Dr. Hawkins was-ninety-six years old.; . Until a few months ago Dr. Haw kins led a very active life, illness incapacitating him but he kept up his interest in his ; business affairs. For years a director of the Citizens Na ional Bank of Raleigh he rarely ever missed a meeting of the board of di rectors. A native of Franklin coun ty, Dr. Hawkins spent his youth there and entered the University at the age of sixteen, graduating with the de gree of A. B. in 1845. 'indictment of R. H. McComb, Hick ory, student at State College for par ticipation in an alleged hazing epi sode at the West Raleigh institution two weeks ago, has brought from friends of the college about the capital the suggestion that student self-government ought to be tried. Triarof the student, who is doubt less not more guilty than six or eight others but who is the only one 'the grand jury, following an investigation, has been able to hang anything upon, will not be commenced until the next regular term of Wake county superior court next month. It may be that by that time the investigation which Solicitor Norris has- indilated he will conduct will cause the arrest of others. The hazing at the college here has not been any worse, according to President W. C. Riddick, that at other institutions in North Carolina, but it " was considered by him of enough concern to call upon the superior court officials to help stamp it out. Aside from hair cutting and the firing of pisols into the air the freshmen were pt subjected to any other indignities. e , president has indicated his de sire to break up the hazing as well as- thehazers.. ,:.r - ---"---- - - -That the students at State College should be given an opportunity to govern themselves as is done at the University is going to.be urged by alumni of the institution.

Some folks may object to short skirts but the Jacksonville Traction company-is in favor of them if the corporation accident statistics prove anything. J. S. Harrison, of the legal department, announces that figures for 1914, when skirts ' were long, showed 180 acci dents here that year in which women were involved while boarding ar alighting from street cars. Statis tics show that such accidents decreas ed in number as the women followed Dame Fashion's decree and made their skirts shorter, for in 1920 when they were at the "height of fashion" the" total was only 73. Mf. Harrison declares, the greater number of acci dents in which women figured resulted from iong ' skirts, in most instances the, heel of 'he shoe catching in the. hem. Few accidents, of this character occurred in 1920, however, he addecV 1 No Trace of Missing Ship. nles, April 15.

Has Gone Southward. New York, April 15. Bubonic plague, which some months ago ap peared in Northern Manchuria, has crept southward until it now threatens the main grain supply of China, ac cording toa letter received by G. D. Gold, of the Young Men's Christian Association, from Marbin, Manchuria, where Mr. Gold was stationed during the latter part of the war. - Unless the plague can be checked, Mr. Gold asserts, the granary relied upon for the relief millions of famine victims in North China will be cut off. "The situation is rendered more serious," said Mr. Gold today, "by the fact that Manchuria is literally crowd ed with foreign exiles. There are not fewer than 600,000 Russians, who fl6d before the Bolsheviki execution- esr, 250,000 Koreans, and thousands of Chinese who formerly lived m Siberia, but who have been driven in to Manchuria by the Red armies. "Concerted efforts are being made in cities and towns along the Chinese Eastern Railway to combat the pla gue, hospitals being established, and the victims isolated. Efforts rflso are under way to fight the sourge ,pf the disease the rats that carry the germ. Thousands of persons already have died, and been given hasty burial. Strict regulations have been put in effect to prevent affected per sons getting beyond Harbin, and of ficials at Mukden, the next big c ier to the South, are on the watch for the first appearance of the plague. "If the grain supply of Manchuria is cut off, the famine victims in' Shangtiing, Chihli, Honan, Shensi and Shansi will be : doomed. Manchuria representatives of the American Red Cross, the ' Chinese Red Cross and the Y. M. C.

I0G BEGS FOOD FOR HIS LITTLE PUPS Did What Just a Human Moth er" Would Have Done Under Similar Circumstances. Clear Lake, Minn., April 14. When the owner of a dog and nine puppies turned them.out-without food and re fused to feed them any longer, the mother dog did v just what a human mother would have done in similar circumstances. . She went from door to door begging food for her little ones. The dog would scratch at the back doors of Clear Lake Houses and when opened she would look into the face of the person who came and then at her half-starved puppies as eloquently as she knew how that they were in need. Her appeal was always heeded arid food was provided for the wanderers. But in every instance the mother dog, hungry as she must have been, re fused to touch any of the food until her little ones had had all they wanted. The case was reported at length to Sam F. Fullerton, executive agent of the Minnesota Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty, who inbestigated the story and found it true in. every particular. Mr. FNillerton compelled the dog's owner to take her, and her puppies back to provide enough food for them. With Miss Pattie Wooten.

The British mine workers and the represerita tives of the 1 national f eder ation 'of miners hae accepted the invi tation extended by Premier Lloyd George to reflew negotiations for the settlement of the ; miner's strike which nbegan April first The miner's" acceptance 'how ever, is subject. lo the sanction of the other anions of the triple alliance. The conference between the union's executive adjourned until this afternoon yrithout any decision being reached. Premier Lloyd George announc ed in the House of Commons this afternoon that the miners had re-opened negotiations for a set-, tlement of the strike on the basis as suggeste0.4 vThe secretary of Large Congregation Heard Rev. Dr. Turner Discuss Simon's Feast The revival a the Immanuel Baptist-church has not slackened in in terest though Dr. Vines preached his last sermon Wednesday night. The pastor occupied jthe pulpit last night and was greeted by a splendid con gregation. Theife were two additions to the church, one by baptism, the other by statement The theme dis cussed was base on the story of Si mon's feast given in honor of Jesus, recorded in the 7th chapter of Luke. The woman who was a shiner was the immediate basis of the sermon. She brooked all social barriers and cus toms and came to see Jesus, knowing full well that he! would give her the surcesae from worry her heart yearn ed for. Three points were stressed. First, the womamwas where a sinner ought to be at Ithe feet of Jesus. The speaker made the point that the inner s primary placed is at Jesus ieet He is not the child of God The pray er of the publican-in tbe-templer 'iLord have mercy on me a sinner," is his only prayer. He is not an adopted mem ber of great family of God, for to be come an heir of God and a joint-heir with Jesus Christ one must accept the conditions laid down by Jesus. The second thought had to do with the woman's penitance. She was do ing what a sinner ought to-telling Jesus of her sins. Penitence is sorry, 20,000 Bodies of U. S. Soldiers Have Been Shipped Back Home Paris April 15. Twenty-thousand bodies of American soldiers who fell in France have either been shipped to the United States or are now in process of being' returned for burial in their native country. With 102 officers of the American ! army and a personnel of more' than 2,- 000 men working . night .and day in many sections of France, the Graves Registration'Service of the American army has reached a point where it is possibe to forward 4,000 "bodies a month. The work tf sending back the 52,311 bodies designated for inter ment in America will be completed by the end of next October, if present plans are fulfilled. The bodies of the Americans have been taken from every cemetery in the south of . France. The greater part of the effort is now being con centrated in the zone of the armies the Argonne, " etc Seventy-seven bodies of American soldiers who died in Italy will be removed to the Unit ed States next month. x The Graves Registration Servicenow Drugs Valued at $250,000 Smuggled. New York, April 15.- Drugs valued at $250000, said to have been brought into this country by a band of inter national drug smugglers were seized early today in a residence in Brooklyn.

It was in dicated today 'at .the. state department that the American government was disposed to insist upon its original position that Panama settle its boun dary dispute with :' Costa Rica on ' the basis of the White: awards despite the protest contained in Panama's 'reply, received today, . to Secretary . Hughes' 'note of lasti month."' 01GHT CiCELLtD - - j - r ;j 4 . . ' the .railwaymen's union later an nounced that the ,. railwaymen's strike set for. tonight at 10 o'clock had been .cancelled. ' -x - No explanation was immediate ly available ' but "it; was . thought that it might indicate a split in the triple alliance. Premier 'Lloyd George read a letters from the miners stating that the only . conditions on which a temporary settlement could be reached was one which must follow conces sins of the two principals of na tional wages board and a national Pol Secretary Thomas of . the Rail waymen's union announced, that -so far as the, railwaymen and transport workers were concern ed, the strike is cancelled. but it more than sorrow. ' Anyone is sorry of the consequence of his sins, when once they are brought to light True penitence. is sorrow for the sin principle in one. That was the con dition of Peter, not of Jesus. The last point stressed had to do with the Chrit's words to the woman she was hearing what a sinner ought to hear words of forgiveness from the lips of Jesus. All the heaven-bound people have heard these words. The idea of Christ's; .; death standing the re deemed a gpodstead when they meet God was illustrated." Von Hindenburg and Bethmani Holloweg offered to stand trial for the Kaiser, but the of fer was rejected.

The public is cordially invited to attend all the services. is working in Berlin on arrangements for shipping the bodies of 130 Ameri can soldiers who are buried in various parts of unoccupied Germany. This latter work was rendered very difficult because the location of many of the graves was unknown. An expert has been going over the German burial records-in Berlin for several weeks and virtually all the graves have been found. The German government has afforded every facility to the Graves registration serice. More than 20,000 bodies will ' be buried in the four permanent ceme teries which the American govern ment will maintain in France. The Fine Arts Commission of the American War Memorial Council has arrival in Paris for a series of meet ings and a tour of inspection of the permanent cemeteries. The Commis sion has in contemplation plans for the beautification of the cemeteries and . will, determine the character of headstones to be used and the general decorative scheme: to be followed. The commission will probably consult with leading French landscape artists.

J., April 15. -Univer sity faculties throughout the United States are watching with keen inter est the experiment put in effect- at Princeton to have the undergsaduates handle the situation with regard , to the morals of the student body.v The ruling marks the beginning of an epoch in student government in Ame rican universities. The professors of Nassau have decided the time has come when the under graduate is bet ter able to handle the question of his morals than the discipline committee of the faculty itself. Accordingly they have placed in the Senior Coun cil the power to recommend the punish ment of students "for acts tending to injure the good name of the moral tone of the university" without-giving, reasons for evidence to the fa culty. ' Princeton has an efficient protorial system tinder the guidance of Henry Bo vie, known- to Princetonians in song and story as "Hank the Cop." The duty pfthe University Proctor has dated from the days before the Ame rican Revolution when all the Prince ton students lived in Nassua Hall, and, as" the old records show, indulg ed in smuggling roast fowl and beer into their rooms through the medium of the negro slaves residing in "PrW cetown." But with' the introduction of the Honor system into University life in the "nineties, much of the duty and importance of the Proctor was absorbed by the. various undergradu ate bodies, chief jof which is the Hon- 6r Committee itself. Almost ' all phases of undergraduate activity come under this system, from cheating in examinations to the Use of ' "plants" n theseats f-absentees in -lecture rooms.

Being the only club to ever attend a district Rotary convention one hun-. dred per cent strong, with ; thirteen ladies, one newspaper reporter and the cook thrown in, the GREEN VILLE Rotary Club returned from Norfolk this -morning on V a- special train. These one hundred per cent , boys,1 as they were called in Norfolk, look none the worse for their three day's outing. The- oniy evidence "of their dissipation is hoarseness, sunken eyes and sleepy looking countenances. They air. say they had the timeVof their lives and that "" Norfolk -'treated ' them just fine.'
