GERMANS FAIL IN EFFORTS
TO BUY UP OLD WARSHIPS
America Will- Not Sell Her Any of Our
Cast-off Ships.
Hamburg, Nov. 21. —America’s decis
ion not to sell any cast-off war ships to
foreign buyers on the ground that such
action would minimise war, has attracted
much attention in Europe, Several Ger
man firms made inquiries iu Washington
concerning battleships which were to be
scranped, as the vessels were desired
by them for the iron and steel-they con
tained.
About the time the policy of the United
States government was announced, it
was learned here tlffat several battleships
upon which construction bogafi during
the Czar's regime, but which never were
completed, bad been sold by the Soviet j
government to a British wrecking coh-'
corn to be used as scrap iron and melted i
down. ’Word to this effect c|m° from Pe-1
trograd to German companies I
who were interested in the deal, but
whom, it appears, were out-bid by the
British. ~ 4 I
Included in this Russian sale were 15
warships and 5.000 locomotives, some of
which had beeu the pride of the Rus
sian state railways in the days when the
trans-Siberian express was in its prime.
SPENCER HAS SECOND
DISASTROUS BLAZE
Two Dvrelling Houses Burned Near the
Passenger Station-—Water Service
Good.
Spencer. Nov. 20. —East Spencer was j
visited by a disastrous fire at the mid
night hour laSt night wen two homes
near the passenger station, located on
Shaver Street, were destroyed with the
following net results:
Robert Gobel, one-story frame dwell
ing. occupied by himself and family,
valued at 53,500, insurance sl*soo, to
tal lass, also household furniture valued
at SI,OOO, with no insprance, total loss.
'One-story frame dwelling oweud by T.
11. Stewart and occupied by Otto Gobbel,
oT'erk at the yard office, valued at $2,000.
insurance $1,200. The household ef
fects iii this home were isuved.
The blaze was discovered at 11 p. m.
by Yard Engineer Fred Iddings on his
return towards home from his work,
who awakened the families and gave the
alarm, which brought the East Spencer
fire department to the scene. The fire
men rendered valuable assistance in sav
ing other property and soon had the i
tire under control. Air. Gobbel. in whose j
home the fire started, is an engineer on (
the Southern derrick and had retired \
some two hoarse before the alarm was J
given. The blaze is said to have start
ed in the ton of- the house but the cause
lias not been determined.
This was the second fire to visit the
community in the past 48 hours, the
first having occurred Saturday night in
the Spencer Hardware Company causing j
a loss of $30,000.
I SOUTHERN POWER COMPANY
| HEARING AT RALEIGH TODAY
i
Twenty-Tliree Companies File Objection
to Proposed Rate.
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 21—With repre
sentatives of several companies using
the power of the Southern Power Com
pany expected to be in attendance, the
hearing on the application of the South
ern Power Company for an increase >n
its hydro-electric power rates will be
opened here tomorrow by the State Cor
poration Commission.
Twenty-three companies have filed for
mal objection to the proposed cate in
crease while the same number have giv
en written acquiesence in any decision
for an increase which the Commission
may make The company serves 308 man
ufacturing concerns.
The petition was filed by the Southern
Power Company, early in October after
James B. Duke, president of the con
cern, had indicated in a statement to
newspapers that ho would cease water
power development in North Carolina un
less the increase was allowed because >f
the fact that his company was not mak
ing a profit* sufficient to warrant a fur
ther investment. Air. Duke asserted
that $00,000,000 had been invested by
him in North Carolina water power de
velopment. He added, however, that
though he would cease investing in the
[event of an unfavorable decision, that lie
wouhl not discontinue operation of the
plants now in operation.
Mr. Duke’s statement was followed by
one issued by the State Corpoi’ation Com
mission to the effect tliat no application
for increased rates had beeu made and
that the millionaire's statement was the
first intimation they had that an in
crease was desired. Attorneys for the
Southern Power formally filed
a l>etition with the Commission two days
later.
The petition asks for an increase in
water' power rates of approximately ten
per cent., varying with the class of in
dustry supplied and the amount of ser
vice purchased. It recites In detail the
history of water power development by
Power Company and details
previous transactions with the Corpora
tion Commission on the Occasion of r.
petition for increased rates three years
ago.

Blocks of Harding Memorial Stamps
Sought For Framing.
Washington. Nov. 22. —Blocks of un
perforated Harding memorial stamps, in
any number up to 4tM), were placed on
sale recefitl at the Government Phila
telic Agency here.
Owing to the demand frotu collectors,
members of Congress 'and others who
desired the stamps for col
lection purposes. Postmaster 'General
New gave orders for the preparation of
the stamps without perforations. Many
of the requests were based on a desire to
obtain the stamps in that shape for the
purpose of framing in memory of the
late President.
At the recent meeting of tlfe British
Association, a demonstration was given
in connection with the wonderful talk
ing ray of the photophonc- The greatest
advantage of this apparatus is it*
secrecy; unify to whqm the j
ray is directed can receive tlie messages !
A ray of light is reflected from an elec
tric lamp, and the vibrations of the
human voice cause the light ray to trem
ble and oscillate s’.ighflly. These tremb
lings are picked up at the receiving end
of the photophono by selenium cells,
and translated back again, through a
telephone receiver, into intelligible
sounds.
Former President Harding's make-up
rule has been presented to C. F. Hard,
manager of the Front Porch campaign.
The little steel rule was in Warren
Harding’s pocket when lie was nominated
in Chicago, and it was with him when
he die(F at San Francisco.
Another attempt will be made to scale
Alt. Everest, the world's highest moun
tain. in 11)24, Brigadier General Hon.
C. Bruce has been chosen to lead tie
fresh attack..
