LEAGUE SINCE HER
PUN IS REJECTED
League Circle in Conster
ation as Result of For
mal Notice Received
From Brazilians.
PEACE PLAN IS
NOT ACCEPTED
It Was Hoped Spain and
Brazil Could Be Satisfied
Without Getting Perma
nent Seaut Sought.
Geneva, June 14. —(A 3 )—Brazil hae
resigned from the League of Nations.
Notification of this step was received
by cable today from Foreign Min
ister I’acheo at Itio Janeiro, created
consternation in league circles. ' -
T.ie withdrawal follows Brazil's
earlier act in resigning from the
league council because of the refusal
of the powers to grant her a perma
nent seat simultaneously with Ger
many.
League officials, basing their opin
ion on Ambassador Franco Mello’s
speech in which lie said lie would
await the final report of the council’s
reorganization commission, had been
confident that the Rio government
would not take the final Rtep until
t'.ie Knropenn chancellories had op
fiortunity to try diplomatic negotia
tions.
The powers planned to placate Bra
zil and Spain by promising them sup
liort for regular re-election as non
permnnent council members, thus giv
ing them in effect, if not in name,
permanent membership.
League officials still doggedly hope
thht the entrance of the new Brazil
ian president. Washington Buis, this
fail may bring a change in the Rio
government's league policy ns carried
«ni by President Barnardes and his
foreign minister, Senor Pucheo.
Although she has resigned, Brazil
remains a member by virtue of the
covenant for two years from the time
the message was sent.

Trouble Being Encountered in Secur

Huntersville, June Meck
lenburg county Tuberculosis sani
toriuin will open about the middle of
July, it is understood here after a
survey of the plant by R. Neal Hood,
chairman of the Mecklenburg board
of county commissioners, this- week-
The hospital is practically ready
for occupancy now, it was explained
by Mr. Hood, but because of the in
adequacy thus far of the water sup
ply the opening will necessarily be
postponed until water is secured.
Already three drilled wells have
failed to provide enough water, and
the fourth is being drilled. All four
it is planned, will be hooked together,
and it is though that they will
furnish approximately thirty gallons
a minute.
A carload of furniture from a
Wisconsin manufacturer arrived here
this week and it has been placed il
the hospital. It is of metalic con
struction throughout and ks especial
ly designed for hospital use.

IVRIGHTBVILLE CAUSEWAY
OPENED THURSDAY
Connect* Mainland With Harbor Is
land and Wrightsville Beach.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Wilmington, June 14.—0 f more
significance to the entire state of
North Carolina than is at first real
ized was the opening of the new
causeway one ami one-eighth miles
long, connecting the mainland wit'i,
Harbor Island and Wrightsville
Bench at Wilmington Thursday af
ternoon, not merely because it is a
difficult piece of engineering, but be
cause it signifies the spirit of prog
ress and characterizes the aliveiiess of
this section of the Cape Fear dis
trict. It is indicative of the new
will to do and accompish worthwhile
things for the benefit of eastern North
Carolina.
This was evidenced by the more
than 2,000 automobiles which fol
lowed the car bearing Governor A.
W. McLean, who officially broke the
ribbon barrier and led the way across
the new strip of roadway that hud
been dredged up from the waters of
the souud. It was evidenced by the
more than ten thousand people which •
lined the streets of Wilmington to j
watch the auspicious procession pass;
on its way to the causeway and by I
the ten thousand more who travelled
by automobile and in street car to j
Harbor Island and WrightsvMle Beach
to participate in the formal ceremonies
attendant upon the opening of the
causeway. It was evidenced in the
fact that all these people realized that I
the opening of this little strip of road :
was not so much in itself, but that
it signified that people outside the
state, in the person of the Tide Water
Power Company and A. E. Fitkiu,
of New York, its head, had enough
confidence in this territory to invent
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
its development.
Asheville Thieves Quite Ingenious*

Battery Park Hill for about thirty
minutes. When he returned he got in |

refused to budge. On investigation
he found that the rear fender of the
car had been jacked up and both rear [
wheels stolen. Another man reported i
that he had. been the victim of gaso-1
line thieves three times within the,
week.

AS MANY BOLL WEEVILS
THIS YEAR AS LAST
Tike Hot ami Dry Weather. However.
May Greatly Reduce the Weevil in
Numbers.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, .Tune 14.—The result of
tests conducted by entomologists of
the State department of' agriculture
indicate that the cotton fields of
North Carolina will start off the sea
son with about as many boll weevils
per acre as last season, it was stated
by the department.
About nine-tenths of one per cent, j
of the weevils placed in winter quar
ters in wire screen cages at the Aber
deen insect laboratory last fall have
successfully passed t*iie winter, ex
perts said. About the same percent
age survived the winter of 15)24-1925.
In the spring of 15)25 this percent
age of weevil survival was responsible;
for an infestation of 50 to 750'
weevils per acre on cotton before it
set any squares, it was pointed out
by Entomologist R. W. Leiby, of the!
State department of agriculture. “A
similar infestation,” he? said, “is.
therefore, to be expected this season.
It is still problematical, however,
whether the weevil will be seriously ■
destructive this year, because hot and
dry weather during the first half of
July w’lien the first brood of weevils'
usually is developing in squares on
the ground may kill the grubs in the
squares and greatly reduce the weevil
in numbers.”
“This condition.” he added, “pre
vailed last year and turned a serious
ly threatening situation to one of,
little consequence.
“On the other hand, the present
winter survival of weevils, followed
by a moderately warm and showery j
July could bring about a severe weev
il injury to cotton this season. !
“No weevils have as yet been taken ,
on young cotton this season by the I
department’s field entomologists. This,
it is believed, is due to the late sea
son and the consequent slower emerg
ence of the weevil from winter quar
ters.”

coke oven blew up early today at the
by-products plant of the Illinois Steel
Company here. The explosion was
believed to have been caused by gas.
The explosion started a fire in near
by buildings of the plant, and all

ambulances and doctors. The fire
1 was not considered serious.
; Tile injured and dead were being

injured, a dozen of them seriously,
' when the two-story brick buildii};
was wrecked.
About 100 men were employed at
the plant. The force of the ejiplo
• sion hurled them against the walls
; breaking arms and legs. Rescue was
’i difficult because the building was scat-
I tered, burying t'.ie victims in the
( . debris.
' I Two hours after the blast rescuers
‘; still were searching the wreckage for
’ j other vietims.
• | The injured men were taken to the

‘ I Emergency calls were sent out to I
i adjoining suburbs for physicians and
1 ' nurses.
j j It was about oa. in. when with a
roar that was heard two miles away,
the blast hurled the roof of the plant
- high in the air and heaved out the
' walls .in a shower of bricks. •
f! Workmen nearby were unable to ex-
I plain what they had seen. They said
f the blast was like a thunderbolt out
I of a clear sky.
' | The explosion was on what is

PRIMARY LAW MAY
GO TO 81PREME COI'RT
For Ftfther Interrelation.—Board
May tinier Recount if Necessary.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. June 14.—When Solicitor
W. F. Evans, of Wake county, kicked
out of the traces and asked for a re
count of the vote cast in the June
sth primary, in which he was defeat
ed for re-nomination, he came very
near dislodging a hornets nest, as far
as tlie State board of elections is con
cerned.
For by his act others in s’milar cir
cumstances have been encouraged to
seek a recount and a controversy is
in the making that bids fair to carry
the election law to , the Supreme j
Court again for further inteipreta- j
tfon or even to the le£TslatuY*e fbr re
vision. This became increasingly ap
parent today following the ruling of
Attorney General Dennis G. llrum
mitt that the State board of elections
has jurisdiction to hear the petition
of Solicitor Evans and make the re
count if it deems it necessary.
Rut as predicted exclusively by Ttv
Tribune correspondent in a story
dealing wit’ll the phase of the election
law earlier in the week, the power I
of the State board to make a recount
is only “on account of errors in tabu
lating returns and filling out blanks’’
ns set forth in section 135 of the
State election law (C. S. 6048). The
attorney general called attention to
the fact that neither the courts nor
the boards of election have power to
review the action of the judges or reg
istrar of election in passing on the
right of an individual to participate
in a primary, and cited the case of
Rowland vs. Board of Elections, 184,
N. (\. 78 v upon which the decision of
the Supreme Court was based, inter
preting the law in the same manner
as has Attorney General Bruramitt.
This same case was cited by The Trib
une correspondent a f ew days ago
in predicting that this same interpre
tation would be placed upon it.
As the result of this ruling even
greater public interest than usual is
being focused upon the convening of
the State board of elections here on
Wednesday, June 16th. Whether the
Evans appeal will be taken up at
once by the board, or whether the
canvassing of the returns from the
other counties will be completed first,
has not been learned.
Two other cases of a similar na
ture have come before the board in
the last day and a half, ftnd will
probably be considered at the same
time the Evans petition comes up.
The board was informed today that
Hugh M. Humphrey, candidate for
nomination for State senator from
Wayne county, who was opposed bv
C. C. Sanady and Kenneth C. Royall.
Humphrey was senator from the
eighth district first term, but his time
fell into second place. He alleges
that many voted who were not regis-
I tered, and petitioned the county board
E of canvassers to check the ballots
oast against the registration books.
» The board, despite the ejection law
provisions that opening of the ballot
, boxes can only be done in the case
of errors in “tabulating returns and
1 filling out blanks.” decided that it was
i within its authority to make the
check, and the recount was in prog
ress today (Saturday). What the
outcome will be and whether the pro
cedure is held to be legal remains to
be seen.
Still another case comes from Pam
lico county, where F. C. Brinson, can
didate for the house of representa
tives from that county, asked for a
recount on the grounds that non-reg
istered persons voted, and that Re
publicans voted in the Democratic
primary illegally. There, however,
the county board r/iled as did the
Wake county board, holding that it
did not have the legal authority to
make the recount in this case. It
, is likely that this appeal.
“The situation is a most puzzling
one,” a local attorney remarked in
discussing the case. “There is such
ambiguity in the law itself that it is
