! DELAY COXCEKMXG. STATE
fair causes restlessness
Failure to Set Aside Land For Site
as Law Provides, Causing Worry to
Those Interested.
By J. C. BASKERVILL
Raleigh, Sept. 30.—Citizens of Ra
leigh and others keenly interested in
a North Carolina State Fair are be
ginning to grow restless at the delay
in the appointment of a board of di
rectors and at the failure of the gov
ernor and council of state to set aside
the 200 acres of state-owned land, ac
cording to the law making thie manda
tory upon them, enacted by the 1927
general assembly. Although there has
been an undercurrent of restlessness
for some time, this did not become
vocal until J. R. Weatherspoon, for
mer president of the North Carolina
Agricultural Society, that formerly
conducted the State Fair, declared that
the present delay is imperiling the
fair, - and that if it continues it may
be impossible to hold the fair inAhe
fail of 1928.
Just why Governor McLean has de
layed so long in naming the board
of directors for the State Fair, no
one seems to know, though the gover
nor has stated that he had the matter
under consideration but was not as
yet ready to make any announcement.
It is also known that he has already
made lat least one rather thorough
survey of all state-owned land within
the five-mile radius of Raleigh, as the
law* requires, and that he was accom
panied on this survey by Dr. E. C.
Brooks, president of State College,
who with the governor will be an ex
officio member of the board of direc
tors. The law requires that the mem
bers of the board consist of one mem
ber from each of the congressional
districts, with the governor, the presi
dent of State College and the director
of the department of conservation and
development as ex-officio members.
However, many of the fair enthusi
asts feel that no more time should be
lost in getting the fair program
launched and that unless the board of
directors is named speedily and the
tract of land for the fair site selected
and 6et aside quickly, that it will
be next to impossible to get things in
readiness for the fair by next fall.
“Buildings must be erected, the
grounds graded and gotten into ordeb
and a race track and grandstand con
structed,” said Mr. Weatherspoon,
“and all of this will require every bit
of time that can be had between now
and next fall.” Dr. Clarence Poe
was akso of the opinion that the direc
tors would need all the time they
could get, if they were to have a fair
next falL
However, it is generally understood
that the council of 6tate and the gov
ernor are still far form reaching any
conclusion as to the location of the
site. Some feel that dt should be
taken from State College land, but
the objection to this is that State
College cannot afford to part with
200 acres of its valuable farm land
which is already insufficient to meet
the needs of the college. Same argu
ment is advanced by the directors of
the State Hospital for the Insane
with regard to the hospital farm,
which has been mentioned as a pos
sibility. This narrows the proposi
tion down to locating the fair site
on a portion of the State prison farm
near Method. But the State is loath
to give away 200 acres of thie land,
since it is becoming exceedingly valu
able as possible real estate develop
ment land, extending westward as it
does from Meredith College toward
Dnrham. This land is valued from
SSOO upwards an acre.
So it ia altogether probable that
one of the causes of the present de
lay is due to an effort to work out
some plan whereby the State will
not have to set aside 200 acres of its
most valuable land for a State Fair
site, but find some equally fitting site
that will be less expensive to the
State.
But some action must be forthcom
ing soon or the wail at the delay will
become even louder and more insist
ent.
GARY SCHOOL STRIKE
APPARENTLY AT END
City Council Passes Ordinance Pro
viding For Separate Building For
Negro Students.
Gary, Ind., Sept. 29. —The strike
of several hundred Emerson high
school students, called because a score
of negro pupils were enrolled in the
school, appeared settled tonight after
the Gary city council passed to final
reading an ordinance to provide for
a separate school for the negroes.
One meeting this morning, attended
by several hundred students and the
school authorities, ended when the
strikers refused to compromise agree
ment. A second, held in the after
noon at the office of Mayor Floyd E.
Williams, -was attended by the strike
leaders and the school authorities, but
the results were not divulged.
It was variously estimated tonight
that from 400 to 1,400 of the school’s
2,800 enrollment were out on strike.
Aids to the President-
New York Sun. .
One of the most loosely defined of
fices under the Federal Government
is that of military and naval aids to
the President. The office is indefinite
as to its start and indefinite as to its
duties, except upon the social side.
In the latter respect the uniforms of
the aids and their bearing and pres
ence lend color and tone to all func
tions in contrast with the formal
dress of the President.
The aids are really traffic man
agers at receptions and at other big
and formal functions. They see that
everything goes all right, that all per
sons are properly presented and that
every one is kept moving. They must
know all of the social requirements in
just meeting the people, in handling
crowds and in meeting foreign po
tentages or other persons of great dis
tinction. They stand by and steer tne
President at military and naval re
views.
There ar«T two aids, a military aid,
usually of the rank of colonel in the
army, and a naval aid, usually o
the rank of caiitain in the nayy. Tn
naval aid is the commanding officer
of the Presidential yacht Mayflower.
Formerly the military aid had charge
of public buildings and grounds in
Washington, including the White
House, but this was recently changed,
add the military aid devotes himself
down and set upon a table, while the
members gathered around to bid for
him. The bids started at S2OO and
wetft fast up to SSOO, when he was
knocked down as a sale. The
who had made the bid peeled off SS(K
in cash and handed it up to York, who
rammed it down to the bottom of his
breeches pocket, said ‘Thanks, and
walked out, cool as a cucumber,

American because it it chartered by

it is national because it is a popular

Stamp Sees Hope of Congress Return,
ing All Allen Property.
(By International News Service)
Washington, Sept. 30. —Confidence
that the next session of Congress, con
vening in December will enact legis
lation for the return of alien prop
erty to German, Austrian and Hun
garian owners was expressed here to
day by C. Bascom Slemp, just back
from a two months stay in Europe.
Slemp, former secretary to Presi
dent Coolidge, is engaged as counsel
to present the alien owners and the
German government in pushing this
legislation before Congress. While
in Europe he conferred at Berlin with
Dr. Wilhelm Kiesselbach, German
commissioner of the German-Ameri
can mixed claims commission and
other representatives of the German
property owners and the German gov
ernment. At these conferences plans
for the legislative efforts this winter
•were gone over iu detail.
The same note of confidence was
voiced by Dr. Karl von Lewinski,
German agent of the mixed claims
commission.
The iqixed claims commission now
has before it between 200 and 300
claims on which agreement has not
been reached and awards made. The
next meeting of the commission will
take place the latter part of October
following Dr. Kisselbach’s return, to
Washington about October 20th.
Slain Woman’s Valuables Go At

night of last' May 9, go on sale to
morrow at her Montford avenue home.
Sale of the household effects was

Kaolin Production Increases in 1V26.
National Resources.
An increase of more than eleven
per cent in the production of Kaolins
in North Carolina is recorded for
1926 over the previous year in a re
port just issued by the United States
i Bureau of Mines. Output ot uie
mineral last year was 20,769 tons
and for the previous year was 18,649.
The. 1926 output was the largest
since 1923, when 23,793 tons were
furnished by North Carolina. Total
value of the product for the last year
was also the largest since the high
year of 1923, the 1926 material being
valued at $331,562 as compared with
$369,518 in 1923.
Average price per ton of kaolin iu
1926 decreased Blightly from the
two previous years, sls-95 being the
average last year; $16.60 in 1925 and
$16.34 in 1924.

ARE SOME PRISONERS
SERVING TOO LONG?
This Indicated in Report of L 8.
Whitley, Prison Inspector For the
State.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Sept. 30.—1 sit possible
that many prisoners in county convict
camps have served more than the
time to which they were sentenced
because of the careless manner in
which records of commitments were
kept, or because in some cases none
at all were kept.?
This appears as a strong possibility
in the light of revelations just made
by L. 1 G. Whitley, prison inspector
for the State Welfare Commission
and the State Board of Health, though
Mr. Whitley does not say so many
words. But for the first time many
of the prison camps are keeping ade
quate records of the names, date of
commitment and length of sentence
of the various prisoners, as a result
of a new law enacted by the 1827
general assembly requiring this to be
done. Formerly superintendent of
county prison camps merely “recollect
ed” a prisoner’s name and length of
sentence, or kept track of his prisoners
only with notes made by a lead pencil
on scratch paper.
But as a result of this new law,
most of the counties now have some
system of keeping a record of the
prisoners in the convict camps, since
the law requires “that the superinten
dent or some other person having
charge of the prisoners shall keep a
record showing the name, age, date
of sentence, length of sentence crime
for which convicted, home address,
next of kin and the conduct of each
prisoner received.” In fact, the act
provides virtually the same provisions
ak the law relating to the classifica
tion of prisoners in the state prison
and state prison camps.
Two years ago, when Mr. Whitley
first began his work of inspecting the
penal institutions of the state, he
found that only a few counties had
any system of records, and that these
were generally complicated, and that
in most of the counties it was the
custom to depend merely on the “re
collection” of the chain gang officials.
In one camp Mr. Whitley found
that the supervisor had no i(jea of the
length of sentences to be served by the
men ,and depended entirely on his
wife’s memory.
“I found in several counties,” says
Mr. Whitely, “that the only record
made of the addition of men to the
chain gang, was that their names and
sentences had been written with a
pencil on brown wrapping paper and
put away so carelessly that the weath
er had almost made them illegible.”
“I found some recprds kept on
ordinary scratch paper tablet with a
pencil. At one camp the tablet had
been lost and only came to light after
diligent digging around in the waste
pile. In another camp there were
three prisoners serving sentences about
whom the supervisor had no idea as
to the length of sentences or the of
fenses for which they were serving,”
Mr. Whitley commented.
DELUGE OF WINE
READY FOR TRADE
30,000,000 Gallons of Sacramental
Stock Stored on Coast, Says Mills.
New York W T orld.
Approximately 30,000,000 gallons of
sacramental stored in Cali
fornia.
All beer on tap is “needled.”
In all the night-club raids not one
bottle of genuine champagne has been
sized.
These are some of the statements
made by Major Chester P. Mills, for
mer prohibition administrator for
district, in the current Collier's Week-,
ly.
The huge stock of sacramental wine,
he writes, was made in anticipation
of a continued demand for at least
3,000,000 gallons annually in New
York. He traced an enormous leak
age, he declares, directly to prohibi
tion headquarters.
“Wine stores, supposedly connected
with synagogues, operated in flagrant
defiance of the law. Rabbis were en
titled to withdraw ten gallons of wine
a year for each member of their con
gregation ; but we found scores of
bogus rabbis holding permits for thou
sands of gallons” of wine a month.
And when we finally searched the rec
ords, it was discovered that instead
of bona fide names of congregations,
the lists were padded with names
copied from the telephone directory,
page after page. Os course, this could
not have been done without guilty
knowledge of dry department em
ployees.”
The port, sherry and muscatel
wines, which retailed at from $4 to
$lO a gallon cost only $1.20 a gallon
wholesale, he writes. He adds that
a well-organized ring hoodwinked
many foreign born rabbis by telling
them they had been appointed by the
government —paying them small royal
ties on the wine they
In all, he estinjates, the bootleg
profit in sacramental wine was more
than $10,000,000 a year until he
damped down on the wine stores in
the fall of 1926.
Another source of heavy leakage he
attributes to the “K,” or vinegar per
mits, which was stopped when his as
sistant, B. Barintz, suggested acetiz
ing the wine before letting it go to the
supposed vinegar markers. The buy
ers accepted it without complaint. -It
was found later they had discovered
a process for neutralizing the acid in
the wine. Prohibition investigators,
in turn, foupd that the neutralizing
agent, to be effective, had to be ap
plied within ten days.
“We refused to release wine for vin
egar manufacture/ until it has been
acetized and the acetone had remained
in it for at least ten days. This ef
fectively stopped bootlegging under the
pretense of vinegar-making.”
Beer, writes Major Mills, is the
most profitable article In the bootleg
gers’ catalog. “Half a keg can be
made for sl, sold at wholesale for
$26, and retail for SIOO, at 25 to 50
75ents a glass.”
He found an elaborate system of es
pionage maintained by the wildcat
breweries. Often, he writes, they em
ployed policemen to arrest spying dry
agents as loiterers.
He ascribes at least one unsolved
murder to a beer ring feud, but ab
solves the largest breweries from sus
picion of lawbreaking.
He ignored, he says, thousands of
complaints concerning sale of grape
juice and other products for wine
making and home brewing.
“It is not,” he concludes, “the job of
the federal government to suppress it,
and, with ot without legions of spies,
it cannot be suppressed.”
According to an Arab superstition,
the stork has a human heart and the
crow- the heart of a devil.
DONAHEY DECIDES
NOT TO RUN IN 1928
Tammany Sees Ohio Executive’s Ac
tion as Giving Smith State’s 48
Votes.
New York World.
Tammany Hall whs told Monday
that Governor Vic Donahey of Ohio
had decided to eliminate himself as a
presidential possibility, and seek the
Democratic senatorial nomination in
1928, to succeed Senator Simeon D.
Siess, whose term is expiring.
The information came from one of
the Smith leaders, who after several
months sounding of sentiment through
out the country, has brought back to
the Wigwam a report on the prospec
tive vote of the delegates from each
of the forty-eight states. •
Confirmation of the report was
awaited eagerly. The Wigwam was in
clined to accept it as true, and hailed
it as tantamount to placing Ohio’s
forty-eight votes in the Smith column
at the next convention. A consider
able part of Ohio had friendly lean
ings to Smith in 1924, though the ma
jority was held in line to give the
bulk of the vote to ex-Gov. Cox until
Smith had been eliminated.
It has been no secret that the Smith
movement in Ohio has been growing
recently. It is held, with Donahey
out, the delegates from that state
would be left with a choice between
two favorite sons, neither of whom
has any particular strength else
where.
Ex-Gov. Cox is not regarded as ev£n
a contender in 1928. Ex-Senator
Pomerene might have been taken se
riously until his recent defeat for the
Senate. In view of this' situation
the local politicians were quite cer
tain that if Donahey had decided to
run for the Senate, it was because he
expected the delegation from that
state to go to the New York gover
nor.
It was also reported in the Wig
wam yesterday that National Commit
teeman Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo,
had been advlked by Southern lead
ers that if at the outset of the con
vention it appeared Governor Smith
had &50 delegates it would not be
necessary to go through the process of
lifting the two-thirds rule in order
to nominate him.
Mr. Mack is said to have been given
to understand that several of the
southern leaders, rather than lose per
manently the protection the rule gives
the South, would prefer to enter into
an agreement to give the necessary
two-thirds to the first candidate re
ceiving a majority. AnKffig those who
are said to have written to Mr. Mack
to this effect is a prominent leader of
which is accounted one of
the states most hostile to the New
York governor.
The Tammany scout brought word
that Governor Martin of Arkansas
had declared for Smith and that there
was little the New York gover
nor would get the votes of the Ar
kansas delegation.
The World’s informant said he re
cently had been in touch with a prom
inent leader of Missouri, who had sug
gested the governor would make a big
showing against Senator Reed in that
state if both were entered in the pri
mary in Missouri. Governor Smith’s
own attitude, however, will probably
prevent any primary fight being made
for him, although some of his friends
think a good showing against Reed
in Missouri would have an important
effect in the convention.
It was emphasized that the man
who has made the survey has been
acting without the authority of the
New York governor, who several
months ago issued orders to his lieu
tenants that they were to do nothing
on his behalf. After trying to get
the governor to change his attiude,
the man finally took on himself the
task of sounding out the country.
