WISHART DENIES THAT HE OPERATED Charlotte Physician Gpes On The Stand In Illegal Operation Case. Charlotte, June 15.—Spending most of the day on the witness stand in Mecklenburg superior court today, defending himself against a charge of performing an illegal operation upon Miss Margaret Carpenter, of near Hickory, Dr. W. E. Wishart, of this city, late this afternoon at ad journment of court for the day con tinued to maintain that he did not j operate on the girl and did not take j any money for a prescription that he ! gave her to settle her stomach. J. Marion Smith, also of The city, 4 co-defendant with Dr. Wishart, ad- j mitted, according to the physician, | that he did the operation In a room j in the Central Hotel here, and attor- | neys for Smith sharply examined Dr. j Wishart in ail effort to break down j that testimony. Judge James Webb held court late 1 in an effort to get along with the j case, which has been in progress since i Monday morning. The judge ordered ; all the negro women spectators out I of the court room and said all ladies j would take themselves out. Practical- ! ly all the women tlieu left the room, j With charges nol prosed against ! Roy Davis, Charlotte man, and Oar- i once Heayner. of Hickory, and with j Davis turning State’s evidence, Wis- ; hart and Smith have until today main- ! taiiied a common front until the time J entne when, in defense of themselves it was necessary to light single-hand- [ ed In that way came about Dr. Wis- J hart's statement that. Smith had come tn hi< office and admitted that he and Davis did the work that produced an ! abortion. ’' The defense of Wishart. as he ex- ; plained on two trips 'to the stand . today in which he was severely grill- i is that he was sent for by the girl, while she was in the hotel; that he didn’t know her and would uot have anything to do with her; that he did give her a sedative to quiet her stomach, and that he did not j know anything of $l5O mentioned as ! compensation for the operation. Dr. j James Davis, of the Davis hospital j in Statesville, where Miss Carpenter went after leaving here, and where she was ill for some time, testified that the operation was an unskillful one. Dr. Wishart is defendant in a I $40,000 civil suit brought by the girl in Catawba Superior Court. AY. F. Fuglemen, money broker of Hickory, and Dr. Charles Hunsueker, of Hick ory. are co-defendants in this suit and the present criminal action is being strongly fought in an effort to destroy the civil suit. Efforts to impeach the testimony of Miss Car penter are being made, and her reputa tion was attacked today. IT PAYS TO USE PENNY ADS HH .vi • ■: mm, : SB * ' ; :' r HR i» ...

SUICIDE EPIDEMIC Bishop of London Working to Stop Gambling. ~~ London, June 10.—Six suicides on {the Riviera in as many days, all of j them believed to have been caused I by heavy gambling losses* have made this season one of the most tragic since the war. In one week in March three men blew ont their brains in the public salon at the Casino m Monte Carlo when their “system” failed. According to the statement of an Englishman, who says that he wit nessed the tragedy, an Italian one night this week, unnerved by a suc cession of heavy losses, pulled out a revolver while sitting at the table in a private gambling room In the I Casino and shot himself through the j head. Attendants, it is said, quickly j removed the man from the room j through a sliding panel in the wall. In the Tast frays of May there j were five suicides in four days on the Riviera— foreigners and j two local residents. The ’fofeignets j had taken the. greatest precautions, )to conceal their identity. An eidor jly Russian woman threw herself j out. of a window, a man threw him- J self from a building formerly used as | a lighthouse and was dashed to I pieces on the rocks below. Another 'blew out his brains at Cap Martin, ; and a woman jumped into the sea iat Nice. i j The bank has scored heavily this j season despite some big sensational | wins of individuals, but more often ! syndicates. I * ... | An influential body of men m j England, including the Bishop of I London, are working to obtain action, :by the League of Nations to put a J stop to gambling on the Riviera. I Tht« year's suicide epidemic and the j many stories of men and women j ruined at the tables since the autumn have given impetus to the agitation to put the gambling resorts out of 1 action. j For the year ending March ~3l i : Monte Carlo Casino won $7,250. j from the public, chiefly in * roulette, * trente-et-quarante and- chemin do fer. The total receipts were , $8,042,000, which, included $450,600 in entrance i fees and SIOO,OOO from the tobacco J monopoly. The shareholders received I $2,660,000 in dividends of 175 per | cent. The $25.00 shares are today i quoted at approximately s(‘>oo. The j majority shares, it is understood, are now held by the Blanc family, ! which includes the Radziwills and I Bonapartes. A few shares- arc held by the Monaco religious authorities, j to whom they have been willed. Apart front the winnings of the bank and the numerous suicides' there was an addpd sensation this season when a gang of swindlers front Budapest were apprehended be- j fore they eotilfl mulct the I'asino of huge sums through using imitation 100-francs counters. The counter feiting was done .so Avell that the faked discs could hardly be dis tingHixhed from the gennine ones, 'even the secret marks pitched to be known only to the higher officials of the gambling establishment hav ing been copied. WHO’S AFRAID OF POLICE DOGS? fHE CONCORD TIMES dicated that none were expected im mediately. X State constable W. W. Rogers, who swore out the warrant for Townsend’s arrest, said today mat he was not prepared to divulge fully his theory in the case but that ho was convinced, wjth the evidence at hand, that the slayer of Sheriff Wil lis did not run away as had been previously believed- “Instead,” Rog ers said, “the slayer ran into the Willis home.” The detective would not state whether he believed the killing was planned in advance. Deputy Sheriff Townsend is being held in the state ivepitentiary at Columbia following his arrest last night and C. W. Johnson and Rich ard Cox are being held in the Greenville county jiiij for investiga tion. J. FRED BROWER TO HEAD PYTHIANS Winston-Salem Man Elected Grand Chancellor of The Grand Lodge.

Fenner and Beane Cotton Letter. New Orleans, June 15.—Cotton was two-sided today with fluctuations cov reing a good range and a fair sized gain at the close. It turned easy after the weekly review was issued owing to its generally favorable char acter, but rallied sharply in the after noon on buying and covering brought on by reports that the weevil situa tion was becoming critical in south west Georgia. Rains were general except in the northwest section of the belt and were heaviest in the central states where not needed. The weekly review of the weather bureau gave a generally favorable account of the crop owing to the breaking of the drouth in the west and east, but stated that weevils were increasing though not damaging yet. However, a good many private Yeports were re ceived claiming weevils wfre daily becoming a greater menace in south Georgia, south x\tlantie and parts of Mississippi and Texas. They seem to be quite general in Arkansas. Much of the late buying was based on belief that rains will add to the weevil menace and that a short crop is certain if weevils do much damage. .The market would seem to be entitled to a good reaction but trading senti- 1 meat is strongly bullish and contracts become scare whenever short selling lets up. FENNER AND BEANE. ; ] the past few years, how idealism had I made growth—along with membership I and better financial conditions, and I urged Pythians cherish their tra | ditions and ideals above other con siderations.

That if they would sit down and calmly compare their lot with that of their forefathers, they would realize that they are living aji easy life. That their forefathers worked from dawn to sunset. That automobiles and auto trucks were unknown to them. That rail transportation was a minus quality. That they used horse, mule or ox drawn vehicles. That electric power was unknown. That the telegraph and telephone bad not yet put in an appearance. That little attention was paid to sanitation and hygiene. That newspapers had not become great and were not delivering their messages into every home. That if they would, they could think of a thousand other things that we have today to make life comfortable that our forefathers did without. It is just as easy for a fellow to look at the bright side of life -us it is to worry about the dark side—and it is much more pleasant. County Checker Tournament. / Durham. N.

GEORGIA MILK BEING SHIPPED TO CUBA) , - - - I From 25,000 to 30.000 Gallons Being Shipped Daily Now. % (By International News Service) Atlanta, Ga„ June 15. —Transpor- tation facilities for the shipment of from 25,000 to 30,000 gallons of milk from Georgia farms to Cuba are now being investigated by a repre sentative of the Cuban government. Dr. Ramon Echeverria, congressman from Havana. Working in co-opera tion with him in the investigation is Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, Georgia state veterinarian. Should railroad facilities prove ade quate for quick delivery and provided rates may be obtained that will allow marketing of the milk at a reasonable price, Dr. Echeverria said. Georgia dairymen may be assured of Cuba of fering a large and steady demand. . The investigation by the Cuban gov ernment emphasizes Georgia’s steady progress in dairying and cattle rais ing during the last few years, Dr.., 1 Bahnsen said. He added that with the eradication of ticks in the open range country in the southern-part df the state, still greater progress may be expected. CLUB STANDINGS. Piedmont League. IV. L. Pet.
