Books. a CANVASSING BOARD MOVES TO CITY Indian Vote Will Probably Be Thrown Out Crowd Came. With Board. Br DONALD GILLIS The Jackson county board of can vassers met yesterday afternoon In the Buncombe county court house to judicially determine the results of the November 2 election, having been driven from '8ylva the afternoon by the fear that riot and bloodshed would result if the. members followed their Judgment and threw out the In dian, vote or rejected the returns of certain precincts, whose effect would be to wipe out the majorities rang ing from 20 to 100 appearing on thu face of the precinct returns in favor ri the republican candidates and award the county offices to the demo cratic candidates. But no sign ef the seething trouble which fills thoughtful men ot Jack son county with great, apprehension as the canvassers met around a table in the Inner room of Clerk Cathey's offices, fringed by interested candl dates, and few were aware that the attentive policeman standing unjb truslvely in the outer room was there on duty. The meeting was marked by courtesy, not merely fgrin.tl po liteness but at times seemingly friendly passages between the rival re publicans and democrats. Everything seemed, fair and, the tone of the proceedings Judicial, more so than In many court trials. Yet the outer aspect was no better than it had been the day before at Kyrva when after a motion had been put to eliminate the Indian vote (practi cally all republican) there was al most the stlllnes of death In a court room Jammed with hostile partisans whose pockets bulged with pistols. Nothing yesterday suggested the mob spirit of .November fourth, which drove democratic attorney J. W. Haynes, from Sylva, and warnol level eaded leaders of both parties to ad urn the board until there could be conference wtth Governor Ulckett. and which prevented another meeting until conservatives of both parties had appealed to. a silent crowd of specta tors to respect the board and even withdraw themselves from the court room advice which was heeded until the crucial precincts were reached and decisive .action impended when again the spirit of riot was so evident that, with the approval of the republican county chairman, Geo. W.. Sutton, the board adjourned. - Nothing yesterday Intimate 1 that the board had not ventured to an nounce then to the crowd that it was to meet here the nex; day Instead of in Sylva, merely ad looming noth ing of the circumstance which impel! ed this action on the part of men so notably resolute as Chairman J J. Mason and his asso-r.utes. and r publicans' who feel that they have a just grievance in that the returns made by precinct boards controlled by democrats are not accepted at face value. Challenges Decided. On the contrary, everyone treated everyone else with scrupulous polito- ness, and partisans who must be sur posed to be bitter against each other accepted without question the un sworn word . of the other as conclu sive evidence In a controvtertod ques tion. Challenges made to individual votes because of non-residence or non payment of poll tax were decided yes terday on the bare statement of some Individual present and with a simplic ity of procedure which would have amazed Buncombe election officials, these, votes if repected, were deduct ed from the total of candidates, ac cording as some Judge or registrar declared, how the challenged votes were cast. , No counsel attended, either demo crat or republican, and any such pre sented by. either party would have been rejected. The Idea seemed to be that this was a family affair which the family would settle. . The net result of yesterday's in vestigation ot challenged votes was to eliminate one democratic and two re publican votes In Dlllsboro precinct, and two republican votes In Barkers Creek precinct. 1 Following decisions In these cases the board adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning with three essential matters to be decided, the disposition to make of the 60 odd Indian votes, mostly women, of Qual latown precinct, on the ground that Judge Jas. El. Boyd had decided in the Hyatt case that the Indians, are arda of the government and not Hlrens of Sylva picinct, where there are 8 or 10 more votes tabulated than appear on the poll books showing names of those voting and the same In Barker's Creek precinct. , where there are about 6 more votes than names on the books. This latter fact was not discovered until the meeting yesterday when It was presented by Clerk Moss. v Indian Votes. "', j lit is-hardly dlvulriner a secret to say that the present Jurf-ment of the board M to reject the nllan votes. and they,, following leil advise, are almost as much convlnred that th only thing to do with the "stuffed" ballot boxes is to reject their votes enttrelv eliminate them one and all. And this means, If proposed . action Is taken in only one of these matters, that democrats and not republicans will win. And, what stir will follow In Jackson county on such news Is not pleasing of contemplation but members of the board aro ready to follow where" metr 1iidment leads. 11 Members Here The board met at 2:10 o'clock,- and when ealled to order bvOhalrman 3. 3.

(By JULE B. WARREN) RALEIGH. Nov. 18. The endorse ment of Ex-Senator Marion Butler for secretary of agriculturein President-. Elect Harding's cabinet by a large number of -prominent- democratic leaders and office holders has caused quite a stir of political Interest In Raleigh. Some of , those who have not yet signed the endorsement ' and say that they do not Intend to do so, declare that the position of those dem ocratic leaders and ofHce holders who have signed. It untenable in that they have subscribed to the things the Policy of Organization for Sharp Restriction of Immigration. WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. (By the Associated Press.) The executive council of the American Federation of Labor concluded Its work here tonight without making any formal announcement bb to what had been accomplished during its two weeks of discussions- Although members of the council Including President Gompers, of the federation, were disinclined to talk of proceedings in the executive ses sions, It Is known that certain pro grams were discussed which by com mon consent will practically become policies of the organlation. These in elude what was described as a healthy stand against radicalism within or ganlsed labor, and for sharp restric tion ot immigration. There was also an almost unani mous agreement among the labor heads, It Is understood, for closer co operation between labor and Indus trial engineers. In this, labor leaders believed they were accomplishing the dual purpose of eliminating waste and Inefficiency and creating an at mosphere which would foster greater production. The council was said to have made plain in its discussions its realization of world needs in this re spect" and members of the council held that labor's conduct should be such that no blame for low output could attach to the workers. Other Conferences. It was said that council members had planned a series of conferences with Industrial experts looking to gradual establishment ot a co-opera tion which ..many deem invaluable. Some such conferences have been held during the last year, including that with Herbert Hoover, former federal food administrator, who met here with the council early this week. Mr. Gompers was represented as be ing highly pleased with the results of tho. Hooves-apd other conferences and having .expressed a desire to con. tinue them.' - The pica was made in council session here on more than one occaalon, it was said, that labor leaders employ every effort to clear BANDIT KILLED AND IS SHOT IN PITCHED BATTLE Roanoke Police Stop Three Alleged Bandits Who Robbed Bank.

Chief of Police Rigney expressed the belief tonight that the trio is re sponsible for robberies recently In North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Tennessee. At the local morgue tonight 200 was found sewed In Rodger's coat and $260 In the lining of his underwear. Most of the loot, which Included small amounts of Jewelry as well as liberty bonds and currency was found In a barracks bag. Carter and Por ter, at the local jail, declined to talk, other than to give what they said were their names and addresses. Ac cording to the police their accents In dicate they are southerners. According to President Vaughn, of the Glasgow bank, the robbery became known shortly after 2 o'clock this morning, when an explosion occurred in the institution. Examination show ed that the vault had been entered and the contents rifled. An alarm immediately was sent to Buchanan, the next town north of . Glasgow.

Chairman Tom Warren, in the city today, said he did not think he would care t sign the petition for the ap pointment of Mr. Dutler. He had no criticism to make of those who have signed the petition. The list includes, according to reports reaching Ral eigh from Washington, the names of Chief justice Walter Clark, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court W. A. Hoke, J. Bryan Grimes, secretary of state; B. R. Lacy, state treasurer; W A. Graham, commissioner of agricul ture, B. W. Kilgore. head -of the ex tension service in the state. T. B.

Tom linson, president of the North Caro lina branch of the American Cotton association, W. K. Riddick, of the State college and others. Some of the democrats who have not endorsed the petition of Butler's friends for a place In the cabinet, de clare that the endorsement by such a long list of prominent democrats. practically says to the state that some of the things democrats have been saying about the former senator are exaggerated, to put it mildly. They declare they do not see ' how-a man can endorse Butler if he bellovos half what the democrats have said about him In many campaigns past. They do not believe there is the slightest chance for him to ? land a place In the cabinet, and think it the shrewd est kind of a political move to got the endorsements of prominent democrats. there are any number of repul.ll cans In North Carolina who could get practically tne unanimous endorse ment of the democratic nartv for place In the cabinet. Ju ltie Jeter C.

Democratic officials are snlit In twain over the coup of tho republi cans. The men, of course, who -n- aorsea tne petition reel that It was purely a compliment to tho -state to present the name of a North Caro lina man for a place in tl e cabinet. Others feel that the democrat should have refrained from endorsing Butler oecause ot the things which have made his name obnoxious to the party for many years past. There is no open fight over the situation, but those whose names did not-appear In the Washington correspondenco to tho state papers as endorsers of Butler, think those who did sign have made a mistake. - . They take tM position of some re publican leaders that there is not the slightest chance for the republi cans to land In the cabinet or In any other important honorary position "be cause of the poor showing made by me repuDiicans in tne state.

The statement of the federation 'president as regards radical foreign labor and the suppression of de structlonists also was accorded the council's entire approval. Legislation to be urged upon con gress was discussed by the council, but the nature of these plans' were hot disclosed. It was regarded as certain, however, that Gompers or his aids would appear many times be fore congressional committees during the coming session and since the fed eration claims an Increase of friendly members In each branch, leaders are confident of pushing through much of their program. Some leaders hinted that the fed eration expected to devote a great deal of time to fighting legislation which It opposes and may not, there fore, conduct a campaign to put through bills It desires Immediately.

The German government no longer considers itself bound by the clause of the Versailles treaty, .by which Germany surrenders her colonies to the allies, according to a note of protest which has been presented to the league of nations- The note declares that the allies have not fulfilled their under' takings regarding the clause of the treaty concerning the allotment of the German colenies and mandates. It adds, that having signed the pact of the league of nations, Germany understood she would be admitted to the league and consequently take part in the allot ment of mandates, but that now she no longer considers herself bound by that clause of the treaty.
