(By the Associated Press }

Washington, Jan. 16.-By a vote of
60 to 24O today the Senate decided
to consider the cross town street rail
way bill for Washington. but the meas
ure soon gave place to the Statehood
Bill. That measure was discussed for
three hours by Messrs. Simmons and
Hepburn, both of whom favored the
elimination of Arizona from the bill.
Mr. Simmons made Il plea against
the proposed State of Arizona on the
ground of area, saying that the aver
age distance from the counties in
cluded in the present territory of Ari-
zona to Santa Fe, the proposed capi-
tai, was five hundred miles. He con-
tended that, as shown in the case of
the division of Dakota into two
states, the tendency was towards small
Ter instead OF larger states and added
that New Mexico and Arizona COM
bined would be twice as large as both
the Dakotas together. The fortunes Of
the two territories had been irrevo-
cably severed when the territory of
Arizona was created, out of a part Of
New Mexico.

Elizabeth City y. c., Jan. 16.-Par-
t:culars reached the city yesterday OF
d very bloody fight which occurred at
Davis store in Providence township,
about one mile from Berea and about
seven miles from this city, Saturday
night.
The origin of the trouble, which WAS
between the McE hehsons and Jennings,
Sc emed to have been causd by tn at
tntion that was bestowed on one Of ths
McPhersons and one of the eJnnlngs
by young lady of the neiyhborhood
Sometime ago, SO It's reported. JOEn
Pritchard, who is q members of the
Mcpherson group, gave the young lady
IL the case q watch. She in turn
either loaned or gave it to young
Grover Jennings. l'ritchard saw JeI-
n.ngs with the watch and Vt was decid-
ed that all should meet GRE uight last
week and settle the matter. The meet
ing was postponed until saturday night
" hen all met at Davis store and, the
melee began Just how it started
none seem to be able to tell, as it all
happened at once, :>ut when the sniok"
had cleared away. It was found that
three of the Mcpherson boys were cut,
two Of them seriously, one having his
throat cut and the other his ear en-
tirely severed. Daniel Jennings,
father of the Jennings boys, aged
about sixty years was right badly cut
IN the shoulder and two of the Jen-
nings boys were cut one in the arm
and the other in the face.
During the fight which lasted for
some time, Mrs. Davis. in front of
whose house it occurred acted as sur
geon and would bind up the wounds
of each as they fell.
DR.. McMullen WAS sent for by the
Jennings, and DR.. Sawyer by the Nc
Phersons, and the wounded are all
doing as Well as could be expected,
under the circumstances.
The number that We're engaged in
the fight is Variously estimated at
from twelve to twenty. but the three
Mcpherson boys, John, Prtchard and
two men from Camden, whose names
were not obtainable on the one side,
and Daniel Jennings, his four sons,
Hiram Eason and Claude Ref, seem
to have made the combatants on the
other. Those who witnessed the fight
say that it was very bloody. There
were knives, brass knucks and hick-
ory sticks galore and they were used
extensively and with telling effect.
The great wonder of ii all is that none
were killed.
The fight took place only short
distance from the home of the Relfs.
who were I'D in the court here few
months ago for fighting, and one of
them cutting his mother.
1t was reported here this afternoon
that the parties On both sides would
reorganize and meet again tonight for
another battle.

ing an Appropriation for Done
at EdentOn.

Eastern North Carolina is restless
from having to send its daughters, de-
string a higher education, to the CEN
trail and Western part of the State,
and a number of counties surround
ing Chowan will ask of this legislature
an appropriation for the establishment
of an Eastern North Carolina State
Normal school at Edenton, for the
preparation of teachers for the public
schools. That section will donate the
grounds, and what it wants from the
General Assembly is sufficient
amount to erect suitable buildings.
and to give the school good start.
Senator Vann, of Chowan. has re-
ceived the following petition from the
Chowan County Board of Education,
dated January /:
Whereas our public schools in
Eastern North Carolina have not
reached the state of efficiency neces-
sary to recommend them to the pub
lie as furnishing a means of thorough
and practical education. even in the
ordinary branches of learning, and
that this inefficiency is largely due to
the fact that only a very few COM
petent and properly trained teachers
are employed in the schools. because
there are no schools in this section
of the State for the training of such
teachers, and
Whereas, 1t can never be hoped TO
have our public schools reach the
necessary state of efficiency that win
recommend them to parents as proper
and efficient means for educating the
rising generation until we have a sup
ply of well qualified and properly
trained teachers, and
Whereas There is a great scarcity
of teachers even poorly qualified for
the work.
Therefore, be it resolved: First.
that we heartily commend the estab-
iishment of a State Normal school for
the purpose of preparing teachers for
the public schools.
Second: That we unite our sister
counties in this petition for a liberal
appropriation by the legislature now
in session for the establishment of the
school in Eastern North Carolina.
Third That we urge upon our
Representatives and Senators to lend
their assistance in securing the proper
legislation for the establishment of
said school,"
