Chief Justice Walter Clark sat l.n thi- Supreme court room yesterday afternoon to hear the case brought liy Itoscoe Aycrs. formerly of Roa noke, Vii., to get possession of his little six years old girl, who was kid napped by her own mother from Dur ham last Friday.

The mother "sent a message1 to tlio Ut'le. girl" tocora ,-OWt.on .ihft street and there told her she was her mother and sang some baby songs to her, which the child remembered. Then the two went In a carriage to a place about 12 miles from Raleigh, and thence came here on a train and Mopped at a boarding house. The husband had a wild chase, and first went westward, but found his wife was here with the child and came to llulclgh In an automobile.

The husband mid wife had a long private talk In the consultation room f the court during the afternoon, but could come to no agreement. Chief Justice Clark ordered that the child be taken back by the father to Mrs. Rogers at Dur ham, and that the case be heard on Its merits a week from next Friday. The child Is quite pretty and played bout the court room very artlessly. Immigrant Question.

WEST Charlotte Creditors Sought to I Secure Pulverizing Machine ery but Were Stopped. Although A. Lincoln West, presi dent and promoter of the West Pil- erizing Machine company, which was proposed to be constructed on the banks of the French Broad river, has gone to New Jersey or some other either warmer or cooler climate, the tangle that he left behind has not ceased to attract attention and cause some Aahevllle .creditors worry and trouble. The latest chapter In the case came today and is an outgrowth of an ac tion before Clerk Marcus Erwin of the Superior court when yesterday Thomas Settle, representing Alexan der and Gursed of Charlotte, appear ed before him and representing them selves as the original mortages of the machinery at the proposed site, ob tained an order on Sheriff Hunter to release the machinery to him. Tuck er & Lee, representing S. Sternberg and Ottis L. Oreen gave Sheriff Hunter notice that should he re lease the machinery ho would be held under his bond. At 11 o'clock today Clerk Erwin luld an other hearing at which both sides were represented and rescinded his former order and entered an order that the sheriff relcjaBe the machinery only upon the filing by tho Charlotte firm, of g bond for $1200 bblug double the value of thn machinery to await the flnat outcome of any controversy over the ownership of the property. It seems that West purchased the machinery from Alexander and Oar sed and gave a mortgage and the Aahevllle creditors, while admitting the mortgage, did not like to see the property taken away from them without their side being heard. Immediately thereafter Alexander and Oarsed gave notice of a suit be fore Magistrate Waddell at 4 o'clock this afternoon when they would ask for ISO damages against Messrs. Stern berg and Green. It Is probable that the hearing of this suit will be con tinued. . I Mrs. Margaret Barcha of Chicago Found Shot to Death in Her Home This Morning. .

The republican leaders are today casting about In an effort to perfect their plans for the coming county convention next Saturday in accord ance with the new order of things. That Mr. Pearson s letter was a bomb thrown squarely Into the camp was apparent last night and today. and after the smoke cleared away a new line-up became necessary. T. F, Roland, chairman of the con gressional executive committee, stated that instead of hurting the cause, as some would suppose, Mr, Pearsons letter had aroused the cohorts, and today there are plenty of willing' hands to take the standard of the party and bear it up during the com ng campaign, Mr. Roland said that he had more candidates today than at any previous time and that the con ventlon Saturday would nominate a highly acceptable man for the state jenute and one who would win. Just who this man is was not disclosed. Then, have been several shifts in the line-up and new ones are being talk ed of. r Headquarters Center of Interest. Republican headquarters this morn ing was a center of interest to repub licans and a number of the leaders and prospective candidates gathered there and discussed the "situation." Nothing was forthcoming, however, ts to the exact program. .' Mr. Roland says that he believes that the republicans are more enthu siastic today than they have been for inrne while for he says that they are aroused and therefore are more de termined to win, even If Mr. Pearson does decline to run. The county con vention will doubtless prove interest ing. Will Delegate Be Instructed? The delegates from Buncombe to the republican state convention which meets August 10 were selected at the time the delegates to the congres sional and Judicial conventions were selected In April.

The solicitors race Is becoming In teresting and both C, B. Mashburn of Madison and J.'L. English of Tran sylvania are developing considerable strength and It Is hard to predict just who will be nominated. Fred W.
