(lattnuUoui r * in DISCUSS COTTON COVERING FOR THE COTTON BALES liesolntJoin to Tins Effect Adopted by Southern Commissioners of Agri culture Meeting in New Orleans. The Tribune Burcao, Sir Walter iloiei. Raleigh, Sept. 26 —Concerted action looking toward the use of cotton eovemg for cotton bales was launch ed by the SoutherriMTommlssionera ol Agriculture, in session in New Or leans, reported Commissioner William A- Graham, upon his return from the Cresccut City. A virgorous resolution was adopted. Commissioner Graham said, lavonng the putting of cotton to such use, and a bill is being drawn whch will be submitted to the next Congress asking legislation providing for the sale of cotton by net weight, in order that the desired result may be accomplish ed. He reported further that Commis si i oner Wilson of Louisiana was panning to make a number of speech es in the Cotton* States in favor of ;be p’an. In the meantime, the New Orleans meeting, in a resolution which was unanimously adopted, callod upon the newspapers of the South to use their influence toward bringing to pass thk new use of cotton, in order that the demand might be increased. For sometime Commissioner Gra ham has been interested ip the propo sition. Upon the request of Commis sioner Wilson he madfe several scare men ts calling for the reaction of these interested and he stated today that the response had been encourag ing, especially those receving from dinners. He brought with him from Xew Orleans a copy of the resolution adopted there, which will be of in terest throughout the South. ‘•Realizing that the quickest, most practical and economical solution xor the present and future welfare of the Southern people mperiaily the cotton farmer, lies in finding new uses for cotton,” it was ponted out, “be it re solved : “First, That we urge tne use ot only bagging made of cotton, of prop er eonstmetiion and strength, to cover our cotton bales. “Second, That fmch cotton bagging beiDg nine pounds per bale lighter than jnte, we insist that cotton be sold by net weight and not gross as has been the custom, or else nine pounds per bale be allowed on cotton covered with cotton bagging. we realize that it is an economic fallacy to sell cotton by gross weight, the vpinner paying only for* the cotton fiber, the jnte covering being of no value to him. Besides, all other im portant commodities are sold on net weight. “Third. That we appeal to all gin ners and cotton planters and to the citizens of the South in general to take similar action, immediately, and to express in unmistakable terms their endoreement of the use of cot ton in place of jute. “Fourth, That we demand that the Southern cotton exchanges and similar organizations at once make rules in line with the above, and we petition the Secretary of Agriculture of the Unted States to issue such regulations as are necessary to carry »our object into effect. “Firth, That we appeal to the newspapers and periodicals _of the South to advocate at once in the strongest language possible the adop tion of cotton bagging for covering cotton bales, and to advocate the sale of cotton on net weight instead ol gross; to keep constantly before the. people of this county the use of cot ton cloth for every purposes ror which jute or burlap is now used, thereby finding additional outlets for low grades of cotton “ The best way to keep the price of cotton above the cost of production is to find new uses for cotton, wherebv a large crop can be absorbed, thereby preventing the piling up of a surplus that will become a burden on the market.” Reports is Rum Ships From Canada. Philadelphia, Sept. 28.—C4 1 )—Cana- dian rum runners have sent 19 ships laden with liquor to the United States within the last year, according to M. J. Long, former wireless operaton on the S.

The Clackamas was seized last Febru ary and the Buiko about two weeks ago. SAYS AIR SERVICE OVERAILANTIC TO COME WITHIN YEAH CaDt. Rene Fonck, Noted French Pilot, Says He Hopes to Start Service Sometime Next Spring. STOPS PLANNED FOR THE PLANES Hopes to Put Six Planes Into Service and to Carry Mail as Well as Passengers in Them. New York, Sept. 29.— UP) —Regular passenger and mail service by air between America and Europe, a vision born of the recent trans-Atlantic aerial triumphs will boa routine reality next spring, if the plans of Captain Rene Fonck materialize. The French war ace said he has unlimited financial backing both in 'this country and France for his project, which would put six planes into commercial cross-seas service, and obtain added revenue from mail con tracts for which he is now negotiating with the American government. Fonck himself would pilot one of the planes, several of which if not all, would be Sikorskys like the one which he had planned to use in the trans-Atlantic and coast-to-eoast non stop flights he has been forced to abandon. The trans - Atlantic commercial planes would fly between New York and probably Paris, following a south ern route with a stop at the Azores and a northern route with stops at Newfoundland and Ireland. Courses would depend on weather conditions. At first, flights would be made without passengers, to demonstrate the safety and the service of the project. Then, Fonck said, passengers would be taken at comparatively cheap rates, subject to increase as demand for passage in creased. The French aviator said he would sail for Paris Saturday, and hoped to return here within six weeks and place orders immediately for the building of two more Sikorsky planes. WILL NEAL IS AMEND TO RUN FOR CONGRESS Very Mnch in Notion of Tackling Race Ajyunst Congressman Zeb Weaver. Raleigh. Sept. 2& —Obscuration of Ambassador Will Neal which took place ,when a combination of schools, roads and religion worked him into the minority in 1928, has ended, and it comes to the capital from the far country that Mr. Neal is very mnch in the notion to try Congress against Zaholon Weaver. Mr. ‘ Neal was not made to stay down or to he out. He lost Ms 1926 rac2 to a Republican who profited by all the school troubles and all the road rows that Mr. NeaTs course in the general assembly inspired. The ambassador to Tennessee voted against the Poole evolution hill, the hardest, thing to explain in the hill country. That cost a few votes dpd schools and roads took away the remainder of his majority. He is not encouraged by all the neighbors to run against eb Weaver. They tell him that when he tackles Weaver he must take on Jim Stike leather, who sings tenor in an Ashe ville choir, runs roads as highway commissioner and gets very busy when anybody offers his brother-in-law, Zeh Weaver, any trouble. Mr. Neal takes due notice. Buncombe can cast 12,- 000 Democratic votes when Walter Haynes and Don Ellas are feeling good, and McDowell cannot get out more than 3,750 generally. Mr. Nenl starts with a terrific handicap. But he begins cautiously. He is surveying tße field. He is not yet done and he may make the try for WasMngton. Getting a good opponent for Mr. Weaver is very difßcult. The district always has Cap’n Bob Reynolds, but the Cap goes out for bigger game thau a congressional cushion. When some body persuaded Tom Jimison some months ago to solicit Cap’n Bob’s sup port for Governor Morrison, Cap’n Bob were not running for the sena torial honor. So with Our Bob out of the picture, Mr. Weaver hds no antagonist, unless Ambassador Neal offers against him. And down here there is a feeling that Ambassador Neal is not acceptable to the Anti-Saloon league. ACOSTA AND FRIENDS OFF FOR RICHMOND Left Danville, Va, This Morning, Af ter Exchanging Starting Fields. Danville, Va., Sept. 29. — UP) —Bert Acosta and four companions took off from a field near here at 10 :17 o’clock today for Richmond, -taking the air in a giant Fokker monoplane after a run of an eighth of a mile. The plane cleared the trees, and climbed steadily. The passengers were Charles Mc- Lean, of Richmond; Emil Bargin, Earl Twiggs and Tom Muroy, all of New York. Early today Acosta abandoned an attempt to leave from a hay field in which a forced landing was made yes terday, when it was seen that the field was too short to take off with a heavy load. Accordingly the pas seugers alighted and Acosta took off alone, landing in a larger field about three miles away. The passengers were taken to the large field by auto mobile. * Will Umpire in World Series. Chicago, Sept. 28.— UP)— President B. B. Johnson of the American League today appointed H. P. Nallin and E. T. Ormsby as umpires to officiate in the coming World Series. CONCORD, N. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1927 HEPORT SAYS READ BODY IS FLOATING AT KAHBOR GRACE Men Going Across Concep tion Bay Saw Body and Tried to Pull It Into Their Boat. HEAD OF DEAD BODY Report Leads to the Belief That Body May Be That of Some Aviator Lost Over the Atlantic. Harbor Grace, N. F., Sept. 29.— UP) —A report that the body of a man with a helmet on the head, similar to those worn by aviators, had been seen floating between Belle Island in Conception Bay and this town on the mainland, was current here today. There was no early confirmation. The etory as told here was that two men had reported that while go ing from the mainland to Belle Island in a motor boat, they had seen the. body, and had tried to recover it with their hook, but that the heavy swell on the ocean’s surface prevented this. The rumor immediately started spec ulation among the residents of Har bor Grace as to whether the body might have been that of one of the airmen lost oii the several flights be tween New Foundland and Europe this year, which ended in the loee or disappearance of the planes. THE COTTON MARKET Opened Steady at Decline of 14 to 31 Points Under Realizing by Recent Buyers. New York, Sept. 29.— UP) —The cotton market opened steady today at a decline of 14 to 31 points under realizing by recent buyers and South ern or local selling inspired by rela tively easy Liverpool cables, and re ports of warmer weather in the South west. December sold off to 21.70 and March to 22.06, net declines of about 25 to 30 po : nte on active positions, but the forecast for showers in the eastern belt brought in baying at the lqwer prices, and a good part of the losses waa recovered in early trading. Private cables Said that some' end month trade calling in Liverpool had been supplied by continental and Bpip-* bay aeßing, but reported larger clear ances of cotton goods at better prices at the Shanghai anctions. The early rally extended to 21.95’ for December and 22.25 for March, or back to nearly yesterday's closing quotation. _ This bulge met some further southern hedging or realizing, however, and fluctuations later in the morning were rather irregular, with trading comparatively quiet. At mid day December was sellin g around 21-85 with the general market show ing net declines of S to 15 points. Cotton futures opened steady : Oct. 21.53. Dec. 21.76; Jan. 2L75; March 22.12; May 22227. STATE TROOPER GUARDS MRS. LIT J JEN DAHL NOW She Is Out on Bond In Murder Case But Trooper Will Follow Her Con stantly. Hammontnn. N.

BASKERVILL Raleigh, Sept. 29. —To print or not to print still remains the question of the hour, as far as the State is con cerned. And despite the fact that an entirely new printing contract and specifications have been submitted to 4;he printing commission along with a new proposal from the present State printers, the tangle seems as far, if not farther, from solution than it has been at any time yet. For although the printing commis sion announced that it had reached no decision ’ as yet, despite the fact that it rejected the proposal of the printers with little delay, it has been learned that considerable opposition to the new contract and specifications developed, when it had been expected that they wou'.d be quickly adopted. As far as the present State print ers are concerned, they feel that in making the proposal that they made, whereby they agreed to accept a re newal of the present contract until the end of the present fiscal year with the price for composition increased to 89 cents per 1,000 emg, with the sole provision that they be represented on any committee or commission that should undertake an investigation of printing prices and practices, that they have gone as far as they can go and that from now on the governor and the other members of the printing commission may stew in their own oil. It is understood that tl;e commis sion rejected the printers’ latest pro posal because of the provision insur ing upon representation on any com mittee or commission to investigate printing costs and practices because the commission felt that this would be granting representation to an in vestigatory body to those with whom :t would later have to receive bids from. However, the printers deny that this was their intention and that they only desired to be represented on the investigatory committee to as sist that committee in arriving at the facts and with no intention or desire of participating in the makeup of contract or specifications that might be formed as a result of the investi gation. In fact, it is understood that the printers had not contemplated making any new offer or submitting any new proposal to the printing commission until one of their representatives had been personally requested to do so by a member of the commission. Thus the situation now resolves it self around the adoption of a new contract and specification form by the printing commission and the calling for new bids, since it is mandatory ’ffpon fhw comm fusion to ciTl for hide. Bnt how long it will take the print ing commission to evolve snch a con tract upon which its members and the governor can all agree is a most in definite matter at present. The revised contract and specifica tions presented to the commission Tuesday by Frank D. Grist, commls PROPOSE TO CURTAIL SPINNING ACTIVITIES As Result English Spinning Industry Is Expected To Be Put On Profit able Basis. • Manchester, Eng-, Sept. 28. —The American spinning section of the British cotton industry,Yt is expected, will be put on a profitable basis by reason of an important agreement on both the question of prices and cur tailment of production which was reached today between representatives of the Cotton Yarn association and the (Master Spinners federation. The agreement v'ns reached after a five day conference. The two bodies in the industry have been at variance for some time and the announcement of an agreement is welcomed by the trade and the spinners, who expect, now that, co operation has been established, that permanent improvement will take place in the American spinning sec tion. The agreement which terminates the series of prolonged meetings to bring peace in the cotton trade, will be sub mitted to the respective executives of the two organizations, who will meet on Friday to discuss other urgent probleAs affecting the industry. The terms of the settlement have not yet been made public. GOVERNOR DISCUSSES “ECONOMY” POLICIES Says He Has Not Been Too Economi cal-Regrets He Has “Been Misunderstood.” Charlotte, Sept. 28.-feßeplying to critics of his financial policies, Gov ernor McLean, in an address at a luncheon in his honor here today, leclared, “I have not been too eco nomical,” and expressed regret that be “had been misunderstood” by what he meant by “constructive economy.” Governor McLean insisted that it was impossible for him to be as economical with state funds as he would have liked to have been, be cause under North Carolina’s form of •government, many, heads of depart ments are elected by the public and :iot appointed by the governor. By “constructive economy” Gover nor McLean said he meant not spend ing for anything unnecessary or with out value. “And by value,” continued the gov ernor, “I do not mean material value done. Some "of the most valuable Lhings we have are spiritual values.” He placed education and money Tent for it in the class of spiritual values. THE STOCK MARKET New Peak Prices Established by Some Rails. —Prices Move Higher. New York, Sept. 29.— UP) —Prices moved irregularly higher at the open ing of the stock market today. New )oak prices were eetabliehed at the tart by the Chesapeake Corporation, '’hesapeake & Ohio, and Montgomery Ward on advances of a point or more. Nash Motors opened a point higher. * eioner of labor and printing, con tained a number of changes which seemed to be in direct line with the will of the commission, also conform ing with the recommendations of the advisory committee of printers. To begin with, it provided for the i classification of printers, according to ! their mechanical equipment, into three j grades, grade A including all those | printers equipped to do any or all ! of the State printing, from scratch | pads to binding, grade* B those equip ped to clo all but the more complicated printing and binding, and grade C on ly those equipped to do the simpler class of printing. By classifying plants in this manner, printers would be able to know on juet what grades of printing and what quantities they could handle. But vigorous objection was raised to this system of classification, though in all other lines, no bids are awarded to firms that do not establish their ability to perform the job adequate ly, usually by pceting bond, the bond ing houses having already checked up on their equipment and ability to per form their contracts. In addition, the specifications prop er had been so changed as to elimi nate virtually all guesswork, so that actual prices might be fixed for ev ery operation involved in printing, and put every Item of printing on a cost basis to be computed entirely from the cost of composition plug the cost of press work, binding and stitch ing. Experienced printers who have ana lyzed the new specifications declare that in their estimation they repre sent the last word in taking the guess work out of printing costs, and that as now revised, both the printers and the state should save money under a contract let on the basis of these spec ifications. , However, the printing commission did not seem to be much impressed with the new specifications and did not even complete a preliminary ex amination of them, adjourning to meet on the call of the governor later. But one thing is certain, and that is that the State must soon have a printing contract. And since the printing commission has twice de clined bids on the basis of the old contract, it must either adopt a new one pretty soon, or revert to the old one. In the meantime the present State printers insist that Governor McLean is personally holding up the entire proposition through his desire to ne gotiate as close a contract as possible in order to add it in as another feath er in his economy cap. To which claim neither the printing commission no& 4h* governor ha)? any answer. However, there seems to be a ten dency on the part of some members of the printing commission to feel that the governor started the move to untangle the printing tangle, and now, «s it Incomes more tangled, to let him extricate both himself and the commission.

ANOTHER REPORT IN MARY JANE BAILEY CASE Chemist In New Report Says Body Did Not Contain Enough Poison To Cause Death. Enid, Okla., Sept. 29.— (A I ) —Faced with a revised pathological report shoeing there was not enough poison in the viscera of Mary Jane Bailey to have proved fatal, the state today announced it would continue the pre liminary hearing of Mary-Atkinson.. with' slaying the 18 year old minister’s daughter. Dan Mitchell, county attorney, who fiiled a charge of murder against Miss Atkinson when chemists first reported that the viscera showed poison enough to have caused death, indicated the revised report was entirely unexpected.

Charles Bailey, gray haired father of the dead girL Mitchell said that Dr. W. H. Bailey, Oklahoma City chemist, who made the poison test, called him late Tuesday night and told him of the negative findings. ‘‘l’ve bad news for you” Mitchell said Bailey told him. “I have not found sufficient poison in the viscera to cause death.” Stewart Bailey, 16 year old son of the minister, and one of the four Bailey children who became seriously ill when Mary Jane was stricken, was the first to testify at the hearing. He declared Miss Atkinson “kissed dad more than once” the day following Mrs. Bailey’s funeral.

Paris, Sept. 29.—OP)—The case of Theresa Neumann, blind girl of Hon ners Reuth, German, who suddenly recovered her sight in 1924 after a period of intense religious devotion, has attracted the attention of the In ternational Congress for Phsychic Research to such a degree that an international committee has been ap pointed to visit her at the close of the Congress.
