One Report Says Ship Has I
Passed Point Barrow
and Was Making Good
Progress During Night.
Settle, Wash., May 14.—OP>—
Dawning of the fourth day since the
dirigible Norge left Kings Bay, Spit*- j
bergen, to fly across the north pole |
to Nome, Alaska, saw the world an-!
xiously waiting word from tier. I
Chief operators of Alaska naval ra
dio stations spent another night list-!
ening for wool from the giant air- i
ship carrying Captain Roald Amund
sen and his seventeen companions.
A message sent from an unidentified
station was the only word of the
Norge which broke through the veil
of which has covered her
whereabouts.
The nnvnl radio compass station at
Hinchinbrook Island, near Cordova,
Alaska, reported to the Associated
Dress this morning that it had picked
up a mysterious message saying that
the Norge had lmssed Point Barrow,
the northern tip of Alaska, at noon,
eastern standard time.
The distance from Point Barrow to
Nome is 550 miles, an eleven hours'
voyage for the dirigible. Thus at 8
o'clock last night, eastern standard
titme, she should have reached Nome ,
if unconfirmed radio messages were (
true.
Radio efforts to reach the Norge
have been particularly thorough.
Three stations, those at St. Pauls ,
island. Seward, and Hinchinbrook, re- ,
ported hearing the Norge simultan- ,
eously about 1 a. m. yesterday, east
ern standard time, but nothing has
been heard since. On Wednesday and ,
Thursday the Norge was called by all
aval radio stations in Alaska through
naval radio stations in Alaska ,
throughout the night on each of"the
four wate lengths the dirigible is
using.
Seeking Definite Information.
Seattle, Wash., May 14.—OP)—Ad- 1
vices received here by the Associated
Press at 7 a. m. today eastern stand
ard time, from a navy radio station
at Hinchinbrook Island, near Cor- i
dova. Alaska, said that station had i
intercepted a message from an un
known station to the effect that the
airship Norge had passed over Point :
Barrow at 0 a. m. yesterday, Pacific
Coast time. The message added that
all aboard were well. All radio sta
tions in Alaska were immediately or- ;
dered to try to verify the message.
Naval radio stations in Alaska have !
redoubled their efforts to communi- i
cate with the Norge. Heads of the i
naval stations personally kept watch i
throughout the night. All traffic has i
been ordered .to suspend for any
words of the dirigible. I
Not Worrying.
Nome. Alaska, May 14.— UP) —The 1
friends here of Roald Amundsen to- 1
day saw no reason despite a storm •
reported in Arctic regions, to worry 1
because the dirigible Norge had not
reached Nome on its trans-Polar
flight.
Persons familiar with Amundsen,
whose exploits have brought him here
with frequency, declared that predic- 1
thms that he would reach here Wed
nesday night or yesterday, were a
characteristic ruse. 1
Amundsen who discovered the
South Pole, first navigated a marine
vessel through the Arctic Ocean from
Atlantic to Pacific, twice flew toward
the North Pole in airplanes, and vain
ly dispatched a vessel to drift over
the same spot in the ice, is said to be
fond of fooling the world.
Says Musician Begins to Study Be
fore Age of 14.
London. May 15.— UP) —A (musi
cian cannot be made after the age of
fourteen, is the declaration of Dr.
John E. Borland, for seventeen years j
the directing master of a music class
of half a million children in the
London elementary schools, who has
retired.
Dr. Borland said the English real
ly are a musical nation, but children
who are naturally musical have so
little chance to acquire a real love
of music that it is not strange the
English do not excel along musical
lines.
Penes Restored in Warsaw.
London, May 14. —OP)—The Pol

that peace and order has been restored

NEXT GREAT CHAPTER
TO BE WRITTEN IN. SOUTH
And North Carolina is in Foremost
| Position to Have Important Part.
Daily Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
| Raleigh, N. C„ May 14.—The next
i great chapter in American civilisa
tion will be written in the South,
and North Carolina is in n foremost
pos'tion to have an important part
in this new chapter, according to
Dr. H. W. Chase, President of the
University of North Carolina in his
address Wednesday at the first an
imal Scholarship Day exercises at
State College here, held under the
auspices of the Pine Burr and PTii
Kappa scholarship societies, in which
recognition was given to the stu
-1 deiits who had attained high sehol
! astlc honors during the year.
: The task of seeing in this new age
lof tremendous iivilization that is de
| veloping in the South the necessity
: for inijMirtial observation of the forces
back of it. was stressed by Dr. Chase,
who stressed the fact that a well bal
anced civilization is one which has
concern net only for industrial lead
ership and statesmanship, but for
achievement in science and scholar
ship and art in which the South, in
comparison with other sections, has
been lacking.
Basing his comparisons on the Inst
edition of“ Who's Who, - ’ which offers
perhaps the most inrportial and im
personal standard of merit from a
standpoint of scholarship and achieve
ment in the United States, Dr. Chnso
brought out the fact that whilp North
Carolina, in the number of its citizens
who have won recognition sufficient
to entitle them to a place in its
pages, compares favorably with the
other southern states, there is a real
discrepancy between the number of
men in the South and in the north
who have won mention in this volume.
“One of the reasons why more rec
ognition has come to men of northr
ern states than to North Carolina,
said Dr. Chase, iq because that when
these men were developing. North
Carolina was not a state of wealth
and did not offer educational advant
ages ; henre the opiiortunities were
much more limited than in other
states, particularly in the north.
“The old American stock was
much the same, but the difference in
opportnrftfy ‘xfßnrw tip in comparison,
as North Carolina did all that it
should do at that time, within its
limitations.
“Favorable environment and stim
ulating opportunity make a tremen
dous difference in intellectual leader
ship and there have been many mute
and inglorious Miltons because of the
lack of this stimulating environ
ment, to develop the richness and lat
ent possibilities of their intellects.”
North Carolina has been excep
tionally ricb in the development of
leaders in public and governmental
affairs, in industry and business, but
has shown a deficit in science, art
and literature and in the higher
reaches of scholarship and' the pro;
sessions. Dr. Chase declared. Among
tljpße listed in “Men of Science’’ on- j
ly eight per cent, are from the i
South, he said.
“Industrial development in the 1
south has suffered for lack of soien- ’
tific leaders and if leaders of scientif
ic achievement are not developed,
the industries of the South will be 1
under a handicap of competition with
those in other parts of the country.
“Leadership in art and literature
will also count in a very practical
way. The South has already suffer
ed because of the fact that most of
the great historical documents of the
country have been written by men of
other points of view.”
In this new age of civilization de
veloping under the eyes of the South,
men of scholarship see that a well
balanced growth has concerned not
only for industrial leadership and
statesmanship, but for achievement in
the arts ami sciences as well, Dr.
Chase concluded.
Los Angeles is to have a million
dollar hotel exclusively for women.

Crime Is Greatly Increasing Through

Henderson, May 13. —Crime is
(greatly on the increase in this state,
and particularly in the third judicial
district. Solicitor R. Hunt Parker,
of Henderson, who is the solicitor of
the third district, said here today in
an interview- on the subject. He as
serted that in his opinion, if crime
goes on unchecked and continues to
increase in the next few years as it
has in the past few,and if the pres
ent judicial districts remain as they
are now constituted, without any di
visions into smaller areas, the solici
tors of those districts will have
their hands full in the courts,and
will be actually engaged in the pro
secution of criminal dockets fully
35 weeks of the 52 in each year.
Without making an actual check,
Solicitor Parker said that he had
tried between 850 and 700 cases
since the first of January, and that
of the 19 weeks of 1026 that have
passed thus far, he has been engaged
in criminal courts 15 weeks. Os
course, in a few instances he has not
been thus engaged for the full week,
but in many cases he has,

CAUSE OF ARGUMENT
Methodists Dehate Phrase Yhieh Is
Contained in Their Creed.
Memphis. Temi.. May 14.—(A s )
The General Conference of the M. E.
Church. South, plunged into heated
debate shortly after the opening of
today’s session over tile phrase “holy
Uathotie Church” in the creed. The
question came up in the reading of
the second nrtiele of a proposed con
stitution which was the special order
of the day.
M. A. Childers. San Antonio, Tex.,
as. moved to strike out the phrase
anil substitute “universal church of
God.” Dr. W. A. Christian moved to
“star” the “holy catholic" and add a
footnote explaining that the phrgse
did not menu the Roman Catholic
Church.
Dr. Christian's motion prevailed
when the vote was taken.
Dr. Bascoin Anthony spoke in sup
port of the original motion, while oth
ers spoke for and against, the propos
al.
Almost before the vote on the phrase
. change had been taken Dr. J. A. An
derson, of Forest City, Ky., moved
to strike out all the articles which iq
eluded statements ol~faith, creed slid !
rules, and substitute the sentence (
“Our doctrinal standards shall consist !
of the 25 articles of faith In Wesley’s ,
sermons, and Wesley's notes on the
New Testament.”
Dr. Anderson spoke on his motion
amid questions and heckling. He de
clared that the church was imitating
the Pharisees “who outlived their
creed to minute details.”
The motion was laid on the table
without further debate.
