former Methodist preacher, labor paper
editor and imlitician. today wa« unable
to break into jail here to begin serving
a (SO day sentence im|M>sed in city court
si>t week on a charge of violating the
national prohibition law.
Jitnisoii, who on Thursday nnnounc
<*d that he had withdrawn an api**al to
Superior »*ourt and tislay would start
serving the sentence, went to the court
houee at noon to surrender to the
sheriff, to be sent to the gnug.
In the mean rime friends, headed by
T. I, Kirkpatrick and former Governor
(’atneron Morrison, has gotten busy and
prevented him from giving himself up at
that time. Sheriff Cochran had no com
mitment pai>ers anyway, and couldn't
take him in hk a prisoner.
During the afternoon several i-on
ferenees were held with city officials re
sulting in a decision to reopen the case
next Tuesday morning in city court at
which rime it is believed here that City-
Judge Wade H. Williams will change
the (!0 day sentence to n fine and that
the former Methodist minister will be
allowed to go#free ui»on payment of u
eaah penalty.
Jimamn left the city late in the after
noon for Spencer to spend the week-end
with his wife and son.
Former Governor Morrison. it was
said here tonigbtl, was the leader in the
move to keep Jimison off the roads and
secure a rehearing in the case next
Tuesday. lengthy conferences were
held during: the day in his office, these
resulting on the decision to
Jimisontrip to the roads.
Tonight it was the belief here mat
the sentence would be changed to a
fine and that he would not have an np
portunity of improving the highway
conditions in Mecklenburg county.
Friends of Jimison wtd that at u«*on
today he was at the courthouse in rernl
inesw to give hitnfadf up to the sheriff
and start his term on the road*.
Morrison has just returned from New
York apd knew few of * the detail#.
When he learned that .Jimison was due
on the roads this afternoon, under hi#
announced plan of giving himself up, he t
’mmediately busied himself in a success
ful effort to halt Jhe move. All parties
to the latest development in the case
were silent concerning the case tonight
and are awaiting the next act which
will take place in city court on Tuesday,
morning. In the meantime Jimison is at
Spencer under S2OO bond provided by-
Frank Flowers, local attorney, following
his conviction Friday of last week b?

of the mob.

say to what extent the men implicated
themselves in the breaking into of the

‘Frisco’’ Isn’t Correct.
“Please don’t use ‘Fricwo’ for San
Francisco,” writes a reader on the Pa
cific coast. You wouldn’t print ‘Los’
for Los Angeles. ’San Bardo’ for San
Bernardino, nor ’Pedro’ for San Pedro.”
The same reader inclosed a letter on the
subject written by a customs official in
the treasury department. “The lerm
‘Frico’ as a name for San Francisco,
employed by nonresidents, is objected to
by a majority of the citizens of San
Francisco and is never used by them.”
says the letter. “The term has been
condemned by the press and civic or
ganizations, and the campaign against
the employment thereof has progressed
to such an extent that the Sr. Louis
land San Francisco Railway, commonly
'known and widely advertised as the
‘Frisco’ line was obliged by popular
opinion to take that term off its adver
tising and office window display in that
city.”

I
Question Relates to Presi
dent’s Power to Remove
From Office His Own or
Predecessor’s Appointee.
SUIT FOR SALARY
LED TO QUESTION
Frank S. Myers, Removed as
Postmaster by President
Wilson, Is Suing Govern
ment for Back Salary. '
Washington. April 13.—The Presi
dent’s power to remove from office his
own or his predecessor's appointees was
at issue in a case reached for argument
today in the Supreme Court, with the ex
executive and legislative branches of the
government represented as contestants-'
The case became one for construction by
the highest court of the President's pow
er under the constitution to remove exec
utice appointees to,'office created by Con
gress when the senate intervened in the j
appeal of the late Frank S. Myers, who'
was removed as postmaster at Portland.
Oregon, in 1920 by President Wilson.
Myers sued for back pay on the ground
that his removal was illegal because the
senate was not advised of it until a suc
cessor was appointed.
Prior to presenting appointments today,
briefs forming the basis of the opposing
contention were filed by Solicitor General
Beck for the President, and Senator Pep
Iter for the Senate.

SAYS DUKE UNIVERSITY
WILL BE UNSURPASSED
Nothing on American Continent Will
Surpass it. Declares Flowers.
Laurinburg. April 11—Scotland coun
ty alumni of Trinity College and Duke
University got some thrills last night
when Prof. R. 1,. Flowers, for 34 years
a member of the faculty at Trinity and
secretary of the corporation, in a stir
ring address at a banquet at the Meth
odist church, told Something of the
glory that he said would be when the
new udiversity plant is built: “In
beauty and in completeness it will not
be surpassed by anything on the Ameri
lean continent." said the professor. “The
'architects are at work now aud within
(50 days we expect to have the work
started. I wish I could tell you more
about it but we are not prepared to
make definite announcements yet. T
want to assure you that when our
plans are carried out you will stand
amazed at the results- The buildings will
be of stone. We went to Plymouth,
Massachusetts, and secured from the
quarries- sjoiw. watilac to thmt waad
Hartness Memorial at Yale, the finest
university building in America. We
went to Princeton and secured stone
like that used in the university buildings
there, and then w'e went to a place not
50 miles from Durham and secured some
met* stone. We built sample falls on the
campus and last week the trustees and
the architects examined this work, and
voted in favor of the North Carolina
stone. I got the State Geologist and we
went to the quarry. I asked him was
there a sufficient quantity for our needs
and was it suitable for building pur
poses. He said there was enough there
to build a wall to Jerusalem and lien
build Duke University and that as a
building material it was unexcelled. I
think it a most wonderful thing that
the money should be given by a North
Carolinian, made by utilizing the great
resources of the State and that these
buildings shall be quarried from North
Carolina soil,

RULING ON NARCOTICS
BY SUPREME COURT
Court Decides About Doses “Dope” Ad
dicst May Give to Themselves.
Washington. April 13.—Physicians in
prescribing narcotics to addicts are not
required to restrict the quantity called
for by their prescription to small doses
for strictly curative purposes when the
narcotics are to be self-administered by
the addicts, the Supreme Court held to
day in a case from Spokane, Washing
ton, brought by Dr. Chales O. Linder.
In the lower court the government
won on its contention that when the nar
cotics are to be self administered the
physician can only prescribe that quanti
ty which will be curative of the habit,
and not place sufficient narcotics in the
hands* of the addict to enable him to be
come a seller of narcotics, or to admin
ister to himself doseg larger than neces
sary to effect a cure.
