C'7- 1 . . * *
In xfifltrd to our publcatlon e row
days since that Recorder's clerks and
other county and municipal officers
were not complying with the law In
making'their returns on the first day
of the mpntb. we received the following
from Mr. W. H. Hooker, Recorder
at Aurora, this morning,
Aurora, N C . March 8. 1912.
Editor-Dill 7 Newa.
Dear .Sir:?I eee In jour paper today
wh^tw you aay the Recorders are
not living up to the law aa to their
reportk' Now I wish to say that I
have mfitte .a report to the Clerk of
the cOoM every month and have sent
my fine# to Mr. E. R. Mlxon every
month, which, you will see on the
treasvrfer's books, or at least 1 have
hie reeqlpt for them. Where oar
Clerk ^hs pat me on record I do not
kaow. Now in August I sent the
Coantr Treasurer "filO; in December
MO; I did not hold cottrt |
anu nwmq 'm bntlMM"; In February
126. If y?tt Cannot find this on
record I can produce the paid checks.
I hope you will look thta matter up
and If 1 am right, please correct It
tfcrougff>your paper.
I hate made my report also to Mr.
Vaugbs* since November lot.
Yours truly,
W. H. HOOKER.
In verifying the abov? and reconciling.
It with oar statement to which
Mr. tffoker refers, we find the following;.
The 110 sent in August, was
duly cdittited and our report shows It,
in DeaAuher the treasurer's books
does not show that Mr. Hooker remitted
#40, but In turhing to the
January account we find where he remitted
On the, 17th o? the month 140,
which la not shown, or was not given
to us by Mr. Vaughan when we asked
for thtfl report. In his office. That
brings us up to February, since ^
Hooker held no court in'-"January,
andAhe remittance received on the 1
'Itfffaf January la the one designated ,
as the December report.
| ' "February 125. It you cannot find
this en record I can produce the paid
checks." In the same mail that
brought Mr. Hooker's letter came a
check dated March 8tb, payable to E.
|R. Mlxon, county treasurer, for $25.
Mr. Mixon bad not even bad time this
morning to open that when we called
on him after receiving Mr. Hooker's i
letter, and when first questioned in]
regard to It could not verify it until j
he had opened his mail. Essentially
Mr. Hooker 1b correct, except that he
hasn't the paid check in this-latter |
case, as it hadn't been deposited, nor
had the banks been opened since its
receipt by Mr. Mlxon.
[ The publication qf the article, orjlglnally,
was not to stir up any controversy
nor to engender any ill feelling,
but to draw the attention of the
taxpayers that the commissioners and
board of educaion had been making
a valiant fight to get the sworn officers
of the law, those who were dispensing
Justice and expounding law,
to live up to it themselves, and that
they were handicapped for lack of
funds that belonged to the county by
reason of this neglect.
The records show that Mr. Hooker
haa more nearly complied with the
spirit of the law than any other official
required to make a report, as
referred to In the article, and we
commend him for it.

New York C(tr. N. Y., March 9.?
Durihg the last few years there
have been a number of complaints
that .tb? immigration of tela Is at this
port are somewhat too willing to accommodate
wealthy persons who
wish, for some reason or oher. the
deportation of some alien. The latest
case of that kind concerns a
young Rusian Jewess who is now being
held in the State Hospital for the
Insane on Ward's Island and whose
deportation the Immigration authorities
have ordered. The girl, handsome
and healthy and now about-!*
years of age. came to this col^
with her parents in December,
t that time she was in perxect
physical condition and showed not a
trace of insanity.
After her parents had settled in
Manhattan, the girl nad no difficulty
in finding1 remunerative work. She
began with $5 a week and by her
cleverness and industry gradually advanced
until her wages were increased
to $ IS a week. She dressed neatly
and in the course of time saved
up nearly $100 In a savings bank.
Her father, who went into the express
business, also prospered financially.
Some time in the fall of last
year the girl was Induced by one of
her employers to come to his house.
What happened there Is o'nly hinted
at and can only be nferred from the
known facts. A police officer was attracted
to the ho*2*e in question by
the cries of the girl. When he reached
the house the owuer told him the
girl was "crazy" ayd asked him to
lake her. away. . N^t being able to
get any statement from the girl, the
officer called for an ?si>ulan<e and
had the girl taken to Lebanon Hospital.
As she seemed either hysterical
or insane, she was sent to
Dellevue Hospital and theuc* to the
Ward's Island.
It is charged that* the man who is
responsible for the present condition '
of the girl brought his influence to.

the assertions of the police and of
Mayor Qaynor that there is hue very

During the past two weeks scores of
robberies and burglaries have been
reported by residents of the upper
West Side, but so far not a single arrest
has been made. Holdups In the
various parts of tho city are so frequent
that many wealthy men and
women send their jewelry to safe

wear imitation jewelry. The burglars
and hold-up men evidently feel
themselves perfectly safe as they cor tinue
to follow their trade in the
same localities day after day, night
