It. O. ALEXANDER SENT
TO THE STATE HOSPITAL
Judge Shaw Remands Charlotte Cot
-1 ton Broker to Insane Asylum After
. Hearing.
Lenoir. Aug. 31.—1 t. O- Alexander,
cotton broker of Gastonia and Char
lotte, was remanded to the state hos
pital/for the insane at Morganton,
by Judge Thomas J. Shaw in a
habeas corpus proceedings here to
day. Mr. Alexander had been com
mitted to the state hospital from
Mecklenburg county the first of July.
The writ of habeas corpus which
was braid before Judge :Shmv today
was the first effort to secure his re-
lease.
In bryigiug the writ 1. T. Avery
and W. C. Ervin, of Morganton,
counsel for Mr. Alexander, based
their argument on the grounds that
the commitment had not been legal,
and that examination had not bedn
made before the clerk of the court of
Mecklenburg county as it should
have beer,. W. C. Xcwland, who ap
peared for the members of Mr. Alex
ander's family, who had asked that 1
he be eommitted to the state hospital,
produced the original commitment
from the,papeiri on file.
The original commitment had been
sworn out by a son of Mr- Alexan
der who i.s now in Dunn. The son
was not here and had not been noti
fied of thp habeas corpus proceedings.
Mr. Carson and Mr. Thompson, of
Charlotte, ton-in-laws, were here and
were placed on the stand by their
counsel. The only evidence offered by
Mr. Alexander's counsel was that of
himself. Dr. John . McCampbell.
superintendent of the state hospital,
testified that he thought Mr. Alex
ander abnormal, but that his testi
mony was based more on the his
tory and record of the case, given
them by Mecklenburg authorities
than by observations.
It was brought cat in the testi
mony that Mr. Alexander and his
\yi£e had separated a number of
years ago and that he had spent
much of his time in the north and
east. He had failed in has payments
of alimony, ami attachment proceed
ins were brought against property
which he owned. Ilis actions in coils
nection with his family, especially
towards his children, and his re
ligious views and arguments, uc
ording to evidence produced in to
day's proceedings, brought about liis
commitment to the state hospital for
insane.
It appeared from the evidence that
Mr. Alexander owns a valuable piece
of property near Black Mountain. In
his alleged mentul condition he had
sold this property for much less than
it was worth.
The proceeding- which committed
him to the state hospital automatical
ly stopped the transfer of this land.

l’ick-pockets and thieves will find it
hard to dispose of their ill-gotten
gains. "Lost in the laundry” will

q»an who finds that by mistake lie has

Instead of a series of names, it will be

A dream of the future? Yes. but
it future no farther off than November i
of this year. lit that month will
be launched a scheme likely to revo
lutionize tile lives of the people ill
more ways than one. Known as the
monomark system, the scheme lias
been devised by William Morris, a
prominent business man of London,
who has devised a plan by which every
one Os the inhabitants of the United
Kingdom may. if lie or she so desires,
be allotted a distinguishing undupli
cated number, b.v which the holder and
everything he or she possesses, from
an automobile to a tiepin, can readily 1
be identified.
Names “were introduced 'in early
times to -identify one member of a'
family or tribe from another. In the
middles ages heraldry was instituted,
but the great growth of papulation
has led to confusion. Thus, in Great
Britain alone, there are 530.000 peo
ple named Smith, among them 204.000
J. Smiths. 41.000 John Smiths, 30.-
(100 .T. \V, Smiths, and 4.800 ’John
William Smiths, their sole means of
identification by strangers being their
addresses. The monomark Will do
away with these and kindred difficul
ties.
A monomark, the inventor claims,
is thV shortest officially recognized
and address, and tile cost of register
ing it will be less than one dollar.
It consists of a symbol of from three
to five characters. If. for example,
a person’ has been assigned the mono
mark B. M. J. K. L.. the first two
letters indicate “British Monomark."

I leaving battleships out of consider

formidable craft.
And this is the type of vessel
which the English and Japanese
are now co/icentratlng upon build
ing. The upshot presently will be,
the big navy folk predict, that
while the United States may re
main. at least theoretically, upon a
battleship equality with England
and somewhat Japau’s superior, she
will b*. relatively so weak in cruis
ers as to be, net, at a hopeless
disadvantage.
• • •
rpo be sure, President Coolidge
plans to call another confer
ence, to limit cruiser-build
ing, but the big navy group doesn't
•believe there is the remotest pos
sibility England and Japan will
agree to this.
By just one method, the bife
navyites'think, does America stand
some chance of bringing the English
and Japanese to terms—by setting
the English and Japanese so hot
a cruiser-building pace that they
can't keep up with it. Rather than
be outbuilt, or strained beyond
their powers of financial endur
ance by America's greater re
sources, It’s foreseen that the two
other peoples would be willing to
call a halt all 'round, at some
reasonable figure.

The private uses to which this kind J
of mark can be put are almost with
out number. A monomark can be
as small gs a hall-mark, and ean be
stamped on any kind of material. It
can be placed on tfie clasp of a neck- ij
lacc, or on a piece of machinery.. A ij
monomark recorded ngainst the name
of a person or firm will ptove invaltt- J
