to the bill.
On motion of Mr.. Gay, of Northampton,
the amendments were tabled, which car
ried the original bill down in the wreck.

A CONFERENCE WITH.
BOWEN.
He Holds His First Meeting
With the Powers Repre-
Sentatiyes.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., Jan. 27.-By ap-
pointment the first joint conference of
the Venezuelan negotiations occurred this
afternoon at Minister Bowen's apart
mcnts, the ranking diplomat. Signor
Mayor Des Planches, the italian Am
bassador, making the representations in
French to Mr.. Bowen. The question I'M
der discussion was a matter of the
merest detail, the ENJOYS wishing to
know whether the monthly payments to
the allies should be in proportion to the
amount of the claims, or whether Great
Britain, Germany and Italy would re-
celve the same amounts each month until
the indemnity was paid Mr.. Bowen
stated he was quite willing to leave this
to the powers themselves to settle and
that any arrangement they might make
would be satisfactory to Venezuela.
Another detail which has not yet been
cleared up involves the question of pref
erential treatment of the allied powers
as against the other powers, France,
Denmark, Holland, Norway and Sweden,
Belgium, Spain and the United States in
the payment of the indemnity. Mr..
Bowen contends that this question did
not form a part of the allies condition
precedent to the raising of the blockade.
His answer was cabled to the Foreign
Offices at London. Berlin and Rome to-
night and it is hoped that favorable an
swers will be received tomorrow. There
is reason to believe that Great Britain
Germany and Italy will yield to this last
objection and sign the protocol for the
raising of the blockade.
1t developed today that Great Britain
through her ambassador here. and by
means of cable exchanges between Lon
don and Berlin is working hard to clear
up the details of Mr.. Bowen's terms to
the entire satisfaction of Germany. When
the details of the diplomatic exchanges
regarding the Venezuelan dispute are
published it will be found that Sir
Michael Herbert in the interest of peace
and a satisfactory settlement went to
the extent of using his personal influ-
ence to secure the acceptance of Minis
ter Bowen's proposition.

The House Proceedings.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 27.-The House de-
voted the day to two bills reported by
the Judiciary committee. One was to cure
the defect in the Wilson Act exposed by
the original packing decision of the Su
preme court by making intoxicating liq
uors imported into States subject to the
Jurisdiction of such States. The bill is
designed to prevent evasion of the local
law under the original packing decision in
prohibition States.
The other bill is to increase the sala-
ries of Federal judges. 1t raises the sal
aries of the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court to s13, 900, the Associate Justices
to $500, Circuit judges to $1,000, Dis
trict judges to $500, Associate Justices
to sc, 900 and the Justices of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia to
Sc, 600.
The House voted down an amendment
offered by Mr.. Randall, of Texas, to pro-
hibit Federal judges from accepting free
TRANSFORMATION from railroads or tele-
graph or telephone franks.
A bill was passed to fix the times for
holding court in the western district OF
Virginia
The House adjourned until tomorrow.

The parlor cars of the Royal Blue line
pitfalls. The dead as they were taken out
were laid in a row alongside the track
until means could be found to convey
them to Plainfield.
The firemen after a time stopped the
flames. Then the wreckage was attack
ed again and the work of recovering the
bodies was begun. Out of the first car
eight bodies were taken. The sight,
while the wreck was burning, was hor
rifying. Men could be seen in the wreck
age pinned fast amid the timbers of the
cars and struggling to be free, while the
flames roared around them. The rescuers
were helpless to aid them as they al
ready had been driven from the wreck
by the flames.
One of those who tried to take out q
man pinned in found that he was held
down by one leg near the ankle, and
seeing it would be useless to do anything
else, is said to have finally severed the
mans leg and then carried him to one of
the parlor cars. Both rescued and
rescuer were badly burned.
When the engine ploughed into the
rear car it partly split the car open and
at the same time lifted it up and on to
itself. This car was the first to take
fire, and most of those in it are dead.
Some of them are believed to be be-
meath the overturned engine.
Those in the car ahead, which was
lifted over the rear car, suffered the
most. For some time before the flames
reached them the car below and behind
them, they were enveloped in smoke and
steam, and it was here that the worst
sights were witnessed.
One passenger only was severely hurt
on the Royal Blue. He was walking IN
the aisle of one of the cars when the
crash came, and the impact hurled him
up into the air and sidewise across tie
heads of several persons in chairs, and
then through a window. His hands was
cut and bruised. He said he was a son
OF John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia. He
did good work later on after his hands
had been handaged.

THE STATEHOOD BILL
Quay Struggles for the Meas
ure. Fails to Hold a
Quorum.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan Ex-senator Quay
made an effort today to hold the Senate
in continuous session to consider the
Statehood bill, but failed to hold a quo
rum and was compelled on that account
to allow the Senate to adjourn at 6 90
p. m. He secured another ballot, how
ever, to test the sentiment of the Sem
ate, the vote standing IL to 80 in his ia
vor. The day was spent in consideration
of the Statehood bill with the exception
of an hour devoted to speech by Mr..
Scott, of West Virginia, on the Pension
Laws. The feature of the Statehood bill
under especial consideration today was
the Arizona refunding proposition. 1t
was charged that the territory has sought
to repudiate the bonds held by Hon. Bird
S.Coler, late Democratic candidate for
Governor of New York. Mr. Foraker OK
planned that the bonds were originally is
sued by Palma county and were declared
fraudulent by the United States Su-
preme Court.
Afterward he said there had been leg
islation by Congress making the debt
valid as against the territory as whole
and that afterwards the court had held
the bonds to be binding. Mr.. Foraker
said that the proceeds arising from the
sale of the bonds had been pocketed by
"a lot of thieves and scoundrels."
Mr.. Lodge said that the history of the
be nds would not be considered creditable
to any community regardless of whether
they were held by Mr.. Coler or any one
else and he was pleased that the ques-
ton had been brought up because" he
added, sit throws strong if not a
pleasing light upon the character of the
people affected"
