Vault
(By the United Press)
Chicago, Oct. 11. All night long
detectives from the office of State's
Attorney Hoyne guarded the City
Hall vault, where the letters of Chief
of Police Healy and Mayor Thomp
son are deposited. By their side sat
policemen detailed by Healy.
The grand jury has Thompson and
Healy under summons. Hoyne's raid
on the City Hall was one of the most
sensational performances' ever to
occur in a large city.
Hoyne claims to have evidence that
the administration, aided by control
of the police,' has protected vice,
gambling and Sunday saloons, if the
offenders were "right" t politically.
Hoyne is a Democrat for re-election.
He is bitterly opposed by the Repub
licans. : ' . .v : .'r ' e."

Washington,Oct. 10. The text ot
the American memorandum replying
to that of the Allied governments re
garding treatment of belligerent sub
marines in neutral ports, is in part,
as follows: "
. , "The Allied governments hold;, that
'submarine vessels must be excluded
from the benefit of the rules hereto
fore accepted under international
law regarding the admission and so
journ of war and merchant vessels in
neutral waters, roadsteads or har
bors; any submarine of a belligerent
that once enters a neutral harbor
must be held there,' and, therefore,
the Allied governments 'warn neutral
submarines attending the navigation
of water3 visited by the submarines
of belligerents.'
"In the opinion of the government
of the United States the Allied pow
ers have not set forth- any circumstan
ces, nor is the government of the
United States at present aware of
any circumstances, concerning the use
of war or merchant submarines which
Pwould render the existing rules of
international law inapplicable to
them.
"In view of this 'fact and of the
notice and warning of the Allied pow
ers announced in their memoranda
under acknowledgment, it is incumb
ent upon the government of the Unit
ed States to notify the governments
of France, Great Britain, Russia and
Japan that, so far as the treatment
of either war or merchant submarines
in American waters is concerned, the
government of the United States re
serves its liberty of action in all re
spects and will treat such vessels as,
in its opinion, becomes the action of a
power which may ;be said to have
taken the first steps toward estab
lishing the principles of neutrality
and which for over a century has
maintained those principles in the
traditional spirit and with the high
sense of impartiality in which they
were conceived." . .

LONGflNDED EOQUENCE
Poets and .1 Peasants and
Pink of Perfection Tigs
Campaigners at Kenne
dy's Mill Wednesday
Neuse on Thursday
At Kennedy's mill Wednesday the
second "meeting" of the Democratic
canvass in Lenoir county was held.
The attendance was large. Most all
of the county nominees were present.
The third jally will be held in Neuse
township Thursday, after which comes
a respite until the 20th. Then will
there be something doing, and most
every day thereafter leaving out Sun
day and legal holidays such as cir
cus days and the like.
At the opening session in Sand Hill
township Tuesday the-finest meeting
over held , in the county was pulled
off, in the belief of Clerk: .of Superior
Court Jesse Heath, whose office is not
to be filled at this election end who
can be depended upon not to let his
enthusiasm run away with him, wheth
er or no. .
iderk Heath says the speakers
Tuesday , did their very best. Indi
vidual times were: -
"Register of Deeds C. W. Pridgen;
one hour.
"Sheriff A. W. Taylor, intermit
tently, 20 or 30 minutes.
"Col. W. D. Pollock, two and one
half hours.
"Chairman of Commissioners Chur
chill, 10 minutes.
"Heath, two minutes."
The statements of some of the
speakers do not coincide with Mr.
Heath's estimates.
Sheriff Taylor was master of cere
monies. He introduced all the speak
ers. While Mr. Pridgen was on the
road still some disftance from the
scene, his fellow official was glorify
ing him and promising that he should
say most excellent things. Colonel
Pollock saw the Register in the dis
tance a mere speck against the
landscape, and beckoned frantically.
The Robert Emmett of modern spell
binding arrived in time to prevent
an embarrassing lull in-the program.
The audience missed their adored
Uncle Johnny Dawson. The good
County Treasurer was absent on ac
count of other matters of importance
to him. Mr. Dawson will be present
at some of the various meeting, it is
hoped. ,,
A barbecue was served. It was no
ordinary barbecue, most all said;
compliments were profously render
ed to the Lenoir county pig, his
heirs and assigns forever.
