FREE COTTON RAGING.
But Will 1t Remain Permanently ON
the Free List2

Allittle tremor of delight went up
from all over the South when it was
announced that the Senate had con
sented to place cotton bagging on the
free list, thereby abolishing the tariff
of sixtenths of cent per square yard
as it exists in the present law and as
retained in the House bill.
This was made possible by the fact
that Senator Aldrich accepted the
proposition without protest, in order
to save time.
But it is too much to say that it will
remain permanently on the free list,
as it was understood at the time that
the rate paragraph would be the sub
iect of considerable discussion when
the bill comes upin conference.
So too, on the other hand, the par
agraph which imposes a tariff of
three-tenths of cent per pound on
cotton ties was accepted by the Demo
Gratis in the House, although Senator
Culberson gave definite notice that he
will make a fight later on in confer
ence to place cotton ties on the free
list.
The warm weather appears to be
getting in its work in the Senate, and
the tired, perspiring members of the
upper house show signs of growing
restive. They want to get back to the
broad verandas of their own homes.
and they are consenting to things
which otherwise they would oppose.
But unfortunately-in the case OF
cotton bagging at least-this does not
| mean that they will consent perma-
| nently, and the whole question will
have to be re-opened in conference.
If there is any one item in the tariff
schedules which should go on the free
| list it is cotton bagging. 1t is more
generally used by the class of people
who get no benefits from protection
as whole than any other item on the
| list, with few exceptions, and it is
| hoped the Democrats will make 9
manfu1 stand for retaining it on the
/ free list when the question does come
up in conference later on.

VALID vs STATE BONDS.
Question to Be Passed Upon by the
Supreme Court.

Raleigh, N. c., June 30.-Followine
lengthy session of the Council OF
State, Governor Kitchin issued to-
night a statement as to the validity
of the 100000 bond issue to the effect
that State officers have no doubt of
the legality of the act, but since the
issue is raised by the prospective
purchasers, it is thought best to have
the Supreme Court settle the matter
as soon as possible after opening the
fall session.
In the meantime the Raleigh Saw
ings Bank, which was awarded the en-
tire issue as the highest bidder, paws
$l25,OOO and remainder of the $500. 900
and premium to be paid when the va
lidity of the bonds is settled. This ad-
vance payment, it is stated, will be
returned in the event the act is not
sustained. In the meantime it will
enable the State Hospital Commission
to continue it's work of enlarging and
equipping the State institutions. The
trouble grows out OF the proviso
amendment to the first section that
did not pass three separate roll call
readings. 1t stipulates that $31 900
of the bond issue must apply to the
deficit of the Morganton and Colds
bOro hospitals.

Japan Honors Memory Of Perry.

Yokohama, July 1.-Upder auspices
of a most favorable character a two
days celebration was inaugurated
here today to mark the fiftieth ami
versary of the opening of Yokohama
to foreign trade. Popular festivities
made up the program for the open
ing day of the celebration. Tomor-
row the celebration will conclude with
the unveiling of statues of Commo-
dore M. C. Perry, of the United States
Navy, and Kamon-on-Kami, the Jap
anese prime minister, who negotiated
the first treaty of commerce between
Japan and the outside world. The
statute of Commodore Perry has been
placed in Yokohama Park, and was
modelled by B. Fujita after photo
graphs supplied by the United States
government and from pictures made
by Japanese artists while Commodore
Perry was in Yokohama. The cost OF
the memorial, including a magnifi-
cent granite pedestal, exceeded
100000.

TAFT'S TAX SCHEME.
The Income Tax is Practical
ly the Only Subject
Before Senate.
Republican Leader i'm Senate Scored
for His Position ON Corporation
Tax Scheme-CumminS
Speaks on Incomes.

Washington, d. c., June 30.-In-
come tax was practically the only
subject and Senators Cummins, of
Iowa, and Borah, of Idaho, the only
speakers before the Senate today.
Mr. Borah was not heard until to-
wards the close of the days session
when the Iowa senator yielded the
floor, which he had held since yester-
day. He took for his text the decla-
ration made yestrday by Senator AL
drich to the effect that he would vote
for the corporation tax amendment
only as means of defeating the in
come tax, and without resorting to
personalities he closed the position of
the chairman of the finance commit
tee, who had presented the corpora
ton tax amendment to the Senate.
Mr.. Cummins also paid his respects
to Mr.. Aldrich on account of his avow-
al of yesterday.
Mr.. Cummins took the floor as soon
as a quorum could be obtained after
the meeting of the Senate at ten
o'clock, and with brief intermission
for luncheon, which was an innova-
tion in the Senate, he held it until
4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. This
task was naturally arduous, but with
an improved temperature, and because
of Mr.. Cummins' easy delivery, the
experience was not so trying as it
might have been for another under
different circumstances.
Much of the time today was de-
voted to the consideration OF the ma
tion's finances, but considerable at
tention was also given to the general
merits of a tax on incomes, which
Mr.. Cummins defended as the most
rational, because the most just, of all
taxes. Estimating the total revenues
under the Aldrich-Payne bill at $780,
OO0, 900 and those to be derived from
the internal revenue at $24O,OO0,000 he
predicted that at the end of the fiscal
year 19100 there would be deficit of
not less than $175, 100000. He there
fore considered that the amendment
OF the tariff bill by the addition Of an
income tax was necessary in order to
produce sufficient revenue for the con-
duct of tn business of the government.
Mr.. Cummins said that il the
finance committees resolution having
for the submission to the states of a
constitutional amendment for an in
come tax should be presented to the
Senate he would vote for it, but not
with any hope of it's success. He did
not doubt that there would be enough
interest manifested against it to OBJ
tain adverse votes in sufficient num-
Der OF states to defeat the PROPOSE
ton.

FOURTH OF JULY.
Precaution Should Prevail Against
Explosive Accidents

In the North and West, also in the
South, but to a more limited extent
the fourth of July is celebrated with
the help of explosives and noise-mak-
ing devices of various kinds. AS a
result there are scores OF fatalities
and thousands of minor accidents.
The near approach of the fourth,
which falls on next Sunday and will
be celebrated the following day,
makes some observations on the meth
cd of celebrating it pertinent. There
is no reason why any lives should be
sacrificed or any serious injuries re-
ceived. The heedlessness of children
and the carelessness of their elders
are the chief causes. The city of
Cleveland, o., stirred by the casual
ties in the past, has adopted this ordi-
nance:
shall within the city sell, offer for
sale, or have in his possession or Gus
tody any toy pistol, squib, rocket,
cracker or roman candle or fire bal
loon or other combustible fireworks
or any article for the making of pyro-
technic display, provided that nothing
in this section shall be so construed
as to prohibit the board of public ser
vice from giving pyrotechnical dis
plays in the public parks whenever
such board is thereunto directed by
resolution of the council
The city of Spokane, WASH, has this
law on the books, and it is said to be
enforced:
mo person shall fire any cannon,
gun, rifle, pistol, toy pistol or firearm
of any kind, or fire or explode any
squib, rocket, cracker or Roman can
die or other combustible fireworks, or
make use of any sling within the
city"
Chicago issues only one license for
the sale of fireworks and only to1
adults, but provides every facility for
splendid displays of pyrotechnics in
the parks.
Statistics show that last fourth of
July 163 persons we're killed and 1923
while celebrating with fire
works and otherwise.

SIN SHOWED FEAR
6inaman Who Told Of The
SigeI Murder Put to
the Test.
He Trembled and His Voice Broke
When Shown Expressmen WIN
Moved Dead Girrs Body. ;
Failed to Recognize.

New York, June 3O.-The compIa-
cency of Chung Sin, once the room
mate of Leon Ling, who is wanted for
the murder of Elsie Sigel on June 8,
went all to pieces this afternoon when
Arthur Logan, an expressman, walked
into the cell where Chung Sin is held
as more than a material witness and
brusquely shouted, "Hulloi"
Logan is the man who carried the
trunk containing the body of the girl
downstairs from Icons room on the
day OF the murder He has told the
police that Chung Sin is one of the
men he saw on the top floor of the
house. Chung, on the contrary. has
sworn by all his ancestors that he
never saw the trunk packed or moved.
You are the man." Logan said in
Chung Sins presence today, "who told
me to take the trunk downstairs care
fully. There was another slim fellow
with you in the room-the same that
came over to the office half an hour
before to give me the order to call for
the trunk
All mistake" protested Chung;
never see you before The China
mans voice broke and he shook as if
in fear as Logan was led out, still
positive in his Identification.
Chung was not kept waiting long
before he had another visitor-this
time Martin Luria, the chauffeur who
drove a Chinaman and a trunk from
the Harlem laundry to a chop-suey
restaurant in Newark on the morning
of June 10. The police had theory
that Chung Sin might have paid the
fare and not Leon Ling. But Luria
could not identify Chung Sin and still
believes that it was Leon he had in
his taxicab. A letter from Chung Sin
written since his arrest to the Society
of the Four Brothers, was intercepted
and translated to the district attor-
ney's office. 1t protests that the mur-
der was done by one man, and, there
fore, the murderer only should be
held; denounces the authorities and
implores aid of all members in free
ing him.
The police believe more and more
that little reliance can be placed in
the various rewards and offers of CO.
operation promised by the clans of
Chinatown, and accordingly District
Attorney Jerome today wrote John
Endicott Gardner, professor of Orien-
tai language and literature in the Uni
versity of the Pacific at San Jose, Cal,
requesting his cooperation in the
ase as a trustworthy interpreter.

A MERRY GO ROUND.
Wilson Went to Defeat Yes.
tcfday and Went Wild
Besides.
An Unusual Kick Against the Umpire
and a Great Injustice Done to
Him and Through Him to
the League.

From Thursdays Daily.
In one of the prettiest games of ball

Giants did-up Wilson's Tohacconists
yesterday by a score of to 0, seven
| innings, called then on account OF
rain.
Wilson was outplayed at every
point, and the visitors took their de-
cided defeat hard and in ugly spirit,
and in disgusting conduct on the part
of their manager, Mr., Holt. His con-
duct and language were most repre-
hensible. and his subsequent charge
that the umpire, Mr.. Accorsini, had
sold the game was gratuitous insult
to Goldsboro, for we play the game in
honor and our team takes defeat as
they do victory, as the game goes,
without questioning the integrity of
the umpire.
That Mr.. Accorsini has been dis
charged by President Washington
upon the demand of Wilson's team
manager is a great injustice to the
league and if there be no remedy for
such emergency then remedy
should be provided, or else let Will
sons team manager say what the re-
suit of the games his team plays in
shall be in advance, and do away
with the umpire altogether when Will
son plays ball. Mr.. AccorsinPs deci-
sions yesterday were eminently fair
and non-partial, while the muffing of

STATE BAR ASSOCIATION MEETS
Address of Welcome by ]. C. Martin,
and Response by Judge Winston.

Asheville, N c., June 30.-Lawyers,
judges and politicians from all parts
o. ti,e State haze fiocFed to Ashey;.le
for tie eleveu.n annual meeting Of
the North Carolina Far Association,
which convened at the Battery Park
Hotel tonight. Along with them have
come many ladies, and it was a fine
assemblage that greeted the speakers
at the opening session. The conven-
ton was called to order by Thomas
w. Davis, of Wilmington, in the alb
sence of Judge T. B. WOmack, of Raj
eigh, chairman of the executive COM
mittee.
The address of welcome on behalf
of the Asheville Bar Association and
the city was delivered by Julius G.
Martin In welcoming them he said
he hoped that they had not come to
Asheville to stay, for there were now
eighty-odd lawyers here, but they
were glad to have them eat and drink
if they could find it as long as they
desired. He spoke of the objects of
the association and wished that
speedier enforcement of the law
could be brought about. The response
was made by Robert w. Winston, of
Raleigh, who spoke in the absence of
A. B. Andrews, Jr., of Raleigh. Judge
Winston responded in a happy vein
for law in North Carolina. In speak
ing of the bravery of lawyers in stand
ing up for their views in spite of adj
verse criticism, he mentioned the po-
sition of Judge H. G. Connor, who in
1883 was discredited on account of
had now been selected as judge of the
United States District Court. To the
new members he prescribed only one
woodwork. He hoped they would
become Investigators, fearless and in
dependent, and in that way benefit the
p1 1ofession in this State.
The president, L. H. Clement, of
Salisbury was then escorted to the
thair and delivered his address, TAX
ing as his general theme the lawyer
and his relation to his clients and the
court Mr.. Clement delivered an able
and thoughtful address. He spoke of
the lawyer in relation to his clients
and what acts were legitimate and
what not and then discussed fully the
statutes in regard to disbarment of
lawyers. He suggested that the stat
utes be changed in certain instances
as the remedy was not at present full |
enough to give the judge full power
in cases where disbarment was neces-
sary. In tracing the relation of the
court and the attorney to each other,
he said that the attorney was an Off
Ger of the court and his business was
the enforcement of the laws in con-
nectioa with the court, and not that
his work was q separate business
from the courts. If lawyers kept this
relation in mind, then much displeas-
ure between them and the court could
be avoided and the ends of justice
more speedily met

Eere to Speak to the Farmers

AS before announced in The Argus
there is to be great meeting of farm
ers from all sections of Wayne county
at the Court House in this city next
Monday, July 5, opening at eleven
o'clock for the purpose of discussing
in common the county's most general
and crying need-the need for better
county roads.
This is an age of good road building
in the country, with the county as the
unit of progressive action, and that
county that is not interested and ac-
tive in the work is not alive to it's
best interests, and it's citizens are not
getting out Of life, for themselves and
their children what this age of devel-
opment and progress holds for them.
1t is to be hoped that every farmer
in Wayne county will be in attendance
at next Mondays good roads meeting
here; for not only will they be thus
brought together in conference, but
they will have the opportunity of
hearing a United States government
good roads expert speak on the sub
ject, and give instruction as to what
manner of road is best for this section
of the State and how to expeditiously
build them.
Every farmer is cordially invited
and every farmer is expected.

In view of the apparent determine
