ACCEPTED BY MI
Secretary of War Davis
Advises the Former Air
Chief That His Res&na
tion Has Been Accepted.
LEAVES SERVICE
FEBRUARY FIRST
His Retirement Automatic
ally Ends the Five-Year
Suspension to Which He
Was Sentenced.
Washington, Jan. 20.— Of) —The
resignation of Col. Wra. Mitchell from
the army hats been accepted.
Tn accordance with his expressed
wishes, the air service officer will be
permitted to step out on February
1, thus automatically bringing to an
end the five year suspension to which
he was sentenced by a court martial
after conviction of breaking discipline
by his criticism of the government’s
aviation policy.
The decision was announced in this
statement by Secretary Davis of the
War Department:
"The Secretary of War has decided
that the resignation of Col. Wiliam
Mitchell, Air Service, will be accepted
to take effect February 1, l!)2f>. The
Adjutant (lencral cf the army has
been notified to this effect.”
Nothing beyond this brief an
nouncement was made public.
It wag learned, however, that the
acceptance was unconditional and did
not hinge on any formal notation that
it w*s “for the good of the service.”
Secretary Davis feels that the fact
that the resignation was offered by an
officer under approved sentence for
violation of the articles of war suf
ficiently indicates for the record the
circumstances under which jGolonel
Mitchell is to be separated from the
military service.
Informed by the Associated Press
of the decision to accept his resigna
tion. Col. Mitchell would make no
comment. He feels ho will not be
fully at liberty to speak for publica
tion until he actually has ceased next
Monday to be a member of the milii
tary establishment.
There is no doubt, howcvejvtbat
1 begli ip*,
mediately upon his return to civilian
status an active public campaign in
support of his views as to the aviation
necessities of our national defense.

VIRGINIA ROAD MILEAGE
CLAIMS ARE DISPROVED
North Carolina Leads in Hard-Sur
face—Has State System, Virginia
Hasn't.
Raleigh, Jan. 28.—Current issue
of the Manufacturer's Record carries
articles by Chairman H. G. Shirley,
of the Virginia, and by H. K. With
erspoons. publicity man for the
North Carolina, highway commis
sions, and North Carolina is leading
Virginia in concrete or hard surfaced
mileage as 1,832.76 leads 1,820.
When Virginia set up claim near
ly a year ago of more hard surfaced
miles than .North Caroiinu has.
North Carolina got mad. The worst
of it was that the state hid this
mileage with very little state bond
ing, if any. All the progressive Vir
ginians who eame to North Carolina
rubbed it in to the state and it was
explained thgt the Old Dominion
had its roads .scattered all over the
state with hardly any suggestion as
to ia state system. Virginia was
but ding in the usunl F. F. V. Jfiuh-i
Jwi.-i-'l'here were hundreds of mires'
here, there and everywhere, but few
strung together.
But notwithstanding tbe alleged
let down last year, North Carolina
ran ahead of Virginia by concentrat
ing. The state put it all over Vir
ginia in miles and millions. Tbe con
troversy is closed and the two state
claims are settled.
Many of Virginia's so-called hard
surfaced roads, however, are said to
be of ancient vintage, while prac
tically all of North Carolina's are of
modern construction. North Caro
lina’s hard surfaced roads, too, are
knitted together into a state high
way Bystem that enables many sec
tions of the state to be reached by
the motorist without leaving the
hard surface. Virginia's roads have
not been built on this plan and in
many sections there is rough work
for the automobilists seeking to get
from one section of hard surface to
another.
During 1025 North Carolina's con
struction of hard surfaced highways
more than doubled Virginia's. North
Carolina built 666 miles of such
roads while only 246 miles were
constructed by her northern neigh
bor. North Carolina also spent twice
as much money for roads of all kinds
as did Virginia and expenditures of)
$27,827,056 are shown for North
Carolina as against $13,700,000 for
Virginia.
Virginia, however, still leads
North Carolina in the total mileage
of all types of roads on the state
highway system, having approxi
mately 5,000 as against North Caro
lina's 4,448.

' DAIRY SCHOOLS
One Hundred and Thirty-Five to Be
Held February 15 to March 26
Rale’gh, N. C., Jan, 29.—</P>—One
hundred and thirty-five dairy schools
will be held in the piedmont and
mountain counties of North Carolina
during the period February 15 to
March 26, by the dairy extension of
fice of State College, it was announc
ed today by the College. The pur
pose of the schools will be to teach
dairymen the .'principles of better
feeding.
Most of the schools will be held on
good dairy farms, where informal dis
cussions and actual demonstrations of
important feeding problems will be
entered into by the farmers attending
the meetings. The meetings will be
in charge of the county agents in the
several counties in which the schools
are to be held, and the lectures will
be given by the dairy extension spec
ialists.
“One of the important matters to
which we will give attention at these
schools will be balancing the daily
ration." John Are.v, in charge of dairy
extension work for the College of Ag
riculture, said today.
“Our eow-testing records show that
some dairymen are feeding their
cows more economically than others,
and it is such facts as these that we
want to bring out at the schools. We
know that more dairy cows in North
Carolina fail to return a profit be
cause of poor feeding than b*rnuse of
poor breeding. -w*,
“We know, too, that out most suc r
■ ytbssfnl dairymen are those who grow
all of their roughage f««d and' part of
the concentrates needed for their
herds? These are some of the things
that will be stressed at the schools.”

Cases.

dict of acquittal was ordered ths af

which they were being tried for mur
der in connection with tbe death of

tomobile.
The state contended that Dr. Britt
and Robertson were occupants of the
automobile and they were arrested im
, mediately after the girl was killed,
they denied the charge. Judge Webb
directed the acquittal of the two men
on the grounds that the state had fail
ed to establish that either of the de
fendants was an occupant of the car
that killed Miss Helms.

CONCORD, N. C„ FRIDAY, JANU ARY 29, 1926
POLICIES OF MR. WILSON j
AT LAST BEING ADOPTED
Within Six Years After They Were
Repudiated They Are Being Eager
ly Accepted.
R. E. Rowell, in Winston-Salem
Sentinel.
Washington, Jan. 26.—A little'
more .than Nix yearn since Woodrow :
Wilson projiosed it, the United States
—a itolitioal miracle exeepted—is 1
entering til* League of Nations. It i
in slipping in the back way, as. De
mocrats have always contended the I
Republicans would do. Nevertheless
ratification of the Swanson resolu-,
tion providing American adhesion to |
the world court is so near that Dem- j
oeratri can, with perfect propriety, i
begin to speculate upon the partisan ;
advantage of returning to the ideals
of the war president.
There is an undercurrent of poll- j
tics here which strikingly empha-I
sizes the situation above described.
The fight on the world court, for the
most part, has been conducteel by the
original enemies of the lenguc. Os
the opposition of Borah, Republi
can, and Reed. Democrat, little in to
be said except that Borah, everyone
believes, has acted in perfect good
faith from beginning to end. He has
been the lion in the path of open af
filiation with the league but his
sincerity has never been question.
Mr. Ooolidgc's recommendation on
tho subject of tbe world court, as
Senator Lawrence Tyson, tt native
North Carolinian, pointed out in his
maiden speech here the other day, is
a refutation of the argument that
this country voted a majority of T,-
000,000 against the League of Na
tions. Cloture having been assured,
ratification is no longer ht doubt
and the back gate entry via the
Swanson resolution means that the
real friends of-pence, those who want
the United States to wind up the
job “over there.” are now in a posi
tion to take the question to the
country with some hope of getting a
same vote.
In the adoption of the Swanson
resolution, the Democrats have
gained an advantage of which there
is, of course, much chance of over
estimating. The league friends are
victorious now, they went down in
defeat in 1920. The Republican ap
position lias, by brute force of pub
lic opinion and unavoidable mishaps
been beaten down until it is no lon
ger n mnpor factor. Tbe Democratic
cue now isto find a party leader
whose sympahies have consistently
been with Wilson and whose politi
cal judgment is ripe enough to see
away of avoiding tbe mistakes Mr.
Wilson mnde in party matters.
That prospect is rosy. Democrats
are more bouyant than they have
been since the Harding landslide.
The enthusiasm which manifested
itself two years ago was largely
synthetic. Indications here in party
circles are that the present brand is
pre-war stuff.
Discussion of filling North i.'nro
liua’s vacancy in Statuary Hall here
has been quite general among visi
tors from tbe state who are here
long enough to spend a few hours ou
Capitol Hill. -It has been talked
enough within tbe past month for
agitation to take form. The matter
will likely be presented to the next
legislature.
Most everyone thinks mat the
statue of Charles Brantley Ayeoek,
the educational governor, should be
placed alongside of that of Zebulon
Baird Vance. No other contemporary
lof Aycock is seriously considered al
| though there is now and then a hint
that friends of Senator F. M. Sim
mons have favored delaying me mat
ter of selecting a statesman to fill
the vacancy.
Aycock is the choice of four out
of five men who profess an intimate
acquaintance with the life or the
state since Vance’s day. It will take
about SIO,OOO, members of the gen
eral assembly estimate, and the next
legislature will probably be asked to
make the appropriation. There is op
position to haring the next statue of
Aycock made by the same artist who
put up the statute ou Capital
Square, in Raleigh, however.
‘ The late Governor Thomas Wal
ter Bickett’s right to this signal
honor might be advanced seriously,
' it is snid by those discussing the
matter here, but for a feeling that
he has not been dead long enough
I for the state to fully appraise his
t worth as was governor. Aycock’s
i friends want the recognition now bc
-1 fore a fight looms.

Suggested by Him.
j W aMiington, .Tan. 29.— UP) —An
| unanimous favorable report oil the
! nomination of Federal Judge Harry
; H. Anderson, of the western Tennes
| see district, was ordered today by the
j Senate judiciary committee,
j The action was taken after a sub
' committee which investigated the
charges against the nominee had re
j ported that nothing was found refiect
; ing on Judge Anderson's morals, in
! tegrity and standing in the commun
jity. '
“We came to the conclusion,’’ said
| Senator Means. Republican, of Colo
| rado. head of tie committee, “that he
! disliked the criminal side of the court,
and was in the habit of listening to
the district nttorney who is the worst
you can possibly get and who ought to
be removed."
S. E. Murray is the district at
torney referred to. On the stand be
fore the sub-committee he assumed all
responsibility for the methods cm-!
ployed in disposing of a number of
prohibition and other cases.
“It was pointed out to Judge An
derson,’’ Senator Means continued,
“that he would have to give as much
attention to criminal cases as civil
cases.
“Tnere was then left only the ques
tion of mental competency. Judge
Anderson took the stand .
a splendid showing. I am frank to
say that if he had not testified the
recommendation of the committee
would be directly opposite from what
it is now.’’
TWO MORE ARRESTED
IN BURGESS'MURDER
Caleb Ingram and Mr* Bonnie Ucd
lord Are Charged With Complicity
In the Case.
Asheville. Jan. 28—Caleb Ingram,
employe of the city, and Mrs. Bonnie
Ledford, who found the body of Mrs.
Annie May Burgers a week ago this
morning are tonight held in the
county jail, charged with complicity
in the murder. Their arrests bring
the murder of those held in the case
up to three, William Davis having
been held for some time.
Ingram was the man who first re
ported signs of the murder and this
fact has made his connection with
it by police more devious. Recently
police learned ‘that the fatal blow
was probably struck with a bottle
rather than au iron pipe, as was at
first believed, and they also learned
that Ingram had carried the Ledford
woman home shortly before he re
ported finding blood on a street
corner. His nervousness on being
questioned after finding of the body
led him to be suspected, but- the
authorities have refused to allow
this to be published until their case
against him was sufficiently worked
up. They are still reticent with
newspaper men regarding the case,
and this has led to the belief that
further developments are imminent.
Witnesses have been found, offi
cials say, who will state that Davis,
Mrs. Burgess, lugram and Mrs. Led
ford composed" a theater and auto
mobile party on the night of the
murder and other witnesses will tes
tify ns to quarre’.iug between Davis
and Mrs. Burgess in a theater and a
brawl between at least three mem
bers of the party near the scene of
the crime.
