OF BOMB PLOTS TODAY Oy the Associated Press Chicago, May 17. Police today seaued for unexploded bombs be lieved to have been placed in a $500,000 department building in North Chicago, which wa; damaged by lire last night in the labor war on the police. Another development on which. authorities concentrated their ef forts today was the confession said to have been objfained yesterdafc- from Mrs. Margaret Miller, wife of John Miller, now under arrejst as the alleged driver ,'of ithfe v'death car Irom Which shots were fired killing two policemen in the labor feud last Wednesday. Police connect the firing of the lpartment through labor disorders to a warning given by a man who warned two women in an adjoining building and who ran down the stairs' crying "To hell with the Landis award" The building damaged by fire with an estimated loss of $500,000, was being erected under tfie Landis wage award, a decision handed down by former Federal Judge K. M, Landis, which was intended to settle I .. 1 ! . i iauor disputes oeiween contractors and members ot the Chicago build- mg trades council. The questioning of (Mrs. Miller, police say, brought a full confession from her in which the names of the other occupants of the "death car" were given. Miller had previously confessed, police said. ny the Associated Press. Police said Mrs. Miller admitted tering for the occupants c-f the tlits car who were supposed to have been wounded by shots from police- men's pistol. Mrs. Miller also admit- ted sitting in conference with labor leaders at which plans fat bombing were discussed. HE The following from today's Char- Iotte Observes will be ot interest here: "I am waiting for an officer U ask me to give the names of the men who shot my son,'' T. E- Bud Lip pard told an Observer reporter yes terday. According to him, he can posit-ively identify the men who se riously wounded Carl Lippard Sat urday morning, May 6. "They were not Ku Klux or mem heirs of any good organization cither," Lippard said. "They were officers of, the county and I can prove it by as good citizens as flhere are in Charlotte. I decline to dU vulge their names until I am re quested to do so by local authorities. "Not a question has been asked me by officers since the shooting. My son can identify two of the men also. I can prove hat the men were officers who had made threats against me." Carl Lippard, of Denver, Catawba county, was shot in the left side when he and a companion were going from Charlotte toward New ton about daybreak ot May o. Ac cording to Lippard, six or seven men , .... A. D.((it'c lired upon nis car out ucany Kord road with almost no warning. The injured boy was taken from tjie car at Joe King's and later Drougni to Mercy hospital here. Pin operation was performed on the young man, taking tihe bullet from near the lett lung. Accoruing to T. E. Lippard, this was a very serious operation. Young Lippara was on the operating tlibie ior two hours, he said. However, he has improved rapidly and expects to .oe discharged from the hospital soon. Special Prohibition Enforcement Officer Trexler denied he had any thing to do with or knew anyone who did have anything to do with the shooting of Lippard, according to B A. Kohloss, prohibition enforce ment agen for North Carolina, who ; mirtprL ns savinir that he ques tioned Trexler some days ago. Mr. Kohloss his received information of the stories being circulated around Charlotte that prohibition agents have been among the highway ma- Irauders and hold up gangs. The bill for twenty-odd additional Federal judges is another shining testimonial tjb the improvement of law observance that Prohibition hs brought us. Columbia Record.

C, May 17. The de bate between Dr. W. B. Riley, pas tor of the First Baptist church of Minneapolis, and Prof Z. P. Metclaf, representing the faculty of State Col lege, will take place at 4 o'clock this afternoon- The debate on the 'jqiiery, Resolved, That evolution is a demon strated fact" wil Ibe held at the as sembly hall at the college at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The hall will seat 1, 000 people and inquiries for reserva tion of seats indicate that it will be filled to overflowing. The eontroversary between the preachers conducting services at a local Baptist church and the mem bers of the science department at State College started when one of the preachers stated that there was no basis in fact foi evolution and that no Christian could believe in it. Members of the college faculty answered this in the newspapers and this provoked a challenge on the part of the preacher, which was prompt ly accepted. Back of the local controversy is a bigger fight in the Southern Bap tist denomination over the teaching of evolution in church schools. North Carolina denominational publications have been carrying on a vigorous fight against ,Di William Louis Po- teat, president of Wake Forest Col lege, who taught the theory of ev olution ,tcJ a class in theology.

Dr. Cleland Boyd McAfee, against whom friends of William Jennings Bryan expected to advance Mr. Bryan's candidacy for moderator of the general assem bly of the Presbyterian church, to day upheld the theo'ry of evolution from the theological viewpoint "be cause our religion is broad enough to encompass all the discoveries of science." Mr. McAfee was speaking at a conference at presidents of 57 Pres byterian Universities and colleges' be fore the meeting of the assembly to morrow. i Dr. McAfee declared that conven tional college through substitution of sciences fc'r classics aims at econ omic efficiency rather than the de velopment of chai-acter.

TO CHURCH CONFERENCE PLANS ILL HELP EPA A delegation of men and women -c present ng half a dozen or more local organizations appeared before city council last night in regard to the use of Carolina park as a play around for children and the conces sion privilege, of Union square for the Fourth of July celebration and received a satisfactory answer to both. City Manager Ballew was in structed to' investigate the amount of work needed in Carolina and re port back at the next meetinc and the celebration committee was told (to arrange for the concessions. In regard to the playground mat ter, it was explained that the Ro tary, Kiwanis, Community and other ( clubs would put apparatus in the park at the swimming nool for all the children of the community with out cost to the city; the only help these clubs desiring being improve ments of driveways and the placing of a few lights. Joseph L. Murphy, Claud .S Aib ernethy, Maj. Geo- L. Lyerly, N. W. Clark, R. H. Shuford and others pre sented the various questions. It is hoped to raise from $1,000 to $2,- UUO tor the playground, which would have a supervisor, and it was esti mated that the culbert could be re paired and other improvements made made in the park iby the city for a sum much less than that to be ex pended for the benefit of all. In granting the concessions in Union square for the Fourth of July celebration, city council acted with the understanding that all the money received would be turned back into the city in some form or other. It was a fine spirit shown by all sides and there is little doubt of a big playground here. Among those appearing in the in terest of the playground movement were Mrs. E. B. Menzies, president of Jbe Community club; Mrs. E. L. Shuford, president of the U. D. C.; Tir Tr 1 1 t I Jl tnas. w. ragDy, president oi tne Kiwanis club; Ceo. L.

Washington May- 17. French sources at Genoa prior to issuance by tjhe economic conference of an invitation to the United States to paiticipaty in The Hague meeting sent a "feeler" to develop Kk American attitude toward such par ticipation it was learned today. The American reply was sympa thetic in character but was not an acceptance. This it was said, was the only explanation American of; ficials could give for the confusion in European capitals. The Frenc hproposal was genei-al in character and fixed no time and place for the conference to meet. The American reply crossed on the cables with the invitation to attend The Hague conference and this ac counted for the feeling that the United States would accept. Superiority.

NOTES CROSS ON CABLES' THIS EXPLAINS ' WMM HEAR : LUCAS TALK' . PROGRESS : Paul Lucas of Charlotte, 'who is doing the publicity work for Governor Morrison's live at nome campaign, gave the Hickory Kiwanis club and a number of guests last night some striking facts about North Carolina agriculture, influs 1,i y and commerce and showed what a proper co-operation among all in terests would do for the state. The high school teachers and girls of the graduating class were fnests o'f, the club, and adaed to the enjoyment of the evening. There was action from the time the members assembled for a good meal until Connelly Gamble led with the last song. A piano solo by Miss Eliabeth Russell was enjoyed dur ing the meal and the club sang sev eral songs. As soon as the preliminaries were out of the way, President Charlie Eaebv turned the meeting over to Hazel R. Aiken, who was in charge cf the program, and Mr. Aiken pre sented Mr. Lucas. The speaker apologized for bringing the subject' of growing food and feedstuff to a Catawba county audience, but he said the system of farming east of Ral tigh was entirely different from what it is here. There the one crop sys tem was in vogue, and Craven coun ty alone imported $5,000,000 worth cf food and feed, much of which could be grown at home. Mr. Lucas said thatj industry was furnishing markets for farm prod ucts and predicted li nt in ten more years the opportunilies for good profits would be trebled. He went on to show that farming, industry and commerce were interdependent and tnat an must yiwyt, -t" The (state could not begin to make big progress if it had only agricul ture, for the land could not stand tVio tnvation nee ..'ary. ifr. Lucas sai thal the state was far behind in 4 value per acre of i;s agricultural rs, and he de clared it would se tne standard in this respect wh. : the farm produced most of the things the family and t.tock require. Mr. Lucas showed the remarkable progress the sfete has made in in dustry in the last twenty years and expressed the belief that itjwas just beginning its tremendous develop ment in this line. That would help agriculture. Close co-operaton would make this the richest state in the union, he said. Crouch Baldwin supplied silent boosts of; 4 bottled Chero-Cola. At Y ndance prizes were drawn by Will II. Barkley and Miss Zelda Barger. Hisrh school teachers present in cluded R. J.
