Webb, chairman of the state democratic executive committee, had not this afternoon received Governor Kltchin's letter with reference to calling the state committee together and has not made his answer public, but lie will call the meeting of the com mittee as requested. Governor Kitchin last night gave out a letter addressed to Hon. Chas. A. Webb, chairman of the state dem ocratic executive committee, re questing him to call the state com mittee together at once forthe pur pose of passing on the question, "democratic ticket." Governor Kitchin bases his action on the edi torial comment appearing In the Charlotte Observer commenting on the rules adapted by the committee at its meeting here July 9. Gov ernor Kltchin's letter follows: "In view of the fact that The Charlotte Observer has editorially declared that a voter who declined to vote for the democratic national ticket this fall is entitled to vote in the senatorial primary, thus encour aging the view that men who op pose the democratic party on na tional matters, may take part in naming a democratic senator and taking the startling positon that the democratic ticket does not include the national ticket, I urgently request you in the interest of sound democ racy, and for the good of the 'mo cratic party to call the state demo cratic executive committee together without delay, for the purpose of glv ing a plain and definite construction of the words 'democratic ticket,' as used in our convention's senatorial primary resolutions. "Trusting that the committee will give them their plain meaning, di recting that they include the national ticket as '"'ell as state, congressional and county tickets, and thus repudi ate so dangerous a construction as The Observer gives, I am, "Yours truly, ' "W W. KITCHIN." The Charlotte Observer today car ried the following editorial with reference to Governor Kltchin's charge: "Kitchin Stirred Up." "The Observer has no objection to make to Governor Kltchin's appeal to Chairman Webb to call the state democratic executive committee to meet without delay to define the democratic ticket as used in the sen atorial primary. The .Observer be lieves that ought to be done for the peace of mind of those who' have been disturbed over the Idea that the primary boxes are to be thrown open to the republicans. But The Observer does object to the manner in which Governor Kitchin warped its deliverance. It wrote no editorial on the subject. This paper received a letter from Mr. E. L. Harris, of ' (Continued on Page Five.) FOURTH ARREST IN IL New York, July 17. The fourth arrest in 'the Rosenthal case was made today. Louis Webber, Known to the underworld as "Bridgey" was arrested.

Frank P. Graham to Resume Study of Law at Chapel Hill ALEX L. FEiLDTO SALELI opiilar Young Teachers in High School to Leave Miss Oellig Re signs as History Teacher Suc cessors Are Splendid Teachers Mr. Graham K.vcrclseid Great In fluence Over His Student. M r. Frank P. Graham, of Char- lotte, who for the past two years has been teacher of English in the Raleigh High School, has given up teaching and will resume his study of law at' the University of North Carolina. He will be succeeded here by Mr. D, H. Teague, of Cameron. There has never been a teacher In the Raleigh public schools certainly within recent years, who has had a greater .influence' over the pupils. Possessed of high Ideals, able to ympathize .with the boys and girls in their work and play, Mr. Graham was the idol of the high school stu dents. It. was he who took a de light in coaching the baseball and football teams and helped the Ral eigh boys to become state cham pions. His influence . was always wholesome and he was able to get the most out of the vigorous young sters who naturally preferred phy sical exercise to mental exercise. In speaking of Mr. Graham today, Superintendent Harper declared that too much could not be said about the young man. He was referred to by Dr, J. Y. Joyner at the banquet of the Wake county alumni of the university, as one of the best all round men ever educated by that in stitution. And none of these things spoiled him and these sincere words - which will express the sentiments of his pupils, will not spoil Frank Graham. His Successor. Mr. Graham will be succeeded here by Mr. D. B. Teague, of Camer on, another graduate of the univer sity, and one of the most successful of the, state's younger teachers. Mr. league has been teaching at Rae- tord. h or three months last spring he taught in the Wake Forest High School. He took a prominent Dart in debating at the university and epresented the Institution in two intercollegiate debates. Mr. Feild (Joes Higher lip. Mr. A. h. Feild, teacher of science in the high school, will not be In Raleigh next year, he having accept ed the-position of instructor in sci ence in Salem Academy and College. Mr. i-eiid, who is also a graduate of the university and a son of Col. A. J. reiki, has been successful as a teach er and his promotion Is in recogni tion of his merits. He will be suc ceeded as science teacher In the high school by Mr, C. K. Burgess, assistant of Dr. A. H. Patterson. professor of physics in the univer sity. ... Another Change in Faculty. Miss Katharine Oellig, teacher of history, has resigned and will return to her home In Pennsylvania. She was. like Messrs. Graham and Feild. a splendid teacher and Superintend ent Harper regretted to lose her. Miss Oellig s successor will be Miss Frances Winston, of Franklinton, a graduate of the State Normal and Industrial College, and a teacher of marked success. No other changes have been made in tlie teaching force. COMMITTEE I0DAY Washington.'
