President WithhoIds
I'd Reorganization
Plan for More Study
Proposal Not to Be Sent
To Congress Before
Wednesday

President Roosevelt will not have
his second plan for Government re-
organization ready to transmit to
Congress before Wednesday, 1t was
said at the White House today.
1t was explained that the Presi-
dent has not yet completed his study
Of the subject but that he is devot-
ing much of his time to it.
He had another conference today
with his reorganization advisers fol-
lowing his customary Monday
morning conference with the Senate
and House leaders. In the group of
reorganization advisers were Her.
bert Smith, the new director of the
budget; Louis Brownlow, who has
been a member of the Presidents
Reorganization Committee for
nearly two years, and Newman
Townsend of the Department of
Justice.
The second reorganization plan
Is due to be interdepartmental in it's
scope and would affect principally
the Commerce and Interior Depart
ments. The understanding is that
the Interior Department is to take
over the supervision of the Bureau
OF Fisheries. the Bureau of Light
houses and the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, which are now in the De-
partment of Commerce. It is un-
derstood also that the Biological
Survey will be transferred from the
Department Of Agriculture to the
Interior Department.
President Roosevelt realizes that
time will play an important part in
getting through his complete reor-
ganization plan. The Reorganiza-
ton Act requires that the Presidents
reorganizations of the Government
must be before Congress so days be-
fore they can become effective unless
it be vetoed by both Houses in the
meantime.
The President returned to the
White House this morning after
spending yesterday and last night
aboard the presidential yacht Po-
tomac. For companions on this
cruise down the river, the President
had with him Supreme Court Justice
William o. Douglas, former head of
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission, and Harry l.. Hopkins, Sec
retary of Commerce.
Before luncheon, the President
conferred with Thomas Watson of
New York. head of the International
Business Machines Cos who has just
returned from European trip.

Beck Says|ckes
Challenges Ross
Power Policies
Ousted Engineer Of
Bonneville Dam
Defends Interview
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Greg, May 8.-R. w.
Beck, who said he was discharged
from the Bonneville Dam project by
Secretary Ickes, declared today the
Interior Department executive was
challenging the power policies of the
late Bonneville administrator, J. D.
Ross, "a thing he did not dare to do,
nor was he big enough to do, while
Mr.. Ross was alive"
Mr.. Beck, former chief electrical
engineer for the huge Columbia
River project, issued statement
on his discharge.
The engineer said Mr.. Ickes accused
him, in an interchange Of kilograms,
with insubordination for giving a
newspaper interview in which a pre-
viously unpublished letter from Mr..
Ross was included.
The letter outlined Mr.. Ross de-
termination to use full negotiations
before resorting to condemnation
proceedings to get certain private
utilities companies now operating in
the Pacific Northwest for public utlll-
ties districts for the Government, Mr.
Beck said.
Prior to Mr.. Ickes' rebuke for the
interview, Mr.. Beck asserted he gave
many similar stories on the subject,
which was "a matter of fixed policy,
both with Mr.. Ross and the Bonne-
vile project, until his death"
The real issue involved is whether
or not Mr. Ickes and the new Bon
neville are going to carry forward the
power policies of the late administra-
ton as Mr. Ickes promised to do
upon the death of Mr.. Ross" Mr..
Beck's statement said.
He added that although numerous
public power districts and munich
palities wanted to acquire distribu-
ton systems and release Bonneville
power. the amount required by those
already organized would be "pitifully
small"
Mr.. Ickes explained their plan to
go to Washington to see Secretary
Ickes was unexpectedly altered
but that he and his wife probably
would go to the Capital in several
days.

KANSAS CITY, May 8.-Dr. Err
nest Fremond Title Of Evanston,

tionships," said DR.. Title. Let the
church pronounce the right Of its
employees to organize"
He pointed out, in an address be-
fore the uniting conference, that the

janitors and wide range of work.
ers in its several publishing plants.
He also advocated a pension sys-
tenn for all of these employees.
The church as an investor also
must give attention to the character
of its investments" DR.. Title said.
THE church cannot afford to have
investments in such anti-Christ
properties as slums and breweries, or
in industries in which labor is being
notoriously exploited"
Temperance Fight Urged.
The conference last night heard
Bishop Edwin H. Hughes of Wash
ington declare the church would not
abandon the cause Of temperance
because of repeal.
I'VE serve notice on the major

he said. The need for temperance
is growing. Drinking among women
has grown 10 times over. Unless we
stop this rising wave Of drunken

The travel business is the biggest
industry in the nation and North
Carolinians can realize tremendous
dividends from it if they will but
capitalize on their opportunities, j.
c. Baskervill, of the advertising dl-
vision of the State Department OF
Conservation and Development, told
the Henderson Lions Club in an ad-
dress before the members OF that
group Wednesday evening.
Tourists passing through and So
journing in the State spent an es-
timated $65, 100000 here in 1888, the
speaker said, and all indications are
the total will be measureably larger
for 1899. Mr.. Baskervill said visitors
to the State must be furnished with
comforts and conveniences in the
way of lodging, and must be provld-
ed with good food, and the people
of the State must be courteous to
them at all times il they would have
the goodwill of these outsiders and
insure their return later.
The speaker said that an actual
count by the State Highway Com
mission showed a daily average dur
ipg 1888 of 844 cars over Route l
through Henderson, and this amount
ed to 308060 cars for the year as a
Whole Allowing, an average OF three
persons to the car, this would mean
924,180 persons annually pass thro-
ugh the city north and south, and
including east and west travel as

well. Carrying the average and the
estimates still further, it is estimat-
ed. conservatively, Mr.. Baskervill
said, that each tourist spends So per
day while travelling, that would
mean $3,745, ,080 spent in the State
by these people along this route.
Mr.. Baskervill told of the methods
by which the States $125, 600 adVer-
Using fund is being spent, and of the
many thousands of letters and re-
quests for information and routlngs
in the State that are being received
from many parts of the country. He
said there was no doubt but that the
money was bringing results in a big
way, and said the sos 100000 speAt
in the State by tourists last year re-
presented an increase from $35, 5,000,-
900 the previous year., or nearly dou-
BILE. Many newspapers and magazines
of national circulation are carrying
frequent stories and illustrations
about North C2rTlina, cEd the States
beauties and It's vacation facilities
are only beginning to. be put before
the people of the country.
The speaker told of the tremendous
amount of money spent by travellers,
and said that five million Of an esti-
mated six billion dollars annually is
spent by the American people in this
way is spent in the United States.
North Carolina is getting an increas-
ing amount of the money.

Henderson's claims.
The last legislature appropriated
$25O,O0O for the hospital, to be made
available provided As percent Of the
cost can be had from the federal gov
ernment, which would make a total
of close to $500,0O0. Present State
tuberculosis sanatoriums are located
in Hoke county, at Sanatorium; and
at Black Mountain in the western
part of the State, near Asheville.
1t is agreed that the location of the
other hospitals would make it logical
for this section to receive serious
consideration for the site for the new
one.
