Tlie refusal of the Senate to make
public the vote on the confirmation of
Woodlock, appointed inter-state com
merce commissioner, caused much
criticism. The nomination had been
held up a long time and unfavorably
. reported. Senators had attacked
Woodlock as unfit for the important
position. Then when the President
announced that he Would recognize
Pennsylvania, tlie South and South
west. in the next appointments on
that court; there was a sudden Change
and Woodlock was confirmed by an
overwhelming majority. Accusations
that senators were bought by promise
of patronage is about the mildest
thing some of the newspapers have
said. To mnke the matter worse
for the senators, they have emphatic
ally refused to make the vote public.
While appointments are eonfirmed in
secret sessions it is the custom to
mnke the vote public in controverted
eases. This was refused. Vice
President Dawes even ruled that a
senator was not at liberty to tell how
he voted. That position was at
tacked by Senator Overman, who said
he made public the fact that he voted
aguinst WSbffiock, and he in effect
defied Che Serrate t<* do any thing about
ft. The IhSLOtitn ’position, .which
lias been the custom, it is understood,
is that a senator may say, if he sees
fit. how- lie cast bis vote, but he is
not at liberty. Senator Overman
has lifted himself from the ranks of
the dodgers.

04 AND ABOUT THE CITY
KANNAPOLIS MAN SHOT
FATALLY BY DAUGHTER
Jan W. Hayes Killed by Daughter,
Iva. After He Is Said to Have
Made Thread*.
A family quarrel, said to have been
caused by a drunken father, resulted
in the death of Jim W. Hayes, of
Kannapolis, Saturday afternoon. His
daughter, Iva. aged 17, who fired the
fatal shot, was released on bond in
the sum of SI,OOO after a jury sum
moned by Coroner Joe A. Hardsell, of
Concord, had heard three witnesses.
The killing was the culmination of
a family quarrel, the girl said, during
the course of which her father had
become violent and had driven her
mother from the home with threats of
death.
i The shooting occurred at the Hayes
home on Poplar street. Kannapolis,
and resulted from threats said to
have been made by Hayes, who. the
jury was told, had been drunk s’nco
Thursday. The trouble started short
ly after the noon meal,- when Hayes
took his wife into a room in their
home and bolted the door.
After they had been in the room
a short time nn insurance man called
at the home and a member of the fam
ily called the mother to the door. As
the woman left the room Hayes is
said to have ordered her to return.
When this order was disobeyed he
became insistent, is said, and after
the ’nsurance man left he started
from the room after his wife.
The jury was told that the woman
ran from the house through the front
door and down the front steps, run
ning around the house toward the
chiek?n lot in the rear. Hayes kept
after her and did not halt until his
daughter called to him.
Turning on her, he was quoted as
saying: “Well, I'll just come back
and kill you.”
It was then she shot, the daughter
testified.
The young woman told the jury
she went through the house as her
parents went around it, and while
passing through picked up the pistol
from undei*the jvllow on her brother's
bed. fearing her father might try to
do bodily harm to her and her mother.
In addition to Mrs. Hayes and her
daughter. Miss Jessie Burkett, of
Kannapolis, testified before the jury.
Her testimony corroborated that of
the other women, if is said.
The daughter fired only one shot at
her father, the bullet striking him just
above the forehead. He died almost
instantly.
Bond was qu’ekly secured for the
young woman, who works in the Can
non Manufacturing company's mill.
Hayes was 54 years old and had
been employed as locksmith in Kan
napolis for the past 18 months. Police
said that he went there after com
pleting a two-year term in a South
Carolina prison for a shooting epi
sode in that state, when he is said to
have final a pistol into an antoirilU
bile. «.
Tlte girl said that her father had
threatened tlie lives of the family |
about three weeks ago and that she
had become frightened when he ran I
from the home in pursuit of Mrs. 1
Hayes.
Mrs. Haves was in a serious eondi- J
tion Saturday night as the result of
friend and shock, it was said.

o’clock Saturday night at the Char- 1
lotte Sanatorium after an illness of

CANNON DECLINES HONOR
GWEN BY REPUBLICANS
Business Duties VCfll Prevent His
Making Race For United States j
Senate.
Charles A. Cannon, nominated last
Thursday by State Republicans as
their candidate for the United States
Senate,. cannot make the race. His
position was made clear In Washing
ton Sunday when he was questioned
by H. E. C. Bryant. Washington cor
respondent for The Charlotte Obser
ver.
Mr. Cannon stopped in Washington
en route home from New York City,
where he was spending several days
on business when he was nominated
by the Republicans. Mr. Bryant
asked the Concord mill owner if he
would aceppt the nomination ami
.quotes Mr. (Cannon as replying in the
negative. Business reasons make it
impossible tor him to accept. Mr. Can
non pointed out. -
| In answering the newspaper man's
query Mr. Cannon is quoted as saying:
I "I am deeply appreciative of this
mark of confidence on the part of the
I republican party of North Carolina,
, and I regret exceedingly tjiat my pre
occupation in business affairs will not
permit me to accept the nomination."
“I earnestly hope that some well
known and available candidate may
be selected by the committee.
"North Carolina is undergoing one
of the greatest industrial and busi
ness revolutions ever known to any
community, and this is due in no
small part to the confidence and finan
cial stability inspired by the Coolidge
administration.
"Every one of our numerous and
varied industries demands the pro
tective tariff policy, and the confi
dence nnd encouragement which a re
publican administration always in
spires. A good candidate, standing on
sound business and economical prin
ciples. ought to make a great showing
in the state this year. 2

here April 15, 16 and 17 by the New
York Civic Opera Company, accord
ing to C. O. Kcuster, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, Charlotte.
The Chamber of Commerce and the
Merchants' Association are lending
their support to making Charlotte’s
•rst opera season a success. Both
organizations are contributing adver
tising.
Directed by Frank
Directed by Maurice Frank, the
New Y’ork Civic Opera Company is
ranked next to the Metropolitan and
Chicago Opera companies. Its cast
includes famous American and Euro
pean artists, and its repertoire in
cludes five of the world's best known
operas. There is a chorus and sym
phony orchestra under the direction
of Dr. Ernest Knoch. Bernard Can

coloratura soprano, whose career bids
fair to rival that of Marion Talley
in meteoric qualify. Like the latter,
she is a young girl, unknown a short
time ago. whose voice has been cap
tivating the hearts of audiences wher
ever she has appeared.
The Operas
Operas which will be presented
here are Carmen, Lucia Di Lammer
moor. Cavalleria Rusticana, Pagliac
cl, and 111 Trovatnre.
Tlie score of Carmen is the work
of Georges Bizet, born in Paris iu
183 s. The story is an adaptation
from Prosper Merimee's famous story
l of the same name by Meilhac and
Haiery. The opera was first pro
duced in Paris March 3, 1875, at the
Opera Pomiqtie. Lt was produced
in New Y'ork October 23, TS79.
Lucia Di Lammermoor draws its
history from Sir Walter Scott's novel.
“The Bride of Laminermoor.” The
opera was written by Gaetano Don
zetti. and was first produced at;
Naples, September 26. 18i}5. Its
fit'st appearance in English was at
New York in 1843. The famous sex
tette from Lucia is probably familiar
to and loved by more people than any
otlo r song from any opera. Throug'i
out the whole production there runs
a, current of tenderness and pAssion
expressed in simple melody,
Cavalleria Ruticana is the worn
I ’ietro Mascagni, the son of h
baker, born in Leghorn. Italy, De
cember 7, 1863. Expected by his
father to succeed him ill the baking
business, the young man rebelled and
secretly entered the Cherubim Con
servatory. Cavalleria Rusticana was
comisiscd ill eight days. It ereated
a sensation when first produced in
Rome in 1890.
Pagiiarei was written by Ruggiero
Leoncavallo, the son of a magistrate,
born at Naples, March 8, 1858. At
sixteen he made a eoncert tour as a
pianist. The opera Pagliacci is
based on an actual occurrence it a
court over which his father was pre
siding. Its dramatic plot and mas
terfully written libretto are largely
responsible for its great popularity.
Trovatnre is probably the most pop
ular opera in the world. lt is the
work of Giuseppe Verdi, with the
story by Salvatore Commnnaro. and
was first produced at the Teacro
Apollo in Rome. January 19, 1853.
The first New York production took
i'bice in German at the Metropolitan
Opera House in 1889.
After remaining on strike for
nearly a year the workers in the
slate quarries of pawlct, Vt., have
won their demand for a wage in
