LOCAL OFFICIALS LAUGHING STOCK S)ot Machine Crowd Enjoys “Confusion”; Aids Just ice Department Onlly nim»at«*h Huronn. In Tlie Sir Hotel Raleigh, Jan. 14.—Widespread con fusion and inaction in the matter of slot machines and “bookies” on the r»f> -t of local authorities is furnishing advocates of a State Department of Justice with more than a little am munition. They point out that these matters would be brought to a speedy deter mination if there were a central law enforcement bureau for the State. A Department of Justice, they con tend, would soon find out whether or not the so-called “silent salesman”, now protected in some jurisdictions by a Federal court injunction, are violations of the Flannagan anti-slot machine law; and it would soon get a final verdict on whether any one "ov. ononly maintain a betting estab lishment in North Carolina on the plea that it does nothing but receive and transmit money to states where horse race betting is legal. As it is, the slots and the bookies are laughing at the baffled and in effective local authorities. Harold Bard, of Elizabeth, N. J., used to be a friend of George Ross Pou, but the State auditor is now just a bit puzzled how to classify him. Mr. Baird is the fellow who sent Mr. Pou two “baby” St. Bernards, weighing a mere 125 pounds or so each. They eat so much that the State auditor has to figure them in his budget. Mr. Baird was here to see Mr. Pou this week. He brought with him a book, The 1 St. Bernard”, by Joseph Fleischli the on ly publication on the dogs punted in English. The pooches are named Snow Hill and Tiny Little. Farm agents from all over the State, here for the four-day extension work ers’; conference of the State College Extension Service, were shown what makes the wheels go round in the State Department of Agriculture. Commissioner W. Kerr Scott had them go through the building Thurs day evening.

Many contend that granting re prieves so late prevents confession of their crime by doomed criminals. Knowing that up to the very last min ute there’s always a chance their exe cution will be stayed, they keep a “stiff upper lip” and a quiet tongue; whereas, if it were known that no re prieve will be forthcoming within, say, two days of the execution date, many would “come clean” and re move any last, lingering doubt of guilt.
