DRY ENFORCEMENT OP NEW YORK IS PLANNED AMERICAN BOYS STARTLE FRENCH Rob Business Firm and Shoot Up Town ; Desert ers f rom Coblenz. . Troyes, France, Sept. 7. (By the As sociated Press.) Three men wearing khaki uniforms and alleged by the po lice to' have admitted being deserters from the United States army at Cob lenz, were arrested yesterday by French gendarmes at Laignes. They are charged with highway robbery and burglary. The men were cornered after an au tomobile chase of 25 miles. The po lice assert that the automobile used by the men, which was abandoned after the gasoline supply became exnausted, was stolen from the American contin gent at Coblenz. j The bandits' car first mads its ap pearance Monday evening at 5:30 o'clock in the village of Petit Saint George. Here the occupanta, with drawn revolvers entered the offices of a business firm, forced the cashier to hand over the contents of the safe and sped away toward Paris. Local gendarmes requisitioned an au tomobile in which to give chase, but the bandits' car proved the faster of the two and disappeared in the ap proaching dusk. The trail was caught up again this morning, when the Troyes' police gave chase. They fired at the bandits who replied with revolvers. The running fight continued . for 20 minutes ever a route running through the villages of Bar-Sur-Seine and Chatillon-Sur-Seine., the natives of which ran for cover from the bullets,. A few minutes later the gunmen abandoned their automo bile and took refuge in a small wood where they were surrounded and sur lendered. The men arrested said they were Carroll Day, aged 27; Alva Good, 24, and Abe Abell, 29. An alleged civilian accomplice named Drumont, a French man, also was taken into custody. Cider Used To Put Out Damaging Fire L'Orient, France, Sept. 7. (By the Associated Press)- Hogsheads and tanks of cider pumped by firemen on burning buildings Tuesday saved the village of Moustoir-Reinungol from destruction. The Are already had destroyed eight houses and was communicating to others when the water supply became exhausted and the firemen requisitioned the cider -and used it to check the conflagra- - tion. STATE COUNCIL (Continued From Paje One. New York, September 7. Ray A. Haines, Federal Prohibition Commis sioner, was here today for a conference with local enforcement officials, at which plans for re-organization of the New York bureau and a concerted drive against bootleggers were to be discussed. . Particular attention was to be given it was understood, to ways and means of breaking up liquor smuggling by water, which is declared to be greatest source of trouble to the torevjs operating in and about New York. A roundup of alleged smugglers, heralded with the arrival here recently of a "firing squadron" from Washing ton, headed by E. C. Yellowley, was in augurated last night with the arrest at an uptown hotel of a man who gave the name of John Walton. He' is alleged to have contracted to deliver to a Federal agent a large quantity of liquor from a vessel off Asbury Park. N. J- Further arrests were promised today. ! THREE NEGROSCHOOLS WILLBECONSOLIDATED The policy of consolidating rural schools of the county is to be extended to negro schools, according to Super intendent Matthews of the county schools. The policy has worked so weH in the case of white schools that several districts are on the waiting list pending ihe completion of plans for their consolidation. The first negro schools to be consol idated will be those of Ben Salem, and the two Blackjacks. Ben Salem is in Crab Orchard Township and the Black jack schools are nearby. The consolidation plans call for a five-teacher school and a new building to be completed not later than Novem ber 7. In order to rush the work of erecting the new building by November 7 patrons of the schools assembled Mon day morning to help fell trees, which will be rushed to the saw mill and sawed into lumber at once on ,a special contract with the county board of education. Rev. E. w. Carpenter, A. M., now principal of the Ben Salem school, will be principal of the new consolidated school. About three hundred pupils are enrolled In the three schools. It is likely a motor transportation will have to be used- to some extent. GREENSBORO WATER SUPPLY GETTING LOW , FAVOR RETROACTIVE REPEAL.. vvasnington, csept. i. mere is a growing sentiment in the Senate finance committee to make repeal of the excess profits tax retroactive to' last January 1, instead of effective next January 1 as provided for in the House revenue bill, Chairman Penrose said Tuesday vesting of the crops is going to bring better prices for securities. Letters from them indicate an upward trend in the market, and the general spirit of the dealers is optimistic. But that does not mean thatthe securities will get back their old place immediately for all sections of the country hive unissued bonds and once the market shows some signs of reviving there will be a rush for these markets. Mora bonds wiJl be offered than will be ab sorbed readily, and that is going to have a depressing effect on the sale cf bonds at good prices. . The State still has about eight mil lion dollars w.orth of its 5 per cent bonds for sale, but the treasurer is find ing it impossible to push the sale of these securities. Folks are simply no: buying 5 per cent bonds just now, for they find much more profitable ways to invest their surplus, ana securities that are just as nearly guilt edge. REGULAR TIME PARDON HEAR INGS Governor Cameron Morrison upon his return to Raleigh announced that he would set aside a part of the second wes& of every month for the purpose of hearing petitions for pardons, argu ments for and against and examination of pardon papers. Hel has been forced to make this change in the office rou tine because of the accumulation of other work which necessitates much of his time and attention at all times. Tho executive office believes that the par don work can be dispatched better if it comes up at a regular time every month, and has consequently set aside the second week for consideration of these pardons appeals. This does not mean that all of the week will be de voted to hearing pardon appeals, but such appeals as come up with the pa pers in proper shape will get executive consideration at that regular time. NO RECEIVER YET Despite numerous conferences on the appointment of a receiver for the Bank of Thomasville and the Bank of Denton, both of Davidson county, the corporation' commission has so .far been unable to straighten out the situation. Appointment of the receiver for these two banks has been complicated cn ac count of the divergent interests repre sented in the two banks Some of the stockholders of the Bank of Thomasville and other influential and business men of Thomasvill have' under consideration the or;anization of a new bank, which could act as re ceiver for the old one, but the organi zation of this bank will depend on whether or not the corporation com mission will give assurances that the affairs of the old bank will be turned over to this new one. So far the cor-, poration commission has not made up its mind that this is the way out of the trouble there. CROSBY RETURNS W. C. Crosby of the Community Ser vice has returned from Manteo where, he has been aiding in the work cf get ting things ready for making the pic ture showing tb.3 early h'tory of the State on Roanoke Island. He reiorts that work of rehearsing tho native of the, Island and that section of the State for this picture is making fine prog ress, but it will yet be serj-'etime before the photographer can & .rt his? machine turning. Mrs. Thomas, of the depart ment, left Tuesday for Roanoke Island to afd. in rehearsals. CONDITIONS QUIET IN COAL MINERS' CAMPS Harrisburg, Ills., Sept. 7. Latest re ports irom Rosiclare and Elizabeth town, Ills., today, indicated that con-' ditions were quiet in the Fluor Spar camps, where there had been trouble" between miners and miners guards, but the various reports of recent difficul ties were so contradictory that the real extent of violence could not be learned definitely. Stories told by persons friendly to the operators of the miners indicated that union sympathizers had staged mo?k flights under pursuit of armed mine guards so that pictures of the "ref ugees" could be taken, while union sympathizers brought details .of rough treatment at the hands of those op posed to unionizing of the workers. RELIEF SHIP ARRIVES. Riga, Sept. 7.-By the Associated Press.) The American steamship Phoenix has taken into Petrograd the first consignment of American food for the starving children of Russia, -says a dispatch to the Letvian Tele graph Agency from Moscow. The ves sel sailed from Hamburg." The American Relief Administration en Monday sent its first train direct to Samara from Moscow. POCAHONTAS WILL SAIL. Washington, Sept. 7.

Detail's of the arrangement made by represen tatives of the board, for the release of the, steamer were not made public . Greensboro, Sept. 7 Greensboro's water supply is not such that the city officials are able to express any de gree of confidence today. Marvin Boyles, who has supervision of that branch of the city business declared at noon that the reserve sup ply of 15,000,000 gallons is being used to some extent at this time and he fears that if rain does not come dur- : . . , i . : . , - . i - v. ..l - . . Ir.hnnce lor ihc qnnnlv Vtarn in hoenmn X k. 7 i V. X W A i A dangerously low. 1 He and the other city officials join in urging that the people of Greens boro curtail all unnecessary use of water. Sprinkling lawns uid other uses, not absolutely necessary, should be curtailed and only w.-ccr that is absolutely necessary u.scil, says the oTi cials. . Many people doubtless are of the opinion that the rain in the northwest last night aided the supply o water for this city, but Mr. Boyles states that it did not reach Reedy Fork, from which Greensboro gets its water. He further states that Reedy Fork, Greensboro's sole source of supply, is not furnishing the 3,000,000 gallons of water used daily in Greensboro and and if the water is not conserved that the total reserve will gj in a shor' time and that Greensboro will be flat.

"To methe writing into our constitution of the eighteenth amendment was unpar donable," said the Right Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, Episcopal bishop of Tennes see, on the eve of the fourth synod of the province of the Pacific of the Epis copal church, which opened today. "I take no part in politics; I am neither Republican nor Democrat in such questions, " declared Bishop Gail or, "but politicians of both parties have played politics with the good name and the conscience of this coun try. Whatever in the League of Na tions was repugnant, coujd have been "written out but to refuse to counte nance any measure for universal peace was nothing but a denial of every prin ciple for which this country went to war. "As to prohibition, that is a delicate question, but I have always asserted my belief and have never evaded a question. The saloons were going; the church was making headway against what evil there was in liquor. To my mind, it was nothing short of lysteria that put over a restriction which could not hope to suppress that evil." JAPAN TO INSIST ON POSITIVE LIMITATION In order to make room for our Fall lines of Draperies and Cretonnes which are arriving daily; we are offering our present stock of CRETONNES at reductions that range from 50 to 75 per cent. These are high grade , in all the popular colors and designs and it will be to your advantage to be on hand early Thursday and share in the remarkable savings offered. ERSKINE R. SMITH, Inc. CHARLOTTE, N. C. Tokio, Sept. 6. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Japan's naval experts wish tot insist upon a positive limitation principle at the Washington conference, says the press, and they plan to announce Japan's willingness to reduce the present "eight and eight" capital ships program to one of eight battleships and six battle cruis ers. This is described as the minimum limit of safety to the empire and would be advanced as the Japanese standard, provided the United States and Great Britain made similar re ductions. ' According to The ; Asahi, the Japa nese naval delegates will insist on the abandonment of all fortifications on ail Pacific islands nad at the same time will propose that the United States suspend her present naval program, spread gver the next three years. ALLEGED BLACKMAIL SCHEME UNCOVERED M Chicago, Sept. 7. Daniel F. Breen, 20, was under arrest today in connec tion with an alleged blackmail scheme to extort $6,000 from Charles E. W. Love by threatening that Love, for alleged connection with the Ku Klux Klan, would be slain unless the money was forthcoming, according to the po lice. , Breen, according to the police, tele phone Mrs. Love that her husband would be killed unless he paid $6,000.
