Concord Must and Shall Have That New Hotel The movement toward tlu* erection of Concord's new hotel has recently gather ed momentum and within the next few days the sale of stock will be renewed. Some time ago the hotel proposition was launched but owing to business conditions and to other drives which were going on in the city the matter was temporar ily dropped. It was deemed wise at that time to postpone the eanvass of possible stock purchasers. Now, however, with the promise of better business conditions, interest in the hotel is becoming more widespread. The hotel is assured. There can be no doubt that another year will see the city the proud possessor of one of the finest and best equipped hostelries iu the state or. for that matter, in the South. The only thing needed is the assistance of the townspeople in purchasing stock or at least in lending their moral support. About SBO,OOO has already been subscrib ed. This was done with very little effort on the part of the committee iu charge. Only $192,000 is necessary and it seems certain that this amount will be easily procured. Work will not start before January Ist of next year, which will give subscribers ample time to get themselves in hand. That Concord needs a new hotel cannot be denied. It ranks now among the worst in the State. Its rating is 73.5 and when it is considered that a rating of 70 clos es a hotel, it will be seen just how far down the scale it has fallen. The build ing itself is in a wretched condition. The wall paper is dilapidated and dirty, the carpets are torn and the furniture is an tiquated. Mr. Leonard, the present pro prietor. asserts tbat be is unable to raise the rating with the building in its con dition. He points out that the other ho tel he manages—the Carroll in Gaffney— has a rating of 96. These facts show in what a deplorable plight Concord is for a hotel. Hotels are no longer poor investments: , on the contrary, they are decidedly money ' TEXTILE UNION HEAD SPEAKS I • McMahon Addresses Carolina Council— Support Amendment.

Suther and family and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Landis and little daughter, of Durham, have re turned home after wjlending the week lend with the family of V. Y. Spther, on f North Church street. making propositions. A glance at our neighboring towns will show this. Take Statesville and Albemarle for example. Both these towns are smaller than Con cord. Y'ct both within recent years have financed the building of modern hotels. However. Albemarle is planning now to double its hotel capacity. Statesville put up a new five-story structure about three years ago and is now adding 60 rooms. Burlington is building a $400,- 000 hotel. Goldsboro. Kinston and Dur ham are all falling in line and adding new hotels. The O. Henry in Greensboro last year made $90,000. Concord is losing money uow by not having decent accommodations. Several days ago a tourist stopped here, took his baggage from his car and registered. lie was shown to his room and not many minutes later he was observed leaving the front door with his baggage. 'When ques tioned he stated that he preferred sleep ing in the field to a room such as the one to which she was shown. Another in stance is that of the. visit of the Whole sale Association last spring. Three hun dred of the most prominent men in this line were in session in Charlotte and wanted to come over to see the cotton mills. The logical thing in that case would have been to have had them over to spend the night. However, with the present accommodations this was impos sible. Those interested were forced to get automobiles, bring them over here, then take them to Kannapolis for a meal and finally drive them home. It is easy to see that with incidents such as the above happening every day. Concord is losing and losing heavily. In the past few years. Concord has been rapidly coming to the front. She has been improving her business and res idential sections. She has paved all the streets. The one thing needed to make Concord the best and most up-to-date city jo the state is the hotel. We must .have it. DISTRICT ATTORNEY CROWE CULLS MORE WITNESSESTOCOURT Handwriting Experts Called to Give Opinion About the Notes That Were Written to Parents of Franks Boy. “HANGING CASE” ATTORNEY SAYS Second Week of the Hearing Started With State as De termined as Ever to De mand Lives of Murderers. Chicago. July 28 (By the Associated Press). —Beginning the second week of flie hearing which will decide the fate of Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold. Jr., for the kidnapping and slaying of fourteen-year-old Robert Franks. State's Attorney ('rope today called handwriting expert* in a furtherance of what he has termed his “perfect hanging ease.” John Tyrell, of Milwaukee. Mass., a handwriting expert, with a record of ap pearances in that capacity at more than 200 important trials, identified the or iginal ransom letter which -demanded slo.oos from Jacob M. Franks, father of the slain boy, and another letter left in a parlor car for Mr. Franks as hav ing been written on an Underwood port able typewriter. A battered Underwood, fished from a Jackson Park lagoon, here, according to their confessions, Loeb and Leopold had tossed it previously, had been introduced in the evidence. State’s Attorney Crowe when court convened at 10 a. m.. recalled Sergeant James J. Gortland. saying he wished the witness to identify some of the cf last Friday, quoting Leopold ns wish ing to plead guilty before a friendly judge. The questioning had to do large ly with the exact date* on which Gort land made various memoranda. Judge t’averly forwned and shock his head as the tedious process continued. Attorneys Harrow and Crowe conferred briefly as to the purpose of the State; the former nodding and starting a cross examina tion. Larry Uuneo. Mr. Crowe's private sec retary, identified various statements writ ten -by Leopold at the Hotel LaSalle, the Thursday 'before Deeoraflon Day. 24 to 36 hours before.the first confes sion. The purpose was to form a basi* for testimony on comparisons of hand writing. it was explained. John Tyrell. a handwriting expert, then was called. Mr. Tyrell explained to Chief Justice Uaverly the differences in typewriter writing, and while he did so Leopold and Loeb strained forward to catch a sight of the typewriting speci mens which had guided him in hi* de terminations. and which had been passed to defense counsel. They exchanged a few smiling confidences over these. Mr. Tyrdl went into a detailed ex planation. but Attorney Harrow suggest ed that, the facts were not disputed, and Judge Uaverly said “The defense has no objection. *o all of these photographic comparisons may go in as one exhibit.” State's Attorney Crowe at the close of the morning session stated that lie had only one or two witnesses remaining to be heard. One of these is Johnnie Levinson, the youth who was one of the last to see Robert Franks alive, and who, accord ing to confessions of Leopold and Loeb, had once been considered as a likely sub ject for the plot which ended in the ab duction and killing of young Franks.
