PBESBYTERHUIS GET
1130.000 ON FIRST
DAY OF CUM
Only a Part of the Members
Have Been Seen—Thought
That Amount Wanted Will
Be Exceeded This Week.
HAD SET $150,000
AS A MINIMUM
It Is Expected That the Struc
ture Will Be One of Most
Beautiful and Imposing in
City of Concord.
The first day's drive in raising the
$1 *>o,ooo for the new First Presbyterian
Church netted the sum of $130,00. ac
cording to announcement made at a meet
ing of the corn mines in charge at the
church auditorium Tuesday night.
Only a part of the membership of 510
members was seen and solicited during
this day's campaign, which makes of
ficials of the church optimistic in raising
the amount set as the minimum. It is
possible, say those who are in touch with
the drive, that the $150,000 will be ex
ceeded in the remaining days of this
week.
Although no plans for the building
have been formulated, it is probable that
the new structure will be one of the
most beautiful and imposing in the city
of Concord. The lot secured on which .
to place the church is the old Martin
Cannon home on North Union street.,
This lot runs on through to Church i
street and use will be made of both the'
Union and Church street entrances.
The plans and specifications will be
fromulated as soon as possible and after
these are suitably drawn, work will very
likely commence immediately. It la
thought that the actual building time
will be approximately a year.
The Presbyterian Church is the third
church in the last two years to raise '
money for a new place of worship. The j
First Baptist Church completed a new
building less than a year ago, and the
Trinity Reformed Church is at present
-building a new church. Several other
congregations in the city are at present
projecting plana for new buildings.

AIRPLANE CARRIER LAUNCHED
The Saratoga First Vessel of Its Kind
to Be Built by l’. S. Navy.
Camden, N. J., April B.—ln the pres
"we of a great ihrong of spectators that
included many high officials cf the Navy
and ether government department*, the
airplane carrier Saratoga, the first ves
sel of its kind to be built for the United
I States Navy, was successfully launched
| here yesterday at the yards of her build
ers. the Now York Shipbuilding Corpo
ration. The christening ceremony was
; performed by Mrs. Curtis I). Wilbur, wife
1 of the secretary of the navy.
When completed, the Saratoga will be
the largest and fastest craft of its kind
in the world and will carry a fleet cf
seventy-two combat, observation and
bombing plaxise. Originally laid down as
one of six battle cruisers authorized un
der the 1016 building program, the ves
sel was converted under the Arms Limi
tation treaty, with her sister ship, the
Lexington, also he launched . in- the near
future, into an aircraft carrier before
her construction was very ’far advanced.
Tl.e first plans called for a heavily anneal
and armored fighting ship to make ap
proximately 35 knots nil hoar .but with
the change in mission to that of aim-aft
carrier, the Saratoga had to be re-de
signed and rebuilt from the waterline
up.
There is no counterpart for this first
American first-line carrier in any other
navy, • although .lapan has under con
struction similar ships of almost as great
size but considerably lower speed. The
British navy is also-wArking out plans
for new carriers which are still regarded
by naval authorities generally as experi
mental to a large extent.
The Saratoga will carry eight eight
inch rifles, the limit of size for ships of
her type under the Arms I,imitation
treaty. She is 888 feet long and will
have a displacement of about 35.000 tons
The ship will be driven by electric mo
tors. the [>ower being generated by steam
turbines of 180.000 horsepower.

DOROTHY ELLINGSON MAY
KNOW HER FATE SOON
Trial to Determine Her Mental Condi
tion Will Be Given To Jury In Near
Future.
(By the Associated Preset
San Francisco. April 8. —The trial to
determine the mental condition of Dor
othy Ellingson neared completion today
with indications it would soon be in the
' hands of the jury.
The court was thrown into confusion
yesterday, when the girl angered at the
efforts of her attorneys to have hed act
judged insane,, jumped up and hurled a
paper cup of water at them shouting,
“you can’t talk about me like that. Wait
until I take the stand and tell about it,
then the truth will come out.”
Counsel for the defense denied rumors
lingson. after a quarrell over the daugh
ter's night life, would take the witness
Siaud. The expert alienists for the pros
ecution testified it was their belief she
was sane.
Girl Takes Stand.
San Francisco. Cal.. April B.—Dorothy
Ellingson, 17 year old slayer of her
mother, took the witnses stand in Super
ior Court today at her trial for sanity.
Judge Louderback satisfied himself that
the defendant understood the nature of
an oath before he allowed her to be
sworn.
Sale of Moonshine Results in Death
A sale of mooshine whisky in violar
tion of the Prohibition Law, in such
quantity as to cause death, in absence
of intent to kill, is not murder, sale not
being an inherently dangerous common
law felony, nor is it involuntary man
slaughter, unless sale is made carelessly
and in such manner as manifests reck
less disregard for human life: but if the
moonshine whisky is dangerous for use
as a beverage, with greater potency
than ordinary whisky, or contains pois
onous ingrdients, seller, having distilled
it himse'.f. would be charge with knowl
edge of its dangerous character and
guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
This is the gist of the opinion in
People v. Pacific, 190 Northwestern lie
porter, 373, wherein a conviction for in
voluntary manslaughter caused by sale
of moonshine was reversed. Mr justice
McDonald, who wrote the opinion ot the
court, said after stating the fncts of
the case:
“We cannot say that the whisky furn
ished by the defendant' was of greater
potency or possessed any more poison
ous ingredients than ordinary intoxica
ting liquor. ’ The uuforunate results
would have been the same if the deceas
ed had overindulged in a like quantity
of ordinary whisky.” •

Seek Re-Election—Doesn’t Anticipate
Opposition.

dacy, Mr. Overman was brief.
He snid: “I would not. be a candidate
for re-election to tlie senate in 1926 if
1 thought, that in any way I might be
disqualified for the best, service. I feel
that I am in better health than six years
ago, and as well qualified, or better, than
ever. I believe that I am’able to render
service \to my people, and that my
record during the past, year goes to
prove this; then why should I not be a
candidate to succeed myself in the sen
ate?
“From letters and pledges I am re
ceiving dai’y from friends throughout
'the state, I do not anticipate any op
position."
Mr. Overman was first elected to the
senate in 1903, and has been constantly
re-elected since that time. He was
elected several times by the legislature

GREENSBORO TO CHARLOTTE
BUS OWNERS TRY IT AGAIN
Owners of Rival Lines m Raleigh For
Another Conference Today.
Raleigh. April 7.—Bus owners are
here again for the further conference to
morrow on the Greensboro-Charlotte
line which is as yet without the sche
dule directed by the corporation com
mission.
The first meeting of commission and
operators ended in a dOgfall. The agree
ment. ns to traveling, hour* was easy
enough, but wtieu it came time to
eliminate some machines, companies
which had a surplus could. not see the
way. What progress has been made by
agreement among the operators is not
yet known, but if the. owners cannot
agree on the elimination of their snr
plua equipment they will be accom
modated by the commission whieh must
put the service into effect..
The Greensboro-High Point schedule
will not worry ns there will be special
assignments for this traffic. For that
matter, the through trip is not giving
anxiety to any ojvners. The bus men be
lieve they can find traffic enough to
justify half hour schedules throughout
the day. In that optimism they do not
vnd all the’r attorneys* and the commis
sion agreed. But they will begin on
that basis. The Greensboro-Charlotte
line is considered as important as the
Raleigh-Greensboro traffic and thus far
the big bus seems to be carrying a pretty
full load on every outgoing trip.
On no other line is the traffic com
parable to that, between Raleigh and
Ohnrlotte, n distance of about 180 miles
and covered almost as quickly as the
trains make it. But there are many
other roads oyer which schedules have
not. yet been fixed.

tives have visited Mrs. Charles Treier of
this city on the assumption she was the
first wife of Gerald Chapman, sentenced
