Two STRONG PROHIBITION ADDRESSES.
Dr.. Z0lIic0ffeF and Hf. Jones,

Tuesday night large audience
gathered in the skating rink to hear
DIR. D. B. Zollicoffer, Of Weldon, and
Rev. C. A. Jones, pastor of the
Methodist church Of Scotland Neck,
discuss prohibition.
The meeting was presided over by
E. E. Hilliard and the exercises were
opened with prayer by Rev. J. E.
Hutson.
Mr.. E, E. billiard briefly present
ed DR.. Zollicoffer to the audience as
a popular speaker in Scotland Neck,
this making the fourth time he had
appeared here during the past six
months, once before on the subject
Of prohibition.
DR.. Zollicoifer spoke with great
earnestness and effect, devoting the
most of his address to answering the
objections which whiskey advocates
raise to prohibition, mainly that it
takes away ones liberty and does
not prohibit. These objections were
fully and effectually answered by
Dr.. Zollicoffer in most mastery and
convincing logic. Want of space
forbids any detailed report of the
address. DR.. Zollicoffer was at his
best and surely all who heard his
strong address must have accepted
his argument.
Mr.. Albion Dunn in a few we'll
chosen remarks presented Rev. C.. A.
Jones, who discussed prohibition as
moral question as it relates to the
school, the church and the Sabbath.
He showed conclusively that there
is no place for the saloon in connec-
ton with a school; that there is no
place for it in connection with the
church, and that the holy Sabbath is
too sacred a day in which to tolerate
it.
Mr.. Jones spoke in his character
istic epigrammatic style and made
a strong plea for sweeping prohi-
hition victory Oil May 2Gth. He show
ed by statistics the great advantage
which prohibition States and terri
tories have over those in which the
saloon is a licensed institution, and
called upon the manhood Of this
community and the State to register
the doom Of the liquor traffic by
their ballots on May 26th.
There is not space for detailed re-
ports. DR.. Zollicofer and Mr.. Jones
delighted the great audience and
their addresses will tell on election
day.
At the conclusion MIR. Albion
Dunn suggested that the ladies Or
game to furnish music, recitations
and the like for succeeding prohibi-
ton meetings here.

OPPOSED BY CONGRESS-.
Plan of Drafting Legislation Through
Commissions.

Washington, April 23.-Congress is
preparing to go on record against the
policy of drafting legislation through
commissions authorized for that pur-
pose. Three propositions for the es-
tablishment of important commissions
have been suggested In the present
session and may have to be disposed
of before adjournment. The principal
one of these commissions is that pro-
posed to investigate tariff conditions
and plan the revision that will take
place next year. Another commission
now in prospect is that before the
house in connection with financial leg
islation and a third has been sug-
gested by the National Civic Fedora
tion. The last named would provide
for general review of legislation af-
fecting capital and labor with the OBJ
ject of suggesting amendments to the
Sherman antitrust law after the man.
ner provided by the Hepburn bill,
which was advocated by the president
in special message to congress.
The leaders of the senate and house
have given the subject of the appoint
ment of commissions considerable
thought recently and have reached
the conclusion that any such bodies
organized shall be composed solely of
members of congress- So far as a cur
rency commission is concerned the
members seem to prefer one of ten
members, five from each body. If q
tariff commission is to be authorized,
which is not now thought probable.
the number might be increased to
twenty members, equally divided be-
| tween the two houses. Congress lead
ers are almost unanimously opposed to
any commission to suggest amend.
ments to the Sherman antitrust law

CONGRESSMEN IN WRECK
Messrs. Tawney (Minn.) and CLANCY
Nnd.l Shaken Up.

Washington, April 23.-Representa-
tive Tawney of Minnesota, chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tions, was injured in the back, Repre-
sentative John C. CLANCY of Indiana
was painfully injured on the hip and
score of other passengers suffered
slight injuries as the result of a rear
end collision on the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. line of the Capital Traction com.
pany.
A heavy Mount Pleasant car was
speeding rapidly behind Georgetown
car and the motorman of the former
claims the accident was caused by the
brakes of his car refusing to work.
Benjamin F. Oden, private secretary
to Representative Flood of Virginia,
was among those shaken up by the
accident. Frederick l.. Trowbridge of
Newton, Mass, manager of the New
England Conservatory of Music at
Boston, was a passenger on the
Georgetown car, but escaped serious
injury. The accident delayed street
car traffic on Pennsylvania avenue for
half an hour.
Hospital ambulances and patrol
wagons were summoned to the scene,
but none of those injured would go to
the hospital for treatment. None of
them received any cuts or serious
bruises and Repres sentatives Tawney
and CLANCY proceeded to the Capitol,
explaining that they had only been
shaken up by the collision.

LOOKS SERIOUS TO RUSSIA
Rising on the Persian Frontier Grad
uaiIy Spreading.


st. Petersburg, April 23-The sit
uation on the Persian frontier is con-
sidered here to be steadily becoming
more serious, despite the check to the
Persian brigands April 20, when the
Russian forces drove the bandits back
with heavy losses. The rising Is
gradually spreading, the other noun
taineers now flocking to the assist
ance of the Shaksetan and Beglivin
tribes, against whom the operations
are being conducted Colonel Kono-
valosef, the Russian chief of staff of
the frontier guard, who for years has
been stationed on the Persian frontier,
believes that the struggle will not be
terminated until the Persians have re-
ceived a lesson like that OF fifteen
years ago, when Russian punitive
expedition crossed the frontier and,
after extended operations, killed over
1000 tribesmen and compelled two
tribes to sue for peace.
The tribesmen are intensely hostile
to the Russians and they mutilate
savagely the wounded Russians that
fall into their hands. The brigands
are well armed and the operations
against them consequently are made
difficult for the troops.
The frontier guard is inadequate to
cope with the situation and military
expedition is required to assist them.
No aid is expected from Persia, as
