MARKING HISTORIC SITES
’ Increasing Interest in This of People
$ All Over the State.
j i Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. June 1. —The marking nnd
preservation of historie sites in the
stnte was advocated by Governor A.
r W. Mcls>an on his return from Har
nett eotjnty, where he was t'.ie chief
speaker of the dedication of a mark
, er to the memory of Colonel Alex
tnnder McAllister, of Revolutionary
fame, ■ The increasing interest which
. people and organizations over the
state are taking in movement of this
sort was highly commended by die
governor, but lie called attention to
the need for more interest and nctiv
-1 ity along this line, citing numerous
; instances pf places and localities of
■ great historical significance whicli to
■ the present time have gone unmarked.
I “1 am glad to note," the governor
■ commented, "a marked increase in t’iie
interest of the people of Xortli Caro
lina in historical matters and things
’ of historic interest. Many places are
now being marked with tablets and
1 appropriate markers that for years
have been judged of but slight inter
est. but which now are beginning to
be realized of really great wort’ii and
moment. In many instances mark
ers are being put up along the various
highways calling attention to events
of interest tlmt happened at or near
the spots indicated. But as yet North
Carolina cannot begin to equal other
states in this particular.
"In New England nnd many north
ern state*!, every spot of historic in
terest is marked nnd many times mag
nified far bejond its real (listorical
significance. Hundreds of spots in
North Carolina have far more his
toric background and genuine inter
est. yet these for the most part are
still without anything to indicate to
the public their interest or worth.
“I hope t'aat in the next few years
historical societies and the various
communities in or near whicli these
interesting spots are located, will see
thnt every one of these historic places
is prominently and appropriately
marked. It should be done as a
matter of botti local and, state pride
and the results are sure to rebound
to the advantages of the communities
dTeeting the murkers.
“I am sure that the.&ate highway
commission will be glad to co-operafe
with any community in providing a
suitable locution for placing these
markers." the governor concluded.
Several examples were cited by ttie
governor with regard to the places
that were not marked. He called
attention to the fact that the grave
of Governor John Owen was but a
few yards off the highway between
Fayetteville and Elizabeth City, as
it passes through Bladen county, yet
there is nothing at the spot to indi
cate to the thousands of people who
pass the spot that there is anything
there of historical interest. Atten
tion was also called to the fact that
only recently had interest been aroused
iu the burial place of Colonel Alex
ander McAllister, pointing to the fact
that the exact .location of his grave
in the old Bluff churchyard had been
lost track of and that the marker
dedicated to his memory there Fri
day was on only the approximate spot
where he was buried.
Another historic spot that as yet
is unmarked is the battleground at
Guilford courthouse. One of the
State's paved highways runs right
through the old battleground, the spot
where a battle of as much significance
as the battle of Concord was fought,
yet there is nothing there to tell one
of the history that wreathes the spot.
It is expected that much interest
will be taken by the various local
communities over the state in mark
ing and perpetuating the memory of
the various historical events and lo
calities in their territory.
Turkey Takes Over “Boole” Business.
Constantinople, June 1. —Today the
Turkish government' takes over the
control of the liquor business through
out the Turkish dominions. The
government will control the manufac
ture and sale of douzico, the national
drink, which resembles anißeed cor
dial, and aslo light wines and beers
and regulate the importation and sale
of other alcoholic beverages. Five
per cent, of the liquor revenue will
be devoted to the development of avia
tion, the army and navy.
More Turks have recently gone in
to the liquor business than ever be-
Jore in Turkey’s history. They have
displaced the Greeks as owners of sa
loons and other liquor establishments
in Constantinople, as well as in man
ufacturing alcoholics. The Moslen
prohibitionists regretfully admit the
increasing inclination of the Turks
toward strong drink.

Man Who Sent the Bomb
Which Killed Three Per
sons Gets Speedy Action
in Court in Michigan.
JUDGE REGRETS
THE SENTENCE
Said Prisoner Deserved to
Pay With Life But He
Could Not Under State
Laws of Michigan.
Muskegon, Mich., June I.—(/P)
Circuit Judge John Vanderwert to
day sentenced Asak Bartlett. Blue
Lake township constable, to life im
prisonment for the murder of August
Krubaeeh, his daughter Jeanette and
her fiance, William Franke, killed by
a bomb Thursday.
Judge Vanderwert expressed regret
that the state law does not provide for
capital punishment.
"You should be sentenced to death,"
Judge Vanderwert said, "but it is
useless for me to talk to you. Maybe
in later years you will real'ze some
thing of the dastardly crime you have
committed. The sentence is that you
be confined in the state house of cor
rection at Marquette for the rest of
your life.”
Bartlett was secretly arraigned
shortly after 8 o'clock this morning
and then was taken into circuit court.
The prisoner wore his old army uni
form, being a world war veteran.
Judge Vanderwert talked with him
in private a few minutes and then
imposed sentence.
Bartlett, who admitted mailing the
bomb because of political enmity to
ward Krubaeeh wlio was township
supervisor, showed no emotion and
bowed politely to the judge when the
sentence was pronounced.
The arraignment and sentence came
so early that crowds that it had been
feared might make trouble, because
of the strong feeling against Bartlett,
hardly had begun to form.
Water Conditions at State Hospital.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. June I.—Survey of the
water supply conditions at the State
institutions in Morgan ton- *ud in par
ticular at Vie State Hospital for the
Insane there, has just been completed
by Prof. Thorndyke Seville, chief of
tile water resources division of the
department of conservation and de
velopment at the request of Gov. A.
W. McLean.
It will be recalled that last year the
water supply of the State institutions
at Morganton became very low during
tlie drought and in tile full the date
of opening tlic School for the Blind
was postponed, as file water usually
needed by the school was needed to
keep the hospital in operation. It
was ns a result of this Condition that
tlie governor asked this present sur
vey to be made.
Prof. Seville reports that already
as a result of the dry wenther this
spring, the water supply of the State
Hospital is beginning to show signs
of a shortage pointing to the same
conditions this summer as last if
steps are not taken at once to pro
vide for an emergency supply.
Several recommendations for tlie*
acquiring of this emergency water
supply are containned in this report
which probably will be followed out
in the near future, Governor McXean
said.
Steer Clear of Salary I<oan Sharks.
(By International Service)
Atlanta, Ga., June I.—He earns
SOO a month and lie owes only $7-5.
This indebtedness is to "salary
buying" loan sharks to which each
months he pays $21.85 interest—more
than one-third of his wages. And
he never touches the principal.
He lias been paying interest at this
rate for three years. The amount
wasn’t so enormous until last year
when tlie necessity of satisfying the
demands of the money lenders forced
him to go and borrow more.
For the loan sharks know that the
workman's job will be forfeited by
the corporation for which he works
when they go to his employer with
their claim.
This was only one of the cases de
scribed by J. L. R. Boyd, general
counsel for the Atlanta Legal Aid So
ciety, who is preparing to file an in
junction suit against tlie workmen's
creditors.
The injunction suits filed for this
workman and others are bused on the
contention that “salary buying" is
merely a device to cover a loan at
rates which otherwise would be '
deemed usurious.
Killed Lover While He Was Asleep.
(By International News Service)
Thomaston, Ga., June I.—Follow
ing a lovers’ quarrel while they were
en route to Alabama, where they were
to be married, Mrs. Cleo Stringtield,
pretty 25-year-old Macon widow,

Bostick’s pillow, thrust the muzzle
into his mouth, and fired.
This, according to an alleged con
fession read before a coroner’s jutar
here, is Mrs. Stringfie’.d's version of
the crime for which she has been or
dered held for the Upson county
grand jury, which meets in July.
The young widow waited until her
lover fell asleep and then, after pon
dering over her predicament, went to
his room in a hdtel here, and ended

FIRST FLARE-UP IN TIIE

HEAD IN SKY AND
FEET ON THE GROUND
Such Was (he Advice Given Davidson
Graduates by Mr. Scales.
Davidson. June I.— UP) —“Live with
your heads in the sun-lit sky and your
feet on the ground."
Such was the advice given the grad
uating class of Davidson College to
day b.v A. M. Scales, of Greensboro,
delivering the annual literary address
at The institution. His subject was
"Optimism." and he maintained that
optimism is back of all achievement.
“Optimism is the original name of
Leinbitz's doctrine that the world is
the best possible world,” he said,
“based on the argument that God be
ing all-wise must know all possible
worlds: being all powerful, must be
able to creat whatsoever He might
choose; and being all God must choose
the best.
"That argument stands whether
He created the world by the imme
diate fiat of His will, or whether by
that same will He built it in a
leisurely fashion throughout ten bil
lion years.
"He doubtless could have made it
b.v either method. Regardless of His
choice of eraftmanship. He made a
great job of it; so much so, that, even
He, the'Master Potter, was satisfied
with it and pronounced it good."
The speaker discussed the scientific
phenomena and the vastness and mag
nificence of them, whether created im
mediately or by evolution.
Rut evolution, he said, he was will
ing to leave to the scientists. And
added: They have walked in the foot
steps of God and have learned many
of His secrets, to the everlasting well
being of mankind.
"Instead of being pilloried by a
Christian people, scientists should be
encouraged and venerated, for they
seek the truth and we have the high
est authority for Uie statement t’aat
the truth shall make us free.
"We came to talk of optimism—
the disposition to take the most hope
ful view of life. It is a good old
world and the men and women who
would make the most of life, who
would enjoy it most, must believe
that it is a good world.
“ ‘God’s in His Heaven—
All’s right with the world.’
“Many there are who have their
j hope of happiness centered on heaven
alone, but you should remember that
the same God who has told us that
heaven is perfect has also told us
that this world is good.
“You young gentlemen are at the
beginning of a great adventure.
Would you be great, successful, of
service to your fellowman, then be
optimists. The world lias little to
offer the grouch. This does not
mean, of course, that you are to live
in a fool’s paradise, but that you
should live with your heads in the J
sun-lit sky and your feet on the!
ground.
"The dictionary tells us that the;
optimist is opposed to the pessimist,
and this verily is literally true.
"Front the beginning of life to its
close tfie optimist must oppose—must I
fight the pessimist.
"Pessimism,” Mr. Scales declared,
"is found in fear, while optimism is
rooted in faith.”
The speaker then launched into a
discussion of North Carolina, and de
clared that her every move forward]
bad been brought about by the op- ;
timist, and that the pessimists bad i
fought every progressive move.
Among the progressive steps the!
cited that had been accomplished by !
the optimists of North Carolina, de
spite the bitter opposition of the lies
simists, who feared that tfre state i
would be ruined, were popular educa- [
tion, good roads, a greater appropria-:
tion for the University, the Christian i
education movement, the construction j
of the institutions for the unfortu-1
nutc, and agrieulaural prosperity. |
One thing defeated by the optimists,
said Mr. Scales, was the port bill of
the Morrison administration.
Mr. Scales mentioned leaders in
various fields of endeavor in Nor‘h |
Carolina, and declared that they vwiv
all ojVtimistE.
There is much yet to be done in ;fie
improvement of agriculture, said Mr.
Sea •Oh. Ho emphasized the develop
ment of the livestock industry,_ nnd
:hc grow.ng by the farmer of his own
foodstuffs and feedstuffs.
Mrs- Nicholas Longworth, former

SWEEPING INVESTIGATION
OF ALABAMA FEUDS
Is Expected to Be Made in the Near
Future.
(By International News Service)
Birmingham. Ala., June I.—As a
result of the slaying of John Jones,
state law enforcement officer, a sweep
ing investigation of Alabama political
feuds is expected to be made in the
near future, according to reports
reaching here from Montgomery.
Meanwhile, both political and per
sonal animosities are being bared b.v
a detail of officers assigned to probe
the shooting. Dewey Barrett and By
ron Shirley, deputy sheriffs, charged
wntli the Jones killing, are being held
in jail 'here pending their trial, which
has been set for the week of June
14th.
The law enforcement officer was
slain on the Montgomery highway
near Birmingham. According to re
ports, Jones was in company with J.
C. Tate, deputy sheriff, and three
women. The three girls have been
identified as Miss Thelma Shipp and
31is« Josephine McManus, both of
Birmingham, and Mrs. Louise Scott.
Investigators do not believe, how
ever, that any of the three women
were primarily the 7aose of the; end
ing of Jones' spectacular career. The
killing, it is alleged. WWW the ••culmi
nation of a smouldering feud that has
split law enforcement officers of the
county into two bitter factions.
From their cell ill the county bas
tiie. Barrett and Shirley issued a
statement that they shot Jones in
self-defense. Their act, they said,
was justifiable.
Propagating Striped Bass.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. June 1. —Edenton, on Al
bemarle Sound, is one of the only two
points in the United States where the
federal government is successfully
propagating striped bass, shad and
roekfish, according to word just made
public by one of the state departments
here, received from the Bureau of
Fisheries, Washington. The one oth
er point at which the propagation of
these fish is being carried on is at
Bryan’s Point station, Potomac Riv
er.
This information was eontainued in
a letter replying to an inquiry as to
why the propagation of these fish in
the Roanoke River had been discon
tinued. .Shad and roekfish have be
come very scarce owing to the dump
ing of waste matter from mills and
