By J. C. RASKERVILL. Raleigh, April 21. —The hubub that arose over the most recent order of the salary and wage commission prohibit- i ing heads of the departments from employing relatives of any existing state employes has now slowed down to little more than a simmer, and at present is centering entirely around the legal aspects of the situation, rather than concerning the principles involved. The climax in the controversy was reached when the letter of Baxter Durham, state auditor, to Julian Price, chairman, said the salary and wage commission had exceeded its au thority under the existing law, and cited an existing opinion by the at torney general to support his point. He further stated that until the at torney general should rule differently, he would continue to issue pay vouch ers as heretofore, and would disregard the order. In commenting on the situation to day, Mr. Durham said that he was in no wise opposed to what the com mission was attempting to do, and that he at no time favored the em ployment of relatives of other state employes either in his own depart ment or in other departments. He declared that as far as he was con cerned it was merely a matter of law interpretation, and that until the at torney general ruled to uphold the commission, he would continue to ob serve the law as he now understands it. “The existing law gives to the sal ary and wage commission the power to classify » tate employes, and to fix salary scales within these classifica tions, and in doing this, it also implies the power to regulate the working hours and fix holidays. But the law certainly does not give thb commission the power to say to department heads who they may and may not employ —and that is what this order amounts to,” Mr. Durham declared. “I am in accord with what the commission is trying to do with re- CONCORD, N.

Detroit. April 21. — UP) —An orcUjf _of mistrial upon motion of defcW* ! counsel today ended Aaron million dollar libel spit against Hefltiy Ford. The defense motion for a mistrial was backed up by fifteen affidavits, mostly by Ford detectives, supporting an accusation of official misconduct against Mrs. Corn Hoffman, a juror, who is was asserted was seen reput edly talking w’ith “Kid’’ Miller, who in turn had been seen more than oooe in intimate conversation with Sapiro. A promised bribe of SIO,OOO fpr Mrs. Hoffman also was mentioned in the affidavits, and it was asserted that' her husband, William Hoffman, had stated that he had counseled her jto hold out for $15,000.’ Sapiro and his attorneys denied any knowledge of any of the occurrences. The motion was in 'four sections, three of which Sapiro and Gallagher insisted in an affidavit by the plain tiff. and a statement by the lawyer represented a “perfect frameup” to prevent Ford being called as a wit ness. The other, however, was ad mitted by both to be sufficient cause for a mistrial. Judge Fred M. Raymond ordetftd the jury discharged and instructed a mistrial to be entered upon the plea of Stewart Hanley heading the Ford defense, that Mrs. Hoffman had granted an interview the substance of which appeared in last Tuesday's Detroit Times. Judge Raymond expressly cleared Mrs. Hoffman of allegation made ill a series of affidavits by Ford detectivqji and other employee*, that she had djjfc cilnsed -a SIO,OOO bribe *rifh ‘KM IfflP ter, and that she had wrongly stated she was a qualified juror, and asserted disbelief that Sapiro had indulged in any misconduct as asserted in the af fidavits, to discuss steps looking to ward a new trial.

Grist, commissioner of labor and printing, who is convinced that if tested out, the order of the salary mid wage com mission would not stand up under the la w\ "If the commission had suggested or recommended to the department heads that they seek hereafter to avoid the appointment of employes who are related to persons already in the em ploy of the state, and had made the suggestion in the form of a recom mendation, it would have been entire ly within its rights, and not a single state department would have object ed in the least,” said Mr. Grist. ‘‘However, the - commission chose to make it an order instead of a recom mendation, and to- make the order mandatory. And in this it has un doubtedly exceeded its authority.” The bulk of the state employes seem little concerned over the matter, the majority evidently taking the position that it is no affair of theirs, since it effects existing employes not at all. A few are vocal in their praise of the position taken by Durham and Grist, but the majority seem entirely in different, though some are heartily in favor of the anti-nepotism regulation. Some of the most ardent friends of the salary and wage comission and of the principles involved in the order against nepotism, are inclined Jo agree after studying the matter over, that the authority by which the order was issued was more implied than specified, that it is not likely to be upheld if brought to a court or legal test. They contend with Mr. Price, the chairman of the commission, however, that the order is designed for the protection of existing employes, and to further eliminate politics from the appoint ment of state employes, and that the order in principal is a good thing. Whether or not the order will act ually be tested out in coutt remains to be seen.

C., April 21.—The week of April 24th to May Ist will be observed throughout America as “Retter Homes Week." Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who is . president of "Better Homes” in Amer ica, today made the following state ment regarding this nation-wide pro gram : ‘‘More than 3.500 local committees invite the American people to join in observing ‘‘Better Homes Week” from April 24th to May Ist. These volun tary groups are doing much to ad vance improved housing, home owner ship, and the art of home making and thus giving the American home more nearly the place which it should have iu American life. They have made gkCfiiie a contribution to the welfare ™ m\V flffinHiivkm tnfr tlon as to deserve the gratitude of every one of us. “The committees have a record of five, years of sound, practical achieve ment behind them. The homes ex hibited each year have represented striking advance in convenience, at tractiveness and artistic quality, with a steady lowering in average cost. Last year's demonstration houses cost, on an average, less than $5,000 to build. The progress from year to year in obtaining better results from money put into the homes, and their furnishing and equipment should be comparable to the progress in any of the most rapidly developing fields of American engineering or industry. The 3,500 local “Better Homes” commit tees are offering an exhibition of pro gressive home building which is a real practical service to the people of America. Last year a total of more than four million people participated in the exhibitions and programs and I hope that number may be exceeded ■ this year.” GREENSBORO STATION OPENED YESTERDAY Million-Dollar Structure Was Placed In Use Shortly Before Noon.

ADVISES EXPERT ' j | j Public Should Be Particularly Care* I ful To Keep Flies From Food ’ I Stuff. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. 1 Raleigh, April 21.—With the ad vent of warm weather come the flies, which means that the utmost pre cautions should be taken to protect the family milk supply from infee ‘ tion. in order to protect the health of , the children,,- and especially of the babies, according to Dr. G. M. Cooper, 1 of the Educational division of the State Board of Health. One of the first steps toward better health this summer in all parts of the state, is to eliminate Hies as far as possible, through home and farm sanitation, according to Dr. Cooper. This can be done first through the elimination of rubbish and garbage heaps in the vicinity of the house, where flies may breed, and on the farms through the elimination of the old-fashioned manure pile, which is the favorite breeding place of flies. The next step in , banishing the house fly, and thus insuring milk and food against contamination from the fly, is the careful and thorough screening of the house. It. is virtually impossible, the experience of the Board shows, to prevent milk and food in fection, unless the houses are well screened against flies. But all this is not sufficient Jo . insure absolute safety, especially with regard to milk that is fed infants and babies. For no matter how many precautions are taken, it is impossible to guard absolutely against Infection, which may come about from so many different sources, especially those germs which produce typhoid and colitis. Milk which is fed to babies should j be pasteurized or where that is not ; i possible, boiled for a few miuutes, and I i then allowed to cool, before being fed. j For even if the milk is Grade A raw milk, with a low bacteria county, and apparently pure and uncontaminated at the source, the only way to be absolutely safe is to pasteurize or boil the milk before if is fed. according to Dr. Cooper. If this is done, there is little chance of colitis, or typhoid developing. , FISHING LAWvS FOR STATE NOT CHANGED Laws Calling For Licenses Do Not Af fect Closed Os Open Seasons. The Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, April 21.—Laws and reg illations regarding closed seasons and: for the protection of fish in the wat ers of North Carolina are not affected in any way by the application of the newly enacted fishing license laws, J. K. Dixon, assistant director of the Department of Conservation and De velopment declared today. I “There has been a great deal of 1 confusion regarding the status of pre vious laws and regulations governing j game fishing since the new anglers’ license bill went into effect,” explain- j ed Assistant Director Dixon, “but no change has been made in the laws and regulations for the protec tion of our game fish. The law spe cifically states that this act shall not be construed to repeal other laws not in conflict herewith for the protection of fish. * “The only effect of the new law up on the old ones is in repealing prev iously enacted anglers’ license laws that applied only to individual coun ties. Open and closed seasons remain the same over the entire state where they were established by special bills or regulations of the board.” After a tour through 21 counties of the State, Assistant Director Dixon finds that the public is well pleased with the anglers’ license law and that the majority of the people' are eager to co-operate in the work. “If the people of the various coun ties will co-operate with the depart ment as heartily as they have indi cated and they will, we hope to re store game fishing in this state to what it once was,” said Mr. Dixon. All funds collected under the act will be used in propagating and protect ing the game fish, and all sportsmen who are interested in seeing this work go forward should encourage I others to buy licenses.” Six Negroes Burned in Car.
