L
Joyous Basques cheered the arrival
of three British food ships at Bilbao
today while six insurgent air raids
dumped more than SO bombs On the
besieged city.
Government and insurgent pilots
battled over the city as the cargo
boats, having run the attempted in
surgent blockade in the Bay of Bis
cay, docked with 6,1OO tons of pro-
visions for Bilbao's starving popula-
tion.
The three freighters, the Nc
Gregor, Hamsterley and Stanbrook,
defied threats from the insurgent
cruiser Almirante Cervera, and an
armed trawler, the Gallerna, to reach
Bilbao, where the normal 100000
population has been swelled to almost
100000 by refugees.
British warships protected the war

Hearings End

Washington, April 23-(APD-The
government charging violation Of
antitrust laws, went into court today
to force reorganization of the giant
Aluminium Company of America.
The action was announced by At
torney Genela al Cummings, who said
the Justice Department had filed
suit against the concern in the south
ern district of New York
Meanwhile, Senate and House
heard specific proposals for slashing
millions off the Federal budget.
Representative Taber, Republican,
New York, ranking minority mem
ber of the House Appropriations Com
mittee, introduced a resolution to cut
by ten percent all 1888 appropriations
bills still to be acted on by Congress.
Earlier Senator Byrnes, Democrat,
South Carolina, said he had found
"lots of sentiment" for a plan to re-
duce all appropriations for the COM
ing year by ten percent.
The antitrust law suit was based
on the governments charge, the JUS
tice Department said, that the COM
pany, with which the name of former
Treasury Secretary Andrew w. Mel
lon long has been associated, has es-
tablished monopoly in violation Of
antitrust laws.
Mellon was named among the in

Raleigh, April 23.-Dr. Herman G.

candidates for the presidency of the
Greater University of North Carolina

appointed the new chairman of the

vers here were convinced that Gov
ernor Hoey has already offered the
post to Baity and is now waiting for
his decision. 1T is known definitely
that the governor has conferred with
Batiy here at least twice this week.
The anti-Waynick forces are more
convinced than ever that Waynick
will not be reappointed, that either
Baity, George w. Coan, Jr., State
WPA administrator, or some one else
whose name has not been mentioned,
will be named chairman. 1t is no Sc

RV L. e., RASk kERVTLL

Raleigh, April 23.-Cutlar Moore, of
LumbertOn Robson county, was to-
day appointed chairman of the State
Board of Alcoholic Beverages Control
by Governor Clyde R. Hoey for term
of three years. F. Webb Williams, of
Elizabeth City, was appointed MEM
ber of the board for the two-year
term, and Thomas ]. Murphy, of
Greensboro, was appointed the third
member of the BOARD for the one-year
term. When these terms expire, each
member will be appointed for a term
of three years.
For several weeks it has been gen.
orally agreed in informed circles that
either Moore or Williams would be
named chairman, that whichever one
was named chairman, the other would
be named a member of the board.
Some two weeks ago this bureau re-
ported that Moore was gaining in IA
vor among those attempting to fore
cast who would be appointed, and a
gain yesterday indicated that Moore
would probably be selected over Will
liams for the Craftsmanship, but that
Williams would be selected as one of
the two members of the board. Nor
was the selection of Murphy entirely
unexpected, since it has been known
for some time that he was being given
serious consideration at least for
membership on the board, if not for
chairman.
The chairman of the board will re-
ceive a salary of $4,000 a year and
be a ful-time official. Each of the two
other members of the board will re-
ceive $25 a day and travelling expenses
when ever the board is in session. 1t
is expected that the board will have
to meet very frequently during the
first year and at least once a month
or oftener after the first year, so that
the two part-time members should be
assured of getting from $1,000 to ST.
600 year for their services.
Chairman Moore is well known
over the State both as an insurance
man and for his interest in politics.
He has been active in the Democratic
party for years, was secretary of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee for several years under Chairman

The American Federation of Labor

President William Green, of the

New York, April 23-(AP)-Select-

the market as a whole lacked swing
time recovery rhythm. Dealings were
exceptionally quiet throughout, and
prices were well jumbled near the
fourth hour. Stimulation of bright

of favorites. Brokers found most of
their customers standing on the out
