FALL GAINS POINT IN THE TEAPOT DOME LEASE Sl IT Evidence Intended to Show Secret of Fall’s Bank Account Barred by Pre siding Judge. Cheyenne, March 13.—Evidences in tended to reveal the secret of the bank accounts of Ablert B. Fall, former secre tary of the interior were barred from tbe record in the Teapot Dome base annul ment suit here today. The rule barring the evidence handed down by Federal Judge T. Blake Ken nedy, deprives the government of its only known means of attempting to prove an exchange of Liberty bonds between Fall and Harry F. Sinclair, whose Mammoth Oil Company was given the lease on the big Wyoming oil reserve. Judge Kennedy's ruling left the gov ernment's case up in the air so com pletely that a recess of ten minutes was allowed to permit Owen J. Roberts ami Atlee Pomerene, government counsel, to get their remaining witnesses into shape. In a lengthy prelude to bis decision Judge Kennedy quoted from rulings on similar proceedure made by the eighth, fourth and second circuit court of appeals laying street on precedent upheld in the eighth circuit under which jurisdiction Jktt CUawtliae court falls. - ~ v . Judge Kennedy referred to The 'matter as involving something of unusual im portance to the plaintiff's case, but that as the matter stands, it was manifestly incompetent and would be barred until such time as was shown to be compe tent. After the -recess Attorney , Roberts announced that he would reverse the pro cedure previous y followed in tne at tempt to show the alleged passage of bonds between Sinclair and Fall by trac ing the bonds Dom Sinclair to Fall, in stead of from the former Sec etary to the lead of the termer Oil cnpnn.v. The court ha I warned Roberts he was ap proaching the matter from to • back door. BIG CACHE OF LIQUOR FOUND IN GRAVEYARD Contains 4,726 Quarts. Valued at More Than $30,000 Based on Current Boot leg Prices. Charleston, March 15. —Stocked with choice liquors, with a total value of more than $30,000 —b used on current boot’eg I prices—a rum runner’s cgclie was dis covered win a graveyard near here today by state and federal prohibition officers. The cache contained 4,72(5 quarts of champagne and imported liquors packed in burlap bags and apparently ready for distribution. Although she officers remained hidden near the spot for a number of hours no one appeared to claim the .liquor. They expressed the belief that the graveyard was probably used as a “point of con tact’’ between operators i>f liquor ships and their land agents. Major Heath to Refum For the N’e,\t Assembly. Raleigh, March 14. —Major W. , C. Heath, State Senator from Union, in tends to come back to tbe legislative halls two years hence, despite hie formerly announced intentions to the contrary. The major believes the Legislature double-crossed him in his fight to in crease Confederate pensions. So that's why he intends to come back. He is de termined to carry through his campaign for bigger* pensions “I won’t be but GO years old, he said today. “I had made up my mind not tp come back, but I’m coming and I'm going to rip somebody up.” The major, who claims the prestige of being- a “Confederate veteran born in 1866 ” declared he won the fight for increased pensions three times, but in each instance somebody did something behind his back that made defeat out of his victories.

ONE DEFEATED BILL One Requiring Newspapers to Publish Amounts Received for Political Ad vertising. | Raleigh, March 10.—Among the mea-1 sures defeated on the floor of the gen- ( eral assembly was that introduced by Representative Neal, of McDowell coun ty, and championed by Represenntive Connor, of Wilson county, designed to require newspapers to print the names of persons inserting political advertisements. J together with the amounts paid. Under j the present election law. candidates for. office are required to file with the score- j tary of state their expense hecounts, which are limited by statute. The sec-' re tary of state, 'in turn, releases these j for publication in the various newspapers of the state. Under the terms of the Neal bill, can-; didates’ obligations for publicity would j be shared by the newspaper who would f be required to publish, within ten days j following any primary or election state-1 meats showing the amount of political i advertising carried and the names of all i persons paying for such advertising. During his fight for the repeal of the i primary law Representative Connor stat- I ed that lie advocated such a measure as j that introduced by Represenative Neal. He said it was known that candidates and their friends paid to newspapers: large amounts for political advertising i , and he thought the public ought to be j advised on this point, in detail. A few days later the Neal bill came up on its second reading,in the house and was defeated by a substantial major ity. Represenative Connor again de clared (hat he favored such a law and stated,that, while he did not claim that newspapers favored the statewide pri jmary for the money they received for po litical advertising—yet they favored the primary. There was a sharp debate, which re sulted in the defeat of the bill. Represenative Turlington. Representa tive Poole, of Hoke, himself a newspaper publisher, aqd othprs took a view oppo site to that held’by Represenative Con nor. Introducer Neal did not engage in the debate on the floor of'the house. He had previously introduced a bill which received a unanimously favorable report calling for the repeal of the state wide primary law. This was defeated on the floor of the house.

March 14.—The de termination of a traveling salesman has turned the rare trick of causing a wom an to change her mind after it had been absolutely and concretely set- A middle-age woman boarded a Pull man sleeper after dark. Although her reservation called specifically for an up per berth, she centered her desire on a “lower” and all of the prevailings of the porter and the conductor could not prevent her from clambering into the bed of her choice and going to sleep. The stated fact that a “party down the line is scheduled to occupy this berth.” did not deter her. The traveling salesman, who had re served the “lower” in question, boarded the train. He was confronted by the tale of woe of the porter and conductor. But he wasn’t pleased. Discarding his hat, coat, collar and — er shoes, he threw them in the berth and said in effect: “Lady, that’s my berth and I’m sure going to take it. You can do as you like about staying there.” Even the famed ladder was not neces sary to aid the woman to the “upper.” Ruling Affects Power of Congress. Washington, March 16. —Congress can not collect by access to the books and papers through a Federal investigating body all the information it deswes Ur consideration in the formulat'd! of a leg islative policy, the Supreme Court held today in affirming a decision of the lower court in thi;ee cases from Maryland ! brought by the government against Ham -1 mond Snyder & Company, the Baltimore ' Grain Company, the Baltimoreo etaoin 1 Grain Company, and the H.

London, March 15 (By the Associated Prps*),—The British government has not yet been informed by the Washington authorities nor by Sir James Howard, the British ambassador, of related sug gestions from the White House for a dis armament conference.

Kellogg assumed the office of secretary of state as a result of the conference which Mr. Kellogg had with Austin Chamberlain, the foreign secretary, before the retiring ambassa dor left London. Boxing Laws Still Stand. j Raleigh. March 16.—The general as sembly adjourned without having debat ed the repeal of laws permitting boxing matches in North Carolina. Although there was introduced a bill providing for (he repeal of all existing laws permit ting legalized boxing, it died in commit tee and was never brought to the floor of the genera! assembly. Prior to the convening of the genera assembly it was thought that there would be a fight made on this point. Several denominational gatherings had parsed resolutions asking for repeal legislation and a tight was expected. However, none developed. As a matter of fact, the facilities for . legalized boxing were broadened. There was appointed, for instance, a boxing commission for Kinston, and in framing the revenue bill provision was made for taxing boxing matches for the suppoit of the state. . Repeated inquiries failed to disclose tne fact that there were any workers 'n ana . around the legislative halls in b<*half of ! repealing boxing laws. ' Charlotte Teachers Declared Ortohdox. t Charlotte, March 13.—The more tam 12.000 school child'on of Charlotte are getting their teaching straight from 1 teachers who are not afflicted with the i germs of modernism, according to Super . iutendent Harding who said Friday that ? no teacher iu the system was regarded f as other than entirely orthodox iu scrip tural beliefs. 7’ , « SOLONS ACTUALLY DID ENACT SEVERAL BILLS Inside Glimpse of Sessions Reveals Fact That Entire Time Was Not Loss.— State on Budget Plan. Tom Bost iu Greensboro News. Raleigh, March 14.—One hears on all sides the statement: “I'm glad the general assembly is over.” Yes, and that’s not all. Evefy one is. particularly the legislators themselves and newspaper folks. But another phrase is on the tongue of everyone, nearly. It runs like this: “Have you ever seen a general assem bly whig* did less than this one? Why, they haven’t done tt darn- thing wterpt turn loose hot nir and enact fool laws and the only ones worth passing they i j killed. Some bunch of nuts.” That is just what many thoughtless persons are saying every day. That is what they began saying many days ago and that is what they could say without fear of contradiction Tuesday night, when the solons wound up their efforts and prepared to go home to keep from going entirely bughouse. But the general assembly did do a few things to send it down iu history as a memorable tprning point in the history of the state. For the first time in history the state is on a bud get system and each department and sub division will have to live within its bud get allowance. Apropriations had been limited up to tHis time but no such sys tem. as Governor McLean has now at his fingers' tips due to the enactment of sev eral administration measures, existed be fore. This is to be a business man’s ad ministration. And the public will have to admit that th egeneral assembly did pass those measures. The people will get a chance to show their mettle sometime soon. The gen eral assembly has passed a law (allowing a referendum as to the inauguration date of the future governors, moving the date up so that the chief executive can get ac quainted with his coming responsibili ties prior to the assembling of the solons in Raleigh. Will the people follow the good sense of the legislature of 15)25 aiuL pass it? These two measures are constructive and can be used by any friend of the gen eral assembly who doesn’t know how to answer the general criticisms of the av erage man. The legislature always has a few mis fits. a few freaks, a few members who know nothing and less when they have been in Raleigh 60 or more days. To show that there are men who will make I mistakes, men who play pranks on other legislators, a statute, now a law. follows: i “It shall be unlawful for any sheep dogs, male or female, men, corporations, companies, to run at large in Mitcuell county, between the hours of sunset and j suni’ise.” | S. J. Turner, of Bakersville, concocted the original bill and a house committee bum -rotslv put in a lew an»e:i in• > s .:i.d the blooming th : ng passed both branches. Here's, another gem : "It shall be unlawful to bathe on Sun day” in a certain county, of course. This mistake in language was noticed and the i bill did not pass. The law-maker was j from down east and didn't know how to frame a bill. He wanted to rtop Sl!, 'f an< J pond swimming on Sunday in his r *ount>. He failed to use the proper language, however. • Senor De La Torriente to Retire. ! Washington.

THE COTTON MARKET Opened Steady Today at* Advance of 5 Points to Decline of 10 Points. New York. March 33. —The cotton market opened steady today at an' ad vance of 3 points to a decline of 30 points. Old crop positions were rela tively steady in sympathy with firmer Liverpool cables and talk of firmer tech nical position after the decline of last week. Later declines were easier on report of showers at a few points in Texas and prospects for further showers in that quarter. The better weather news seemed to offset the effects of hfgher cables and Hay eased off from 25.83 to 25.60 in the early trading while October "declined from 25.55 to 25.37, making net losses of sto 15 points. There was a feeling in soine quarters, however, that nothing more satisfactory than scattering show ers was likely in the southwest and or ders were pretty well divided. Cotton futures opened steady.

February building contracts in North Carolina amounted to $6,280,400, accord ing to F. W. Dodge Corporation.

However, the combined to tal for the first two months of this year. $14,400,200, shows a 5 per cent increase over the corresponding period of 1024. Furthermore, demand for new construc tion appears, to continue strong, as con templated new work reported in February amounted to $20,200,700. The principal ithms in last month's rec ord of building contracts were: $2,153,- 000. or 34 per cent, of all construction, for public works and utilities; $1,827,000. or 20 per cent, for industrial buildings; and $1,173,600, or 10 per cent, for resi dents buildings.
