Raleigh, Nov. 22.-District -Attor-
ney A. F. Aydlett will make an effort
to clear up a large portion of the
federal court docket before he turns
the job over to the newly named fed
eral attorney, Irwin B. Tucker of
Whiteville, but the Indications are
that it will be impossible to prevent
a continuance of a large majority of
the $40 cases that have piled up on
the criminal side of the federal court
docket.
The work of the eastern district
has been so heavy that it has been
impossible for the terms of federal
court allotted to Raleigh to catch up
with the docket for many months.
Many of the cases on the docket have
not been reached because the pres
ent district attorney had many old
cases on the docket when he took
charge. While disposing of these
others have piled up.

work in Wilson and move to Raleigh,
having been elevated to the position

years in this city. ST. Timothy S

Washington, Nov. 22.-Opinions
have been exchanged among the arms
delegates with such unprecedented
directness that with the conference
only ten days old experienced diplo-
mats believe they can see what 1t will
and will not be possible to accom-
plish.
Following the example of the
American delegation in bringing the
naval subject directly before the
conference the representatives of
other powers have put aside the dip

reversed the dictum of Talleyrand
that Language issgiven to diplomats

With the respective heads of the
British, japanese and American dele
cation working on the naval reduc-
ton plan there are indications that
an agreement on all but the details
is near at hand. In the same way the
readiness of all the nations to COM
NIT themselves to principles relating
ITO the far east and the Japanese to
discuss details Of that situation seem
to have erystalized, into a conviction
that the adoption of set of prin-
ciples like the four agreed upon yes

That Japan Emerging From

Berlin, Nov. 22.-Japan, although
one of Germanys foes in the World
War, continues to command an in
creasing measure Of sympathy and
interest from newspapers comnaenta-
tors writing ON the Washington con-
ference. Much of the comment is CIV
en- over in speculation as to whether
Japan can avoid being left at post
in what is termed as jockeying for a
position in the race for prestige in the
Pacific. 1t is also asked whether she
will able to escape the policy on en-
circlement' to which Germany is rep
presented as having fallen a victim.
Should Japan emerge from the con-
ference as an isolated power the edi-
torial writer's believe she will be fore
ed to seek economic and political
orientation in the direction of Russia
with terminal facilities" in Germany
A community Of interests COM
prising Teutons, Slavs, and the yell
low races is suggested as one of the
possibilities to be reckoned with in
making over the post war world.
Thus Germany cohceives a. new con-
stellation in which the Fatherland is
destined to shine brightly.
Such speculation is not confined to
the lay mind but is presented in
higher quarters where it is believed
the absence from the conference of
Germany and Russia will mean cur
tailment of Japan's land forces.

REMARKS STRUCK OUT
Mr.. Penrose Referred to the
"Black Darkness of the State

While the Senator From Ala
bama Made Uncomplimen-
tary Remarks.

Washington. Nov. 22-Disorder
marked the beginning today of senate
consideration OF the conference re-
port on the tax bill, the climax being
reached in the unusual procedure in
expunging senatorial remarks from
the record
The words stricken out were con-
tanned in a verbal clash between Sen
ators Penrose, Republican OF Penn
sylvania and Heflin Democrat OF
Alabama in which Mr.. Penrose re-
ferred to the black darkness of the
State represented by Mr. Heflin" and
Mr.. Heflin characterized Mr.. Pen
roses state as manipulated by pred
atory interest"
The clash was precipitated directly
by conversations among senators
which Mr.. Heflin claimed disturbed
him in a speech on the Ford-New-
berry senatorial contest. He asked
for order. Senator Penrose, who earl.
ier in the session, had declined to
permit Mr.. Heflin to have the floor
to continue the speech from yester-
day interjected that he was not sur
prised that senators did not care to
listen to the speech.
And / am not surprised" Mr
Heflin resumed, "At the remark from
the senator from Pennsylvania. He Is
known as the big boss of the state OF
Pennsylvania and that no senator can
come here from that state unless O
KID by him.
Again there was a demand that
, business proceed in order.
Mr. Penrose then said he had nc
desire to interrupt Mr. Heflir
"Knowing the black darkness he re
presents in his state" More senate
rules thereupon were broken. Sen
ator Cummings presiding ordered Mr.
Heflin to suspend but Mr.. Heflin de
clared no state in the union was 'st
