W., Jr., un derwent a sftriotts operation in a Phila delphia hospital this morning for the re moval of n gold safety pin which he swallowed Sunday afternoon. The tele gram did not give further particulars, so the exact hour the operation was par formed is not known. The operation is considered n very se rious one by surgeons. Although it re quires but several minutes, the operation makes it necessary for tile surgeon to work among vital organs, and conditions must approach perfectness for it to be performed* successfully. A message front Philadelphia Tuesday, sent soon after Prof. Johnson reached the hospital with his child, stated that the attending surgeon expected to attempt to close the pin before extracting it from the body, blit whether this was done is not known owing to the fact that the incsgagr to Mr. Boger simply brought the glad tidings from, the parents that all is well.

' DICTATORSHIP NOW PMCTICILLY K CHARGE OF GERIUINY The Government in Germany Now Almost Wholly Con trolled by the Military, Say Late Reports.

Reference was made by a Treasury spokesman to the method employed in the case of Austria and tlie suggestion offer ed that possibly a financial dictator would have to be selected, and empowered to di rect the German government fiscal af fairs while that nation is "convalescing” financially.

McKeller Not Surprised at Events. AA’ashingtou, Sept. 27.—Senator Mc- Keller. Democrat, of Tennessee, in a statement today discussing the develop ments in Germany, declared he was not surprised at tlie statement that martial law had been declared in the German re public, for there is open secession and revolution in some of the states. “So far as I could see,” said the Sen ator's statement, “Germany was least prosperous of all European States which I could see. Site was suffering from ene mies within and without. Her criminal industrialists, led by Stinnes, are almost as much her enemies as the French, led by Poincare. Stinnes and his crowd are in absolute control of the' German gov ernment, and have been since the republic began, nnd they are exploiting the Ger *mau people for tlie purpose of filling their pockets.” “Therefore,” he continued, “with at tacks from .enemies within and without, revolution seems unavoidable. My hope is that this revolution will not be com munistic in character.” NEGRO SOCIETIES FIGHTING EXTRADITION *AF M’COY Negro is Wanted in This State For Al leged Killing of A. R. Beard, White Farmer.

It its catalogue of tlie new courses the University has the following to say with i regard to its system of correspondence courses: “Correspondence study lias been de signed to give evefyone who can not at tend the University an opportunity to get some of the advantages of instruc tion and culture which may be a help to him. To those who desire to study for degree or teachers’ certificates, for cul tural or vocational purposes, the corre spondence method offers an excellent op portunity. If is simply a method of learning through the study of text books, and answering in writing the questions asked in each lesson assignment. “It is no longer an experiment but an assured success. This fact is testified to by university instructors and by ear nest and enthusiastic students. Educa tional institutions all over the country now consider correspondence courses a. part of their regular work. * “It is not the purpose of correspond ence to discourage study in residence. On tlie contrary, it is believed that many who thus become interested iu continuing their education will be led to hvuil them selves of residence study.” SAYS NEGRO AVOMEN URGE EXODUS TO THE NORTH Are Behind the Movement of Negroes to Northern Cities, Says Hughes. ‘Hy the JlßMOCloted Pri<M.i Chicago. Sept. 27—That negro women, striving for better conditions for them selves and their husbands, and better educational and other advantages for tlier children, are behind tlie migration of southern negroes from the plantations to tlie northern cities, is tlie conclusion of the Rev. Dr. AA’. A. C. Hughes, su perintendent of the department of negro work of tlie Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Hughes, liiipself of negro blood, lias made a wide study of tlie conditions and renssous causing the southern ne groes to migrate to tlie cities and fac tories of the north. —’■“Behind the initrrstvious.' har(l--\rt>rkiTTg negro man in this present migration, is tlie negro wife and mother,” says Dr. Hughes. “The constant dread that a son or a husband will say ‘too much’ is tlie tiling that is wearing threadbare the nerves of the negro women of the south. Added to tiiis is the lack of opportunity for her child, and she is the driving power of tlie present movement from the south.” "Illinois seems to be tlie favored local ly, according to Dr. Hughes. "More than 100.000 negroes have left 11,000 farms in Georgia alone.” lie declared. “A late survey of negro congregations in rural communities of the Atlanta con ference substantiates tlie estimate that 2,500 negroes have left likes county alone. AA’, AA’. Long, of Clemson Col lege, lias found that 50,000 negroes had left 41 counties. Tlie regions of Mississippi lost 12.000 workmen in the last six months of 1922.” Dr. Hughes has found many eases of team-work on the part of impoverished negroes who wanted to go north. By pooling their resources a number send one or two of their group north, and these in turn send most of their wages back to bring up the remainder.

PEOPLE SHOWING THEIR ATTITUDE In Bavaria Dictator Was Ap pointed and in Mining Dis tricts Workers Go on Strike to Show Their Attitude. Beilin. Sept. 27 (By the Associated Press).—At a. hurriedly called midnight session of the German cabinet, attended by General von Seeckt, the chief of staff, the immediate proclamation of a state of emergency throughout Germany was decided upon, and Minister of Defense Gessler was given executive authority to put into force any military or police measures lie might deem warranted in the circumstances. (This action is con strued in Paris, London and other quar-. ters as virtually placing Germany iu the hands of a military dictator.) The action of the German government was taken when news of the appointment ' of Dr. von Kalir as military dictator of Bavaria was received and the proclama tion issued was intended as an offset to the Bavarian manifesto. Bavaria" action was wholly unexpect ed. and the government leaders were at first at loss to account for it. Although it is not viewed as a studied affront to the Central government, the manner in which it was launched nevertheless was construed as a piece of censorial criti cism of the way in which the Berlin gov ernment had called off passive resistance ill the Ruhr. This view prevailed, despite assertions from Bavaria that her measures were wholly prompted by the suspicious activ ities of the guards of Adolph Hitler, the national socialist leader, and tlieir al lied organizations. Official opinion in Berlin inclines to the belief that Dr. von Kalir will be fully able to cope with the situation in Bavaria that the outbreak there is un likely to extend beyond the Bavarian frontiers, despite the noisy ayitill ion the factors classed as whose” fighting strength is asserted to be gross ly overestimated. The von Ktiilling government in Bava ria is believed here to be able to rely on tlie Bavarian police, and in an emergen cy it would also receive the support of the reiehswehr formations, garrisoned in Bavaria. As a further ally, it is pointed out the Bavarian government may count on the un a rims] support of the socialists and the trade unions which are in a position to proclaim a general strike. It is also as sumed here that Higler will be unable to stampede any appreciable following from the rural sections into joining the move ment. CITY ENGINEER OF SALISBURY RESIGNS Charges That Mayor Hendertite Has Failed to Give Engineering Depart ment Any Support. (Br the Associated -ren.l Salisbury, Sept. 27.—The resignation of Perc.V Bloxain, city engineer, is in the hands of the City Clerk and will be pre sented to the board of aldermen tonight, it was learned today.
