North Carolina Shows $8,000,000 Increase
In Permit Capitalization For Six Months
The awarding of contracts for
more than $50,000,000 of new in
dustrial plants, additions and mod
ernization work in the south dur
ing the last eight months was cited
by the Manufacturers Record of
Baltimore, as a specific develop
ment contributing to an optimistic
outlook.
"Another^WOHIJIlIJi'llIBcation
of the south’s progress out of the
depression,” said the publication,
"has been the increasing number
of new business charters issued.”
New companies chartered in
Louisiana, for example, were said
to have set a record, and North
Carolina was reported to have
shown an $8,000,000 increase in
business permit capitalization fo
the first six months of ,,the,ye?r...
“This section,’’ said the Indus
trial Journal, referring to the south
"has made more rapid recovery
I than other parts of the country
and it is in a better condition that
any other section.” Other specifh
developments to substantiate thi
position include:
Material advances in crop price
and improvement in wholesali
trade over the low point of 1932
and 1933, improved car loadings
increased electric power output, :
bore active market for real estate
and a large new influz of tourist:
to Florida, the Carolinas, anc
other southern states.

Incendiarist Is !
Suspected In Fire
Ship Head Gives Reasons 1
As Basis For Belief ]
Ship Was Fired
New York—At the investigation 1
into the probable cause of the con- ^
flagration which sent nearly two
hundred passengers of the ill-fated
Morro Castle to an untimely grave 1
three of the officers of the steamer 1
gave testimony before the Federal ‘
Investigating body that the fire *
which resulted in such a human *
holocaust was of incendiary origin. 1
They agreed that the fire started jj
in a closet in the library of lounge
and burned through a panel of the *
door before spreading throughout ‘
the ship. They agreed that a light- s
ed cigarette could not have been J
responsible in the first instance and ‘
are positive that the great ship ^
which now lies off the coast of As- |
bury Park, N. J. a mass of charred ‘
woodwork and steel and its hun- c
human victims ill VatlOUS ^
undertaking establishments, was 3
not struck by lighting. None of 1
these officers could account for 3
the rapidity with which the fire r
spread throughout the ship.
The chief officer of the ship said j
that he suspected the fire was of
incendiary origin, basing his belief c
upon the fact that an attempt had “
been made to fire the boat on its ^
previous voyage. -
When, speaking about the ear
lier fire. Warms said "someone set
it,” Inspector-General Dickerson
N. Hoover of the steamboat in
spection service asked "how do
fou know?”
"I found charred paper on the
;argo,’’ he said. I
The company’s formal report of 1
:hat fire produced at the hearing 1
igreed with the details of the chief ^
ifficer’s story. '
Warms said the first word of fire I
le had was at 2:45 a. m. when the 1
light deck watchman informed s
lim. c
"He reported he had seen smoke 1
md fire coming out of ventilators 1
>n the portside amidships.” e
"What did you do then?” Neil- ^
on asked. ^
"I sent the second officer to *
nvestigate. a
"Then the salon night watch- o
nan reported fire in the library.” v
"Did you leave the bridge,” Niel- o
on asked. r
"No, sir.”
"I sounded the general alarm a 1
:ew minutes before 3 o’clock.”
