the first meeting at 11 o’clock on Mon
day morning of the committee to in

houses of the General Assembly.

DAVIDSON WILD CATS BARELY
NOSE OCT LOCAL Y TEA>|
Locals W r ere Leading up to the Last
Tt4 r o Minutes of Play.
1 In one of the hardest fought and
probably the best game ever seen on
the local Y. M. C. A. floor, the David
! son College varsity quintet were just
barely able to nose out a victory over
the Y team Thursday night, the score
being 33-28. It was anybody's game
with first one leading and then the
! other, with neither a sufficient lend to
j clinch the victory until jn the last
two minutes. Staley came in as a
‘ substitute for Mallorys and with reg
j ular “nigger” luck dropped in four
baskets that won the game. The Y
team was leading with a two point
margin up to this point, and victory
seemed sure, hut with that character
istic Dividson fighting spirit, the vis
itors staged a real comeback and
launched an attack led by Laird and
Staley that could not be stopped.
Laird was the premier tosser of the
game. This sorrel-topped freshman
seemed to possess the ability to place
the hall in the basket from any place
lon the floor, as practically every ball
■he shot at the basket counted for a
goal. Crawford and Mauze also play
ed a great game. The lighting spirit
which these two men instilled into the
team was probably what won out in
the end.
Long led in the scoring for the lo
j cals with four field goals and four
fouls, tieiug Laird for scoring honors.
Wolff and Dick each got three and
Bell two. Mef’askill played a good
game at stationary guard, and broke
up the pass work of the visitors sev
eral times, spoiling their chances for
goals.

WALTER KLUTTZ WOUNDED
ON NEC K BY STRAY BULLET
Was Accidentally Struck While Walk
ing in Front of the Office of Dr. ,).
F. Reid.
Walter Kluttz. employe of the South
eastern Express Company, was acci
dentally wounded Thursday afternoon
when a stray bullet fired in the laun
dry of Henry I)er Yen struck him in
the neck, as he was walking in front
of the office of Dr. .1. F. Reid. An
drew Brice, negro, was arrested by
the police and was ebarged with the
' shooting.
According to police investigation,
Brice was in the laundry talking to
his wife, who is one of the ironers
there. Just why he fired the pistql is
not known, as he and his wife tes
tified that the shooting was acciden
tal. But immediately after the shot
was fired Brice and his wife both
ran. the woman going to her home
here and Brice to his home in Kan
napolis.
The bullet passed out of the glass
in Hie front door of the laundry,
struck a piece of wood that holds up
the laundry sign, passed through the
wood and struck Mr. Kluttz on the
neck. The wound is very painful,
hut is not believed to he serious.
Brice was arrested by the Kanuapo
lice iMilice officers. He testified that
the shooting was accidental, and that
he was just handing the pistol to his
wife when it was discharged. She
testified that she had not been quar
reling with her husband, that she did
not see the gun before she heard the
report, and that she ran from the
laundry because she was “scaired,”
“too scaired” to rememlier whether
she left by the rear or front door.
The State tried to prove that Brice
was trying to shoot his wife when he
fired the guns and used the running of
the two negroes as evidence that -ev
erything was not as rosy between the
pair ns they tried to make it appear
when they testified.
Mho Was ‘Boss’!
A country youth about to embark
on the * of matrimony asked his
father. "Who should be boss, I or ray
wife?”
The father smiled and said:
‘ “Here are one hundred hens ana a
team of horses. Hitch up the horses,
load the hens into the wagon, and
wherever you find a man and his wife
{dwelling, slop and mnkec inquiry as
I to who is the boss. Wherever you find
J a woman running things, leave a hen.
i If you come to a place where a man
lis in control give him one of the
horses.”
After seventy-nine hens had been
disposed of by ‘the youth, he came to
a house and made the usual inquire.
“I’m the boss o‘ this place,” said
the man.
So the wife was called nnd she
affirmed her husband’s assertion.
"Take whichever horse you want,”
was the youth’s reply.
So tho husband replied,'“l'll take
the bay.”
But the wife did not like the bay
horse and called her husband aside
and talked to him. He returned and
said: *
• “I believe I’ll take the gray horse.”
“Not much,” said the youth. “You
' get a hen.”
Gets Table Taft Used.
The Yaie School of Forestry, at
New Haven, Conn., has received a
valuable table from the Philippine
Islands, the gift of alumni now in the
! Philippine forest service, he table was
j used by William H. Taft when he was
governor general of the island at one
time was owned by the city of Manila.
It is nvade of Narra wood, irt aid with
Comagon wood. It measures .eighteen
by five feet.
In announcing the receipt of the
i gift recently, the Yale secretary’s of
j flee said the table would he used in
' Sage Hall, the new forestry building
notv being erected.
His Mistake.
The burglar re-appeared from the
bed-room. “Any money in his
clothes?” his pal inquired. , {
“Nothing but a d me, a few hair
pins and some tape!”

THE COffCORD TIMES
RENDS SOCIETY AT CAPITAL.
Mrs. Poindexter Accuses Cabinet
Wives of Petty Graft.”
A letter written by Mrs. Miles poin
d'xter, wife of . the Washington
senator, to a Seattle newspaper' in
which she sharply assails wives oi
the qabinet officers for a Leged petty
graft at government expanse, nas
caused a storm in official 'society
circles in Washington.
The letter also reveals that the
Poindexters and Secretary and Mrs.
Denby are decidedly at "outs.”
Mrs. Poindexter in an amazingly
frank manner complains because:
1. Wives,of cabinet officer* go (mop
ping in government limousines.
2. Mrs. Denby can give “at homes”
and have the famous Marine band
furnish music.
3. Secretary Denby took his ram
ily to the Orient last summer.
4. The war department furnishes
"good looking officers” for inac
tions given by the secretary of war.
5. The botanica* gardens fiKn.sh
Cowers for the house of Secretary
Wallace.
Mrs. PoindexUr says she ea allot
•understand why senators vote govern
ment mol or cars for cabinet officers
and then deny them to themselves.
Senators, she bslieves, need them
more than secretaries.
The Denbys were given “special
m ntion” in the letter and. according
!o society gossips, relations between
D‘*nby and Poindexter, who is acting
chairman of the senate naval attairs
committee, have jTot been very friend
ly, since the forhKr declined to make
speeches for the senator in the last
campaign. Mrs. Poindexter’s comment'
on cabinet society is interesting, be
cause ijer husband is being boomed
for secretary of the interior.
T. It. LEFT ESTATE OF $801,171.
Referee Approve* the Accounts of
Former President’s Executors.
Theodore Roosevelt left a net estate
of $801,171.68, which was distributed
to his widow and children May 81,
1922, according to a report filed with
the New York supreme court last week
by John F. Conway, referee.
The referee approves the accoun. as
submitted by the executors, and
recommends that the court disallow
the claim of Mts. Emma R. Burkett
for $69,000. (Mrs. Bufkett filed suit
against the former I’riesident’s es
tate for that sum, alleging he had in
dorsed a note to her by Charles J.
Shunson. The suit was dismissed in
the supreme court a year and a half
ago.
The lata Colonel Roosevelt’s per
sonal estate, composed chiefiy of
railroad and municipal stocks and
bonds, was $687,370.10 at the time of
bis death, January 6, 1919. Its value
increased to $7. r >2,2ir».69 by May 31,
1922.
Added to that in trust for the bene- 1
ft claries is' “Sagamore Hill,” the 79.92
acre estate at Oyster Bay, which is
valued at $180,500.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
HAS 'MUCH TO DO
Session Half Over With Many Bills
to Be Acted Upon.
Raleigh, Feb 3 (By the Associated
Press). —With the North Carolina gen
eral assembly at the half way post of
its 1!)23 session a dozen or more of
the important measures today either
were in the emDyro or committee stage
while only one—the fifteen million dol
lar highway bond hill—was on its way
to final action by the. house.
The Bowie bill to provide a railroad
for Watauga, , Ashe and Alleghany
counties the general tax measure, the
general expense bill, the. administra
tion oyster bill nnd one or two others
have not been introduced.

propriate $2,r>00,000 for encouraging
farm ownership, the Varser sinking
fund bill, the administration ship line
proposal, the. general education bill, the
drug and medicine act, the anti-mask
ing and other bills to regulate secret
orders, the Wade state-wide game law,
nnd the fight to repeal the Carollna-
Te.nnessee Power Company in Cherokee
county, were chief among those still
reposing in committees in one form dr
another.
Both houses have'passed on scores
of bills of private and public local na
ture. but continued requests for fur
ther hearings on the part of individu
als have resulted in the general com
mittees being loaded with, held-over
legislation..
Next week, according to observers,
will be replete with action on a num
ber of measures and the following week
is expected to bring more, final deci
sions on important As a re
sult. it was stated, the flood gates of
oratory and contests on the floors of
both houses will be opened in full
.force.
North Getting the Southern Unskilled
Labor.
Washington, Fe.b, I.—A noticeable
movement of unskilled negro labor from
the south to northern industrial cen
ters, which, though neither widespread
nor general, was regarded as unusual
heearse of the negro’s normal relvc
tancQ to move northward during the
winter, was announced today by—Sec
retary Davis of the labor department,
on the basis of a report by Phil H.
Brown, commissioner of conciliation.
Payrolls at a number of northern and
central western industrial points, it
was said, are being slightly swelled bv
the employment of these workers, and.
while some cities reported no increases
nnd a fc.w show small declines in the
employment of this class of labor, con
tinued migration appeared to be indi
cated.

ing, was the first person to pay in
come tax to 111 A. Dough ton, new
commissioner of revenue. Mr. Ship
man happened to walk into the reve-1
nue department’s offices a short time .
after the new commissioner had ae- 1
tually started to work, so instead-of t
taking up the matter with a clerk or.
secretary, he took first honors in in

FATHER SAVES LIFE OF GIRL 1
BY SPECTACULAR OPERATION
Surgeon Stops Girl’s Heart, Pushes It
Aside, Removes Taek From Lung.
Chicago. Feb. 2.—A letter in x a \vo
nmn's handwriting was the only elite
today to the mystery surrounding the
death of John Minalian, 21-year-old
University of Chicago freshman, who
was found today seated in a chair and
leaning over a shotgun in his room in
the Alpha Tan < >mega fraternity house.
Fraternity brothers, 25 of whom
were sleep'ng in the house, insisted
that the shooting was accidental.
Minalian, they said, had arisen early
to clean his shotgun in preparation
for a hunting trip to New Mexico on
which he was to have started tomor
row. '
Hyde Park police,, however, express
ed the. belief that young Minalian
had shot himself because of despond
ency over his health. No one in the
house heard the two shots that ended
the student's life.. This, the police
said, was due to the' fact that the
gun was placed in his mouth before
tlu» trigger was pulled.
Minahan’s death came just after the
announcement that his father, Dr.
John Minalian, a noted Wisconsin
surgeon, had saved a girl from threat
ened tuberculosis and probable death
by a spectacular operation by remnv
ing a lack from her left lung. In the
course, of the operation the surgeon
was forced to stop flu 1 girl's heart,
move it to one side, and then start it
again.

Dr. Work is Likely to Succeed jVIr. Fall.
Washington, Feb. 2. —-President Hard
ing has about completed plans for the
cabinet readjustments made necessary
by the Secretary Fall,
of the. interior department, and it was
indicated today at the White House
that a formal announcement on the
subject might he expected within a
week. <
All indications' have been that the
President's choice for the interior
portfolio is Postmaster General Work,
who in addition to being an adminis
trator of demonstrated ability, lias a
wide knowledge of the western prob
lems with which the interior depart
ment Is chiefly concerned.
It was understood also tonight that
Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana,
who retires from Congress March 4,
still was foremost among those under
consideration to succeed Dr. Work
ns postmaster general. It was pre
dicted in some quarters that his se
lection for the place would ’be an
nounced at the same time, the Presi-.
dent makes known formally the trans
fer of Dr. Work to the interior post.
Senator New was offered a place in
the cabinet which went into office,
with President Harding in 1021. and
he has been for years a close personal
friend of the President. He was de
feated last year for re-nomination as
senator.

smallest- complete distillery in exist
ence It has a capacity of perhaps a

eral days ago and was said to be in
possession of A. T. Austin, who was
arrested and placed under bond
charged with violation of certain sec
tions of the prohibition law which
forbid the possession of such out
fits.
It is charged that Austin has been
in the business of making models for
stills. The still captured sits on a
board two feet long and six inches
wide. There is everything complete
for the manufactur of whiskev. The
still itself is of about a nint capacity
and the other receptacles are smal

Meat Eating: Healthy.
You lovers of meat who delight in
an extra cut of roast beef or a juicy
steak, but hesitate because of the be
lief that meat eating is injurious to
the health, perish your fears and go to
it, says Charles J. Brand, Washing
ton, D. C„ of the Department of
Agriculture.
“Many persons,’ Brand declares,
“still hold to the belief that meat is
. not healthful. Medical science has
proved that a large number of ills
once charged against meateating are
due to infection of teeth, tonsils and
other organs.”
