[ Raleigh, May 26.—Frictional differ ences plus a deal of polities and ac companying unpleasantness may force the resignation of Dr. B. W. Kilgore as dean of agriculture at State eollege when the institution’s board of trustees meets June 8, it was indicted today by inquiries concerning a report, which es caped for publication over the protest of President E. C. Brooks, thar Dr. Kil gore would soon leave the service of the state after a tenure of 25 years. "It is all news to me," Dr. kilgore was quoted this afternoon as stating. Dr. Brooks, who betook himself to local newspaper offices yesterday after noon to keep the report out of the papers, was away from the city today in Gastonia for a speech, and could not be reached for a stutemeut. Unless there is a change jn the line up of expected developments, however, it is considered quite likely thnt Dr. Kil gore will submit his resignation to the State college trustees, and then join the Cotton Growers’ Co-operative Associa tion for full rime service. The anticipated "skake np" has been brewing ever sinee Dr. Brooks left the superintendeney of public instruction to head state college. In the reorganization of the college and agricultural extension service which followed Dr. Brooks as sumption of the presideney, Dr. Kilgore became dean of agriculture and director of agricultural extensioin. Dr. Brooks and his denn have been unable to get along with any consider able degree of harmony. It. is now de clared the situation was described ns somewhat in the nature of two irresirt able objects colliding. Dr. Brooks, it was suggested, lmd forced all opposition to submit to his will in the realm of education, but in agriculture lie ran against a man who had worked as ef fectively in his line as the educator had in his. This much is a fact, that Dr. Kilgore has served the state as valiantly and successfully in its agricultural de velopment as Dr. Brooks lias in the pro motion of the causes of education. Again, some of the trustees nro represented as hostile to Dr. Kilgore. The board has a good many members who are quite interested in politics. Dr. Gilgore has played far away from poli tics in agricultural work. The agricultural dean has offered his resignation once or twice before, it was reported, but the college did not see fit at the time to accept it. Dr. Kilgore came with the state a quarter of a century or more ago as state chemist. He has been the prime mover in agricultural extension work, in which the state stands among the top states of the union. The success of the work has been largely credited to his powerful ability as an organizer. North Carolina t)o Boost Coin Sale. Charlotte, X: C.. May 27.— Former Governor Cameron Morrison has former- Ily accepted the chairmanship of the Confederate Memorial Coin Sale cam paign in th(F State of North Carolina, Governor Morrison is preparing to or ganize his state, county by county and city by city. In accepting the chairmanship. Gover nor Morrison says that the coin sale was and is of supreme importance at this time.

I be 'lieve he said “that such practical dif ferences that may from time to time | arise concerning the construction of the memorial will all of them be made in [efficiency and in a spirit of fairness to !the entire south. “But if the memorial coin distribu tion were to be defeated as a result of differences concerning the monument all subsequent efforts would cease to be a ! matter of moment for a generation at least “ The fact that the memorial will be carved ond that the nation through the agency of Congress has minted the coins I to memorialize the heroism of the South’s leaders should make us all .Join in the distribution of the coins. Tjiey will be a great legacy, too, and I be lieve that every family in the South will I want one or’ more of these coins.” - Ship Ablaze at Sea.

THE COTTON MARKET j Comparatively Quiet Early Today, and After Opening at Decline Held Steady, (ty the Associated Press) New York. May 27. —The cotton mar ket was comparatively quiet again early today but after opening at a decline of 6 to 8 points in response to relatively easy Liverpool cables and reports of warmer weather in the South held gen- f ei-ally steady. Apprehensions that the weekly report of the weather bureau would emphasize unfavorably the conditions of the past week probably led to covering in connec tion with rather an unfavorable monthly review of crop prospects of crops in the eastern belt due to cold nights and a heavy emergenc of boll weevil. October sold up from 22.50 to 22 5(5 and the market Was within two or three points of yesterday's closing quotation at the end of the first hour. Cotton futures opened barealy steady.

I Washington, May 27.—Efforts of the Supreme Court to catch up with its dock et are meeting with no success. The outlook now is that \yhen the current term ends next month there will be more cases on the docket than were pending ewhen the eourt met |r ;t October. ! As far back as 18t»l Congress recog nized the need of protecting the court from an overburden of litigation. That year 1,800 cases had been placed on the docket and Congress created the Circuit Court of Appeals to destrict lie field of cases which could be brought to the Supreme Court for review. This measure proved effective for sev eral years, reducing the number of cases filed about one-half, but in 1922 the number of cases docketed jumped to 1.128 and in the present term 1,261 cases already have been field. This is the highest number reached in the last thirty-four years. ROWAN COW ENJOYED VERY COSTLY RATIONS Ate *l2O in Greenbacks Which Had Been Left in Coat Pocket by John VV. Shu ping.

New York. May 27 (By the Associated Press).—Today is the sixth since the Aimindsen-Ellsworth Polar flying expe dition hopped off for the Pole and the whereabouts of the fliers remained as much a mystery as ever. When their two planes disappeared from view of those at Kings Bay, Spitz bergen, all communication from them ceased as Capt. Amundsen went without wireless equipment so as to carry as much motor fuel as possible. As to what has befallen the party since there are several possibilities, but the truth can be only a matter of conjec ture. Having reached the Pole or vicinity the explorers may be spending some time in verifying their positions and making the necessary records to prove their feat in the scientific world. Again, they may have discovered a new land in the Arctic and be engaged at pres ent. in exploring it. Another theory, and this is put for ward by some who know the mettle of the discoverer of the South Pole, is' that he knew it would be impossible to fly back from the Pole because of the damage likely to be suffered by the planes on landing, that the outward trip was made without mishap, and the members of the expedition, equipped with their hunting rifles, sleeping bags, folding boats and otlier aids, now are on their way back on foot across the Ice, which covers the northern seas. The last possibility, and one which ad mirers of the adventurers hesitate to en visage. is that disaster lias befallen the expedition, that one or both of the planes have crashed, and that few or perhaps none of the explorers now survive.

Ellis Doubts Amundsen Expected to Fly Back. London. May 27.—('apt. Gib Ellis, the airmail who last year piloted the Oxford expedition to within a few hun dred miles of the Pole, is convinced Capt. Roald Amundsen reached his ob- ' jective. | “I believe Amundsen reached the North Pole, abandoned his planes, and is now making his way back afoot across the desert of ice," Capt. Ellis said in an interview today. "I don’t think lie can ever have seriously hoped to return by air. The only real landing place for his flying boats are lanes of water in ice—• gaps in the huge ice field, as broad as a wide stregto' but these are treacherous thiugs. A 'Hjiift in the wind would close them up in half an hour, and the air planes would be crushed to pulp by the ice. “Amundsen, with his two planes, must come down in one of those lanes on the roof of the world. He must have landed his food anil scientific instru ments and then abandoned the two machines. At this moment he is prob ably on his three months’ journey back across 500 miles of dangerous ice toward Spitzbcrgen. “But there is plenty of food. His party have guns with them, with which they can kill the wild things of the Arctic.” Wants Criminal Code Enforced.
