Faison's Maiden Speech.

Washington, D. c., May 8.-Repre-
sentative Faison, of the Third Dis
trict, made his maiden speech in the
House Saturday in advocacy of the
farmers free list bill. He showed
the great benefits that will accrue
to the farmers of the nation if this
measure that takes from the dutiable
list the articles that he uses becomes
a law. DIR. Faison made a strong
speech, and his telling points were
frequently applaude.
There was much interests in the
initial appearance of the new North
Carolina member in action on the
floor. II is no exaggeration to say
that DR.. Faison measured to every
expectation of his friends. He spoke
without notes and with as much ease
and composure as one of the old vet
Grams in debate in the House. The
new North Carolina Congressman has
an excellent voice, and is one of the
few members who can be heard dis
tinctly in all parts Of the hall of the
House, which is noted for its bad
properties of acoustics.

Fleet Watkins Sentenced

Asheville, N c., May 8.-Fleet Wat
kins, charged with the murder of
John Hill Bunting, of Wilmington at
the Gladstone Hotel, Black Mountain,
on the night of August 6, 1909, and
convicted last week Of manslaughter,
was Saturday afternoon sentenced by
Judge Webb to 18 months in the
State Prison. The defendant gave
notice of appeal and bond was fixed.
Practically the entire morning Sat-
urday was taken up with argument
by counsel on the motion of counsel
for the defendant to set aside the
verdict on the ground that one juror,
j. w. l.. Arthur, went into the juror
box prejudiced against the defend
ant and that, when challenged by the
counsel for the defendant as to
whether or not he had formed and
expressed the opinion that the de-
fendant was guilty of the crime, he
retained his seat.
Judge Webb then stated that ne
felt constrained to deny the motion
for a new trial
Judge Webb then imposed a sen
tence on Mr.. Watkins of years in
the State Prison. A few minutes
later, however, the sentence was re
duced to 18 months. Judge Webb
intimated to the defendant that he
would cut the punishment to 1 year,
if the defendant would accept the
sentence. The defendant, however
was not inclined that way, feeling
that if he was guilty he would serve
whatever time the court was inclined
to impose.

NEXT FRIDAY IN
HONOR OF KING
GEORGE
ENGLAND GETTING READY

London, May SKIING George to-
day attended the races at New Mar
ket, ending the years mourning.
This event marks the opening of
the coronation festivities.
London, May 8.-With but five days
intervening between an expectant
British public and the first of a long
line of royal entertainments and
celebrations, beginning with the Fes
tival Of Empire on May 18th, inc1ud
ing the Coronation on the 22nd of
June, and closing with King Georges
presence at the laying of the corner
stone of the Welsh National Library
at Aberstwyth, July 10Th, all England
is busy donning the gala attire with
which it will greet the hundreds of
thousands of spectators, among whom
will be numbered the crowned heads
of Europe, their retinues, and delega-
tions from every nation of the world,
besides thronghs of wealthy sight
seers. who are even now flecking into
London by every boat and train.
Judging by the elaborate prepara-
tions and the earnest assurances of
those in charge of the festivities,
the coming pageants will eclipse any.
thing attempted in modern times and
vie with the festivals of the ancients
in splendor, cost and attendance.
For months and months thousands
of British subjects have been at work
preparing for the great events at an
expenditure of many millions of dol
lars. London is to be decorated as
it never was before. There are to
be parades, receptions at the royal
court, horse shows, friendly contests
between the military of visiting ma
tons, entertainments by the elite of
England, and decorations that will
astound the visitors by the lavish
magnificence.
Despite the fact that the Coronation
is to be the piece de resistance in
this long list of events-there are
very, very few who will witness the
actual ceremony. This no doubt will
prove keen disappointment to many
who have been led to understand that
the actual ceremony of crowning the
King and Queen will be open to all
who have the price. Such is not the
case-the coronation proper will take
place within the sacred precincts OF
Westminster Abbey, with only mem
bers of the royal family of England
and invited guests from among the
crowned heads of Europe as specta-
tors. A seat within the great ca
thedral cannot be bought for love or
money.
The plebian visitor need not be dis
appointed, however, for he will have
many opportunities to crafty his
curiosity relative to this country new
sovereigns. Five times during May
and June their Majesties will drive
through the streets of London that
all who have money for the price OF
seats of vantage may see the eminent
personages.

j. S. NOT To-
INTERVENE
NO TRUTH IN STORIES THAT
GEN. WOOD PREDICTED INTER.
TY OF AMERICA SENDING ARMY
IN MEXICO.

Washington, May S.-Stories print
ed to the effect that General Leon
ard Wood, chief of staff of the army,
at an informal gathering of members
of the House Committee on Military
Affairs on Thursday, expressed the
opinion that Intervention in Mexico
was inevitable and that it would take
100000 American troops to patrol the
troubled republic, brocght no little
chagrin to administration circles.
Official details we're put out from a
number of sources and care was
taken to express anew the administra-
tion's position that intervention is a
most remote possibility. One of the
Presidents callers went so far as to
quote the President as saying that
blood would have to be so deep in
Mexico that man could wade
through it," before the American
army would cross the borderr.
General Wood himself and Secre-
tary of War Dickinson were particu-
larly bitter in denouncing the cir
culation of stories of Intervention at
this time, declaring that they consid-
erred them calculated to work infinite
mischief, to endanger the lives Of Am
ericans in Mexico by inf1aming the
natives to murderous assaults and
even to plunge the two countries into
war. sIt is like poisoning a well,
said General Wood Secretary Dick
inson was even more emphatic
through all of the conflicting reports
as to the American attitude there
stood out the fact that Intervention
in Mexico can come only through the
act of Congress.
President Taft, conscious of the
constitutional restrictions as to in
vading foreign country and thereby
committing an act Of war, has time
and again made the declaration that
Congress if the time should ever
come for Intervention by this coun
| try and that the possibility for ac
ton would be placed squarely up to
| the Congress.
Congress leaders, it can be stated
are of the same opinion as the Presi
dent as to Intervention and matters
in Mexico would have to reach al
| extremely desperate stage before Am
erican troops were ordered across the
line. The fight is Mexico's and the
United States proposes to keep hands
off unless unwarrapted outrages
shocld be perpetrated against Ameri
can and other foreign interests.
