THE CONCORD DAILY TRIDUNE
Sjgj^H
Senators Force Dawes to Change His
Tune.
By CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer
t r Washington, February 1. —Mnybe
Charles G. Dawes has discovered by
now that a vice r president’s place is
to be seen and not heard.
Dawes made a speerfi over the rn-
I dio one night, roasting the Senate, as
usual, for its dilly-dallying. He
mauled the table - so, though all by
himself with a radio instrument, that
(he nearly put the machinery out of
commission. It was a great speech
and probably would have gone down
I in history if it hadn't been followed
by an unfortunate 'anti-climax.
Tn the course of bis remarks, the
vice president appeared to be hitting
at Senator Jim Reed in particular.
Jim Reed is aB undesirable a man as
there is in the Senate to hit at, un
less you land hard enough to kill
him.
* * *
He had a few things to say him
self in the Senate the next day—not
much, as he explained, because he
was aware the vice president couhln’t
talk back in the Senate chamber, and
he didn’t think it would be fair to
attack a, man who was unable to de
fend himself.
However, he did mention that what
had been said about him in tlfat radio
speech wasn’t so. He also dropped
a few observations concerning “hon
or” and “decency.”
Whereupon Dawes did make a re
joinder. even it wasn’t strictly ac
i cording to Hoyle for him to do so.
He said he hadn’t meant the Mis
sourian.
• • *
If he’d let it go at that, all might
have been well.
But he didn’t. Instead of leav
ing the iinpaession that he’d just been
generalizing, lie made the fatal mis*
take of wishing his compliments into
„, somebody else. Se said he’ meant
S' Senator Copeland.
a Senator Copeland jumped on him
instanter.
* * *
As it proved, his ease against Cope
land was no better than his case
against Reed, so nothing remained for
him to do but apologize and declare
lie hadn't meant the New Yorker,
either.
Well, whom did he"ihean, anyway?
Oh, he didn't mean anybody or any
thing.
FARMER URGED
TO PUT UP A FIGHT
Fertilizer Manufacturers Decline to
Sell Them Except Through Deal
ers.
Greetwboro, Jan. ' 30.—Refusal of
fertilizer manufacturers to sell to the
North Carolina Farmers' Union un
less* the union buys through deal
ers and pay five per cent more than
tile price named to dealers has stir
red officials of the union to action.
"The gales were closed to the
farmer,” R. W. H. Stone, of Guil
ford county! president of the anion,
said today. “We told them we would
I pay cosh sight draft, the fertilizer
to be shipped in carload lots, bill of
lading attached, but they turned me
down flat.”
Congress shall hear from \his, he
said, and he is sending a letter to
secretary of every local of the
union urging that every member
write to his Congressman, demand
ing that the consumer be allowed to
buy fertilizer in carload lots from
the manufacturer as cheaply ns it is
sold to dealers. I
Mr. Stone went to Richmond. Bal
timore, Charleston. Norfolk and Wil
mington to the big manufacturers of
fertilizers and offered to titke 112,000
tons of fertilizer, for cash, but was
told that he would have to buy
through the' dealer, at five per cent
more.

FkanU Butler, AeeeriHng to His
Wife. Was Slain By Men' Who
Came For Liquor.
Moihanton. Jan. 30.—Frank But,
ler was killed this morning about 2 ,
o’clock, at liis home about fifteen
miles south of Morgnnton, on the (
Shelby roiul. According to the story
of the killing ns told by the wife of

wanted to buy some liquor. Her hus
band told them that he would go
with them to get it. He dressed and
went.
When they returned, the womau
states, she hom'd the car stop and
heard what she thought was the ear'
backfiring but that was evidently
two shots. Her husband came into
the house, and sat down on the bed
and said 'Those fools have shot me.”
He fell over on the bed and died
instantly.
The woman said she did not know ]
nnytfiing about what took place |
while they were gone or where they
went.' There were two bullet holes in
Butler’s chest. out* bullet going
through hits heart. The men drove off
and the wife does not know their
names. She suid her husband knew
them and that she wp.uki know them
iif she were to' see them again, but
that she didn’t know whp they were
or where they were from. Butler’s
body was brought to Morgnnyfn this
afternoon to be prepared for burial.
Besides hits wife he is survived by
'Dvo children.
Chinese Do Not Care For American
Motion Pictures.
San Francisco, Feb. 1. —OP)—The
spoken drama has kept the motion
picture out of San Francisco's China
town and the reason is that unless a
Chinese lias lived in the United States
many years, he does not understand
the silver sheet play.
Among its theatenc Chinatown
boasts of two of the-.legitimate varie
ty , give (lightly performances.
One begins at C p. m. and continues
until 12.15 tile next morning. The
other starts at 7 p. m. and ends about
midnight.
The plays are the same as are pro-,
dueed in theaters in China and take
from five to six hours to unfold the
plot. The prices are th> same in
both houses, the highest being $1.751
for box seats.
If a patron goes to the theater at
0 p. m.. the prices for the best seat
left is 50 cents, and for the poorest
25c. If the ticket is bought at 10 p.
m., the highest priced seat is 35c.
All seats are numbered and if the
ticket -holder .‘leaves his seat even a
few minutes after he first occupied it,
it will not be resold and no other per
son can occupy it. This rule has pre
vented many a tong war that former
ly started because a theatergoer oc
cupied a sent that he had not pur
chased.

Morehead, lawyer and capitalist of
this city, aged 36, died at his home
here today, after an illness of several
months, death being due to sinus

A portly but very polite man sat

“Pardon me." he said, “but what
would you say if I sat on yor hat?"
“Suppose you sit on it and then ask
me?" suggested Wilkins, sarcastically.
“I have already doue so,” said the
portly man, imperturably.
