The Treasury Secretary who is the bead of the American debt funding commission, declared that circum stances were weighed carefully by the commissioners and President Coolidge in agreeing to the rate of interests on all Belgium borrowed from the United States during the war. Mr. Mellon said the pledge of President Wilson was made at a time when Belgium was about to withdraw from the peace ne gotiations, and that Secretary Hoover, a member both of the Versailles con ference and the debt commission, tes tified during the debt discussions here that the influence of Mr. Wilson's promise on the peace settlement was indisputable.

Christian Religion Fundamental ’ is the Organic Law of the Land Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 20.— OP)— | The Christian religion is recognized jj as fundamental in the organic law of I the land in an opinion by Justice jj Brewer, of the United States Supreme j Court, handed down in 1802 in the § case of the Church of the Holy Trin- I ity vs. United States.

EARLY WINTER HIS PUT STOP TO THE I’IILLAN FLIGHT Explorer Will Not Be Able to Fly Over the Un known Polar Sea on His Present Trip. PARTY MAYBE SPLIT UP SOON Very Probable That One Ship With Naval Avia tors Will Return to the States Soon. Washington. Aug. 20. —OP)—Early approach of the Arctic winter has forced the MacMillan expedition to abandon its effort to fly over the un known Polar Sen and may even lead one of the two ships to return ahead of schedule. Although officials of the Notional Geographic Society said today they had received no indication that the party might split up and one of the vessels precede the other in its re turn, they however admitted it as a possibility. When informed of a report to this effect it was said that if Commander Donald MacMillan should decide up on such a plan, it probably would be to enable the naval flying unit with the expedition lo leave the far North before the closing in of winter weather. It also was pointed out that the scientific work still to be attempted in Greenland, Labrador and Baffin Is land would not necessarily require the efforts of the entire party, and that in view of this, a part might return in advance. They were of the belief, however, that if this were done there would be only a matter of ten days or two weeks 1n the time claiming be tween the arrival home of the two ships.

Blackwelder, Cabarrus Coun ty farmer who has been missing since Saturday a week ago, returned to Concord late Wednesday evening after an 11-day glimpse “beyond the hori zon’’ and was almost immediately tak en to his home in No. 5 Township by a daughter and a grandchild who had come to get him wEeii they heard of his return. His story was one of a desire to travel, to see beyond the narrow eon tines of Cabarrus county, of a desire unrequited until he took fate in his own bands and proceeded "to see the world.” It mattered not to him thut he left behind him a wife of forty-five years, children and grand-children who searched vainly for some trace of him. He wanted to get out and sec some thing. In particular, he wanted to see Il linois. Ever since he was a youth in his early twenties, he had longed to view that state. It had a fascination for him that the Orient has for oth ers. And yet, here he was, after for ty years of longing, still at his farm, still doing the same duties he lftd al ways had.

Hunt and John Gobel Is Being Held. Miami, Fla., Aug. 20.— UP) —A cor , oner’s inquest today will probe tile death b*- poisoning of Mrs. U, . , Hunt, for which John tfobef; wealthy Daytona realtor, is being held. An autopsy of the body conducted by I)r. R, K. Jauden, county physi cian, yesterday, disclosed evidence that a powerful corrosive poison caused her death. However, a qualitative analy sis has not yet been applied. Mrs. Hunt was arrested Tuesday ’ following a warrant sworn out by Gobel charging grand larceny of a diamond ring Gobel is then said to have visited the jail, seeing Mrs. Hunt and telling her he was thinking of withdrawing the warrant. He said he wanted to fix things up and was 1 left alone with her. A few minutes later the woman [came running out of the jail office, police said, crying that Gobel made her drink something.

Tokyo, Aug. 20. — UP) —The interest ed powers have virtually agreed on their attitude toward the proposed conference on the Chinese customs tariff. Tile foreign office in a state ment today said it had been agreed that the tariff autonomy cannot be granted China at present, the agenda arranged by the Washington agree ment must be first considered by the conference, after which the delegates will decide regarding the discussion of any reasonable proposal China may make. It was generally agreed that no de cision should be made at present. Tiger Flowers, who is recovering from a recent operation, expects to be able to meet Allentown Joe Gans at Grand Rapids on the night of Au gust 21st. Illinois. Thinking it over though, Mr. Black welder came to the decision that something had to be done quickly if he were to get away. His family would, he knew, never consider let ting him leave. If he had mentioned it, he declared, they would have found so many things that had to be done that he knew he would never have gotten away. He therefore decided to pull out quietly. Since Illinois had been the goal of his ambition, he took note of the ad vertisements and saw one in the At lanta Journal which exactly suited his purpose. It was to the effect that machinists were wanted in Moline, Illinois, at a salary of from five to ten dollars a day. This, thought Mr. Blackwelder, would give him a chance to live well and make money, in addittion to seeing the state he desired to see. Coming to Concord on Saturday, August Bth, he made all his plans.
