DELAYWILLPERHtIT
FILING OF APPEALS
FOR THE ANARCHISTS
Defense Lawyer Said Few
More Days Was Needed
to Prosecute His Elev
enth Hour Fight.
WILL DECISION
BE FAVORABLE?
News of Reprieve Reached
Warden Hendry’s Office
at 11:45 Pi M.—News
Preceded His Notice.
Boston, Aug., 11. — UP) —Twelve
more days of life have been assured
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.
Fifteen minutes before their march
to the death house was started the
warden at the Charlestown prison
brought word that Gov. A. T. Fuller
and his council had announced a re
spite until and including August 22.
The delay as ordered will permit
the filing of two appeals of error by
State Supreme Court Just Sanderson
which if approved will take the case
before the full bench of the. court.
There was some inference today that
their ruling will be favorable.
A respite signed with the others
less than an hour before the current
was to have been switched on for the
first of a triple execution, sayed for
the same 12 day period the death of
Celestino Madiroes, convicted of an
other murdqr and self-identified with
the other two.
The dramatic announcement from
the State House climaxed a day charg
ed with increasing tension.
It came after Governor Fuller, who
once before had respited the con
demned men, and who only last Wed
nesday had turned down, a plea for
clemency after a long investigation,
had presented to his council new mat
ter for the defense.
The reasons briefly, were the con
tention of Arthur D. Hill, of the de
fense, that a few more days were
needed to prosecute his 11th hour
fight through the -remaining legal
channels and the decision of Jud San
derson to defer until today announce
ment of his decision whether to per
mit the defense to appeal to tfie high
er court exceptions taken at his ear
lier denial of a writ of error in favor
of the condemned men.
Inference that the decision will be
favorable was drawn from the an
nouncement by Mr. Murray, messen
ger for the State Supreme Court, that
he was telegraphing members ju£- the
high tribunal that a session will be
held bn next Monday or Tuesday. *
The reprieves came after the 'de
fense’s hope of possible interference
by the federal court had been blasted
by announcement from Justice Holmes
of the U. S. Supreme Court and from
Judge George A. Anderson, of the U.
S. Circuit Court they would not enter
tain motion for habeas corpus.
Justice Holmes declared he could
find no authority unless he were con
vinced that the trial, court had not
jurisdiction. He was not so convinc
ed, he said, and even if prejudice on
the part of the presiding judge was
as strong as alleged, it had not de
prived the court of jurisdiction.
“In my opinion nothing short of
want of legal power to decide the case
would authorize me to interfere in
this summary way with the proceed
ings of the State Court,” he said.
Judge Anderson in a statement is‘-
sued jointly with that of Justice
Holmes shortly before midnight, de
clared he was not able to take a def
ferent view.
Mr. Hill and others for the defense
visited Justice Holmes at his Bever
ly home and urged upon him as they
have before the Massachusetts court
that affidavits of newspaper men and
women showed Justice Webster Thay
er had been prejudiced and for that
reason the condemned men ought to
be given a new trial.
News of the reprieves which had
been recommended by Governor Ful
ler after a long conference with all
the living former Attorney Generals
of Massachusetts except one, who
was not available, and which had
been consented to unanimously by his
council officials, reached Warden Wnj.
Hendry’s office at 11:45 p. m.
They were rushed to the big pris
on by Capt. Charles T. Deaupre of
the State police but unofficially the
intelligence preceded the bearer of the
papers and already the big army of
police guarding the grim penitentiary
had started to disperse when he ar
rived.

Quadruple Press, manufactured by the well known printing press manufacturers, R. Hoe & Co., of New York. The press prints a complete paper from
4 to 16 pages, folded in a single section and has a capacity of 10,000 papers per hour.
In order to make room for this big press and the stereotype equipment necessary, the job office and all its appurtenances were moved upstairs im
immediately over the composing room of the office in the room formerly oc-cupied by the Elks as a lodge room. This gives the job printing office much
more room, and is a most desirable change in every way.
The Tribune and Times office in all its departments now occupies nearly 6,000 square feet of floor space.

ASSAILANT OF SLAIN
SYRIAN ELUDES POSSE
Wadesboro Merchant, Struck Down
In Store, Dies of Fractured Skull.
‘Wadesboro, Aug. 10.—B. Nassif,
Syrian merchant, who was struck
down with an axe in the hands of
an unidentified robber late Tuesday
in his store here, died early this morn
ing at the Anson Sanatorium without
regaining consciousness.
The body was carried to the Nassif
home at Rockingham, and the funeral
and interment will be at Rockingham
Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock;
Mr. Nassif’s family was with him
when he died.
Officers last night and today were
putting forth every effort to run down
clues, but‘there was little to go on,
and thus far nothing is known de
finitely as to the identity of the
slayers.
A small, black negro, who had a
scar under one eye was seen loitering
around the neighborhood of the Nassif
store Tuesday afternoon, and there
have been reports that a negro with
blood on his pants was seen near the
depot. Officers chased him, but he
got away.
Robbery has been accepted as the
motive for the attack. The cash reg
ister was looted of a small amount
of money and the robber was thought
to have escaped through a back win
dow.
Mr. Nassif was found lying in his
store with his skull farctured. All
indications pointed to an attack with
an axe.
Passersby had heard strange gurg
ling noises for some time before he
was discovered, but no investigation
was made. A son of the merchant,
returning to the store about 6:30
o'clock from a baseball game, found
his father near death.

NEW SIOO,OOO CLASS
ROOM FOR STATE COLLEGE
Contract to Be Let Next Tuesday,
Announces A. S. Brower.
Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Aug. 11. —The contract
for State College’s new SIOO,OOO
class room building will be let# on
Tuesday, August 16, it was announc
ed today by A. S. Brower, business
manager ofthe college.
The plans for the new building
were made by the students in the
architectural school at State college,
and approved •by Howard Upjohn,
New York architect. Mr. Upjohn
stated that the State College stu
dents had done excellent work in
planning their building, and he made
very few changes in their plans.
The new building will be used for
lecture work by the departments of
English modern languages, and
business administration. The work
at present being done in Ricks Hall
will be transferred to the newr build
ing when it is complefed on January
1, and the administrative offices will
be moved from Holliday Hall to
Ricks Hall. Holliday Hall will then
be remodelled.
At the same meeting next Tuesday
the contract for the new president’s
residence at State College will be let.
The building will face Hillsboro road
and will «>st approximately $30,000.
Both building will be of brick,
with white limestone trim. An ex
amination of p : ans indicates that
they will be anTong the best looking
college buildings in the state, for the
architectural students who drew the
plans did so only after a thorough
study of collegiate architecture.
Because of present conditions in
the building trade, and recent re
ductions in the price of brick, State
College officials believe that they
will receive lower bids than they
ever have for the construction work.
A large number of contractor’s have
asked that plans be sent them so
that they can make estimates.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR
NEW INDUSTRIES
This Is the Outstanding Question for
„ the Department of Cn—intinn and
Development.
The Tfibnne Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Aug. 11.--What are the
most promising opportunities for the
establishment of new industries in
North Carolina? This problem, in
general, is the outstanding question
that faces the newly inaugurated sta
tistical program of the department
of conservation and development.
Seemingly a simple problem, the de
partment’s undertaking involves a
scope of study and research which re
quires technical skill and a thorough
survey of the state. It is a pro
gram in which North Carolina has
taken the lead among the various
states, according to available informa
tion.
Park MathcwsOn, New York statis
tician of many years’ experience and
training, who has been selected to
inaugurate the program, has already
begun the fundamental work. The
general outline of the program was ‘
made under the direction of H. S. Mc-
Claren, Charlotte,' head of the tire con
cern which bears his name and chair
man of the industrial and commercial
division of the department board, and
Director Wade H. Phillips of the de
partment, and this plan has received
the endorsement of the department
board.
To begin with, the officials plan to
make a survey of the opportunities oL
sered by the state or a stock-taking of
the resources. This work will be
fundamental to whatever exploitation
of the findings is made later. How
ever, the general preliminary idea is
to make available all of the informa
tion that is gathered for the benefit
of the various cities, communities, and
their agencies for this purpose.
According to plans for’ the survey
as outlined by Mr. McClaren, two
fields, natural resoures and industries,
will be covered. Under the head of
natural resources broadly, the survey
contemplates the compilation and tab
ulation of information regarding raw
materials, education, taxes, transpor
tation, fisheries, labor, water power,
climate and health, and associated sub
jects.
The survey of the raw materials, ac
cording to Mr. McClaren’s plan, will
include “kind (lumber, minerals, stone,
clay products, etc.); quality; where
located; accessibility to transportation
facilities; labor available for deliver
ing to factories in state or to trans
portation companies for shipment out
of state; -approximate cost compared
with cost same materials in other
states.”
By means of the survey, the depart
ment hopes to show what opportuni
ties have not been touched, where op
portunities lie for further develop
ment; and what factors are preventing
development along any lines and how
to remedy the conditions that have
stood in the way of progress in any
line.
“Regarding industries,” says Mr.
McClaren, “our ultimate objective
should be complete statistics to show
for each industry in our state the
number of manufacturers 'engaged in
it; their total capital invested; the
'different articles produced ; the dollars
and cents value of the annual out
put ; where sold; the number of em
ployes, male, female, etc.; the average
wage of each employee; the kind of
labor, skilled or unskilled, the extent
of each; the total amount of the an
nual payroll of each industry; the raw
■ material used; kind; quality, quan
tity, etc.; where obtained; transpor-

NEGRO PREACHER
HAS OWN METHOD
Tells His Message With Objects Which
He Designates As "Similitudes.”
Plymouth, Aug. 11. —Travelers along
the dusty Williamston-Plymouth high
way are constrained to stop and view
the various quaint objects, placed at
the cross-roads, about four miles this
side of the former city, by Rev. Joshua
L*. Griffin, 78-year-old colored preach
er, who prefers to be called a mes
senger of God rather than a preacher,
whose humble little home is located
on the highway at this conspicuous
place.
These objects that attract the at
tention of the traveler are called
"similitudes” by this aged minister.
An old-fashioned well resembling the
ancient Palestinian watering places
is easily seen in the yard. According
to the minister, this stirs remem
brances in the mind of the spectator
of early lessons learned from the
Bible of Christ talking to the Samari
tan woman at the well. Horns on
stakes by the highway signify the
horns which are mentioned by the
writer of Revelations. A small shed
'with a box under it represents the
tabernacle with the ark of the coven
ant in it, which the Bible relates was
carried by the Israelites on their pil
grimage from Egypt to the land of
Canaan. Under each of these sym
bolic objects is an inscription inter
preting the lesson to be learned.
Uncle Josh attributes his lonevity
of life to the ardent observance of
the commandment, which promises
long life to the child that honors its
parents. This minister has created
quite a sensation in this section by
his unique practic in propagating the
gospel.
NORTH CAROLINA
PRODUCING BRICK
Forty-nine Counties of State Make
Brick for Building Purposes.
Raleigh, Aug. 11. —Forty-nine North
Carolina counties are now producing
common brick for building purposes,
says "The Mineral Industry in North
Carolina for 1924 and 1925,” compiled
by State Geologist H. J. Bryson.
Production of brick is increasing
steadily in the State, says the docu
ment. The total value of brick and
tile manufactured in North Carolina
for 1925 is given at $4,170",445, an
increase of $170,000 over the previous
year’s output.
During 1925, sixty-eight producers
turned out common brick amounting
to $2,432,658, while for the same year
fourteen^establishments manufactured
high grade brick and tile valued at
$1,487,273, an increase of more than
a half million dollars over 1923.
“All of the white, gray, and buff
colored clay products used in this
State, says the publication, "are ship
ped in from other states. Considerable
interest has been developed in the
possibility of finding such clays in
commercial quantities, but to date
none of real value have been reported.”
tation cost of such raw material
against similar cost same material to
competitors located in other states.
“Ascertain particularly the need or
lack of it for expansion of manufac
turing facilities in each industry now
operating in our state. This infor
mation ie most important because ob
viously no effort should be made to
bring to our state additional manufac
turing plants to turn out a product
that will add competition for our
present manufacturers in any line
where at the present time our man
ufacturers are suffering from the ef
fects of over-production capacity in
that particular line.”
FOUR COTTON MILLS
AT HENDERSON ARE
DESERTED TODM
Despite the Protection oi

Operatives Refuse.
THIS IS SECOND
WEEK OF STRIKE
Eight Hundred Operatives

Henderson, N. C. Aug. 11.—</P>—
Despite the protection of troops act
ing as encouragement to return to
work without disturbance, the 4 Har
riet cotton mills remained deserted
today, beginning the second week of
strike of mill workers seeking a re
turn to 1924 wages.
Two companies of troops, a local
infantry company and the Durham
machine gun outfit were on guard at
the request of City Attorney B. H.
Curry and County Attorney J. G.
Kittrell, and ordered out by Acting
Governor Long at Durham last night.
Officials so the mills invited thost
who wished to return to work, t 6 da
so under troop protection.
A week ago today 800 workers from
the Harriett cotton mills Nos. 1,2, 3,
and 4, walked out seeking to retrieve
the 12 1-2 per cent. cut.in wages put
into effect in the mills in 1924 when
officials cited hard times. With busi
ness better now’ the workers are strik
ing for a return to the old wages.
It w’as reported today that a few
of the night workers walked out last
night in the North Henderson mill
which thus far has not been affected
by the strike. About 500 remained
at work at the North Henderson mill
on the day shift
The strikers say a return of the
12 1-2 per cent, cut in wages was
promised them as soon as condition*
permit, while the management sayl
the men here are being paid 165 per
cent, of wages prevailing in 1913,
while wages in the southern mills gen
erally are 150 per cent of 1923
wages.
Sheriff D. L. Kearney, was back
