LEBOEI’F DOES NOT LIKE SHERIFF’S BOAST Is Indignant When Officer SAys She and Two Men Will Die For the Death of Her Husband. Franklin, La., July 21.— (A*) —Mrs. Ada Franklin Lebouef lost the poise that has been hers since she with Dr. Thomas E. Dreher and James Beadle were accused of the murder of her husband, James J. v Lebouef, when she was shown a report in jail here that Sheriff Charle* Pecot had stated that "he expected to hang all three of the defendants.” Lebaenf was highly iadieuant over the statement. Preparations for the trial of the trio accused of causing the death of the Morgan City utilities operator, wh'oae mutilated body was found iu a lake near that place, are going for ward steadily. Sheriff Pecot said that I while there was not enough time be- I fore the trial to have stains on Beadle’* knife analyzed to see whether they are blood, he felt sure the state has enough evidence to convict with out it. He announced that two "sur prise” witnesses had been located who would tell about dispo*a’. of the death boat. The trial has been set for July 25th. THE COTTON MARKET Opened Fairly Steady at Decline of 2 to 9 Points,* But Later Turned Firmer. New York. July 21. —G4*)—The cot ton market opened fairly steady today at a decline of 2 to 9 points, active positions showing nearly net losses of 9 to 10 point* under liquidation and selling for a reaction, promoted by relatively easy Liverpool cables and a favorable view of the early weather reports. Covering and apparently some trade buying absorbed offerings on the de c'ine, and after easing off to 18.39 for I October, and 18.71 for January, prices turned firmer. By the end of the first hour October was up to 18.50 and January to 18.83, or about 1 to 3 points net higher. The market was steadier later on prediction of shower* over a good part of the belt, October selling up to 18.45 and January to 18.85. or about 3 to 6 points net higher on the new crop poß : .tions. There was covering and sdme trade buying, but the bulges met renewed realizing and the market was quiet at midday with price* 2 to 3 poiht off from the best.

' FIRST PRINTING PRESS IN STATE DESCRIBED Entire Outfit for First Newspaper Plant in State Was Made in State, The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter 'Hotel ♦ Raleigh, July 21.—An account of the first printing press made in North Carolina is contained in the historical note*, by D. L. Corbinn, in the Jdly number of the North Carolina His torical Review, published by the North Carolina Historical Commission, which was issued on July Ist. The account is from the first number of the Fay etteville Gazette, August 29, 1879. The entire printing outfit of the Ga zette was manufactured in Fayette ville by Burkloe and Mears, and was declared to possess "beauty and ele gance.” The July review contains articles on “The Preservation of Georgia His tory,” by Theodore H. Jack; "The 1%- rect Tax Clauses of the Federal Con stitution,” by E. H. Ketcham; “Spaii and the Cherokee Indians, 1783*98,t| by A. P.

Geneva, July 21.—G4*) —Members of the three naval conference delegations were waiting impatiently toduy for word from London which might give an inkling of the conversations expect ed to take place between W. C. Brigde man, first lord of .British admiralty, and Viscount Cecil when they met Premier Baldwin and other members of the British cabinet. These two leading members of the British delegation left Geneva for London ostensibly to place before the cabinet a report on the status of naval limitations conference, and it is considered here that much depends on inetruetions they bring back. It | is not expected they will return to J Geneva before Monday. During their absence all but minor j deliberations have been suspended. | Moet of the delegates are refusing i to discuss the moot points of the J cruiser controversy or those of the j submarine quandary which will only j come up after the TTui*er problem is aatisfactorily settled. Stone Mountain Land Subject Os Bitter Legislative Battle Atlanta, Ga„ July 21.—(INS) — Interest of the Southern states and the nation is centering in a bill now pending in the Georgia senate, which would give the Stone Mountain Mem orial Association the right of eminent domain as to lands, within a radius of one-half mile of the base of the carving. The fight now being waged in the Georgia senate has called for an at tack upon property owners who are fighting the bill, by State Senator I). B. Bullard, one of it’s co-authors, who declares that the property owners, in their fight to obtain unreasonable prices for their land, are issuing, or causing to be issued, propaganda against the association charging it with extravagance and incompetence. Mr. Bullard declared that if the memorial was not built by the associa tion as constituted at the present time, then it would never be built. “The association has made repeated efforts to buy this ground,” said Sena tor Bullard, “and from the best in formation obtainable, the owners are either unwilling or unable tp agree among themselves to make a sale at a fairly appraised valuation. Some of those appearing against the bill talked as if it was proposed to con fiscate the ground- I take it that every member of the legislature knows the difference between confiscation and condemnation. "The charges of extravagance made NATURE STORING UP NEW OIL SUPPLIES V' - ; Petroleum Still Being Created For Future Generations. German Scient ist Believes. ' State College, Pa., July 21.—The theory th:lt the natural formation of petroleum is a thing of the past, to which scientists have been subscrib ing for years, >vas shaken by l>r. Hans Tropseh of the Kaiser-WHheim In stitute, Mnnheim-um-Ruhr, Germany. In an address before the Institute of Chemstry of the American Chemical Society here, Dr. Tropseh advanced the theory, based on discoveries by himself and associates in obtaining petroleum products from fuels of var ious kinds, that nature is still at work making and laying up stores of this important commodity for future gen erations. Nature’s probable methods in mak ing petroleum are duplicated in the re cent discovery of the method of its synthesis from water 'gas, he said. Liquefaction of coal by the Bergius ! process is limited to bituminous coal and lignite, but the newly discovered process has no such limitation, ac -1 curding to l)r. Thopsch. “Any of the ordinary sues. whether I of high or low grade, can be converted into gasses, either water gas, a mix ture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide obtained by heating carbon in a cur rent of steam, or natural gas such as methane, ethane, and others,” he said. “Either natural gas or water gas can be used as a starting point for the preparation ofc gasoline, naphtha, lubricating oil or paraffin wax, by our recently discovered pro cesses. "These processes are similar,to those in operation in Germany, France and the United State for producing wood i alcohol, formerly made exclusively from wood, and in Germany for the manufacture of ‘synthol,’ which is proving satisfactory as <r motor fuel." Dr. Tropseh said that in the produc tion of Synthol or synthetic gasoline, no refining process was necessary- In the present iietroleum practice the re moval of sulphur from gasoline has been estimated to have cost American motorists about $50,000,000 a year. Os his theory that iietroleum may be formed naturally under present condi tions, Dr. Tropseh said: "Gases collected from a crater on Mount Pelee, after allowing for the hir sneked id-at the time, consist of 50 per cent carbon dioxide, 5 per cent carbon moonxide, 18 per cent methane and 27 per cent hydrogen —a gas mix ture such as we have often obtained in our synthes. The gutaiysts requir ed for the reaction, particularly the iron, are to be found everywhere, ami the activating substances such as al kali are also present. “There are therefore, indications ex isting from which we can conclude that at least part of the natural crude oil was formed with the help of cat alysts. From this possibility we may conclude that even today, under favor able conditions, crude oil is formed I which cannot be assumed with respect I to its formation from annual residues." —— WilPße Buried Sunday. I Paris, July 21.—04>) —A Havas dis i patch from Bucharest «ays that the j burial of King Ferdinand has been ' j wist poned from Saturday until Sun- I day in order to permit the rural pop ' ulation to reach the capital to pay j homage to the late king. against the association are to tiiy mind an affront to the intelligence of the legislature. If these men and women cannot be trusted to handle the funds and manage the affairs of this enter prise with the utmost integrity and so as to secure the best possible results under the conditions, the people in Georgia might as well abandon the idea that we are ever going to have a great monument to our Confederate ancestors carved on Stone Mountain. If this association as at present con stituted cannot build the monument, then no other group of people ever can or ever will. “We owe it to them to hold up their hands and support them in every way we can. They went to the con gress of the United States and asked for a coin bearing the images of Rob ert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, and congress gave it to them by un animous vote of the house and senate, an unprecedented thing in the history of any country. “The atmosphere has been filled with poison gas in connection with this bill, but my observation is that the members of the legislature have not been strangled or blinded by such propaganda. My judgment is that the bill is going to pass the senate and that the house will likewise vindicate the good name and magnificent public service of the members of the associa tion.” GENERAL SANDINO STILL HUS HOPES DESPITE DEFEATS Rebel Leader in Nicaragua Hopes to Capture Tis capa Fort Which Con | trols City of Managua. TELLS WIFE HE WILL BE STRONG Also Accuses President Coolidge of Being Re sponsible For Fighting in Nicaragua Recently. Managua, Nicaragua. July 21.—(A*) —Xotwihtstanding the defeat with numerous casualties, which his rebel band suffered at the hands of Amer ican marines and native constabulary at Ocotal. General Sandino hope* to capture Tiscapa Fort which control* the city of Managua, now occupied by tlie marines. An intercepted message addressed from Satidino to his wife reads: "Al though they believe me weak, I shall coon occupy the Tiscapa fortress.” Another message signed by Sandino which wa* *ent the day after the Ocotal battle and picked up by ii tele graph operator at San Ferjnando, says “the only one responsible for what has happened here is the President of the United State, Calvin Coolidge, who has supported Adolfo Diaz” (the con servatice president of Nicaragua). This message addresned to "All Au thorities, civil and military,” to ex plain why the Ocotal attack took place, declares that Sandino and his men desire to show they continued to defend the constitutionality of Dr. Juan de Sacasa (former liberal claim ant as president) to dispel the idea they were bandits, and to prove that they prefer to slavery. WRENN TO SEEK SECLUDED SPOT President of Defunct Bank in Move To Dodge Public Until Trial. North Wilkesboro, July 20. —Clem Wrenn, ex-banker of Wilkesboro, who was yesterday released under $25,000 bond when he waived preliminary hearing before Magistrate J. L. Turn er on the charge of forgery and em bezzlement, will leave immediately with his family for a visit to his father-in-law, Rev. M. H. Vestal of Boouville, Yadkin county, according to a statement made to representa tives of the press today by Mrs. Wrenn., She declared that the late president of the defunct Bank of Wilkes, which closed its doors May 28, would' go into seclusion at her old Yadkin counr ty home. Mr. Wrenn, who has been receiving treatment at Westbrook sanatorium, Richmond, Va., following a nervous breakdown since the day before the bank closed, was said to have rested but little on Monday night before his arrival here. He appeared nervous and distraught, so his family plans for him to reciqierate from the hard trip back to Wilkes in quiet atmos phere away from the gaze of the cur ious, the taunts of enemies and the ministrations of friends. Mrs. Wrenn avowed that her hus band would in all probability return to Richmond for further treatment fol lowing his visit to Yadkin. The report that Mr. Wrenn has paid for a reservation in the Virginia sanatorium for 12 months in advance was emphatically denied. The trial will probably be one of the hardest contested cases in the legal annals of Wikes county. The case will probably be delayed until the March coupt, as over 200 cases are already on the docket for trial at- the August term. This condition would only be aggravated by the addition of the Wreen trial. 44 SNAKES ARE BORN IN STATE MUSEUM Only Few Are Left, For Many Os Small Ones Escaped From Cage. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, July 21.—A mother gar ter snake gave birth to 44 young gar ter snakes iu the state museum here yesterday. But of this nmber only approximately two-thirds are alive to day for the small snakes escaped from their cage. One of the mocassins which is kept at the state museum was expected to give birth to a brood yesterday, and, when one of the janitors saw several young snakes on the floor he promptly stepped on them, thinking that they were poisionous. In addition, three of the more adventurous youngsters went to visit an attractive looking copperhead, who returned their cour tesy by eating them. The snakes were able to escape through the wire netting which closed one eud of their cage because they were unusually small, and, being lion poisinous, they had small heads. A brood of 44 is considered unusual, even among garter snakes, and is a record for the state museum. The mother snake was considerably weakened by the birth of the large bnxid. and she was killed by the cura tor of the museum. She will be put in alcohol, and placed, along with her surviving children, in a special per manent exhibit on the second floor of the museum. The young snakes are perfectly able to get along without a mother's care, and would all be alive had they not desired to escape and travel. $2.00 a Year, Strictly in Advance. “Annoyed” jjWaffa j & - H • I ([ t rrf*~ i rin '- ad jr U •••■• :•>• “She annoyed me/’ said Mrs. Cartherine Barrett (above), forty-three-year-<?ld widow of a New York politician,! explaining why she had shotj and killed Mrs. Margaret Moore in the elevator of an apartment house.

Rapid City, S 4 D, July 21.—Presi dent Coolidge’s western vacation ap pears to be having one result not con templated. His visit to the Black Hills seems likely to bring into na tional prominence South Dakotas Democratic governor, William J. Bu low. Almost unknown in the East, a man who has never been east of Ohio, where he was born. Bulow is the hope of the Democrats in the western corn and wheat beltg and already things are in motion to get a place for him ou the Democratic ticket. Straugely enough, the Bu low Vs friends to get him on', (fee picket is likely to improve Gov. Al Smith's chances “lor the Democratic-peetfideii tial nomination, for even those Demo crats out here who don’t care much for Smith agree a SHtlth-Bulow ticket would be the most logical one. Bulow is a farmer-lawyer. He is a Protestant and he is dry to the extent of having a record for law enforce ment. He is almost everything Al Smith is not, yet there is a strong similarity between the two. He has a strong personality, as is attested by his victory in a Republican state when all the rest of his state ticket was defeated. The South Dakota governor was elected by Republican votes just as Smith's up-state Republican support has made him New York’s fourth time governor. Talk to most any Repub lican west of the Missouri River, in the experience if this correspondent, and he will tell you he thinks Bulow is making a good governor and that he would vote for him again. Bulow is tall and lean, with a long, thin face and rather prominent nose. His complexion is the ruddy color of the farmer, for he is a real farmer in I the eastern pnrt of the state. He practices law, but be speaks the lan guage of the farmer of these parts and they like him. ‘At Ardmore recently, in the pres ence of President Coolidge, Bulow touched briefly '•upon the farm relief problem, but left a thought with his hearers which the politicians fear may grow and make Bu’.ow a real power with them. He assailed the Repub lican tariff as the cause of the farm ers’ troubles. In effect he told them their votes for the Republican ticket had brought their misery upon them. Bulow believes the Democratic par ty is the farmers’ only hope. He believes the tariff wall must be torn down, so that the prices which the farmer has to pay for the things be buys will no longer be artificially fixed by excluding foreign competi tion. He believes the farmer’s world market for his grain and other pro duce must be restored or else the fanner must be given the same, sort of artificial prices for things he sells. Governor Bulow was -elected on an economy platform and he has just ended a fight with the Republican legislature not unlike some* of the battles Governor Smith has had with the New York legislature.

The Tribune Bureau Hir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 21.—1 t was an nounced today by the auto license di vision of the department of revenue that 328,018 auto licenses have been issued to date. On the same day last year only 270,000 licenses had been issued, according to an estimate by the officials in charge.
