SHERRILL, Editor and Publisher JUSTICE SIDDONS KOI CERTAIN YET ABOUT TESTIMONY Says He Wants to Know More About Case Before Rendering Decision on the Question. WAS SINCLAIR MADE TO TALK? This Point Must Be Decid ed Before Point Can Be Settled at the Conspiray Trial in Washington. Washington, Oct. 24.—C4>)—The de cision as to admission at their crim inal trial of the testimony given be fore the Senate oil eommittqp by Harry F. Sinclair and Albert B. Fall was deferred today by Justic Siddons in the District of Columbia Supreme Court. The justice said he wanted further evidence as to whether Sinclair was subpoenaed before that committee be fore he passed upon so important a point in the present case. Neither sid* had made it clear by the evidence, Justice Siddons said, whether Sinclair had appeared volun tarily, been invited, or actually legally summoned. The immediate point on which Jus tice Siddons had # been asked to rule was the admission of Sinclair’s state ment of December 24, 1923, to the Senate committee that"he went to Three Rivers, N. Mex., in December, 1921, to see Fall about leasing the Navy’s Teapot Dome oil reserve, which led to the present trial of the oil man and the former secretary of the in terior. At his trial for contempt of the Senate, Sinclair contended through counsel that he never had been legally summoned before the committee, and consequently never was a legal wK ness within the meaning of the con tempt statute. FRED. ANDERSON FOUND LONE MOUNTAIN CAMP ! Slept on Shotgun Loaded With Black -5 shot—Pockets Full of Ammunition.

CONCORD, N. C., MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1927 HELMET MAY LEAD TO DISCOVERY DF FATE OF REDFERN Helmet Found at George town, British Guiana, and Was Sent to Backers of Reds era’s Flight. HELMET FOUND IN SEPTEMBER Was Picked Up at Railway Track at Better Hope But Woman Has For gotten Exact Date. Washington, Oct. 24. — (A*) —The State department has received by mail from the consulate at Georgetown, i British Guiana, a waterproof helmet I of American manufacture, which may prove to be to the fate of f Paul Redfern, missing Brunswick-Bra zil aviator. The helmet has been sent to Red fern’s backers for possible identifica , tion. In transmitting the package, the consul said the helmet had been found near a railway track at Better Hope, a few mi’.es east of Georgetown, by Mrs. Ceeeilia Josephs, some time dur ing the week ending September 3rd. Her recollection was that three na tives of the same vicinity had report ed on August 28th having heard the motor of an airplane, the date indicat ing a possibility that the plane might have been Redfern’s ship. The helmet fastening bore the stamp of a Providence, R. 1., concern. Mrs. . Josephs, the consul said, had not re vealed the fact that she had picked up the helmet for several weeks af terward, and did not recall exactly the day on which she found it, but i was certain it was some time in the week ending September 3rd. / t Redfern was last seen by a steam ' ship from. which he asked directions 5 as to the nearest land, and which en . deavored to direct him on a course that would have carried him to the coast of British Guiana in the vicinity of Georgetown. j DAVIS VERDICT STIRS THE BRITISH PEOPLE I Was Found Not Guilty After Con fessing He Slew Child to Keep Her > From Further Suffering. > London, Oct. 24.—OP)—All Eng : land has been plunged into discussion ! of “the right to kill** as a result of ! the acquittal Saturday of a young widower, Albert Davis, of a charge of murder for drowning his three-year old daughter to save her further ter rible suffering from an incurable die ease. Most of the newspapers applaud the acquittal, but insist that the case is exceptional, and that there should be no loosening of the laws protecting human life. On the other hand, the Daily Ex press quotes Conan Doyle, famous author, and himself a physician, as saying: “I think that if there were a law that three medical certificates would justify the putting away of a person who is 'in a hopeless position as re gards life and death, it would be a very great improvement. It would only be humanity and common Bense.” Surgeon Drops Dead While Helping Perform Operation. Passaic, N.

BANK FAILURES ARE DISCUSSED Are Due to System. Used by ..Various State Banking Department, One Speak er Declares. Houston, Texas, Oct. 24. —(A*) —Tax revision, legislation, educational cam paigns and exposes of “gold brick financing” featured discussions at the opening of the American Bankers As sociation convention here today. Responsibilty for the bank failures of the deflation period was charged directly to systems used by the vari ous state banking departments and the comptroller of the currency, by Dan V. Stephens, president of the Fremont State Bank, Fremont, Ne braska. The business of the country now is being conducted by about 4,000 less banks than existed seven years when the deflation started, he assert ed, and no doubt could be conducted with 4,000 less banks than are now operating. “In other words,” said Stephens, “the first and primary cause of bank failures is the excessive number of banks created by the various state banking departments, and the comp troller of the currency. “The remedy lies in the mere vol untary act of the various banking de partments in restricting charters to the actual needs.” MAN DISAPPEARS WITH HIS WIFE’S BANK ROLL Lares Gastonia Woman to Durham to Wed Him, Promising Her Fine Home.

While the Premier was speaking, scores of Italian airplanes droned over Rome in the bright sunlight of morning, as material symbols of the question under discussion at the Con gress. The Premier also declared there was need for the development of air mail routes throughout the world. John Jay Ide, official representative of the United State, was present.

C. BASKERVILL. , ’Trib""e Bureau S r , ?r Hotel. I Raleigh, Oct. 24, her or not ’ there will be a Stat ,in Raleigh in the fall of 1928 argely de pends upon the spee* which the old State Agriculturi liquidate its outstay odes and raise $125,000 in cas, the City l of Raleigh sell its $7 n bonds, and (he two together i the sum of $200,000 in cash to te. For under the terms of th creating the state fair, this sum ___ oe paid over to the State Treasurer before the Governor and Qouncil of State 1 can set aside the 200 acre site further provided in the act. , The situation here at' present is rather paradoxical, for despite the ’ fact the greater part of the criticism that has been aimed at the Governor over the State Fair question has come from Raleigh, it appears that no one in Ralhigh, including the mayor or the attorneys for the Agricultural Society had examined into the law closely enough to realize that this' $200,000 | must be available in cash, and not iu mere promises, before the council of 3tate could proceed with the selection , of a site, or before the fair directors could begin to direct. So while Governor McLean is now ready to announce the directors, and to proceed with the work of selecting a site, all of this must now wait while the directors of the old Agricultural Society and the officials of the city of Raleigh scramble around and make some arrangement to secure the $200,- 000 in cash —and most of which is uow on paper. True, the law does not provide that the board of directors canuot-be named until after this $200,000 has been paid over, but the Governor sees no necessity for naming them or calling hem together until this money is available and they can have some thing to work with. “I could announce the names of the directors today, since I have decided who they will be,” the ►Governor said today, “but I cannot see that anything >is to be gained by so doing until every thing is in readiness for them to start $60,000 IS COLLECTED FROM GAME LICENSES Probable That Total WiU Be Higher When All Reports Are Submitted. The Tribune Bureau Sfr Walter Hotel Raleigh, Oct. 24.—With many of the selling agencies not having completed reports, receipts by the department of conservation and development of game license fees Saturday had passed $60,- 900 for the season, according to Assis tant Director J. K. Dixon. * ' ' " Mr. Dixbn pointed out that the sale of licenses has probably reached a sum of several thousand dollars larger than the receipts by the department since reports from some of the more popu lous and best game counties have not vet been completed. Incomplete tabulations at Mr. Dix on’s office several days ago showed that Pitt county was in the lead in remittances, the county having re turned $2,200. Durham came next in the tabulation with $2,058, followed n close order by Forsyth with $2,- 044. Craven county also ranked among the leaders in total collections, show ing $1,927., Other counties that have (‘xperienced large selections include the following: Buncombe, $1,876;- Hali fax, $1,772; Wilson, $1,390; Guil ford, $1,213 r* Robeson, $1,088; and Edgecombe, SI,OOO. These figures, in many cases incomplete, says Mr. Dix on, may change materially the order in which the counties are ranked in line of total receipts. Mr. Dixon expresses pleasure over the receipts up to this time and the public support which is being given to the game officials. He considers the present record especially good fiinee only a few of the more import ant game seasons are open so far. The rabbit season, opening on No vember Ist and quail season on De ember Ist are expected to cause an other rush for hunting licenses since these are two of the most popular species of game in the state. According to the present outlook, Mr. Dixon believes that the receipts from the game law will run up to $150,000 or beyond for the first year of its operation. - DUKE GLEE CLUB HAS FIRST PERFORMANCE Musical Organization Delights Chapel Students at First Appearance. Durham, Oct. 21. —Tumultous ap plause that echoed and re-echoed through the new Auditorium building greeted the first performance of the year of the Duke University Glee Club here today. The club, under the direction of Mr. J. Foster Barnes, sing “The Bells of St. Mary’s,” a four pafrt male chorus number. Mr. Barnes, formerly of Ashevillt where his choir was one of the most noted in the South, is exceedingly optimistic over the prospects’ for the club this year. He has a wealth of good material and is planning several large undertakings. Three practices are held every week and very rapid progress is being made by the club. Several trips are being planned for this year, the first to come just before Christmas. Over n hundred aspirants tried out for the club, but the list has been narrowed down to seventy, with the next cut in the squad coming next week. Besides the trips scheduled for this season, Mr. Barnes plans to take th" club to Europe either next summer or the summer or the summer of '29. Several inquires h-.ve bven made and offers are being received for con certs. The rendition today was the first of a series of chapel programs that the club will furnish from time to time during the year. A company in Mexico proposes tne establshment of a one-day air service between Mexico City and the Ameri can border byway of Tampico and Matamoras. 1 $2.00 a Year, Strictly in Advance to wort.” However, officials here are opti mistic, and feel, sure that arrange ments can be worked out and the $200,000 cash made available within a week or ten days at most. A meet ing of the officers of the Agricultural Society and the city officials will be held Monday, at which time final plans of procedure will be worked out. It is expected that both the Agricultural Society and the city of Raleigh will negotiate some kind of a temporary loan, until outstanding notes can be taken up and Raleigh’B $75,000 bond issue sold. There was a feeling among some, following the announcement by the Governor that, he could not appoint the fair directors nor set aside the land until after the $200,000 had been paid to the state in cash, that he was merely making an attempt to “pass the buck” and put the responsibility for delay upon the old fair association and the city of Ral eigh. However, this feeling has large ly disappeared here following the con ference between Governor McLean, Mayor E. E. Gulbreth and General Albert L. Cox, attorney for the fair association. Mayor Culbreth and General Cox assured the Governor that no time would be lost in meeting the terms of the act, and the Gover nor has pledged his cooperation to them, in assisting them in any way possible. “We are going to lose no time, and hope that we will be able to have the necessary cash in hand by the last part of the week,” said General Cox in speaking for the old fair associa tion. The act under which the City of Raleigh authorized the $75,000 bond issue for the fair, stipulates that this money shall not be paid over until the old fair association pays its money over, but the city will pay this $75,000 as soon as the agricultural society does, Mayor Culbreth declares. Thus while some slight delay still seems in prospect, it does not seem that it will be as great as was feared at first, so that the State Fair should be well on the way to reality within another week. WESTERN SENATORS CALLED TOGETHER Want to Iron Out Differences on Farm Legislation Before Congress Is Called to Meet. Washington, Oct. 24.— UP) —With the purposes of one of its members vigorously challenged by Governor Mc- Mullen, of Nebraska, the Senate’s new combing of western independent Re publicans was called together today in an attempt to remove its differences on farm legislation. . | The Nebraskan's attack embodied in a statement issued at Lincoln was directed at Senator Borah, of Idaho, a leader in the western block, who said McMullin is jeopardizing the suc cess of the Republican party in the coming political campaign, and the ag ricultural program as well as a “wide ly propagandized move” to gain con trol of the western delegates to the National Convention. The farm states, he declared, are now In a better position to obtain legislation they desire than they have been in years, and to “accept serious ly the program which Senator Borah seems to be heading would mean throw ing this chance away.” Pastpone Action. Washington, Oct. 24.— UP) —Action on a farm relief program was post poned today by the group of western republican senators which recently organized in the interest of legislation for the west until additional. senators from that territory arrive.
