Many Problems Before
Geneva Arms Meeting;
Actual Work Is Begun
Plan Os Soviets, Rela
tions Between Italy and
France, and Balkan
Questions Are Big Ones.
BRITISH DO NOT
WANT PROTOCOL
Attack Greek and Other
Delegates For Attempt
to Bring Old Geneva
Protocol to the Front.
Geneva, Dec. I.—(>P)—The newly
appointed security committee of the
preparatory disarmament commission,
its head still buzzing with the soviet
proposal of yesterday for, complete
abolition of armaments, began its la
bors today.
The Russian proposals, the relations
between France and Italy, the Balk
ans and the Polis-Lithuanian contro
versy, although not specifically before
the commission all presented problems
uppermost in the minds of the dele
gates.
One feature of today was an iron
ical attack on M. Politis, of Greece,
and other speakers by the British del
egate, for seeking to revive the old
Geneva protocol which Britain reject
ed recently, as impracticable and over
idealistic. <
“Certain things have been definitely
judged,” he said, “and it seems use
less to reopen the question of how far
objections to the Geneva protocol cor
respond to realities.”
At the same time, the British rep
resentative stated that Great Britain
was ready by every possible way in
its power to encourage and assist in
the promotion of disarmament, arbi
tration and security, but insisted that
the security committee should get
down to clear cut propositions.
Washington. Dec. I.— (A 3 )—The
Washington government will decline
an invitation extended in Geneva yes
terday to send an observer to the se
curity conference. This decision was
made at the State Department today
after a communication froni Minister
Hugh Wilson, transmitting ,the invi
tation, had been received.
At the same time, the department
said that American participation in
the work of the preparatory commis
sion on disarmament, now in session
in Geneva, would continue, and that
the Washington government would at
tend an international conference for
limitation of armaments, which might
be the outgrowth of the work of the
preparatory commission.
PRESBYTERIANS STUDY
PLAN TO LIMIT DIVORCE
May Recognize Desertion as Ground
For Decree in New Kale.
(By International News Service.)
Cleveland, 0., Dec. 1. —The pro
posal to revise the law of the Presby
terian Church to ban men and women
who have received divopce decrees on
other grounds then unfaithfulness is
now being considered by Presbyterian
churches in Cleveland,
An amendment, which recognizes
willful desertion as well as unfaith
fulness as grounds for divorce, ijs being
recommended in a report distributed to
10,000 Presbyterian ministers in the
country. A committee will submit a
report for final action to the next
general assembly at Tulsa, Okla.
In event that the change is agreed
upon at the general assembly it will
then be voted upon by all Presbyter
ian churches in the United States.
“Adoption of the amendment will be
an importaht move to limit wide spread
divorce,,” Rev. Louis F. Ruf, clerk of
the Cleveland Presbytery and pastor
of the Windemere Presbyterian church
said. “In the past the grounds of ‘de
sertion’ have proved elastic, and cov
er a multitude of sins. Either party
in the divorce can establish grounds
for a decree by leaving home. Couples
have grown tired of their marriage
contract and have no real grounds for
divorce and agree to desert each
other.”
The Rev. Ruf believes divorce on
any grounds other than unfaithfulness
is contrary to the teachings of the
Scriptures.
The Cleveland churches have not
taken a definite stand in the matter,
and will not until next year, he said.
“Even if we do not approve of the
amendment after it is passed, we will
abide by it here,” the Rev. Mr. Ruf
said.

FARM COMMISSIONERS
MAKE GRAHAM LEADER
North Carolina Man Is Elected Presi
dent of National Association.
Chicago, Dec. I.—Commissioner j
William Graham, of North Carolina
was elected president of the National
Association of Commissioners of
Agriculture in annual session here,
suceeding Commissioner Berne Pyrk,
New York. Mr. Graham became a
member of the association in 1924
and in 1926 he was elevated to the
vice presidency.
During the past year Commission
er Graham has been associated with
outstanding agricultural problems in
the south. Following the 1926 cot
ton slump due to overproduction, be
opposed a “sign up” campaign as the
remedy and insisted that the only way
to bring about a permanent cure was
to educate the farmers to diversity
their crops and not depend on any
one or two staples.
"He gave expression to this view in
a conference called by Goverpor
McLean and attended by farmers
and agricultural leaders and it was
accepted.
“The sign up campaign” was then
abandoned. At that time Commis
sioner Graham predicted that before
another crop was sold cotton would
be bringing as much as 20 cents a
pound.
In the fall of this year Commis
sioner Graham was brought into the
the limelight when at New Orleans ne
drew up a resolution which was
unanimously adopted by the cotton
states commissioners, calling on &ec
retary Jardine to have the bureau
of agriculture economica stop issuing
cotton-price forecasts. -In this ha
was supported by southern agricul
tural leaders, and Secretary Jardine,
following the New Orleans meeting,
issued a statement to the effect that
the reports would be discontinued.
■ Commissioner Graham was ap
pointed to office by former Governor
Morrison in 1923- He assumed his
duties in January, 1924, and was a
candidate for a term in his own right.
He was nominated in the Democratic
primary of that year and' elected in
the fall by. 110,000 majority. He
comes from one of the oldest families
in North Carolina, being a grandson
of the late Governor William A. Ura-
who was also secretary of the
navy under President Filmore, a
United States Senator from North
Carolina and candidate for vice presi
dent on the whig ticket with General
Winfield Scott, who was a candidate
for President. His father was the
late Major William A. Graham, who
served in the Confederate arrpy acd
was later commissioner of agricul
ture.
Triple Collegiate Agreement Talked.
Greenville, S. C., Nov. 29 —An en
tente eordiale between three of
Piedmont South Carolina's major in
stitutions pf learning is the aim of
a number of moves that have been
made during the last two days to
bring about better feeling between
the student bodies and athletic au
thorities of Furman university, Clem
son college and Wofford college.
That some sort of an agreement
for resumption of athletic reia cions
between Furman and Wofford is re
garded as virtually a foregone con
clusion.
Relations were broken off some
five or six years ago when over ex
uberant Wofford students did some
things to which Furman officials and
students took exception.
The Furman students yesterday
voted to ask the authorities to re
sume athletic relatione with Wofford
and today the Wofford students did
tll6 BRED 6.
Neither President W. J. McGloth
lin of Furman university nor Presi
dent H. N. Snyder of Woffard could
be reached today for a statement but
with the students and alumi in favor
of the teams of the two institutions
competing, it was thought likely here
tonight that something would be done
soon.
The Clemson alnmni met in Green
ville to consider the situation with
Furman and ascertain what could be
done. It was announced that they
would seek the co-operation of Fur
man authorities and city officials of
Greenville.

PRICES OF NEW FORD
CARS ARE ANNOUNCED
Will Range From $385 to $570 F. O.
B. Detroit—Demonstrated For Press
Detroit, Nov. 30.—The new motor
car that Henry Ford has built to re
place his old model machine, was
demonstrated before newspaper men
today in an elaborate obstacle test.
Through blinding eddies of snow,
and over rutty roads, rim deep in mud,
the car was driven at 62 miles an
hour, twirled about, brought to abrupt
halts and taken around curves at a
terrific pace.
At the conclusion of the demonstra
tion, Edsel Ford, in charge of the cere
monies, was beseiged with questions
regarding the secret of the leverage of
the machine. It was explained as due
to* a combination of new elements which
wei£ previously announced. In ans
wer to other questions, Mr. Ford as
serted : “The company hopes to reach
a production of 1,000 cars a day by
January; will continue to make parts
for the old model T machines; will
produce a smaller machine for the
French and English trade and to meet
resistance of high horsepower tax in
these countries ; that plans for put
ting out thfc new- ear were
four years ago.”
The various types and their prices,
f. o. b. Detroit, follow:
Tudor sedan, $495; fodor sedan
$570; coupe $495; sport coupe $550;
phaeton $395; roadster $385; roadster
with pickup body $395; chassis $325.
Trucks: Truck and chassis $460;
truck chassis with cab $545; truck
chassis with cab v and express body
$600; truck chassis with cab and
stake body $610; truck chassis with
cab and platform body $595..
The prices, given out here tonight
by the Ford Motor Car Co., represent
an increase over the cost of the old
model T machines with the exception
of one type, the tudor sedan. The
f. o. b. price of the toudar model T
car was $495, the same as that of the
new type.
The old four door sedan sold for
$545, or $25 less than the model A
car of the same type. The new coupe
price represents an increase of $lO
over that of the old type.
The new sport coupe is an innova
tion as far as Ford machines are
concerned, no similar type having
been manufactured by the company.
The phaeton or touring car, of the
old type sold for S3BO, while the new
type price is $395. The old type
roadster was priced at $350, the new
is $385 and the old type roadster with
pick up body sold for $3Bl as com
pared with $395 for the new car. The
old type bare chassis price is S3OOI
the new $325.
Similar increases are shown in the
trucks, as comparison of prices of
which follows:
Truck chassis (model A) $460;
truck chassis (model T) $375.
Truck chassis with cab (model A)
$545; $450.
Truck chassis with cab and express
body $600; old type $515.
Truck chassis with cab and stake
body (model A) $6lO (no similar type
previously produced).
Truck chassis with cab and plat
form body (model A) $095; old type
$525.
Officials pointed out that the new
type car differs radically from, the
model T, type and offers little op
portunity for comparison.
Yale’s Coaching Job Still Open.
New Haven, ’ Conn., Nov. 30. —
Selection of a football coach at Yale,
to succeed T. A. D. Janes, whose con
tract has expired, has not been con
sidered by the Yale Athletic associa
tion in any way, it was stated with
authority todqy in answer to reports
that had come here that Ed Leader,
rowing coach, might become football
coach.
It was stated that many reports of
prospective candidates for the coach
ing position have come here, most of
them linked with names of coaches at
other universities. The novelty about
the Ed Leader report is that he is al
ready at Yale. Despite this fact, there
has been no hesitancy on the part of
those close to football in saying that
it has become almost a tradition at
Yale to select a coach yho has been
identified with the Yale development
of the sport by Yale men.
It was said also that there was no
i indication of any departure from the
principle in appointment of Mr. Jones’
successor, and there had been no
evidence from Yale alumni that they
desire the board of athletiq control to
go outside of Yale alumni in recom
mending a choice.

Otto Wood Counsellor For Men
In “Death Row” In State Prison
The Tribune Bureau,

Raleigh, Dec. 1. —“Otto Wood, at
torney and counsellor.”
This might well be inscribed over
his cell in “Death Row” in State’s
prison here, where North. Carolina's
I best known and most versatile crimi
nal is now confined, because of his
“specialty,” which is escaping from
prison. He has escaped from the
North Carolina prison three times in
the last four years, and is now kept
in “solitary” in “Death Row” to pre
vent his taking any more excursions—
I unaccompanied.
But at present Otto seems to have
given up writing books to become per
sonal advisor to the other inmates of
“Death Row,” all of whom, with the
exception of Otto, have death sen
tences hanging over them. These other
residents of this most exclusive sec
i tion in State's prison, seem to hold
Otto in high esteem, and refer to him
always as “Mr. Otto.”

State Department Is
Given Unusual Honor
Major Wade Philip’s Department of Conservation
And Development to Make Important Survey
Por Federal and State Governments.
The Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Dec. 1. —Completion of the
arrangements by which the biennial
census of manufacturers in North
Carolina for 1928 will be conducted by
the Department of Conservation and
Development in conjunction with the
Census Bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment of Commerce, has been very
gratifying, Governor McLeain said to
day. Two experts from the Federal
Bureau will come to North Carolina
early in the year and will co-operate
with the state organization in collect
ing the data, the announcement stated.
“Recognition of the ability of the
Department of Conservation and De
velopment to handle this census, after
a representative of the Census Bureau
made a complete investigation of its
facilities and personnel, is not- only a
very high compliment to the depart
ment, but it places North Carolina in
a class that has been attained by only
one other state, Massachusetts,” said
Governor McLean.
“Heretofore the Census Bureau has
made its own investigations and coL
lected its own data,” Governor McLean
said, explaining that the state has pre
viously taken its census under the di
rection of the Commission of Labor
and Printing. Because of the nature
of the w r ork and the difference in time
and methods used in collecting data,
the state report was often in conflict
with the Federal report and it was
practically impossible to get accurate
information. Figures were fragmen
tary, unreliable and often too late to
be of value, it was explained by Gov
ernor McLean.
“The last session of the General
Assembly conferred upon the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment the duty of making this census.
Major Wade H. Phillips, director, H.
L. McClaren, director Division of
Commerce and Industry, and Park
Mathewson, for the de
partment's division of commerce and
industry, placed the matter before the
director of the census. As a result,

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady Today At Decline of
4 Points To An Advance of 2 Points
New York, Dec. I.—OP)—Cotton
market opened steady today at decline
of 4 points to an advance of 2 points.
A little selling on the easier showing
of Liverpool was absorbed by continu
ation of the covering noted on the ral
lies of yesterday, while there also
seemed to be some trade buying.
The market showed net advances of
7 to 10 points shortly after the open
ing, but demand was less active than
yesterday, and prices eased back with
in a point or two of yesterday’s clos
ing figures by the end of the first hour,
under realizing or renewed liquidation.
Offerings attracted by the early ad
vance proved sufficient to carry prices
a shade under yesterday’s closing quo
tations, but the market firmed up
again on renewed covering and trade
buying. January advanced from 19.07
to 19.23, making net gains of about
9 to 13 points on the active posi
tions, and prices were within a point
or two of the best at midday. An
other private crop report was pub
lished placing the yield at 12,836,000
bales.
Cotton futures opened steady; Dec.
19.07; Jan. 19.07; March 19.31; May
19.48; July 19/10.

QUAIL. SEASON OPENS
IN THE STATE TODAY
c.
Wild Turkeys Also Can Be Killed in
State on and After December Ist.
The Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel,
Raleigh, Dec. I.—ltching trigger
fingers of thousands of North Caro
lina hunters were relieved with the
opening of the season for quail aud
wild turkeys today.
These seasons are the last to open
under the new state-wide game law,
and are two of the most popular forms
of sport North Carolina covers
arid forests provide. The season ex
tends to March 1.
Reports from most of the counties
of the state reveal unusually good con
ditions for these species of upland
game and a plentiful supply compared
with former years.
Receipts from hunting licenses dur
ing th'e last week or so have pointed
out definitely the popularity of quail
and turkey seasons, and officials be
lieve that the month of December will
see the greatest number of gunners
that have taken the field in years, in
action during the month.
Another iniportant season that
opened today is that for escallops
which has been set forward a month
earlier than usual because of condi
tions in the state. This season will be
welcomed by housewives of North
Carolina and many other states that
depend on the supply from Tar Heel
waters.

RUPER HUGHES COMES
UNDER SHARP ATTACK
He Is Flayed at Hearing In Chicago’s
'Extended Textbook Controversy
Chicago, Nov. 30. —The exposition of
what Mayor William Hale Thomp
son’s administration calls British pro
paganda in Chicago schools continued
at the William McAndrew school trial
today but the suspended superintend
ent was not there to hear it.
A new object of attack, Rupert
Hughes, the writer, was introduced by
Charles Grant Miller, New York, head
of the patriotic leagye for the preser
vation of American history.
"Miller found in Hughes’ recent his
tory of George Washington a pro
,British leaning, and explained this by
mentioning that the writer was an of
ficial of the Sulgrave institute, “the
purpose of which is to establish Sul
grave Manor in England as the true
Washington shrine.”
Hughes was described by Miller as
“one of literary smart alecks whose
little bag of tricks is limited to drink
ing, cursing and illicit lovings, who
could not comprehend the real Wash
ington if diagrammed to him.”
