cart Mentioned in Case.
Washington, Fob. 15.— UP) —A war
rant for the arresj of the Karl of
V’raveu was issued today by the De
partment of Labor.
Issued at the request of Commis
sioner Curran in charge of immigra
tion affairs at New York, the war
rant will be forwarded to him for ser
vice. It was not known at the de
thnt the Earl already had departed for
Canada.
l*he charges contained in the war
rant are that the Earl is guilty of an
offense involving moral turpitude in
his elopement to Africa with the
Countess *of Cathcnrt. who has been
neiiied admission to this country on
similar grounds.
Should the Count return to New
York the warrant would be served and
he would be given a~ hearing at Ellis
Island. Meanwhile Wilton J. Lam
bert, of this.city, and William A. De
,. ford of New York, attorneys for the
•J Countess, went forward with their
plans to contest the order of Com
missioner Curran in New York for
deportation of the countess. They in
tend to make the point that the immi
gration act covering such cases is not
and that it would be an
unwarranted exercise of discretion for
the government to apply the act to
the Countess.
A hearing in the case will be grant
ed by the board of review at the La
bor department late today.

“The primary purpose," he said,
“wajs to get him out of this country.”

LAW QUESTION
NOT DISCUSSED
Court Did Not Touch on

Commutate Sentence of]
Condemned Man.
New York. Feb. 15.—CP)—Gerald !
I<'hapmnn, convicted bandit and mur- j
derer, today lost his appeal to the U.
8. Circuit Court of Appeals for a
writ of habeas corpus. The appelate
court sustained the order of Federal
Judge Thomas,'of Connecticut in dia
| missing Chapman’s application for the
i writ.
Chapman, under sentence to hang
on March 3 for the murder of a New

only a short part of a 25 year sentence

IS JUDGE BRYSON TO
OPPOSE CLARKSON?
Hire Retirement Flrom Superior
Court Bench Leads to Gossip—
Marßao Also a Prospect.
Asheville, Feb. 14—Announcement
that Judge Thnd D. Bryson of the
Twentieth Judicial District of North
Carolina, is preparing to retire from
the Superior Court bench, is of more
than ptn.sie- interest to AVestern
and many hnve extisi
ordinary political significance.
Local students of Democratic
party affaire are inclined to wonder
if Judge Bryson is preparing to seek
the nomination for associate justice
of the North Carolina Supreme
court. There is considerable specula
tion of the effect of his action on
the eandidifey of an Asheville man
for that place; such a man, for in
stance, as Judge Cameron F. Mae-
Rne, of the local police court, who
has been often mentioned in this
connection.
There is firm belief that both
Judge Bryson and Judge Macßae
will not run. It is no less strong
that one of them will seriously con
sider opposing Justice llcrr-ot Clark
son, of Charlotte. who term is
about to expire. While there seems
no disposition to dispute the fitness
of Justice Clarkson, a growing feel
ing is encountered hereabout that
the vast intramontane territory
lying west of the Blue Ridge should
have a representative on the state's
highest court.
Naturally Asheville is interested
in the suggested candidacy of its
own son. Judge Macßae. It betrays
no secret to say that he is consider
ing the matter seriously, but is ex
hibiting no disposition to offer if
another extreme westerner tins or if
the elder member of the Buncombe
bar feel he should remain out. Some
of his friends have told him they will
assume responsibility for his candi
dacy and take charge of its promo
tion if he wants to run. He is known
to have advised them to take no offi
cial action along this line until they
have sounded out the opinion gen
erally prevailing as to the timeliness
of his entry.
Will Save Duke Foundation Form Six
to Eight Millions.
Durham, Feb. 15.—The clause in
the federal tax bill, already adopted
by the Senate and now in confer
ence, making thf 1926 plan retro
active as to inheritance taxes, would
save the Duke Foundation from SO,-
000,000 to. $8,000,000. of which 90
per cent, of the annual income, esti
mated at from $300,000 to $400,000,
would be used for charity patients in
hospitals in North and South Caro
lina.
Dr. Watson S. Rankin, former sec
retary of the North Carolina public
health service), estimates tf.int this
money, if the bill becomes a law, will
permit 21,550 more charity patients
to be treated each year in the charity
wards of hospitals of the two states.
Dr. Rankin has charge of the hos
pital and orphanage work provided
by the lates James 11. Duke in the
Duke- Foundation, which would give
$1 a day for each bed used for char
ity cases in hospitals of North and
South Carolina.

LENTEN SEASON IS
ABOUT TO BEGIN
Will Be Especially Observed in the
Episcopal and Catholic Churchfs.
New York, Feb. 15.—Tomorrow is
Shrove Tuesday, celebrated in many
cities both in America and abroad
with the annual Mardi Gras festiv
ities. The following day will be Ash
Wednesday, marking the beginning
of Lent, when social gaities will
give place to a season of fasting and
prayer for forty days. Lent will be
especially observed in the Episcopal
and Catholic Churches, where special
services will be held on Ash Wednes
day, Holy Week. Good Friday, Palm
Sunday, and ending with the grand tri
umphant service on Easter Sunday.
The word "Lent,” which is derived
from the Anglo-Saxon “lenten
spring.” from the season in which it
occurs, is used to designate the solemn
period of devotion and abstinence
which has from early times preceded
the feast of Easter. It is mentioned
as early ns the time of Irenaeus in
the second century and he speaks of
it ns not merely something of his own
time but of much earlier date. It
-was arranged to extend over a period
of forty days (not including Sun
days) in order to correspond with the
forty days of Christ's temptation in
the wilderness and so to <teach the
great test to which every human life
must he subjected to prepare it for its
appointed duty and victory.
It is, in fact, an episode in the
Christian life not to be evaded by
those who make the year the follow
ing of the pathway of Christ through
human life from the manger of Beth
lehem which is in sight at Christ
mas to the triumph of Easter. Al
though this pathway leads inevitably
to the Passion and those who learn
the meaning of that Passion in the
voluntary observance of the Lenten
will not, says the church, pleuch from
the temptations and sorrows of life
when they come iu the sure course of
experience.
Tlie forty days of Lent, ecclesiasti
cally, call upon the. faithful children
of the church for abstinence from the
ordinary social pleasures, for special
devotion to the duties of the Chris
tian life, for the exercise of self-re
straint and self-sacrifice and for a
general bracing of the tone of the
spiritual life by devout reference to
the standard set by Christ Himself.
Up to the sixth century the Lenten
period covered only thirty-six days,
this being a tenth of the year and,
figuratively, a tithe of the Christian's
time. It is generally accepted that
the time was lengthened by Pope
Gregory the Great.
Ash Wednesday, the first day of
Lent, is so called because in the Rom
an Catholic Church it begins with the
solemn ceremony that has given the
day its name. After a supplicatory
service, the devout approach the altar
rail and the priest places ashes on
the head of each, reciting in Latin.
“Remember, man, that thou art dust,
and shalt return to dust.” The ashes
are customarily obtained by burning
the palms of the previous year.
The administration of the ashes
originally was made only to public
' penitents, who had to apear before
the church door with bare feet and in
penitential garb. After their pen
ances were declared, they were admit
ted and the rite was performed. Oth
er persons were allowed to jbin them,
out of affection and humility, aud the
rite finally became general. The fast
( of Ash Wednesday is more rigorously
observed than any other day of the
church year except the four days im
mediately preceding Easter.
The carnival, of which tomorrow is
the last day, comes from the Latin
I words meaning a farewell to flesh
, meat, and the name Shrove Tuesday
, implies n day whereon it is fitt’ng
that the faithful attend confession
I and be shriven.

THE COTTON MARKET
Easier in Early Trading, After Open

Points.
New York. Feb. 15.—OP)—The cot- !
ton market was easier in today's early
trading owing to lower Liverpool
cables, less favorable reports from the
cotton goods trade in Lancashire, and
continued reports of ■'good-progress
with early farm work in the South.
The opening was barely steady at a
decline of 5 to 11 points. Active
mouths soon showed net losses of 15 .
to 11) points, May selling down to
19.40 and October to 1818. There ,
was price fixing on a scale down, and
a good many contracts were absorbed
cn the decline, but local. Wall Street t
and southern selling gave tile market ]
a rather unsettled appearance. The
prices were within a point or so olf
the lowest at the end of the first hour.
