SMALL is PRESIDENT RIVERS

Representative John H. Small of
the first district, is president of the
National Rivers and Harbors Cong
ress, which has been holding its 18TH
annual convention in Washington
The honor is regarded as meriteI
one by those who have watched the
operations of the congress, for Mr..
Small has been a potent factor in
advancing the general improvement
advocated by the organization In
waterways development and expan
sion of transportation by this means.
He is looked upon as one of the fore
most champions of the great cause
of waterways improvement, and his
associates in the matter say that the
right man for the place has been
chosen.
The manner in which he was Sc
lected was distinct compliment to
| him, for the office sought him, as he
| did not seek the office. He was itn-
portuned by numerous delegates tc
| become the head of the organization
and when he consented he was elect
ed without opposition: The nominate
/ ing committee voted for him unani
mously, and when his name was pre-
sented to the congress the nomina
/. tion was seconded by score of men

Washington Dec. 12.-While the
accepting of the proposed settlement
Of the bituminous coal strike dis
agreement, the mine operators of the
central Pennsylvania district declar-
ed in statement today thatsthe set
tlement is not settlement at all of
the principles in the controversy, and
that while it may quiet matters for a
while, further disagreement and dis
arrangement are bound 20 come.
The plan proposed for the settle
ment of the strike by DR.. Garfield
was interfered with by government
officials at the White House, who
knew little of the questions involved
in the controversy. The settlement,
the operators declare, is delivery
of the operators and the public over
to the United Mine Workers of
America.

STOCK MARKET.

New York, Dec. 12.-Pressure on
the leading issues was resumed at
the opening of the stock market to-
day, on account of the advance in
the Federal reserve interest and dis
count rates and an alarming depre-
citation in the foreign exchange that
provoked further selling for both ac-
counts There was one exception,
however, in Canadian Pacific, which
recovered small part of yesterday s
loss. The other rails averaged one
point decline, but many Of the steels,
motors, oils shippings, and miscel-
laneous specialties made declines of
2 1-2 to points within the first half
hour. The initial quotation for ex-
change on London was slightly be-
low the figures established yesterday.

HUNS DESERT THEIR FLAG.
Many Concerns Establish Accounts
Abroad to Escape Profits Tax.

Berlin, Dec 12.-'Genman capital
has deserted the flag" says the vor-
waerts in a bitter comment on the
decline in value of the German mark
Numberless cases are occurring in
which the German sellers do not al
low payment of their wares in Ger
many, but establish accounts abroad
which are exempt from taxation, de-
clares the paper. To the damage of
the German rate of exchange, con-
tinues Vorwaerts, the German beg
gar sells his rags in the world mar
ket at what prices he can get and
ignores the opportunities to get for
eign moneys into Germany and raise
the mark.
Capitalists who find tax evasion
profitable refer to the German eco
nomic crisis with shrug of theil
shoulders and lay the blame to the
government and financial politics.
The Vorwaerts states that German
leather especially has been sold il
| lorelSH countries dC prices less CHai
| in Germany and with no other objec
than to transfer the producers for
tune to a place where it will not b,

JONES A CLOSE SECOND
JONES A CLOSE SECOND

Greensboro, Dec 12.-Had Paul
Jones, Edgecombe farmer, voted for
himself in the Farmers Union con-
vention yesterday the vote between
him and r. w. H. Stone, of Guilford
county, for the presidency of the un-
ion, would have been a tie and Retir-
ing President Dr. H. O. Alexander
would have had the privilege of cast
ing the deciding vote for Mr.. Stone.
AS it was, Jones was defeated by
Stone, the vote being 81 to So. Jones
was strong for the revaluation act
and Stone is very much opposed to
it. The balloting resulted in a sur
prise to the Alexander faction. Mem
convention was overwhelming with
them. Dr.~J. M. Temp1etoq, vice
president, and E. c. Faires, secretary
and treasurer, were reelected with
out opposition. DR.. Alexander posi-
lively declined reelection as presi-
dent of the organization.

but is strongly opposed to the reval-
uation act. He has been very active
in stirring up opposition to it in this
county and in the State Farmers
Union convention, Practically all of
the convention has been given over
to consideration of this matter. The
formal resolutions against the act
were adopted yesterday, but are in
the hands of press committee who
said they were not ready for publica-
ton.
- The language in which they are
couched is not important, however
for it is known that they are Alexan
deresque and are as inf1ammatory in
| character as it is possible to make
them. All sessions of the convention
are secret Passwords and grips are
taken up and newspaper men are es
pecially obnoxious to Alexander anC
Smith. What newspaper men ge
| from the convention must come sec
ond hand.
An effort was maze to create thu
impression that resolutions agains

but it is suspected that the vote fol

ambition to have The Co-Operator,
newspaper recently established b

organ of the union received a seven
blow and the proposition was over
whelmingly rejected. This was tn
reason that the paper is believed t
have been started in the interest G
the Republican party and Smith il
tended to use it for political pun
poses. His proposition would virtu
!, ally mean to tax members of the VI
ion to support his paper.

Clifford The muddy condition Of the
water during the last few days led
Patterson to submit a sample for ex-

Clifford say, the condition Of the
water is due to the low stage Of the

amount used during the warm weather
has not permitted 1t TO clarity before

ever the condition does not mean that
the water IS impure, Clifford says.
