CHARLOTTE GUNMAN
IS SOUGHT AGAIN
Romeo Padgett. Charged With Shoot
ing Officer. Escape* From Jail.
Charlotte, Nov. IS. —Romeo Pad
gett, charged with shooting Policeman
Henry Mosely in a gun battle here
in September, escaped from the coun
ty jail tonight with five companions.
The absence of the prisoners was
discovered by jail attaches about
7:30 tonight, and it is believed they
made their escape less than half an
hour previous, officers said. The
men had sawed two iron bars from
a corridor window 16 feet above the
•street and had used a blanket as a
rope ladder to lower themselves to
freedom.
Those escaped with tne alleged
gunman were:
Lendel Sherrel and John McKay,
sentenced today to six months on a
liquor charge; R. E. Orr, serving 12
months for larceny; Pearl Carpenter
and Turner Sinclair, awaiting trial
on a charge of auto theft in default
of a SIO,OOO bond.
Pedgett’s case occupied the atten
tion of court officials today when de
fense attorneys abandoned efforts to
reach an agreement with the State on
the amount of bond and announced
they would seek his release on a writ
of habeas corpus tomorrow. State‘s
officers had refused to consider a
bond of less than SIO,OOO.

THE CONCORD TIMES
CAPTAIN GILES IS
OFF AGAIN ON NOP
ACROSS THE OCEAN
Left San Francisco Early
This Morning on Flight
to Honolulu—Going On
to New Zealand.
WEATHER GOOD
AT THE START
Had no Trouble Getting
Plane, Weighing More
Than 5,000 Pounds, to
Take to the Air.
Miss Field, San Francisco, Nov. 22.
— (J 3 )—Uaptain Frederick A. Giles,
British flyer, took off at 7:24 a. m.
today in a second attempt to fly to.
Honolulu on the first leg of a pro
jected flight to New Zealand.
Profiting by the previous experi
ence, Giles made the takeoff with
ease, and his plane, weighing more
than 5,000 pound and loaded with 390
gallons of gasoline, gained altitude
easily.
Field officials said the flyer got off
the runway in twenty second. Af
ter clearing the field he struck out
over San Francisco bay at an altl
tud» of about 200 feet.
Captain Giles’ last words were:*.
“You will hear from me in a day or
so.”
The plane passed Land’s End, the
westernmost point of San Francisco,
at 7:39 a. in., and struck out at sea.
The lookout, station of the Marine
Department of the Chamber of Com
merce reported that Captain Giles
was sighted over the Farrallone Is
lands, thirty miles out, at 7 :50 a. m.
Hatless, without goggles or helmet,
and dressed in light business suit,
Captain Giles donned only a life belt
as added trappings for the 2,400-mile
flight. He carried no radio, no life
raft, no parachute, and no sextant,
being unable to use the navigation
instrument.
Thus equipped, he trusted a good
bit to luck, ability to guess the
amount of his drift, and the time hon
ored method of dead reckoning to fly
over a trackless waste of water which
already has claimed seven flyers who
attempted the feat.
Captain Giles originally planned the
overseas hop last August, when he en
tered the Dole flight competition, and
essayed the fly from Detroit to San
Francisco, the starting point. He
failed to reach the destination because
of a series of minor mishaps.
Several weeks ago he again head
ed toward Sah Francisco in his bi
plane, named the Wada, in honor of
Miss Wanda Hessy, of Wyandotte,
Mich., sister of the builder of the ship.
That time he came to grief at Elko,
Nevada, when in taking off he made
a ground loop, and bady damaged
the machine.
The plane was crated and sent here
for repairs. After days of waiting
for favorably weather he took off last
Saturday, but was forced to return
because of a heavy fog twenty miles
out.
TEXTILE BOOM
SEEN IN SOUTH
E. H. Green Notes Improvement in
Southern Textile Situation in Re
cent Months.
Spartanburg. Nov. 17. —That th°re
has been a general improvement in
the textile situation with the aouin,
as ever, a land of industrial promise,
was noted by E. Farnham Greene,
president of Lockwood, Greene and
company, architects and engineers
and officials of the Pacific mills, in
an interview here today.
Mr. Greene was in Spartanburg
for a visit to the Pacific plant at
Lyman and the plant at Pelzer. He
left today for Columbia and will re
turn to New York from there.
While all sorts of fine goods might
be manufactured in the south the
transition from the northern states
would be gradual. Mr. Greene said.
The Lyman cotton plant was run
ning night and day shifts and the
bleacbery requiring extra time, he
pointed out. More color cloth—col
ored print work was begun at the
plant sveral months ago—was turn
ed out at Lyman last week than for
any like period. Mr. Greene said.
Mr. Greene was on his semi-annual
visit in southern territory.

TOWELER FANS SELECT
MYTHICAL ALL-STATE
FOOTBALL FANS
Jack McDowail Named Captain.—
Shuler, Salisbury Boy, Is Given
Place.
Kannapolis, Nov. 18. —With the
close of the season just n few days off
and the big Thanksgiving classics
proving a most stimulating topic for
discussion everywhere, it is an ideal
time to select a mythical all-state col
legiate football team. Red hot fans
of this city, headed by Runt Harri
son, Apex Gillara and Garren Tate,
today offer this aggregation for your
approbation. Save your brickbats for
the tax collectors!
State College and Duke University,
each with three players, ’contribute
the largest quota of stars to this team.
Carolina and Wake Forest furnish
two apiece while Davidson lands only
one.
The celebrated Jack McDowail, of
North Carolina State, tops all others
for the quarterback job, according to
the fans. He also is their choice
for captain.
Dick Grey, captain of the Davidson
Wildcats, who is chockfull of football
sense and generally does the right
thing at tbe right time, is placed at
left halfbacks And of course Jan
hoska, of Duke, and Coxe, of Wake
Forest, land the other two backfield
berths on the club.
To begin at the beginning, which is
left end, the fan flock of Toweler
Town named Goodwin, of State, for
mer Greensboro high school star.
Phelphs, who has been a valuable man
to Wake Forest throughout the sea
son, is played at left tackle.
The left guard position puzzled the
fans most but after much considera
tion it* was handed to Vaughn, of the
state champions.
A gridster whose experience at
Charlotte high school taught him just
when to leave his position in the line
to break up a forward pass attack or
end run ; who knows enough football
to play in his position on the scrim
mage line when an opponent has only
a yard to gain on a clown, and who
tackles just as efficiently as any mem
ber of the team is regarded and se
lected as by far the best pivot player
in the state. His name is Schwartz
and the institute he represents is
called the University of North Car
olina.
Shuler, of Carolina, eclipsed all
others at right guard in the opinion
of the pickers. An excellent right
tackle is found in Culp, of Duke Uni
versity. Bennett, also of Duke, one
of the best flank players in Tar
Heelia is placed at right end. Adept
in breaking up plays sent to him aneb
effective in blocking a tackle,, this
gridman proved to be one of the most
popular players picked on the all
star team.
For honorable mention, the fans of
fer the following for your approval,
or disapproval: ’
Warren and Childress, of State;
Adams and Buie, of Duke; Harrison
and Arrowood, of Davidson ; Phifer,
of Wake Forest, and Morehead, of
Carolina.

FOUR TAVVELERS AND
TOWELERS SIGNED BY
SALLY LEAGUE CLUBS
Kannapolis, No. 17. —Four players
who performed for the Concord Weav
ers and Kannapolis Towelers during
the past summer, have signed con
tracts to report to Sally League clubs
next spring. They are “Chink” Outen.
Harry Daugherty and “Mutt” Miller,
who go to Charlotte, and Wade Lefler,
who will join the Knoxville Smokies.
was a first baseman on the
1927 Kannapolis team. He came
here when “Scrappy” McAllister pull
ed up lame in the middle of the cham
pionship drive with Concord and
proved a regular whirlwind, both
afield and at bat.
“Mutt” Miller, one of those easy
going chaps, was with the Towelers
during the training session, but joined
Concord when the season got under
way. He hit exceptionally well for
a beginner and looked like a cold
million when it came to flychasing.
He/is a native of China Grove, where
he attend school and plays on the
Farm Life football club.
Outen, a North Carolina State Col
lege hoy. played rightfield for the
Weavers last summers. He was the
Weavers last summer. He was the
style and his dynamic stick work.
Fans in both towns feel as if the
Charlotte owners made one of their
best investments when they spent a
little money to sign this young out
fielder.
Daugherty also goes to Charlotte
from the Concord Weavers.
DEFEATED ACES NOW
ON THEIR WAY HOME
England is Baffled Over What Mis
fortune Halted Non-Stop Flight to
India.
London, Nov. 18. —Relieved by a
report from Warsaw that Captain R.
H. Mclntosh and Bert Hinkler landed
in southern Poland yesterday and
started toward London today, friends
of the fliers nevertheless still wonder
ed what misfortune defeated the at
tempt at a non-stop flight to India and
what course their plane, the “Princess
Xenia” followed in its long flight.
The first conjecture is that the avia
tors encountered adverse wealther con
ditions, lost their direction, and cir
cled blindly many hours. Another
guwss is that they turned back after
a forced descent farther to the south.
Arrival of the men in London, how
ever, was expected tonight to disclose
how far distant from surmise the de
tails may be.
Meanwhile England was watching
two other aerial voyages. John Car
bery who was Lord Carbery but has
renounced his title and taken steps to
become an American citizen —at the

Chamberlain Says League Has Made

(By International News Service)
London, Nov. 19.—Defending the
League of Nations against recent
criticisms regarding its failure to
bring about any solution of world
problems during its last session, Sir
Austen Chamberlain, Britain’s foreign
minister and Europe’s “dove of peace.”
admits that the League has not made
war an impossibility, far from it, but
emphatically states that it has made
war already much more difficult.
“There is no nation today, be it a
member of the League or not, which
can conduct its foreign policy as if
the league was not in existence.
“We have our ups and downs, w«
have our successes and our disap
pointments,” declared Sir Austen “but
you cannot judge the growth of a
great institution by the events of to
day, or of yesterday, or of tomorrow.
You must take a far wider vision.
“I say, however, be of good cheer:
the League is justifying itself, and
with the good will of the nations it
will preserve the peace of the world.”

PRESIDENT NOT IN
FAVOR OF PETITIONS
Does Not Want Them Circu
lated in His Behalf For
Presidency.
. Washington, Nov. 22.— UP) —
The first authoritative direct
statement of President Coolidge’s
1928 desires since the famous “I
do not choose to run” edict, came
from the White House today, and
it was an expression of Mr. Cool
idge’s desire that petitions on his
behalf be kept from circulation.
Unlike the “I do not choose”
statement, which was typewritten
and handed to newspaper men by
the President himself, today’s
outline of the President’s views
came in the usual routine of giv
ing to the press the attitude of
Mr. Coolidge on various topics
without authority to quote him
directly.
Mr. Coolidge has been Impor
tuned frequently during the sum
mer and fall to amplify his Black
Hills statement but to no avail.
Today’s exposition of the White
House views was brought about
by publication of th€ intention of
a supporter of Mr. Coolidge to
start an endless chain petition
urging his ' renomination. Mr.
Coolidge believed such petitions
would do no good.
