Cassopolis. Mii li., Nov. 24.—OP) —
Armed bandits terrorized Cassopolis
for nearly three hours early today, fir- j
ing at every resident who dared to
appear on the streets, and finally roar
ed out of town to the staccato aooom
panitnent of their own revolvers af
ter failing to rob the First National
Bank.'
Their number was variously esti
mated by excited Cassopolis residents
at from five to ten. From the eon
fusftn of scores of accounts by per
sons whose temerity led them to see
what all the shooting was for, and
wiiose better judgment almost as
quickly sent them' out of sight arid
gunVnnge, this is what happened:
Tiie bandits entered Cmwopolis
shortly after 2 a. m. today. They
bound the n'ght watchman and three
other men who Were in two all-night
restaurants, cut telephone ami tele
graph wires leading out of the city,
anil for 2 Kf’hours owned the town.
At 4:45 a. m„ after an ineffectual
attempt to break the vault of the
First National Bauk, the bandits left ,
in an automobile heading toward
Niles.
During the time .they had undisput
ed possession of this Casa county vent,
town, the bandits fired between 100
and 150 shots (Again the accounts of
eye witnesses are at variance) and on
ly one shot was fired in return. Re
volvers and sawed off shot gnus were
used, and the targets were any who
appeared on the streets or who show
ed lights in offices or residences near
the business district.
George Jones, a stock buyer,.was
the only casualty. As he emerged
from his house be was greeted xith
a vottry. A' shot gun slug in flirt OATS'
neck wound and he retreated into the
house.

| Ariea, Chile. Nov, 24.—(40—Amer
! Scans in Arica are accused by the
i former Chilean presided Arturo Ales
sandri, of promoting “"conflict, dis
cord and hatred” between Chile and
Peru, instead of trying to solve peace
fully the dispute over Tncna and Ar’-
on.
The former president’s charges were
made in a speech delivered yesterday
afternoon at the funeral nf a Carabor
ino who was killed in an attack last
Friday on n Curabarino station house
as Morutia.

Washington. Nov. 24.—04>)—The
cruiser Rochester on which General
Pershing went to South America for
the Tacna-Arica negotiations* has been
ordered relieved for Vi trip to-the
United States, but so far as known
here the movement does no! involve
any change in the personnel of the
American Tacna-Ariea commission.
It was learned today that General
Pershing has been nnxions to come
home for a brief visit, officials giving
as the reason a desire to he in the
United States during the Christmas*
holidays. Latest available informa
tion here, however, is that he probably
will not do so.
The offirinl explanation given for
the return of the Rochester is that
shq is in need of repairs. It was de
clared today that the decision to send
the erliiser Denver from the Canal
Zone to Ariea to relieve the Rochester
.was reached some time ago. although
it WasJtept secret.
BROADAWAY ON TRIAL
FOR DYNAMITING HOME
Ilia Mother, Whose House Was Partly
Wrecked, Testifies Against Him.
Albemarle, Nov. 23.—Afifi 11 liroaila
way, of TliomasviUe, who is charged
with baviug dynamited the home in
which his mother lived here, on Sep
tember 15th. is being tried in the Su
perior Court now in session in Albe
nqarlc. Mrs. Jane Brondawy, the
gCay-haired mother of the defendant,
wept on the stand this afternoon and
Wn the jury how she ami her one
month old grandchild were thrown
from their bed by the explosion about
10:80 o’clock at night. while they
were asleep.
Mrs. Broadawny was painfully in
jured while it •is stated that the
little child is no doubt permanently
injured from the effects of the explo
sion. All of the evidence is not yet
in but a web of circumstantial evi
dence is being woven about Broada
way. Rroadaway, is relying on an
alibi as his defense, it is understood.
Judge P, A. McElroy today issued
a bench warrant for N. C. Cranford,
superintendent of Stanly county’s
chain gang, against whom the State
ated interest in Albemarle and throug
some weekß' ago. This ease has creat
ed interest in Aljiemnrle and through
out the state. A large list of wit
nesses has been subpoenaed and the
ease will likely come up for trial on
Wednesday of this week. Cranford
has been taken in custody and placed
under abond of $3,500 for his ap
pearance before Judge McElroy Wed
nesday. Several charges are recited
in the warrant, growing out of al
leged treatment of prisoners by Cran
ford. It is understood that this mat
ter will be given a full hearing and
all witnesses who have information

Cranford will be called. Several wit

TRAGIC RRRORK IN
POSTAGE STAMPS
Fates of Nations Hare Been Derided
by Postage Stamps.
London. Nov. 24.—T0 an outsider
it seems rather odd and nlmost anuis
’ ing that Che recent error of a work
man in gumming a sheet of postage
stamps on the wrong side has creat
ed such a stir among stamp collect
ors that almost fabulous prices have
been bid for the stamps. King George
himself, an ardent stamp collector
since his boyhood days was among
those who paid a high price for a
block of the stamps which had the
gum on the face instead of on the
back.
. While mistakes in the printing of
postage stamps are usually of little
qpneern outside the world of philate
ly, there have been instances when
such errors have played sinister parts
in history.
That cue of these “scraps of paper”
could cloak an innocent man with the
shadow of a dreadful death may seem
incredible, yet it actually occurred
in the ease of R. A. de Villard. of
the imperial customs at Shanghai.
Towards the end of the last .century
this luckless man was instructed to
surpassed beauty, the special issue
being in celebration of the sixteenth
birthday of the Dowuger . Empress.
Unwittingly the artists committed a
tieinouJT blunder in the , Chinese eyes,
for he employed the imperial purple
■ in his design and made the further
mistake of abbreviating the words
“Imperial Post!’ to “Imp-. Post.”
Sorely offended, t the Emperor sum
moned de Villard, who a)>ologixcd pro
fusely. But the unrelenting monarch
, condomned the unfortunate official to
what, in effect, was a living death.
Banished lo a wild nnd little-known
part of Tibet, ostensibly op a gov
i eminent expedition. Mr. do Villard
■ had small hope of ever returning. To
! tally blind, and collapsing from ex
■ tremc weakness, he was recused some
■ years 'later, but helping hands were all
• to late am! lie died almost imme
■ diately.
i Terrible trouble was predicted by
I Russian lieasants when a new postal
1 issue was prepared a dozen years ago
■ in honor of the Romanoff dynasty.
■ Witii characteristic superstition they
I pointed out that every time a stamp
- was used the faec of the “Little
■ Father,” which lmd not before been
■ printed on a stap, would be besmirch- 1
1 ed. In this fact the prophets dis- 1
i eerned the shadow of not distant!
' events.

I
Dr.. W. S. Rankin Tells
Audience of Need for a
Public Hospital in Ca
barus County.
LARGE CROWD
HEARD ADDRESS
* :
j Meeting Was Called by
Commmittee W orking j»
Secure Aid From Duke
Endnowment.
Declaring that a public hospital
was a necessity in any modern cofi
munity. I>r. W. S. ltankin. of I>ur
ham, chairman of rhe hospital sec
tion of the Duke foundation, made' a j
stirring address Monday night at the I
court liouse in a plea for the erection
of such an institution in Cabarrus.
His address covered every phase of j
the subject, both the physical aliil
moral side of the question being con
sidered. As a medium for reducing
sickness and death. Dr. ltankin showed I
that it would be a blessing to the |
people. As an uplifting influence in
the ethical side of a eommunity. Dr.
Rankin pointed out. that service In
the uplifting of mankind wns one pf
the chief builders of character. 1
On the more material side of t&e
hospital question, Dr. ltankin pro
duced figures in support of the state
ment that the cost would not be bur
densome. Taking the estimates as
high as there was any possibility of
the expenses ever going ill fie insti
tution, iit was shown that the people
of the county would have to contribute
33 cents each year in order to have !
the entire debt wiped out in twenty'
years.
At the conclusion of the speech a
number of the local men present were
heard from and a>t the motion of
Judge Morrison 11. Caldwell, a vote
of thanks was extended .to Dr. Rank
in and a committee was appointed to
lake future action in regard to the
hospital. The committee, consisting
of J. P. Cook, D. It. Coltrane, Dp.
T. N. Spencer and Mayor C. H. Bar
rier, was chosen to name a central
eommmSftee from each voting pre
cinct, the central committee to hate
rltqrre of fto future work in tl|Sl
Aft’flr an opening prflyor by Dr. J.
C. Rowan. J. P.’Cook, chairman of
the committee appointed from the
civic organizations of’the city, intro
duced Dr Rankin, declaring that here
was a Cabarrus county boy whose
reputation was not only confined to
North Carolina but was nationwide
as well. .
Dr. Rankin's introductory remarks
were in expression of his pleasure at
coming to his ’home county in the
very outset of his work. He added
that he was glad to be here .'o work
for the sick. “If," said he, “the sick
of Cabarrus county could be gathered
here, there would he 700 in beds and
on cots. Os this 700 seventy would
be so seriously ill as to be hospital
eases in the most restricted sense of
the term. No one could look at this
and not recognize in it an opportunity
for ‘making the blind see and the deaf
hear'.”
In showing that the hospital was
a modern community need, Dr. Rank
in showed tlie re'mflrkable advance in
medicine since the 'BO or ’9os. A
community without a hospital was
putting itself bnck thirty or thirty-'
j five years, he said. In support of
I the contention that the medical pro
! session had learned much about dis
j ease, he gave figures in which it was
I shown that the death rate had de
creased from 19.6 per thousand in
1890 to 12 per thousand in 1925. A
community without a 'hospital was rel
egating itself to the ora when there
were no telephones and no automo
biles, he declared.
A modern community cannot get
along without a hospital, wns llie |
next point by Dr. Rankin. “In the <
first place," he said, "physicians are „
unable to equip themselves with the '
necessary facilities for the diagnosis i
and treatment of disease. They can 1
not have a laboratory, nor can they i
equip it. It would be wasteful if
each dofctor did have his own labora- 1
tory. I
‘The way to handle this need is to 'j
pool the necessary diagnostic faeili- :
ties. Then there wouldl be a cen
tral laboratory and X-ray machine. ,
We can't .treat diseases until we can .
diagnose the cases and if there were a
hospital, there would be the necessary
equipment.
‘jSurgery also requires elaborate
equipment which can not be had out
side of a hospital.” Here Dr. Ran
kin paused a moment to pay a tribute
to the private hospital. , If there had ■„
never been a private school, there
would be no public schools. In like
manner the privatfe hospital' was the
forerunner of the public hospital.
A hospital was also necessary. I lie
speaker declared, to maintain a med
ical profession. Young physicians
would locate only where there were
hospital facilities.
The consideration of the cost of the
hospital was next taken up In the
address. In large eities, five beds
per thousand imputation was consid
ered adequate. In a community such
as Cabarrus, one bed per thousand
would be adequate. The average
in North Carolina, Dr. Rankin show
ed. Was .0 bed tier thousand.
That is, it was said, a hospital of
thirty jot forty beds would be suffi
cient 1 . A hospital costs, as an aver
age, about $2,000 '• per bed which
would pat the total, with the addi- |

MERCHANT MARINE
POLICY IS ATTACKED
Vice Chairman Plummer Wants a
Policy That Will Realize Some
thing Adequate.
Miami, Flu.. Nov. 24.—OP)—The
present government merchant marine
policy is in effect only one "of tem
porary service and eventual scrap
ping,” Vice Chairman Plummer of the
United States shipping board declared
here in an address today before the
convention of the Atlantic Deeper
Watersways Association, whereas “a
national aid .policy would enable the
government to realize something ade
quate from the sale of its ships.”
‘ . i
tion of money to eqinp it, around
SIOO,OOO. Dr. Rankin's estimate was
that if the money were advanced by
the county, the yearly expenditure
for .twenty years would be as follows:
$5,000 for a sinking fund. $2,625 for
interest on money borrowed to build
R, and for maintenance. The
total expense would be $11,275, or a
cost per capita of 33 1-3 cents for
each inhabitant of the county.
The part the Duke endowment will
play in the scheme wns made clear
when he staled that the foundation
■would pay $1 per bed per day for
charity beds. This would lift the
burden of the charity eases off the
community, it was declared. In a
qirlvate hospital, there are oae-third
of the patients who are unable to
pay for .treatment, and »s a result of
this, the other two-third* have to pay
for them.
On the ethical side of the question
Dr. Rankin said that there was a
very real reason for sickness. “It
takes sickness and death to get the
beet out of human nature. Sickness
and death are the basis of character.
We couldn’t have sympathy if it were
not for need and suffering. There
would be no love without sympathy
and out of love comes service.” These
truths were made clearer with the use
of a number of stories bearing direct
ly on the question.
In conclusion, Dr. Rankin adder
that he was anxious for Cabarrus tc
take the lead in the hospital question
especially because of the influence ii
would have in getting Stanly county
[to vote money for a hospital.

DAVipSON-DI KE GAME. [
Methodist Victory' Over Wofford
Proves Dukemen Are Real Fighters, j
Davidson, Nov. 23—After wander
ing about from one North Carolina ,
city to another rho Davidson-Duke .
game was placed on a campus-to- 1
campus basis, and bids fair to l>e- 1
come one of the greatest Thauksgiv
itig day classics of the south Atlan- .
tic states. Although the meeting of .
the two teams on Richardson field at 1
Davidson this year will be only the i
fourth, these few contests have been <
such as to insure, along with .the 1
certain rise of Duke to a position of
prominence, the game becoming an
important one.
Time was this season wsert " un
knowing fans have pointed to the
game as one of little consequence
but those dreams have certainly 1
fluttered away. Duke's victory over 1
their rival Methodist squad at Wof- i
ford last week-end showed the the
world that Coach Herron has a :
bunch of real football players. It t
also showed that he has developed a 1
team that will come upon Richard
son field with as good chances to
win as the Wildcats themselves. >
Davitlson's margin of victory over ,
the Wofford team earlier in the |
season was only 7-0; V. M. l's was
9-0 and Dukes was 04).
The great holiday crowd that
watches the Thanksgiving day game
between Davidson and Duke will ,
also witness the final collegiate per
formance of eight of the best grid
men who ever wore the colors of the
Wildcat school. Six varsity men on
the Davidson team will sing their
football swan song while two others
who have garnered a letter and one
of more stars will join in in a chorus
that the Davidson students are hop
ing will be able to sweep, the David
son colors to a final victory.
Often throughout the past two
seasons the crowded galleries, usual- !
ly indifferent to the playing of foot
ball linesmen, have risen to . their
feet in thrilling testimony to the
playing of little "Red” Baker at
tackle and the smashing charges of
Harry Vance at guard. Both of
these men were placed on the ma
jority of the all-state elevens of .
last season and along with Jjm
Hendrik. Captain Wick Black and
Joe McConnell, will give a bit of
trouble to the pickers of mythical
elevens this year.
With three of his regullar backs
l'mving, Hendrix, Black and Wells,
Coach Younger will have to hustle
next season; while the loss of both
of his varsity tackles, Laird ami
Baker, along with Anderson who
has made two letters at that posi
tion, aud Vance, regular guard, will !
be a great blow to tbs» Wildcat team.

MITCHELL STICKS TO
CHARGES ON STANi
AT COURT MArr®
Says American Aviators i
Have Been Flying in
Flaming Coffins in the
Past Years.
NO SAFER NOW
THAN IN PAST |
Officer Says Government i
Has Really Done Noth-j
ing to Make Airplanes
Any Safer.
Washington, Nov. 24.—(A?)—Col. j
Wm. Mitchell reiterated before, hisj
court martial today his charge that !
American aviators were fly ing in
flaming coffins.
Resuming the witness stand for con
elusion nf hisv.cttoss examination at I
the bands of Major Allen Bullion, as- I
sistaut trial judge advocate, the air:
officer insisted there bail been no in-j
crease in safety for the flying men. ,
Major Bullion developed by ques
tioning the witness that the number!
of flying hours per fatality for tlib ;
official year 1921 was 934. while for
tile official year 1925 the number was
5,269.
“Doesn't this prove that the safety
of flying has increased from 1921 to
1925 inclusive about 550 per cent.?”
Mr. Bullion asked.
“It is a very misleading statement,"
Col. Mitchell replied. "There is no
increase in safety. There is a de
crease in safety. Our personnel is
better trained now than it was iu 1921
aud flying has been much more re
stricted. Tile machines still are flam
ing coffins."
“Do you not know that flying in the
United States is twice as safe as it
is in Great Britain?" the witness was
asked.
“No."
"Do you nut know that flying in the
United States is four times as safe as
it is in Italy?"
J “No! Figures enn he twisted.”

W'Uh Leottard Kip Jlhtnetanfler.
■White Plains. X. Y.. Nov. 34v—</#•>
—Mrs. Alice Joncß Rhinelander .will
take the stand this afternoon under
the present plans of the defense, to
detail the story of her romance with
Leonard Kip Rhinelander, wealthy
young society man. The plaintiff is
scheduled to rest his case immediate
ly after the convening of the after
noon session.
Whether Alice will testify today de
pends on her physical condition. .Her
counsel is not certain whether she
lias fully recovered from her ordeal of
yesterday when she partly disrobed
before the jury to permit them to see
the color of her skin.
Mrs. Mary Rich, who took the
stand for the plaintiff this morning,
revealed that Alice had told her of
her surprise party to which Philip
Rhinelander, Leonard's father, and
other friends of Leonard selected from
the social register were to be invited.
At this party the marriage was to be
announced. The plan, however, fell
through, when the newspapers pub
lished details of the wedding, and
Leonard left his wife.

Raleigh. Nov. 24.-—(A*) —How cold
dies it get oil Mount Mitchell, highest
point in eastern America, ill the wint
er time? Nobody knows, because the
weather bureau has never been able
to persuade any one to stay on the
mountain top through the winter to
take the readings.
But already this month the tern-j
perature has dropped to ten degrees;
below zero. This was on November 1
20t li. Throe days earlier, on Novem
ber 17th—to illustrate the variety of
climate in North Carolina —the maxi
mum in this state was 96 at Golds
boro. A difference of 105 degrees
yyqthin the same state in a space of
three days!
For the past two years, the weather'
bureau has received part time reports
! from an observer on Mitchell, 6,711
' feet above sea level. The reports are
I made to Lee A. Denson, in charge of
j the central weather bureau for the
I state here at Kaleigli. who explained
I that the minimum temperature in niid
• wmer on the top of Mitchell had
■never been recorded, because nobody
i could he tempted to spend a winter on
