HOUSE LEADERS
AGAINST GAG RULE
Near Defeat Of Nuisance
Tax Under Procedure Re-
suits in Decision.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
House leaders have decided tenta-
lively not to try to impose another
gag rule" this session to push
through contested legislation.
The procedure yesterday, through
which the $5O1 ,991 900 nuisance" tax
measure was passed, came witldn f1Ve
votes Of being defeated.
It was q drastic rule forbidding
amendments and limiting debate to
40 minutes on a side. The vote for
the rule was 247 to lit, two-thirds
majority being required.
The leaders noted with some con-
Germ that a change of five "ayes" to
mays" would have left them one
vote short Of the 243 necessary for
the bills passage under the rule.
"I hope" commented Speaker
Byrns, that it will be unnecessary
for us to have any gag rules be-
tween now and the time we ad-
journ."
Representatives in charge Of the
administrations must legislative
program contrasted yesterdays mar
row squeak" with the ease with which
the social security and the omnibus
banking bills were put through the
House.
When those measures were up for
passage members could offer as many
amendments as they desired and de-
bate was practically unlimited, yet
the bills were passed practically with
out changes.
The nuisance tax bill, which now
must run the Senate gauntlet, woulc
extend for two years present levies
on gasoline, automobiles, furS and
other articles estimated to raise
| $501, ,991, 900 annually.

CLIPPER RETURNS
TO HONOLULU BASE
Completes Round Trip to
MidWay-Groomed for
Flight to U. S.
By the Associated Press.

HONOLULU, June l8.--Another
pioneering feat-the first flight Of q
commercial plane to and from Midway
Island-went into the log book Of the
Pan-American's Clipper today as me-
chanics groomed the huge flying boat
for the return hop to Alameda, Calf ;,
next Friday.
Greeted more like q slightly over
due ferry boat than sky trail blazer,
the Clipper swooped down out of the
afternoon sun at 4:28 pm. (9:58 pm.
Eastern standard time) yesterday and
came to rest on the waters Of Pearl
Harbor Just 10 hours and S minutes
after leaving lonely Midway Island,
1928 miles to the northwest.
AS residents of Hawaii have come
to expect, Capt. F. G. Musick an
nounced tests very successful" and
reported no unusual incidents despite
the fact 500 miles of the trip were
made flying blind" ALI curtains of
the ships cabin were drawn and one
man was on watch "just in case there
should be any other planes"
With the exception Of a Navy
squadron several weeks ago, no other
planes have ever made the trip be-
tween Midway and Honolulu.
I'VE will take of for Alameda Fri
day, weather permitting" said Capt
Musick as his crew of aerial commut-
ers prepared for another 2,4l0-mile
jaunt to California.
Capt. Musick announced, too, the
Clipper would return to Pearl Harbor
soon after flying eastward to Ala
media, but would give no definite date
Neither would he say whether the
rext westward trip will take the big
ship on to Wake Island, stopping
point between Midway and the Philip
pines on the proposed transpaciflc ali
line for which the Clipper is blazing
a trail.

President and Mrs. Roosevelt Bare
Heads in Reverence to Him
by His Grave

In a sleet storm that pelted the
barred heads of national dignitaries,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, the great lib
eral of the Supreme Court, went to
his final rest in hero's grave at
Arlington near Washington on last
Fridy, March 8th-the oath anniver-
sary of his birth.
AS soldiers raised their muskets
for final cracking military salute
and the notes of "Taps" signsled the
lowering of the body into the grave,
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
stood with heads uncovered to the
sting of sleet.
The Presidents countenance was
stern, and his eyes blinked as the
flag draped casket took into the
ground the soldier-jurist whom he
had called one of the nations first
citizens.
Chief Justice Hughes and six asso-
ciate justices also stood near to pay
tribute to their departed comrade.
Justices Brandeis and Van Devanter
were unable to attend because of
their health.
There was little outward display of
emotion at the simple funeral in All
Souls Unitarian church or at the
military burial in Arlington ceme-
terry.
From the fiower-banked pulpit back
of his casket they had heard the Rev.
DR.. Ulysses G. Pierce repeat words
of solace and encouragement spoken
by Mr.. Holmes long ago.
eve accept our destiny to work,
to fight, to die, for ideal aims" JUS

table loss, but with the contagion of
his courage; and with kind of des-
perate joy, we go back to the fight"

NINETY PERSONS KILLED

A report recently compiled in Ra.
leigh shows that January 1885 beat
January 1884 in the record of auto
mobile deths by twenty-three fatali1
ties. The record for the past month
was 90 as against Ct for the same

The record is horrible in the light

what reduced in proportion to the op-
portunities to kill.
There were 81 pedestrians killed
and Sd injuries in January. That was
high for walkers. And they had little
chance after they were struck. There
were 10 collisions that were fatal and
279 were injured. There were two
fatalities with horsedrawn vehicles
and 43 injuries. Four were killed in
a train collision and IL injured.
There was one killed by a street car
and one injured. There were 10 killed
in collision with fixed objects and 81
hurt; there were two killed on bicy-
cles and one injured; there were is
killed by speeding and II injured.
Drunken drivers caused nine deaths
and 38 injuries. Friday, Saturday and
Sunday did the greatest slaughter
and the worst hours were from 6 to
8 o'clock in the evening.
There is a perfect reason for the
slighter slaughter in January. 1t is
new license month and generally
from 100000 to 10000 fewer cars
are on the highways during those 81
days. Then Christmas has taken most
of the money and lessened the liquor
hazards. Booze did not live up to it's,
general reputation the past month.
January 1884 with 81 killings was
one-twelfth of the time that produced
986 deaths. The average monthly kill
ing ran to 80 and there is no DISPOSE
ton in the state departments to be-
come gay over the January 1885
showing.

HUGE BILL. PASSES SENATE
FOR ARMY APPROPRIATIONS
House of Representatives Gets Meas
ure; Seen as Move to Keep
up with. Competition

The U. S. Senate ended a three day
battle over ornaments Friday by vot-
ing a near record $40O, OOO, 900 for the
war department with authority to in
crease the standing army from 1,750
to 10000.
Considerably changed by the SEN
ate, the bill will go to conference with
the house. The vote on passage was
: 68 to Is.
"Assuredly our challenge is going
to invite competition of other ma
tions," warned Senator Nye, Repub-
lican of North Dakota, in assailing
the uthorized increase in the army.
eve are continuing the game of
bullying, of encouraging and of en-
ticing the thing no one here desires
to engage in.
owe are justifying this increase on
the basis of activities of other lands
which have seen fit to increase their
ernci"~ IN preparation for war. While
we are seeking to justify expendi-
lures on the basis of what others are
doing, the others are doing the very
same thing on the basis of what are
doing"
He said the army appropriation did
not represent all that the military
forces would get during the year,
adding that $4OO,OOO,OOO had been
given the army and navy during the
past two years from public works
funds.

JAMES GORDON REEVES

James Gordon Reeves, was born
February II, 1856, son of the late
Charles and Alkaline Reeves. He lived
seventy-nine years, eleven months
and twenty-one days. Mortal life
came to an end on February 8, 1885.
He was married to Rosa Coward,
November II, 1880. He joined the
church at Senter about fifty years
ago and died in the fellowship Of the
same, keeping the faith to the end.
He was hard working farmer and
trader in stock and the products Of
the farm, thereby accommodating con-
siderable wealth.
He taught his children to be indus
trious by example. Suffering much in
late years, he courageously kept on
going to almost the very end. He had
a mild, pleasant, likeable disposition
which made for him many friends,
who seemingly nursed him back to
life time or two near the end, and
thought and expressed they were 60
ing to again, but he said he had to
go this time. He leaves his wife,
Aunt Rose, Alonzo and Juda at home,

our great loss is his Eternal gain, a
happy exchange from a world of
losses, crosses, sad bereavements and
sad disappointment to a world of
Hight, peace and glory forever.
An eminent poet wrote these lines
Cali the oratory of tongue or pen,

PLANT FULGHUM OATS
FOR HAY THIS SPRING
R/Oa1

Dairy cattle fed on good hay usual
ly live longer and have fewer diges-
tive disorders than those fed sparing-
ly on ha dand heavily on grain, says
John A. Arey, extension dairyman at
State College.
Hay is natural food for cattle,
he says, and tones up the system
while providing nutrients at a lower
cost per unit than those supplied by
other feeds.
Good homegrown hay should be
made the basis of every dairy ration,
Arey recommends.
To insure an adequate supply of
hay throughout the year, he suggests
that dairymen cultivate crops which
grow both the SUNNI and the winter
months.
Year-round cropping will also re-
duce the danger of the entire years
supply being cut short by a drouth
during any one season..
Fulghum oats sown this month and
cut when the grain is in mike stage
will make good yield of high quality
hay, Arey says. This variety of oats,
sown in February, produced 2,4O
pounds of hay on an acre of land at
the upper coastal plain experiment
station near Rocky Mount.
The best results will be obtained by
seeding heavily and fertilizing liber-
ally, Arey advises. From three to
four bushels of seed and 400 pounds
of 4-8-4 fertilizer on sandy soils, or
4-12-4 on clay soils, are recommended
for each acre to be sown.
When seeded in this way, Arey
points out, the oats will yield a good
crop of high, quality hay ready to
harvest in June.

JUSTICE HOLMES BURIED
IN NATIONAL CEMETERY
TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ANSWERED AT COLLEGE

Question: How and when should
rose bushes be pruned?
Answer: There are four different
kinds of out-of-door roses and the
method and time of pruning for each
are different. For the dwarf hybric
perpetuals pruning should be done in
the early spring before growth starts
and only four Or five of the most Wig
orous canes left. These should be cut
back to a height of about three feet
The dwarf growing teas should be
pruned about the same time but not
so heavy. Climbing roses should be
cut back soon after the blooming sea-
son but the pruning should be very
sparing. Hybrid teas are pruned in
early spring when the buds are SWELL
ing all shoots shortened to stand
from four to eight inches. Extension
Circular 200 gives this and other
valuable information in the culture
of roses and may be had free by writ
ing the Agricultural Editor, State
College.
Question is the best ferti-
lizer for Irish potatoes?
Answer: For light sandy and dark
loamy soils in Estern North Carolina
1000 pounds an acre of a mixture
containing 5 percent nitrogen, per-
cent hosphoric acid, and 5 percent
potash is recommended. In the Pied
mont and Mountain sections 1000 to
1900 pounds of 5-8-6 or 5-7-5 mix
ture is best. The nitrogen is these
mixtures should be one-third organic
from cottonseed meal, dried blod, fish
scrap or high grade tankage and two
thirds inorganic from sulphate of am
monia, urea, or nitrate of sodat. A
combination of two or more inorganic
compounds gives best results.
i
Question: How long will it take to
get good Matching eggs after the
males are added to the breeding
pens?
Answer: There is some variance in
time but, in general, the eggs will be
fertile within three days. AS mar
gin of safety, however, it is best to
wait one week after the males are
penned before saving eggs for set
ting. Only young, we'll bred, and Wig
orous birds should be used in the
breeding pens.

LEES-McRAE COLLEGE
ADDS A THIRD YEAR OF
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Courses in All Phases Of Practical
Work to Benifit Residents of
Mountain Areas

Banner Elk, Feb. 28.-Lees-McRae
College will have next year a third
year of vocational training to offer
students who have completed their
junior college course, according to
the catalogue for 1856, now on the
press.
In foreword to students Leo K.
Pritchett, dean of the college, ex-
plains the third year of work as fol-
lows: "This year of preparation in
selected vocations is primarily for
those students of mountain areas who
have graduated from the Junior Col
lege and who do not wish to continue
their education at some traditional
college but wis hto prepare them
selves better in some vocation which
Lees-McRae offers in this third year.
Under this plan of study a year
means a project year and not the
academic year. You have completed
your course when you have satisfac-
torily completed your project, wheth-
er it is six months, nine months, or
eighteen months.
"You will learn by doing. You will
learn poultry by actually working
with poultry, learn woodwork by
working in the Woodshop, ETC., and
you will work and study under the
sympathetic supervision of competent
instructors.
"Some Of these vocations can be
used on the farm as monetary
crop. As an example, with the noun
tain areas rapidly developing as re
sorts, opportunities are coimng for
shops and inns or tea rooms. This
method of education may be what
you have been looking for"
Graduates of Lees-McRae who have
shown promise in their undergradu-
ate vocational work will be eligible
for the third or postgraduate year.
Fields of specialization are offered
in the various vocations. In agricul-
ture, the student will have choice of
studying General Farming, Field
Crops, Livestock Farming, Dairying,
Horticulture, or Poultry. In the Sci
ence Department, he will have a
choice of taking a general electrical
course to prepare him as general
electrician; of studying steam pow
er plant in detail, or of specializing
in some branch of chemistry. In
wrought iron, Daniel Boone will teach
General Repair Blacksmithing, Tool
Smithing and Steel Sharpening, Sheet
Metal Work, and Ornamental Iron
Work.
The woodworking department will
oner courses in Cabinet Work, Archi-
lecture, Forestry, and Landscape
Gardening. The home economics de-
partment will offer courses in Hotel
and Tea-room Management, Child
Care, and Shop Management, and
also an advanced course in General
Home Management. The Weaving de-
partment will offer courses in weav-
ing for the Gift Shop, and Weaving
as Art or for Family Use.
The new catalogue will be off the
press in three weeks and will explain
in dett.-.il the new courses for third
year students.

The modern quest for rich pla-
GERS has revealed no new Eldor-
ADDS but 1t has proven that one
or two men working by hand can
make a living wage or better. The
individual search for gold in Mon
tana has carried prospectors over
many parts of the state beginning
on the banks of the Big Horn
river near Wyoming and as far
north as Libby.
Several hundred men worked all
season in the rich placer districts
OF Gold Creek near Deer Lodge,
the scene Of John STARTS discoy-
ery of gold in Montana, and up
the creek from Bearmouth to Gar
nett. Much of the washing done
on Gold Creek and its tributary,
Pixies Peak Greek, was done by
men working in pairs driving a
drift tunnel on bed rock and haul
ing the gravel out to a sluice box
set in the creek, with wheelbaf-
rows. Two men working constantly
made as high as eleven dollars q
day during the summer. This style
of placer mining can be carried
on thru most OF the winter. AT
Bearmouth men lined the creek
for a distance of nearly five miles,
most of them averaging two dol
lars a day or better.
Tarkio, near Missoula, has been
a fertile source of course gold for
underground placer operators. One
operator displays a watch chain
consisting entirely OF gold mug
gets taken from the Emerald pla-
Ger at Tarkio over a period OF 8
months, selecting only choice mug
gets. The AZ nuggets in the chain
were valued at nearly $1,000.
The banks of the Missouri from
Trident to the Gates of the Noun
tahnA have long been placered
and have many individuals with
pick and pan at work now as well
as several large washing plants.
other important sources OF rich
placer are Unionville near Helena,
