July 22.— UP) —Ridiculing i a ‘“by your leave" attitude on the part !of newspapers, and the idea that | newspapers "must be humored and i petted." John A. Park, publisher of j The Raleigh Times, in his capacity ; ns chairman of the legislative commit ) tee of :'ie Xorth Carolina Press As sociation. today appealed to the news i paper men gathered here to work for legislation for the good of the state, I rather than class legislation. 1 "Hasn’t the time come for self-re- I publications to drop that ‘by your leave’ attitude and with spreaded shoulders and expanded chests say ‘whrff is it you wish’?” asked Air. Park. "Do we need more laws to aid and | protect newspapers? Indeed we do ’ not. We have too many laws now —of every .kind. "The kind of laws Chat we should have next, with respect to newspa pers. would protect newspapers from one another and protect society from the newspapers." ‘ ‘ Mr. Park declared that “there are p . too many newspaper's in America to r, day” and that “there are several ‘ I towns and cities in this state that ! have experienced the annoyances of • j too many mediocre publications that 1 should have been consolidated, Paeck ‘ cd or choked. “lhe tendency to consider news papers as public utilities continues to ' grow," he continued. “Why not so . classify this great industry of public service along with railroads, high ways, telephones, power companies and the like?" I Mr. Parks then outlined the prob able results of "regulation of news papers if they were placed under State supervision" thus: “First, Hiere would be a shifting j around and moving of plants from points of congestion to those very few places that need good newspapers. “Next, there would be established | standards of practice under rigid su pervision demanding satisfactory per- PULLMAN COMPANY TO OPEN SHOPS IN ATLANTA Will Employ From 500 to 1.000 Men at Opening of Plant.

July 21. —The State high way commission, petitioning the Su- ( preme Court for a rehearing of the Newton road case, tells that honor- 1 able body of errors “in matters of law” and in overlooking facts, points and authorities, in its opinion on the case. Wherefore it "most re spectfully but earnest’.y" requests the court to review and revefse or modi fy its decision. The petition, which went to the court Monday and to the newspapers today, has a notation asking that it be directed to Associate Justice Brog den, who wrote the opinion of which the petitioner complains. The document of five pages, with five contentions of error, is the work of Attorney General Brummitt and Assistant Attorneey General Charles Ross, the latter special counsel to the highway commission. Accom panying it, in accordance with the rules of the court, is a statement signed jointly by General Albert L. Cox,' of Raleigh, and General B. S. Royster, of Oxford, setting forth that in their opinion, as' disinterest ed attorneys, the court’s opinion con tained error. After setting forth the allegations of error, the highway commission “re spectfully contends,” emphasizing again a point stressed in the original briefs on the appeal, “that so long as your petitioner runs its highways from ‘county seat’ to ‘county seat’ and so locates them as to give the best, quickest and most efficient ser vice to the traveling public, it has met the requirements of the* laws, both in letter and spirit; but when : this court undertakes to regulate the | location of any highway connecting g forma nee or closing rtf the doors, t 1 "Then, suitable rates for advertis t ing and circulation would be pre ‘l scribed and stabilized, low enough to f i attract business and high enough for y 1 a legitimate profit. - | "The results naturally would be - the growth and extended service of the - deserving publications and the with r drawal of the incompetent ones. , "Talk about the supporting’ of a new’spaper wou’d be reversed into a - respectful request for the newspapers' • approval and support of a community 1 ! and its enterprises.” Mr. Park pointed out some of the things he thought the newspapers should ask of the legislature, rather I than mere c’ass legislation. 1 “M hy not ask our legislative bodies to safeguard humanity that the ever increasing number of pre ventable fatalities may be checked? hy not ask for protection from 1 the speed demon and the incofnpetent j driver.who profane our highways and | j bll our hospitals and morgues? “Why not forever discard the dingy one-room sehoolhouse in favor of the modern consolidated school? “Why not make it prohibitive to erect hospitals, sc’liools and even of- 1 fice buildings and hotels that are I combustible? “Wh y not direct the energies and brains of the great publishing indus- j try of thriving North Carolina into j channels of constructive endeavor and militant usefulness? "Yes, why not? "These T’topian conditions may be for future generations: they may be close at hand. The mendicant pub lication willr”remain mendicant un less perchance through change of at titude or circumstances it may join the growing group of aggressives. "Some day the great God of the Cniverse is going to look down on one ! of his dearly beloved publisher-ehil- J dren and say, ’Cease they slothful- 1 ness; rise up and produce a better newspaper or get thee back to the tall timbers'."

That the court erred in hold ing, in effect, that the defendant (highway commission) acted in viola tion of the spirit of the highway act in entering the town of Newton and connecting with an existing State highway near the northerly boundary of said town, but would be acting in the spirit of the act if it entered the town of Newton and connected with the existing State highway near the southerly limits of said town, j “3.

More than I 150 men and women representing the I daily, weekly, semi-weekly and other ! classifications of newspaper work were present for the 54th annual conven tion. Outstanding among the addresses today was that of J. W. Atkins, pub lisher of the Gastonia Gazette, and president of the association, and H. Galt Ilraxton, publisher of the Kins ton Free Press. Mr. Atkins reviewed the organization's affairs, and pre sented to the publishers a hopeful outlook for the future. Mr. Braxton discussed the newspaper’s fight for agency commissions before the feder al trade commission. His address was made in executive session, but it was learned that Mr. Braxton reviewed Pile fight over a period of several years, and told the publishers that a serious situation confronted publish ers. Unless the fight for certain right is won, he said, the entir struc ture of newspapers, offices built up through a number of years, would have to be revamped at heavy ex penses to publishers.

There is just one pos sible development, he said, which might force him to “laugh it off.” "I’m going back to Chicago," he said today as he received reporters in his suite, clad in an orchid bath ing ouit and lavender lounging robe, “and I’ll have satisfaction. “Unless the scoundrel who wrote that foul stuff is an old man, too feeble to take a man-sized licking, I’ll give him what he’s earned." “But what,” someone asked, “woul you do if the ‘scoundrel’ turn ed out to be a woman ” Mr. Valentino achieved a gesture of supreme gallantry. "Ah. that goes without saying,’ he responded. "I shou’d just have to laugh it off.” Arrest in Connection With Mellett Murder.

S. Carroll. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. North Carolina will probably take ac-"’ tion in the near future toward the closing of the sanitarium now being operated by Dr. R. S. Carroll, of Asheville, against whom charges of immorality have just been upheld in a hearing before the State board of medical examiners, with the result that his license to practice medicine in the state was revoked. Intima tion of such action was given out at the office of Attorney General Dennis G. Brummit, who represented the de partment of public welfare and the child welfare commission at the hear ing, although Mr. Brummit refused to make a definite statement with re gard to any plans he. might have in the case, stating that it was too early at this time to announce anything definite. Much commendation of the work done by Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson in this ease is being heard, as her de partment was instrumental in bring ing the case to a issue. All private sanitariums in the states, especially those for- the treatment of nervous diseases, are under the direct super vision of the board of charities and public welfare, and must be licensed by the board. They are subject to inspection to see that they conform with the laws of the state with re gard to their regulation. And Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, as commissioner of public welfare, is responsible for enforcement of the laws relating to these institutions. Consequently, it was-in the line of her duty to press (he investigation of conditions at Highland Hospital—Dr. Carroll’s sanitarium —when conditions were re ported to her. Much of the actual investigating was done by Dr. H. W. ( Crane, of Chapel Hill, connected with the State board of charities and pub lic welfare. That the work of Dr. Crane and Mrs. Johnson was well done is attested by the outcome of the hearing before the medical board of examiners. The board announced • after the hearing that the charges, which had to do with alleged treatment suggest ed for certain women patients, was of such an obscene nature that they j could not be made public. Dr. Carrolll has appealed to the Superior Court of Buncombe county. Fred B. McCall Named to Universi ty Faculty. Chapel Hill, July 21.—The ap-| pointment of Fred R.

PRISONERS KILL GUARD AND MAKE GETAWAB Six Long Term Criminals Escaped From Ferguson Prison Farm. Houston, Texas. ,7uly 22.—< A *)—A guard named Raider at the Ferguson ' state prison farm near here, was klll- ed there early today and six long term convicts escaped, word to the I Houston police said. The ponce were I asked to watch for two automobiles in I which the six prisoners were reported ! ito have fled. j Information to the police said two j j cars drove up to the prison farm j | shortly after midnight and the driv | ers fired -‘mmediately at the guard ( | Raider, killing him instantly. Six j ! convicts fled to the cars and were! ! driven away. The men who escaped were reported to have been Go. Dix on, Charles Pryer, Richard Naylor, C. R. Holland, Robert Bernard and Alvin Ireland. Pryer was serving a 30-year sentence for murder and had escaped twice previously. Execution of the plot was daring and reckless. The moment the men in the automobile sighted the guard they opened fire on him. Raider, riddled with bullets, fell dead. In stanatly they were upon him and seized the keys to the barracks. With drawn pistols they opened the doors and called the names of six long term men who stepped out from the ranks of their fellows and took their places behind their liberators. The other convicts apparently dazed by the swiftness of the affair, made no move. With no apparent haste the three men satisfied themselves the men they had come for were account ed for, locked the door on the re mainder of the convicts, who a mo ment later heard the automobiles rush away in the darkness. The story, as it was telephoned to Houston, failed to indicate how the alarm was given. Presumably, how ever, the shots had aroused other j guards, who came too late to prevent the escape.

[ (By International News Service) Little Rock. Ark., July 22.—Detec tives here are weaving together threads of evidence on which they hope to convict persons responsible , f° r flooding the market of the state I with counterfeit state tobacco tax j I stamps. A woman who operates a printing .shop and her son are under arrest i here ns a result of a police check-up j on the “bogus" stamps while a law jyer at Pine Bluff, Ark., and a sales man at Hot Springs are held as “agents" for the counterfeit stamps. Detectives who have been working on a “grapevine" report that eount j erfeit stamps are being manufactured jin Little Rock in wholesale lots got their first tangible-clue when a local merchant purchased SIOO worth of | these stamps and turned them over j to officers. Trace of the spurious tax stamps 1 led to a local printing shop when an 18-year-old youth is said by officers to ’nave given evidence against his mother, who in turn was arrested. The youth and his mother are held in default of $5,000 bond each on grand larceny charges. The two men held in Hot Springs and Pine Bluff, admit selling the stamps but deny any knowledge that they were counterfeit. They both declare ttoat the stamps came from “headquarters" and they thought them legal. A further check of other surround ing towns shows that these tax stamps have been sold to the amount of $lO,- 000 throughout the state, detectives say. Merchants, warned that arrests would follow if "bogus" stamps were used, have sent many tax stamps here for an examination. Through this method, detectives have found many of Jhe stamps-to be counterfeit. Local officers at pres ent are in aurrouuding towns gather ing evidence.

Dickson, president of a bank in Gastonia, Mr. Dickson says: “I want to express to you my sincere thanks for your interest in this matter which is so vital to the welfare of every county and city in North Carolina,” adding that it had just been the duty of the bank to notify a cotinty that due to its negligence in meeting its obligations, the bank could not grant a loan which had been requested. The letter of Mr. Dickson to Gov ernor McLean follows: ““Having read the contents of your letter in regard to this subject, as copied in the various newspapers to day, in behalf of our organization I want to express to you my sincere thanks for your interest in this mat ter, which is so vital to the welfare of every county and city in North Carolina, I am sure that I voice the sentiment of every leading bond I house throughout the country who; specialize in North Carolina county | and city bonds. “Only yesterday it was our sad duty to inform a county in the north western part of the state that due to their negligence in allowing their obligations to go in temporary de fault we were unable to grant them a loan to meet their running ex penses in anticipation of the collec tion of taxes. "I am quite sure that if you will j continue your efforts along this line it will be the means of placing our | North Carolina municipal bonds up on a high credit basis in the general municipal markets.” Venable Case Thrown Out.
