■Washington. March 10.—C/P)—
President Coolidge was asked to make
n statement on prohibition today by
Representative Black, Democrat, of
New York, who declared the question
is the "outstanding issue before us.”
The Republican party, he said,
must ta)te "responsibility for condi
tions in the liquor traffic” and “it is
time for the President as leader of
his party to straighten out hjs fol
lowers.”
“In the Republican party of New
York,” he coutiuued, “it is a question
of every man for himself. Repub
lican dry congressmen are ready to
run on the same ticket with Senator
Wadsworth, a professed wet who vot
ed for the Volstead act.
“Wadsworth thinks that the drys
ure wrong, yet he is willing to run
with them. The drys think Wads
worth is wrong now, yet they are

Trespassers on Southern Paid Usual
' Death Peualty.
Atlanta, Go., March f).—Of the
trespassers who gambled with death
on the tracks and trains of'the South
ern railway system during 11125, 128
were killed and 151 injured, accord
ing to figures for the year which have
just been completed by tte Southern’s
safety department.
While walking on troeks, 93 were
killed and 60 injured; 35 were killed
afid 87 injured while stealing rides
or “hopping” trains; and four were
injured in miscellaneous accidents.
“There is a striking constancy
about the figures recording casualties
among trespassers on the property of
Hhe Southern.” says a statement is
sued by the safety department, “which
—under the well established principle)
that, where opproiimntely the same
number of persons take the same has
nrd during different periods, about the
same number will be kil'ed and in
jured—would indicate that there has
been no substantial decreoae in tree'
passing despite all the examples that
.have been cited and the warnings
given.
“The figures for the preceding years
are as follows; 1922, 129 killed and
171 injured; 1923, 154 killed ond 178
■ injured; 1924, 130 killed and 174 in
jured. The percentage as between
casualties, to trespassers on tracks
and trains has also been fairly con
stant, 90 persons having been killed
and 60 injured while trespassing on
the Southern tracks during 1024; and
35 killed and 87 injured while tres
passing on trains, with the figures for
the otter years being very nearly the
same.”

JESSE 111 OISE
BEING TRIED HOW
Two Hours Required to Se
lect Jury From Special
Venire—The Defendant
Killed Police Officer.
Gastonia. March 10.—(A s ) —The
trial of Jesse Van Dyke of Clierry
ville, charged with the murder of Po
liceman A. L. Painter on January 14,
got underway at 11:30 today. More
tlian two hours was consumed in se
lecting a jury from a special venire
of 50 men summoned from Gastonia
and South Point townships. It is ex
pected that the trial will last until
Friday. Clyde Hoey qf Skelhjj. Ut4be
chief defense counsel, while Senator
Butler, of Gaffney. S. C., is aiding So
licitor Carpenter in the prosecution.
The court house is jammed to the
windows and doros for the trial.
The-trial of Van Dyke is the after
math of a “night of terror” at Cher
ry ville last January when the defend
ant is alleged to have attempted to
“shoot up the town." Painter was
killed, according to witnesses testify
ing before an investigating body, at
the time, by Van Dyke when the offi
cer attempted to halt the man as he
came down the street firing pistol
shots into the air.
Another man. a bystander, was
slightly wounded by one of the bul
lets.
| Van Dyke was in an intoxicated
condition at the time of the oceur-
I renee, it is said.
Deputy Sheriff Stroup was the first
■ witness called by the state. He told
the story of the shooting, saying that
he tried to prevent Van Dyke from
shooting the officer. Stroup’s testi
mony was to tte effect that he had
previously heard Van Dyke threaten
Painter.

three more bodies were located within

rescue workers were hopeful that at

were working in a section of the mine
isolated from the blast, it was thought.
The ten men brought out were in
excellent physical condition, and in re

McLEAN LIKELY TO
CALL TEXTILE SURVEY
Money Is Available for Determining
Status of Workers.
Raleigh. March 9.—Governor Mc-
Lean will return from Washington
tomorrow and will probably announce
within the next few days his deci
sion on the petition of women's organ
izations for a survey of the condi
tion of women in all occupations in
which they are employed.
The governor went to the national
capital in search of a wave length
for the broadcasting station which
is being projected for the state. The
department of commerce recently re
ported that it had no wave lengths
lengths available, and his excellency
decided on the, tria to Wnshijigftjp in ,
an effort to convince the government
officials of the justice of North Car
olina's demands for a place in the
ether.
That the request for a survey will
be granted by the governor is re
garded as probable here, although he ]
has given no intimation as to his at- ,
titude. If he does decide that it is
praeticab’e and worthwhile undertak
ing, Hie state child welfare commis
sion or the state board of health will
likely be selected to do the job.
It would be necessary to increase
the staff of either organization to
provide the necessary workers to
conduct the inquiry. The cost has
been estimated at SIO,OOO and it can
be provided from the emergency ap
propriation provided by the 1925 leg
islature.

OMAHA BANKS ARE TO ,
RAISE SERVICE CHARGE
Charges For Balances Under SIOO
to Be $1 Per Month Instead of
Fifty Cents.
■—Xeb,., March .lA.—-BaeinbEM
rlmrge in Omaha and South Omaha
banks, where the account averages
SIOO and less, will be increased from j
50 cents to sl. ncoocrding to an
agreement signed by bank executives i
recently. The only exceptions will
be ministers, churches, lodges or ben
evolent societies.
A banker gave his views on the
subject as follows:
“All Omaha and South Omaha
banks have concluded to increase the
service Charge from 50 cents to $1 ■
on. accounts where the balance main
tained averages SIOO cr less, starting,
with the month of April.
“There was some talk of increasing
the balance requirement to S2OO as
has been done in other cities, on ac
count of tiie cost of handling this
tremendously increased volume of
business. In Boston they have in
creased the balance requirement to
$300; several banks in Chicago have
a ba’ance requirement of SSOO. In
Dcs Moines, Minneapolis and Kansas
City the balance requirement is SIOO.
"There was a time when people
did not attempt to carry checking ac
counts unless their balances were
large, but the practice of using checks
in payment of accounts has become
so general that every family has at
least one checking account and some
times every members of the family,
including the children in schools, are
carrying checking account. It is
doubtful if the general public has
any idea of the tremendous volume
of checks being 'handled by the vari
ous institutions in Omaha. In pur- ,
chasing checks, it is not uncommon
to place an order for 1.000,000 checks.
Larger banks in Omaha are each
handling from 30.000 to 50,000 items ,
per day—these itms in going through
various departments arc listed usually
three times.”
