A statement by Guy M.

Freer, president of the traffic league, said shippers realize unless the railroads are given 1 "reasonable return on the investment and on the money required to give the shippers additional facilities" the shippers suffer as much as the railroad owners. This was accompanied by a statement from Mr. Warfield saying: "The interest of the shippers and the security owners are largely identical."

For That CHILLY Keeling. Take Grove's Tasteless CHILL Tonlo.

It Warms the Body by Purifying and iGnrichlng the Blood You an soon I late Bernice and Bunyan Smith, who recently were shot and -killed by U. S. Page, Mount Olive's pluteky little chief of police, scored a point today in their efforts to have Officer Page "prose cuted when through their attorneys they were successful in having the case reopened in Goldsboro this afternoon before Judge W. R. Allen Who last nlCht issued a bench warrant for Chief Page following a consultation with the prosecuting attorneys.

This action followed an effort made in Mt. Olive yesterday by relatives of the dead men to the case reopened by Justice E. C. Hall, who dismissed the case. After considering both sides of the case this afternoon Judge Allen ad journed same for a hearing before the next grand Jury for Wayne county superior court and Officer Page ivae required to furnish a $10,000 bond.

mat. tne case is attracting more than passing interest in Mt. Olive was evidenced by the large number of citizens from that town Who were present at the hearing today. It Is alleged that there is a general apposition by several Mount Olive citi zens in regard to the verdict of the coroners jury who exonerated Officer Page from all blame for the killing bf the Smith 'brothers and that they are mainly responsible for any further steps being taken in the matter. How ever, it was demonstrated here today that the town of Mount Olive will back its little 90-pound chief of police to the full limit.

They have employed an array of expert attorneys to defend him for the commendable way In which, he guarded the public against the nuisance of two alleged desperate characters, who had defied arrest and bad practically' taken possesion of the town a short time before they were killed. The general opinion among people who attended the hearing today is that when the case is brought before the grand jury they will recommend that the verdict of the coroner's jury be sustained.

(By Associated Press.) The government today issued attacking Die Frieheit for Its continued denunciations qf the Ebert-Scheidemann cabinet, while at the same time attempting to act as negotiating agent for the radicals who are plotting to overthrow the government.

The proclamation accuses the newspaper not only of publishing a vicious, and distorted account of the street flght-ing and of Charging, the government troops with needless brutality, but also with engaging in double dealing and treachery in. sending its henchmen, including Iiase, Dittman, and Breitscheid to act as emissaries for the Spartacans. Theflle Haase and his friends In present conflict is still matter of conjecture. The fact that the former cabinet member and leader of the independentii has been unable to prevent his party's newspaper from publishing the Spartacans appeals and otherwise giving the insurgents active journalistic aid, is now generally interpreted as proving that the Haase cohorts are determined upon a cam paign Of ruin. The civic elements in Berlin are giv ing Gustavo Noske, who has charge of the government's defensive measures, their active support and the governmental recruiting officers are busy signing up volunteers.

10. cnarles F. Dann, a negro banker, has asked for appoint ment to one of a number of unfilled magistracies here. He would be the only officeholder of his race in the state, so far as local politicians know. They consider his quest vain, but admire the manner in which he goes af ter the trivial honor.

"In order that no one will be de-seived," he states that he is a "full-blooded negri-A-no a colored man, as colored is aiiy shn.de between white and black." He eites his white acquaintances to his long residence here and his fcareer in business. He recalls that he was a magistrate for six years in a period when such a thing was not out of the ordinary, and that 'when tedious matters came before him which he felt incompetent to try he would transfer them to abler justices. He does not remember a single case being sworn from before him. NO EARLY SETTLEMENT OF NEW YORK STRIKE from Pasre One.)

ALL ITALY'S CLAIMS NOT ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT He is Understood to Have Informed Premier Orlando the Extent of His Support. Paris, Jan. 10.

(By the Associated Press.) President Wilson, it 1s said, has virtually made up his mind how far he will support Italy's claims at the peace table and informed Premier Orlando of his decision, but that it is probable his ideas will not be made known publicily until the peace delegates have been advised of them. It is asserted by persons close to the president that he favors only partial endorsement of Italy's ambitions. The expectation has been expressed that President Wilson is agreeable to meeting the principal featur of Italy's claim to territory undeniably Italian and essential to safeguard for sovereignty and at the same time to recognize the territorial aspirations of the Jugo-Slavs. It is anticipated that the president's leanings infavor of Italy do not go so far as to warrant the suggestion that he is in favor of giving Italy control. Of the Adriatic, but that by a project of internationalization he is willing to satisfy the Italians that there will be no military threat to the east of them, according to persons supposed to be well informed on the suject.

The president is raid to realize that the Italians are depending almost solely on the United States for. support, hut that he has felt from the first that he not endorse their claims in full, though he is said to entertain the warmest sympathy for Italy.

Effective January 20 the present zoning arrangement for the distribution of sugar will end and refiners in the north arid east will be allowed to ship standard granulated sugar into any territory.

The arrangement which has prevailed for the past several weeks whereby North Carolina dealers have been compelled to secure their sugar from Louisiana has been a source of considerable worry to the dealers inasmuch as Louisiana sugars are not as acceptable to the trade as the standard granulated sugars.

The new Cuban crop of sugar has begun to move and this accounts for the rescinding of the" zoning arrangements. DR. B. D. GAW, DURHAM PASTOR, IS VICTIM OF INFLUENZA Durham, Jan.
