Richmond, Va., Jan. 4. —The official residence of the governor of Vir ginia was transferred tonight to Me morial Hospital here, where Mrs. E. Lee Trinkle, wife of the executive, lies in a very serious condition from burns sustained this morning when she dashed through a wall of flames on the first floor of the executive mansion and. up the sairway to arouse her sleeping son on the next floor. An operation will be performed on Mrs. Trinkle tomorrow morning to re lieve her suffering from burns about the face, neck and arms and the gov ernor. deprived of his home by the fire that gutted virtually the entire lower floor of the mansion, has taken a suite of rooms in the hospital to be near his wife. Serious Bums. Mrs. Trinkle is suffering from wbat physicians describe as “first degree” burns about the face and neck and “second degree” or more serious burns on her arms. Dr. Murat Willis, of this city, will operate on her tomor row morning to relieve her suffering and in the hope of keeping the burns from leaving scars. The governor’s wife was in such great pain today and tonight that physicians confined her suffering, and have not as yet made a thorough Examination of her injuries. Boys Not Bunted. An examination this afternoon of three-year-old Billie Trinkle, whose sparkler ignited the Christmas tree iii the parlor of the mansion, and 14-year-old E. Lee Trinkle, Jr., whom his mother was trying to arouse when she was burned, showed that neither was burned, nor was the elder boy hurt when he was forced to follow his mother in leaping from his bedroom window to the ground three stories below. Mrs. Trinkle also was not hurt in the fall from the window. 1 Grand Old Mansion. Irreparable damage was done to the 114-year-old structure by the fire, which destroyed priceless paintings, antiques and other heirlooms. The building itself is not believed to be seriously damaged, but the massive columns, parquet flooring and beauti ful woodwork placed in the mansion by James Monroe when he had the structure built after the Jefferson style of architecture, either destroyed or badly damaged. Mrs. Trinkle was in the kitchen of the mansion when the alarm was spread that the building was afire. Littlie Billie in extending the Christ mas holidays had got near the big tree in the parlor with a sparkler and ignited-it and from there the flames spread rapidly through the lower floor. Clayton Setgray, a negro butler, endeavored to extinguish the burning tree when he entered the room, but finding this impossible, ran to the door to call for aid*. It was probably his call that Mrs. Trinkle heard which caused her to rush to the phone and call the fire department. Through Fire to Rescue Boy. Mrs. Trinkle, then remembered her son Lee was sleeping on the third floor, and tried to mount the back-' stairs, but found these blocked by the flames. Taking the other ap proach to the upper part of the house, she had to pass through the parlor, and it was probably in going through the flames there that she received her injuries. Mounting the front steps amid the clouds of smoke that poured through the house, she fell twice be fore reaching the ropm of her son, she said. Howard Townsend Chosen Superin tendent of Nokomis Mill.

FACTS ONLY WILL BE DEALT WITH The Good Points of the States Will Be Adver tised in Sane and Truth ful Manner. Raleig'h, Jan. 6 UP)— Major Wade H. Phillips, of Lexington, recently appointed by Governor McLean as di rector of the department of conserva tion and development, arrived in Ra leigh Monday to assume his new <lu-> ties, and today outlined what he con ceives to be the goal of the newly created department. “Ultimately to make of the de partment a storehouse of accurate and readily obtainable information concerning the natural resources of the state, and also its industrial and commercial activities of all kinds”- — thus the new director voiced his aim for the department. “The keystone” of the efforts of the department will be to “advertise the otate, but to do so with fact as the constant, basis of everything that is published,” said Major Phillips-* The department of conservation and development was ‘created by the last General Assembly, as a successor to the geological and economic survey. The bill creating the department was one of those passed at the behest of Governor McLean. Since its creation, it has been under the management of acting directors. Major Fillips’ ap pointment as director having come only a few weeks ago. Major Phillips, who is a Lexing ton attorney, and who was formerly state commander of the American Le gion, in his statement today, in which he outlined his policies, reviewed the history of the geological and economic survey, and gave credit to that or ganization for work of much value to the state. And he stated that “none of these fundamental activities (be gun by the survey) will be abated by the new department.” “The department of conservation and development,” said Major Phil lips, as it is conceived by the gover nor and established in the recent act of the General Assembly, by which it was created, is both a continuance of the old geological survey, which in on®' form and another has endured in the state for over a hundred years, and a new department ip our govern mental activities. “The old survey,” he said, review ing the work of that body, “began a purely scientific investigation to de termine the location and extent of natural resources, in the beginning largely confined to mineral deposits. Its scope was gradually enlarged to bring investigations and reports more closely in touch with industrial de velopment of all kinds. “Thus it initiated the great work that is now being done in forest fire prevention and in educating popular sentiment to realize waste of timber resources and adopt sensible measures conservation. It was a pio neer in the policy of good roads as an economic development and did a pricesless work in preparing the mind of the people to accept the progres sive system of highways which' now distinguishes North Carolina among all southern states. “Its scientific investigations and publications stimulated important ac tivities in non-metallic minerals, such as clays, and in building stones, etc. Its investigations and reports upon water resources have resulted in many valuable developments.” Turning frpm the past to the ture, Major Phillips declared that not only would none of these fundamental activities be abated by the new de partment, but that they “will, in fact, be extended and made more efficient as opportunity offers. “Rut it is planned ultimately to make of the department a storehouse of acccurate and readily obtainable information, concerning the natural resources of the state and also its industrial and commercial activities of all kinds, from manufacturers to re sorts. The principle upon whic h the work of the department will here after proceed will be that of provid ing an index to the activities of our people, however manifested.” The new director evidently feels that the advertising of the state will play a big rqle in the work of the department. On this phase of the work he commented: “The keystone of this effort will be to advertise the state, but to do so with fact as the constant basis of ev erything that is published. Over statement may be even more harmful than a failure to make known the ad vantages we possess. In state ad vertising within the scope of its ef forts, the department of conservation and development will aim at becoming an authoritative source of accurate data as to what there is in the state of material, its development, and the ] possibilities of its use.” Major Phillips implied that, while ] he had great plans for the future, it ] would take time to bring about the ■ fruition of his desires for the depart- ' xnent. And he emphasized that the i basis of the work of his department would largely lie in co-operation with other departments of the state govern- i ment. "It will be understood,” said he, ■ “that plans such as these will look < necessarily to the future. Much or- < ganization and study will be neces- < r*° them to pass. \\ hat has been said above, how ever, is a fair statement of the ends for which the department was created < 1 by the general assembly. It is a new department, but it is expected that no small part of its effective ness will consist in co-operative effort with other departments in making more generally available the resuits of tlveir specialized effort. ’ ZIONISTS BACK RABBI WISE BY VOTE OF 71 TO 1 Sentiment of Executive Body Said to Be Strongly Favorable to Dr. W’ise. New York World. Emphatic disinclination to accept the resignation of its chairman, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, was expressed last night at a long meeting of the na tional executive committee of the United Palestine Appeal fund. Tiie meeting began nt, 4 o clock in the afternoon at the Hotel Pennsyl vania, was preceded by one of the executive committee of the Zionist organization of America, and still was in session late last night without a formal vote having been taken. The Zionist organization, by a vote of 71 to 1, indorsed Dr. Wise and instructed its represenatives on the executive commmittee of the Palestine appeal to vote against acceptance of Dr. Wise’s resignatiton. The committee of the Palestine ap peal met following protests by ortho dox Jews against statements attri buted to Dr. Wise in a sermon at the Free Synagogue at Carnegie Hall on December 20th. He then was quoted as saying that Jews must accept the teachings of Jeus. He later denied this, but reiterated his belief that Jesus was a great moral teacher and that he was a man, not a myth. A few hours before the Palestine appeal met yesterday, with every in dication that it would vindicate Dr. Wise, Rabbin Samuel Schulman, in Temple Betl El on Fifth Avenue, gharged that the chairman of the Palestine appeal bad “played a double role in American Jewry.” Dr. Schul man took Dr. Wise to task after po lice protection, which proved to be unnecessary, had been called for. Last week the Union of Orthodox rabbis, at a stormy meeting at the Broadway Central Hotel, colled upon the United Palestine appeal fund to accept the resignation of Dr. Wise. Unless this was done, a resolution adopted by the rabbis set forth, Or thodox Jews would work for the cause of Zion only through other organiza tions. The Great Wealth Produced in the State. High Point Enterprise. The huge collections of the federal government in taxation of North’Car olina production continue to show the rapid development of the state. Gil liam Grissom reports 02 millions dur ing the first six months of the fiscal year. That is record-breaking, prom ising. if the rate is kept up, a total at least 18 millions higher than the previous annual record. Last year North Carolina paid into the federal treasury 166 millions. This year, Mr. Grissom believes, the total will run around 100 millions! When it is recalled that the govern ment taxes production almost solely to secure this huge amount, an un derstanding of the rapid growth of business in this state is derived. The factory output of the state dur ing the year just closed ran to three quai’ters of a billion dollars. Os course something like a third of this was from the tobacco manufacturing in dustry. the remaining industry that is taxed on the old whisky levy basis. This item accounts in large measure for the disproportion between total values tax, since North Car olina would pay immensely less to the' government if her manufactured to bacco were manufactured cotton, for instance. But North Carolina is not a one industry state. The textile produc tion equals the tobacco value, and the industry in which High Point leads, furniture making, produced during the past year 56 millions, or some 11 mil lions more than the previous year, for the making up of the great state, total. i The state is expanding its indus trialism and Tar Heels start the new year with every reason to feel that this state will share richly in the general prosperity indicated for 1925.
