• ASSOCIATED 0 • PRESS @ • DISPATCHES & VOLUME XXIII DEMANDS OF ITALY ME UNPOPULAR IR WITMOf GREEKS Athens Thinks Italy Has De manded Too Much For the Killing of Five Italians Ser ving on Frontier Mission. AMBASSADORS ARE 1 TO TAKE ACTION Probably Will Ask League of Nations To Take Up the Matter—Greece Ready to Pay Indemnity As Asked. Athens. Aug. 30 (By the Associated Press). —It is understood here that Greece is not disposed to accept the hu miliating conditions imposed by the Ital ian government in its note demanding satisfaction for the killing of the five Italian members of Greco-Albauinn fron tier delimitation mission. In the event a deadlock is reached in settling the affair. Greece, it is under stood,. will propose to submit the ques tion to the league of nations. The Greek government is disposed to express its profound sorrow over the . massacre and to indemnify the families of the Italian officials who were murder ed on Greek teritory. The Italian government's note to Greece demanded that the Greeks pay au indemnity of 50.000,0110 lire, salute the Italian fleet, and punish the Greeks re sponsible for the assassinations. An an swer was required in 24 hours. An Athens cablegram last night said Premier Gonatas had informed the cor respondents that while Greece did not find all the Italian demands acceptable she would agree to some of them and ask for modification of the others. The Ath ens government signified its intention of replying to the note within the time lin.it. Council of Ambassadors Takes Action. Paris, Aug. 30 (By the Associated Press). —The inter-allied council of am bassadors today decided to send a tele gram to the Greek Government on be half of the French, English and Italian governments, jointly protesting “with the energy that the gravity of the cir cumstances warrant against the ournge of which the Italian mission of the com bi ission for elimination W» the Albanian frontier has been the victim." The telegram further invites the Greek government to institute au immediate in vestigation into the circumstances sur rounding the massacre. It is expected in some quarters that the action of the ambassadors council may be followed! by some move in the council of the league of nations now in session at Geneva as both Greece aud Italy are members of the league, It is held by students of the league here that the council should take cogni zance of the situation and make immedi ate representations to Italy in view of her ultivatuin even though no appeal has been made by Greece for league in tervention. PLASTERER AT $lO4 OR A PROFESSOR AT S4O? The /'White Collar” Jobs Have Been Invaded by Overalls Pay. Washington, Aug. 30 (Capital News Service). —The report that plasterers’ wages of sio4 and more a week are causing student ministers and other pro fessional men to take up the trowell in Evaustow’n. 111., where work on a new hotel is in progres., has excited much interested comment by educators in the nation’s capital. Ministers have been indigant that a divine deserted his church for the opportunities to earn more money putting up walls and engi neers have been up in arms because a graduate civil engineer is said to have refused a professorship in order to don overalls and work with lime and sand. “There are much better things in the world than money,” said a prominent. Washington, D. 0., minister, who re fused to be quoted in criticism of a broth er churchman. "Men do not seek the ministry for its material rewards. To desert a pulpit because of greater finan cial reward in plastering or any other occupation, is to quit in the middle of the fight, which does more harm to individ ual, the nation, and the character than ten times the wages earned could pay for.” That many teachers in schools resign to .take up more profitable lines of work is a confessed evil of the American pub lic school system. But it is generally felt that the answer to the problem does' not lie in restricting the profits of mnn ual or skilled labor, but in making teach ing, the ministry, and other “white collar jobs” morp attractive by a more just scale of salaries.

The Concord I)aily Tribune ROTARY MEETING > Helds Hospital For County as Principal Subject For Discussion at Meeting. The regular weekly meeting of the Concord Rotary Club was held at the Y yesterday. The meeting was featured by a discussion of a proposed county hospit al for Concord a’ud Cabanus aud much interest in the subject was manifested. Mr. L. T. Hartsdl was chairman of the meeting and the first speaker was I>r. S. W. Ilankin. Doctor Bankin opened his remarks by declaring that the great est need of the community was a hos pital where the "sins of omission" in not properly caring for the afflicted could be obviated. He declared that the medi cal. profession of the county was a unit in advocating the establishment of the proposed hospital and he emphasized the advantages of u public institution, where nil patients would be received and all doctors welcomed over the restricted method of a private institution. John M. Oglesby followed Dr. Rankin. He advocated the establishment of a modern hospital and emphasized the idea previously suggested iu * the press that the hospital be builf as a memorial to the men who served from Cabarrus in the nation’s wars, thereby honoring men who gave their lives for humanity by es tablishing an institution that would serve humanity. Mr. Hartsell concluded the progrant by giving a clear and concise statement of the provisions of the law ‘ governing the methods by which the county could establish the hospital. He stated that, upon a petition signed by 150 citizens— fifty from the city and one hundred and fifty from outside the city—the board of county commissioners would be required to call an election. He declared that the expense would not entail more than a very small advance in the tax rate if the bonds were distributed over a period of years, which could be done under the statute. Mr. Hartsell particularly emphasized that the hospital would be open to all the people of the county and to all the doctors of the county; that it would be under the charge and supervision of a board of seven, none of whom are phys icians. This board would have the abso lute direction of the hospital with author ity to employ superintendent, etc.. Slid its members are to be elected by the vote of the people. The members of the board, lie stated, must serve without pay. At the conclusion of the program. I’resident Rankin appointed a committee to serve witli the previous Committee on ways and means of providing a hospital. Tlie committee is composed of L. T. Hartsell. John M. Oglesby’ and A. R. Hoover. Luther T. Hartsell, Jr., a new member, of the Concord bar, was the guest of John. M.

IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS AT HOME AND ABROAD Cooperation Hoped For—England Has Immigration Problems Too. Washington, Aug. 30 (Capital News Service). —For many years the Depart ment of Labor has been trying to make an agreement with overseas countries ta enable American authorities to examine yvould-be emigrants in their homelands. Every time the subject has been broached vigorous opposition has come from the foreign countries. "We are glndj to learn that Sir Auck land favors the selection abroad, says Mr. Henning, of the department, speak ing of the former British Ymbas sador’s report on Ellis Island., “and we hope that his Government wilt take a similar view. Every time we propose this method of hadling emigrants, foreign governments protest that it is an invasion of their sovereignty. “A bill was introduced in the closing days of the last Congress to require all prospective emigrants to America to answer n long questionaire furnished by the American vice consuls • abroad. Undoubtedly this measure will be pressed in the next session of Congress. The Department of Labor is considering Commenting on the report. Secretary of Labor James Davis, said: “British officials are generally fa miliar with onr immigration laws, and it would be a simple matter for them to determine before a British national starts for this country, whether he is admissible. Through the control of pass ports- this could be regulated with ease.” Great Britain has an immigration problem also. Recent British statistics show that nearly 1,000 aliens were re fused permission to land in the United Kiiigdoniduring April. May, and .Tune. A total of 87,053 alien passengers, ex cluding emigrants in transit, landed in the United Kingdom during the tbre“ months’ period, and 74,(583 embarked, while 0(57 were refused permission to land. In the corresponding months 'of last year 87.(516 aliens landed, (54,213 embarked, and 704 were refused permis sion to lnnd.

T. B. PRICE Chris*. He Said. Is the Inly Man Who Never Failed. (By the Associated' Press.! Lake Junaluska, Aug. 30.—Rev. Thurs ton B. Price, evangelist of the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, in a sermon this ntoraitig b; ten the Bible and evan gelistic conference at the Southern Meth odist Summer Assembly here, declared that; the church is not a failure, but that if the members of the church would study more closely the teachings and life of Jesus Christ they could make it much more successful. “He shall not fail.” the words of prophecy spoken by Isiali. was the evan gelist’s text. The text refers to Jesus Christ. “If this statement of my text," he be gan. "had been spoken about any other man that aver walked, the face of the earth, it would have been proved false long ago. Men have lived, it is true, whose power and fame seemed to be fixed and their ultimate success an as sured fact, but histofy is otic long list of their final failures in many ways.” Christ, he said,, is the only man who never failed, whose life was crowned with everlasting success. The church, having its foundation iu Christ and hi* teachings, is not a fail ure. lie reasoned. When honest and thoughtful men are inclined to say that the church is a failure it is not because of the church as a whole, but because of individual members of the church aud their errors, the evangelist declared. “We need not fail,” he continued “if we would only learn from a few out standing facts His everyday life why it was that He was such a perfect success iu His life and contact with men as well as in His great plan, laid in so short a time, for the salvation of the rest of the world.” Rev. Mr. Price reviewed the life of <’heist, emphasizing His ability to master Himself, to be democratic and mix with tlie mob, even though born a king. "Christ did great and mighty things, but he never grew proud over them,’ said the evangelist. “When u man grows proud and thinks lie ‘has arrived,’ the time has come for that man to ‘step off,' and lie usually does that very tiling. Let us keep such a real big task just ahead of us that we will never have tyne to grow proud and gloat over what little we already have done.” Johnson Not Certain About Candidacy. (By (he Associated Press.) Chyenne, Wyo., Aug. 30.—United States Senator Hiram Johnson, on his way to his home in California after near ly a year’s nbsence, declared here lust night he has not made up his mind whether lie will be a candidate for the republican Presidential nomination in 1024, but lie expects to reach a decision before starting eastward for the Congres sional session beginning in December.

Chicago, Aug. 30—A woman turned and twisted restlessly upon her cot in tlie Women Annex of.the West Chicago Avenue police station-tonight torn with anxiety and remorse-.*Her l!)-ycar-oUI son lay in Alexian Brothers' Hospital, a bullet wound through his neck, in flicted by her. If a relapse occurs, the lad cannot live, the doctors say. “I’m sorry now—so sorry," moaned tlie mother, Mrs. Rose Siiniz.

"Today., when he got home at 6:30 after rambling around nil night with a bunch of wild flelows, 1 tried to make him clean up and go look for a job. “ 'lf you insist on getting money out of nve, I can go. out and steal all you want.

" ‘l'll kill you before I’ll see you start ed on your way to t lie gallows,’ I told him, pointing the gun threateningly. “‘You dare not shoot,’ he said, and threw up his arms and mocked me. “I was beside myself.
