statement was read into the records al
leged to have been made by Rhodes to
W,ftHflce, ndmffltlMg ro* girl's
throat with a razor.
The fatal accident as recorded in the
statement was committed possibly in a fit
of jealousy as he was bidding the young
girl goodnight oqtside of her home on
their return home from a motion picture
theatre, as she shatted about other boys
she might see during the Easter holidays.
Rhodes said he was not aware he had

two days later, when he read the news
in the paper. He then surrendered to
the police. Rhodes was remanded for a

(By the Associated Press) ■ >■
New York, April 13. —The cotton mar
ket opened fairly steady today at a de
cline of 8 to 12 points, under a renewal
of tile selling movement which was re
sponsible for last week's decline, and
which was evidently promoted by reports
of showers of rain at a few points in Tex
as over the holidays.
Some traders thought the prospects
were for additional rains in the south
west, but this view was not generally ac
cepted and the market turned steadier
after the call on covering and trade buy
ing around the 24 cent level for May and
October. May sold up from 24.02 to
24.16, or back to last Thursday’s closing
quotation, and October advanced from
24.00 to 24.18, or 10 points net higher.
Trading became quiet after the recovery,
but the market was steady at the end of
the first hour, operators awaiting for
more detailed weather reports from the
southwest.
Cotton futures opened steady. May

‘Frisco” Isn’t Correct.
“Please don’t use ‘Friceo’ for San
Francisco,” writes a reader on the Pa
cific coast. You wouldn’t print ‘Los’
for Los Angeles, ‘San Bardo’ for San
Bernardino, nor ‘Pedro’ for San Pedro.”
The same reader inclosed a letter on the
subject written by a customs official in
the treasury department. “The Term
‘Frico’ as a name for San Francisco,
employed by nonresidents, is objected to
by a majority of the citizens of San
Francisco and is never. used by them.”
says the letter. “The term has been
condemned by the press and civic or
ganizations. and the campaign against
1 the employment thereof has progressed
1 (o such an extent that the St. I-oiiis
‘ 'and San Francisco Railway, commonly
1 known and widely advertised as the
‘Frisco’ line was obliged by popular
opinion to take that term off its adver
tising and office window display in that

largest attendance at an Easter sunrise
service in the history of this city, as
sembled at the home Moravan church

pressive yet held.
Ideal spring wenther added to the de
lightful solemnity' of the- occasion, and
every feature of the Litany was render
ed in delightful accord. The crowd was
in perfect order, evidencing, the one
spirit of desire to celebrate the resur
rection and manifesting a deep interest
in the ceremony.
The service this morning wrs conduct

SAYS DI KE UNIVERSITY
WILL. BE UNSURPASSED
Nothing on American Continent Will
Surpass It, Declares Flowers.
Laurinburg. April 11—Scotland coun
ty alumni of Trinity College and Duke
University got some thrills last night
when Prof. R. 1,. Flowers, for 34 years
a member of the faculty at Trinity and
secretary of the corporation, in a stir
ling address at a banquet at the Meth
odist church, told something of the
glory that he said would be when the
new university plant is built. “In
beauty and in completeness it will not
be surpassed b.v. anything on the Ameri
can continent." said the professor. “The
architects nre at work now and within
CO days we expect to have the work
started. I wish I,could tell you more
about it but we ore not prepared to
make definite announcements yet. I
want to assure you that when our
plans nre carried out you will stand
amazed nt the results. Th§ buildings will
be of stone. We went to Plymouth,
Massachusetts, and secured from the
quarries stone similar to that used in the
Hartness Memorial at Yale, the finest
univefsify bniliWug In' America. We
went to Princeton and secured stone
like that used in the university buildings
there, and then we went to a place not
50 miles from Durham and secured some
mer stone. We built sample falls on the
campus and last week the trustees and
the architects examined this work, and
voted in favor of the North Carolina
stone. I got the State Geologist and we
went to the quarry. I asked him was
there a sufficient quantity for our needs
and was it suitable for building pur
poses. He said there was enough there
to build a wall to Jerusalem and hen
build Duke University and that as a
building material it was unexcelled. I
think it a most wonderful thing that
the money should be given b.v a Nortli
Carolinian, made by utilizing the great
resources of the State and that these
buildings shall be quarried from North
Carolina soil.
“Some of the alumni have expressed
regret at the change of name. And yet
some of you have changed your name for
a great deni less than that. The history
of the institution has just been a suc
cession of names. First Union Institute
in Randolph county, then Normal Ool
loge and Trinity College and now Duke
University.
“But just buildings and financial re
sources alone can not make a great uni
versity. I come to appeal to you for that
loyalty and moral support. Shall he
equal to the task before us shall we be
worthy guardians of the great trust that
is committed to us? Mr. Duke lias not
given money alone but is giving his
genius for construction to this building
program and he will devote the rest of
his life largely to carrying out the work
which is even better than his money.

RULING ON NARCOTICS
BY SUPREME COURT
Court Decides About Doses “Dope” Ad
dlcst May Give to Themselves.
(By the Associated Press)
Washington, April 13.—Physicians in
prescribing narcotics to addicts are not
required to restrict the quantity called
for tty their prescription to small doses
tor strictly .'curative purposes when the
narcotics are to be self-administered by
the addicts, the Supreme Court held to
day in a case from Spokane, Washing
ton, brought by Dr. Chaies O. Ltnder.
In the lower court the government
won on its contention that when the nar
cotics are to be self administered the
physician can only prescribe that quanti
ty which will be curative of the habit,
and not place sufficient narcotics in the
hands of the addict to enable him to be
come a seller of narcotics, or to admin
ister to himself doses larger than neces
sary to effect, a cure.

Stack this afternoon sentenced Robert
Michael and Wiltong Trott each to a
term of nit leqp than ten and not more

appeal b.v both defendants was given in
open court. Appeal bond was fixed at
SIOO and appearance bond at $20,000 for

officers could apprehend the men who
sold the liquor, as they are the men most
responsible tor the death of the young
lady. While he had sincere sympathy
for young Trott and Michael, he had the
protection of society and the majesty
of the law committed to his charge by
his oath of office. “This verdict is to
give notice that the people and court of
North Carolina are determined that the
public highways must be made safe
against drunken automobile drivers,” he
stated.
Bonds for Trott. were promptly made,
and he was on the streets a few minutes
after the adojurnment of court. The
