However, through cooperation
Of local authorities and the bu-
reau, fraudulent business schemes

ure Now in Legislature
for Enactment
Daily Dispatch Bureau.

In tue Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Feb. 25.-A bill requiring
all persons convicted of felony to re-
gister in the counties wherein they
reside is not designed to "harass' ex-
convicts who have paid their debt to
society by serving their time, repre-
sentatives of the North Carolina Sher-
ifs Association this morning told
House Judiciary Committee No. l.
On the contrary, it was contended
by Sheriff Sam Whitehurst, of Pitt
county, the bill will be of real assis-
lance to the former prison inmates
The bill would require every person
who has been convicted of felony
within the past ten years to register
at the Sher.ff's office of the county
in which he resides, and in the even
he should move into another county,
to register there within twenty-four
hours of establishing his residence.
These ex-convicts would also be re-
quired to submit to finger printing in
the county of their residence and to
give to the sheriff details of their re-
cords.
Sheriffs association officials pointed
out that registration icy felons would
protect the former prison inmates
from great deal of harassment, as
there would be no reason for enforce
ment officers to "pick up on suspi-
cion those ex-felons who are register
ed and who are known to be cooperat-
ing with the officers.

whether the applicant is entitled to
any pension, and if so, how much. For
under the law, pension payments are
to be fixed by each county board at
whatever amount it thinks the appli-
cant needs. AS result, the monthly

STATES SHIPPERS
TO SAVE $5OO,000
Utilities Commission Ex-
pected to Deny Railroad
Rate Claims
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel
BY j. G.. baskerville

Raleigh, April 8.-Shippers of the
State will be saved at least 100000
year on Interstate feright charges
if the Utilities Commission finds in
favor of it's own position and puts in
to effect within the State the same
interstate rates which have been in
effect over the country as a whole
since November, 1886. The belief here
is that the commission will decide a.
gainst the railroads, who were heard
here this week in opposition to the
order which would make the lower
rates effective, although Utilities Com
missioner Stanley Winborne has given
the attorneys for the carriers 30 days
in which to file briefs in opposition
to the proposed order.
Until 1880, the State Corporation
Commission had complete jurisdic-
ton over rates within the State and
had an interstate rate schedule con-
siderably lower than the interstate
freight rate schedule. AS a result, the
Virginia commission brought a case
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in Washington, charging that
the North Carolina intra-state rates
were discriminatory and asking that
the North Carolina rates be made to
conform with the interstate rates. The
ICC held in favor. of the Virginia
commission and the North Carolina
commission was accordingly forced to
put into effect the same freight rate
schedule within the state as the ICC
had set up for interstate business.
In 1888, however, the North Caro-
lima Utilities Commission brought it's
famous rate Discrimination case,
known as Docket No. 21665, before the
ICC, charging rank discrimination a.
gainst North Carolina by all the rail-
roads operating in the southeastern
states. This case was frankly decided
in favor of North Carolina by the ICC
in November, 1886, and was accom-
panied by an order which made de-
cided reductions in the interstate
rates.
The hearing held here this week
was on the order of the State COM
mission for the railroads to show
cause why the 1886 interstate rates
should not become the. intrastate rates
as well, and thus bring about a saw
ing of at least $500,OO0 year to the
shippers Of the State The commits
sion is expected to put the new lower
rates into effect.
