HERNORPINCHOT SEES 3 PROBLEMS FOR THIS COUNTRY I Law Enforcement, Conser vation of Natural Re ! sources and Control of J Industries Big Problems. j GOVERNORS HEAR PINCHOT SPEECH *Was Delivered at 12th An nual Gathering of Gov ernors at Cheyenne.— Many Governors There. i j Cheyenne. Wyo., July 20.— UP) — ; The United States is faced with firee ] outstanding problems, law enforoe- I ment, conservation of natural re- I sources, and control of nationwide ; corporate monopolies. Gov. Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, told the twelfth annual conference of gover nors in an address today. He classed law enforcement as the “moral problem of the nation” and the conservation of natural resources as the greatest economic problem in the United States. “In dealing with law enforcement there must be no twilight zone be tween # state and federal authorities where the enemies of society might hide themselves and escape punish ment.” he said. • “Neither can we suffer the state-made nullification of our national constitution whether un der the guise of a state referendum or by the failure of the state to ex ercise its co-ordinate powers. “I have small sympathy with the view which regards every new use of the federal power as pecessarily an usurpation of rights properly belong ing to the states. The recent out burst against President CooJidge’s or der for the co-operative use of state and local authorities in law enforce ment is a typical example. Federal and state action should be co-opera tive, not hostile.” FIGHT ON OLD BLUE LAWS. Foreshadowed as One of the Greatest Legal Skirmishes in the State. (By International News Service.) w Asheville, ,N. C., July 26.—Expon ents of liberal thought ami restric tkwriwtn south'' wiH lock tiertm ttr mountains of North Carolina in what is foreshadowed as one of the greatest legal skirmishes ever to take place between two groups of ex tremists. Asheville, North Carolina's moun tain resort city, has been selected by the National Association Opposed to Blue Laws as the city in which .the test case for Sunday baseball and movies will be made. Linn A. E. Gay, secretary-treas urer of the association and Henry Flury, of Washington, D. C., an nounced on their arrival here plans for bringing the case into the-courts in an effort to banish the , blue law hold on the state. As soon as preparations can be made, they declared, either a Dtuse ball game or a movie will be held on Sunday. Then, they said, the nation al association will be ready to aid them in the trial they anticipate will ensue. Gay maintains that North Caro lina’s blue laws were passed before the ratification of the United States and are therefore unconstitutional. He will base his case upon this con tention, he declared. From North Carolina the two liberalists will go to Tennessee and then to Missouri in an effort to break down the blue laws in those states. North Carolina Day at the Sesqui- Centennial. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 26—North Carolina day at the at Phil adelphia has been set for October 11th instead of October 6t’a, at the request of the American Legion in North Carolina, it has been an nounced by Governor A. W. McLean. October 11th is the opening day of the American Legion convention in Philadelphia, and it was thought that a larger number of North Carolinians would be in Philadelphia then than at any other time. Recently the Daughters of the American Revolution in the state asked that North Carolina day be changed to some date in the last two weeks of October, but as Governor McLean had already tenatively agreed to fix the date on October 11th if the date could be changed at all, it was not possible to conform writh the wishes of the D. A. R. The time fixed, however, is so close to the times asked by the D. A. R. that it is hoped it will be convenient for both organizations to be well rep resented at the sesquicentennial on North Carolina day. The Price of Being Sociable.

Sell, or a man giving that name anyway, confronted two pedes trians waiting for a trolley car here the other R. P. AVilliams and Patrolman Joe Borning. Borning accepted and Sell drew a quart from his pocket, police reports said. Sell was immediately taken to jail, the liquor taken from him and he was required to post a $25 catfli forfeit for his appearance in court. “That’s the price I pay for being sociable,” growled Sell as he left.

Amidst Echoing Hallelujahs Dr. Chappell Resumes Pulpit Asheville, July 25.—Hallelujahs echoed through Central Methodist Church here today w'aen Rev. Ashefey j < to big pulpit nftyr a suspension of two mofrtbs and a clerical trial which acquitted him of | serious charges. j The fast swelling note of the hal- , lelujah chorus from Handel’s “Mes-. siah” bad not died away before the ■ populdr pastor launched into his ser-1 mon on the subject, “The Old Rugged I Cross,” before a congregation which packed the auditorium and overflowed into the vestibules and yards. Dr. Chappell, a slight little man,, member of a family long distinguished in southern Methodism, avoided any reference to the affair which began with his arrest in Memphis, Tenn., on a disorderly conduct charge and came to a climax with the declaration of j thirteen ministers at Statesville Tues- j day that he was innocent of immor ality, falsehood and attempted brib ery. Special music, the huge congrega tion, a comment in the printed church bulletin, and the fervent reception which made the Asheville pstor its center after the service, testified to the dramatic interest in the minister's home-coming and the loyal support wliich the people have pressed upon him. , Church Completely Loyal. “We believe in him; we love him, and We’ll stay with him to the last man,” a spokesman for the board of stewards declared in summing up the attitude of the church toward Dr. Chappell. . ■ - ObViously tired and strained under the burden of recent experiences, Dr. Chappell yet spoke with great vigor and vocal clarity, pacing with dyna mic enrvous energy to and fro in his pulpit as he delivered his 20-minute message. I A demonstration by the stewards of the church, planned for the open ing of the service, was abandoned Avhep the crowded doors and aisles seemed impassable. The stewards had expected to march in the rear of the minister When he entered and sit behind him as a symbol of their sup port. Friends of Dr. Chappell feared that the culminating strain of the trial and sermon might result in an emo tional breakdown. Continuous smiles on his face and words or thanks from his hips as hundreds greeted him af ter the service were the only indica tions of his emotion. Passing in line for fifteen minutes, the crowd shook the pastor’s hand and patted him on the back with con gratulatory expressions while many men embraced him. His wife, stand ing near him, was often in encircling arms of the women. She, too, was smiling her appreciation. Greeted by Governor Brough. Among the first to greet the preach er before he left the pulpit was Chas. Hillman Brough, former governor of Arkansas, who knew Dr. ( happell in his Fayetteville ministry. Although he had taken no part in the preliminary services, Dr. Chap pell after his sermon opened the doors of the church and received five new members by letter. The benediction was pronounced by Dr. H. K. Boyer, pastor at Shelby, who conducted Dr. Chapell’s defense before the board of ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Dr. Chappell brought his recent ad vocate. into the pulpit and introduced CONCORD, N. C„ MONDAY, JU LY 26,1926 ; “"“j' ALBERT SAPPAUT jflL iSli -l-jBBt sew is mwn eld him. but made no reference to the part of either, in the recent trial, j The service tonight was sevuifn* le-J« hei . , , FyCt-d t » a musical | gram. Cross Is Ttehcro. j The theme of the morning service j throughout was “The Cross." De- j ; spite the fact that no mention was ! made in the pulpit of the pastor's! I trial, some in the audience professed to see significance in the subject which was treated by the choir and preacher. T)r. Chappell has referred to the ecclesiastical proceedings , against him as “my Gethsemane.” The weekly church bulletin con tained this comment, signed by J. Foster Barnes, director of music and religious education in 1 the Central Church : ! “We feel * surethere is joy in ! heaven as on earth in the fact that ; one of God's workmen has been re j stored to his church and his service. I During the anxious hours of agon-, izing, the members of the Central Church ‘stood every man in his place round about the camp,’ and it has been beautiful. “May this joyful day be but a be ginning of even better and bigger days for Central Church.” Women in Great Majority. Central Church, whose membership numbers a large part of the fashion able folk of Asheville, was filled be fore the preaching hour and scores were turned away after chairs in the aisles, the gal’.eries and standing room about the walls had been occupied. Women formed the great majority of the gathering. Perhaps 1,500 persons were inside the auditorium. The great throng was silent as the choir, directed by Mr. Barnes, 1 filled the house with the triumphant notes of Handel’s celebrated chorus. Scores without the church house heard the music rejoice: “For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. “And he shall reign King of Kings and Lord of Lords. “Forever. 1 “Hallelujah.” With the last sound of the music, Dr. Chappell, appearing before his people for the first time in more than two months, was on his feet. In direct and simple language he an nounced his subject, “The Old Rugged Cross,” and his text reading from Gallatians chapter vs, a part of the 14th verse: “But God forbid that I should g’ory save in the cross of the Lord; Jesus Christ.” The preacher sat down without os tentation at the conclusion of his ser mon and the service proceeded with the singing of two members of the choir, of “The Old Rugged Cross.” The congregation sang “In tfie Cross of Christ 1 Glory,” after the pastor had issued the customary invitation for membership. A dense throng crowded down to the altar rail as other moved out of the church. Dr. Chappell was show ered with assurances of friendship and support as die people moved past him for fifteen minutes. Among those who pressed forward to greet him were members of other Protestant de nominations, and Jews. “This warms my heart,” the tired minister said quietly as he turned to leave the hopse with his wife and two children, Ashel, Jr., 14, and Maude Gould, 11 years old. ]♦**********«*♦: ; * ' * NO ARRESTS FOR * * INTOXICATION IN * * v SEVERAL WEEKS * *; ' X ing too freely of liquor coneoc- tions they are keeping away from po'ice officers. * It was stated at police head quarters this morning that no $6 arrests for intoxication have I been been made in several weeks, a condition seldom found in any city the size of Concord.

Tribune Raleigh Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. July 26.—The credit bal apete in the State treasury at the , c'.Qse of the first fiscal year of the present biennium, on June 30. 1026, was $1,260,824, instead of the $1,126,- SOS 'as estimated, representing an in crease of $145,426. according to the ofljoial .statement issued by the Bud get Bureau containing all the final figures for the fiscal year. Berhaps of next importance to the Surplus or credit balance, as Governor A. W. McLean as director of the bud get prefers it to be called is the fact that the net revenue collected from taxes . for the fiscal year just ended was’ $12,072,183.07, as compared with a revenue of $8,434,205 collected for the fiseal year ending June 30, 1020. The total expenditures for the year just ended June 30, 1025. The total expenditures for the year ending June 30, 1025 were $12,616,072. Thus, the expenses of the past year were $013,- 713 less than for the year previous, despite the fact that for the most part, particularly in institutions, the normal expenses increased. Thus this sav ing ip expenditures was very largely the result of economical administra tion by the various department and in stitution heads. Thus the credit balanee is the dif ference between the revenue —the in come from taxation —and the expen ditures. And In this case the revenue of the general fund exceeded the ex penditurs by $1,260,824.04. The gross receipts ot general fund revenues amounted to $lG^2O, 747.60. ,But fh : s total represents the iuc!ps -of Institutional and departmental receipts, derived from t nlfi»ie, fees, income from farms, etc., amounting to $3,248,183.07. This year represents I the first year which the receipts from I the various institutions have been j handled through the State treasury and made a part of the general fund, as heretofore they have been deposit ed by each institution, and used to defray running expenses. The past year all such receipts have been reported and turned in to the State treasury, after which they have been applied as before. The net expenditures out of appro priations amounted to $11,702,359.93. which does not include the expendi ture of $3,109,967.31 expended out of the special receipts of departments and institutions, which was turned back to the departments and institu tions from which it was derived. The estimates of revenue made for the General Assembly amounted to $12,425,688 and the appropriations made by the General Assembly amounted to $12,983,078, the appro priations exceeding the estimated reve nue by $557,990. The actual revenues collected, however, amounted to $12,- 972,184 and resulted its appropriations exceeding actual revenues, with a final revenue deficiency at the end of the fiscal year of $11,494. The expenritures out of the appro priations amounted to $11,702,300, were less than the appropriation of $12,983,678, so that ns a result of the saving in expenditures, the balance of $1,281,318 was obtained. The net balance of $1,260,824 is ob tained by deducting the final revenue deficiency of $11,404 from the gross credit balance of $1,281,318. The preliminary announcement of I the credit balance in the general fund at the end of the fiscal year made this balance $1,126,398, which has now been accurately determined as being $1,269,824, representing an increase of $143,426. This difference is ex-1 plained by the fact that receipts to the amount of $21,110 in general fund revenues, were had and deposited by July 1 for which the record had not come through by July 2 when the pre liminary estimate was made. The dif ference is also explained by the fact that the expenditures were estimated at $11,824,676. based on the allotments for the fourth quarter. And by Die time all the settlements were made with the departments and institutions ' and the allotments liquidated, the to tal expenditures amounted to $11,702,- 360, or a difference of $122,316. In a memorandum dealing with the financial report, Governor McLean as Director of the Budget says: “The statement of the operations of the budget for the General Fund and resulting in the credit balance, con templates a complete liquidation of the comm : tments or liabilities of all the departments and institutions as of June 30, 1926. All the state institu tions Were requested and warned in ample time to arrange for a complete liquidation of all liabilities at the end of the fiscal year. After settlements have come in and a review of the sit uation with the various organizations, ! t is known that this has virtually been accomplished. The new year starts without any deficiencies or com mitments or carry-overs in any form, while the appropr : ations for the sec ond year of the biennium are eoasid- TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS CLAIMED LIVES OF j SCORES IN MOUTH From June 28 to July 25 in the South 157 Persons, Were Killed in Various; Traffic Accidents.

N- C., July 26. —Textile mills in this section are all operating', although many of them are operating only part-time. Conditions are far from satisfactory, but there has not been as much complaint among mill men as in the last few yeans. That does not mean, however, that the manufacturers are not actively In terested in plans to better their bus iness. There is probably more thought being given now than ever before to finding a solution to their problem, which is now generally rec ognized as one of -■ overproduction, not only of the plain goods, but aI •iMT/rn I oftoti wfaraWe*. ■* The larger cloth mills are evident ly having the hardest time in selling their products. One of these mills here, which makes bed linens and isimi’ar products largely, is operating ! most of the time. Another big mill, i however, which makes dress*''*'g«odß j exclusively, is able to operate hardly ' more than half the time. Th*s mill, j which formerly made only plain : goods, is now manufaeturjng novel | ties of many patterns, including j rayon and rayon pictures, but finds little more demand now than former ly. The condition in hosiery mills is about the same as that in the cloth mills. Some are running all the time and some only two-thirds of the time. Silk hosiery plants, especially the full-fashioned departments, are run ning full time—double shifts. The demand is not altogether for the silk and silk mixtures, however, for at least two or three mills which manu factures only the cotton product are running all the time. These best sell ers, though, conform more or less to fashion demands. Sprightly patterns are in demand. Mills whjch make -on ly plain cottons, even though good | grades of mercerized, are the ones having the meet slack time. ! Jesse Wyatt Not Likely' to Secure Clemency. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 26. —Despite the fact that an organized effort has been under way for several months to se cure a parole for Jesse Wyatt, he is not likely to receive clemency at the hands of Governor A. W. McLean. This was learned from ,an authori tative source today, although Gover nor McLean will not discuss t’.ie mat ter. However, the fact that he has had the case under advisement for many weeks without rendering a de cision is regarded as an indication that he does not expect to grant < clemency. Wyatt, a former member of the Raleigh police force, was sentenced to from eight to eighteen months in State prison following his conviction on a charge of manslaughter in con . nection with the shooting of Stephen Holt, an attorney of Smithfield. Holt failed to stop when ordered to do so by Wyatt, who susjjected his car of j being one that was being watched for as transporting liquor. - When the car failed to stop, it was alleged that Wyatt fired after it, one of the shots killing Holt. Wyatt has been in State prison since March 15, 1926 Municipal Swimming Pool.
