vestigation and it's report is necessari-
ly public document.
Following the lengthy preamble the
resolutions are as follows:
Be it resolved,
First. That the report of the in
vestigating committee is not the
private property of the governor;
That said report was procured at pub
lie expense and embodies a recon-
mendation which the Governor was in
good faith bound to observe; that said
report dealt with the advantages of
Wrightsville as a claimant for an en-
campment site, and that the city of
Wilmington is entitled to this report,
and to know the reason why More
head City was preferred over Wrights-
vile.
Second That in refusing to fur
nish a copy of said report to the COM
mittee from this chamber, the Gov
ernor lays himself open to the sus-
picion of conserving the interest of
Morehead City at the cost of the mill
tary service of the State. as we'll as
having done Wrightsville a grave and
deliberate injustice.
Third. That we respectfully request
the Governor to furnish this chamber
with a copy of the report in question,
to the end that we may know what
are the short comings of Wrightsville
and the superior advantages of More
head City.
The discussion upon the resolution
was heated and a number of SenSa-
tional statements regarding favoritism
of the Atlantic and North Carolina
railroad were made.

The Panic Ruined Us, He
Says. Drags in Di-
reCtOrS.
(By the Associated Press.)

Charlotte, N. c., July 20.-Today' S
proceedings in the trial of William E.
Breese for embezzlement were the
most interesting since the trial be
gan, over week ago, the district at
torney resting the case for the gov
ernment, and the defendant. who is ac-
cused of taking $114,000 of the funds
of the First National Bank of Ashe-
Vile, of which he was president; going
on the stand in his own behalf.
The most interesting evidence
brought out by the prosecution was in
connection with the drafts the First
National Bank of Asheville had coll
lected for other banks and failed to
remit. Evidence was also brought
out to show that officers of the bank
had overdrawn their accounts for
large sums after they had notified GUS
tcmers that they had agreed to cease
"this form of accommodation"
The sensation of the day occurred
when evidence was introduced con-
Meeting the name of j. S. Adams, one
Of the attorneys for the defense, with
the transactions of the bank, just prior
to it's failure.
1t was shown that a note signed by
him had been taken up and replaced
by an insolvent note. The inSolvent
note was discounted and the proceeds
placed to the credit of Mr.. Adams.
The defence placed Mr.. Adams on the
stand and a satisfactory explanation
was made of the entire transaction.
The witness swore that his note which
was in the bank, was an accommoda-
ton not, and that he derived no bene-
fit from the proceeds. In order that
his position might be understood full
ly, District Attorney Hoiton said that
he did not intend to convey the i'm
preston that r. Adams was connected
with any wrong doing.
In his testimony Mr.. Breese explain
cd that the failure of the bank was
due to the panic of 1892 and 1898,
which caused a depreciation in all
values in the Asheville section. The
ill effects of the panic were visible in
Asheville for years. There was q
wholesale depreciation of values, rang
ing from SO to rs per cent, and the
entire community was almost ruined.
He claimed that his investments for
the bank were made with the consent
of the directors. The witness said in
a large pocket book were all the notes
he had made and the collateral Sc
curity thereof and that this had dis
appeared since the second trial. Dis
trict Attorney Holton said the pocket
book would be produced. Breese's di-
rect testimony was in progress when
court adjourned until tomorrow.
The case against Penland and Dick
erson, other officers of the defunct
bank, who are accused of taking about
S175, 900, have been continued to Oc-
tober, owing to the fact that Judge
Keller is called to West Virginia on
business.

HERE'S A SUIT FOR YOU.
Man May Be Sued for $4,000 for Ac-

Especial to News and Observer)
Norfolk, Va. July 20.-Because of
his activity in securing evidence
against Mayor j. Richard Holland,
of Holland, Va, John +. Vincent, of
the same town, may be made the de-
fendant in a $4,000 damage suit
The proposed suit is another step
in a series of happenings that have
grown out of the liquor fight at Hol-
land. The opposition to whiskey
caused the saloon men to abandon
their applications for licenses, and
the bars have been closed since May
1st.
Mayor Holland set to work to oust
from office all who had opposed the
vets, and at the June election the
ticket headed by himself won easily.
On the day of Mayor Hollands
qualification the grand jury returned
an Indictment charging the mayor
with selling whiskey without license
The petit jury returned verdict OF
acquittal.
One of the witnesses before the
grand and petit juries was Mr.. Vim
cent, who Mayor Holland thinks was
partly responsible for his prosecution,
and also says he sought to procure
evidence against the mayor by send
ing a colored man to buy whiskey
from a person who is employed as
cook by the mayor.

THE GOVERNOR CRITICISED.
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce
Stirred Up Over Refusal to
Furnish Copy Of Report on
Encampment Sites.
Especial to News and observer.)

Wilmington N. c.. July 20.-At a
called meeting of the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce this afternoon
at which there was a very represen-
tative attendance, Governor Aycock
was sharply censured for refusing the
special committee of the chamber a
copy of the report recently made to
His Excellency by the three men of
the military advisory board who were
detailed to visit Morehead and
Wrightsville and report upon the re-
spectiVe claims for the encampment
of the National Guard this summer.
Col. Walker Taylor, chairman of
the committee appointed from the
chamber 70 present the claims of
Wrightsville and Paymaster General
of the guard, made his report to the
executive council of the chamber of
commerce early this week, and the
matter came up this afternoon upon
a resolution thereon recommended by
the executive board, which recon-
mendation, after thorough discussion
was unanimously adopted as the senti-
ment of the entire body.
The report of the committee ap
pointed to present the claims of
Wrightsville to the military advisory
board in Raleigh, sets forth that the
adjutant general has cen addressed
three times for a copy of the report
and a reply had just been received,
stating that the governor declined to
give the same out for publication.
With an expression of confidence in
the committee sent to inspect the sites,
the report says that the chairman is
led to believe that they could not
possibly have recommended Morehead
in preference to WrightSville, and in
order to make an intelligent report he
made the endeaVOr to secure a COPY
of their report
The preamble to the recommended
ton of the executive council sets forth
that the encampment could have been
held at Wrightsville at a saving to the
state on a mileage basis of from
500 to $3.50, and that the site offered
mere possesses many advantages over
that offered at Morehead. The recon-
mendatlon also sets forth the hearing
before the military advisory board in
Raleigh as authorized by Governor
Aycock, and says that, while the
power to select a site resides abso-
lutely with the governor, he waived
his arbitrary right Of selection and
was in good faith bound either to ac-
cept the recommendation of the COM
mittee or to give satisfactory reasons
for not doing so. 1t is also stated that
