tfae morning session. Mr. Broadhurst
asserted in emphatic language that
“the Bible does not need any help of
the North Carolina legislature.” Al
ter Mr. Broadhurst took his seat fresh
fuel was added to the emotional tires
j when Frank R. McNinch, former
mayor of Charlotte, gained recogni
. tion from Chairman Seabright Ob
| jeetionß to hearing Mr. McNinch was
| raised and Tom M. Glasgow, of Char-1
| lotte, prominent Presbyterian church |
man, arose to support a motion that!
i Mr. McNinch be heard. The chair->
! man refused to recognize Mr Glas
! gow, w’ho was told to sit down.
The request to sit down evidently I
| aroused Mr. Glasgow's anger and he.
refused to obey. The chairman again j
I refused to hear him. and the Char-,
*otte man finally made himself heard j
in a request for recognition on a mat
ter of personal privilege. This the
. chairman refused to u”ow.
Judge Neal Takes Chair.
With the well known men display
ing much ruffled tempers. Judge Wal
ter H. Neal, of Laurinburg, the or
:gina' leading soirit in the movement
organized the committee of one
hundred, sponsor of the meeting, took
o’*er chair.
Judge Nea' recognized Mr. G'as
g w who 8 oko briefly and then the
/Convention abrupt’y turned to the
election of officers, after the judge,
by diplomatic action, succeeded at
’east temporarily in partially calming
the gathering.
What Mr. Broadhurst Says.
Referring to the above the Greens
boro News has the following:
No threatening move toward him
was made by Rev. Walter West, of
Linco nton. stated E. D. Rroadhurst
1 last night after he had returned |
; ; from the “committee of one hundred”
» meeting at Charlotte, where he and
others sought to present their own
experiences in the best way to make
the schools safe for the boys and
■ girls.
There was some disorder in the
meeting, the Greensboro school head
admitted, but nothing that could be
interpreted as a threat of his be
liefs. He said the meeting was rather |
disgraceful, not only for the bitter- j
i ness displayed but also for the ig- j
norance shown. Also present from ]
i Greensboro wa« Rev. J F. Kirk, pas
tor of West Market Street Church.
i It would appear that the disturbance
in the meeting room while Mr. Rroad
hurst spoke, arose from the desire of
the presiding officer and some of the
“one hundred” to stop him as some
telling points were unfolded.
After registering hits opposition to
: any attempt at legislating the schools
Chrysler engineers have de
signed the Chrysler “58” to
satisfy the rigorous driving re
quirements of today, joined to
a most unusual economy of
operation.
How well they have succeeded
is shdwn by the fact that the
Chrysler “58” attains and main
tains a speed of 58 miles per
hour, accelerates from 5 to 25
miles in 8 seconds, and achieves
25 miles to the gallon.
Some cars have one of these
into teaching the Bible or into high
er standards of morals, Mr. Broad
hurst asked those present to indicate
by raising the hand how many served
on boards of education. Three or
four rai«ed the hand, two of these
from Charlotte.
Mr. Broadhurst then asked how
many had given one day during the
past year to visiting the schools in
their own communities with a view
to seeing what they are actually
teaching and doing. Two hands went
j up. He then referred to the demand
| of the previous speakers that the Bi
> b e be taught in the schools, if neees
| sary by legislative command, and
I asked how many present were teach
ing Bible classes in their own home
communities. Nearly twenty hands
were raised.
j Rev. H. B. Seabright, of Washing
! ton. was presiding. He had told of
! a woman teacher in the Washington
schools who he said had told the
children that much of te Bible was
| a fab’e and was to be treated as an
I allegory. He held her case up as
example of what the committee had
to eradicate from , the schools.
In referring to this, Mr. Broadhurst
Mr. Seabright if he had taken
he conduct of his teacher up with
the Washington school board before
he came to Charlotte with it Mr.
Seabright had not. During this time
the chairman and various ones of
those present kept trying to get Mr.
Broadhurst to stop speaking but he
went on.
He gave his opinion, ns one who
• has had years of connection with the
schools, that the best way the schools
can be made safe for the boys and
girls is for the citizens, even the
citizens of the committee of one hun
i i dred, to visit the schools, to see their
■ | working, to make sure the children
.J are going at least eight months a
Jl year If things go wrong take them
up with the school board and if the
school board tfill not correct them
1 elect a new board. Interruption here
became so constant that Mr. Broad
* hurst referred to some of those who
had spoken a* “bitter tongued minis
ters.”

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE

VANDERBILT IS READY
TO START AT BOTTOM
Saps Employes and Investors in His
Newspaper Ventures Will Be PsitL
New York, May 4.—Even if he
has to move out of his rooms at the
Mayfair house and start work at the I
bottom of the ladder as a reporter,
Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr-, declared
today that the people who believed
in him, whether employes or inves
tors in his newspaper enterprises,
will be paid.
He declined to mnne any state
ment regarding the receivership of
his Lee Angeles paper and the sus
pension of his San Francisco paper,
but declared "it will take more than
this to make me give up a life's work
I went into because I love it."
It was disclosed that General Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, father of the 28-
year-old publisher, at no time had
made demand for the $1,080,000 rep
resented by demand notes for ad
vances by the Vanderbilt family to
the publications. Youug Vanderbilt,
however, said recently the family
had decided to withdraw its support.
"I may have to start again at the
bottom, asking city editors for a
! ob,” said young Vanderbilt. “I never
asked any odds because my name
was Vanderbilt, and from what I
know of the game I think I could
get a job no matter what name I
took.
“It's no disgrace to fail. At the
present stage of the game I’ve failed.
I saved SIOO,OOO in two years out of
my syndicate work, and I’m ready to
go to work tomorrow."
The staff of the San Francisco
Herald today wired Vanderbilt offer
ing to publish the paper without pay
1 as long as the supply of news print
held out.
No effort so far has been made to
obtain a receivership for the Van
derbilt newspapers Inc., the delaware
i holding corporation of all the Van
‘ derbilt publication. Such a step was
i regarded as the natural outcome, of
‘ the petition for a receivership for the
- 1jO« Angeles News, largest of the
> string of tabloids.

No Pow-r to Call Out Troops to
Fight Fire in West, Say MeLeao.
Raleigh News and Observer.
Governor McLean last night tele
graphed F. H- Coffey, of Lenoir, a
commissioner of Caldwell county,
that the executive office has no
power to " order out the National
Guard to fight forest fires. He called
Mr. Coffey’s attention however, to i
the law which give* the forest war-1
dens the power to summon all male
residents between the age of 18 and
45 years of age in fighting the fires.
The same law gives the wardens au
thority to commandeer horses and
property in their fight against the
fires.
Mr. Coffey teiepnoned the Gov
ernor this afternoon and urged him
to order out two companies of Na
tional Guardsmen to fight the fires
which have been raging in Western
North Carolina for a number of days
and which today were reporter out,
of control over wide areas. 1
Before replying the Executive
consulted Attorney General Brum
mitt as to his powers in the matter,
and was informed that there was no
authority to use the troops to fight
forest fires.

TEXAS LADY PROSECUTOR 1
DRIVES HOOTCH TO COVER <
Liquor Prosecutions in the Hands of <
a Relentless Little Woman.
Dallas. Tex, May 3.—CA“) —The
woes of the bootlegger in the South- 1
went may not be more heartrending
than elsewhere; but he has one that i
is more persistent than any other.
Her name is Mrs. Sarah Corey
Menezes and she is assistant United
States district attorney for this sec
tion of Texas.
Federal liquor prosec uisons here
are in the hands of this relentless
little woman, whose only request
when she accepted the position was
that she be given a man’s work. She
was taken at tier word, and for more
than a year she has been responsible
for driving the clandestine hootch
traffic deeper into cover.
There is one thing she will not
tolerate. She will not be called "a
little lady." A Dallas police captain
called at the district attorney’s of
fice, looked about the office, and an
noon-ed he wanted to see “a man
lawyer.’’
“Well, I’m the assistant district
attorney, won’t I do?” said Mm.
Menezes, who was the only person in
the office.
The police captain hesitated; it
was something new in the he-man
state.
“Well, you see, little lady,”—
He got no further. About five feet
of femininity up to its full height,
and a fist came down hard in the
desk.
“Don’t you ‘little lady’ me,” she
I said. “You men might as well under
stand now that I'm not going to he
just a clerk here. I'a assistant United
States district attorney and Tin go- i
lng to practice law just' like a man j
does.”
The po’ice and others since hare
I found that she was a prophet in her
own bailiwick. What she said has all
i come true.

• .court before Federal Judge William
' 1 Atwell, exalted ruler of the Elks, she
1 disposed of thirty-four liquor cases
, with she assistance of Shebly 8. |

• for the government.

not satisfy Mrs. Manases. She be
lieved there were ’’higher-ups’’ who i
owned the outfit.
Alone she started out to gather th?
evidence on the “higher-ups" and j
later she reached them.
She says when it comes to prose- 1
outing old women for bootlegging
she weakens. One of her first de
fendants was an old mother of seven- '
ty. She did not have the heart to j
prosecute vigorously so the woman
was freed. She can be “hard-boiled”
though when It comes to the persist
ent woman offender.

as some states. She was born in Fort
