NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Senator Johnson Challenges Coolidge and Others to Di rect Primary Fight. ENTENTE IS SAVED AGAIN By EDWARD W. PlCKARD SENATOR HIKAM JOHNSON of California, avowed candidate for the Republican presidential nomina tion, has started Into make things lively for his rivals, including Presi dent Coolidge. He has warned them that he proposes to make a determined fight In every stale against "hand picked" delegations, and challenged them to meet him in the primaries in a straight-out contest. His statement, issued from Washington, Is supposed to have been the result of unwarrant ed Intimations that Mr. Coolidge would not make a direct campaign for state delegations, relying largely on delegates from states that have no di rect primaries, and on those which would turn to him after their favorite sons have been eliminated from com petition. "I insist that the rank and file of the Republican party have a right to express themselves as to the candi date of the party for the presidency," Senator Johnson said. "I am seeking to have that preference expressed. I shall accept the determination of the voters with equanimity and philosophy. I do not fenr to go before the people upon that which I believe, and no oth er man who Is a candidate should hesitate to have those whose support he asks express themselves on his candiducy. "The members of the party, rather than a few self-constituted bosses, are entitled to select the candidate. We nre going to put it up to the American people. I Insist that all candidates should go before the people on the same principle." Senator Johnson Indicated that his main light would be made In such states as Illinois, Indiana, Michi gan, Nebraska and New Jersey. He Is looked on with considerable fa vor by many Illinois Republicans, hut must contend with the strong follow ing of Coolidge and Lowden. In Indiana Senator James E. Watson says he may become a candidate "If for no other reason than to keep the state's delegation from Hiram John son." While he Is too radical for such men as Watson, the Californian is too con servative to suit the other Senator Johnson, Magnus from Minnesota. That loud-speaker arrived In the na tional capital and told the pop-eyed world that Hiram was a backslider from the cause of progresslvlsm, that the third party movement was grow ing very strong, and that the farmers must be given protection against their enemies, the grain and dairy com panies. He seems to be light about the third party movement. Indeed, a third party was formally organized In Chicago by a group under the leader ship of J. A. H. Hnpklni cf New York and the call for Its convention, to be held May 30, was Issued. Another meeting of progressive gronps was held In Omaha and rep resentatives of fifteen states Indorsed Ford for president and called a con vention at Detroit December 12. II 7TLLIAM (J. McADOO had his first I V test of strength among the Dem ocrats last week In South Dakota, where the county proposal conventions were held. Ford supporters were his chief opponents, and while results are not yet quite definite. It appears that McAdoo won throughout the state by at least two to one. Tha Republicans were fairly divided between Coolidge and Hiram Johnson. Most of the Farmer-Labor conventions named un Instructed delegations to the state convention. ONCE more th Anglo-French entente, periodically smashed by the foreign correspondents, has been MTkd. Notwithstanding his fiery a. id j defiant addresses. Premier Toincarc yielded to the Krltlsh view as to what was best to do In the matters of the return of the former crown prince to Germany and the resumption of the activities of the allies' military con trol commission, and agreed that there should be no threats of sanctions nor anything that might sound like an ultimatum to Germany. The British gave In on some minor points, and thereupon the council of ambassadors sent to Berlin two notes. In one the Germans were told that since Fred erick William already had returned, he might remain as a private citizen, but the government was asked to see that no steps be taken to place him on the throne. It was also warned that It must not permit the former kaiser to return. In the other commu nication Berlin was Informed that "the allied governments have decided that the operations of military control and aeronautic supervision must be re sumed without delay under conditions which will be notified to the German government by the presidents of the commission of military control and the committee of aeronautic guarantee. "Should these operations meet with obstruction from German authorities or German nationals, the allied gov ernments Intend to take measures which may seem to them proper to assure execution of the treaty." It was understood that the Strese mann government would find (he notes from the allies entirely satisfactory. The French press, except the govern ment organs, was not so well pleased with them and the premier was rather severely criticised for his "surrender." l'.ut from his point of view Poincare seems justified. Prime Minister Bald win faces a hard tight In the coming British elections, and one of the chief complaints against him is that lie lias .suffered so many diplomatic defeats at the hands of Poincare. The latter cannot expect that In the event of Baldwin's defeat the new British gov ernment will be even as friendly to his policies as has been the present cabinet. Therefore he could well af ford to give Baldwin the diplomatic victory of last week. After the Brit ish elections the whole question may be reopened. GENERAL DEGOUTTE, commander of the occupation troops in the Ruhr, issued a decree Imposing Im prisonment and fines on those indus trialists who Insisted on closing down their plants, but the magnates evaded arrest and locked out their employees nevertheless. Consequently the French seized mines and other properties and began operating them with the as sistance of the locked-out men and un der French engineers. The allies reached satisfactory agreements with the dye and shoe manufacturers of the Rhlneland. In the Bavarian Palatinate the separatists carried on a kind of guerrilla warfare and took possesslo of several towns. It was said they were aided by the Frent.li In the Pal atinate. This was the cause of a for mal protest from Berlin to the ailles. In Upper Silesia the organized farm ers, who are nationalistic, declared a food boycott against the towns until Stresemann and his cabinet should re sign, immediately the liuiih'ry towns men flocked into the country by thou sands and burned and looted the farm steads. They were fought by the Junkers and their employees and by the police, and there were many fatal ities. The farmers' organizations, it Is stated, could provide plenty of food for all of Germany until next March If they wished, but they will not do so until a nationalistic government Is established. When the relchstag reassembled Chancellor Stresemann said Germany's Internal condition was hopeless and he could see not the slightest prospect of an Improvement. His government, he declared, would relinquish office If the relchstag considered it necessary. It seemed likely he would soon be ac commodated in this respect. DESPITE the misgivings of Senator Lodge, Senator Smoot and some other Republican leaders who fear it may mean disaster for their party, President Coolidge has d"clded to sup port Secretary Meilon's tax reduction program boldly and unreservedly. With a revenue surplus piling up It Is he duty of the g 'vernmcr.t to reduce the tax burden, tht President holds, and be Is confident that the radicals will be unable to put any extreme measure through congress. His atti tude toward soldier bonus legislation has not been disclosed, hut he probably will follow the example of President Harding and Insist that If a bonus bill be passed, a means for financing It be provided by congress. JC. WALTON, suspended governor of Oklahoma, was found guilty of eleven of the sixteen charges pr sented to the senate court of Impeach ment and for corruption In office, mornl turpitude, neglect of duty and general incompetence was removed from his office. The vote was 41 to 0, Walton's one consistent supporter be ing absent. Six of the original charges were dismissed. No evidence for the defense was presented, for Walton had withdrawn his counsel after announc ing that he could not stand the "hu miliation of an unfair trial." His at torneys, however, Intend to try tti carry the case to the Supreme court of the I'nited States. A grand jury in Oklainoha City considered the evi dence on which the deposed governor was convicted and indicted him for criminal offenses. Dll. FREDERICK A. COOK, the Arctic explorer who gained no toriety by his bogus "discovery" of the North Pole years ago, and who ef late has been a spectacular dealer in oil stocks, has come to the end of his rope. Tried before Federal Judge Kil lits in Forth Worth, Tex., for misuse of the mails in connection with the operations of the Petroleum Produc ers' association, of which he was the solo trustee, he was found guilty and sentenced to fourteen years and nine months In prison and fined $12,000. Nineteen co-defendants were also found guilty. Judge Killlts in passing sentence denounced Cook scathingly for robbing widows and orphans, con cluding: "You ought to be paraded as a practical warning lu every state where you have sold stock." SECRETARY OF COMMERCE HOOVER says the government is not considering any plan for the relief of the hungry people In Germany, though several persons have talked of the matter with the President. As to whether relief Is needed, Mr. Hoover says the breakdown In distribution, coupled with considerable unemploy ment, has caused suffering In the poor districts. Uncertainty of business life has multiplied many times, but Ger many as u whole is still a powerful country In business, agriculture, and trade. Purchases by Germany from the United States In the first six months of 1923 aggregated more than $1-13,000,000, or about 570,000,000 gold marks. The Industrial plan of Ger many Is better than It was before the war, and there Is even danger that it Is overdeveloped. Crops throughout Germany nre reported generally good, In some Instances being the best for fifteen years or more. Major General Allen's committee for relief of hungry German children Is all ready to open Its campaign for the col lection of funds from American citi zen' snd It announced that at least $10,000,000 will be needed The Amer ican Friends service committee will ad minister the fund and the German gov ernment will kindly attend to the in surance, warehouse and other over head charges. FRIENDS of Corea In America, who are organized, have filed with Sec retary of State Hughes a formal protest ngalnst the alleged murder of about WX) Coreans during the great earth quake and fire In Tokyo and Yoko hama. Dr. Floyd W. Thompklns, presi dent of the society, who signed the pro test, declared an eyewitness saw 250 Coreans "bound hand and foot, placed on an old Junk, covered with oil and burned alive." What Secretary Hughes can do about it is not Indicated. KINO ALFONSO. Queen Victoria and Dictator Prlmo Rivera of Spain all went to Italy last week and were received by King Victor Em manuel and Premier Mussolini with Impressive ceremony. It was said military alliance between the two countries would be signed to balance the alliance between France and Jugoslavia. COMMISSION 10 DIGEST BRIEFS NO FURTHER HEARINGS ON STATE OWNED STEAMSHIP LINES. m REPORT NEXT JANUARY Southeport and Wil.nington Present Supplementary Briefs For Desig nation as Port. Raleigh. After giving Wilu ngton. Southport and Manteo one final inning with sup plemeHAl briefs, the State Water and Steamship Commission retired behind closed doors into executive session to begin la aigest the thousands of p.iges of data that have been collected dur ing the past eight months. No more delegations will he heard, and little additional research will be undertaken. The commission, accord ing to Chairman R. M. Miller, Jr., has about aR that it ran digest, and prob ably more. It has come now to the point In its investigations that it must think of its final report to the Gover nor and Council of Slate, and the next teveral weeks will be given over to that work. No member of the Commission could foretell what the report is going to be like, nor what recommendations it will make. Mr. Miller said that eight months had been spent in collecting information and that six weeks for digestion must be given before the report will begin to take form. Out lines of the work of annotation of data I will be made and various phases of the work given to each member. Every town touched by water con nections has had a proposal to make to the Comimssion for the establish ment of a line of Bhips, the erection of State owned docks, and rail con nections that would necessitate the revisions of the freight tariffs through out the State. Southport has offered the most impressive brief that has been brought forward in the way of concrete suggestions. It will probably be January 1, 1324, or later before the final report to the Governor is niafle. Foreign Corporation to Pay Taxes. Foreign stock tax exemption, under the act or the 102,1 legislature .applies to individuals but not to corporations, according to a ruling made by Com missioner of Revnue R. A. Doughton, and approved by Assistant Attorney General Frank Nash. The questiun as to corporations was raised by the First National bank of Durham, on stock in the Champioii Fibre company, a corporation charter ed in Ohio, but having mills at Can ton, In this state. The ruling affects the bank to the extent of about $1,300 in taxes, and J. F. Glass, treasurer of the Durham corporation, is quoted as having said that he proposes to pay the sum under protest. Under the old statute, which was superceded by the act of 1923, stock was exempted in corporations owning more than two-thirds of their property in North Carolina and paying all their taxes here. Divorces Double in Seven Years. North Carolina averages one divorce for every 1C.8 marriages, against one divorce for every thirty-two in 1916. according to the Department of Rural Social Economics of the University of North Carolina. There were 688 di vorces granted In North Carolina in 1916, and 1,317, an increase of 100 per cent in divorces, while total marriages increased only 3.5 per cent. The di vorce menace is growing at a rapid pace in this state. Except for South Carolina, which grants no divorces, North Carolina made the best show ing of all states In 1916. Take Part In Livestock Meeting. Members of the animal Industry division of the North Carolina State college and the department of agricul ture will take a prominent part In the livestock discussions and meetings at the annual convention of the Southern Agricultural Workers association at Blrmlnghom, Ala., January 10, 11 and 12, accord!r.5 to R S rnrtis, chief of the animal industry division.

"North Carolina has been blessed with a year of great prosperity," Gov ernor Morrison writes in his Thanks giving proclamation. He implores tha people, in giving thanks for thu many blessings ,to particularly remem ber by acts of generosity and help fulness the orphan and the weak and the defective of every class. The proclamation reads: "North Carolina has been blessed with a year of great prosperity in material things. On the farm, in the factory and in every line of business, God has generously rewarded the labors of our people. "We have been led by God to make a liberal use of our material prosper ity for fhe benefit of the defective anil for improved educational oppor tunities for our children. "Now, therefore: "I, Cameron .Morrison, governor of North Carolina, following the previous action of the President of the I'nited States, in his proclamation of Novem ber fi, 1112". do hereby proclaim and set apart Thursday, November 2J, 19211, a "Thanksgiving day," "and call upon our people to observe the day by assembling in their re spective places of worship and giving thanks to Almighty God for His many mercies and blessings to the people of the United States, and of this state, and pray for Divine guidance in the future. .May 1 implore the people of strength on Thanksgiving day to re member the orphan, and the defective of every class by some act of gener osity and helpfulness. "Done in the city of Raleigh on this the fifteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three, and in the one hundred and forty-eight year of our American independence." Will Beautify Highways. For the purpose of beanltfying North Carolina highways, so that the territory through which the roa.la pass may have a pleasing effect upon motorists, a committee of engineers, foresters, and landscape garilners, drawn from the various state depart ments has been organized and will work on plans to plant trees, shrub bery, etc., and in other ways appeel to the aesthetic sensibilities of the motorist, according to a statement Is sued here by Leslie R. Ames, assist ant to Frank Page, chairman of the highway commission. Mr. Ames is the chairman of the committee, which will he known as the landscape com mittee. "There is a great public Interest in the beauty of North Carolina high ways," reads the statement in part. "They have become, as .it were, tho formal entrance to the commonwealth. Through the eyes of the motorists we are being judged. This comment has everywhere stimulated an itnerest and led to active work in the Improve ment of surroundings. "The highway commission's prob lem is not building roads. This is simple. To create a sentiment of in terest that will provide ample funds for the upkeep of these roads Is a much more difficult problem. "The public interest in improving the highways from the aesthetic side is a step in the desired direction. To stimulate and foster this Itnerest a committee has been appointed to serve the public without additional burden to the taxpayers. "It is impossible at this time to devote the funds of the commission to purely ornamental work. Their problem is to give to North Carolina the greatest mileage of good roads at the least cost possible. This means rigid economy. Unsightly places have been left for lack of funds to obliter ate them." The statement declares that "com munities," individuals, and associa tions are manifesting and Interest and willingness to secure funds for the embellishment of roadsides and it is to aid these groups, furnish exeprt ad vice, prepare plans, secure planting material of the proper kind at reason able cost and to plant and care for this material that the committee has been seelcted." Certain sections of the roads will be taken Into hand at once, according to plans now being formulated, and will be planted. The committee will des ignate the sections for experimental purposes and endeavor to secure the cooperation and aid of the communi ties through which the roads pass In financing the project with a view to demonstrating the desirability of landscaping the roadways. Accurate coet figures will be kept and detailed plans made In order that ower com munities may be able to determine the exact amount of money necessary for the work. Work which the committee will do in various sections of the state will of course depend upon the aid received from the various communities. Be cause there is no appropriation for any such purpose it will be necessary to enlist the financial aid of the va rious cities and towns If the work is to be accomplished. Dalton Gets Sixty Days Respite. Hearing before the Governor on the petition for the commutation of the death sentence against Jerry Dal ton convicted of the murder of his sweetheart and rival scheduled was postponed when Governor Morrison gave Dalton another sixty day respite. His execution date Is now set for Jan uary 22. Attorneys for Dalton had been noti fied to be present and the mother, sis ters and brothers of Dalton wers to be on hand for the hearing.
