SUIpiuim _ Raleigh March 1.?Annmjucement 2 of "Bob" Reynolds candidacy for the J United States Senate agdtnst Sena I tor Lee S. Overman, the arguments ? for and against a survey of women ] in industry In North Carolina, the 1 sudden emergence into the limelight ? , again of the Lodgers killing at Christ J mas and a number of other matters absorbed the attention of the Capital this week. Though administration circles brought forth no outstanding news, the developments around the capital with the administration as a common center were sufficient to hold interest. K. K. Reynolds, Asheville attorney, announced for the Senate to succeed Lee Overman whose term expires this year. Reynolds frankly stated he wps soliciting votes and would do his best if elected but would take a licking with god grace if be had to. Since Overman will make a run for the of fice, it appears the major election of 'June will be contested. The Child Welfare Commission and the State Federation of Labor divided attention with Governor McLean this week in the proposed survey of work ing conditions of women in industry. jThe Governor issued and then reiter ated twice a statement, that he would not order a survey of the status of women workers until facts were pre sented to him showing that there were violations of law with respect ,to their treatment. The president of ! the State Federation of Labor asked the Governor to order a survey and alleged "exploitation of women in in dustry was at its height in North Carolina." Thq Child Welfare Com mission declared an investigation was not within its scope. At the end of the week the status of the matter was unchanged and the prospect of a sur vey appeared dim unless the Govern | or received actual facts Involving spe i cific cases on which to base an order ifor a survey. ? I "Who killed Preston Rogers?" a j question which agitated Raleigh dur " ing January may soon be answered I j or at least it again will be a question 1! uppermost in the minds of the peo ? 1 pie. The Wake county grand Jury pre *: sented to the solicitor Saturday a J presentment against three women 1 who were present when the boy was J mysteriously killed at his mothers 2 home on December 31. These three 1 women had been acquitted of guilt by 1 : the coronerajury but It is understood 11 new evidence was presented to the 2 j grand Jury on which It based its pre * ! sentment. Under the law the solici ?tor will now draw bills of Indictment 3 and present them to the grand jury 11 this week and it will be up to that ! I body to decide whether the formal 1 Indictments will be returned in which j I case the women would go to trial 3 at the term of criminal court which i opened here this week. The women ' I named are Mrs. Preston Rogers, the boy's mother; Mrs. Bonnie Baste, a beauty shop proprietor and Doll ta | Clarke, a cousin of the boy. The kill i ing took place after a "wild party" at the home, of Mrs. Rogers. Chiefs of police and sheriffs of the ! State was criticised in the report jof Deputy Warden Honeycut of State Prison made public during the week. I The deputy warden said the law re ' quired the sheriffs and chiefs of po lice to fingerprint prisoners and file fingerprints with the Prison Bureau of identification but only six had kept the law. Rex L. Parmer of Wilson and Otis W. Duke of Greensboro will not prac tice law in North Carolina. The Su preme Court barred them from prac tice after they had passed the mental examination. The ground for.barring them was that they were not of suf ficient good character for admission to the profession. The opinion was the most far reaching of its kind ever handed down for it set moral limits within which prospective attorneys musthold themselves and It has been described as an attempt to rid the le gal profession of men devoid of character and shysters by not admit ting them to practice. Charges against both men had been filed. State Fair Week will he a big home coming week this year but there will he no fair. Instead there will be a big auction sale and the fair site will be disposed of and a new site bought so that the fair can pay off 4ts debts and start in 1927 with a balance to Its credit The move also will allow Raleigh room to expand to the west ] which has been prevented by the lo cation of the fair.

The Corporation Commission issued an order during the week which is designed to remove discrimination against Eastern Carolina points in fa vor of Virginia cities in the matter of freight rates on fertilizers. An other "postponement" is noted in the Western Union hearing. Governor McLean's plans for a State radio station are said to be "almost complete" and he is now figuring with various manufacturers relative to costs of installation, etc. Mr. McLean thinks the proposed sta tion will be a big advertisement for the State in addition to the great benefit it will bring rural communi ties which connect themselves with the central station here. The State Department of Revenue and the Carolina Motor Club have decledd to' again cooperate in the is sue of license plates during the rush period this year, continuously in sev en of the larger cities and only part of the time in?thlrteen of the less im portant ones.
