Correspondence of The Journal. Marshvi'.le. June 21. A pall of gloom was cast over our entire com munity Monday when Mr. E. C. Grif fin received a telegram announcing the death of his son, Byron, at a hospital in Philadelphia. Pa. The remains, accompanied by Mr. Ray Hssty. arrived Wedresday on an ear ly train and T-ere carried to the home of his parents, where religious ser vices were conducted by Rer. D. M. Austin of Charlotte and Rev. C. J. Black at 11 o'clock. Interment be ing In cemetery here. The throngs of friends from a dis tance as well as In the home town and the many lovely floral pieces were silent proofs of Byron's place in our affections and the esteem In which he was held. The nature of the accident which caused his death, as related by Mr. Hasty, Is as fol lows: Mr. Hasty worked on Uie day force and Mr. Grlffln on the night force at the Baldwin Locomotive works. Mr. Griffin had started down stairs Sunday afternoon about two o'clock, when be made a misstep and fell, striking ti is head at the base or hlj skull. Occupants of the house carried him to his rr-otn and sum moned a phy.'loiai'.j, also Mr. Hasty. Upon examination it was considered advitbale to remove him to a hos pital, which was done that night, but life was only prolonged until 7 a. m. Monday. The family have the sym pathy of the entire community in their bereavement. Our town was awakened from her morning nap Wednesday at 5 o'clock by the fire alarm. Mr. L. D. Phifer's meat market and grocery store being on tire. The building and goods were consumed, and the store-room next door being considerably damaged. Mr. Ernest Barrett occupied next door, east, and removed his goods in time to save most of them. Ed M. Marsh & Bro. next door west mov ed out. but fortunately the intersect ing walls withstood the flames. Mr. Phifer'F toads were insured but for rothing like their value, and this Is the third time he has met with this misfortune. We cannot account for the fire as there had been no fire in the store for a couple of days. Mr. Phifer Is an experienced market man and gave satisfactory service to his customers and we sincerely hope that he will not become discouraged, but wai try again. - - The general opinion Is that some of our recent fires are incendiary, but it is bard to believe that enmity even could bring one morally so low. Not that we know of any, but there Is a cause and may we soon find where It Is. Mr. Roy Hasty returned to Chester, Pa. today to resume his work with the Baldwin Locomotive Co., at that place. Miss Zelda Fitzgerald returned Tuesday from visiting relatives at Hoffman, N. C. Mliis Lurlyne Bally, after spend ing the past week at the new Char lotte sanatorium, returned home Wednesday. Mrs. J. E. Bailey was ia Charlotte to be with her daughter. Rev. K. L. Whlttington of Mc Lanesville, N. C, has accepted a call to the Marshville Presbyterian church and will begin his work here July 1. Mrs. Maggie Dean of Charlotte ar rived Sunday to visit her son, Mr. J. C. Dean. Mrs. Charlie Stegall accompanied her Bister, Mrs. Etta Oj;burn, to Ba il in today to visit relatives at that place. Mi's Eunice Marsh and Bernice Phifer are visiting friends at Char lotte. Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Green of High Poiut arrived last v.eek to visit rela tives In tbi3 community. Mr. Green returned Saturday, but Mrs. Green will stay several weeks. Slust Economize, Suys Hoover. Washington. June 19. While both branches of congress continued des ultory debate on the government's food control bill today, Herbert C. Hoover, food administrator, spent Tour hours at the capital emphasizing to a score of senators, gathered In formally to hear hlni, the vital Im portance of tho legislation to Buccess l'i tho war. Asserting that the allies' food sup ply will be forty per cent deficient even with America's food surplus as Misting, Mr. Hoover said the deficiency must be mado up by sacrifice abroad and economy nere. Saving of six cents a day per capita in this country, he said would save two billion dol lars, while a twenty per cent Having In flour would give 100,000,000 bur.hels more to the allies. In this connection, he told the senators that speculators in flour alone have taken $50,000,000 a month from the Amerl can public during the last five months.

No motive has been disclosed as yet for the murder of John Vincent Piper, graduate student at Rutgers college, whose body was found near here Sat urday after he had been missing four months. Dr. William J. Condon, a captain in the United States army medical ofticers' reserve corps, is un der arrest at Chattanooga. T.na., charged with the crime. . Pro.-ecutor Joseph S. Strieker pre dicted tonight theis would be sensa tional d-velopments. and declared he had sufficient evidence to assure a conviction in the car. Traces of lime in the cellar of tho Condon home, where Piper went every day to care for the furnace as part of the work he was do.ng to pay his college expen.-es, and in the Condon automo bile, coupled with the fact that Piper's body was covered with lime when it was found, are declared by the prosecutor to be Important links in his chain of circumstantial evi dence. The prosecutor asserted he had learned that Allison Wellington, a negro who did odd Jobs around the Condon home, ahd seen in the sellar two days after Piper disappeared what he believed to be a body, but when a detective was sent to investi gate, no trace of It was found. One puzzling feature of the case Is what disposition was made of Piper's body from the time he is believed to have been shot in February until It was discovered Saturday. The body was found in a clump of bushes and ap parently had only recently been plac ed there. Doctor Condon had been prominent in society and in politics In this city. He was a lieutenant and assistant surgeon In the United States army In the Philippines and Japan from 1900 to 1902 and was a captain In the New Jersey national guard for ten years after that. Piper, who was a graduate of the University of Vermont, not only plad his college expenses by caring for fur naces and doing other work, but sup ported his wife and two children. He was twenty-four years old Doctor Condon Is thirty-eight. Russian Mission In Tills Country. Washington. June 19. Washing ton opened its arms to the Russian diplomatic mission, headed by Am bassador Boris Bakhmetleff, today .Tf?h warmth and enthusiasm. Greeted by Secretary Lansing and other officials and escorted through streets lined with cheering people and honking automobiles, the mission was given a welcome expressive of this country's response to the mighty democratic upheaval In Russia. Having rested during the after noon from their five weeks' trip, the visitors dined quietly tonight at the home rlaced at their disposal. To morrow they will pay their respects to Secretary Lansing and go to the White House to be received by President Wilson and to present a mossage from the new Russian gov ernment. Lieutenant General Roop will con vey the greetings of the Russian army to Secretary of War Baker. Indications Point to Resumption of War Operations on Big Scale. Indications point to an ozrly re sumption of operations on a grand scale In Belgium and France, if, in deed, they have not already beun In Flanders and Champagre. A signifi cant statement in the latest Berlin official communication says that in Flanders and Champagne "the fight ing activity has been revived at sev eral points." Aside from this, there is no Infor mation as to the exact slate of af fairs. In Champagne, the Germans have made an attempt to recapture positions between Mont Bland and Mont Carnillet, taken by the French Monday, but met with repulse, suffer ing heavy casualties. To the north west, around Craonne, heavy artillery duels are being fought. Only 400 Kussian IX'serter. Toklo, June 2. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.)

Correspondence of The Journal. Wlngate, June 21.-To my sur prise I am at home today. 1 went to Huntersville Monday to hold a meet ing, but was called home to assist in the funeral of Byron Griffin at Marsh ville Wednesday morning. We may plan big things, but God can dispose of our plans in a few minutes. Misses Ellie Bivens and Bess Mc- Intyre are spending the week at Ba din. They are. visiting Raymond Mc- Intyre. J. C. Mclntyre visited Badin last Sunday. He carried his son. Ray mond, home. He had been over for a few days as we mentioned in our last notes. Prof. Liniberry. President of Cho wan Female College, was In this sec tion yesterday looking for students. He represents one of the best female Institutions In the state. Many people from Wlngate attend ed the funeral of Byron Griffin at Marshville yesterday. Brother E. C. Griffin's gamily Is held In high esteem by the entire county. We are just in receipt of a letter from Herbert Hoover. Washington, D. C, urging the pastors of the churches all over our country to warn the people against wasteful ness. This letter states the Allie3 are asking for five hundred and fifty million bushels of wheat, and that we cannot furnish but three hundred million bushels. Now, this means that unless there is the greatest economy used by the American peo pe. somebdy Is going hungry. The war has hardly begun. It may last ten years, or even worse. There wa3 a timely editorial in the Charlotte News yesterday about when it will close. Now, let us say this word: If the leaders of our nation, and the men who are In position to learn the facts In the present situation, say there Is cause for rlarm, Is it not time that we get our eyes open and go to economizing as much as we possi bly can Don't waste a crumb of bread, can all the fruits and vegeta bles you possibly can, and we can man age to pass over the most terrible period In the world's history. A little red bug bite has given us an infected leg for this week. It Is remarkable how small a thing can cause so much trouble, but the great est stirs are usually caused by the oniallest things imaginable.

It would be foolish to try to fore cast the next presidential contest, which will take place there years hence. Many things can happen In three years, and many will. It is whimpered that President Wilson would be pleased to break another precedent and serve a third term. However, there Is a good deal of op position to him developing even In his own party and If this Increase., he will probably not i.iake the effort. In that case, according to the gossip, he ill turn his good-will over to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, his son-in-law, whom he would great ly like to see become his suecc.-itor. McAdoo Is ah'o a Southern man. Ho Is now stumping the country osten sibly In the Interest of the Liberty Lean, but as a tide lino he is can vafsing for Wilson McAdio.

ALLEN'S GONDII ION CONTINUES TO IMPROVE Heretofore Unknown Witness to I Un der lluinuKiii!; Testimony. EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY The condition of Supt. R. W. Al len, who was badly cut by J. E. ESrd last Friday morning, continues to im prove. His physicians have not yet pronounced him absolutely out of danger, but his couditiou today is such that one may safely predict bU ultimate recovery. Mr. Efird is still at liberty under a thousand dollar boud. The war rant against him charges him with assault and battery with a deadly weapon, but it is being intimated that it will be changed to a more serious offense. This statement is made oa the authority of competent persons who claim that a heretofore unknown witness is willing to go on the stand and render testimony of a damaging nature. Nothing has probably ever occurred in Monroe that has attracted such at tention throughout the State. Prof. Allen has received numerous tele grams and letters from prominent men throughout the State. From Sanford. where Prof. Allen lived be fore coming to Monroe, he received the following telegram: "Your San for friend;; resent the cowardly and dastardly assault upon you, and wish you a speedy recovery. At your ser vice if needed." From Hamlet came the following telegram: "Warmest, prayerful sym pathy for suffering In duties. May God bless you, and raise you up soon." Among the many letters received by the family are several from promi nent State and government ofticials. Several bankers and business men of a State-wide reputation also express ed their sympathy for Prof. Allen'8 family. WudeslMtro Citizens Indignant. Prof. Allen Is a native of Anson county, and the Wadesboio Ansonlaa had the following to say about tho affair: "The people of Wadesbora larn- uau mc auiiii, a uu iuc vuumf. to conduct the Monroe schools in a creditable manner. Tho attempts off patrons to run tha schools to suit their own children has got to be stop ped, one prominent citizen pointed out. Prof. Allen tried to stop it, and today his face Is badly scarred as a result of his most commendable ef forts. This same spirit which prompted that brutal assault e::lsts In oth-r places, in a much lesser degree, of course. It has been some time since this spirit has been noticed in Anson county and for this we have cause to give thanks. But sooner or later it may be expected to Fhow up some where. When parents require obe dience of tiieir children In the hoin? and show the spirit of friendly co-op-eratinn and helpfulness, teachers an wonderfully helped in their great mission.
