EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

Governor Glenn has issued his
proclamation for a special session of
the legislature to begin on Tuesday,
January 21st. The proclamation
states that the specific purpose of the
extra session is to change, modify,
straighten or repeal the railroad pas
senser rate of 24 cents mile passed
at the last session of the legislature.
The Governor says that the terms
offered by him to the railroads have
been accepted by all but one, and
this road 1.-THE Atlantic Coast Line)
accepts all the terms except an agree
ment for an Interstate rate, but he
says that doubtless circumstances
will regulate this rate as requested
The railroads have agreed to pay
$17,5OO towards the expense of con-
vening the legislature and the Court
cost.
In our opinion it was mistake
to call the extra session without first
having a definite agreement of some
kind with the Coast Line, for even
if the legislature should pass a law
as recommended by the Governor
and the Coast Line does not agree
to the interstate rate the matter
will still be unsettled and it would
not be right to expect the other
roads to comply unless the Coast
Line agrees to rate also. If the leg.
islature agrees promptly on the
Governors proposition and then ad-
journs, the $17,5OO which the rail-
roads have been forced to cough uI
to try the case against them, will
help out a good deal, but if they
stay in session to consider all the
matters that will be brought before
them, the probability is that they
will remain in session for many
days, in which event the taxpayers
will have to foot most of the cost OF
the extra session. The lawyers OF
Guilford County will petition the
legislature to create a new judicial
district so as to relieve the congested
condition of Guilford Court, and, by
by way of parenthesis, we might
add that this would give job to s
new democratic judge. A bill will
doubtless be introduced for prohi
ton for the entire State, which ques
ton alone would consume severa
days. IF it is found that the sheer
in Pitt County are not obeying The
new law forbidding them to 60 un'
der the churches and school houses
in that County, it may be necessary
to amend that law to meet the ext
gencies of the situation. There are
many other matters that will come
up for consideration, and if they arr
all passed upon it is possible thu
legislature will be in session fol
some time.

CAUSES HEAVY DAMAGE
BOOMING House Threatened - One
Ledger, Overcome, Is Awakened
in Time to Save His
Life

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. S1.-A fire orig
mating in the Interurban Motor Express
company's garage on Washington street
between Drumm and East streets short
ly after 8 o'clock this morning threatened
destruction to the entire wholesale pro-
duce commission district and before IL
was under the control of the firemen the
blaze wiped out half a block of tenn
porary structures on Drumm between
Washington and Oregon streets.
Fifteen minutes after the flames were
discovered nearly the entire square, con-
tanning half dozen commission houses,
a saloon and a garage, was ablaze. The
excellent supply OF water and the rapid
work of the hreighters was al that
saved the district.
The cause of the fire is believed to
have been the explosion of a gasoline
tank in one of the large motor express
trucks, two of which were kept in the
garage at the time. Several inmates OF
the National rooming house next to the
garage were overcome by the smoke and
1t was necessary to break open the doors
of one room to awaken an unconscious
sleeper. The total loss is estimated at
about $50, 000 with $4,000 insurance. The
individual losses were as follows:
Jonas, ETlanger & Davis, $4,000; John
Ratio e. Bros. $4,000; the English Wallace
company, $4,000; Frank Weymuth, saloon
and cigars, $500; Interurban Motor Elk

SAYS TARIFF ON WOOD
PULP is NECESSARY
Congressman LIttIefleld Takes Issue
with President Roosevelt on
His Plan to Reduce
Duty

PORTLAND Me, Dec. H-Congress-
man Charles e. Littleheld, in speech
last night on Forests and the Tariff or
Wood Pulp" took issue with President
Roosevelt on the presidents effort to re-
duce the tariff on wood pulp, claiming
that such action would tend to increase
rather than diminish the drain on Ameri-
can forests. He argued that the Cana
dian government would surely impose an
export duty, as agitation to that end
already had been started.
The American manufacturers of paper.
he declared. would then be forced to seek
their pulp wholly in American forests on
account of the higher price the Canadian
product would command.
Regarding the protective tariff in gen
eral Congressman Littlefield said In part;
"There will be a general revision of the
tariff in the near future, but there Will
not be, nor is there any necessity of
revision of any particular schedule at this
time That part of the country In which
you and now live will not exercise de-
termining influence in that revision. The
suggestions which will come from the
committee of ways and means will be sub
mitted TO a caucus of the Republican
members Of the house and senate.
I'm that caucus those states west of
Pennsylvania will have a majority of GO
over those states east of Pennsylvania.
When you realize what that majority of
60 means you will realize that there will
never be another tariff schedule that will
treat the industries of New England
