WALTER RUSSELL (Advertisement.) Us 4-: V' Increased Importations of Foreign Ma-- terialt to United States. Indications of remarkable activity on the part of the manufacturers of the United States are found in tne Jan uary statement of imports, just com-nleted ibv the Statistical- Division of the Bureau of Foreign "and Domestic Not only is total value of manufacturers materials unporiea in January and the 7 months ended January, greater, than in the corre sponding periods of last year, but an examination of Ihe quantities oi xuc various articles "of, this class of 'imports shows, in nearly every case, a marked increase in, teh quantity Jm: ported" when compared with the corre sponding perlocMS Oi lasi yeai.

NEW SENSE OF POWER, Why the Motoristlis Essentially One Whenever the question of unneces sary noise far: as automobile horns and other types of warning signals arei. concerned coiner up in a commun ity about' the first thing ths investiga tor discovers Is that the person who has just become a motorist is usually nclined to violate both the speed and theiribise' 't i 1 Mr. Roy F. Britton, of St Louis, in spteaking of this very matter, the other day, said: 'The man we have most trouble with is the one who has just learned to drive a motor car. He rev els in two acts-ense of possession anid asense of power.

I fairly thrills hint. to. feel that he has at bis fingers' ends' the ability to drive his machine at brfeak-neck and to make peor pie realize by. the steady blowing of his electric horn that he approach do not" think any one 'can realize temptation; who has riot driven a motor; car.

The result is that. the right- sort pf legisla tion, such" as we have here, restrict? ing the ake jprthei signal: to iabnipt' sound; sufficiently 'loud tq be heard above npise of traffic, is an aJbsoStste necessity.

Judge B. Peebles, then, with out any undue ceremony, passed sentences upon the three" young men; which was the minimum penalty, exacted in.

the case of manslaughter. He pronounced sentence in these terms; "That each of the defendants shall be imprisoned in the county jail of Orange for four months, beginning the day of April, 1913. In the meantime, each defendant shall give a bond ins the sum of $100 for his appearance before the sheriff, of Orange county, at Hills- ooro, N. to obey the order of the county commissioners, who shall vIn their discretion, hire them out to whomsoever they please in this State. The defendants are to be taxed with the costs of this action." On behalf of the defendants and their parents, Victor S.

Bryant, of Durham; 'arose and in a few words thanked the judge for the attitude which he had assumed towards the pronounced guilty' young men. Judge Peebles replied to the expres sion of thanks from the attorney of the defendants iri these words: "I hopehis will be the last case of hazing in any college or university in North Carolina. It is incomprehen sible -to me; that a brought up as these boys have been, should go to a poor Freshman's room and take him out of his room, pour blacking on him and have fun at his expense I am glad of an opportunity to show these young men that I have no inclination to be severe. I only want to make an example of this case. I understand that boy has been blacked at the university since this case began.

It A had the boys that did that here I certainly would put them on the roads." Although the conviction of man slaughter carries with it a lasting stig ma and deprives a man of citizenship, the actual, punishment meeted out to Oldham, Hatch arid Merriman by the court is exceedingly light. The payment of the costs in case and the hiring of the boys to their parents sums-up the punishment administered in its last analysis. It was positively indicated this afternoon that this will be the method of procedure approved of by the county commissioners when the appointed day comes- for hiring them out. The-fathers of the boys convicted. though weighed down with grief at the unfortunate affair at its best in that it will place an everlasting stigma on boys of once such youthful promise, gave expression to their gladness that the last chapter in the horrible tragedy was written this afternoon in the minimum penalty exacted by indict ment-, of manslaughter.

George f0d-ham, of Raleigh, father of "young Oldham, gave expression to his satisfaction of the verdict. Lr. J. Merriman, of Wilmington, burdened with deep grief, offered no rebellious -complaint and likewise Mr. Hatch is taking it as best possible.

If there is such a thing as a-happy culmination of such a direful tragedy as the death of "Bil ly" Raid and Its subsequent events, this is doubtless an illustration. The array of counsel in the trial that reached its end today engaged the best legal talent in the State. The prosecu tion was represented 4y Solicitor S- M. Gattis, of Hillsboro; E. J.

Justice and E. D. Broadhurst, pf Greensboro. The four defendants were represented by Victor S. of Durham; W.

Before the. special session of Orange county commissioners tonight, which hired out three Sophomores convicted of manslaughter the fatal hazing of Isaac W- petitions had been started for their pardon by Governor Craig. -r These did not reach the chief execu tive, the defendants coming to Raleigh on the night train and entering the vice four months minimum sen tence for manslaughter with their fath ers, Judge Peebles gave them escape through the provision to "be hired by the county These, men allowed the fathers pay: the cocts of $175 each and secured their They Jose their citizenship until restored by the courts.
