1U THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1921. EINSTEINTHEORY CAUSESTROUBLE Very Bases of the Solar System Undermined by His Latest Theory. 1$Y WILLIAM BIRD. Staff orrespomleat of The cy s. Special Wireless Dispatch to The News. Copyright, 1931. by .cwl Publishing Co- London, Dec. 10. The full and frightful consequences of the Einstein theory are just beginning to be appar ent. Too many people up to this time have gone quietly about their busi ness (if any) without regard to the professor and his advanced ideas, (not lo use the longer and uglier word "propaganda"), blissfully ignorant of the fact that, while they were thus occupied, the professor was patiently at work undermining the very bases of the solar system. For, to speak the whole horrible truth, British astronomers at the Greenwich Observatory have just dis covered that, thanks to the Einstein theory of relativity, the moon has speeded up in its orbit, and is now 800 yards (over half a mile, mind you) ahead of the point where it was 20 years ago, relatively speaking, of course. If this sort of thing goes on and it will go on, they declare, un less something is done about it it won't be many million years before tve shall have two or three full moons to Summer hotels, when that time I lied country putting a stop to this comes, will be obliged to overhear the . sort of tampering with things that moonings of moonstruck couples on i have always given satisfaction iust as the verandas at least twice as often as they now do. Criminals, "taking ad vantage of the dark of the moon," will have twice as many opportunities for their deeds. Graveyard ghosts will scarcely get any rest at all, and the demand for rabbit's feet will force the price far out of reach of the common man obliged to pass by a cemetery on his way home from his nocturnal toil. AH this, coupled with the fact that publishers of almanacs and calendars will have to scrap their whole . stock of tables and plates, means a direct loss to the community that is certain i thing, the sun will join the race and 4- 1- n .

The biggest sensation in the country's moat to be reflected in higher taxes, uncra ploynient and general misery. And why? Simply because a man with a fine sounding title and an unmistak ably German name has been allowed to spread his subversive doctrine amid the general indifference of the great patriotic and conservative masses.

IJenri De.?ire I.andru, convicted "liluefccard of Oam bais." is dangerously ill in his cell. The prisoner was formd guilty of mur der in the first degree and sentenced to death last week after a sensational trial, which lasted for more than three weeks. He was charged with the mur der of ten women, to whom he is ss'.id to have promised marriage, and the. son of one of the women. Get land and Ulster. Premier Lloyd-George at Chequers Court, was mapping out his speech be fore the British Parliament Wednesday: Michael Collins seemed to have won a sufficient Irish majority to favor , the treaty and Sir James Craig was on his way back to Belfast silently surveying the reports that Ulster now contem splate entering the new Irish Free State. Whether Ulster accepts or not, there will be no organized resistence against the treaty there, it was indicated. Craig met Lloyd-George and told him of Uls ter's fears that South Ireland might exercise an unjust domination over Uls ter's affairs in a new all-Irish Parlia ment. Craig, it is understood, suggested Uls ter be granted some of the benefits of ine treaty without entering the Free State. This is said to have been re fused, leaving Ulster the course of en tering and obtaining the benefits or re maining out and continuing under the present home rule act. It is believed Ulster would rather take a chance in the new parliament. Whatever decision is arrived at will be announced at a meeting of the Un ionist party in Belfast Monday. The backing the treaty has secured in Ireland was indicated in the call of Cardinal Logue, primate of the Catholic church, to all Irish bishops to- meet Tuesday and urge acceptance of the agreement. This step alone, it is be lieved, would influence the larger por tion of the Irish people to demand ac ceptance of the treaty if they did not already favor it. The wave of sentiment for the pact has carried Michael Collins, the leader of the Sinn Fein army, to the place of leader of what seems to be a new Irish political party. The Republicans were definitely split by the action of Eamon de Valera in refusing to sanction the treaty. But the majority seems to have rallied to the support of Collins. A AfAurther indication that Britain will "father" the new state in a way desirable to Sinn Fein was contained in the announcement from the Irish office that no efforts would be spared to arrest and punish those responsible for the bombing1 of a train of released Sinn Fein prisoners at Thurles. torneys for Mrs. Fifi Potter Stiiimin charged "wholesale bribery of witness es" and "subornation of perjury" by agents of the multi-millionaire banker, James A.

It was charged, in a hearing before Supreme Court Jus tice Morchauser, that it was upon false evidence, given by bribed witnesses, that Stillman based his charges of un faithfulness and questioned the iater nity of little baby Guy Stillman. The charges were made by John F. Brennan. chief of Mrs. Stillman's coun sel, at the hearing on Mrs. Stillman's application for approintment of a EMMA GOLDMAN IS COMING BACK Says She Will Fight for Citizenship ; Berkman Also Coming. Riga, Dec. 10. (By the Associated Press) Emma Goldman and Alexan der BefRhiah, whose pressnce in Riga ! became known yesterday, today told the Associated Press correspondent they were "not going to- America im mediately," but hoped to travel in Eu rope soon. They said they hoped ultimately to reach the United States and fight in the Supreme Court to establish their American citizenship. They were both deported to Russia from the United States in the Winter of 1919. "I am not returning to the United States as a prodigal daughter throwing herself upon its mercy," said Miss t-peciai commissioner to take testimony Goldman.

Five new associations organized and in full swing during the last 12 months is the record of the State commit N;e of the Y. M. C. A., according to J. Wilson Smith, State secretary. Air. bmith returned Satiirriav fv. m New Bern where the latest association i was organized. During the year an as- j sociation was organized at FayoteviiJo ' Cabarrus Mills, at Kannapolis, and two industrial associations at Greensboro It is the belief of Mr. Smith that there is not a single other State in the South -that can claim as large a numbr of new associations as can North Caroli na. The Staie commiftpp is it starting the "Y" movement in cities and towns where the three-fold m-o-gram of the "Y". sprit, mind and l.odv. is not in force. The committer, he said. its Dusy, aiding those communities, which invite the assistance of the State committee. ' , i All these associations, said the State' secretary, are without lebt. At New Bern, it was proposed to raise a yearly budget of $7,500 in a two-day nam-: paign, but .is a mitter of fact, accord ing to Mr. Smith, .$8,000. wao raised in less than half a day. Just this week $12,000 was raised in Fayotteville, where ground has already been broken for the proposed building. me two industrial as332iat!ons at' Greensboro threw open tha doors cf new buildings Saturday: These two build-; mgs nave been erected at a coot of $250,000 each, said Mr. Smith. The association at New Bern is a community "Y". Mr. Smith said that! the community "Y" is the popular form j of association work in the smaller cities j of eastern . Carolina. Three years ago me wm-K was started in Wasningr"a and the programs carried ou; oy the community secretary, 'said Mr. Smith, have been highly profitable. The "Y' he added, has a tremendous inf!uen:e in that city and it is the purpose of the committee to initiate the commun ity program in manv of the other citk s of that section of the State. names of those accused of to corrupt witnesses In the proceedings.
