ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXV Severe Electrical and Wind Storm Did Damage In City; No One Was Seriously Hurt STORM CAME WITH MUCH SUDDENNESS Huge Trees Were Uproot ed and Thrown Across Streets, Breaking Power and Telephone Lines. LIGHTNINGHIT SEVERAL PLACES Little Damage From This Source.—Tree Crashed Into the Porch of G. S. Kluttz Home. An electrical and wind storm, com ing on the heels of the terrific heat wave of the past severnl days, swept over Concord Inst night, leaving brok en trees, disabled telephone and pow er lines, damaged houses and littered streets as an evidence of its strength. The storm came with such stealthy suddenness that many persons were caught out in autos and before they could find shelter they were drenched by the terrific downpour. Streets be came rivulets in less than a minute's time and traffic over the streets was made dangerous by the snapping of limbs and the uprooting of trees. The most serious damage was caus ed by the uprooting of trees, traffic on several streets being halted by trees that were torn from their roofings by the swirling winds. On Franklin Avenue one of the large oaks at the entrance to the home of Mrs. B. F. Rogers was torn from its roots and sent crashing against the home of G. S. Kluttz. Telephone and |>ower lines were snnppcd by the tree in its fall and traffic over the street from Union to Spring, was halted during th* and part ,of today. On Wnt -ftspo street a big tree whlclt stood negr' the Craven Apart ment, was caught in the grip of the wind and hurled across the street. This tree caused suspension of traffic on the street for some time and put the street car out of commission for several hours, the power line haviiig been in the path of the falling tree. A chimney on the home of B. W. Means was knocked off by either the lightning or wind. Some bricks from the chimney cluttered in a gutter of the house while others crashed to the street. At the Gibson Mill baseball park the grandstand and part of the fence were smashed as though they were so much straw. The wind was particu larly severe in that section of the city and a large sign of the Dixie Pos ter Co., which stood near the McGill Street trestle, was partially destroy ed. The i>oles which supported the sign were left but all other materials on the board were swept from their moorings and hurled some distance. West Depot street, from Crowell street to All Saints Episcopal Church, was carpeted with limbs, leaves and twigs after the wind had passed. The same condition existed on North Un ion street and in other parts of the city where there are thany trees. In many yards trees were snapped and distorted and while only a few were actually uprooted many were broken by the storm. In front of the home of C. W. Byrd n tree wns snapped in two near its base. Other trees formed a support and kept it from crashing into the Byrd residence. A large mulberry tree in the hospital yard was damag ed, part of it being torn from the trunk. Near the intersection of Buffalo and Spring streets another mulberry tree was torn in two and a large tree which stood just at the side of the house occupied by Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Wadsworth was broken so part of t, its top fell into the entrance of the r home. Mrs. J. A. Bangle was badly shock ed by lightning soon after the storm started but she revived later. Mrs. Kluttz was badly frightened when the (Continued on Page Eight).

The Concord Daily Tribune Wind Storm Was Confined Almost Wholly to Concord The wind «storm which! wrought; | havoc in Concord last night seemed confined almost wholly to this city, judging by reports reaching here to day. Rain fell in other parts of the county and there was plenty of light ( ning in the rural sectitons around , the city, but damage from wind was reported only in isolated spots in the county. Charlotte reports a heavy rain from 8 to S) o’clock last night but there was no wind and no destructive lightning. I Mt. Pleasant and Kannapolis report rains with no wind to amount to any thing. • Some crops between Concord and 1 ! It. Pleasant and other spots, accord ing to reports, were damaged by hail ■ and wind? but generally speaking the hail and wind were confined to Con cord. Along Big Cold Water Creek, between this city and Mt. Pleasant, some corn was damaged by wind and EX-KAISER’S MOTHER BLAMED HER SON For Any 111 Feeling Between Ger many and Great Britain. Berlin, July 20.—A frank criticism of the E-Kaiser by his mother, the late dowager Empress Frederic, is re vealed by the memoirs of Baron von Reischach, tße last lord marshall and royal equerry of the Hohenzollerns. In his book of memoirs, “Under Three Emperors,” the author quotes the dowager Emperor Frederic in a letter she wrote to him from England in 1807 in response to his appeal to her to try and modify the prevalent severity of opinion about Germany in certain leading circles of England at the time. She wrote: “It is, naturally, my heartfelt de sire to dp everything within my pow er to assuage any existing feeling of irritation or bitterness of opinion. But it ia utterly impossible for me •MRSfcS?WNftCS ing in the decent papers which come to my hand here, as, the Times, Globe, Standard, Daily Telegraph and oth ers, that might be considered offen sive. The indecent ones I never see, heaven be praised, and we may safe ly ignore them. It would be depior able indeed if the Kaiser were to con sider preeminently such papers, from which he could never glean anything but a very distorted picture of public sentiment in England. “But quite apart from all odious exaggerations, a feeling of distrust still prevails for which, however, the Kaiser only has himself to blame. For the exceptional sympathy and popularity which he enjoyed repre sented a card in his hand with which he might have attained inestimable advantages for Germany. Now our only hope must be that in time grass may grow over past errors and ulti mately a more comfortable relation ship be established. “If, however, the German press con tinues to copy the hostile attitude of the Kaiser, Germany will inevi tably be driven into the arms of Rus sia and France and thus bring to grief the consummation of that pol icy which all my life I have most ardently desired—an alliance between the two Germanic nations and great protestant countries.” With Our Advertisers.

Senator Simmons Does Not Intend to Quit Senate Soon Statesville, Ang. 12.—United States Senator F. M. Simmons spent several hours in Statesville today and in an informal interview let it be known 1 that he did not expect to retire from office at the expiration of his pres ent term f that he expected consider able discussion of the evolution ques tion at the next session of Congress and that be would favor a reduettion of from $250,000,000 to $300,000,- 000 in federal taxes for next year, the exact amonnd to depenff upon the surplus from the present year and reduced' appropriations. Senator Simmons came to States ville this morning from Blowing Rock , with ex-Governor and Mrs. Cameron Morrison, with whom he had been on I a ahort vacation trip since Saturday jof last week. Governor Morrison’s . tew words to two newspaper men who j interviewed him were in praise of j Blowing Bock and other Carolina re I hail, but beyond that point there are 1 evidences only of rain. The same is , true in some other localities. There ■ was plenty of rain but no hail and 1 wind. Concord jiersons who were absent 1 from the city between 0:30 and 8:00 i o'clock fotind it hard to understand ' what had happened, judging by talk heard on the streets today. This wns due to the fact that in the places they i were during the two hours there was only n general electric storm with no dangerous flashes of lightning and with no hail and rain. When they re turned to the city and found it in darkness with some of the streets blocked, they were at a loss to under stand what had happened. It seems fortunate that no one wns injured when one considers the num ber of trees that were either uprooted or broken off and tossed into the streets and sidewalks.

There also was bearish comment on the par values issue by the government for the interpretation of mid-August condition figures but these showed no greater increase over August Ist pars than last year, the chief factor being the repeorts of showers in parts of Texas and Okla homa.

BELGIAN DEBT NOW GIVEN THOUGHT AT THE CAPITAL CITY Conferees Trying to Find New Ground on Which to Continue Efforts to Reach Agreement. i FIRST PROPOSAL NOT ACCEPTED This Proposal Made to Bel gian Mission Yesterday, and Its Failure Made the New Move Necessary. Washington, Aug. 13. — UP) —A new ground upon which to continue their effort to reach an agreement for re funding of Belgium’s war debt to this country was sought today by Ameri ' can and Belgian debt commissions. This was made necessary by the re r jeetion by the Belgians of a proposal > made yesterday by the American in ! counter to that of the visitors prev -1 iously found unacceptable by the Am ; erican government. Before the joint sessions were re , sumed the American commission was called to consider additional view points developed yesterday at a group discussion participated in by Chair man Mellon and Senator Smoot, re publicans of Utah, for the American ■ commission, and Ambassador DeCar tier and former Premier Theunis for the Belgians.

France Interested in Negotiations. ’ Paris, Aug. 13.—Intense interest is being taken in French government eir , cles in the Belgian-Americnn debt funding negotiations now in progress . in Washington. The French foreign office is receiv ing each day long communications . from Emile Daeschner, French am ' batmadpr at Washington. ’ The return of the French f mat fug mission to London has been postponed until next week in expectation that developments at Washington will as sist greatly in shaping the French policy for the resumption of the ne gotiations with the British govern ment. Finance Minister Caillaux is al most certain to head the French del egation when It returns to London as his four per cent gold coupon loan is making good headway and conditions seem likely to permit the minister of finance to be absent from Paris for a saw days. It is now known that France and England are thus far agreed in prin ciple that the British yearly demands for payment of the French debt will be fixed not according to the amount ' of the French debt, but according to .

Lopp, ' chief of the Alaska division of the United States bureau of education for 31 years, left his home here this sum mer for Baffin Land, the Canadian island between Greenland and North America, to reorganize the reindeer industry for the Hudson Bay Com pany. Until this year Lopp was in charge of reindeer throughout Alaksa. In the winter of 181)6 a party composed ' of Lieut. D. H. Jarvis, Lieut. E. B. Bertholf, Dr. S. J. Call and Lopp drove a small herd of reindeer 800 miles to Point Barrow, Alaska, from Cape Prince of Wales, on the east ; side of Bering Strait, to relieve a whaling fleet frozen in and starving. The first reindeer in Alaska were landed in 1802 at Teller, fifty miles from Cape Prince of Wales. Lapps were brought to Alaska to teach the Indians and Eskimos how to care for the animals. The raising of rein deer has become one of Alaska’s larg est industries.

Urges Greater Care With All County Government Governor McLean Tells Commissioners New System of Managing County Affairs Is One of the Great . est Needs In State at This Time. (By the Associated Press) Blowing Rock, Aug. 13.—'“An anti quated system of county government, as in State government, is largely re sponsible for the defects in adminis tration which exist in many coun ties,” Governor McLean today tokl the North Carolina Association of Couny Commissioners, in a written message. “I regret it is impossible for me to appear before t'.iis body in person,” he wrote. “I deem it a privilege, however, as well as a pleas ure to accept the invitation to ad dress this message to your associa tion.” Governor McLean declared that his administration was earnestly trying to place the State government on a sound business bflsis, "so flexible as to be adjustable to progress and hu man needs." He urged reformation in county government in North Car olina. “At the outset,” tile governor wrote. “I desire to express to each member of the association my appreciation of the earnest efforts being made in a number of counties to improve local government hy increasing the value of the Twretee-t* Hie fmmfkr.' a a * jpxi ■ Due to constantly increasing activi ties and services which each county government is now called on to per form. I am sure you will agree with me that the present system has be come in a large measure inadequate and unadapted to present day needs. In many instances it lacks organized unity under definite and responsible executive headship. There is some times duplication of effort and over lapping duties, and an absence of prop er fiscal control. Such a condition is not the fault of the officials, most of whom are competent and faithful. It is the fault of a system that at one time was fairly adequate for the needs of the day, but which now. un der the changed conditions, has be come inadequate because of its fail ure to meet the demands made upon it. Those who now hold county of fices. as well as tliosp of us who hold State offices, have inherited this an tiquated system. I think all of us agree that county government, no less than State government, must be made adequate for present day needs. The confidence of the people in local gov ernment roust be maintained. I be lieve that our future progress is de pendent, to a large extent at least, upon the confidence which our citi zenship has in government, and this confidence will be secure only When the people realize that public funds are used in such away that every dollar is accounted for and expended wisely in purchasing needed service for all the people. Our efforts have been directed of late to the task of placing the State government on a sound business basis, and it is not too much to say that good results have been accomplished. The State government is a large unit, composed of the smaller units—the counties. The strength of the State then, in a large measure, rests upon the suc cessful conduct of the affairs of the counties. “We are earnestly striving in North Carolina to place our State govern ment on a sound business basis, so flexible as to be adjustable to prog ress and human needs. I believe this will inspire greater confidence in Odd Fellows to Meet Next Year in Furniture City Charlotte, Aug. 12.—C. P. Burch ette, of Winston-Salem, wns elected grand patriarch of the grand encamp ment of North Carolina. Independent Order of Odd Fellows, this morning at the final session of the 78th annual meeting here. High Point 'was chosen as the place for the 1026 meeting to be held the third Tuesday in August.

H. Cosby, Asheville, grand outer sentinel, and H. M. Ballard, of Ashe ville, grand representative. and create greater respect for our State government at home and at the same time conserve our credit antjf resources in such away that we can continue to expand our highway sys tem. our schools, and other works of public improvement generally. There is a growing and insistent demand that there shall be improvement in local government also. "We are expending annually twen ty and in some instances a hundred times more for schools, roads, and other public services than we expend ed a generation ago, and in some instances our methods of expending and accounting for public funds have not improved or become properly adapted to the tremendously increased volume of business that our counties' are carrying on today. We need to study this condition and to make the business method of government, both State and local, the chief business of our people, if we are to secure and maintain that degree of confidence which is absolutely necessary to en able us to continue to progress. “In order to bring about a reforma tion in county government, there is 1 'wtniecaMfty ,»*fb wry -wtrtnWtht' tteamy radical modification of onr present State laVs. These laws are adequate to enable us to set up better stand ards of county government and ad just ourselves to them. Neither the chief executive nor any department of the State has any desire to interfere with local government, nor to take away any function that belongs to the counties, but this is an age of im provement and progress and it is my belief that by proper study and sym pathetic co-operation with your coun ty officials in discussing ways and means we can help to bring about needed reforms that will be of lasting benefit to the people of our State, and put North Carolina in the fore front in the matter of conducting the affairs of government wisely and ef ficiently. For the purpose of con sidering some plans to bring about the result outlined, I desire especially to have your opinion onj tfiese ques tions : “1. Would it be helpful to the coun ties. in your judgment, for me to ap point a carefully selected commission in county government to study condi tions as they exist today, as well as to what reforms or changes in admin istration may be effected under pres ent laws and under the guidance and authority of the county commission ers. that would improve local govern mests? “2. Could such a commission, by a thorough study of the functions of county government, be in a position to give you helpful Suggestions that would aid you in determining the best methods of improving county govern ment? “Many counties have already made great progress In improving their methods, and it seems to me that a commission, by studying the best practices and observing the best func tions of a number of counties, might be able to set up general standards by which* the officials of each county may measure the efficiency of their own county government. Such a service as this is what I have in mind in suggesting a commission to study (Continued on Page Two) The morning and concluding ses sion of the encampment was devoted to a general discussion under the head of “for the good of the order.” The outstanding topic discussed was a pro pospal for the building of an up-to date swimming pool at the Odd Fel lows orphanage at Goldsboro.
