SENATE DELAYS ACTION
Conference Report on the

Not Taken Up.

Action by the Senate on the confer

was prevented today by other business
Senator Curtis will endeavor to have
it acted on tomorrow, when, it is ex-
pected. the Archibald impeachment
trial will be out of the way and there
will be more time in the upper house
for the transaction Of legislative bust
ness.
While there is delay in taking the
final action that is to make the legis-
lation law, money lenders to be af-
fected by the bill are making a fight
against it. An attorney representing
them spent several hours at the Capt.

view several senators in an effort to
prevent final action.

Several prominent members of the Cen
trail Labor Union also were around the
Senate corridors during the day. and,
while they would not admit for publica-

is understood they do not like the bill as
agreed to by the conferees. They have
been urged to accept the view taken by
the conferees-that the compromise bill is
better than no bill at all.
Friends of the measure do not antici-

HAD ORAL AGREEMENT
FOR MAINTAINING RATES
Understanding Existed Be-
tween Steamship Lines to
Montevideo, Witness Says.

Oral understanding to maintain rates,
between the Lamport G. Holt line, the
Houston line, the Prince line, the Barber
line and Weir & Body's line, carrying
commerce between New York and La
Plata. Montevideo, has existed since
January. 1912, according to testimony of
Paul W. Gerhardt, New York agent OF
the Prince line. today before the House
merchant marine committee.
His line, Mr.. Gerhardt further testified,
had another understanding with lines
doing business between New York
and South Africa. In the La Plata trade.
he declared, there were no rebates and
no division of territory.
The time was when New York agents
of the lines were permitted to make rates
on certain articles" said Mr.. Gerhardt.
Now they are made in London"
When was that change mad?" asked
Representative Humphreys.
II should say about two years ago"'
Doubts There Was Pooling.
Speaking of the South African trade,
the witness said he believed there was
no pooling, but he had no doubt 'that
the London offices saw to it that each
line got its proportion of the trade, by
regulating the trips of the respective
steamers.
Mr.. Gerhardt testified that with the
four or five largest New York export
ers to the Plata special contracts were
made by the lines and smaller export
ers when given the same rates. Repre-
sentative Alexander suggested this pre-
vented competition in rates.
Rate cutting is most unfortunate
position To he in replied Mr.. Gerhardt.
You can't run steamers unless on
paying basis. You can't do 1T on pay
ing basis except you have an under
standing against cutting rates. We have
had some bitter experiences"
Controlled by Conference"
William f.. Hahn. New York agent for
the Houston line, testified that a London
conference" controlled the New York
trade to South Africa.
Il may say L know that the freights
are pooled" he testified.
Chairman Alexander asked whether the
Houston line was in any agreement regu-
lating freight or passenger traffic be-
tween the United States and the Plata.
Rates for this trade, the witness said,
were made in New York at conferences
between representatives of the various
steamship lines, although no written
agreements were entered into.

Has Strong Hold on Dancers.

Notwithstanding the fact that turkey
trotting'' has been looked upon indul-
gently for a long time in many quarters,
i'm the hope by its opponents that 1t
would pass out of fashion as most nov
elites do, il seems to have a strong hold
on dancers and among musicians. and at
the diplomatic reception at the White
House last Friday night many of the
younger diplomats and their partners
seized the occasion TO 'trot to the
strains of waiting for the Robert r..
Lee" with the Marine Band playing II.
and the conductor apparently mighty
pleased as he watched the gay throng
before him. Those members of tho
Georgetown assembly who see no harm
in the modem dances point to the fact
that they are being participated in every
where and they are hoping that the as
semblv will decide that some of them, at
least. are all right and can be danced
without criticism.

"Lest We Forget" 'StOnewalf'
Jackson.

Fifty-two years ago atManas-
,sas he was as always, brilliant
and fearless in defense of the
hearthstones and liberties of
our Southland and under this
biting test of real fire no man
then or thereafter found aught
but the clear sheen of pure me-
tai. It was on this field that a
knightly comrade, about to die.
called him "Stonewall."
This new name represented to
Jackson's comrades, those stur-
Idy gentlemen who made up the
rank and file of the Confederate
Army, the synonym of strength
and steadiness, and was pecu-
liarly suitable to his character,
and until his death on the field OF
battle, his life stands as a clear
proof, that these gallant south
ern soldiers, themselves and
their motives unsullied, knew by
instinct the real man from the
counterfeit.
Neither cenotaph nor words
of homage can ever portray the
fiery genius and impetus valor
or the intuitive and lightning
like stroke of his attack, and ev-
on the name "Stonewall' but
family conveys an idea Of jack
sons impenetrable and immov-
able defense against odds I'M
heard of in other wars.
His marvellous campaigns are
now used by students OF strate-
gy everywhere, but his fame as
a soldier was exceeded by the
love and almost idolatrous conf
dence in the man, which was
displayed by his war-worn COM
rades. and it can be said truly OF
himself and his cause, that
none died with more honor or
more glory, though many died

Corley's Race For A Pearl.

VIM. Corley, the genial pearl
buyer of Newport, was a guest
OF hotel Rhea Friday. He is al
ways in the market for good
pearls and shells, in fact since
the button factories shut down
he is the only buyer in the mark
ct for shells.
He is storing them at Black
Rock. He pays SIS per ton for
them on the river, and they cost
him when unloaded at Black
Rock, $21 per ton. He is the
only buyer having the nerve to
put his money in shells at this
time. When it comes to pearls,
he rarely lets a good one get
by him.
Friday he bought a $500 pearl
found near the mouth of Cur
rent river, on the same day he
bought two pearls from W. w.
Waldridge found on Julia Dean
bar, for 1925 each. When a
valuable pearl is found, there is
lots of strenuosity displayed by
the pearl buyers in getting to
the pearl.
Last Thursday a large and
valuable pearl was found on Jul
liza Dean bar and at nine O'Clock
that night Mr.. Corley was tel
ephoned of the find at his home
in Newport. He caught the first
train north, came to Walnut
Ridge, then drove out to Rich
woods and by midnight he had
the pearl bought and was ready
to return to this city.
When questioned as to his a.
bility to buy pearls by lamp
light with any degree of accu-
racy, he said:
daylight, of course, is best
to determine the proper lustre
of a pearl at the same time ! am
so familiar with the business
that I can take a pearl and hold
a lighted match back Of it. and
see with a degree of accuracy
lust what it is".-Walnut Ridge

Rev. J. F. Mckenzie was the

turning from a fishing trip, h.
had eaten supper when called to
the Albright home in Chastain's
Addition. Upon his arrival
there about 8 p. M, he was told
that Albright had been drink
ing, but was not drunk and the
wife feared that her husband
might have trouble with Ca
routhers, because he had told
her Carouthers had threatened
his life. The wife was anxious
to get Albright home and while
Mr.. Mckenzie was there, a mes
sage came of the killing.
DAVIS STORY OF TRAGEDY
S. A, Davis, who manages the
Collier store, run in connection
with the bottling works and who
married Mrs. Wybrew, mother
of Mrs. Albright, was the states
most important witness and told
of the commencement of the
shooting. About 7:45 o'clock
Friday night, Albright, accord
ing to the witness, came to the
store upon his way home from
town and they talked out in
front short while. Albright
had been drinking, but was not
"out of the way" he told wit
ness of having trouble with Ca
routhers, that latter had struck
him over the head, said he had
been to Mayor Paul and told him
if he (PauD didn't chastise Ca
routhers, he (Albright) would.
After a few minutes CONVEX
sation, both witness and AL
bright entered the store room,
which is about 1924 feet in
size and on the south side of
the building, Albright was buy
ing piece of tobacco and when
witness turned, he saw Albright
make a quick move as if to run
and Cerouthers, about five feet
away, fire the first shot, not a
word being said by either. Ca
routhers fred again before Al
bright reached the door and a
| third time after Albright had
run into bottling department,
witness heard Albright say
Don't shoot me" and witness
was not sure whether one or two
more shots took place.
