On Retailing Charge.—Clark Stale>, of the Julian section, was given a hearing before United States Commissioner Collins Thursday on the charge of operating a blockade still and held for the next term of United States District court in this city under a bond of »300. It is contended that lu<S blockade still de-stroyed by revenue officers near Julian a short time ago was oper-ated by Staley. Since the capture of the still the officers had been unable to locate Staley, who came to Greensboro voluntarily Thursday ant? surrendered. Staley asserts his innocsnee of tlie charge and has em-ployed Judge W. P. Bynura to de-fend him. - - Congress seems to have settled down to await developments in the-submarine controversy between the United States and Germany, with an overwhelming majority of both houses apparently very- definite)} de-termined to take no action which might embarrass the administration in the present stage of diplomatic negotiations. A few of the more ar-dent advocates of legislation to keep the Americans off armed ships con-tinued their activities, and former Secretary Bryan's support for them was shown in the form of a tele-gram, but most of them admitted there was no prospect of immediate action. It was stated authoritatively that while any agitation of the issue jtiBt now was undesirable, there was no disposition on the pert of the admin-istration to oppose a vote on the pending armed ship resolutions if their sponsors tried to force one. Reports from the capltol were said to show conclusively that both the senate and the house would stand behind President Wilson in-his re-fusal to permit any abridgement of the rights of American .itizens on the seas, as outlined in his letter to Senator Stone. The president reiterated his state-ments in that letter to Speaker Clark, Majority Leader Kitchin and Representative Flood, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, when they called at the White House Friday. Mr. Wilson said plainly that his efforts to keep the country at peace were liable to be hindered by impressions sent abroad by Con-gress, and the congressmen were equally frank in giving notice that a strong sentiment existed at the capltol against risking the possibility of war by permitting Americans to travel on armed belligerent ships L^a mtirKt HA Ihniv »ii>\iin HHIIM • '— BENT TO COUNTY ROADS FOR WHIPPING HIS SISTRR. this matter, tattle hope is entertain-ed that the president, after his letter to Senator Stone, will yield in his contention that Americans have the right to travel the seas, or in.his feeling that past American, policy would crumble if the present policy is-given rip. . A frank expression that is fre-quently uttered is that Germany, af-ter hearing of the movee>ent in Con-gress to prevent Americans from taking passage, will take courage and stand by her own declaration of warfare. In that event, congressmen ivho have favored a resolution will have cause for the same fear which prompted them to begin the agita-tion for its adoption. TMs fear was based on the interpretation that had been placed on the action which Mr. Mr. Wilson might follow, and on a repeated declaration of Ambassador Bernstorff. Note of Conservatism. A note of conservatism was evi-dent among the North Carollnamem-bers. Senator Simmons raio: "From the presidt-tn's (etler, Which I read with a great deal of in-terest, I understand that he is try-ing to brine aboi't a solution of this situation and that in his opinion he will succeed. In fiis matter I do •tot think he should be embarrassed and especially by any action that would prevent him. in his opinion, from bringing about an adjustment it the difficulty." Senator Overman said: "The inclination in tne senate is that nothing will be done to embar-rass the president or to hamper him in any way. The general feeling is that the president will work out the matter correctly. There will be no tpllt." Senator Gore's Resolutioon. The resolution introduced by Senator Gore, to warn Americans against taking passage on armed ves-sels of belligerent powers, follows: Whereas, a number of leading powers of the world are now engaged la a war of unexampled proportions. CRITICISES OUR NAVY SYSTEM ADMIRAL, WINSLOW TESTIFIES BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE AS TO WEAK POINTS. In Municipal court Thursday Judge Brown imposed a sentence of two years on the county roads on Jim Davis, a worthless white youth of 19 years, the charge being that of simple assault and the victim the young sister of the defendant. The judge took advantage of a special statute of 1913 which extended the maximum term for simple assault upon a woman from 30 days to two years. According to the evidence. Davis has been living on the earnings of his mother and sister, both of whom work in factories in the city. He was said to have whipped his sister severely when she refused to get out of bed- at a late hour at night and go on an errand for him. He wanted ice cream, it was stated, and demanded that she go to a store and buy it for him with a quarter se-cured from his mother. After the girl had been chastised to the heart's desire of her brute of a brother, she left the house and was afraid to return until police officers had arrived and placed her brother under arrest. In addition to whip-ping his sister, Davis threatened his mother and might have assaulted her also but for the tlsiely arrival of the officers. Davis is a familiar fgure in police court circles. He has been in trouble several times and only recently had finished serving a term on the roads! Death of Mrs. Sarah E. Harris. Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Harris died Friaay morning at the home of her son. Mr. R. V. Harris, at Summer-field. She was 84 years of age and the widow of the late Rev. C. F. Harris, for many years a well Known minister of the Methodist Protestant clruicu. She is survived by three daughters and four sons, who are: Mrs. Joy Harris Glascock, of Greens-boro; Mrs. W. E. Wilson and J. F. Harris, of Charlotte; W. B. Harris, of Garfield. Wash.; Mrs. H. G. Kline, of Miami, Fla., and L. P. and R. V. Harris, of Summerfield. The funeral was held at the Summerfield Metho-dist church Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, the services being conducted by Rev. T. B. Johnson, the pastor, and Rev. C. A. Cecil, of High Point. Mr. J. T. Stuart, a well known cit-izen of Friendship township, was among Saturday's callers at The Pa-triot office. whatever might be their rights under international law. While there probably will be many more conferences and possibly some speeches, the generally accept-ed opinion is that no further serious effort to bring about action will be made unless developments occur to make a rupture of relations with Germany imminent. The cabinet discussed the matter at length and one of the secretaries said afterwards that the members stood behind the president "to a man." There was no change in the diplo-matic status of the situation, and the state department still is awaiting a response from Germany to its re-quest for assurances that the an-nounced policy of sinking armed merchantmen without warning will not affect previous pledges given re-garding the conduct of submarine warfare. Interest in the senate centered chiefly on the introduction by Sena-tor Gore of his resolution to express the sense of Congress that Ameri-cans should forego their right to travel on armed belligerent vessels, and of another by Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, to de-clare the sense of the senate that no ultimatum should be sent to a for-eign power on an issue of national honor or severance of diplomatic re-lations be permitted by action of the executive without reference ot the matter to Congress. ' President Will Not Back Down. The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer sends hi* pa-per the following in regard to the situation: .The fate of the proposed resolu-tion to warn Americans from taking passage on armed merchant Teasels hangs on two conditions chiefly: Germany's attitude March 1 en the matter of sinking ships without warning and President Wilson's at-titude on the right of American cit-izens to travel on vessels which are armed defensively. This appears to be the opinion which prevails among those members of Congress who have been in favor of adopting a resolu-tion and who, out of their confidence' in Mr. Wilson, wish to allow him ample opportunity to work out this problem himself without any act by Congress that would place him and the administration in an embarrass-ing position. Hope is strong on every side that Germany will yield her right to at-tack such vessels without warning, in keeping with what the president I has interpreted aa pre-essurances on Whereas, the United States is hap-pily at peace with all of the belliger-ent nations, and Whereas, it is equally the desire and the interest of the American people to remain at peace with ali the nations, and Whereas, the president has recent-ly ofTered fresh and signal proofs of the superiority ot diplomacy to butchery as a, method of settling in-ternational disputes, and Whereas, the right of American citizens to travel on unarmed belli-gerent vessels has recently received* renewed guarantees of respect and inviolability, and. Whereas, the right of American citizens to travel on armed belliger-ent vessels rather than upon unarm-ed vessels, is essential neither to their life, liberty or safety, nor to the independence, dignity or secur-ity of the United States, and Whereas, Congress alone has been vested with the power to declare war, which involves the obligations to prevent war by all proper means con-sistent with the honor and vital in-terest of the nation, now, Therefore, be it resolved, by the senate, the house of representatives concurring, that it is the sense of the Congress, vested as it is with the sole power to declare war. that all persons owing allegiance to the United States should, in behalf of their own safety and the vital in-terest of the United States, forebear to exercise the right to travel as passengers upon any armed vessel of any belligerent power whether such vessel be armed for offensive or defensive purposes, and it is the further sense of the Congress that no passport should be issued or re-newed by the secretary of state or hy any one acting under him to be used by any person owing allegiance to the United States for purpose of travel upon any such armed vessel of a belligerent power. Entire Family Burned. Roanoke, Va., Feb. 25.—James L. Taylor, a farmer near Newport, Giles county, Va., lost his life, together with his wife, two daughters and an aunt when their home was destroyed by fire yesterday morning between 4 and 5 o'clock. Cause of the blaze is not known. The fire was discovered by a neighbor a quarter of a mile away; but when persons reached the scene the building, which was com-posed of logs and weatherboardlng, had. been reduced to ashes. Two skulls were found in the ruins, which are thought to be all that is left of the family of five. Washington, Feb. 25—The United States navy's whole system of gov-ernment and .operation, from educa-tion of officers to questions ot ship and gun construction, was sharply criticised before the house naval committee today by Rear Admiral Cameron McR. Winslow. comman-der- in-chief of the Pacific fleet. With-out radical changes, the admiral de-clared, a fully efficient fighting force comparable to the British navy could not be produced in 50 years. The witness said the system, of education at Annapolis Naval Acad-emy was wrong and urged restora-tion of the old grade of midshipmen in the fleet. Boys should enter the service at from 14 to 16 years of age, he said, spend two years in pre-liminary schooling ashore, then go to sea to acquire the "sea habit" from actual contact with things of the sea before completing their edu-cations ashore. The polytechnic education now given midsiiipmen at the academy is utterly unsuited. the admiral de-clared, to the training of men to handle ships and combinations of ships at sea. He could see no value to be gained from making all navy officers experts in higher mathema-tics, and thought constructors, en-gineers, and ordnance experts should be trained as specialists and never be called upon to command ships. From the day boys entered the academy, he said, a system of selec-tion should be applied to govern pro-motions eliminating men unfitted for the during, nerve-racking tasks that-would be theirs in war. He added that fellow officers should determine 4hese qualifications and that a plan of this sort was being worked out by the navy department. With two opposing fleets sweeping toward each other over the sea for an action to be carried out at a speed of 20 knots or more, the admiral in-sisted there would be no time i'or hesitation by any ship commander. He told of how he trained a squad-ron of four dreadnaughts he com-manded two years ago until his or-ders were carried out within six sec-onds of the time he gave them. 60 maneuvers being carried out in a single afternoon. Even this, he declared, represent-ed "only encountering progress" on | the road toward complete efficiency and application of such intensive methods to the fleet as a whole could never be accomplished until men were selected to command the ships because of fitness, not because of seniority. Asked how many flag officers in the navy he thought were capable of development to complete fitness for high command, .tlie witness said: "I don't think any of us in the upper grades have had sufficient ex-perience to work up to our highest efficiency." He added that some-thing might be accomplished if a number of captains or commanders were set aside and trained for flag officers, men best fitted to be selected for actual commands. Representative Oliver said he had gained the impression from the ad-miral's remarks that he considered himself possessed in a high degree of efficiency other officers did not possess. "I probably have had greater ex-perience with ships and combina-tions ot ships than any other officer of the navy," Admiral Winslow re-plied, "but I don't for one moment want to say that I am any better than other officers. I have realized that In order to equlpp myself for what the country paid me for, <t was necessary for me to go to -sea with ships and to study the war college game aboard." The admiral indicated he believed that while Americans were steadily improving in design it was doubtful whether they now equalled ships abroad. "I have never said," he continued, "that our fleet could not fight. It could fight. It would fight." He added that it was the whole system he attacked, believing it could never produce efficiency of the fighting forces in men or ships. DR. CL.ARJ* 'PREACHES ON THE DANCING CHRISTIAN. Rev. Dr. Melton Clark, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, yes-terday morning preached a sermon on the sin of dancing, his subject be-ing "The Dancing Christian." The sermon was prompted by the recent pronounced revival of interest in dancing in Greensboro and the num-ber of church members who have yielded to its fascination. Dr. Clark read resolutions of the Southern Presbyterian plenary court condemning dancing as worldly and he quoted passages from statements of other denominations to the same effect, showing that the churches ot Christ stand united in viewing the pastime as morally dangerous. The preachers scriptural reading was of Paul's writings on abstinence from meat and drink which, hurting not the one partaking, yet caused offense to others. He chose as his text: "Ye are the light of the world," and warned Christians that they have been called to be a "pe-culiar people" to take their stand apart, ana this call is from God. "If it is right for your daughter to dance," said Dr. Clark, "it is right for me, your pastor, to dance. What would happen if I showed up tit- the Leap Year ball which is to be given this week? Suppose I had attended the subscription dance held last week? Would the dying send for me? Would the distressed want me to come to them In the hour of trial* No. They might say, 'He may be a good fellow, but we don't want him now.' " Here are some reasons given against dancing by Dr. Clark: "The most difficult person to reach with the gospel of Jesus Christ is the boy or girl who dances. "The youth who breaks the moral laws most flagrantly, the man deep in the path of intemperance, is eas-ier to bring back to God than the one who dances. "You cannot testify for Jesus in the ballroom. .1 challenge you who are going to.the Leap Year ball to, speak there for Jesus. If you should attempt it you would either have to shut up or get out. And I'll tell you why. It's because that if the crowd listened it would break up the dance." He said that the basic reason for dancing is the lower passions of men. As proof of this, he pointed out that there is never a dance held except with a mixed assemblage. Women do not hold dancs for the sex exclu-sively; neither do men get together alone for the fascinating sport. The sermon was heard by a con-gregation that taxed the seating ca-pacity of the church. Many dancing people were present, and Dr. Clark's discourse has aroused considerable comment in the city. What effect it will have in keeping church mem-bers away from the ball room re-mains to be seen. CITY PREPARING TO BUILD ADDITIONAL SEWER LINES. The city commissioners are pre-paring to begin work on the exten-sion of Greensboro's sewerage sys-tem, for which purpose a bond issue of $75,000 has been authorised. Only a third of the bonds have been sold, the commissioners reserving the remainder until the money may be needed. It is announced that the city will do the work with convict labor, utilizing the 40 or 50 men usually under sentence from the Mu-nicipal court. By following this plan it is believed the money can be made to go much further than it tne work were done by contract. During the approaching spring and summer it is planned to con-" struct two main lines for sewerage disposal—one in the southwestern and one in the-southeastern section of the city. These two main lines and as many lateral lines as possi-ble will be constructed ind pnt Into use this year. Later more ot the bonds- will be sold and other liaes built in sections of the city now without sewerage. Mr. T. L. Neece. of Richland, Iowa., who has been spending several weeks In the county on a visit to relatives, will return home this week. . Dairy School at Brlghtwood. A dairy school will be conducted at Brlghtwood. flv* miles north of the city, Wednesday. The program Is advertised to begin promptly at 10 o'clock and continue through the day. This Is one of a series of schools being conducted from the office of dairy field work at Raleigh. In co-operation with farm demon* stration agents. . _ .v * , , -■• ■•^•n i-» 'U-J*L'^'J- U,«i&ij l^'rlir^-t- I r
