ASSOCIATED * PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVII Body Os Mrs. Harvell Exhumed For Autopsy; Son Is Still In Jail Autopsy Ordered by So-' licitor Zeb V. Long for Purpose of Determining if She Met Foul Play. NO WARRANT IS ISSUED FOR SON It Still Being Held as Es caped Convict From Vir ginia.—Wife Says She Knows He Is Not Guilty. The body of Mrs. Mary Harvell, which was found hanging in a wood shed near her home on North Church Friday morning of last week, was ex humed from Union cemetery this af ternoon for an autopsy ordered by Zeb V. Long, solicitor of the 15th district. The autopsy was directed til's morning by Solicitor Long, who com municated with Sheriff It. V. Cald well, Jr., and the sheriff authorized Dr. Joe A. Hartsell. county coroner, and Dr. P. R. MncFadyen, surgeoen at the 'Concord Hospital, to make the autopsy. When questioned about the autopsy Sheriff Caldwell stated that it had been ordered for the purpose of de termining whether Mrs, Harvell had met with foul play. That is all Sheriff Caldwell would say about tlje matter but it is gener ally understood that the autopsy is a result of rumors that Mrs. Harvell might have been poisoned or otherwise mistreated before she committed sui cide by hanging. Dr. Hartsell stated that he planned to have the body removed early this afternoon and‘hoped to begin the au topsy not later than 3 o'clock at Wil kinson's Funeral Home. It is ex pected that the results will not be de termined for several hours. Sheriff Caldwell stated this morn ing that no warrant had been issued here charging lioy Harvell, escai>ed convict, with complicity in the death of Ids mother. Harvell was ar rested Friday near Norwood and is being held here as an escaped prison er. Sheriff (Caldwell emphasized. He admitted' to local officer** that he es caped from tljy yirjpnia State prison.. after serving about 8 years of a 15- year sentence for house breaking. It is understood , however, that wh'le Harvell is in the local jail of ficers are trying to run down rather persistent rumors that his mother met with foul play. His future status, so far as local officers are concerned, may be determined by the autopsy. Harvell first come to the attention of local officers several days ago when he sought to settle his mother's es tate. He qualified as administrator of the estate first in Stanly county and later in Cabarrus county, and it is said that he sought to obtain certain money which his mother had deposited in local banks. This phase of this situation is said to have led to ru mors that he was wanted in Virginia, and investigation brought the infor mation that resulted in his arrest as an escaped convict. Wife Sees Him in Jail. Harvell’s wife, who met and married him under the name of Roy Carvell, visited him in the Cabarrus jail to day and n scene bordering on one of sadness was presented to a Cabarrus officer and a reporter of The Tribune who were in the jail at the time. "Hello, Hoy," his wife said as she entered the room where Harvell was behind the bars. "Hello, Oradell," he replied.- Husband and wife then talked for a moment about their child, about one year of age, who was in the mother's arms. The wife raised the child up to Harvell and he held the babe in his arms for a moment. His arms were sticking through the bars. “I understand that they are going to take up the hotly of mother to make a post-morten examination,” Harvell said, and his wife answered, "thrft'a what I heard too." “I know though that you didn’t hove anything to do with that though,” she told him. “I don’t know anything about the Virginia matter but I do know that you didn’t hpve anything to do with your mother's jeath.” Mrs. Mary Harvell had threatened to kill herself at several times and had mentioned how easy it would be to commit suicide, Roy's wife told him. “Mother threatened to hill her self during the week before the 'body was found. The nigot before sbe was found dead she mentioned some one in Concord that had committed suicide," the woman said. “I know that I am dear of ‘that’,” Roy repeated and his wife said that . she knew that he did not leave their room the. night before the body was found. Harvell, when seen in the jail this morning, had on a watch fob with the letters R. <5. on them. His wife said that she had known him always as Carvell. “I stayed in the house with his mother to r some time and she never did tell me that his name was not Carvell,” the woman stated.

PREPARING NOW TO ADVERTISE BIG PARK National Publicity Campaign For Smoky Mountain Park Will Start Soon. Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. C. BASKERVILL. Raleigh, June 25. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is at least much nearer becoming a reality than it has yet been, and within a few weeks it is expected that a national publicity campaign will be launched, with the Depart ment of the Interior assisting, to arouse public interest in the pro ject. In conjunction with this cam paign, an effort will be made to se cure some $5,000,000 in private sub scriptions, to be expended in pur chasing additional land for the park. This was announced here by Mark Squires, chairman of. the State Park Commission, and author of the Dill enacted *by the last general assembly in which the state authorized a bond issue of $2,000,000 to be ex pended in securing land for the park. The survey of the 428,000 acres of land which the National Park Service has fixed as the amount of land which must be obtained for the park, has just been completed by- Arno B- Cammerer. acting director of the National Park, Service, and his final report to the Secretary of the Interior is expected to be deliver ed either today or Monday, Mr. Squires said. This survey has been going on for more than a month, in both Tennes see and North Carolina, and 214.000 atges in each state have been designated as acceptable to the Nn tiqnal I “ark Service. Now, that these specific tracts have been set' aside it will be possible for the park com missions in both states to go ahead with the work of acquiring tracts which they now have the assurance will be accepted by the Government. The North Carolina Park Oominis siion is expected to start getting options dr buying tracts outright, as soon as this report has been made public. Another purpose of the survey was to exclude from the park those areas which are known to contain copper and other ores, so that they might be developed commercially. There are a number of these deposits in Jackson county, which have been excluded, as wel' as some extensive Balsam areas in Haywood county. Within the next two weeks, or as soon as this report on the survey of the park nrea has been made ptiDlic, it is expected that a meeting of th“ board of directors of the Appalachian Nationul Park Association. Inc., will be called, and that the nation wide campaign for funds for the. Great Smoky Mountains park, as well as the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, will be outlined. The directors are D. C. Chapman. Knoxville, for Tennessee; Mark Squires. Lenoir, for North Caro lina : J. H. Smith. Petersburgh, and H. J. Benscholl. Woodstock, for Vir ginia. with Major W. A. Welch, di rector of the state parks in New York, as chairman. Mr. Squires had just been in Asheville for a, conference with Major Welch, and declared that Major Welch was certain that the $5,000,000 needed eonld be easily raised, and that he was enthusiastic over the prospects. 'All of which comes as welcome news to many people over the state who have felt that very litle has been done about the Smoky Monn tians National Park since the gen eral assembly passed the bill auth orizing the bond issue. Many also now realise that the park as a real ity is still along way off, and that the general assembly did well to safeguard the expenditure of the $2,000,000, so .that none* of it can be' speqt until the Government actually takes over the park area to maintain it.

BROADUS MILLER IS STLL IT LIBERTY; CONTINUING SEARCH While Posse Has Ceased Its Hunt in and Near Morganton, County Offi cers Are Still at Work. NEW REPORTS ARE RECEIVED All Such Reports Are Giv en Attention by Officers. —No Unusual Crowds in Morganton Now. Morganton, N. C„ June 25.—G4>)— Morganton returned to normalcy this morning after nearly a week’s mad searching for Broadus Miller, negro clubber of attractive Gladys Kinenid. 15 year old Morganton girl. Although information from the sheriff's office was that the man hunt which has spread into two states, was being con tinued by officials, no usual crowds milled abound the court house today. An early morning report from Col lettesville, mountainous settlement of Caldwell County that a negro fitting the description of Miller had been seen there, took out a small imrty of deputies in speeding automobiles and another party was continuing the search nroiiinl Adako, far back in the mountains of Burke county. Many members of the sheriff's de partment believe that the Adnko re port is the most authentic clue yet received. Yesterday it was the gener al opinion that Miller was actually in the Hoke's Store settlement, but search in that direction is understood 'to have been abandoned last night. BYRD NOT LIKELY TO FLY BEFQRE MONDAY There Is Possibility. However, That Weather Will Be Better by Tomor row. New York, June 25.—(A 5 )—The mid morning report of the weather bureau today set Monday as the first date when there seemed a likelihood of fav orable conditions for the takeoff for France of the monoplnne America, but there remained a possibility that the “The region between here and New Foundland where fog has prevented a takeoff during the past few days.” said the weather forecaster, “is rapid ly clearing up, but worpe conditions are on the way from a storm center over the Lake region. “It is hardly possible that Com mander Byrd will be able to beat this new disturbance.

Cooper Calm Under Se vere Cross Examination, j MANY WOMEN IN THE COURT ROOM Nurse Denies She Had Any Part in Death of Former Employer and Sticks to Story She Told Friday. Asheville, June 25. —(A 3 )—The pros ecution began a bitter eross examina tion of Mrs. Anna K. Montague, 45 years old. on trial for the murder of Mrs. Mary R. Cooper, 61, her em ployer, in an effort to break down the plausible story the neenssed woman told yesterday afternoon on the witness stand. Just when the case will go to the jury depends upon to what extent the State carries its eross examination. The defense has a dozen witnesses to offer after Mrs. Montague leaves the stand, but their testimony is expected to be short. Clad in a modish tan dress, a wide hnt, cream colored stockings and black shoes, Mrs. Montague presented a de fiant and slightly pathetic figure on the stand. She answered question after question fired at her by the state’s attorneys without hesitation in a firm clear voice. She even smiled once or twice. Probably the greatest crowd of the three days of the trial was present to hear the accnsed woman’s testi mony today. Women in the court room outnumbered men two to one. More than 1,000 persons were In the court room and another thousand was outside unable to secure entrance. Many carried tlieir lunch. Late this morning the State's ques tioning had failed in any way to 1 shake the positiveness of Mrs. Montague's denial of implication in the killing. The body of Mrs. Cooper was found the morning of May 10th. throat cut and skull fractured, in a vacant lot next to her borne. If the State,, suc ceeds in its attempt to iuniiieat/Mi’s. Montague, who spent the night of May Oth in the Cooper home, it will have done so entirely on circumstantial evi- j denee. State College Student Win Honors. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. June 25.—Honor of a most unusual kind came to the State of North Carolina yesterday when the first and third prizes in a national oratorical contest held in California were won by H. J. Oberholzer and Hardy Ray, respectively, both stu dents of State College, Raleigh. Mr. Oberholzer, who carried off the first prize of SISOO, entered State College last fall, enrolling with the junior class i nthe School of Agricul ture. He is a native of South Africa and came all the way to North Caro lina to complete his education at the lialeigh institution. Credito for his performance as a forensic contestant is due largely to Prof. I’. C. Cunningham, head of the Public Speaking work at State Col lege, who early Recognized the oratori cal possibilities of the South African, although this student came to State College without previous speaking ex perience and in fact with a limited experience in the use of the English language. Mr. Rary, who won the third prize of $750, is a native of Raleigh. He began his education at State ('allege taking public speaking under l’rof. Cunningham also.

Newton Wins Fight To Get Highway No. 10 Through Town Raleigh, June 25. ——On ap peal. the town of Newton won its ease before the Supreme Court, to have the State Highway Commission con struct a hard surface road as soon as isissible over the existing southern route between Statesville and Newton on Highway No. 10. Justice Brogden. writing the rever sal enjoined the Highway Commission for abandoning “the existing road in Catawba county as a permaneht link in the state system of highways, to the end that the work done thereon shall be of such character as will lead to ultimate hard surface construction as rapidly as money, labor and mater ial will permit." Chief Justice Stacey and Just'ce Adams concurred in part, and dissent ed ill part with the court’s ruling, sim ply declaring “we agree with the ma jority that the application for a writ of mandamus was properly denied. We d : ssent from the order enjoining the defendant (Commision) from aban doning the existing road in Oatawba County gs a permanent link in slate system of highways.” pertains entirely to the manner in which the laws regulating working Conditions of women are being ob served by the various industries con eerned nnd the manner in which they are being enforeed. And about the only laws along this line are the ones requiring seats for women em ployed in factories, those governing the number of hours they may work in specitir occupations, and those gov erning sanitary provisions such as separate toilets for the different races and the specifications for them. Con ditions regarding ventilation, temper ature and drinking water are also under the control of the commission. So it is that the report of Mr. Carter deals with these questions, but no others. Thus while it is admitted by Mrs. Johnson that as far as this report goes it is a good report, she further contends that it is so limited in its sco|ie that it cannot in any sense be considered anything like a thorough survey of the working conditions of women in industry. "‘Of course, it is not what the women wanted," said a high “State of ficial who has closely followed the controversy over the survey of women. "For they wanted a survey that would go into the homes, the offices, the • department stores and every place that : women worked and note their physical and mental and even financial eondi- 1 tions and degree of satisfaction, al most even tabulating any pimples or 1 moles that might be found on their I bodies, and have the whole presented 1 in one grand, final report. Some even ■ advocated a physical examination of I all women employed to determine the | percentage of veneral disease among 1 women. "But such a survey with the funds in hand or contemplated was patently ] impossible, and from many other con siderations utterly impracticable, since ! any survey that would contemplate ( the entering of private homes would ( be very difficult. "So while the facts and figures gathered by Mr. Carter do not in any sense go as far as many of the women , desired, at the same time they give , a fairly accurate picture of the most | pertinent conditions relating to women . wlm are employed, as any that have yet been collected. So in a sense, it , may bo considered as a fairly accurate survey of working conditions for wom en in the state.” So the biennial report of the Child Welfare Commission is or is not a ( survey of women in industry, depend- ( ing entirely how one looks at it.

JlPMijp PBKTUfPaCE PICT TO HERO At Geneva It Is Expected That Such Proposal Will Be Offered by Japanese Delegates at Once. SEEMS CERTAIN TO BE OFFERED Any Proposal Along This Line Will Be Given Full and Serious Considera tion by the Americans. Geneva, June 2."i.—C4 3 )—Overtures by Japan with a view to the signing of a perpetual peace pact with the I'nlted States are expected in author itative circles of the tri-partite naval conference. Notwithstanding denials by both the Japanese delegates and Hugh S. Gib son. head of the American delegation, that any such suggestions have been made, competent observers persisted in the belief today that when he had assurance that the overtures would have a chance of being favorably con sidered. Admiral Viscount Saito, the Japanese spokesman, possibly would propose a treaty outlawing war be tween Ills country and the I'nited States. As the conference neared the close of its first week's deliberations to harmonize the views of the three participating nations on the best way to bring about a reduction in naval armaments, it appeared that the Brit ish were withdrawing somewhat from their desire to reopen questions set tled at the Washington conference in 1!)22. chiefly the matter of further re ducing the size of capital ships. This apparent change came after the American and Japanese delega tions notified the British officially that the present conference had no author ity to dismiss decisions which were part of the Washington pact. Al though the two delegations at the re quest of the British decided to ask Washington and Tokio whether the conference might re-examine the ques tion of the size of the battleships, cruisers and aircraft carriers, it is not exiiected the governments will deviate from their original programs; Japan's desire to he's flowed To con struct as many light craft including submarines, all below 700 tons, as she deems necessary, remains un changed, despite persistent rumors that her delegation was reconsidering at least the submarine feature of the project. DAWSON HAS QUIT STATE CHAIRMANSHIP Kinston Man Will Call Democratic Executive Committee Soon to Name Successor. Raleigh. X. C., June 4.—John G Dawson, of Kinston, tonight an nounced here his resignation of the chairmanship of the state democratic executive committee. “The one reason prompting my resignation is,” Mr. Dawson said, "that my personal and professional matters need my attention sorely. It does not seem that I should longer neglect them as to retain the chair manship would necessarily mean. "At an early date, I shall call the committee together to accept my resignation and elect my successor.” Mr. Dawson has been chairman of the eommitte for years. Mr. Dawson announced his plans to retire in the following statement: "Obeying a conclusion deliberate ly reached I have decided to resign the chairmanship of the state demo cratic executive committee. I take this course with reluctance, not be cause my longer service might be advantageous to the party, but be cause a liberal portion of its mem bership has appenred to desire that 1 contiftue. "The one reason prompting my resignation is that my personal and professional matters need my atten tion sorely. It does not seem that I sould longer neglect them, as to re tain the chairmanship would neces sarily mean. The position draws more on one's time, thought and resources than many can pos sibly understand. ‘‘But my interest in the party’s welfare will not abate; it will in crease with each succeeding effort which dmoeracy makes to promote the wonderful program of achieve gient so conspicuously attained al ready. and which is of so much Im portance to tfie state and its peo ple.
