"Under this plan " Mr. Hoover said, "the distribution for railway use will be directed from Washing ion, but with the possible excep tion of a few State public utilities, the responsibility for all other dis tribution will rest upon organiza tions set up under State control.

Declaring that the statement by John In Lewis, -International presi dent of the United Mine Workers bf America that the attempt to "re-open the mines was a farce, ,1s most outrageous, Alfred M. Ogle, president of the National Coal As ociation in a statement here to nlsrht asserted that the miners' president's statement was "an in solent defiance of the government and law and order." This defiance Mr. Ogle said, "will only arouse the entire com munity to stamp out such leader ship of trade union, organizations, which can only lead to anarchy." OHIO TROOPERS ARE .

Each dav mkll brings to the commissioner's desk a new sample of "draw m in' literature thnt continues to nour into the state. He thinks his estimate that North Car olina people have paid out 125. 000,000 for worthless stocks a con servative one, it may. run several minions nigner. At any rate, enough has gone from the state, never to return, to build a cltv of happy homes.

The operators have been working effec tive stunts and every form of In. ducement nas been resorted to with success. The latest scheme called to the attention of Mr. Wade is one for using the ties of fraternalism. A Yanaerbilt graduate reported the receipt of a letter from a former class man, a fellow member of one of the larger college fraternities, telling of wonderful prospects for certain oil fields and recommend ing the purchase of stock. The promoters menbershlp in the fra ternity was a prestige builder and doubtless drew many unsuspecting fraternity men into stock buying. Investigation by . the Insurance department had revealed the project to be worthless, a stock selling scheme of the ordinary frisking kind.. This, Commissioner Wade thinks, is the commonest scheme to come under his observation. He straight way wrote the would be victim and enclosed withMt a ws rnin td' all persons receiving mall' of this character to slip H into the waste basket.' The state is being flooded at this time with literature and In spite of repeated warning many "suckers" are being found, fasci nated by the glowing tales of mil lions auicklv made. Hardly one in a thousand is a legitimate project, Commissioner I Wade warns, and for that reason the odds are too great to make gambling in this class of stock worth while., rfpwfuf Carrummtmn, T ittnUll CiHtn I SHELBY, July 26.

Mask 19 manager of the field service de oartment, the North Carolina Cotton Growers' Co-operative Association has practically completed the organisation of executive staff for its headquarters In Raleigh. Charged with derailing freight cars on the Southern Railroad and attempting to derail a train, Clar ence Logan, a negre-claiming to. be from Marlon, Is held in the County Jail. Officials sa Logan opened, a switch In front of the station at Biltmore yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock as a freight train was passing eh route to Spencer. - Two cars leaded with coal were derailed as a result of the -switch having been thrown open after the engine and several cars had passed over the tracks connecting with the main line. It is asserted that as sopn as the cars began to leave the track, the negro closed the switch, and this saved the balance of the cars from being also de railed. The derailment occurred about 1 o'clock and Logan was arrested by a traffic officer, at the street car shed near the Biltmore station' shortly after and was brought to the city and charges made after he had been identified. It was learned last night that Federal charges will not be made as the train waa not en route on an Interstate Journey, but the case will be left entirely In the hands of State officers. 1 Logan told a representative of The Citizen last night, that he Is employed by a contracting firm at Marion and was waiting at the Biltmore station for the train . to that city, which is scheduled to leave around 2 o'clock.

During the trial 0n the third day. nothing developed to indicate that the defense was making any other stand than that Campbell is of un sound mind. There was a sharp turn in the evidence yesterday when the last two witnesses, two physicians from Oteen. took the stand as the State's witnesses. Dr. Purinton, axsistant chief medical officer st Oteen, and Dr. Rothman, member of the medical staff, testified as -to the condition of Campbell when tie came to the hospital the second time. They swore the defendant was dis charged as cured and that he ap peared to them to be a man of sound .mind and was able to tell right from wrong. They also told of Campbell being later engaged as chief orderly. They were the only two witnesses who were cross-examined at the session Wednesday.

"The Wilson figures amounted. In round numbers to one billion dollars," said he, "while the Hard ing total Is nearly four billion. The actual difference is approxi mately 12.16.

"That same unchallenged free dom which permits you and your associates to decline to work Is no lees the heritage of the free Amer ican who chooses to accept em- , ployment under the terms pro posed.
