PUN MAMMOTH -
POWER SYSTEM
TO TIE TOGETHER ALL POWER
BITES IN WESTERN NORTH
CAROLINA.
Charlotte, N. C. A stupendous
iydro-electric power development, con
sisting of probably five projects, de
veloping a total of approximately 250,-
000 horsepower, and a sper-power sys
tem tying together in one organiza
tion virtually all of the developed and
potential waterpower sites in five
counties, which will result In furnish
ing power tt> several large cities and
many smaller ones and probably dot
ting the entire section with factories
andrj industries, is to be instituted in
western North Carolna. in the district
in which Asheville and Waynesvlllo
are located, according to information
gathered over a period of several
weeks. The development involves in
vestments of millions of dollars.
A big New York corporation which
specializes in electric developments
and is said to be the largest of its
kind in the country is promoting the
vast project, and, it Is understood, has
secured or is securing power rights
and franchises in Haywood, Jackson
and Sawin counties to be connected
with the holdings of the company in
Buncombe and Madison counties. The
New York corporation Is said to own
several power companies in the west
ern part of the state and to own, con
trol or have under option power rights
on a number ot streams in western
North Carolina.
The development has been under
way, quietly, foi several years, a com
pany organized In 1916 having been
Interested in the project first. The
world war, or rather the entrance of
the United States Into the conflict in
1917, temporarily halted Ae develop
ment, and lack of sufficient capital,
for which millions of dollars Is re
quired, prevented its promotion until
the New York corporation, owning al
ready vast power holdings In the sec
tion, became interested.

WILBUR UNO STONE SPEAK
ADDRESSES LAW ENFORCEMENT
COMMITTEE FROM PORTICO
OF WHITE HOUSE.
Coolidge Wishes More Emphasis Was
Placed on Law "Observance" Than
"Enforcement."
Washington President Coolidge,
addressing the members of' the wom
en's national committee for law en
forcerpenf from the south portico of
the 1 White House success
ful law enforcement depended primar
ily upon measure of public sentiment
for observance of the law.
"I some times wish," the President
said, "that people would put a little
more emphasis upon the observance
of the law than they do upon Its en
forcement. It is a maxim of our insti
tutions that the government does not
make the people, I)Ut the people, make
the government. That is why a gath
ering of this kind is so encouraging to
me."
The President, who received the
committee after they had heard ad
dresses on the subject by the two
new members of his cabinet, Attorney
General Stone and Secretary Wilbur,
and other speakers, emphasized that
the only practical course for stimu
lating respect for law was a cease
less "awakening of the conscience
through movements such as come from
our activities and through a denomi
nation that shall be a new order of
things."
Attorney General Stone declared tl|£
vital principles of respect for afld en
forcement of law must be held to ap
ply equally to the "enemies of society'*
and to all the "enforcement agencies
t>f the Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes called the commit
tee members to a "second crusade in
behalf of prohibition" and Secretary
Hughes in a message read to the gath
ering, declared the "test of devotion
to our Institutions is respect for law
Itself."
Secretary fvilbur held up as a great
er enemy of society than the robber
or murderer the man who "violates
the. law because he does not like it
or because he feels that he can avoid
penalties."
"Some people think the Volstead
act and the 18th amendment a Joke,
but they are laughing at the stars
and stripes," he said. • "Law enforce
ment In Its last analysis Is a, matter
of patriotism."
In a letter read to Jhe gathering.
Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., asked
ghether "we have not come to the
tCme when we Just honestly enforce
our prohibition law or honestly try
to change it?"

6IVE GERMANY FREE HAND
FILE REPORT ON GERMAN RELIEF
SCHEME WITH REPARATION
COMMISSION.
Representative of U. S. Slated For an
Important Role in Execution of
Experts' Plan.
Paris. —The report of the experts
who have been engaged lor the past
three months in the task of ascertain
ing Germany's capacity to pay repara
tions was handed to the Reparation
Commission. The two commltte«s
were under the chairmanship of Brig
adier General Charles Dawes and Reg
inal McKenna, respectively.
The League of Nations is drawn
into the reparations problem by the
Dawes report, while an unofficial rep
resentative of the United States is
slated for an important role in the
execution of the experts' plan. An
American member of the general
board of control for the proposed new
gold bank of issue is quite likely to
fill the important post of "commis
sioner." His duty will be to decide
when Germany's capacity to pay has
been reached, while the League finance
committee will be asked ten arbitrate
if the commissioner's decisions in ap
plying the "index of prosperity" are
disputed by feither Germany or the
Allies.
Recognizing the obligation of Ger
many to pay, and declaring that -she
has resources with which to pay, the
experts insist that if Germany does
pay she mi)st have her hands free to
exploit her economic resources.
The experts carefully omit in their
r&fcort mention of the Ruhr, but make
it plain that the French and Belgians
must satisfy themselves by leaving
garrisons in the Ruhr, if they see fit,
but taking their hands off the Ruhr
and Rhineland Railroad and the Ruhr
industries.
The first prerequisite to the pay
ment of reparations, the experts as
sert, Is sound money in Germany.
They propose to this end the estab
lishment of a new gold bank of issue
with 400,000,000 gold marks capital,
in the organization of which they
make it to the interest and profit of
Germany, as-well as to the advantage
of the Allies, to co-operate.
In order to prevent these payments
from affecting adversely •Germany's
financial stability, an index of pros
perity has ben fixed, making it pos
sible to judge whether the amounts of
the scheduled payments are or are
not beyond Germany's capacity.
Punish Women as Severely as Men.
Nashville, Tenn. —Women \re en
titled to just as severe punishment as
men now that they have taken upon
themselves full rights of citizenship.
Federal Judge John Gore here told
Mrs. Valley French, who appeared in
court here on a charge of "monshin
ing."
"Three times as many women ap
pear in court now as did a year ago,"
the udge asserted, "because they de
pend on the court to be clement. But
that was in th® days before women
took on themselves all the privileges
of citizenship. Now they must bear
the same punishment as men."

JAPANESE NOTE OF
UNUSUAL GRAVITY
IMMIGRATION QUESTION AB
- STATUS OF INTERNA
TIONAL ISBUE.
Washington. Japanese exclusion
sections in the Immigration bill pend
ing before the house and proposed as
amendments to the similar bill before
the senate suddenly assumed the
stutus of an international Issue of first
importance.
In a communication unusual in grav
ity of expression the Japanese govern
ment, through Ambassador Hanhihara,
reiterated its formal protest against
the exclusion of that country from na
tions entitled to a definite quota and
warned of "the grave consequences''
.which enactment of the . measure
"would inevitably bring."
The Japanese note, conveyed In a
letter to Secretary Hughes and trans
mitted by him at once to Chairman
Colt, of the senate Immigration com
mittee, gave for ths first time con
crete form the term* M the gentle
men's agreement of i'HO7, asserted
formally that Japan had scrupulous
observed that covenant and declared
the very honor of the Japanese gov
ernment was being attacked by thoje
who contended to the contrary.
"To Japan the question is not one
of expediency, but of principle," Am
bassador Hanhara said. "The import
ant question is whether Japih as a
nation is or la not entitled to the
proper respect and consideration of
other nations.
"It is difficult to believe that it Is
the intention of the people of your
great country to resort to a mesure
which would not only seriously offend
the Just pride of a friendly nation
x x x x but would also seem to
involve the question of good faith and
therefore of the honor of their govern
ment."
In transmitting the letter to Sena
tor Colt, Secretary Hughes stated
merely that it was for his considera
tion in connection with presentation
of the senate immigration bill which
the Bhode Island senator has in
charge. _ The secretary added only
that the view of 'the agreement held
by the Japanese embassy "correspond*
with my own understanding of that
agreement." '
Cotton Group to Fight Report. f
senate cottcrn
group plans to make a fight on the
floor of the senate of the amendments

cotton group, said that they would
offer an amendment to the joint reso
lution introduced by Senator Robinson,
democrat, Arkansas, which would ar
der the director of the census to maks
an immediate census of the amount
and grades of cotton held in the ware
houses, mills and on the farm.
The amendment would provide that

ately from others showing the amount
grade and staple of foreign cotton
in this country linters and old
cotton on hand up to and including
July 25. This would confine the other
reports to production and consump
tion. The amendment further would
provide that the cotton ginning re
port be issued by the department of
agriculture instead of of
census of the department of commerce.

Traffic Fines for Streets
About $750,000" worth of street con
struction and repairs will be done in
Los Angeles, Cal., next year as a re
sult of violations of the motor vehicle
law by speeders and others. The law
effect provides that all truffle
fines collected must go into a special
fund to be used for street work and
nothing else.
MOTHER!
Child's Best Laxative is
"California Fig Syrup"
Hnrry Mother! A teaspoonful of
"California Fig Syrup" now will thor
oughly clean the little bowels and in a
few hours you have a well, playful
child again. Even If cross, feverish,
bilious, constipated or full of cold,
children love its pleasant taste.
Tell your druggist you want only the
genuine "California Fig Syrup" which
has directions for babies and children
of all ages printed on bottle. Mother,
you must say "California." Refuse any
Imitation.
Tree to Decorate
With proper attention and cure,
trees of small size will thrive in small
patches of soil where larger trees,
with their spreading root systems,
might languish, says the American
Tree association of Washington, D. C.
Tiie effect of these formally pruned
trees Is dignified and decorative, and
gives a fine touch of green to a street
lined with htfth-class shops or hand
some houses In solid rows.
Men more easily renounce their In
terests than their tastes.
