Government Now Attempt ing to Prove the Records Against Daugherty and i Miller Purposely Lost. M. S. DAUGHERTY BROUGHT IN CASE Hd Is President of Bank | in Which It Is Alleged the Important Records Were Lost. , New York. Sept. 1(5. — UP) —The gov ernment today turned its attenion to establishing proof of the allegations that bank records wlrch it eout?nds would show that Harry M. Daugherty participated in division of a fee of $441,000, paid for refund of $7,000.- 000 of American Metal Company shares, were purposely desroyed.. The fee was paid to John T. King, hue republican national committee man from Connetticutt. Richard Mer ton. the government’s chief witness ha« testified. Most of the records, the government alleges, were destroyed when in the Midland National Bank at Washington (’ourt House Ohio, of which Daugherty’s brother M. S. Dau gherty is president. Daugherty, former Attorney Gen eral. and Thos. W. Miller, formerly alien property custodian, are being tried for alleged conspiracy defraud tlite United States. The government charges they deprived the United States of their “intelligence and un biased service” in paying to Merton, agent for the Societe Suisse I’our Yaleurs, de Metaux. $7,000,000 for shares of the American Metal Uo.. seized in 1017 under the trading with the enemy act. W. D. Miller, who described himself as butler and general utility man for Edward B. McLean. Washington pub lisher. was the first witness called. Miller testified that McLean’s house was occupied in March. 1021. by Daugherty ami Jesse Smith. a : d to Daugherty, who later committed sui cide. Smith was named in indict meats superseded by one on which Daugherty and Thomas W. Miller are being tried. (UTce Cfactffcs as Evidence. New York. Sept. 17.—04*)—Three checks amounting to $20,143.75 which the government alleges was part of the fee Richard Merton. German met al magnate, paid John T. King, late Republican national committeeman from Connecticut, for “rushing” claims through the alien property custodian's office, were offered as evidence in the trial of Harry M. Daugherty and Thomas W. Miller. One of the checks is for $25,000. It is datetl August 1, 1021. It bears the signature of Merton, and is made out to "Cash.” The government al leges t'iiis check was a “split of the $50,000 Merton said he paid King, and that Jesse Smith. Daugherty’s “Man Friday”, got the money. The date of this check approximates that on which Merton said he gave King a $50,000 "advance commission.” Ob jections by defense attorneys kept this cheek from becoming a government ex hibit.

I Poultry raising is on the increase in Cabarrus county and evidence of ! -’his increased interest will be seen at i she Cabarrus County Fair next month when hundreds of fine fowls from local docks will be on exhibition. J. Ivey Cline, one of the pioneer poultrymen of the county, will be in charge of the poultry exhibit again this year and lie has been assured of Mae largest collection of poultry in the history of the fair. * Mr. C ine stated yesterday that he lias been working on his plans for the fair and expects to concentrate his efforts about two weeks before the opening. He has talked with a num bo- of the larger chicken fanciers in the county and plans to write to oth ers. as a reminder of the prizes to be offered for t*,ie finest birds on exhi bition. It is known, too, Mr. Cline said, that poultrymen from adjoining coun ties wi.l send in their best stock for REPORTS SHOW BIG MEMBERSHIP GAINS FDR THE BAPTISTS In Mecklenburg and Cabar rus Counties 1,400 Newj Members Were Added to Church in Last Year. SEVERAL REPORTS GIVEN ATTENTION: Baptist Hospital Shows Great Activity in Year. — Several Able Addresses Delight Those Present. More than 300 delegates and visi tors were present Weedncsday for the second day’s sessions of the Meeklenv burg-Oabarrus Baptist Association, meeting here in the First Baptist Church. Practically every church in Pile two counties was represented. 1 Various reports took up most of: the morning session, each report be-1 ing followed by a general discussion j of the various phases of the work cov- j ered. One of the most interesting reports J was the one made by Dr. G. L. Lump- 1 kin, superintendent of the North Car olina Baptist Hospital at Winston- Salem. In a very able manner Dr. Lumpkin covered the work being done at the hospital, which he described as one of the finest and best equipped ill Pile state. During the year, the report showed, ISOO persons were treated in the hos pital, of whoeli 500 were charity pa tients. The report showed also, that persons from all sections of the state patronize the hospital. At the evening session Tuesday j stewardship and B. Y\ P. U. were t'ue| topics under discussion. J. C. Hack ney, of Charlotte, prominent layman, spoke interestingly on stewardship and tithing. He related his own experi ence as a tither and said he would not think of contributing less than one-tenth of his income to God. He said at least a tenth belonged to God and that we only begin to give when we hand over a tenth. Homer B. Bollinger, of Concord, read file report on B. Y. P. U. work. Mr. Bollinger also revealed pertinent facts pertaining to the young people’s work. A number of other speakers told of the importance of suporting the young people in their woipk.

There are now 375,000 members of the cliurrh in North Carolina and the Baptists ’have the honor of being the biggest de nomination in the state and South. There are sixty-four associations in the state, the Mecklenburg-Cabarrus association being one of the strongest qnd oldest. This association is re porting at this session 1,400 new mem bers, 700 of whom were received by baptism. One of the hig’ii lights of the con vention was the address Tuesday by Dr. Livingston Johns*)u, editor of The Biblical Recorder, the denominational state paper. He pointed out most instructively the historic doctrines of the church, such as separation of church and State, individual responsi bility to God, spiritual democracy, co operative and congregational church government, and t’iie symbolical mean ing of the church ordinances, baptism 1 find the Lord’s Supper. *He urged the churches to support the church papers for the reason that the papers are the connecting links that bind the c’liurches together, they keep the churches informed concern ing denominational affairs, carry who’esome literature into the homes and really the people to the whole pro gram of the church. Dr. C. E. Maddry, corresponding secretary of the Baptist State Con vention, was one of the speakers Tues day afternoon. OFaers speaking then were Dr. Luther Little, on Foreign Missions; Dr. Clay I. Hudson, on State Missions, and Dr. W. .L Giigg. on Home Missions. CONCORD. N.

MAJORITY ROLE TO GOVERN DEMOCRATS AT NEXT MEETING This Is Prediction Made by lowa Members of Na tional Committee Who Oppose Two-Thirds Rule SAY DELEGATES FAVOR CHANGE They Report That 48 Mem bers of Committee Have Pledged Themselves to the Majority Rule. Chicago. Sept. 16.— UP) —Success of the movement within the Democtatic party to abolish the two-thirds puJfe for national nominations was predict ed today by the national committee members of lowa who have been leaders in the campaign since its in ception early this year. Clyde L. Herring, of Dos Moines, and Mrs. Madge O’Neill, of Columbus Junction, la., the lowa members, is sued a statement showing that 48 members of the national committee have pledged themselves for the adop tion of majority rule in all future conventions, and predicting that an overwhelming majority of the conven tion vote of 1028 would be behind the movement on the Jhasis of this figure. Since the agitation for the non adoption of the two-thirds rule began in the lowa comrtiittee last January, the statement said, it had been endors ed by such national party leaders as John W. Davis, the 1024 standard bearer; Wm. G. McAdoo. Norman E. Mack. New York National committee man ; Chas. A. Greathouse of Indiana, secretary of the national committee: and Senator Thos. ,T. Walsh, of Mon tana, chairman of the 1024 conven tion. The lowa committee members be gan a majority rule. Responses were obtained from the national committee members of virtually every state. “The proportion favoring non-adop tion of the two-thirds rule is over whelming.” the statement said. “Out of 57 who definitely gave their opin ions, 48 favored the majority rule, and only nine were willing to see this child of hate, the two-thirds rule, a true relie of political barbarism, eon t;nue to bind the hands of the Thomas Jefferson party. “On the basis of state representa tion in 1028 that instrument of boss control would have only 120 favorable votes out of a total of 1.098 in the convention.” Dollar Days at the Parks-Belk Co’s.

APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN AT ONCE I l Unless Action Is Taken at I Once Exposition Will Not Be Opened on Next Sunday. Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 16. — (A*) —The Philadelphia, Sesqui-Uentemral Expo sition Association is denied the “right, privilege and authority to open, hold or conduct” the exposition on Sunday under a decision of the Dauphin Coun ty court today. The court held that Sunday opera tion of the exposition is “worldly em ployment,” that it is not a work of necessity, or charity, and that the amusuments and recreations within the exposition grounds are clearly in v o’.ation of the act of 1794. This act is the so-called “bine law” prohibi ting worldly amusements on Sunday. The court pointed out that its decision j was not a reflection on directors and officers of the Association in deter- 1 mining to operate on Sunday. Unless steps are taken immediately for an appeal and a supersedas is granted, the exposition probably will not be open another Sunday. Appeal Will Be Taken. Philadelphia. Sept. 16. — UP) —An appeal will be taken from the decision of the Dauphin County court which denied the nght of the Sesqui Centen niel Exposition to operate on Sundays, city solicitor Joseph P.

Following the announcement made several years ngo that the fair each year will be bigger than the preceding one, officials have* gone to additional expense this year to make the 1026 fair mo# entertainiug, more instruc tive and more comprehensive than any of the other faird in the county. In discussing File expense of the 1926 fair officials stated that passes will not be issued as freely this year as they have been in the past. “It will cost $25,000 to stage the 1926 fair,” one official aid, “and we can’t make expenses with passes. We feel certain that the public had rather pay the 50 cents or 25 cents, as the case may be, than bother about getting passes. The passes will be given to Fapse deserving them and to no oth ers.” It was explained in this connection that the cost of the fair this irear will be at least $3,000 more than was spent last year when the program was more comprehensive than any pre vious year. It was also stated that drivers .of trucks and other vehicles delivering goods within the grounds will have to pay a certain admission price. “Tills price will be enough to cover the expense of handling such vehicles,” it was stated. “For three years we. have allowed drivers to en ter the grounds free of charge but THE COTTON MARKET Opened Firm at Advance of 19 to 26 Points.

December contracts selling up to 16.67 at the start on active covering and trade buying. i- j At the low prices yesterday the mar ket showed a decline of nearly 2 cents a pound from recent high levels, and its firmer technical position was a factor on the early rally, while cover-j ing by recent sellers also was promot-. ed by relatively steady Liverpool ca bles. Southern hedge selling continued, however, while there was further com-1 mission house liquidation, and after the first spurt of demand had been, supplied, prices eased off 10 to 15 points from the best. Uncertainty of the further progress of the tropical storms no doubt ac counted for some of the early buying, but otherwise weather conditions were, considered generally favorable. Cotton futures opened firm ; October 16.42; December 16.65; January 16.75; March 16.97; May 17.13. MRS. HALL AND THREE OTHERS ARE INDICTED Charged With Slaying Rev. E. W.
