RAINS PREVENT I WASHINGTON TRIP Air Ace Anxious to Go to Capital for Plane But Weather Conditions Are Too Adverse for Flight. New York, .Tune 15th —OP)—For the second day since Charles Lind bergh's return to New York, report ers outside the Park Avenue apart ment where he is staying were told this morning that the young flyer was sleeping late to rest up from the exer tions of his reception. Remembering however, that the doorman's story of Lindbergh’s slum her yesterday had proved to be a smoke screen behind which the youth-, ful colonel had slipped away to the I-ong Island flying fields it would not surprised the reporters to have sud denly learned that their man had turn ed up in Washington or almost any where at all. Indications that the trans-Atlantic flyer really was staying “at home” this morning were strengthened how ever, when a party from Little Falls, Minn., arrived at the apartment house about 10 o’clock and were tak en up to the Lindbergh apartment to be received. The party from Little Falls arrived in a gaudily painted automobile in scribed with the proud boast that they hnd come from “Lindy’s home town.” The party consisted of Mayor A. L. Crimes of Little Falls, and I)r. C. H. Isnigley, Kenneth T. Martin, J. S. Lewis and Ida Tarbot. Balked by inclement weather in an attempt to fly to Washington yester day to get his Spirit of St. Louis;, the youthful Colonel on the third day of a 5-day welcome in New York bo)M>d to steal' if possible a few hours from his program for a flight to the capital and reunion with the craft that car ried him to international glory.

Spends the Morning in Bed. New York, June 15.—G4>>—Col. Charles A. Lindbergh took a morning off in bed today. He slept soundly after a busy night of entertainment that included the city’s official banquet in hia honor, and a special winter garden perform ance given by the Quiet Birdmen, an organization of famous pilots of the air. When the colonel returned to the Harry Frazee apartment on Park Ave nue, where he and his mother are stay ing, the early June dawn was just over hia housetop and he hopped into bed. His friends did not call him until noon, or just in time for him to prepare for the luncheon given for him at the Hotel Astor by the New Y'ork State Chamber of Commerce, and the Merchants’ Association. Waiting to see the aviator when he arose was a delegation of four boyhood playmates from Little Falls, Minn., including A. L. Grimes, the mayor. EDITOR DUE LINDBERGH COOL MILLION DOLLARS Made Offer 17 Years Ago To Anyone Who Would Fly Across Atlantic Ocean. Omaha, Neb., June 14.—Colonel Charles Lindbergh has a million dol lars coming to him and can collect it under certain conditions. He won the'million by his flight to Paris, but Ed. Howe, founder of the Atchißon, Kas., Globe, in admitting the debt, finds that there may be some difficulty in settling. Addressing the National Editorial association today, Mr. Howe said that 17 years ago possibility of any one making a flight to Paris was consid ered preposterous. “At that time I wrote whenever any one made a flight across the At lantic he could come to the Globe of fice and collect a million dollar*. Until recently, I had forgotten the rush promise.. Right now, after 80 years in a printing office, I am writ ing my autobiography, and if it makes me n million I'll pay Colonel Charlie.” THE STOCK MARKET.

WOMAN TOLLS OF' HER FLOGGING Says Twelve Men in Three Autos Called at Her Home Where She and Her Son Were Whipped. Toccoa. Ga.. June 15.—OP)—Small town gossip thought to have originat ed with au "old man” in the commun ity finally reaped 82 blows across a woman’s bare back. The story Mrs. Ansley Bowers told of an attack on her and her 15 year old son has led to the arrest of four men and to a charge laid at the door of the Kn Kiux Kian. From a hospital bed in Gainesville. Ga., near here, Mrs. Powers told news paper men that 12 men in three auto mobiles called at her home late last Sunday night, forced her to accom pany them to a lonely road, and then beat her four times. Her son, Floyd, wns taken too. she said, and beaten when he cried out against her assail ants. , "These men are all members of the Ku Kiux Kian, there is no doubt about it,” Mrs. Bowers declared to newspaper men. ‘They wore the Kn Kiux uniform, and threatened to brand the letter “K” on my back un less I left town.” Nathan Bedford Forest, grand drag on of the Ku Kiux .Kian in Georgia, replied to Mrs. Bowers, asserting with a statement in which he said “If any member of the Ku Kiux Kian took part iii the Toccon flogging, the Kian will do its utmost to' send him to the State penitentiary." Forrest said that there was a local kian in the vicinity of Toccoa. but that be thought that men “who committed the dastardly outrage" posed as kians men to throw the blame on the organ ization. The “old man” to whom the gossip was charged remained in the back,' ground. A ppnqinent business jpau of thejtfiyru hold investigates that A persistent was this “fatker“ that the chief of police took cognizance of the stories, but that after five days he dropped the matter as not worthy of concern. Mrs. Bowers' husband, from whom she has been separated two years, is a railroad man, and two of the men arrested on charges of having partici pated in the flogging are railroad em ployees. Elmer Clark and Charles Thomas surrendered to Sheriff F. A. Stowe of Stevens County late yester day after completing n run from Greenville, S. C. Both denied the charge. LOCATION OF BRIDGE STARTS CONTROVERSY People of Wilmington Not In Agree ment As To Cape Fear River Bridge Location. Raleigh, June 15.—Whether the new bridge that is to spau the Cape Fear river at k Wilmington will be built at the Market Street crossing, as many desire, or at the Parseley street crossing, more than a mile far ther up the river, the site decided upon by the State Highway Commis sion, is expected to be threshed out at a hearing to be held in Wilmington on Friday, June 17, it was announced toil ay at the offices of the State High way Commission. For more than n year now the’ques tion of the location of the bridge has been the principal question at stake, much more so than the cost, though these two together have been the de termining factors. For all along the Highway Commission has maintained that the cost of n bridge of the type that would be required at the Market street site would be prohibitive, and its estimates for a structure at this site ran from $1,500,000 to $1,800,- 000. So it was that the engineers of the commission, after making numer ous surveys of almost every possible Bite, selected the Paresley street cross ing as the most feasable. But despite the fact that the bill authorizing the bond issue for the bridge gives the Highway Commission full authority tq locate th,e bridge where it thinks best, many people in Wilmington are much displeased at the selection of the Parseley street site, and are still clamoring for the Market street crossing, and insisting that the bridge be built there, if it is built at all. • So insistent have these people be come, that they have called in the engineers of the National Besearch Service, Inc., to make a survey, es pecially of the Market Street location. These engineers have declared that this is the logical location for the bridge, and have submitted a com plete report, together with specifica tions and plnns, estimating that a bridge with a 200 foot draw span, of double leaf bascule type, each leaf measuring 100 feet, could be built for approximately SBOO,OOO. At the hearing Friday before the representatives of the Highway Com mission, this report will be consider ed, and those interested in the Mar ket Street croesing will be heard, as will the advocates of the other loca tion. Juat what decision the com mission will reach cannot, of course, be foretold, though so far it has rip:, posed the Market Street location. CONCORD, N. G, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15,1927 Does Governor Really Want State Owned Printing Plant? The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel By J. C. BASKERVILL Ra eigh, June 15.—is Governor A. W. McLean seriously considering the establishment of a state-owned and operated printing plant, or is he mere ly "stalling for time" hoping there by that the competing printers bidding on the state printing will lower their bids? Though the governor has said noth ing—being a true Scotsman —to indi cate either course, there has been con siderable talk to the effect that he has been giving consideration to the state-owned printing plant idea. But, according to those who should know, though they profess to be absolutely in the dark as to what the governor may have in mind, indications at present, following the meeting of the printing commission Tuesday, are that the governor and the commission are just “stalling for time.” ?“’• In the first place, the bids received were neither accepted or rejected, and the time of the next meeting was made indefinite—evidently purposely so. This in spite of the fact that two bids, which would embrace about 30 per cent of the total amount of the printing contract, fixed their prices at 80 cents per 1,000 ems, instead of 98 per 1.000 ems, ns in the first bids that were refused several weeks ago. The same six firms that bid then five in Ilaleigh and one in Charlotte— did not change their bids this time, still bidding 98 cents per 1,000 ems. Little that was new came up at the meeting, with the exception of the appearance of the engravers of thf state, represented by Branks Arendell and A. W. Mewshaw, who aaked tha( the commission consider separate bids on the state engraving, instead of lump ing it with the printing contracts. The attorneys argued that the engrav ers were not getting proper considera tion, and that the bulk of the engrav ing as let to the printers was being sub-let by them to out-of-the-state en graving firms. They asked that the commission permit the engravers of RAILROAD SEEKS BUS FRANCHISE IN STATE Seaboard First Rail Company to Ask Permission for Right to Operate Bus Line. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERY'ILL. Raleigh, June 13.—At last the rail roads are beginning to realize that in order to hold their passenger travel -they must enter into open copipetltjrS with the motor bus Kites in the state, and operate busses in connection with their train schedules, or else turn over the bulk of their short hnul passenger travel to competing bus lines. This is the interpretation generally placed iu the action b.v the Seaboard Air Line in making formal applica tion to the State Corporation Com mission for jiermission to operate a fleet of motor busses from the western terminus of its lines at Rutherfordton, to Asheville, some 50 miles away. And while this is the first application of this kind to -be filed by a railroad, there is a rumor that other applica tions of a smiliar nature are in pros pect, both by the Seaboard and the Southern. There is no disguising the fact that the railroads in North Carolina have been showing increasing concern at the growing proportions which motor bus travel has assumed in the last few years, nml that their revenue had fall en off greatly ns a result. In 1921 the earnings of the Norfolk & Southern from its passenger business alone urc understood to have been approximate ly $2,000,000, while in 1926 the earn ings from passenger traffic amounted only to about SBOO,OOO. And the of ficials of t.he road atribute much of this decrease to motor bus competi tion and general automobile competi tion. Thus the Corporation Commission will have a knotty question to decide that will set an important precedent, in deciding whether or not to grant this petition, by the -Seaboard. It will be opposed, of course, by the existing independent bus lines, while it will be vigorously pushed by the railroads, who will seek to show that they have a right to resort to extending their service by bus, in order to keep their rail lines so that they will earn a re turn. In other words, the roads will claim that they must either meet coin petionion by bus, or discontinue trains entirely. The immediate cause of the present petition, according to those in elose touch with the situation, is of course to enable the Seaboard to sell through tickets from Florida points, as well as from Savannah and Charleston, to Asheville, and meet the competition of the Southern with regard to rates. At present it cannot do this, but if Nungesser and Coli Had No Flares Says Paris Report Paris, June 14.—The report re- Cincinnati, Quebec, June 14. —The eeived from the United States thiH Quebec Government acted quickly to afternoon that flares had been seen day to check up reports that flares in northern Quebec Sunday night presumably used as distress signals, raising the possibility'that Captains had been seen in tse heavily tim- Chas Nungesser and Francois Coli »*red Bt.

Though the commission came lo no decision, indications are that the request of the engravers is being given favorable consideration. While the appearance of the en gravers before the commission was the only really new feature of the meeting, the principal interest of those con cerned was what was really in the mind of the commissioners and chiefly what was really in the mind of Gov ernor McLean. , The six printing firms which have heretofore handled all of the state printing and which are now standing .together on the increased rate for composition—which is the only in crease in this contract over the one now, in effect —continue to maintain that they cannot and will not bid on tlie state printing at a price on which they will lose money. And they all maintain that they have not and are not making any profit under the pres ent contract. “I don’t know what this delay means—whether it is 'stalling' or what it is,” said one of the representatives at the bidding. "But whatever it is. my house will not chnnge the bid it has submitted for it is already as low os it can afford to moke it. If that means that the state is going to do its own printing or send it out of the state, all right.” And others echoed the same stand. It was also significant that not a single bid from an out-of-the-state printing house was submitted. At present it seems to be a waiting game with each side involved trying to out-wait the other, in the hope that one or the other will get an inkling of what is going on “behind the scenes.” But neither side seems to be having much success. "We are all iu the dark," said one of the “insiders” who readily ad mitted that he was as much in the dark about the whole thing as any rank outsider. So it seems to be a waiting game. it could extend its service to Asheville by bps, and sell through tickets at the same rate as competing lines, it would undoubtedly profit from it, es peeialy since it could advertise that the last 00 miles of the trip would be by bus, over the famous Chimney Rock scenic highway. All of which is of course entirely subservient to the larger principle in volved, which is whether common car riers may supplement their train ser vice, run over privately biyued right *>f way, by operating motor busses over state-owned highways, which are the property of the people of the state. Anil that is the difficult question which the Corporation Commission will have to decide. There is some precedent for decid ing the question in favor of the rail road, even in this state, according to Otis Self, secretary of the cornmis sion. though not technically. For the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railway, running from Johnson City, Tenn., into Mitchell county, is operatiug a bus line from Johnson City to Nvwland and Cran berry, in lieu of passenger train ser vice. But under the authority of the Tennessee, instead of the North Caro lina commission. Other states have not hesitated to grant similar petitions, according to George Pell, of the corporation com mission, who states that railroads are being permitted to operate busses in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and several other states, in order to improve their general service to the public. ,So there seems to be ample precedent upon which the commission may act favorably. Thus the petition by the Seaboard presents one of the most important problems which the corporation com mission has had to consider for many months and which vitally concerns a large number of people in the state. Evolutionists Bound for Hell Says Clergyman. Goldsboro, June 14. —“Those who believe in evolution are liars and hyp ocrites, and are going straight to hell,” declared Rev. Howard Pikin in a ser mon at the Baptist Church at Dud ley. He roundly berated Dr. William Louis Poteat, of Wake Forest Col lege. At the close of the sermon, Rev. Mr. Pipkin invited Prof. H. L. Roberts, a native of Dudley but now teacher at Virginia lutermont College, Bristol, Va., to address the congregation. Professor Roberts hesitated, saying that he preferred not to do so as he could not agree with him. But upon the insistence of the pastor, he went •forward and denounced Rev. Mr. Pip kin for berating the evolutionists. PRESIDENT IS NOW IN SOUTH DAKOTA • FOR SUMMER REST Train Bearing Presidential Party Reached South Dakota This Morning.— Stops First at Pierre. GOING LATER TO TEMPORARY HOME Makes Tour of City Before Going to the State Lodge Where He and His Party Will Spend Summer. President Coolidge’s special train, en route to the Black Hills, S. Dak., June 15.—OP)—A touch of the prairies ami the old-time west unfolded itself to President Coolidge today as he neared his summer residence in the Black Hills of South Dakota. He sat with Mrs. Coolidge in the rear car of his long specinl train and saw stretching into the far-off horizon rolling fields sown recently in wheat and corn. Toward the end of the day the ranges where steers and buffaloes graze were in store. The President was traveling through the heart of that country where the folks he saw and the folk? who Came to see him were those whose desire for farm relief were embodied in the ve toed McNary-Haugen bill. Shortly after sunrise the President's train entered the state which will be host this summer, and at noon he was to receive an official welcome at its capital. Pierre, from Governor Bulow, and other state officials. A welcome delegation headed b.v Senator Norbeck, of South Dakota, waited at the state line.

Greensboro, Juhe 14.—Checks for SSO each have gone forward to a deputy sheriff and a civilian following conviction of “hit and run” (Rivers apprehended by them, it was aanouue. ed today by C. W. Roberts, vice pres ident of the Carolina Motor Club. John O. Ellington, of Smithfield, a deputy sheriff of Johnston county, was the first to secure the SSO stand ing reward which has been offered by the motor organization for the appre hension and conviction of “hit and run” drivers. Deputy Ellington caught Henry Avera, negro, near midnight May Bth after au all-day search. Avera was convicted of hitting the car belonging to C. F. George, dam aging the automobile and injuring Mr. George’s young daughter. Avera was sentenced to pay the damages and given a suspended road sentence. Ralph M. Holt, Burlington citizen, received the second SSO reward. Af ter W.. It. Ellis collided with L. D. Tucker on the streets of Burlington, Mr. Holt blocked the road with his car until officers arrived and arrested Ellis. In Superior court at Graham Ellis was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of SIOO and costs, given a six months suspended road sentence and his driving license was revoked for 90- days. Several other claims for “hit and run” driver rewards are pending, Mr. Robert said. They will be paid up on conviction of the drivers. The reward was offered sometime ago by Charles S. Wallace, of Morehead City, president of the Carolina Motor Club, in an effort to curb the mounting number of “hit and run” drivers and will be pnid, without reservation to officers or citizens responsible for the apprehension and conviction of motor ists who damage other cars and flee. Lindbergh's Charm Makes Coolidge Talk. Washington, June 14.—White House employees are commenting on the length of the conversations between President Coolidge and Col. Lind bergh while the aviator was a guest at the President’s home. Mr. Coolidge, it is said, was greatly impressed with the personal charm of the young man and invited him into the study of the temporary White House for several talks. In these the President asked questions, being par ticularly interested in an account of the trans-Atlantic flight from Lind bergh’s lips. President Coolidge spent more than an hour talking with Col. Lindbergh last night, after other guests had de parted.

London, June In.— UP) —Rumors of n new terror in Russia with numerous summary executions, wholesale ar rests, drastic military preparations, and im|>euding declaration of martial law, and crowds of foreigners fleeing from Moscow are current in London. They emanate from Warsaw, Riga and other centers which are notorious ly given to circulating anti-soviet re ports, and whether they are based on facts could not be substantiated to day from any independent reliable source. It is said that a strict censorship imposed on all telegrams from Russia accounts for the inability to confirm the sensational stories which tell, among other things, of “mass execu tions.’’ "This new terror,” the correspond ent adds, “has more than doubled the number of suicides in Moscow where there are now from 10 to 15 daily. Moscow and Leningrad do not possess enough prison accommodations for the additional thousands of per sons arrested the past few days/ and guarded freight trains are leaving both cities nightly taking victims to Si beria.” \ THE COTTON MARKET Opened Steady Today at an Advance of From 4 to 7 Points, But Turned Easier.
