kitohin Opens Tariff Debate.

Washington, April 1.-THE open
ing arguments for and against the
Canadian reciprocity bill were made
in the House Saturday in two strik
ing speeches. Claude Kitchin, Of
North Carolina, one of the leading
Democratic speakers, addressed the
House for three hours in favor of the
measure, arraigning the Republican
argument of profession for the farm
er and cnaracter1zing it as "hum-
bug"
Following him Asher Kinds, of
Maine, for sixteen years the parlla-
n1entary clerk of the House, mada
his first speech as a new member of
that body and aligned himself in op-
position to the treaty in an address
devoted to the support of protection
for the farmers of the nation. The
reciprocity treaty, he said, threatened
national prosperity in threatening to
take away from the farming commu-
mites the protection to their products
necessary to their continued prospect
ty and development.
It was a day full of interesting
debate and incident. Mr.. Kitchfn
skiIlful in repartee, drew frequent
Interruptions from the Republican
side and kept the House in a turmoil
He paced up and down the main
aisle Of the House, arraigning the
| leaders of the Republicans who have
| fought for the protective principle
paying particular attention to Rep
| resentatfVe Dalzell, of Pennsylvania
| He pictured President Taft as com
| ing to the Democrats on bende6
knees to solicit their support. The
success Of the Presidents desire fo1
reciprocity with Canada dependeo
upon the Democrats, he said.

anticipation of a battle between the
Mexican Federals and the insurrect-

The insurreetos have the utmost
confidence that they can repel any

ELECTION o.
IN RALEIGH
MUCH FEELING over The DEMO-
CRATIC PRlMARY.-MANY Ne
GROES REGISTERED
KEPT ON NBOOKS BY ANTS

Raleigh, N. c., April Saturday
was challenge day in connection with
the strenuous campaign for the mu-
nicipal primaries that took place to
day, the Democrats only being in the
contest, owing to the fact that the
Republicans will not put out a ticket.
The special stir was an effort to as
far as possible purge the registration
books from the names of negroes reg
istered as Democrats on the ground
that they should not be allowed to
vote.
The most bitter time was in the
lower Third" ward. Attorney B. c..
Beckwith appeared for the Good Gov
ernment managers and Alderman and
Candidate George B. Harden made
the fight for the other side. It was
necessary fer two policemen to stay
right on the scene to put down dis
turbances that developed every few
minutes one while. The trouble in
the Tower Third" started with an ex-
cited demonstration by Sheriff
Moore, a lifelong Republican, who de-
clare6 that he was on hand to see
that the negroes were not cheated
out of their right to vote. For a
half hour or more he made things
lively and was finally gotten away by
the police. Then there were fre-
quentequarrelg over issues as to the
right to vote, with exchange of com
pliments too pointed to admit of be-
ing printed. At opportune times the
policemen, who hovered around
would step between the belligerents
and insist on decorum.
There are estimated to be one
hundred and fifty negroes registered
to vote in the Democratic legalized
primary Leaders of both sides are
charging their opponent with encour
aging registration Of negroes and the
| contest is declared by on-lookers gen
orally to have assumed a most dis
gusting status. A dozen or more ne
groes with Democratic records in the
past had their names stricken from
the books rather than share in the
contest that is On. "Good Govern
ment'' workers claim these woult
have supported their tickets and the.
asked them to take their names of
of Democratic books because the,
propose to spare no means of pre-
vent ing the voting of other negroes
There was an effort to force th<
name of Col. J. G. L. Harris, man,
years a prominent Republican, off o
the Democratic books, where he haf
| registered it, but the judges votet
/ that it remain, as he pledges to stanc
/ by the party nominees.

in securing subscriptions to the pa

have in the past lived in the vicinity
of Wilson and will be pleased to re-

INDICTSSEvEN IN FRAUD
Officials of the Michigan-AIaska
Development Company.

AT Detroit, Mich, the govern
ment investigation into Alaskan coal
land frauds involving approximately
$4,000 acres, valued at more than $780,
100000, resulted in the issuance of an
indictment by the federal grand jury
charging seven individuals with con-
spiracy against the United States.
The defendants are w. w. McAlpine,
George w. Ross, F. d. Andrus, A. Fl.
Roehm, A. L. Holmes, M. c. LeBeau,
and J. M. Bushnell.
The foregoing are officials of COM
pany known as the Michigan-Alaska
Development company. John M. Bush
nell is a Chicago man. The others
live in Detroit.
The contention of the government is
that the defendants conspired to in
duce between 200 and 800 individuals
to become stockholders in the Mich
igan-Alaska company by making
fraudulent and fictitious locations of
certain Alaska coal lands, thereby vio-
lating the land entry laws of 1910,
which made it illegal for more than
four persons to form a company for To-
eating coal lands and taking out pat
ents on more than $40 acres"

TROOPS TO THE BORDER
President Taft Orders Mobilization on
Gigantic Scale.

At least 10000 United States sol
diers and great fleet Of warshfps-
one-quarter of the entire United States
army and a large part of the navy
will be modified within five days
along the Mexican border, mostly in
the department of Texas, and on the
coast near Galveston.
Orders for this movement, given by
the genearl staff at the direction of
President Taft, are officially explained
as preliminary to maneuvers on a 81.
gantic scale.
There was considerable mystery at
first as to the meaning of the sudden
commands, and it was supposed that
they had some bearing on the revolu-
tionary situation in Mexico. The
statements of the military authorities,
however, make no mention of such a
connection. A tour of Investigation
along the border was made within the
last few weeks by General Bliss.
In answer to charges that the United
States army is not prepared for &C
tual warfare and that it is lacking in
every essential that goes to make up
a defensive force, it is said at the war
department, the staff has ordered a
test of the whole machinery control
ling the mobile army on a scale great
er than ever before attempted in time
of peace in this country

NINETY PERISH IN FIRE
Tragedy at Moving Picture
Show in Russ a.

Ninety persons, many of whom were
children, were burned to death and for
ty others were injured in fire that
destroyed a moving picture theater at
Bologoie, Russia.
The flames started while the exhi-
bition was in progress and quickly en-
veloped the building, cutting off every
avenue of escape.
Futile attempts at rescue were made
by those who happened to be near the
exits when the fire started and by
those from the outside, but the fury
of the flames drove them back before
they could reach the shrieking victims,
who in their efforts to get out of the
building fought desperately among
themselves.
