REVISE THE TARIFF
Roose Wit is Out For 1t
Flat Footed.
The Only Question is, How Will 1t Be
Revised e? He is Hot For Chang
es in Freight
Rates.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washin gton. Jan. 10.-PreSident
Roosevelt faVOrS the earliest possible
action looking to a revision by Con-
gress of the tariff. He so Informed
the Senators and Representatives who
were in the conference with him ut
the White House last Saturday and
he has made plain his position 10
others since that conference. he VIII
call the Fifty-ninth Congress into ex-
traordinary session as soon as the
committees have indicated that they
are prepared to submit q tariff meas
ure for passage.
While no decision of a definite char
acter has been reached as to the time
of the extraordinary session, it is
reasonably certain that. if one should
be held, it will be called TO meet next
autumn. probably in October. Though
the President is deeply in earnest i'll
his desire for tariff revision, he regards
the question as one of eXpediencY in
which no great principle is at stake.
On another question, however. that
of legislation relating to the inter-
State freight rates of railroads-hls
mind is quite made up. He Will fight
for that legislation and fight hard.
He hopes to secure from Congress
some definite action regarding that
legislation at the present session but
if he does not, he will bring the SUBJ
ject again before Congress at the pro-
posed extraordinary session. The
freight rate question he does not re-
gard as one of eXpediency. He holds
that il is a subject in which a great
moral principle is involved and one
very near to all the people of the
country. He regards it, in fact. a. the
paramount issue at this time--f2r and
away more important than the pro-
posed revision of the tariff.
The President at Saturdays confer
ence cordially approved of the dispo-
sition of Congress to hold the appl o.
rriations down to the lowest possible
unit, but he urged very strongly that
the naval appropriations should not
be materially disturbed, saying that
the best guarantee Of peace for this
country lies III a strong and homo
geneous navy, and that the naval pro-
gram as mapped out should be car
ried into effect, without the dropping

SUPREME COURT.
Tuesday Busy Day in COurt-Alan,
Small Cases Disposed OF.

The second day of Wake Superior
Court convened yesterday morning at
$50 o'clock with Judge Moore pre-
siding.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the days session was the finding Of
a true bill of murder against RAYMOND

The ~rand jury after hearing the
testimony of the States witnesses in
the case could do nothing else but re-
turn "a true bill. 1t is not known just

next week. The court room is crowd
ed from day to dav with eager people
to see and hear all that is done in the
court.
A superior court is a place Of in
terest for many people and more es-
pecially when the term is for the trial
of criminal cases. Many fellow VINO
has business elsewhere will sit all day
long and take as much interest in the
proceedings as if ne were a part of the
court. Mr.. Bynum'S trial promises TO
be one of much interest, and it is with
out doubt that many people are anX-
ious to hear his trial.
The Huff case was set for trial next
Tuesday, however it is understood
that the State will in view of the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court
enter a mol pros.
The most important cases disposed
of during the day were:
State VS.. Hubert Pope, charged with
carrying concealed weapons. Not

carrying concealed weapons. Fined Il
