N BE HI! BfLHW ATTORNEY GENERAL TO RULE ON WHETHER DIRECTORS ARE bank OFFICIALS. Raleigh. Following an informal ruling that the 1925 statute placing dractic restric tions around loans made to "officers and employes" of State banks applies to directors of such institutions, Chief Bank Examiner Clarence Latham has called for an official decision of the subject and Attorney General Dennis G. Brummitt and Assistant Attorney General Frank Nash now have the mat ter under consideration preparatory to writing a formal opinion. The new law, of which Senator T. L. Johnson, of Robeson, was the auth or, wag designer! to place the same re strictions that govern national banks around the State banks, and it is said that under the federal law directors are not regarded as officers and when the matter was under consideration in the General Assembly it was stated in committee and on the floor that direc tors would not be affected. The law stipulates that loans shall be made to "officers and employes" only after a specific authority has beep granted by the board of directors in each case and that the board of direc tors shall pass upon the sufficiency of the security. The Supreme Court has time and again ruled ?hat the "intent" of the legislature shall be determined solely by the language of the statute rather than what was said about it by indi vidual legislators in debate of else where. The general banking act of 1921 gires color to both views. One of the subdivisions Of the act is entitled, "Officers and Directors," which would indicate that they are regarded as be ing in separate categories. However, the act itself refers to the position of director as an "oflfce." The act pre scribes how a director shall qualify to hold "office" and declares that under certain conditions a director shall for feit his "office" and the other direc tors shall declare the "office vacated. Dry Agents Make Big Hauls. Federal officers operating in North Carolina captured during the month of March, 77 distilleries and 161 stills, according to a report being forwarded to Washington by A. B. Coltrane, Fed eral prohibition director for North Carolina, with headquarters in Salis bury. In addition to the stills 1,458 gallons of intoxicating licfuors were taken and 251,420 gallons of mash. Ten automo biles, six mules, three wagons and a gasoline engine were also among the property captured in raids. Estimated \alue of property seized and destroyed was $95,395 and that taken and not de stroyed was placed at $2,803. Arrests made numbered 101 and prosecutions returned total 246." ppoult Pay Nearly Billion Insurance. placed in 1924 and con tinued in force from the previous year by North Carolinians totalled $83?, 902,718.46. an increase of $91,426. 927.11, representing 1,669,452 policies of all classes, figures made public by State Insurance Commissioner Stacey Wade show. The figures indicate that every class of Insurance increased its number of policy holders and its total face value of policies. The outstanding fact disclosed by the report is the leadership of the Jef ferson Standard Life Insurance Oom pany of Greensboro over all state and out of state companies in writLng of Aw policies. The old line companies which were in operation before the Jefferson Standard existed are far out stripped by the; Greensboro concern which held the lead it has established in North Carolina during the previous | years. Total new insurance written by | the Greensboro concern amounted to ' $15^81,800, its nearest competitor be ing the Metropolitan Life with $11. 300,339. The total amount of insurance of all classes written, the report shows, was $209,568,409.84 representing 722,961 policies. This compared with $191, 404,950.79 worth of insurance written in the State durijig 1923. The balance of the 1924 total of insurance placed amounting to $836,902,718.46 was in policies renewed.

The Dixie Motor Coach Line, of Charlotte, was given five instead of three round trips from Charlotte to Greensboro and the Piedmont Stage Line and Kirk's Auto Bus Service were reduced from eight trips each to six and seven, respectively, in the order of the North Carolina Corporation Commis sion making temporary allocation of schedules, which was announced. Kirk's Service is given in addition two round trips daily from Salisbury to Charlotte. ISO KILLED WHEN CASUALTY LIST EXPECTED TO GO MUCH HIGHER; INJURED IN CRITICAL CONDITION. Sofia, Bulgaria.?The toll of dead from the explosion of a bomb in the roof of the Sveti Krai cathedral whil funeral services were in progress for General Georgheiff, who was slain in the] streets ?* Sofia, stood at 150 but the figure likely will increase as many of the injured are in a critical con dition. Hospitals and clubs are crowded with the injured, some of them so bad ly hurt as to be almost unrecognizable. It has been impossible to identify some of the dead, and they have been placed in a mortuary chapel. . With the execption of Minister of Interior Rossef, all the members of the cabinet, who were present at the funeral services, escaped with only slight injuries. 'They owe their lives to the fact that the infernal machine was concealed in the roof, near the side of the cathedral, while they and the other prominent persons were as sembled around the catafalque in the renter of the edifice, a detail which had been overlooked by the perpe trators of the outrage. Among the dead are the mayor of Sofia, M. Paskalef, former Minister of War General Davidof, Prefect of Po lice Klssof, M. Medelechef, prefect of the department in which Sofia is situ ated, and Deputies Colon, Chief Rat chef and Lekarski. It ifl assumption of the police that the agragro-communists, to whom the authorities attribute the outrage, in as sassinating General Georgheiff, count ed upon the assembling at the funeral of all the prominent persons attachedi to the exitsing regime, thus affording an opportunity for wiping them all out at one time. The counted on the confusion in which the kingdom would be plunged, according to the police, to facilitate the installation of a soviet regime in line with the terrorist plan' of-cam paign prepared by the communists and emissaries of the Third Internationale, recently discovered by the police, and under which the revolution was to break out on April 15. In pursuance of their campaign in which the cathedral bombing was the culminating outrage, the authorities declare the communists, within a brief period assassinated 41 police officers and men, and 20 mayors, priests and schoolmasters. Pays Fares For Rides After 20 Years. Greensboro, N. C.?A man whose conscience has been aching for 20 years had it eased by paying fcere for two rides on freight trains. He used side door Pullmans of the Southern Railway to travel from Greensboro to High Point in 1901 but twenty years was as long as he could stand the in ner gnawing so he appeared in the up town ticket office here and asked the fare from Norfolk to Raleigh. The ticket agent asked him when he want ed to make the trip and he said it had been made twenty years ago and that hei wanted to "make this right." He paid for the Greensboro-High Point trip, too. Fares were cheaper then, he was told, and he was due a refund, but he asked the ticket agent to keep the excess for interest. / It was the first time in the^agents experience that anybody ever paid to Balve his conscience.
