State Republican Execu

J. J. Britt, of Asheville, is
Most Frequently Men

State Capital Bureau of
The Concord Daily Tribune
Sir Walter Hotel Lobby
Raleigh, April 19.—A successor to
Charles A. Cannon as Republican
nominee for United States Senator
will be chosen at a meeting of the
Republican State executive committee
called by Brownlow Jackson, State
chnlrman, for next Thursday in the
O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro.
If the Republican leaders them
selves know who the choice will be.
they nre keeping it silent, but, in dis
cussions, J. J. Britt, of Asfievilie.
chairman of the last convention, is
most frequently mentioned. It seems
fairly certain that he would be ac
ceptable to all factions of the State
Republican party, if factions may be
said to exist after the love feast that
concluded the Durham convention.
The principal question is whether or
not the nomination would he aceept
hb’.e to Mr. Britt.
He already is well cared for on the
legal staff of the prohibition enforce
ment staff in Washington. He has
one successful major election cam
paign to his credit and. to the outsid
er. it appears that only an exaggerat
ed sense of loyalty to the party could
induce him to accept the nomination.
That feeling is heightened by the fact
that he already has consented to run
for chief justice of the State supreme
court. To run for senator can only
be n sacrifice, for the odds are ten
to one against the Republican nomi
nee, whoever he may be, winning out
over either Senator Overman or Rob
ert R. Reynolds. It just isn’t is
the scheme of things and, furthermore,
it doesn't seem to pay to tempt the
lightning in that fashion. At least
- A. A. (Mike) Whitener. the biennial
bnrit olft'Hlflt, doesn’t seem td hare
found that it does. Gubernatorial
candidates frequently find pots of
gold, in the form of federal judge
ships at the end of the rainbow, but
there seems to be no such solace for
those who consent to joust for a sen
atorial toga.
Should Mr. Britt be unahle to doge
the hand of fate, there still will re
main a vacancy on the ticket where
his name would have appeared as nom
inee for chief justice of the supreme
court, by virtue of the action taken
at the State convention. .That va
cancy. should it occur, will, of course,
be filled by the executive committee
which, also, will nominate a third
candidate for associate justice, to ac
company H. F. Seawell and H. R.
Htarbuck, the convention’s nominees,
on the long, hard road to nowhere.
It will be much easier to find an
acceptable candidate for chief justice
than for senator, so that bridge prob
ably will be crossed when it is
reached and no sleep lost over it in
the interim.
Prompt action on the part of the
nominees named by the State com
mittee will be necessary, as they will
have only two days in which to file
their candidacies with the State board
of elections before the lists are closed
Saturday.
Thursday's meeting of the executive
committee will be the first under the
new plan of organization adopted by
the State convention more than a
week ago. There will be four mem
bers from each congressional district,
or from as many as have held their
conventions and jiamed their repre
sentatives, the State chairman, the
national committeeman, J. J. Hayes,
the associate committeeman and Mr.
Britt who, as convention chairman,
is an ex-officio member.
The full personnel of the commit
tee probably will not be known by
Thursday, as one district convention
is scheduled for Friday. Others will
be held earlier this week.
Another item of business facing the
committee will be the recommending
of a successor .to Brownlow Jackson,
who has resigned as marshal of the
western district to devote his time
and energies to his new duties as
State chairman.

A DAY OF ANNIVERSARIES
April 19th One of Greatest Days in
American History.
Washington, D. C.. April 19.—1 n i
the whole history of the United State* ,
and in the annals of the American
colonies before independence was
achieved, no other date has figured
so conspicuously as has the 19th day
of April. From earliest times this
date appears linked with event* of
the greatest importance to the nation
and more especially does it appear gin
the war records of the country.
The'birth of Rober Sherman, a
Conneetleut signer of the Declara
tion of Independence, and the famous
speech of Edmund Burke against tax
ing the American colonies were pre-
Revolutionary events which came on
April 19th.
“It was 1 by the village clock” 151
years ago this morning when Paul
Revere galloped into Lexington to
rouse the Minute Men for the first
fighting in the war for independence.
Later in the same day came the en
gagements at Lexington and Concord
and the firing of "the shots that were
beard round the world.”
On April 19, 1872, Holland wns
one of the first of the nations to ac
knowledge tile independence of the
United States. One year later, on
April 19, 1783, the cessation of hos
tilities with Great Britain was pro
claimed in the American army, just
eight years after the commencement
of the war.
On the 19th of April in 1850 there
was a more peaceful meeting of the
United States and Great Britain,
when John M. Clayton, the secretary
of state, and Sir Henry Lytton Bul
wer, the British minister, signed the
treaty by which the two nations
agreed that neither should alone con
1, trol the proposed ship canal through
, Central America, or erect fortifica
* tions in that country,
i In the Civil War, as In the Revo
. lution, April 19th saw the first shed
, ding of blood—the attack on the sixth
■ Massachusetts infantry in the streets
.of Baltimore in 1861. Fort Suipter
> had fallen some weeks before and hos
tilities were already fairly commenced
’ in the great conflict between the
States, but historians are generally
agreed that there had been no actual
bloodshed until the Massachusetts
troops on their way to Washington
were attacked J>y a mob while march
ing through the streets of the Mary
land city on the anniversary of the
battle of Lexington.
The 19th of April also played its
part in the Spanish-American war,
aa it was on that date in 1898 that
the nation formally made known its
intention to take up arms in resolu
tions adopted by Congress declaring
Cuba independent and directing the
President to use the forces of the
United States to put an end to Span
ish authority in the island.
Again, in 1917, the first American
shot was fired in the World War,
when the naval crew of the United
States merchantman Magnolia, while
approaching the British coast, fired j
upon a German submarine and i* be- (
lleved to h*ve destroyed it. '
One year later, km the 19th of April \
(1018), the first important engage
ment in which American troops par
ticipated in tbe great war occurred
at Seicheprey.

ney General Sargent today reported

Justice had spent $01,312 in tbe un

Boston, April 19.*— (A 3 ) —History '
turned back 151 years here today. 1
Once more two warning beacons Hash- 1

From Volcano’s Crater.
Hilo, T. IL. April 19.— iA *)—T.env- i
ing a village buried ill its wake, a
stream of lava continued to shoot
forth from the volcano Maunn Loa
yesterday, beating a fiery path from
the 8,000 foot level of the crater down
io the sea.
Engulfed under 50 feet of lava, the
community of Hoopula was covered
by the molten mass. Fifteen build
ings were destroyed. The i*ost office
was The last to go.’ It 'burst into
flames at 8:30 n. m. Then the rac
ing mass coursed its path to the sea,
sending fortli a charge of steam as it
struck the water. As the lava con
tinued to pour into the sea the ocean
started boiling until it was bubbl'ng
several hundred feet out from land.
The rampaging volcano turned a
deaf ear to the prayers of old Ha
waiian kahunas who implored Pele,
a Hawaiian goddess associated with
the volcano Kilauea not to destroy
their homes.
A series of severe earthquakes yes
terday afternoon rocked Kilauea in
which Mauna Loa 1s located. This
was followed by a series of avalanches
from the Halemnuman pit causing the
general impression, that Kilauea will
become active soon.
The flow from the Maiehlnu crater
appeared to recede last night. The
crater was covered by a heavy mist
while sections were being drenched
with rain.

BISHOP QUOTES
FROM MINISTERS
And Lay Leaders Who
Were Asked by Him For
Ideas of What Should Be
Done With Volstead Law
Washington. April 19.—049—The
drys opened their first full week of
hearings before the Senatt l prohibition
committee today by putting on the
stand Bishop James Cannon. Jr., of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, who is chairman of the legiN- j
’ative committee of the Anti-Saloon.
League,
Tabulating the result of a ques-|
tioiinuire he sent to every minister
and lay leader in his church, Bishop I
Cannon said there were very few of.
the 6,000 replies that did not in- 1
sist upon more effective government
control.
‘The suggestions made to secure
more effective enforcement of the law
are naturally varied,” he said, “but
there are very few out of the entire
number who do not insist upon cer
tain things.
“First, that to secure effective en
forcement the work must be commit
ted to those who bplieve that the pro
hibition law is a good law, that it
can and should be enforced as effec
tively as other laws of similar char
acter. such as the narcotic drug act.
"Second, it i* also insisted that
adequate salaries should be paid to
secure such men as are qualified to
enforce so important and difficult a
law.
"Third, that whatever number of
men nre necessary to properly en
force the law in any section of the
country should be provided for that
section.
“Fourth, that the government should
appropriate whatever nmount of mon
ey may be necessary to enforce the
law.
"Fifth, that more stringent penal
ties should be inflicted upon the vio
lators of the law.”
Bishop cannon told the committee
that he spoke for the third largest
protestnnt denomination in the coun
try with a membership of over 2.600,-
000. with over 2,800,000 Sunday
school pupils and about 300,000 mem
bers of young peoples societies.
Says Challenge Must Be Met.
Washington, April li).— UP) —A mil
itant call to the American govern
ment to accept the challenge of op
ponents of the Volstead act was
sounded by the dry* today before the
Senate prohibition commitee.
Speaking for the Methodist Episco
pal Chuch. South, Bishop James Can
non, Jr.,’ told the committee the law
should be enforced in the wet "New
York sector” of the East, at whatever
cost of men and money, to protect
other sections from contamination.
The wets, he said, had taken the
eommmittee hearing far a afield dur
ing their two weeks of testimony be
fore the committee, and it was time
to return to the basic question wheth
er in the country as a whole the Vol
stead method of dealing with liquor
traffic had been more effective than
any other.
Bishop Cannon, who is head of the
legislative committee of the Anti-Sa
loon League, was followed by other
officials of church and temperance or
ganizations who presented data de
signed to upset the contention of the
wets that conditions have grown worse
under the dry laws.
It was noteworthy. Bishop Camion
said, that the testimony presented by
opponents of prohibition had come al
most entirely from people living in
the New York sector, “including New
Y’ork, Connecticut, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Maryland.
“Two of these states, Maryland and
New York, have utterly refused to
pass any enforcement law." he said,
“and yet the very men in those states
who arc largely responsible for the
failure to pass an enforcement law
are the ones who are loudly and il
iogically denouncing the failure to en
force the law.”
Reviewing some of the testimony of
tile wets, he said he eonld not be made
to believe that 90 per cent, of the la
boring people of the country arc vio
lating the constitution by the manu
facture of intoxicants in their homes.

fighting equipment was called to the
scene. A short wh'le later it was dis

five-story structure. 100 yards away,
had caught fire, apparently from a
gas main connecting the two build
ings.
This fire was immediately extin

ed a harder task. Flames shot out on
the East Sycamore street side, with
such vehemence that firemen warned
several hundred residents of the Ben
