NO CLUESFOUND BY THE POLICE Motive For Crime Is Being Sought by Philadelphia Officers Who Think She' jjr Was Killed There. Philadelphia, Jan. 23.—(A 3 )—The head of Miss Anna May Deitrich, whose dismembered body was found in the woods near Media, Pa., Thurs day, was discovered today beneath the ties of a Pennsylvania railway bridge over Naylor's Creek, near By wood, a suburb. “There were no marks on the head to indicate how she had been killed. Believing t'liat Miss Deitrich wasr murdered in Philadelphia and her body dismembered before being disposed of, police today concentrated their search for the slayer- or slayers in this city. They were still at a loss to explain a motive for the crime. Investigations have revealed that Miss Deitrich told two conflicting stories a few bourb before she is be lieved to have met her death. To her sister, Mrs. Alexander Schuhl. she said she would have dinner and take a dancing lesson in town and re turn to her home in Norwood, a su burb, on an early traifi that evening. The two women who had been shop ping separated at 5:40 p. m. Less that half an hour later police assert Miss Deitrich met a man named Glea son on a train and told him that she wan to meet "a man from the West" which whom she would attend the theatre. The police have no clue to the identity of the man. Examination of the vital organs failed to show the cause of death. This had led to the belief tTiat the head if found would reveal how the woman died.' WHY HAS GEN. BRAGG’S NAME BEEN NEGLECTED? Wfcs PSS In Ownaod ot fln, Ara, , recently asked, “Why has General Braxton Bragg's' name and fame been neglected by his native state?" The leader of the Confederate forces in the West was a citizen of the North State by birth, and ts most illustrious son of arms. This fact of history, however, is.not commonly known by residents of the state, a close questioning reteals. ■Born in 1817, Braxton Bragg grad uated from West Point Military Academy. He served conspicuously in the Mexican War of 1846 and re ceived several promotions. His real military history, however, dates from 1861. Prior to that date, his claim for attention was his con duct in the battle of Beuna Vista. General Taylor, with an army of 3,- 000 men, was attacked by General Santa Anna, who had a force' of 20,- 000 Mexicans, Holding a position the Mexicans could not penetrate with artillery and cavalry, Taylor survived, It was Bragg’s battery that saved tfle day in a desperate assault against the forces of the tropics. The North Carolinian, following the victory, was congratulated by his su perior. Then a lapse, and came ahe war between the states. While he held several important commands during Hie early months of the war, it was after the battle of Shiloh that Bragg was placed in command of the army of the Mississippi by President Davis. His first inpressive victory then came, when he caused the army of General Rosecreans to suffer heavy losses at • Chickamauga. He was in turn de- L, seated, however, by General Grant at Ks. Chattanooga. F For a time, he acted as military ad viser to President Davis. He died in 1876, General Bragg is recorded as a stern military leader—one who bad been well trained in the fundamentals of fighting. Ready to Discuss French Debt.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT STATISTICS FOR CITIES Many Accidents Charged to Cities Oc cur Outside City Limits. Raleigh. Jan. 23. —(A I )—One-fourth of the tremendous number of automo bile fatalities charged up against the large cities in America are really fa talities resulting from accidents which occurred outside the city limits. In these instances, .tbe injured are brought to the city hospitals, and the fatality is charged against the city. This is indicated by information compiled by the United States depart ment of commerce, and released for publication last night. Information from 24 cities, says the department, indicate that 25 pet cent, of the au tomobile fatalities in these eities in 1925 were due to accidents outside the city limits. Ordinary automobile fatality figures Show the number of deaths which oc curred in specified places, the depart ment says. Consequently, Vi city with hospitals is often charged with many deaths due to automobile acci dents outside the city limits. Un fortunately information regarding the place of accident is not usually given on the death certificate, which is the basis of mortality compilations. How ever, it is added, a general endeavor ia now being made to obtain by spe cial inquiries the desired information as to place of accident. Makes Charge Against President.

Raleigh, .Tan. 22.—(A 3 )—Thomas ft. a federal sentence in the Atlanta pen itentiary, will complete hi.s term oil June 7th. In the meantime, a move I lias been started to have Governor j McLean extend clemency to Cooper ’ so that he will not have to serve tfie j seven year sentence in state prison , which faces him when he returns from Atlanta. Cooper was convicted in federal court in connection with the failure of the Commercial National Bank of Wilmington which went under four ' j years ago. He was president of ; the institution at the time of its fail ure. Later he was Convicted in con j nection with the failure of the Liberty j Savings Bank of Wilmington in state court. On' the first charge he was ’ | sentenced to serve eighteen months in i the Federal penitentiary and on the second, seven years in state, prison ; with the alternative of raising a large | sum of money to reimburse the losers Jin the bank’s crash. The money was ! not raised ami when the time limit ‘ | set by Judge Henry A. Grady, the 1 trial judge, had expired the sentence 1 became effective. Cooper’s appeal to ' j the Supreme Court in the state sen tence resulted ih the lower court be ing upheld. Judge Henry A. Grndy has taken , the lead in advocating clemency to Cooper when he completes his Feder .al sentence. The jurist has addressed a letter to Governor McLean urging | ! clemency with two conditions: that 1 . Cooper place $30,000 in the bonds ofl . the clerk of court of New Hanover I . county to be distributed among the I i depositors of Liberty Savings Bank j i and that he shall agree never to en- j > gage in the banking business in North > Carolina again. Mr. McLean has not indicated' i whether be will take any action ini . the matter nor is it expected that he' • will act without investigating the case | i thoroughly. While in office the gov ernor is making It a rule not to - handle clemency cases personally but to refer them to Pardon .Commissioner Sink for investigation and a report. Cooper did not appear before the parole board of the Federal prison at its last meeting and therefore wHI not have advantage of a parole. His eighteen months sentence expires June 7th after time off for good behavior has been substracted. Forbes Files Another Petition For Re hearing.

FINAL PLANS TO BE APPROVED fSstimkifed WoW That Cost Will Be $75,000.—WU1 Prevent a Water Short age in This City. An impounding dam. planned to give the city a reservoir which s’.tal! preclude the possibility of a shortage of water at any time in the near fu ture. is projected by the water and light department of Concord, and pro posals are called for in the eonstruc j tion of such a dam. The site of the dam is on Chambers I branch, a tributary of Cold Water i Creek. It is to be placed about a i quarter of a mile from Patterson’s ! school building and the water will be ! backed up for t’ae distance of almost I a mile. | Although city officials could not di j vulge the estimate as to tbe cost ! of the dam, it was learned that the construction will be in the neighbor | hood of $75,000. Final specifications have not yet been receiyed but early plans call for the dam to be about 35 feet high, to be built of earth with a concrete pave ment reinforcement. A gate shaft of j reinforced concrete will be construct ed which shall permit the water to | be drained from tbe reservoir at dis- I ferent levels. A spillway is to be | cut through a nearby hill which is i to take care of the normal overflow, i Tn connection with the building of I the dam, leases are being secured on | the 150 acres of land which are to !be sbmerged by water. Several prob lems, however, attendant with its eon : struction have not been solved. Pat ■ terson’s school will be partially under i water and some disposal will have to | be made of it, with the probability of j it being removed to some other site. ! The Hileman Mill-Kannapolis road j will be under water for a good dis ! taure and will have to be changed. | The necessity of some reservoir of I water became apparent last summer I when the city was on the verge of ! a shortage for several months and ; was actually limited in the use of 1 water for a brief period. Cold Water ! Creek, the source of tbe city's supply, I which is usually a full-flowing stream, became a mere branch through which flowed a tiny rivulet of water. Evex.v drop of water at the time of the shortage had to be conserved, i a dam of earth reinforced with plank being constructed at the pumping sta tion to hold all of tbe precious fluid. ■ Rains brought relief, but for a long while there was every indication that , the supply might be lessened momen- tarily with a consequent curtailment in tlie use by the people of the city. Engineers were consulted and the ■ possibility of using other creeks in ’ j the county were looked into. Buffalo ‘ | Creek was. of course, out of the ques- I tion, owing to tbe fact that the sew age at Kannapolis is emptied into it. 1 Coddle Creek offered no more water • than did Cold Water and Rocky River ; was found to be too expensive. > | The drought showed that Rocky River would have but very little more jwa ter than Cold Water in a time -of necessity and a dam on it was f found to cost in the neighborhood of $600,000.
