“When completed the high school
building will bo one.of the most modern
whool plants in the South. It will boa
credit to any oijty, regardless of its size.”
This is the opinion of Ibof. A. S.
Webb, superintendent of the Concord
Public Schools ns expressed yesterday
afternoon to a representative of The
Tribune ns the two were en route to the
building"on a tour of inspection, and it is
ortly fair to say flat his opinion did not
exaggerate facts in the least. The build
ing will he all that can be asked ami
will be a credit to the people of Cdncord
for years to come.
Nothing has been omitted in the con
struction of the building and those ora
tors and sponsors of school bonds, who so
valiantly fought several months ago for
the passage of the school bonds and who
pictured in their orations a master school
plant for Concord, were true prophets.
The bonds made possible for the City
of Concord a school plant sec

convenience and appearance and when
nnother month has passed and the build
ing is thrown open to the public and to
school work education facilities in Con
cord can We placed on a level with those
in any city in the South, certainly so far
as sehool plants are concerned.
Built entirely of brick and containing
no wood except for floors, doors, ward
robes and such necessities, the building
is handsome in appearance. Only the
best' of materials have been used and tije.v
have been constructed after plans of an
architect who Visioned and drtw with
the touch of an artist.
Tlie building is located on a high
knoll, at thfc end of a boulevard that has
its beginning at Spring street and its I
terminal at the building itself. On all j
four sides attractive views arc offered
and the boulevard permits the building
to be seen plainly from I'nion street, at
the intersection of Marsh.,, Overlooking

Miss Mxeey Sings.
A forceful and timely nddrtv.s by Mr.

by Misties Elizabeth Macey and Nell
Herring were the pleasing features at
the meeting rn Friday evening of the
•Kiwanis Cub of Crnoftrd. held at (he
It. m. c. a.
I Several matters of business were
•brought before the meeting before the
'program was rendered. Secretary Cine
read a letter from the secretary of the
Hick try Kiwanis Club, regarding a I
called..meetjng. on Marrii 20th of the
members of the Fifth Distrlef cf Ki
wnnis, and urging us many Kiwnnians
ns can possibly do so. to attend this
meeting, which will be held in Hickory.
International President -Arras. Inter
national Secretary Parker. Governor
.Adams and other officers of Kiwanis
will be present on that occasion. I'pon
motion. President Caleb Swink named
•Tim Shtiih. Brevard Harris and Major-
Will Foil ns a committee to find out
how many of the Concord Kiwnnians
can attend the meeting, and mnkc ar
rangements for the trip.
Secretary Cline niso announced to the
Club that he had' received reservation
blanks for all who expect to attend the
Kiwanis International, Convention,
which will he hold in Denver. Colorado
in June. The On-To Denver committee,
consisting of I,other Hartsell, Jr.. James
P. Cook ami Albert Palmer slated that
it had’ no report to make at the present,
hut would report at. next meeting.
Major Foil pointed out to tho mem
bers a service that Kiwanis can render
to the people of the county, by procur
ing speakers for the various community
e’ttbs at their meetings. lie recommend
ed that the Kiwanis Clubs have a
Speakers Bureau to lock after this mat
ter. and this Bureau wott'd furnish
speakers when requested by the various
community dubs to do so. His motion
wns carried, and President Swink stated
that he will announce later the ntem.-
bers of this Bureau.
The attendance prize was drawn by
Kiwnnian Tola D. Mrtness.
I.uther Hatrsetl, Jr., in charge of the
progrnm.then called on James P. Cook
■ to introduce Mr. Hurley, and Mr. Cook
j responded in his usual pleasing manner.
! Mr. Hurley, a former Concordias, edi
tor of the S*tisbiiry Post and president
of tho Rotary Club of that city, made n
most titne’y address to the Kiwanians.
He pointed out the great strides that
our beloved North Stare has been mak
a . s*tsotog sJew that- tb*
lenders in each community in the state
JWtt their shoulders to the wheel in the
t*sk of rural education, in order to keep
this rapid progress from becoming top
lienvy. Our. State and our cities all do
! pend ott the boys and girls from the
rural communities to furnish them with
I the men nnd women who will handle
i their affairs, and this source of our
manhood and womanhood must be
given the best development within our
power. It js a great load to he carried,
he declnreg. but it will yield a stil!
greater blessing-
The other thing of which our state
and nation is in sore need, continued
Mr. Hurley, is good citizenship. The
present oil scandal, and stories of men
in high places who have betrayed their
trust are only indications of the lack of
this quality. Obedience to the law is at
the foundation of real, old-fashioned
good citizenship. So long as we have the
present inclination to disregard laws
which conflict with our desires, just so
long will we have poor citizens in this
state and nation. The only way to
remedy this growing evil is to educate
our pco|de. awaken their consciousness
and build up an old-fashioned hone'sty
that will stand for what is right, and
do what is right. The “political slack
ers.”' those wjtn do not wish to mix in
“dirty, politics” and who consequently
do not vote, if they would come out in
tfie open and take a firm stand for what
is just ,and upright, could clenn out the
crooked politics in high places.
The meeting on March 21st will be
in charge of G. P. Hcilg.

(By tlie Associated Press.)
Washington, Marc) B.—Senator Cur
tis. of Kansas, assistant Republican I
leader in the Senates! came voluntarily
before the oil committee today to refute
the testimony of Ira jjE. Bennett that he
was the person referred to in the cele
brated "principal" tigegrain.
| The Kansas Senator, the first member
• of the Senate to take the witness stand,
was sworn and immediuteliy began an
oral statement to the committee, similar
to that issued yesterday in denial of sev
eral features of Bennett's testimony,
This telegram sew by Bennett on Jan
uary 29 to his employer, Edward B. Mc-
Lean, publisher of Ihy Washington I’ost.l
J.arnl a central figure iftaiie oil disclosures,
said that Bennett had seen the principal |
and added that there would he "no rock- 1
ing cf the hoot, nnd no resignations" |
hut that it reaction was cx|»cctcd from j

if the committee would not take a state
ment from the publisher instead of call- [
ing him here to testify.
Senator Curtis continued that he sag- ■
grated that they ask some Democrat. Sen- j
ators Fader wood or Robinson. about the [
matter. He added tlqit he aid he could i
speak to Chairman Ldihrbot.
Later the same day Senator Curtis said, !
he saw Senator l uderwood in the Son- 1
ate chamber, and wall informed that a i
subpoena for Mel-can mml been issued, j
So far as l e could recall. Senator Cur-!
tin said, he did not j*ce Bennett again i
until the time Senator Norris. Republi-1
«*vnn. of Nebraska, made a speech men- j
tinning a member of 1 McLean's family. '
That was on January 30. the day after i
the principal telegran* was sent.
On the day of the Norris address. Ben- [
nett came to Curtis .with reference to!
having Senator .NurriAjtitlidi'iiw his re- i

Before that. Senator Hart is testified,
he already had suggested to Senator Nor
ris that the remarks be expunged from
the record. Later be saw Beunctt in the
lobby nnd told him the statements would
be withdrawn. 1
Senator Curtis- flatly denied that lien
nett. had delivered any message to hint
from McLean. He added that lie had
not talked with Bennett about the po
litical aspects of the oil inquiry.
Bennett then was recalled, and asked
if he cared to make any further state
ment.
"Certainly." was his answer.
“Senator Curtis apparently has for
gotten one nnd probably two additouol
conversations I had with him." Bennett
Went on.
Bennett said he did not want to relate
the conversations ns they were somewhat
personal. Pressed as to the conversa- i
tions, he said he would not answer un
less compelled to. as lie did not want to
spread "scandal."
“I hope tve won's have any mystery
about it." said Senator Walsh. “Go on,
tell us about it.”
Bennett again refused unless compelled
to do so, and the committee voted unan
imously that he should answer.
The witness then testified that Sena
tor Curtis had been asked for advice as
to what the policy of The Post should
be with regard to publishing matters con
cerning the oil inquiry.
latter, Bennett testified thnt Senator
Curtis had advised President Coolidge
immediately aftev lie came into office to
ask Attorney General Daugherty to re
sign.
Senator Curtis again, taking the stand
said that in December lie had told Pres
ident Coolidge thnt "I thought lie would
have to look for a new Attorney Gener
al in a few months, as Mr. Daugherty
was sick.’ " ,
The Kansas Senator declared emphat
ically. however, lie had never talked to
Bennett as he bad claimed as to the cott
of the Post in the oil case “either direct
ly or indirectly.”
The committee also beard E. S. Roch
ester, of the Department of Justice who
telegraphed McLean that the committee
was investigating his hank account, and
Francis T. Homer, of Baltimore, who
was quoted in McLean telegTnms as say
j ing the leased wire installed between
| Washington and 2he MeLean cottage in
Palm Beach would give “easy access'
to the white house.
Rochester said his message to the pub
lisher. by whom he was formerly employ
ed, was a personal one thnt no one hud
told him to send it: and. that he got in
formntionon white n it wai based from a
number of newspaper men.
The “easy access message" was ex
plained by Hdmer ns a misinterpretation
of what he had said to one of Mcla'an s
men over the telephone. He denied he
had ever referred to the white house,
when he was pressed as to the meaning
of the number of messages he himself bud
j received from McLean he refused to
1 answer, saying the communications were
privileged as between client and attorney.
Delivering further into the meaning of
the McLean code messages, the committee
made another tinsuccesaful attempt to
i get the “peaches and apricots” cipher
from John F. Major and others of tie
McLean employees.
Major disclosed that McLean and
