Henderlite and the Southern railway are locking horns over the building of and underpass on the new Statesville road that is being constructed out from Salisbury. The mayor says the city will be represented at the hearing before Judge Boyd in Greensboro on August 25. and he thinks the judge will not grant an injunction against the city but wil let the railroad and the city fight their battle without the inter ference of the federal courts. The ordinance calling for the com pletion of the underpass by the South ern by September I imposes a fine of SSO for each day and every day the 'un derpass is not finished and the mayor says steps will be taken in the state's corts to collect this fine- The railroad hopes to have the ordinance declared illegal and to get a restraining order against the city. The proposed underpass would be some 20ft feet away from the present grade crossing on she Statesvjlle road and the state highway commission is now building a road down to the site of the underpass.

Revenue Out kadi—All Talk Set at Rest. Brock Barkley iu Charlotte Observer. Raleigh, Aug. 18.—A monthly report! on receipts and disbursements of the state treasury will be furnished Governor Morrison and in turn submitted to the public as the result of a request made of Treasurer B. R. La(ftr and Auditor Baxter Durham by the governor today. The call for the monthly statement, to be made on the fifth of each month, ef fective in October, was made during a meeting of the council of state today. For mal call will be contained in a letter to be addressed the two state officials from Asheville. The statement, it is believed, will prevent the recurrence of controversy over the condition of the treasury and will enable the public to__ know at all times just how North Carolina stands. The statement will cover two-year per iods with disbursements and taxes collect ed that period. The call was agreeable to the treasurer and auditor, it was understood. The governor acted under constitutional authority. With the return of Governor Morrison to the capital for the day, talk of a spe cial session of the legislature went a-glimmering, for his excellency made it perfectly clear that he is satisfied with the revenue outlook for the next two year 'period. Predictions of an excess of disburse ments over revenue for that time gave rise to special session talk here. “A special session for what?” the governor wanted to know asked as to his intentions in this direction. It evidently was the first time he had heard of reports of the ‘“inevitableness" of an extraordinary gathering of the sol ons. The executive’s attitude was that while lie concedes the possible failure of reve nues to fully cover appropriations for the period, he is not. at all sure about it. and if such a condition should develop, it would not be serious nor. out of the or dinary. The governor would not be surprised to see actual receipts exceed estimates of the last legislature by 25 or 3ft per cent. Appropriations of the last session are reputed to have exceeded revenue esti mates by 25 per cent. GOVERNOR IS AGAIN HELD FRR SPEEDING Peeved by Arrest ami Says He Will Fight tlfe .Matter in the Courts, Hillsboro. Aug. Ift. —Governor Uainer on Morrison was arrested here today by Chief of Police Floyd on a charge of speeding, this being the governor’s second arrest for such an offense this summer. Governor Morrison was peeved by the arrest and declared that he would fight the case when-it. comps up for trial. Af ter venting his wrath at being caught by the law he gave bond aud left town. A red Buiek driven by J. AI. Simmons was implicated in the governor's latest arrest. Air. Simmons was leading the gov ernor and liis Cadillac as they approach ed this place and as they crossed the bridge iuto town the governor tried to pass the Buick. As they swung iuto Churtou street both stepped on the gas and it is charg ed were traveling at a rapid pace wheu hailed by the officer. Mr. Simmons was first arrested aud upon his protest that the man behind him was equally guilty that car v was stopped and found to be that of the governor. Arrest of the Coopers. Charlotte Observer. The arrest of the Cooper family in Wilmington on charges in connection, with the failure of the Commercial National Bank, in that city, which failui'e entail ed the closing of doors by several small er banks iu different parts of the State with which the Coopers were connected, was a circumstance that had been antici pated for several weeks. There had been an airing of the affairs in the local courts iu which a situation was brought out that indicated the lauding of the matter iu the Federal Court. The line of defense N is clearly outlined in the statement that two principal allegations are admitted. These are, that a bill of lading was surrendered a few days before the bank broke without the payment of a draft, and that a dummy note for $13,- sftft. -covering a real estate- transaction was placed in the bank. The defense, iu admitting these charges, raajkes claim that the bank held aud still holds a deed to the real estate. But there stands the general charge of conspiracy, misappli cation of funds, false entries ‘“and num erous apparent irregularities.”. State interest in the case will be acute because of the high standing in finan cial and commercial circles the indicted men enjjoyed among the people of North Carolina. Air. A\\ B. Cooper is the Lieu tenant Governor of the State; his broth er has held Responsible positions in banking affairs aud the family name had been one above reproach. The distress es growing out of their hank failure had wide ramification. Had the transactions been confined to the single bank at AA’il mington, whatever of feeling that might have been aroused would have been large ly confined to that center; but the in jured are scattered over the State, to creation of new spots of infection. The defense of the Coojiers will not become public property until the court which is to have their case iu hand meets in No vember. Woman and Daughter Killed By Light ning.

Mortgage Trust Deeds, 5 Cents Each at TUnes-Tribune Office. _ 1 INDUSTRIAL BOARD OPPOSED TO BONUS AS “UNFAIR BURDEN” Report Made Public by tile National In- Nv dust rial Conference Board. New York, Aug. 20.—Opposition to the proposed boirtis for World AVar vet erans, on the grounds that it is eco nomically unsound and would impose an; unfair burden on taxpayers, is expressed in a report just, made public by the Na tional Industrial Conference Board. The report the outcome of re searches conducted in anticipation of re- 1 introduction of the bonus bills in Con gress in December. ‘‘The principle of granting special compensation to special social groups for losses or satft-ifices incurred in a com- i mon emergency,” says the report, “is unwise and anti-social, and fraught with dangerous, possibilities.’’ The findings were reachld after con sideration of data obtained from the American Legion, the United States Treasury, aud other authoritative source*. “The proposal,” the report continues, “cannot be justified on grounds of equity and frainess to the veterans or to the general population, Avliile it would lay upon the country a financial burden which would adversely affect the inter ests of the nation as well as of the vet erans, and might tend to hamper* the na tion's necessary efforts in behalf of the incapacitated veterans at present and the needy and aged veterans of tlie fu ture.” The report estimates the probable cost of the bonus at $4,000,000. and adds that the proposal “wholly ignores’’ the $350,000,000 already received by some veterans in State bonuses. “Direct compsyison between service men and .civilians is false,” it asserts, “because the factors on which such a conn|)arisou must be made cannot be evaluated in economic terms. They were an inevitable consequence of war and were the result of the chance of selection for service. Thosje at home were equally subject to thij; chance by virtue of the selective draft.” Reviewing the argument that the bonus is an economic need, the investigators hold that on this grounds other classes whose earnings did not equal war-time living cost* would be equally justified in asking adjusted compensation.
