SLAYER OF SHERIFF LOCKE M’KENZIE WILL NOT BE RETURNED FOR TRIAL AT PRESENT, DR. ANDERSON STATES Scott Winders, who killed Sheriff Lock McKenzie last July 16, will not be returned to Salisbury for trial for murder as originally announced; at least, not in the near furture. This information was contained in letters received Wednesday by B. D. McCubbins, clerk of the superior court, and Sheriff Cal L. Miller from Dr. A. H. Anderson, superintendent of the state hospital for the insane, to which institution Winders had been committed. Several days ago Dr. Anderson advised local authorities, that Winders was ready to be returned to Rowan county for the purpose of standing trial as he appeared to be mentally normal again. Local authorities, to gether with Solicitor Long, opposed this move, and the most recent action by Dr. Anderson resulted. Dr. Anderson stated that Scott Winders is now mentally cleared and able to plead to the bill of indictment as charged. Dr. Anderson’s letter, in part, fol lows: "We have many instances known personally to us where lucid inter vals in cases of this kind have ex isted for a period of 15 or 20 years, and it is my impression that it would be unfair to Mr. Winders to delay a definite disposition of his case and keep him here for a long period of time when he is abso lutely clear mentally, and I under stand that no time is allowed for his confinement in this institution were he eventually found guilty and given a sentence, say, for instance, in the state’s prison. "Yesterday the solicitor of your district called me up and asked that this matter be held in abeyance and I agreed to grant his request. So, for the time being you may ignore my letter with reference to your having him returned to Rowan county. "I acted in good faith with the idea that it would be an injustice to the patient to have him remain here for a long period of time with out giving him a chance to have his case brought up for final disposition and also it would clear your docket without jeopardizing Mr. Winders in the least.” CONTROL OF COAL BY GOVERNMENT URGED BY A. F. L. Federal legislation classifying coal 1 as a public utility and creating a Fed eral Coal Commission to regulate the industry on the basis of its inter-state ; characteristics is recommended by the : Executive Council of the American 1 Federation of Labor in its report to the annual convention of the Federa tion. i A bill embodying this principle pre pared by the United Mine Workers of > America is endorsed by the Council. "The whole scheme of the bill,” the Council says, "is to end ruthless, cut throat competition, the wasting of our natural resources, and the wanton de pletion of our special purpose coals, which, when exhausted by unneces sary and unwarranted use, for steam power production, will seriously crip pie our tuture by-product, steel, foun dry, dye and various other manufac turing enterprises. "The benefits to be derived by the miners after the bill’s passage will still be a matter of conference and bar gaining through the various provisions of the measure which nullify the yel low dog contract and remove the coal companies from their buttressed posi tions behind the protective provisions of Federal and state injunctions. Its enactment will enable the mine work ers to exercise their constitutional rights of free speech and assembly and their inherent right to affiliate with a trade union for the mutual better ment of all employed in bituminous coal mining. "The Executive Council has kept closely in touch with all the develop ments which have taken place in the bituminous coal industry, and has given profound consideration to its difficult problems and to the numer ous remedies which have been propos ed, looking to a solution. We are con vinced that the primary requirements necessary to the stabilization of tne bituminous coal industry are a thor ough and complete organization of the men employed in me industry, tne cs tablishment of contractual relations between employers and employes through the process of collective bar gaining, and the adoption of a just, equitable and fair wage scale which will in operation provide for a uni versal labor cost in coal production. "The Executive Council expresses its great disappointment over the fail ure of the President of the United States to call a conference of repre sentative miners and operators for the purpose of giving national considera tion to the economic, social and in dustrial problems which affect the bi tuminous coal industry.” Man Has Knife Blade In Jaw For 29 Years Sioux City, Iowa.—For 29 years Paul Clark had suffered off and on from an aching tooth. Unable to get relief, even after several extractions, he finally had an X-ray made of his jaw. The picture revealed a knife blade two inches imbedded in his jaw, re moval of which brought him relief. Then he recalled that a doctor had sewed up a cut in his jaw after a saloon fight in Plymouth, Ohio, in 1902. The doctor failed to probe the wound before sewing it up and the knife blade was left in Clark’s jaw. Subscribe to The Watchman. Lawyer Gives Bad Check To U. S. Supreme Court Harold J. Bandy, attorney of Granite City, 111., has given the United States Supreme Court a bad check. And further than that, he refuses to pay any attention to threats of the highest court in the land if the re turned check is not redeemed. Bandy is a member of the Supreme Court bar. He will probably be dis barred from further practice before the tribunal. Monkey Swallows $4,500 Diamond Ring Chicago, 111.—How much do you think a monkey is worth? Did you say $2J. If you did you were not talking about Joe Mondi, a per forming monkey. Somewhere On the inside of Joe there is in hiding a $4, 100 diamond ring which he swallowed the other night. X-ray specialists are seeking to determine the exact location of the ring which belongs to Edward S. King, an attorney. It was swallowed after Joe borrowed it from him while per forming in a cafe. Lost Way To Barn, Arrives In Chicago Chicago, 111.—Nicholas Ispas, 9, of Indiana Harbor, Ind., lost his way when his mother sent him to the barn for an armload of wood and 12 hours later he arrived in Chicago. That is Nick’s story and he sticks to it. The police are holding him for his parents. He left his home early in the morn ing on his scooter and made the 20 miles on a gallon of water, furnished through the courtesy of various oil filling stations along the route. PLEAS FOR SAFETY Charlotte—Pleas for an immediate and vigorous campaign to decrease motor vehicle accidents in the state were delivered at the second annual North Carolina Safety conference. Capt. Chas. D. Farmer of the state highway patrol advocated the estab lishment of schools in which men would be trained for police duty in towns and cities. FOOD, NOT DRINKT IS OUR PROBLEM, SAYS WILL ROGERS Los Angeles, Clalif.—There exists a "cock eyed” situation when there is an abundance of food and at the same time our people are starving to death, Will Rogers declared here in a radio speech appealing for contribu tions to the local jobless fund. What does prohibition amount to if your neighbor’s children are not eating, the humorist asked. "What does all this yapping about disar mament amount to compared to our own people who have not worked in two years?” "It’s food and not drink, that’s our problem now. We were afraid the poor people might drink. Now we fixed it where they can’t eat.” Referring to the unemployed, Rogers said: "Now a miracle can’t happen and all these people get a job overnight. It’s foing to take time, so they must be fed and cared for perhaps all win ter. "Now don’t wait for the govern ment to feed these people. I don’t know anything about America be ing fundamentally sound and all that after-dinner hooey, but I do know that America is fundamentally gen erous. "Mr. Hoover has done some splen did work for us lately. He rounded up the bankers and told ’em if they wanted to continue to get 8 and 10 per cent from the yokels they better start letting out some dough without the security of a right eye and three ribs. He told ’em to melt some frozen assets. A frozen asset is just a banker’s mistake. Anyhow, he sent ’em home renewing notes. "So now things are different. Everybody is holding their own. In fact, that’s just fhat’s the matter with the country. Everybody is holding their own—and won’t let go. "It ain’t really depression, either. We are just getting back to earth and it don’t look natural to us any more. We are back to two-bit meals and cotton underwear and off the $1.10 steaks and silk under-rompers. ! The trouble with us in America is just muscle-bound trom holding a steering wheel.” CARS WASHED AND GREASED A Good Job, of COURSE! COUGHENOUR BROTHERS Service Station 226 E.
