The sixty sixth session of Mitchell College had an auspicious opening yesterday morn ing. More than 150 students were present and it is expected that the enrollment will reach 250 or more during the year. Every room in the dormitory has been engaged and the school enjoys a very gratifying local patronage. Dr. Charles E. Raynal, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and Dr. J. M. Clark, a well known Pres byterian evangelist, assisted President J- M. Moore in the opening exercises. Dr. Raynal extended to the students a cordial welcome. No institution in the town is more important than the coiiege. me greatest thing m any city is not its manufacturing enter prises, but its institutions that train the mind and heart. Dr. Clark made a stirring appeal to the students, faculty and patrons for what he designated as "college morale." Much was said of the morale of the army during the war. The successful outcome of the war was due to the morale of the American armjP. A. greater college morale is dependent upon the proper attifude of the stu dents toward college duties, toward the student " ly, toward the teachers and toward community. The prop er attitude the community toward me conege o.s essential. As a mem ber of the board of trustees. Dr. Clark stated that if plans were materialized. there would be a greater Mitchell College before very long, and closed with an appeal to teachers, pupils and patrons to unite in the purpose to make the college a bigger and better institution. President J. M. Moore emphasized the important part a town plays in making a college. He welcomed the young ladies to their college home and stated that everything possible would be done to make it an ideal home for the girls. He urged the students to be loyal to. their horns. No boy was ever known to amount to anything who was not loyal to his parents and to his home. Mr. E. B. Watts, a member of the board of trustees, stated that during the past year the board had spent most of their time planning, but that they expected to do more this year. Among the improvements planned are a home for the president, additions to the dormitory, a fence around the property, a tennis court and a corquet ground. Dr. M. R. Adams, the college phy sician, extended a warm- welcome to the girls upon their return to resume their work for the year. "We regard the college as the greatest asset of the town and we predict for the in stitution a brilliant future." said the doctor. Spanish has. been introduced at Mitchell College this year. Miss Janie Love, instructor, spent several years in a mission field in Mexico and can speak Spanish fluently, as well as give thorough instruction. A teacher-training course, giving both theoretical and practical work, is offered the members of the junior and senior classes- this year. Several hundred volumes will be ad ded to the lbirary this year. From 1.200 to 1,500 books were added to the library last year and it is expected that the increase this year will be as much or more. Last year the school was recognized by the state board of examiners, per mitting graduates to teach in the public schools of the state without examination; this year a movement is on foot for securing recognition from the Southern Association of Col leges, admitting Mitchell graduates without examination. , The standard of. the college is be ing constantly raised, and the thor oughness of the work done is being duly - recognized.

LURED TO DEATH Will Consider Proposal In volved in Lloyd George's Invitation. Prospective Customer Sup posed to Have Killed Men and Taken the Car. MISSJUANITAHARWOOD WEDS L. A.

LUMBER MADE FROM SUGAR CANE STALK New Orleans, La., Sept. 10. Bagas?, the sugar cane stalk from which the juice has been extracted, is being made into building material by a man ufacturing company at Marrero, La., across the Mississippi river from New Orleans. It is said to be virtually a substitute for lumber and its promoters, claim it to be superior in some re spects. The product is being manufactured in boards 12 feet wide and 800 feet long, one board containing enough ma terial to build three bungalows. Strips are later cut into required dimensions. Discovery of a use for bagasse is said to have developed during the war in an investigation of insulating board. HOTEL DIRECTORS FAVOR EARLY WORK London, Sept. 10. Prim Minister Lloyd George's invitation to Eamonn de Valera and his colleagues to confer as to a base for a settlement of the Irish controversy must await action by tha Irish republican parliament. That boGy will meet in secret session next Wed nesday, at which time it is assumed, the Prime Minister's latest note to Dub lin will be submitted, and a decision will be reached as to acceptance or re jection of the invitation. It was understood when the republi can parliament adjourned at Dublin re cently that it had conferred plenary powers upon Mr. de Valera and his colleagues. The note from Mr. Lloyd George, however, is asserted to have brought a factor into the situation which made it necessary for the parlia ment to meet and widen the scope of the mandate it gave its leaders. Tha members of the parliament, it is pointed out, took the oath of allegiance to the "Irish republic and the govern ment of the Irish republic" and pledged themselves not to "yield voluntary sup. port to any protended government, au thority or poyer within Ireland hostile or inimical thereto." It would thus seem that they must be especially em powered to meet the Primy Minister on the basis laid down in his latest note. Announcement in Dublin yesterday that the Dail Eireann had been called to meet Wednesday, was variously con strued here, but there were not wanting those who believed Irish chieftains would find a way to attend conference. It was reported that, if necessary, the date of the, meeting, tentatively fixed for Sept. 20 by the Prime Minister. might be extended a week, so that the Dail Fireann and its leaders would not be inconvenienced by the short period intervening. Chicago, Sept. 10. Dynamiting on the Desplains River at Maywood, a Chicago suburb, was in progress today in an effort to recover hs body of Carl Ausmus. companion of Bernard J. Daugherty, automobile salesman whose handcuffed and mangled body was found in the river yesterday. Auhmus has disappeared and is believted to have suffered a fate similar to that of Daugherty. Detectives expressed the belief today that Daugherty and Ausmus had been lured to the basement of a house in Waywood, where they had been killed, the bodies manacled together with hand cuffs weighted with stone and tossed in the river. Detectives believe that the handcuffs broke, allowing Daugherty's oody to be carried to shallow water. Harvey W. Church, a 20-year-old rail road brakeman, was being brought back to Chicago today by a squad of detectives from Adams, Wis., where he was arrested yesterday. He made the trip in the automobile which Daugherty had been trying to sell him and was accompnied by his iriother. Daugherty, a former student of Har vard and a resident of St. Paul, came here a short time ago, from Philadel pria. as salesman for an automobile company. Church, according to company offl cials, bought a car which he said was for his father. Daugherty and Ausmus Church,! to-a Chicago bank, where a. check was to be certified and the car paid for. Later neighbors saw Church and two men driving up to the Church home in the automobile and enter. So far as the police ca nlearn, that was the last seen of Daugherty and Aus- mus. A visit to Church's home disclosed that Church and his mother had left early yesterday in the new car. A search of the Church home revealed bloodsoaked rags and papers in the basement, a bloodstained baseball bat and hatcher, clothing identified as bel on ing td Daugherty, as well as papers he carried. Church, when arrested, refused to talk beyond maintaining his innocence. HOME CLUBS WILL HEAR SEVERAL TALKS The County Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs will hold Has monthly meeting in the auditorium of Carnegie Library at 2 o'clock, at which time Rev. Dr. Luther Little,' pastor of the First Baptist church, will talk lo the federation relative to a proposed campaign for eradicating tuberculosis from the county and Miss Eloise Ran kin, assistant superintendent of rur;.l schools will talk on "How The Federa tion Can Help the Schools." At one o'clock, an hour before the federation meeting, the presidents of the clubs will have a meeting in the office of tho farm demonstration agent at the court 1 house. Efforts are understood" Saturday to be crystallizing among officers nl members of the board of directors of the new hotel company to bring all building plans mora definitely to a head within the immediate future. One important step is yet to be tak en, it is. understood, before the com pany will be ready to enter into build ing operations, but it is not anticipa ted that this will bring about any groat delay, once the directors determine fi nally to proceed. The new. interest which is beinj: aroused in the enterprise among the officers of the company results largely from the feeling among some of them that the near future wiH offer a strat egic time for the starting of the hotel construction. While building costs are not as low yet as some had believed would be the case toward the Fall of the year, they have come down to such a point that many of the directors are said to feel that the construction ought to be un dertaken at this time. It is pointed out by those who are in favor of moving immediately forward that the country is on the eve of a great building boom and that if the construction of the proposed hotel is delayed too long, it might be projected into a time when building costs are higher than they are now. Other directors are understood to fee', however, that in view of the fact that the board has waited this long for prices to decline, no mistake will be made to continue the policy of watch ful waiting to the end that the stock holders may be given every advantage of what they anticipate may happen in the building markets, PARTY OF CIVITANS BADLY SHAKEN UP THE A TERS Thrilling Outdoor Play At Broadway. It was Theodore Roosevelt who siid that artists, seeking to perpetuate American subjects with their brush, could find no more picturesque or virile type than the lumberjack. In "The Rider of the King Log' ih3 Associated Exhibitors feature showing at the Broadway theater the last time today, picturized from Holman Day's novel, under the author's personal su pervision, there is a living portrait of a woodsman who is a great giant of a man. His life in the great outdoors has endowed with the nobility of Na ture, and he towers above his enemies as the big trees rise above the under brush. Frank Sheridan, it is said, gives one of the greatest character portrayals ever filmed, as "The Rider of the King Log." The cast includes Richard Trav ers, Irene Boyle, Charles Slattery, Carleton Brickert, Arthur Donaldson, Albert Roccardi, and many others. The ! entire production was staged on th story's original locations in Maine. "Brownie's Little Aenus," another of those comedies featuring Brownie, "the wonder dog," also is on this program. BOY ESTABLISHES THE RECORD FOR FALLING A trip to Greensboro was suddenly interrupted when the coupe in which Dr. C. B- Squires. Frank H. Kennedy and F. C. Bradshaw, Charlotte Civitans, ) were passengers, vas struck by a heavy machine on the national highway near Concord. The men were en route to Greensboro to represent the local club at charter presentation exercises of the City Civitan club. Their coupe had been stopped to raise the . windows when the heavy machine jammed the car from the rear. It was knocked up an embank ment, glass in the windows broken and the occupants shaken up. Dr. Squire? was rendered senseless for a time. An hour or more was spent in Concord making Repairs after which the trip to Greensboro was resumed. Mechani cal troubles began near Kannapolis and the party was forced to move the machine to a garage. They re turned to Charlotte late last night. New York, Sept. 10. Martin Pear man, aged 6, of the Bronx, altogether has fallen ten stories and still is un scratched. Martin fell six stories yes terday from the top of an apartment houses, where he was flying a kite.

MOVIE INDUSTRY HAS ARRIVED AT TAHITA Papeete. Tahiti, Sept. 10. The movis industry has descended upon Tahiti, and this isle in the South Seas is all cluttered, up with actresses of the screen, directors and camera men. The native meanwhile, with growing wonder, is being further initiated into the splendors of civilization. He has seen fat women in pants moving majestically along the watsr front and has beheld the ultra fash ionable bathing clothes popular in American movies. . These lalt, however, have been a bit too much for the Papeete police, and they have decreed that in this corner of the South Sea Islands such things must not be BLUE LAWS PROPOSED. Salisbury, Sept. 10. This city is to be given a taste of Blue Sunday if petitions now being circulated have the desired effect on local officials. The petitions which are for distribu tion and signature among Sunday school and church organizations ask the city aldermen to put into effect ordinances that will close up drink stands, hot dog places and everything else, drug stores being excepted certain hours during the day for the sale of medicine only. CITY MERCHANTS TO HAVE SPECIAL DAYS Charlotte rnerch'ants have chosen Thursday. Ffday and Saturday of next week as special "Exposition" days anu on these dates, they will put on "x hibits of new Fall merchandise for the purpose of contributing' in some meas ure to the festive week. The stores will not put on a co operative sale, but each proprietor an l merchant has agreed to enter into the proposition of displaying on these three days new Fall goods and thus give the thousands of visitors who are expected an opportunity to do their Fall shopping here during the week under advantageous circumstances. It is contended that as Charlotte is the shopping center of the Carolina, some special effort should be made on the part of the merchants to give the visitors here next week an extraordi nary reason for taking advantage cf their trip to do their Fall" buying. 9&i if SFJW GRAVER'S ROADWA Y TODAY A drama of the Timber Barons versus a rugged son of the forest.

"THE WONDER DOG" THE BROADWAY A Charlotte Institution NO NEW PRESIDENT OF , CHAMBER IN SIGHT No slate has been selected, it is un-desstoc-, for ' the new year's Chamb-r of Commerce administrtaion. The un derstanding is that Col. T. L. Kirkpa trick, who has been president of the Chamber for the past year, will not expect re-election, not only because it is the custom of the directors to change presidents annually, but be cause also of the fact that Colonel Kirkpatrick feels that he will not have opportunity to devote so much of his time for another year to this work, having given so largely of his efforts within recent years to public matters in the State of one sort and another. The name of a probable successor to Colonel Kirkpatrick has not been heard mentioned and those intimate with the activities of the Chamber de clare that there has not been even so much as a "looking around."
