addresses how Senator Kittredge

The fast is that Sen. Kittredge did
not vote against the rate bill, and
La Toilette did not accuse him of
doing 80. The charge made by
Sen. La Toilette was that Sen.
Kittredge voted against the amend
ments to the bill that he offered,
It is also a fact that Sen. Gamble
voted against the most important
of these amendments, and the in
consistency of Mr.. La Toilette was
his attempt to discredit Sen. Kit

teresting bunch Of witnesses in the
Federal court this morning were
some IA or 10 negroes who hail from
the Red Hills Of South Carolina and
Georgia. They are known around tho
our as Attorney Holton's poems"
1t is true that the negroes claimed that
thye had been kept at work at the
point of a gun, but this morning they
appeared to have b1en anything u
m~istreated. They were sleek looking,
well dressed and bore no wounds
about their persons. at least none
We're visible. These so-called poems
appeared as witnesses against w. l..
Smith, w. A. Berry and others who
are grading a railroad from Georgia
to Franklin in North Carolina. They
were SO numerous this morning that
Judge Boyd inquired if there were
enough Bibles to go around. District
Attorney Holton was prosecutor and
Mr.. T. S. Rollins appeared for thu
defendant. The case viii ~probobly be
completed tomorrow.
The Fedora court was crowded
even to the aisles this morning when
Franc H. Jones pleaded guilty to the
various charges that nave been pre-
ferred against him by the National
Government for rObbing the Charlotte

following plea was entered by he
clerk of the court this morning:
THE defendant, F. II. Jones, comes
into court in his own proper person,
and being informed of the charges
in the Indictment, says for his plet
that he is guilty upon the counts set
out in the Indictment
As soon as this plea was made Mr..
Jones, accompanied by Mrs. Jones and
bic attorney Mr.. c.. d. Bennett left
the court DOM
The same bond of $4,000 will stand
until the joint cas- against Fonvil!e
and Jones is tried. District Attorney
Holton stated this morning that he
would not pray judgment in the case
until the Fonville end of the case has
been tried. The joint trial has been
set for Monday morning at 10 O'Clock.
The following are the counts 20
which Jones pleaded guilty:
First-That Franc H. Jones, being
teller and assistant cashier of the
band, did take n appropriate to his
own use the sum of $41,49O, being q
mart of the reserve fund of the Char
lotte National Bank.
Second.-That Franc H. Jones on
the 14th of March did make false en-
tries in that he raised a check on the
Merchants and Farmers Bank $4,000
and appropriated this sum to his oWn
use.
Third.-That Franc H. Jones did on
the 18th of March max false entries
in thai he raised q check on the Com
mercial National Bank $4,000 and APP
propriated the same to his own use.
Fourth.-That Franc II. Jones did
on the 18th of March make false en-
I tries in that he raised a check on the

counts to which Tones pleaded guilty.
The part of the counts denied was the
S41.490 in the first count. The mis-
appropriation of the FUNDS was not
denied, but it was not admitted that
the sum was either more or less than

porations are inundated b. d fashion
as powerful al II is pernicious. 1 have

mitted that they wouId prohibit such

Really, however, their fears are

SANDS Of parents would welcome a

Very many hundred students. who
carry in silence burdens accrufng from
the evil and from which they would
like to be free, would also welcome
such a reform. College authorities
VINO ought to be leaders in all educa-
tlonal matters shOuld not hesitate for
a moment in this much needed reform.
CoWardice on their part in such a mat
ter IS peculiarly re~prehensible.
Let them provide good g~ymnasiums
Tor the students, in which physical de-
Veiopment may be provided for in a
perfectly sane and safe way. Let them
set apart athletic fields for proper
sports among the students of the
institution and forbid them going to
games at other points. In any insti-
tuition which has a decent patronage
enough students can be found TO play
with each other all the games which
are necessary without running over
the land, mourning railway and hotel
expenses, to get into games with the
students Of other colleges.
There is no danger of a loss Of pat
ronage by the adoption Of such a
policy. ] tried it When president Of
Emory College and hat institution
had the largest enrolment OF any col
lege for young men in the State the
last year | was at it's head. 1t has
continued the same policy until now,
and its patronage is still good.
Pitfful indeed is the case of an in
stftution of higher learning which can
not hold its patronage without pand-
erfng to the athletic craze. It's faculty.
is surely weak indeed if they can only
draw students TO their feet through
the yells of the "rooters'' and the
games Of the players for whom the
"roOters" root. If I We're still at the
head Of an institution of learning /
would resent any effort to fasten on
the college this poor policy of root

ALL ONE SYSTEM
Uniform Method for Rail-
road Accounts.
Plan Worked out With Great
Care and After fuli and
IIpa.,apt InRE,Itaf ZION
Frequent Consultation.
CBy the Associated Press)

washington, u. c.. Jure t5.-Thc
interstate commission to-
day promulgated a uniform system Of
for railroads. provided for
under the railroad ate law passed at
the last session Of Congress. The
system viii go into effect July 1st.
covering operating revenues and op-
Grating expenses and thereafter rail
roads will be compelled to file month
~ reports. The method adopted is
intended to insure a correct statement
of net revenues from operation and Is
expected to result in keeping the cost
OF improvements out Of perating ex-
penses and therefore exclude them
from the cost of performing current
business. The expense Of soliciting
traffic Is separated from the expense
of hauling traffic The construction
are to be drawn that a cur
rent record Of the physical value Of
railway property Is always accessible.
The classification of accounts has
been worked out with the assistance
Of cooperation Of the railway account
ing officers. Every carrier has been
notified from time to time OF the pro-
gress of the work and no question has
been decided without first requesting
of every carrier it's views and suggeS-
lions. This has been done by a series
o fcircuIars and thousands Ct letters
havee received in response to these
circulars. Assistance has been rend-
cred by committees representing the
American Railway Association. the
Presidents and aMnagers Association
and the Freight Claim Association
The significant feature is that the aC-
counting officer of each carrier is
made personally responsible for the
application of the rules of account
ing promulgated by the commission
This is regarded by the commission
as the most important step that the
sion Federal government has ever
undertaken in the development Of adj
ministrative supervision oyer a quasi
public business like that of the rail-
ways.
