TASK OF RAISING WATERLOGGED BOAT BEGUN YESTERDAY Timbers From Schooner Jose phine WilMbe Used in Hotel at Bald Head After having: lain waterlogged at the bottom of the river, for 10 months, efforts to raise the hull of the three masted schooner Josephine, were be gun yesterday afternoon by the Dia mond Steamboat and recking com P8Capt James S. Williams stated yes terday afternoon that he was not sure what methods would be followed out In raising the hull of the big sailing craft, nor did he have any idea as to how much time would be consumed in completing the task. The hull lies on the bottom of the river, just east of the mooring basin, and south of the terminals of the Clyde Steamship company. She was towed to this position and allowed to sink months ago, after she had made this port in a sinking condition fol lowing a severe storm off the North Carolina coast. Her cargo of lumber, bound from a southern port to New York, was sold to the Southern Construction company, of Hamlet. Some of the vessel's cargo was removed by the purchasers, but there remains in her hull approxi mately three hundred thousand board feet. T. F. Boys, head of the Southern Construction company, was purchaser of the disabled craft and her cargo, and it was announced immediately after the sale that the lumber yould be used for the construction of a hotel on Bald Head Island, at the mouth of the Cape Fear river.

Henderson, widow of the late Senator Henderson, of Mis souri, today offered a newly built residence, an imposing structure on 10th street, to the government as the official residence of the vice president. The gift is intended as a memo rial to her husband and her son, John Brooks Henderson, 2nd., who died recently, Mrs. Henderson said in a letter to Chairman Warren, of the senate appropriation committee. The residence iw« of white stone, and is said to be valued at $500,000. Vice-President Coolidge lives at a hotel, as most former vice-presi dents have done. An act of congress would be ne cessary to authorise acceptance of the gift, by the government. Ismet Pasha Declines to Comment on Allied Proposal to Adjourn LAUSANNE, Jan. 25.— (By the As sociated Press.)—Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation, declined to night to comment on the announced allied project to adjourn the near eastern conference by the end of next week, whether peace was signed or not. The allies hope that publication of their plans will have sufficient psycho logical pressure to induce the Turks to yield on the disputed points. Both French and Italians rallied rather reluctantly to the procedure laid down by the British and they were careful to say tonight that there could be no question of a definite rupture which would lead to re newed war. but all will depend on the nature of the answer the Turks give when the allied treaty if definitely presented. The British announced tonight that al*discussion before the commissions will end Saturday night. The allied draft treaty will be presented to the Turks Wednesday, the intervening time being devoted to the completion of the draft. The Turks again insisted today at the conference session that the British cemeteries in Gallipoli must be re duced in size. This was the last meet ing to discuss this subject. A British spokesman said later: “The Turkish attitude on this ques tion is monstrous.” House Approves Judiciary Committee Action Giving Mr. Daugherty Clean Bill (Continued from Page One.) ested” in the prosecution of the Keller charges despite his denial that he had had any connection with their prepa ration. The chairman devoted much of his prepared address, however, to an attack on Mr. Keller. Mr. Volstead charged that Mr. Kel ler, from the first, had treated the com mittee in an “insolent" manner; that he had written the committe an “in sulting and abusive letter,” and that he “and his henchmen" knew from the first that they did not have the evi dence to support the charges. Representative Thomas defended Mr. Keiler, who is in Florida .recuperating from a recent illness. He declared that the Minnesota member had shown no “insolence,'’ but that on the other hand members of the committee had heckled him and his counsel from the start of the public hearings. There was a sharp clash between the K/entucky member of Mr. Volstead when Mr Thomas charged that the chairman had "deleted" the original record of the hearings. Mr. Volstead vigorously denied the charge, but Mr. Thomas insisted upon it, declaring that at one stage of the hearings the chair had peremptorily commanded Mr. Kel ler to “sit down” while the official record made it appear that the com mand had been a “mild” request. Interrupting the long debate, Rep resentative Garrett, of Tennessee, the Democratic leader, asked 'why the house was disregarding a long estab lished precedent! and acting upon an adverse report on an impeachment res olution. He argued that the report of the committee ended the matter and that no action should be taken, but Mr. Volstead declared the charges were “solemn” ones and should be dis posed of. There was a split in party lines on the proposition to give Mr. Daugherty a clean bill of health, 12 Republicans voting in the negative and 10 Demo crats in the offirmative. The Republi cans were Beck, Browne, Cooper, Lam pert, John M. Nelson and Voigt, of Wis consin; Dowell, Kopp and Sweet, of Iowa; James and Woodruff, of Michi gan; and Sinclair, of North Dakota. The Democrats voting, in the affirma tive were Bland, Deal, Montague and Woods, of Virginia; Blanton, of Texas; Byrnes and Dominick, of South Carolina; Dupre, of Louisiana; Fisher, of Tennessee; and Lea, of California. National Guard Are Ordered to Kinston RA'LEIGH, Jan. 25.—Foil owing request from Solicitor J. A.

Further Investigate State Medical School Findings to be Reported to Uni versity Trustees at Meet ing February 6 RALEIGH, Jan. 2o.—After a Ions de bate which continued until nearly mid night the trustees of the University* of North Carolina, in session here toflight voted a motion to appoint a committee to further consider the proposed med ical college and receive any proposi tion thereon and report back to a gen eral session of the trustees on Febru ary 6 to be held in Raleigh. The committee, under the chairman ship of Dr. H. W. Chase, president of the University, will hold its first meet ing tomorrow. Report of the special committee ap pointed by Governor Camek-on Morrison to investigate the proposed medical school, and a minority report were read to the board of trustees of the univer sity in session here tonight. The majority report signed by Dr. Chase, president o,f the university, urg ed the establishment of the college at Chapel Hill, pointed out that an ap propriation of $1,250,000 for a 200-bed hospital would be needed and called into consideration the fact that the present two-year course was a factor in favor of the additional establish ment. Edgar Pharr, representative in the house from Mecklenburg county, pre sented the minority report which sought to show the advantages which would accrue to the state as a whole by location of the school at Charlotte. The report set out that because of the clinical advantages owing to Char lotte's position in a field which reach ed a wide area of industrial activity, that city would be the most logical sit uation. Low maintenance funds would be a feature, the report said, and nat ural advantages could be offered in the way of a site for the school and hospi tal facilities. reatures or Army Bill Are Assailed WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.—Several features of the army bill, as it passed the house, were assailed by Secretary Weeks today before the senate sub committee having the measure in charge. The stipulation that boys under 21 can not enlist in the army without the written consent of their parents was declared by the secretary to be such a blow at the recruiting service as to vnake it 'doubtful whether the army could be kept at authorized strength. Mr. Weeks also objected vig orously to the provision which would bar Majow General Harbord, who re cently retired to become head of a ra dio concern, from drawing retirement pay. The stipulation, he said, consti tuted a reflection on the. integrity of army officers. Opposition to the river and harbor plans of the house was expressed by the secretary who insisted that the appropriation for such purposes should be restricted to the budget estimate. He further stated that he wanted to emphasize the Importance of restoring reserve Officers’ headquar ters which had been eliminated by the house and he also favored a more lib eral appropriation for the training of reserve officers. In asking that the national guard appropriation be increased to the budget estimate. Secretary Weeks stat ed that the guard is now in fine shape, with a better quality of enlisted men and with better officers who are bet ter trained. Consolidation of army posts through out the country in the interests of ef ficiency and economy was suggested to the sub-committee by Secretary Weeks who stated that he was hftving a study made with that end in view. He. there fore, urged that no further appropria tions for permanent establishments be made at posts which might in the near future be abolished. The World war had demonstrated, the secretary said, that it would be feasible to consider a new plan of for tification defense under which many of the present forts, now obsolte, would be abandoned. IN THE LEGISLATURE (By (he Associated Press.) The good roads bill failed to come to its third reading- and final vote in the house today by early adjournment to attend the meeting of the trustees of the University of North Carolina. The state-owned ship bill, favorably reported by the senate committee on water commerce, went to the appro priations committee of the senate af ter spirited debate over its disposal. Representatives of the merchants as> soclatlon from more than 20 cities ap peared before the house committee on constitutional amendments to urge the passing of the garnishment bill, and then went before house Judiciary com mittee number one to support the sub stitute bill for the Matthews bad check law. Neither bill was reported out. A Joint sitting of the house judiciary committee number one and the senate corporations committee failed' to pass on the Dillard bill to repeal the act which granted certain rights to the Tennessee-Carolina Waterpower com pany in Cherokee county, but the meas ure was turned over to a sub-commit tee for compromise. French Occupation Condemned by Workers LONDON, Jan. 25,—The general council of the National Transport Workers Federation today passed reso lution condemning the Frencji occu pation of the Ruhr and also calling upon the government to withdraw the British troops. STATE LAWYERS TO MEET >' ‘AT BLOWING ROCK NEXT RALEIGH, ,-Jan.' 25^-Tho executive committee of the North Carolina Bar association today selected' Blowing Rock as the place for the annual meet ing of the association this year.

Wewlll.pall for it if you will phone 5i. .x Larerul Selection and Use of Food * Is Real Economy “Waste not, want not" is as good a maxim'today as when our great-grand t fathers wrote it in their copy books. By careful purchase and use of food, savings are effected for the house | keeper which can be applied advan tageously to Other- departments of liv ing, such as having more conveniences, more attractive clothes, more recrea j tion, or longer education. At the same time, the producers of foods—the farm er and his wife—are helped by intelli gent purchasing because it involves a greater variety of products, the choice of locally grown, easily transportable foods, vegetables and fruits in season, And the abandoning of food prejudices. Know What to Bay ■' The United States department of ag riculture suggests a number of econ omies in the management of the fam ily food, most of which were willingly practiced during the World war, but gradually neglected as times have be come more prosperous. To make the income go as far as possible, the housekeeper must know what consti tues proper food for the family, and buy only enough for the household needs. Farmers’ Bulletin 808, “How to Select Foods. I. What the Body Needs,” will"help her determine these needs. When strict economy Is neces sary she can learn from this bulletin how to choose the less expensive from each of the various groups of foods that together provide adequate nour ishment. These less expensive foods are often the common every-day prod ucts which constitute the farmer’s main crop; a steady demand for them stabilizes the farmer’s market and ben efits everybody. One way to avoid wasteful purchas ing is to know how much of eacl\ kind of food—butter, sugar, flour, coffee, vegetables, cereals, etc., is needed each week. By shopping only once or twice a week and giving orders a great deal of time is saved and ftne may of ten take advantage of better prices. Comparison of prices, values, and qual ity in different stores is an advantage when it is possible. Products in sea son are likely to be cheaper than out of season delicacies. Buying by weight is now required for most fruits and vegetables; when staples come in car tons the customer should estimate the cost of the goods by the pound. Burnt Food Is Wasted Food After food enters the kitchen it is literally throwing money away to al low any of it to be wasted. Burnt food, spoiled food, and a full garbage pail are all evidences of thriftless housekeeping. Unless one plans In ad vance how to use up the extra mate rial, it is, of course, better to buy closely and avoid left-overs. When left-over food is on hand some use should be found for it which does not involve much additional material, much time for preparation, or extra fuel for cooking. If the size of each portion served is adapted to the person for whom it is intended, children can more easily be taught the "gospel of the clean plate.” It is no longer considered a mark of good manners to leave a lit tle hit of uneaten food on the plate. Abandon Food Prejudice* Well-seasoned food is always accept able, and in planning economical meals it must be remembered that the nutri tive value is more important than spe cially choice flavor and texture. Chil dren should be discouraged from dis criminating against a wholesome food if there is no question of a flavor really distasteful to many palates. There is no reason, fqr instance, for discrimi nating' against oali.mteal or wheat breakfast food, lor rice, since all these cereals are mild flavored and agree able when properly cooked. Occasion ally one hears of some abnormal per son who is actually made ill by foods such as eggs or strawberries, whloh are ordinarily wholesome, but such cases are very rare and easily distin guished from a mere prejudice. It is comprehensible that the enjoyment of certain fftods such as oysters, olives, pimientoes, strong cheese, or rhubarb may be an acquired taste, but if a real effort is made to overcome prejudices against such materials the variety in the diet may be greatly increased. Little Economy In Cooking Any way of cooking which regains in the food the largest proportion of nu tritive substances is a good method. Meats cooked’en casserole, in their own gravy or In a fireless cooker accom plish this aim. If white and sweet po tatoes are boiled in their skins they can be easily peeled after cooking and not so much of the valuable mineral matters cook out into the water. Spin ach, greens, asparagus, squash, cooked cucumbers, and other succulent vege tables are better steamed than boiled. The water in which suitably seasoned vegetables have been cooked can fre quently be utilized for soups. Water drained from potatoes or rice thickens soup or gravy or is good in bread making. When the oven is heated, it saves fuel to cook as many things as possible in it. Headaches From Hliprht Colds Laxative BROMO QUININE Tablets re lieve the Headache by curing the Cold.

Is Governor Parker, Foe of Masked Tribe? f BATON RAUGE, La.,;Jan. 21.—What sort of a man is Gov. John M. Parker, who has set about it to stamp out masked terrorism in Louisina— Who went to President Harding to demand federal aid when evidence reached him that masked bands had supplant Ad the civil authorities in parts of Louisiana— . Who, out of his own pocket, paid for the present investigation dt the murders of two by hooded mobs in Morehouse parish— And who now proposes to call a special session of the statd legisla ture" to legislate masked secret or ganizations out of existence and to jmpeach the civil authorities of More house parish? Parkgp is a farmer, a cotton dealer, a golfer, a hunter, a former intimate friend of Theodore Roosevelt and in many respects his. life is very similar to that of Roosevelt. Friend of Roosevelt Parker was born in 1863 at Bethel Church, Miss, He entered the cotton business in New Orleans in 1880 and still owns a cotton factory there. He was the Progressive party nomi nee-for vice-president of the United States in 1916. He became governor of Louisiana in 1920 and his term will last until 1924. -Then his friends want him to run for the United States senate, but he says he won’t. Golfing and hunting are his hobbies. He can beat the best at golf. And the bears and wildcats of Louisiana swamps can tell of his prowess as a hunter. Once on a hunt with Theodore Roose velt, Parker laid his rifle aside, at tacked a bear with his hunting knife and dispatched it. Everybody in Louisiana is eithe Parker’s friend of his enemy—there’s no half way about it. Parker is straight as an arrow and of medium build. He possesses none of the languor the northerner asso ciates with those of the south. He always walks as if he were about to catch a train. The governor Is a wealthy man. He owns a big farm near St. Francisville, La.,- and another at his birthplace, Bethel Church, Miss. He spends his money generously for those who need it. In 1909, when the boll weevil swept through the cotton district, funds supplied by Parker kept many a cotton grower’s head above water until the trouble was past. Probably no one not a scientist has a better knowledge of the habits of birds and wild animals than Parker. Besides he’s a natural mimic. He de lights in imitating owls, which he does so perfectly he can call owls to him when driving at night. Knows the West Parker is similar to Roosevelt in that he was born a weak and puny boy. Like Roosevelt, he went west and took to range-riding and cattle punching. There he gained the mar velous constitution he possesses to day. “Never quit la fig'^t because you figure it is a forlorn hope,” is Par ker's motton. j That's the kind of a man who’s pledged himself to tear the masks from the terrorists of Louisiana. Watch what he reveals under it. MEASURE TO REPEAL CHARTER OF POWER COMPANY REFERRED (Continued from Page One.) the company now-under legislative fire, and which has staked out dam sites on the umt general portion of the river airea..y established for the Carolina Tennessee Power company, and his company. This litigation has flieen almost con- : tinuous for some ten years, he stated, with uniform success in the courts for the Carolina-Tennessee Power com- ] pany. Both he" and Mr. Powellson stat ed that the delay in beginning dam construction has been due to the un- . willingness of capital to risk the haz- . ards of investment in a situation com plicated by suit. Mr. Powellson stated ■■ that his company has bona fide plans for large development and will proceed as quickly as possible in the matter. Mr. Gardner declared the legislature the improper forum for trial of this case or remedy for the Cherokee peo ple, asserting that there is ample law ■ for getting their case before the courts an-di he asked the committee to hold the contract of the state with the char- ' tered company inviolate. i ] Great Britain’s Debt Seven Billion Pounds LONDON, Jan. 2B.—An official an- < nouncement made today on the status ' of the British national debt on March J 31, 1922, shows that the debt on that i date totalled 7,742,52-6,147 pounds.
