Wilmington, Feb. 4.?The editor of J

1.?Do you know of any violations *
of the election laws in the primary or
the" campaign prior thereto ? ?'
2.?Have you any knowledge of >
any money spent on behalf of candi
dates in the primary, and if so, how I
much and how used. '
3.?Do you know of any persons '

much? . 1
. 4.?Do you know'of any fraudulent
use of the absentee ballot, and if so,

CALL FINANCIERS
IN BONUS BATHE
Garner Sees Move * As Dilatory
Effort f Signs Of Compromise
Increasing; "A Wound Stripe
For The Big Purse" Suggest
ed by Rep. Rankin of Miss.
Washington, Feb. 3. ? Owen D.
Young and a half dozten other indus
trials were called last night to coun
sel the House ways and mleans com-,
mittee on plans to pay cash on vet
erans' bonus certificates.
Chairman Hawley announced the
heads of General Motors, the Ameri-i
can Radiator Company, the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company and
others would appear in -prolonged I
hearings, while Chairman Smoot call
ed the Senate finance committee to
meet in executive session tomorrow.
Hawiey's action drew instant com
plaint of "delay" -and "one-sidedness"
from Minority Leader Garner. It
came at the end of a day of new
warnings, at both ends of the capi
tol, that economic disaster would fol
low the floating of a $3,500,000,000
bond issue to cover the cost. The
House committee also heard advocat
es forecast beneficial results to busi
ness from enactment of the proposals.
There was talk, meanwhile, of a
compromise that would succeed at
this session. Representative Patman,
of Texas, a Democratic sponsor of
immediate redemption, said Senator
Vanderberg, Republican, Michigan,
had expressed belief, after a visit to
the White House that a 50 per cent
increase in loans allowed on certifi
cates and a reduction of interest
would be acceptable to the adminis
tration.
Charles E. Mitchell, chairman of
the National City Bank of New York,
predicted before the Senate banking
sub-committeiej that "hundreds" of
small bank failures would follow a
bond issue to pay the full value of
the certificates.
Alfred P. Sloan, president of Gen
eral Motors, has been asked to tes
tify tomorrow. He has not responded,
hut is expected. W. H. George, of the v
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
will be heard also. So will E. D. Duf
field, of the Prudential Life Insur
ance Company; Clarende W. .Woodley,
of the American Radiator Company,
and Samuel W. Reyburn, of Lord and
Taylor, N6w York.
Young, the chairman of the board
of General Electric, has arranged to
give his views later this week, with
George E. Roberts, of the National
City Bank, New York, and George
Harrison, Governor of the New York
Federal Reserve Bank.
"The hearings could have been j
completed by tomorrow," said Gar- .
her, author of one pending bill. "The ?
chairman summoned this host of fin
anciers. And I think that the delay is
totally unnecessary. Of course, the
financiers are against this legisla- -
tion." <
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
of Mississippi, argued that the bonus
could be paid by increasing the in
come tax of individuals in the higher
brackets. He suggested that "we put ^
a wound stripe on the purses" of the i
wealthy citizens who, he said, profited ,
by the war.
Representative Brand, Democrat,
Georgia, told the committee that he 1
believed some small banks would fail !
if the legislation went through, but ^
that "they would recover" through the ?
return of better business and indus
try.
WORLD WAR BOMB
INVENTOR DIES IN LONDON
London, Feb. 4.?Frederick Marten
Hale, inventor of the Hale bomb,
with which the first Zeppelin was des
troyed, and the first U-boat sunk dur
ing the World War, died here yester
day at the age of 66.
The Hale rifle grenade and the
Hale aircraft bomb were the only
weapons of that type available for
the British and French forces when
the World War began. One of the air
craft bombs was dropped on a hangar
at Duesseldorf, Germany, in October,
1914, destroying the ship sheltered
there, and the same type of bomb
brought down a Zeppelin in midair
the next year.
-A higji explosive Hale torpedo sank
the firet U-boat during the war, and
many hundreds of thousands of Hale
bombs and more than ten million Hale
rifle grenades were used di*d*g the
war.
Mr. Hale had beeil f|gn0fMB~the
study and; manufacture of high ex
plosives since 1896. He was the first
to propose and invent the depth
charge used against submarines.

BETTER BUSINESS CHECKS
/ STIMULATING BUSINESS
With the Mine id,ea in view, which
served as the inspiration of the Round
Robin Cheek, the Rotary- Club here is
sponsoring the Better Business Cheek.
These cheda are certified and are is
sued from the Bank of Farmvilie fn
$6 denominations, and a few of the
60 checks agreed upon are being put
into circulation daily.
The Better Business Check?is in
tended to be used only in paying off
obligations, and cannot be cashed un
til it has been endorsed by ten people.
Several instances-where it has passed
through the same hands several times
have been reported. When the 50
checks are returned! to the coffers of
the bank again, $2,500.00 of debts'of
persons in this .community will have
been settled.
The movement is widespread thru
out the country, and is receiving daily
impetus. We note a Greenville, Tenn.,
communication which states that the
city has issued checks of $10 denomi
nations, resniring 50 endorsements,
which will pay of $500 indebtedness.
Roger W. Babson, noted philosoph
er and sage of the financial world is
quoted as saying that $100 in such
checks, if circulated fast enough will
pay off a community's debts.
Let us get busy and help circulate
the Better Business Checks here in
Farmvilie. ,
