A DEMOCRATIC
CAUCUS HELD
Much Discussion But Nothing
Definite Accomplished


Raleigh. Feb. 2s.-The democratic
members of the general assembly
held a eaucws last night In response
to a resolution of the democratic
members OF the Joint committees on
congressional apportlonment to de-
wise a plan that viii insure all ten
districts being democratic. but just
how much progress was made is prob
lematicai, judging from the fact that
a discussion lasting over an hour
resulted IN the question being again
left with the democratic members Of
these committees to map out a plan
as early as possible a report to a
caucus to be held subject to call. II
may be trushfnlly stated that har-
mony prevailed in the caucus, and
that In all the views expressed there
seemed 20 be d desire 10 extend help
TO any weak democratic district. but
all such expressions were modified
by the statement that they wanted TO
leave their own districts undistnrbed.
Il was pointed ont that the eighth
was really the only district needing
more democratic strength and Repre-.
sentative burlington insisted that the
best way to provide this strength was
to transfer Union county from the
seventh 20 the eighth and Alexander
from the eighth TO the ninth. This
was opposed By Senator Lennon, Of
Union, who declared that such 0
move would jcopardize both tho
seventh and eighth from q demo
cratic viewpoint. Numbers Of reso'
lutIons and amendment swere offered
during the caucus. but none OF then
appeared to contain the relief thai
the eighth Is demanding. there beini
O string tied to each offer.

SURE TO GALL

II Reciprocity Fails President Is
Determined 10 Act
MUST VOTE ON THE TREATY
President Somewhat Alarmed Over
Outlook--Tias Been Told OF the
Plan to Amend the Pact to Death.
II They DO He viii Call Congress
in Extra Session.

Washington, Feb. 23.--Arrange.
ments are being made by the presi.
dent today to call congress together
in extra session soon after March 4
This report came from sources toe
close TO the president 10 admit OF
doubt. Word came to the white
house today that the Canadian reci-
procity was practically hopeless SO
far as this session is concerned.
At no time since the negotiations
we're completed with the Canadian
officials has the presidet felt the
alarm over the outlook for adoption
that he feels today. He was advised
during the morning that program
was framed up that would absolutely
preclude the passage OF the reciproc-
ity bill in the senate.
The plan. according to the presi-
dents information, is TO amend the
treaty to death. This plan will be
participated in by insurgent senators
led by Senator Cummins. OF Iowa.
They will, 1t is reported at the white
house, offer their amendments one
after another, and will demand time
TO speak to these amendments. there
by consuming all the time remaining
of the session.
This information came straight 10
the president early yesterday, ac-
cording 10 those who talked with
him. He at ono let 1t be known that
the warning of IN extra session was
given In good faith, and that he
would surely bring both houses oi
congress back to Washington shortly
after adjournment IL there is no vote
Somehow the presidents friends
said today, the impression had gone
abroad that the executive did moi
mean what he said a day or two age
through Representative Mccall, oi
Massachusetts, when he told the
country that congress must act on
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
or else come back in extra session
As for the fear OF a democratic
tariff revision. in the event OF an
extra session, the president will
stand squareiy in this matter upon
his veto power.
He will see TO II that no tariff
measures go through which do moi
meet his views, and he knows that
there will not be enough voices in
congress to override veto.

". D. Pace ImagIned He Owed
Large Snms d Money
Isrocding Over This He Hanged Him.
self With a PIow.Line Yesterday
Morning-Was Prosperous Farmer
OF Vance County-IIis Strange
Actions.

Because he thought that he owed
everybody In the world large sums
OF money. and nobody would let him
pay them, Mr.. w. d. Pace, a we'll
known and prosperous farmer OF near
Kittrell. Vance county, went to his
barn early yesterday morning, placed
plow-line about lis neck, tied !. 70
one OF the timbers in the roof. and
jumped of the feed cutter. His
family found him dead several hours
later.
Mr.. Pace nad been mentally un-
balanced for some tine. He believed
that be owed sums Of money to every
person whom he knew or met. He
would go about the country with q
check book. and every person that
be would NEE. he would insist on
paying certain sLm. He would 90
Frequently 10 the merchants Of Kit
trell. with whom he did business. and
insist on paying large accounts which
I he didn't owe. Nobody would take
the money and the unfortunate man
became 50 griered over the fact that
he decided TO end his existence.
Mr. Pace was a prosperous farmer,
and at the time that he was seized
with the mania had q large amount
Of money 10 the bank. All OF his bills
were paid. and he was indebted to no
one. Fortunately those whom he met
were honest enough not to take khe
money. and he suffered no loss on ne
count OF his generosity. His faniily
took him In charge. and constant
watch had to be kept upon his move
ments.
He kept insisting that he owed
numerous people large sums of money
aud that he was overwhelmed with
the enmi.y which they bore him on
account Of his inability TO settle the
claims. He attempted suicide several
tImes on this account. and his family
had 20 keep a constant watch on his
movements to keep him from ending
bis life.
Finally. early yesterday morning
be slipped out of bed. went to the
barn. tied a piow-line about HIS neck
swung Il over q rafter OF the barn and
Jumped from the feed cutter to his
death. His family did not become
aware OF lis absence from his room
until several hours later. They were
horrifed to find him dead in the barn
vith the rope around his neck.
The deceased was the father OF Mr.
e. r. Pace. OF this ely. Mr.. Pace TO.
ceiycd a message yesterday from Kit
trell announcing the death OF his
father. but no details were given. This
morning a telephone message 10 the
sun from Kittrell gave the details Of
the peculiar suicide.
The deceased Is survived by bis wife
and several children. The funeral
services we're conducted from thI
residence this afternoon at 2:3t
O'Clock.
