ports that the bag of the semi-rigid
dirigible Roma destroyed yesterday
with the loss of 31 fives was rot
ten, will be probed by an army board
of inquiry. Uoth officers rvnd men
declined to commend today.
Tho board of inquiry will be named
todav or tomorrow and there will be
i full and complete investigation of
the catastrophe, officials at the base
said.
Relief was expressed this morn
ing by those who saw the Roma on
her flight that one of the ai'it com
partments gave way, forcing the big
craft down.
Mechanics who worked on the Ro
ma when she was first brought to
ingley field are indirectly quoted
as saying that' the' bag was rotten.
This is' discounted . by officers, who
say that the bag was "thoroughly ex-
im ined and no faults shown.
They further declare that had the
iag been rotten, it would have de
veloped on the trial to Washington
some time ago in which the Roma
raced through one of the worst
storms in history.

Mr. Lewis without any suggestion

common good.
"We are reaci'y to fight." Mr. Lew-
ij said, "although I am not yet ab
solutely convinced that tho operators
will force us to carry out our pians
for a strike.''
Mr. Lcwis said if the railroad
workers ever went on striko it would
not be necessary for the miners of

said, "Only to show their sympathy."

Concord, N. C, Febi 22. Local
police officers in the absence of wore
from Los Angeles are not yet e'e-x
tain whether or not the man detain
ed here as a suspect is Edward F.
Sands, wanted in connection with the
murder of William Desmond Taylor
of Los Angeles, or Harvey Adams of
Richmond, Va.
The man insists that he is Adams
and that he came to Concord on his
way further south to" seek work
with a construction company.
When examining him last night,
locii'l oficers noticed On the shoulder
of Adams several marks which re
sembled scars, A scar was also
seen on the left cheek and another
on the chin. From the meagre de
scription the . officers have of Sands,
these marks correspond with marks
on Sands' body.
Dr. S. E. Buchanan, county physi
cian, examined Adams this morning
and he declared the marks on the
man's shoulder were caused by ex
cessive flesh and that similar marks
were f;ound on other fleshy parts of
the body,
Adams agreed to be" detained here
until the officers could complete any
investigations they desired to make,
police said. He has been in the best
of spirits since his detention and th:s
morning jolled with the crowds that
came to see him.
The publicity he will receive is the
only feature Adams objects to as a
result of his experience, he said.

NEW BONUS SYSTEM FOR
FACTORY WORKERS
Cleveland, Feb. 22 A bonus sys
tem which ultimately will effect all
its factory employes has been inau
gurated by a manufacturing- concern
here. The bonus is in addition to
and entirely independent of hourly
wages and differs materially from
the ordinary piece work.
Only good pieces of work that pass
rigid inspection qualify the workers
to earn bonus. AH jobs will be anal
ysed and classified according to the
skill required of the operator, every
job being assigned to one of ten
bonus qualifications.
In addition to a job and. bonus
classifications a stand'ard table of
fatigue and rest allowances, classi
fied according to the job is adopted
from 10 per cent to 22 percent allow
ances are madte fc'r fatigue and rest

of the seconci v in all probability
j4u inrougn- 11 t.. y care to stav in
the race, without any stiff opposition
but the other eight districts will off
er a larger number of candidates
than in any recent biennial contest,
so the capital hears. Major Kted
man's determination to again make
the race "for one more term" msy
stave eff the several aspirants al
though it is not certain that Dennis
G- Brummitt of Oxford, former
speaker of the house, will stay at
home without persuasion. Ann if
Congressman Kitchin indicates that
he is not very anxious to return
John G. Dawson of Kinston is ready
and capable of filling his shoes-.
There is some reason to believa
that the disgruntled faction in the
first district will offer several can
didates against Hallet Ward, who is
just now finishing his first two year
term. John Small who was defeated
by Congressman Wajrd is practising
law in Washington and will not be
'n the way, but there is E. C. B.
Ehringhaus, who has served ably
and well as solicitor, and W. O.
Saunders- both of Elizabeth City,
who might feel the urge strong
enough tr. go after Ward's toga. If
E. F. Aydlett, also of Elizabeth City,
thinks he will not have a chance in
the gubernatorial race in 1924 some
of his friends believe he will offer.
Retiring Solicitor II. E. Norris of
Raleigh has announced that he wiil
try to unseat Congressman Ed Po-a
of the fourth d'istrict. It is not likely
Mr. I'ou will have any other opposit
ion because nobody else seems to be
willing to go upr.'n the altar. They
think l'ou is unbeatable and will let
him alone.
J. G. Shaw of Fayetteville and
probably others are thinking of
Congressman Lyon's congressional
scat in' tbe sixth the "Bloody
Sixth" and it will not be surprising
f that district runs true to form and
effers half a dozen. Congressman
W. C. Hammer is rounding out his
first term in the seventh district and
comes back for reelection "upoii his
record" so far. Friend's of Wr. N.
Everett of Rockingham always con
sider him the best man fn the dis
trict for congressional honors and he
may cause John Vanri of Union
county to tryr also.
Statesville can be depended upon
to offer a quartet of candidates for
Farmer Bob Dough ton's - vacancy
since Mr. Doughton has decided to
retire this year. It would be imnos
sible fcr anybody to name the lon;
list of Iredell possibles. Jim Hartne
and Zeb Long, however, can be
"nominated" with a reasonabb
