THE NEWS-RECORD, MARSHALL, N. C. WD5 WD- Crowe, Scott and the Mount Mystery Here la new portrait of State'! Attorney Robert E. Crowe of Cook county, Illinois, who took personal charge of the Investigation of the mystery surrounding the death or dis appearance of Lelghton Mount of Northwestern university at Evanston, 111., when he saw that his subordinates were getting nowhere. He conducted Inquiries on three lines of theory: murder, manslaughter and suicide. None of the Inquiries came to any thing; the mystery simply grew dH;p er with the results of each day's Inves tigation. Then President Scott added to the mystery by offering In the name of the university a reward of $10,000 for the person or persons furnishing Information, "not already In the hand of the state authorities, that leads to the Indictment and conviction of any person or persons for the. murder sf Lelghton Mount; that leads to' the In dlctment and conviction of any per son or persons for manslaughter In connection with the death of Lelghton Mount resulting from a class rush ; that leads to. a determination by inquest that Lelghton Mount committed suicide ; that leads to the discovery of Lelgh ton Mount alive and his return to Evanston, 111." 0 GOMES 10 CLOSE DELEGATE8 ARE PLEASED WITH THEIR STAY IN NORTH CAROLINA. MEET NEXT IN PHILADELPHIA pfnt Feeling Pervaded Synod and There1 Was an Entire Absenoe of Controversy. Woman "Financial Wizard" in Gotham Here Is a portrait, Just taken, of Mrs. Myrtle & Hayes a "financial wizard," who has set all New York to talking about' a "second Cassle Chadwlck," a "feminine Ponil," and 11 that sort of thing. The largest guessers also talk about a "$3,000,000 fraud." Anyway, Mrs. Hayes has been Indicted on a charge of forging the name of Charles M. Schwab, the "steel king," to one of 17 notes totaling $325, 000. It appears that Mrs. Hayes pulled the purse strings of hard-headed busi ness men' by the naive statement : "You. know 'Charley' SchwabT He Is my dear friend. He'll back me for any amount. Why, look at this." - And thenshe displayed one of two agreements the one of December 17, 1022, In which "C. M. Schwab" agreed to stand behind her to the extent of a cool million, and another in which the Bethlehem Steel chairman wrote that Myrtle B. Hayes was "good" for $1,150,000. Mr. Schwab said that after word of the $25,000 note reached, him, he cut short his European trip and hastened back to America. He met Mrs. Hayes In his office and she frankly confessed she had forged his name to the note, Mr. Schwab said. Friends said Mrs. Hayes had at one time worked in Chicago as buyer for a department store. She married C. H. Hayes, a "gentleman farmer" from Pigeon Cove. Me., after divorce from Dr. Albert T. Graf of Los Angeles. J. M. Beck Called to the English Bar F 1,1 s ; AiC N K.AAV J The Masters of Cray's Inn bench havo called to the English bar James M. Beck, solicitor general of the Unit ed States, and the British barristers are quite excited about it. Sharp dif ferences of opinion and equally sharp criticism are being voiced by barris ters of the four English Inns of Court In London. A large section of Eng lish barristers take exception to the fact that for the first time In the his tory of the country, a foreign lawyer hag been admitted to practice here without having to go 'through any of the formalities for entrance; . which take three years-to complete. It Is also being pointed out not only that Mr. Beck has been admit ted to the bar over the strictest of all Jhe rules, namely, a barrister must satisfy the benchers that he' has not practiced law as a solicitor, a condi tion which would keep out Mr. Beck, wm-a it unfilled to hi rasp. Sn utrlctW - - ha Una. rule been enforced heretofore that it has kept out Australian barris ters when they have come front those states In which the professions of bar rister and solicitor are amalgamated. Solicitor General Beck will argue a case for the United States before the Privy Council in London In July. No foreign barrister has been permitted to argue a case before the Privy Council, and when that bery Informally con ski ered the matter It found It could not depart from precedents without the con sent of the bar. How Can American Women Aid Peace? Hickory. Delegates to the twenty first triennial Synod of the Reformed church In the United States, which adjourned here went to their homes In all parts of the United States with the feeling that their stay in North Carolina had been profitable from sev eral standpoints. ' They pointed out-that Synod was a harmonious body and Dr. J. C. Leon ard, its president, asserted that he. never saw an easier body of men to handle "These people tell me," President Leonard asserted that general Synod has never had such a royal rception anywhere. The people of Hickory and vicinity are royal .entertainers. The delegates came her with their eyes unopened and now see us as they never dreamed of the greatness of North Car olina." ' Dr. Rufus W. Miller, Philadelphia, secretary Sunday school board of pub lications, expressed his own apprecla tlon for the hospitality shown here and declared one of the outstanding features of the meeting was the em' phasis on service and co-operative ac tivity in Synod itself. , The church, he said, Is going forward, and he pointed to the large number- of laymen who remained for the close. Rev. W. W. Rowe. local pastor, de clared the thing that most impressed him as head, of the hostess church was the magnificent spirit displayed by Hickory people and the ease with which they entertained nearly 500 delegates. A fine feeling pervaded the general synod and the absence of controver sy showed that Its constitutents are more united than ever before on any thing for the good of the cause. For an entire week Hickory men and women who had been organized Ibr the purpose, were ready to meet any calls made upon them, and then In turn declared that the very finest delegates stayed at"our house." That about expresses the attitude of Hick ory folks on the Synod and its repre sentatives. The next nynod will be held at Phil arinlnhla In 19!. A ffiw routine, mat ters were dispose! of 'prior to adjust ment. Further publication of Zwingli s books was ordered, by .the synod and funds ' for this purpose were appro priated. The name of the religious education commission was changed to board of Christian education. IMTR0YE0 UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. P. B. F1TZWATER. D.

Red Springs Girl Wins Fellowship. Red Springs. Miss Mary Conloy, Red Springs, a graduate of the class of 1918 of Flora Macdonald who last year was awarded a fellowship in mathematics by , the General Educa tion Board of New York and who has been studying at George" Peabody In stitute in Nashville. Tenn., has again received the fellowship. She was re commended for the award by the lat ter institution in view of her credible work during the year.

Wallace, chair- man of the board or trustees oi I Greensboro College, the cqlloge for ' young women ' of the Methodist of North Carolina, that a campaign for . endowment of halt a- million dollars for the college wlil be started soon. Officer .Seriously Woueded. Lumberton. Hubbard Lowery, chief of Pembroke, and for 20 years a dep uty sheriff of Robeson county, was seriously, if not mortally wounded, wheq a man by the name Of 'Lock lear Bhot him with a breech loading shot gun, loaded with number 8 shot, as the officer was discharging hit. duty as tax collector. The shooting took place about three miles west of Pembroke near the home of Docket? Brooks whom It is said, told Lockya to shoot the officer. Nelirmlah was a cupbearer to the Persian king. While performing his duty ns cupbearer, he learned of the distress of ills brethren In Jerusalem Having secured a leave of absence from the Persian court and credentials from the king, he Journeyed to Jerusa lem. After resting three days without disclosing his purpose to anyone, he made a survey of the walls by night, Having thus obtnincd first-hand Infor mation, he called the representatives of the Jews together and said, "Let us build the walls of Jerusalem." I. Preparation for the Building (Clinp. 3).' The division of lnb.or In this project shows Nehemlah s administrative obll It y. A wise distribution of labor makes difficult tasks easy. Note some out standing features of this great work : 1. Stress . Laid Upon Indifference (3:5). In administrative tasks It Is Just that unfaithfulness should be pointed out. Such action will be warning to some and encouragement to others. In that It shows, the Integrity of the director. 2. Help Rendered by Women (3 :12) Perhaps Shallum had no sons to aid him. It was a fine thing for the worn en to help, even In huildlng a wall, when there were no men to do It. 3. Stress Laid Upon Earnestness (3 :20). If one knows that his faithful ness will be recognized, he will earnest Iv pursue his tasks. 4. Every One Built Over Against His Own House (3:10, 23, 28). No incen tlve to exertion is quite so strong as that which concerns one's own family, 5. Certain Guilds of Men Undertook Certnln Work (3:8, 31, 32). Wise ad- ministration sometimes calls for such alignment of efforts. Men of the same class and craft will surely work better together. ' II. Hindrances Encountered (4:1 6:14). ' 1. Scoffing of Sanballut and Tobiah (4:1-6; cf. 2:19, 20). The opposers of God's servants usually begin by hurl ing at .them shafts of ridicule. They called the Jews a feeble folk and as serted that the tread of a prowling fox would break down their stone wall. 2. Conspiracy for a Sudden Attack (4:7-9"). When the enemy saw that the work was actually succeeding they changed from ridicule to an attempt to throw the workmen Into a panic. When the enemy cannot succeed by scoffing they resort to intimidation. A S. Conspiracy With the Jews (4:10- 23). They sought by means of the Jews from the outside to discourage their brethren by showing that the task was hopeless and that at any time they were subject to a sudden and se cret attack. 4. Greed and Oppression of the Rulers (5:1-13). The Jews of that day, like, the profiteers of our time, took advantage of the poor and op pressed them so that they mortgaged their-land and sold their daughters Into slavery. Nehemlah boldly rebuked them for their crimes and ordered a restoration to be made, exacting an oath of them that they would fulfill their promises. 5. Plot to Take. Nehemiah's Life (8:1-14). When Sanb'allat and Tobiah failed In. every way they sought by craft to get Nehemlah away that they might kill him. III. The Wall Completed (6:15-7:4). So energetically did they pursue their tasks that In fifty-two days the wall was completed. When the ene mies heard that In spite of all their schemes the work was actually fin ished they were dejected, for they per ceived that fhe work was of 3od. We may learn from this: 1. That God s children are assailed by enemies, but in view of Romans 6:31 they should not fear. , 2. That when attacked by enemies we should pray (4:9). Their faith was accompanied by wise precautlon Ing: (1) Set a wrftch (4:9). (2) Men were permitted to be with their fami lies (4:13) and thus, would fight bet ter. , (3) Half worked and half watched, nil armed for battle (4:16). '(4) They worked with srtord in one hand (4:17). (5) They slept In their clothes In readiness (4:23). Prayef and faith are not slothful or Inactive. -, . , Everything. Everything without tells the Individ ual that he Is nothing; everything within persuades him that he is every thing. X. Doudan. . . Easier Than te Think.

I am a methodical housekeeper, for which I have been severely crltlclr.ed by my mother-In-lnw, und her daugh ter, who are more happy-go-lucky tliun I, about their work. One day I discovered a moth In my flat and decided, without delay, to clean out all the clothes closets and trunks. My rooms were In utter confusion when the doorbell rang and, to my dismay,' my mother-in-law entered with guests. She had a happy, conn dent look upon her face, which, how ever, syn turned to one of consterna tion when she saw the state of my flat. After a short visit she too'k me aside and said, In an Indignant voice: "Lulu, knowing what an Immaculate house keeper you are, I brought these two delegates to visit your home, In prefer ence to my 'daughter's, and this Is what I find."
