COUNTESS OF CATHCART
ORDERED EXCLUDED
Gnilt of Act Involving “Moral Turpi
tude” Is Ground for LaJjor Depart
ment’s Action.
Washington, Feb." 17.—The Count
ess of Cathcart lest her appeal for
admission to this country before the
labor department today and was or
dered excluded on the ground that she
had been guilty of an act involving
“moral turpitude.”
She is expected to ohal'euge the de
cision immediately t’arough a peti
tion to the district court in New
York for a writ of habeas corpus
which if issued not only would bring
the law in the ease up for judicial re
view but probably would have the ef
fect of permitting her to enter the
country under bond.
The labor department’s decision ap
proved the action of the immigra
tion officials in New York iu exclud
ing the countess and holding her at
Ellis Island when she admitted her
part in an elopment several years
ago with the Earl of Craven, who had
been admitted to the United States
with bis wife shortly before her ar
rival. The aegion was announced in
a statement made iiiblic by Assistant
j Secretary Waite late today after Sec
retary .Tames J. Davis had given hie
personal attention tr the case for two
days and had approved the findings
of the board of review before which
aatiiisel for the countess argued hi
appeal Monday. The secrets -y left
for a vacation in Florida a few min
utes before the sta'ement was made
public.

EDGE BILL PERMITS
BEER WITHOUT KICK
|
Senator’s New Proposal Would Let
Courts Pass on Percentage for In
toxication.
Washington, Feb. 17.—-. Vets and
drys are at it hammer and tongs here,
but the weapons are printed sheets.
Wet members of Congres purpose to
amend the Volstead act after carrying
the next Congress, but Wayne B.
Wheeler, spokesman ifor the Anti-
Saloon League, says they will do
neither.
Senator Edge, Republican, of New
Jersey, today offered a substitute for
his bill to increase the alcohol con
tent of beer in the Volstead act from
one-half of 1 per cent, to 2 3-4 per
cent. His new proposal is to legalize
all beverages, “non-intoxleating in
fact.” This would leave it -with the
courts to say whether or not beer or
wine was intoxicating. Mr. Wheeler
said tonight that his organization
would oppose any such proposition,
and predicted it never would reach a
vote in this Congress.
“I decided tot introduce this substi
tute bill," said Senator Edge, "because
of recent decisions of the federal dis
trict court and court of appeals es
tablishing the legal right,, under the
Volstead act, to manufacture cider
and grape juice for home consump
tion up to the point of prove intoxi
cation.
“It appealed to me, as this decision
disposed of all contention as to those
beverages, that to be consistent the
same formula should likewise be per
mitted for all other beverages, malt,
cereal or viaous.
“Again, this substitute bill removes
the highly disputed question of just
what percentage is or is not intoxi
cating. Some scientists say 2.75 is
apd some say it Therefore, if
we leave it to the courts, as the pro
ponents of the Volstead act were sat
isfied to do with wines and eiders, ev
erybody will be treated the same.
“This substitute bill takes from the
\ argument one very controversial ques
i tion, i. e., what is intoxicating? I
| am entirely content to let the courts
i decide.’’
i Mr. Wheeler announced today that
] the dry forces were ready fbr a show
l down at the polls. He dsclared that,
1 with all the new recruits claimed by
the wet leaders, the dryß nevertheless
will win the next Congress by 3 to
1.
‘•These wet drives are for beer and
light wines, or beer alone,’ Baid Mr.
| Wheeler. “Any opening wedge to
weaken enforcement would suit them.
| This is to he followed by an aterapt
i to elect a wet Congress, but they can
1 not do it.”
\ While congressmen and others de
i bate the wet and dry issue, Lincoln
1 C. Andrews and other government of
\ ficials familiar with. conditions along
i the Mexican and Canadian borders are
planning to put Into affect a mounted
police patrol that will be effective.
This proposal haß been under consid
\ eration some time, but did not take
definite shape. ,
Representatives Hudson, Republi
can, of Michigan, ttaa introduced two
i bills that would provide lor such a

force along the borders. He said
today he would ask the judiciary com
mittee to have hearings on his meas
ure. The department of labor has
about 400 mounted agents to enforce
the immigration laws. All ends of
federal service would be included in
the proposition. ~
TRAGIC AFTERMATH
TO ELOPEMENT CASE
Mother of Erring .Sampson Girl Dies,
a Victim of Apoplexy.
Clinton, Feb. 17.—A tragic after
math of the elopement ease recently
tried here in which Grover Cleveland
King, married mail, was convicted of
taking Bettie Ezzell, young daughter
of a neighbor, to Greensboro as his
wife, is the death of the girl’s moth
er. ,
IVlien the welfare officer went to
the Ezzell home to have made ttie
necessary examination preliminary to
her admission to Samareand he found
that Mrs. Ezzell had just suffered a
stroke of apoplexy and a physician
on hand ministering to her. That
night she died. In addition to her
daughter, Bettie. she leaves her hus
band, D. M. Ezzell, and seven chil
dren.
An examination revealed that the
young girl not be admitted to
Samareand under the rules of that
institution and efforts which it is
thought will be successful are being
made to get her in the Crittenden
Home in Charlotte.
Hat Makers Fighting Small Easter
Felts.
New York World,
What is the Easter hat to be?
“Small felts,” say the women.
“Not if we can help it,” say the
millinery trades.
The disagreement is because there
is little profit on the small, unadorned
felt, but the feminine world finds the
style charming nevertheless.
A few weeks ago the millinery men
put on a fashion show and “pushed”’
the large and more highly trimmed
hats. Their efforts fell rather flat.
Tonight all branches of the milli
nery business will meet in the Hotel
Astor to discuss other ways of com
batting what they frankly described
•as the “felt hat menace.”
The Hat Frame Manufacturers' As
sociation will attend ns a body. Some
members have posted notices in their
factories to discourage employes from
wearing the small hat.
Forty jobbers and retailers from
the middle west will offer suggestions.
One trade representative has suggest
ed that the stores combine to “throw
out” the felt by selling all present
stocks at redlculously low prices and
buying no more.
Mrs. K. P. Campbell, who has suc
ceeded to the office of general sec
retary of the Photograirtiers’ Associa
tion of America, is the first woman
ever to fill an official position in that
organixation during the 44 years of
its existence.

Houses With Their Occupants Are
Buried Underneath Snow Slide
Bingham, Utah, Feb. 17. —An ava
lanche of snow- and debris that swept
down (tie steep mountainside in Sap
Guleh, near here, this morning result-1
ed in 27 known deaths with the pos- j
sibility of the toll being swelled eon- [
siderably. It was estimated early j
tonight that some fifty men, women I
and children recained buried.
In addition to the 27 bodies re
moved during the day. 13 persons were
taken out alive, five of them in jilted.
As the mass of snow, accumulated
from file heaviest snow storm of win
ter, let loose on the mountainside
above the Gulch, in which are located
the Utnh-Delawnre and Utah Apex
mines, it swept trees and rocks with
it and filled the narrow canyon which
is several hundred feet long.
Came Without Warning.
Men. women and children were
caught without warning when the av
alanche struck the McDonald boarding
house and a smaller one nearby. A
small church and about twenty min
ers' cabins, lining both sides of the
gulch, were buried or swept away.
The bearding houses and cabins, Seat
ed with stoves, caught fire as they
were crushed in the landslide. Many
of the victims were terribly burned,
making identification of the bodies
difficult.
Virtually the entire shift of the
Utah-Delaware mine was coming off
duty when file slide swept the gulch
sides clean and filled it with debris.
It was with a sudden thundering roar
that the slide tore down the mountain
side, said persons outside its path. As
the mass, gravitated down, houses that
had glistened in the snow caved in like
eggshells and became a part of the
moving mass.
Rescuers Are Busy.
Rescue crews plied their shovels in
limited areas that had been roped off.
Their efforts were speeded up late to
day as the fires died down, under the
mass of snow. More than 2,000 per
sons from the countryside and neigh
boring towns had gathered about the
scene before dusk.

DAVIDSON TRUSTEES
IN SEMI-ANNUAL MEET
Completion of Cliambers Building is
Discussed.—Five Members of Facul
ty Elected.
Davidson, Feb. 17.—The board of
trustees of Davidson college held its
semi-annual meeting here today fol
lowing a meeting of the executive
committee of the board iu CharJotte
yesterday afternoon. Consideration
of the problems of completion of the
Chambers building, of. a plan for the
retiring ofthe faculty, of a report
and survey ofthe college, and elec
tion of five new members of the
faculty comprised the major part of
the day’s work of (tie board. A com
prehensive survey of the college was
turned into the board by Dr. Robert
L. Kelly, executive secretary of the
Association of American Colleges
and Universities, with certain sug
gestions. A committee of five men
from the faculty aud five from the
board was appointed to look into this
report.
A movement to collect as quickly
as possible the remainder of the
pledges on the $600,000 fund for the
rebuilding of Chambeis was put into
motion. One hundred andtwenty-fivc
thousand dollars must be raised by
March 15 to get $50,000 promised by
the general education board. The
need for this building was shown in
that Dr. Martin was authorized to
erect an addition to the temporary
physics and biology laboratory build
ing if necessary.
The committee on the faculty re
tiring age and matters pertaining to
1 that is to give a report at the June
meeting for the consideration of the
board. Dr. Walter L. Liligle, presi

Davidson college, both expressed
their satisfaction over the meeting.
Thirty-one members were present.
Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter.
New York, Feb. 17.—The air is
full of bearish rumors but the mar
ket seems full of buying oioers
around these prices and on a scale
down more particularily for new
crops for investment while price fix
ing continues in the old crop. So far
bearish confidence is not equal to
taking the aggressive in face of this
demand and the solid evidence af
forded by maintained premiums of
the neers that spot pressure has not
begun to make itself felt in spite of

eharaetef of the snow that had been
falling for 24 hours, nddding fourteen ,
I inches to previous snows on the sur- j
| rounding heights.
j Sap Gulch, a mile from here, is one,
jof several off-shot gaieties clustered i
i about this city of 4.000 population, j j
j which is noted for the largest “open” | j
copper ore mine in the world,
j The snow slide swept two miles j
! down the gulch before it overwhelmed j
the little mining camp at the narrow :
base. There was little warning of 11
the approaching doom. !
As each building was swept from j
its foundation the avalanche seemed
to gather momentum, according to i
Ed Larson, a miner, Who heard the j
rumbling of the approaching pile of j
snow and debris from one of the win- j
dows of the McDonald boarding house. ,
Larson shouted a warning to the
sleeping miners, who. a short time j
before had gone off shift, threw one j
man out of a window and jumped. I
Both escaped with but a few scratch- I
es.
The three-story boarding house, con- j
ducted by Mrs. McDonald, was the j
last building to be demolished and j
the avalanche came to a stop at the
back door of the office building of
the Highland Boy mine of the TJtnh-
Delaware Mining Company, a subsid
iary of the Anaconda Copper Com
pany.
It was in the boarding house that ,
the grentest loss of life occurred, i
More than half a hundred miners J
were aslep in the building. Few, if i
any aside from Larson and tile uni- '
dentified man he threw from the win- ,
dow, escaped. Mrs. McDonald, the i
proprietor, is among the missing,
Frank A. Wardlaw, superintendent
of the Utah-Delaware Mining Com
pany, stopped work in the mine and
ordered the entire day shift to the
surface for rescue work. The offices
of the company were pressed into
service as an emergency hospital,
where more than a score were treated
for injuries more or less serious and
tonight seven patients were being
cared for.
some easing in the basis and rumors
that large amounts of better grad ■
are sold in weak hands.
dose observers express the opin
ion that the March long interest has
been liberally shifted to May, which
latter position is now likely to 'how
increasing relative stdength. Any
really trustworthy evidence of cot
ton pressing for an outlet through
the cantract markets would bring on
heavy selling for speculative short
account but in 'the absence of such
evidence sellers nppear to feel that
discretion isthe better part of valor.
Buyers, however, are perhaps even
more of that opinion and there is
certinly no demand at present that
seems willing or compelled to tollow
rallies so that there is hardly a
ripple onthe surface oft he market to |
mark the direction ofthe wind if any.
New crop advices generally indicate
good progress in preparation and a
satisfactory season in the soil with
probably about the same acreage as
last year but even the seventh son of
a seventh daughter could not at this
time determine whether that points
to twelve orto sixteen million bales.
It looks probable, however, that re
quirements will make further recov
ery toward what would have been
normal but for the war.
