MILLER INSISTS HE
QUOTED PRESIDENT
WITHOUT UN ERROR
Miller Tells Muscle Shoals
Committee Again That He
Did Not Misquote Presi
dent in'Message.
FORD THROUGH
WITH COMMITTEE
Tells Chairman Norris He
Will Not Be Represented
Further at the Hearing
Being Conducted.
(By the Aaiorlatnl Preaa.)
Washington, May 7.-—. lamps Martin
Miller, who in a telegram quoted Presi
dent Coolidge as saying he was trying
to deliver Muscle Shoals ro Henry Ford,
told the Senate Agriculture Committee
today that lie had “correctly and truth
fully stated the facts" in the message
which he sent to Ford’s secretary, wih
in 25 minutes after an interview with
the President.
The I “resident. Miller said, did not de
ny that the interview had taken place.
Mr. Coolidge, he insisted, brought up the
subject of Muscle Shoals.
"The branding of the telegram as a
lie is a gross political dissemination." le
, said.
A Miller told the committee that the gov
ernment had nno secret service or prop
aganda organization greater than that of
Ford’s.
Before Miller took the stand, Chair
man Norris inserted in the record the
letter sent to the committee by Henry
Ford in which the manufacturer said
that he would not be represented further
before the committee, giving as one of his
reasons "the recent efforts of Chairman
Norris to reflect upon the integrity of the
President of the United States in con
nection with ' our offer for Muscle
Shoals."
At the same time the chairman issued
a statement declaring that Ford's letter
was an "attempt to shift the attention
of the public from the real question at
issue,” and adding that he would con
tinue his course in trying to "save for
the people the valuable inheritance of our
national resources.”

KLAN CANDIDATE IS
LEADING IN INDIANA
Interest There Centers in Race forth"
Republican Giihernatonrial Nomina- 1
tion.
Indianapolis, May 7 (By the Associat
ed Press).—President Coolidge’s walk
away victor over Senator Hiram John
son in the Republican primary, giving
him 33 more votes in the national con
vention almost faded from the sight of
political observers today with interest
centered in the contest for tile Republi
can nomination for governor .which ac
centuated the Ku Klnx Khiu issue. Re
lated returns from the balloting through
out Indiana yesterday failed to change
the early standings.
Ed. Jackson, secretary of state, run
ning with the Kn Klnx Klan support,
had far outstripped his live opponents
for the gubernatorial nomination, and i
in doing so apparently had gained a ma
jority vote, making his selection bind
ing on the state convention that meets
late this month.
■ In the Democratic contests interest
also centered in the nominee for gover
nor, and while Dr. Carleton R. McCul
loch who headed the state ticket at the
last election, led in the eight-man con
gest, it was soou apparent that lie would
fail of a majority vote, leaving the nomi
nation to the state convention.
No votes were cast by the Democrats
on a presidential preference.

CONCORD, N. C„ WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1924
! WHICH ARE YOU?
i
Fnr several years the people of Concord have realized
that the city needs a modern hotel. The present hotel fa
cilities have gwen the city a black-eye and the cry has been I
loud and long “Build a Modern Hotel."
The opportunity to get the hotel is before the people
now. The realty company which bought the St- Cloud Ho
tel property several months ago is in position now to give
the city a hotel in keeping with the city’s needs. As soon
as tiie company can sell enough stock in the new hotel to
carry the project work on the structure will be started.
You are thus given an opportunity to assist in giving
the city what it needs more titan anything else. The fate of
the new hostelry rests with the people.*
It lias already been learned that some o| the people
who did the most talking about the need of thfc hotel have
1 been among the first to turn down the canvassers when giv
en an opportunity to purchase some of the hot® stock. Do
j you belong to that class?
Are you a “talker" or a “doer"? Are yott the kind of
citizen that denounces the present facilities and yet refuses
to assist in the work of getting something better ? Are you
i the kind of citizen that is willing to sit back while the other
men and women build a greater Concord?

RUSSIAN EXII.ES HEAR
RED REGIME IS FAILING
Moscow Dispaiches to Paris Colony Say
Change in Power Is Coming.
Paris. May 6.—Exiled Russians living
in Paris are greatly cheered by reports
arriving almost daily from Moscow of an
impending change. The struggle for/
power between rhe Stalin triumvirate. i
/•lulling also Kametteff and - 1 ’ ’
the modern groups ir xAbt®**
in the opinion of RV tit*? -eriicfioh
here, who believe i 11.,, me present reg
ime is toppling and that even a slight
push would overthrow it. The hopes of
both Monarchists and Liberals seem to
unite upon Grand Dube Nicholas Nieho
laievifeh. second cousin of the former
Emperor, and once in. command of the
| Russian armies.
I Tiie grand Duke is living quietly in a
small country house some 20 miles from
I Paris, near C’hoisy-l.e-Roi.
"1 never until now have received a
representative of the press." s-ai/l lie to
a correspondent of the Associated Press
in conversation today. "However, i
make on this occasion an exception -to
this rule for two reasons—First, because
my name has been frequently used of late
and opinions and views have been attrib
uted to me to which I am entirely strange,
anil, second, because 1 am glad to sec in
you the representative of a nation whose
relations toward Russia cannot fail to
evoke in the Russian people a sense of
the deepest gratitude. Russian patriots
feel grateful to America and Iter govern
ment for tie help which they have ex
tended to Russia during the last terrible
famine anil are still giving to Russian
emigrants and especially our young stu
dents.”
Gives His Views.
The Grand Duke made various inquir
ies concerning the newspapers of North
and South America, and niton being ask
ed to review the present situation in Rus
sia remarked:
"The Russian problem is so wide and
so intricate that it is impossible to em
brace it as a whole iu a single conversa
tion. I can give you my views on its
principal points. IVhat is going on in
Russia is well known ro all who take a
real interest in the subject of arbitrary
dealings, reign of terror, lawlessless, vio
lence, total disregard for private prop
erty. exactions and famine. All things
holy have been reviled: gi'eat numbers
of bishops, priests and monks have been
put to death and others exiled in most
appalling conditions. Those who still re
main are subjected to cruel persecutions,
and every moment run the risk of shar
ing the same fate.
“The Bolshevists are attempting to de
stroy the soul of the people; they want
to uproot all moral and religious foun
dations. However, neither persecutions
nor a frantic propaganda of godlessness
has been able to tear out from their
religious vitality 5s sine to Be manifest
ed sooner or later through the moral
bankruptcy of the Communistic power
and prove once more the people's fidelity
to the Orthodox Church. Russia has liv
ed by faith and faith will save her.”
All Creeds Persecuted.
“The Orthodox Church is not the only
noe which is persecuted by the Bolshe
vists.” he continued. "So are all other
creeds, and all those who have any relig
ion. War is being waged against God."
At another moment the Grand Duke
remarked: "With regard to the material
side of life the usurpers of power have
succeeded in bringing our immensely rich
country to a state of frightful destruc
tion. It is very difficult to speak of the
future and much more so to predict it.
One thing is clear, to be saved from de
struction Russia and her many millions
must be liberated from Communistic rule.
Wo cannot know either the time or tiie
conditions under which this long-hoped
for liberation will be achieved.
“Living in foreign lands we must not
decide for the Russian people the funda
mental questions of Russia’s political
constitution: they can be resolved only
on Russian soil and in agreement with
the aspirations of the Russian people.
The new era after the downfall of the
Communistic power must begin by pacifi
cation and redemption from the state of
ruin and degradation to which it has
been reduced."
The Grand Duke had on a table at his
side letters and reports just arrived from
Russia, to which he made casual allusion,
and continued :
Hatred Accumulated.
"Incalculable hatred and exasperation
have accumulated timing these troubled
times. How many young people have
been completely demoralized in every re
spect ! Godlessness. corruption and
the absence/of any principle, without
which no state can exist, are indications
of the present time. Peace, legality and
order must take the place of arbitrary
rule; those who have (been reduced to
despair by terrible sufferings must be al
lowed to breathe freely anti made to feel
that they are really free: constructive
4 work ill common must follow the period
i of destruction. This work must unite all
1 the living forces of the country, all those
i to whom their country's welfare is in
l finitely more precious than personal in
[ tcrests.
I "At the present time Russia is govern-
I ed by one party in behalf of a class and
j international interests. Its place must
I be taken by a national non-party 'lov-
I ernment free fixim class interests. This
j Government must be firm and strong and
I at the same time just and enlightened. It
' must become the guardian of legality and
the sacred rights of personal and civil
1 liberty.
| “The cessation of class and national
! hatred, the prevention of violence and ev
-1 ery kind of lawlessness and the right of
| free development of national life to the
i peoples who compose the Russian State
i —such are the fundamental principles
| upon which must be based the regenera
i tion of Russia.”

The Necessity of Nutrition.
Atlanta. May 7.—Fleet feet, bowed
legs and ankles, crippled digestions, had
teeth, defective poses and throats, and
similar conditions are evidence of faul
ty nutrition, according t> a statement
made by Miss Flora Rose of the School
of Motne Economics at Cornell Univer
sity before the 20th annanl meeting of
the National Tuberculosis Assocmtion
here today. Miss Rose pointed put
that only are such diseases .as serious
troubles of the eye, rickets, beri-beri,
scurvy and goitre immediately attribut
able to nutrition defects or rather lo
the lack of certain food elements that
the individual should have, but in ad
dition to these there are many other
conditions that are brought about by
improper food habits,
“The inadequately fed child,” says
Miss Rose, “develops into a handicapped
adult. Numbers of six-year molars are
decayed as much because of poor build
ing material as because of poor care.
Hand in liana with the doctor and the
nurse who are working for better health
in the community must go the expert
nutritionist, each working co-operatively
with the other to secure the best bene
fits of health education .for the individu
al.''
“Slow and sure" is all right if you’re
quite sure you're not too slow.
