ILL BOY PLEADS
TO LINDBERGH
“Friend Ned” Wants Him to Fly Low
W 7 hen He Passes Over Hospital. ' j
Boston, July 21.—When Col. Chas. |
A. Lindbergh comes to this city Fri
day he wili have to fly low over the
Children* Hospital or disappoint hie
"friend Ned.” who says he isn't very
sick, since he has only double mas
toiditis.
Ned has sent his request to the
hero of the New York to Paris flight
through Mayor Xicho* after becoming
convinced that a similar request mail
ed in care of Mayor Walker of New
York probably would become ioet.
"Dear Colonel Lindbergh.” the'let
ter. written on hospital stationery,
reads: “I made a mistake and sent
my letter to yon care of the mayor of
New York, but ray aunt said that was
a mistake because he would lose it. I
Asked you in my other letter please to
fly over the Children’s Hospital when
you come to Boston on Friday.
“I would like it much better if you J
come to see me. but if you can’t, will j
you fly over the hospital very low? I
am on the third floor and I have
double mastoids but I’m not sick and
I will watch for you all day Friday
on the j>orch and I’ll tell the other
children. 1 hope the Boston mayor
won’t forget to send this to you. I
live : n Spokane. Wash., and I am
here on a vacation.
“From your friend, Ned.
”P. S.—This is a pretty dumb let
ter. but can’t sit up to write yet.”
Mayor Nichols ha* sent Ned's re

Franklin, La., July 21.— (A*) —Mrs.

that has been hers since she with
Dr. Thomas E. Dreher and James
Beadle were accused of the murder
of her husband, James J. v Lebouef,
when she was shown a report in jail

stated that "he expected to hang all
three of the defendants.”
Lebaenf was highly iadieuant
over the statement.
Preparations for the trial of the
trio accused of causing the death of
the Morgan City utilities operator,
wh'oae mutilated body was found iu a
lake near that place, are going for
ward steadily. Sheriff Pecot said that
I while there was not enough time be-

they are blood, he felt sure the state

July 25th.
THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Fairly Steady at Decline of

Firmer.
New York. July 21. —G4*)—The cot
ton market opened fairly steady today
at a decline of 2 to 9 points, active
positions showing nearly net losses of
9 to 10 point* under liquidation and
selling for a reaction, promoted by
relatively easy Liverpool cables and
a favorable view of the early weather
reports.
Covering and apparently some trade
buying absorbed offerings on the de
c'ine, and after easing off to 18.39 for I
October, and 18.71 for January, prices
turned firmer. By the end of the first
hour October was up to 18.50 and
January to 18.83, or about 1 to 3
points net higher.
The market was steadier later on
prediction of shower* over a good part
of the belt, October selling up to
18.45 and January to 18.85. or about
3 to 6 points net higher on the new
crop poß : .tions. There was covering
and sdme trade buying, but the bulges
met renewed realizing and the market
was quiet at midday with price* 2 to

The entire printing outfit of the Ga

The July review contains articles
on “The Preservation of Georgia His

GENEVA DELEGATES ARE

Nothing Can Be Done at Naval Con

Geneva, July 21.—G4*) —Members of
the three naval conference delegations
were waiting impatiently toduy for
word from London which might give
an inkling of the conversations expect

and Viscount Cecil when they met
Premier Baldwin and other members
of the British cabinet.
These two leading members of the
British delegation left Geneva for
London ostensibly to place before the
cabinet a report on the status of
naval limitations conference, and it is
considered here that much depends
on inetruetions they bring back. It |
is not expected they will return to J

During their absence all but minor j

Stone Mountain Land Subject
Os Bitter Legislative Battle
Atlanta, Ga„ July 21.—(INS) —
Interest of the Southern states and
the nation is centering in a bill now
pending in the Georgia senate, which
would give the Stone Mountain Mem
orial Association the right of eminent
domain as to lands, within a radius
of one-half mile of the base of the
carving.
The fight now being waged in the
Georgia senate has called for an at
tack upon property owners who are
fighting the bill, by State Senator I).
B. Bullard, one of it’s co-authors, who
declares that the property owners, in
their fight to obtain unreasonable
prices for their land, are issuing, or
causing to be issued, propaganda
against the association charging it
with extravagance and incompetence.
Mr. Bullard declared that if the
memorial was not built by the associa
tion as constituted at the present time,
then it would never be built.
“The association has made repeated
efforts to buy this ground,” said Sena
tor Bullard, “and from the best in
formation obtainable, the owners are
either unwilling or unable tp agree
among themselves to make a sale at
a fairly appraised valuation. Some
of those appearing against the bill
talked as if it was proposed to con
fiscate the ground- I take it that
every member of the legislature knows
the difference between confiscation and
condemnation.

NATURE STORING UP
NEW OIL SUPPLIES
V' - ;
Petroleum Still Being Created For
Future Generations. German Scient
ist Believes. '
State College, Pa., July 21.—The
theory th:lt the natural formation
of petroleum is a thing of the past,
to which scientists have been subscrib
ing for years, >vas shaken by l>r. Hans
Tropseh of the Kaiser-WHheim In
stitute, Mnnheim-um-Ruhr, Germany.
In an address before the Institute
of Chemstry of the American Chemical
Society here, Dr. Tropseh advanced
the theory, based on discoveries by
himself and associates in obtaining
petroleum products from fuels of var
ious kinds, that nature is still at work
making and laying up stores of this
important commodity for future gen
erations.
Nature’s probable methods in mak
ing petroleum are duplicated in the re
cent discovery of the method of its
synthesis from water 'gas, he said.
Liquefaction of coal by the Bergius
! process is limited to bituminous coal
and lignite, but the newly discovered
process has no such limitation, ac
-1 curding to l)r. Thopsch.
“Any of the ordinary sues. whether
I of high or low grade, can be converted
into gasses, either water gas, a mix
ture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide
obtained by heating carbon in a cur
rent of steam, or natural gas such
as methane, ethane, and others,” he
said. “Either natural gas or water
gas can be used as a starting point
for the preparation ofc gasoline,
naphtha, lubricating oil or paraffin
wax, by our recently discovered pro
cesses.
"These processes are similar,to those
in operation in Germany, France and
the United State for producing wood
i alcohol, formerly made exclusively
from wood, and in Germany for the
manufacture of ‘synthol,’ which is
proving satisfactory as <r motor fuel."
Dr. Tropseh said that in the produc
tion of Synthol or synthetic gasoline,
no refining process was necessary- In
the present iietroleum practice the re
moval of sulphur from gasoline has
been estimated to have cost American
motorists about $50,000,000 a year.
Os his theory that iietroleum may be
formed naturally under present condi
tions, Dr. Tropseh said:
"Gases collected from a crater on
Mount Pelee, after allowing for the
hir sneked id-at the time, consist of
50 per cent carbon dioxide, 5 per cent
carbon moonxide, 18 per cent methane
and 27 per cent hydrogen —a gas mix
ture such as we have often obtained
in our synthes. The gutaiysts requir
ed for the reaction, particularly the
iron, are to be found everywhere, ami
the activating substances such as al
kali are also present.
“There are therefore, indications ex
isting from which we can conclude
that at least part of the natural crude
oil was formed with the help of cat
alysts. From this possibility we may
conclude that even today, under favor
able conditions, crude oil is formed
I which cannot be assumed with respect
I to its formation from annual residues."

WilPße Buried Sunday.
I Paris, July 21.—04>) —A Havas dis

I day in order to permit the rural pop
' ulation to reach the capital to pay
j homage to the late king.
against the association are to tiiy mind
an affront to the intelligence of the
legislature. If these men and women
cannot be trusted to handle the funds
and manage the affairs of this enter
prise with the utmost integrity and
so as to secure the best possible results
under the conditions, the people in
Georgia might as well abandon the
idea that we are ever going to have a
great monument to our Confederate
ancestors carved on Stone Mountain.
If this association as at present con
stituted cannot build the monument,
then no other group of people ever
can or ever will.
“We owe it to them to hold up
their hands and support them in every
way we can. They went to the con
gress of the United States and asked
for a coin bearing the images of Rob
ert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson,
and congress gave it to them by un
animous vote of the house and senate,
an unprecedented thing in the history
of any country.
“The atmosphere has been filled
with poison gas in connection with
this bill, but my observation is that
the members of the legislature have
not been strangled or blinded by such
propaganda. My judgment is that the
bill is going to pass the senate and
that the house will likewise vindicate
the good name and magnificent public
service of the members of the associa
tion.”

Managua, Nicaragua. July 21.—(A*)
—Xotwihtstanding the defeat with
numerous casualties, which his rebel
band suffered at the hands of Amer
ican marines and native constabulary
at Ocotal. General Sandino hope* to
capture Tiscapa Fort which control*
the city of Managua, now occupied
by tlie marines.
An intercepted message addressed
from Satidino to his wife reads: "Al
though they believe me weak, I shall
coon occupy the Tiscapa fortress.”
Another message signed by Sandino
which wa* *ent the day after the
Ocotal battle and picked up by ii tele
graph operator at San Ferjnando, says
“the only one responsible for what
has happened here is the President of
the United State, Calvin Coolidge, who
has supported Adolfo Diaz” (the con
servatice president of Nicaragua).
This message addresned to "All Au

men desire to show they continued to
defend the constitutionality of Dr.

they were bandits, and to prove that
they prefer to slavery.
WRENN TO SEEK
SECLUDED SPOT
President of Defunct Bank in Move
To Dodge Public Until Trial.
North Wilkesboro, July 20. —Clem
Wrenn, ex-banker of Wilkesboro, who
was yesterday released under $25,000
bond when he waived preliminary
hearing before Magistrate J. L. Turn
er on the charge of forgery and em
bezzlement, will leave immediately
with his family for a visit to his
father-in-law, Rev. M. H. Vestal of
Boouville, Yadkin county, according
to a statement made to representa
tives of the press today by Mrs.
Wrenn.,
She declared that the late president
of the defunct Bank of Wilkes, which
closed its doors May 28, would' go
into seclusion at her old Yadkin counr
ty home.
Mr. Wrenn, who has been receiving
treatment at Westbrook sanatorium,
Richmond, Va., following a nervous
breakdown since the day before the
bank closed, was said to have rested
but little on Monday night before his
arrival here. He appeared nervous
and distraught, so his family plans
for him to reciqierate from the hard
trip back to Wilkes in quiet atmos
phere away from the gaze of the cur
ious, the taunts of enemies and the
ministrations of friends.
Mrs. Wrenn avowed that her hus
band would in all probability return
to Richmond for further treatment fol
lowing his visit to Yadkin.
The report that Mr. Wrenn has
paid for a reservation in the Virginia
sanatorium for 12 months in advance
was emphatically denied.
The trial will probably be one of
the hardest contested cases in the
legal annals of Wikes county. The
case will probably be delayed until the
March coupt, as over 200 cases are
already on the docket for trial at- the
August term. This condition would
only be aggravated by the addition
of the Wreen trial.
44 SNAKES ARE BORN
IN STATE MUSEUM
Only Few Are Left, For Many Os
Small Ones Escaped From Cage.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, July 21.—A mother gar
ter snake gave birth to 44 young gar
ter snakes iu the state museum here
yesterday. But of this nmber only
approximately two-thirds are alive to
day for the small snakes escaped from
their cage.
One of the mocassins which is kept
at the state museum was expected to
give birth to a brood yesterday, and,
when one of the janitors saw several
young snakes on the floor he promptly
stepped on them, thinking that they
were poisionous. In addition, three
of the more adventurous youngsters
went to visit an attractive looking
copperhead, who returned their cour
tesy by eating them.
The snakes were able to escape
through the wire netting which closed
one eud of their cage because they
were unusually small, and, being lion
poisinous, they had small heads. A
brood of 44 is considered unusual, even
among garter snakes, and is a record
for the state museum.
The mother snake was considerably
weakened by the birth of the large
bnxid. and she was killed by the cura
tor of the museum. She will be put
in alcohol, and placed, along with her
surviving children, in a special per
manent exhibit on the second floor of
the museum. The young snakes are
perfectly able to get along without a
mother's care, and would all be alive
had they not desired to escape and
travel.

templated. His visit to the Black
Hills seems likely to bring into na
tional prominence South Dakotas
Democratic governor, William J. Bu
low.
Almost unknown in the East, a man
who has never been east of Ohio,
where he was born. Bulow is the hope
of the Democrats in the western corn
and wheat beltg and already things are
in motion to get a place for him ou
the Democratic ticket.
Straugely enough, the Bu
low Vs friends to get him on', (fee picket
is likely to improve Gov. Al Smith's
chances “lor the Democratic-peetfideii
tial nomination, for even those Demo
crats out here who don’t care much
for Smith agree a SHtlth-Bulow ticket
would be the most logical one.
Bulow is a farmer-lawyer. He is a
Protestant and he is dry to the extent
of having a record for law enforce
ment. He is almost everything Al
Smith is not, yet there is a strong
similarity between the two. He has
a strong personality, as is attested by
his victory in a Republican state when
all the rest of his state ticket was
defeated.
The South Dakota governor was
elected by Republican votes just as
Smith's up-state Republican support
has made him New York’s fourth time
governor. Talk to most any Repub
lican west of the Missouri River, in
the experience if this correspondent,
and he will tell you he thinks Bulow
is making a good governor and that
he would vote for him again.
Bulow is tall and lean, with a long,
thin face and rather prominent nose.
His complexion is the ruddy color of
the farmer, for he is a real farmer in I
the eastern pnrt of the state. He
practices law, but be speaks the lan
guage of the farmer of these parts and
they like him.
‘At Ardmore recently, in the pres
ence of President Coolidge, Bulow
touched briefly '•upon the farm relief
problem, but left a thought with his
hearers which the politicians fear may
grow and make Bu’.ow a real power
with them. He assailed the Repub
lican tariff as the cause of the farm
ers’ troubles. In effect he told them
their votes for the Republican ticket
had brought their misery upon them.
Bulow believes the Democratic par
ty is the farmers’ only hope. He
believes the tariff wall must be torn
down, so that the prices which the
farmer has to pay for the things be
buys will no longer be artificially
fixed by excluding foreign competi
tion. He believes the farmer’s world
market for his grain and other pro
duce must be restored or else the
fanner must be given the same, sort
of artificial prices for things he sells.
Governor Bulow was -elected on an
economy platform and he has just
ended a fight with the Republican
legislature not unlike some* of the
battles Governor Smith has had with
the New York legislature.
