Dr. Ferry Says No One Can Run the Other Fellow’s Job As Weil As His Own. Yakima, Wash., June 25.— OP) — No one can run the other fellow's job as well as his own, though he may, until he has tried it, be fully convinced that he is able to do so, said Rev. D. W. Ferry here after a week as editor pro tern of the Yakima Daily Republic. The Presbyterian minister took the position after a series of arguments with the editor, Col. W. W. Robert son, about the Republic’s editorial policy especially in regard to the pro hibition law and its enforcement. “Lots of persons think they eou'.d run newspapers and write editorials without the least difficulty," said Mr. Ferry. “I wish they could all try it once. It would develop a fine spirit of tolerance, though after the experi ence they might not survive long enough to exemplify it. If I have to retire from the ministry I certainly am not going to try to find any rest in the editorial chair, It isn’t there.” Ferry said that he had learned that preaching every Sunday is nothing like the strain of filling editorial col umns day by day. “The demands of newspaper space and time are’ so re lentless that. I could not stand np under them long.” Flash Carrying Main Cause of In decent Public Dancing. Lawrence, Kang., June 25.— There were a good many potential chiefs among the young braves who were graduated from Haskell Indian In stitute this spring. There were a handful of boys prepared for life as “merchants,” but not a lawyer nor a doctor was among them. Haskell graduated its largest class, with 43 boys and 67 girls. In its vocational schools the boys picked out 13 different professions. Six were given diplomas from the school of farming; six others graduated as printers, five as engineers, three as auto mechanics, teachers, coaches, painters and carpenters, and one each as baker, a dairyman, mason and blacksmith. Only four professions were open to the girls, and, the study of home making was most popular. Twenty two were given diplomas in home economies, 16 in nursing, fifteen in teaching and fourteen in commerce. Trying to Clear Up Murder Mystery. Daytona Beech, Fla., June ~25.

Raleigh, June 20.—1 t may be hard on the poor ward of the "Salary and Slave” commission to have to work through the summer months as hard as they do, but they ought to be thankful they are not in Virginia. They at least get Saturday afternoon off, which is more than the State employes get in Richmond. Just this week Governor Byrd re fused to issue an order giving the state employes there one afternoon a week off dnring the summer months. Also in Virginia state employes are required to put in eight hours a day, while In North Carolina, seven bourn * day is all that is required. The salary scale in North Carolina Is also, considerably higher, especially tor office helpers, than in Virginia. In fact, North Carolina has the high est wage scale for its clerical force of any state in the United States. “Bad Eye” Guthrie Secured.' “Bad Eye” Guthrie has been se cured by the management of the Gib »on baseball team to work in the box againit Kannapolis this afternoon at Gibaon Park.

DENVER MAN NOW LIVES < BY NAME OF CHARLIE ROSS Right to Name Established by tbe' Ross Family In Philadelphia. j Charlotte, .Tune 25.—The' Denver,: Lincolnton county, man who has been known for the past two years as Ju- j iius 0. Dellinger, will hereafter sign all his mail as “Charlie B. Ross.” f He will aLn hr .entitled to write ont the' fhlT name as Charles Brew ster Ross. The Denver woman who has been known for the i>ast two years as “Mrs. Dellinger” will hereafter be known as "Mrs. Ross” and the six ■'Dellinger” children of a certain household in Denver will be “the Ross children.” These changes hnve been brought about by the return to Denver of the j man who left there some weeks ago for New York and Philadelphia to establish the claim that he was the long-missing Charlie Ross of Phila delphia and has now come back with the claim established, according to his contention. Neighborhood Talk. The neighbors of the new Ross family in Denver will soon be gening used to referring to their one-time Dellinger neighbors as the Ross neighbors. The right to this Change in name is considered by the Denver family as the most important event in the family history recently and the one important thing resulting from the visit of the husband and father to New York and Philadelphia recently. Tho former Julius C. Dellinger had said before leaving for New York and Philadelphia that he would not be a claimant for any part of the estaae ofthe late Christian K. Ross, father of the kidnapped Charlie Ross, and that his principal anxiety was to give his children their birth right of a name. The right of the Denver man and his family to the name of Ross, though not established by any’legal proceedure, is established by the ad mission of the Ross family in Phila delphia and their legal adviser that the claims ofthe man from Denver to being the lost Charlie Ross are too strong to be denied. Admit Him. This is taken as all the admission necessary by the Ross family that the new man who has appeared among the is the long-missing mem ber of the family. This admission by the pi out interested members of the family including two surviving maid en sisters of the stolen Charlie Ross and Mrs. Pierre C. Starr, a second cousin—that the Denver man is Charlie, is all the formality, ap parently, that will accompany the transformation of Julius C. Dellin ger, into Charlie Brewster Ross. If tbe Denver man were setting up claims to an estate left by the late Christian Ross, it would be neces sary to take tbe matter into the courts. Since he is living up to his recent declaration that he wants on ly a name for his children—which want is supplied when the Rosses ad mit his claim—there is no need of going into court, he says. These facts being estab’ished, Charlie B. Roes, of Denver, has set about to write a book—and odyssey, It might be called—of bis half-cen tury search for a name- From his recollections of the late seventies to two years ago he was known as William C. McHale. Two years ago he came to Denver, fol lowing extended correspondence with parties In Charlotte, believing he was i Julius C. Dellinger, stolen many years ago from' the neighborhood of > Denver. Last February he found out i that Julias C. Dellinger had died September 1, 1895, in Birmingham, CONCORD, N.

If sin is a transgres sion of the law. the error must be in the Volstead law.” St. Stephens’ is supported largely by the New York diocese. About 15 per cent, of its graduates become clergymen.
