Fires Reported.
Asheville, June 11.— </P) —More
than. 100 men from the Brevard dis
trict today were fighting tire that was
raging along the old Asheville road
near Silver Greek, less than one
fourth of a mile from the boundaries
of Pisgah national forest.
Reports that the tire had attained
serious proportions were received at
the office of the IT. S. forestry ser
vice. together with a call for available
forces to aid in fighting it.
No estimate as to tne extent of the
fire was contained in the report, but
it was indicated that it had spread
over a long area that at several points
it was within a few hundred yards of
the National Forest. Supervisor M.
A. Mattoon ordered forest rangers in
the Brevard region to watch the bor
ders of Pisgah Forest, and to aid in
gelt'ng the fire under control.
Dry windy weather that for a
month has prevailed in western North
Carolina has left the section open to
a dangerous fire menace, the foresters
said. The Brevard fire is the most se
r'ous conflagration that has occurred
in the westernmost mountain seetions,
hut further east reports say that
from 1.200 to 1.500 acres of forest
laud have been burned over during
the past week. Burke and Caldwell
counties so far have suffered most.
A number of small fires were re
ported throughout Western North
Cnrollna late today.
None of these when repuortad were
of a serious nature, and all, it was in*
dicated would easily bo placed under
control.
COMMITTEE VOTES TO
ABOLISH TWO THIBDS RULE
Vote. 4* <o 10. Is Cons'dcre.l Very
Significant.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, .Tune 11.—The action of
the North Carolina Democratic execn
tixe committee in endorsing the move
ment in favor of the abolition of the
two-thirds rule by a vote of 48 to
1 1(1 is regarded as being extremely sig
nificant not only in the state itself
but in the nntion at large ns well.
Not only does it put the state on
record as being progressive and up-to
now in matters political, but it also
places the state in the forefront in
the movement to wipe out sectional
ism and the small, narrow-minded
‘Tm-it-ism” in the Democratic party
of the nation ns a whole. By this
action North Carolina democracy has
signified its willingness und intention
to joint with democracy all over the
T'nited States in building up a big
ger and better party in which the
spirit is purely democratic—and in
which majority rule is the keynote.
The most effective and convincing nr
gnment in favor of the abolition of the
two Third rule was made by Josephus
Daniels and S. M. (Sattis. of Hills
boro, while the fight against its aboli
tion was led principally by W. 1.,
Parsons, of Richmond county, and
Walter L. Siler.

1 Service of Management.
! Persons in various walks of life,
j all keenly interested in the most am-
I bitious civic project in the history of
I t'iie city as represented in the new
I Hotel Concord, visited the structure
I Thursday afternoon, inspected its mi
j mite'.y from cellar to roof and left
! with the feeling that Concord has a
| hostelry second to none in the state
in appointment, appearance and equip
ment.
Following the informn’ opening
during the afternoon more than 204)
liersons gathered around the festive
board during the evening, to add their
support, moral and financial, at the
first forrhai dinner in the new build
ing, and to s’aow their eo-operntion to
the management.
The dinner, owing to the size of the
crowd, had to be served in banquet
style in the ballroom, and of the more
than 21)0 places set only a few were
vacant. Shockholders of the holding
company, officials of the operating
company and representatives of the
public which is expected to offer the
Chief source of life to the hotel,
mingled together at the dinner, each
showing a keen disposition to carry
out bis particular work.
I>r. T. N. Spencer, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce and secretary
of the Cabarrus Fair Association, was
master of (ceremonies nt the dinner.
The first speaker was L. T. Hartsell.
Sr., one of the first men in the city
to vision a new hotel and one of the
attorneys for the holding company.
“Community Enterprise” was Mr.
Hartsell's subject and he said t'aat
after the church and the school the
spirit that resulted in the erection of
tic new hostelry is the greatest of
community enterprises. Mr. Hart
sell took occasion -to praise the food
offered at the dinner, declaring the
stenk was the best he ’had eaten since
he left No. 10 township, where he
was born and reared.
Tile man or woman who works for I
his or her city in such manner as to
produce new hotels or other needed I
things was likened unto the Good Sa- i
maritan by D. B. Coltrane, who spoke
on "Our Neighbors.” The genuine
neighbor, Mr. Co’.trane said, does not
gauge his life on the dollar and cent
standard. “He it is who strive to
serve, not for his own advancement,
but for the benefit and good of his
neighbor,” the speaker said.
G. L. Patterson, president of the |
holding company, the Concord Realty
Company, presented the hotel to the
stockholders, giving briefly some of the
history of the undertaking and de
claring in conclusion that while he
had devoted hours of time and much
energy to the work, without pay, he
had been amply rewarded by the many
expressions of commendation heard
during the day.
On behalf of-the operating company
Colonel William Foor, president of
the William Foor Hotel Operating
Corporation, accepted the building.
Concord has wrought well in the build
ing of such a structure. Colonel Foor
said, and he expressed the belief that
the project will prove successful if
the people will demonstrate in the
future the same interest they did when
they went into their pockets and pro
duced money for I tie building. “Pa
tronize the hotel," Colonel Foor said,
“for it is your hotel and its future
depends in a large measure on your
attitude toward it.”
C. Ross Wenrick, manager, was in
troduced by O. W. Donnell, general
manager of ail hotels in the Foor
chain. Mr, Wenrick graciously ex
pressed appreciation for the fine hos
pitality shown to him and his wife
during their stay here and invited
ail to make of the hotel their meeting
place.
Following the dinner the first dance
in the beautiful ballroom, which prom
ises to be the scene of many elabo
rate social events, was held, music
being furnished by the orchestra from
the Washington Duke Hotel which de
lighted the crowds during ttie after
noon and dinner.
Every department of the hotel was
inspected by the hundreds of persons
who called during the
doers were thrown open to the pub
lic at 2 o'clock and for the next three
hours there was a steady stream of
humanity passing into Hie building
Persons in the structure for the
first time were loud in their praise
of the arrangement and furnishings
of the building, while these who had
inspected the building previously found
renewed interest in the handsome sur
roundings. ,
Rooms on two floors were visited
by the guests, these being sufficient to
give a good idea of the general ar
rangement and furnishings in the bed
rooms. Many expressions of praise
were heard for the beautiful bed
spreads which were made by the Hart
sell Mills Company and which are
used on every bed in the building.
More than thirty persons registered
at the hotel Thursday and Thursday
night and they found much interest
1 and pleasure in watching the home
folks celebrate tbe opening of theii

modern hostelry. Some of the guests’;
were invited into the dining hull dur
ing the dinner.
I Visitors to the building have been !
f especially struck witli the beautiful!
| anil serviceable furniture which is,
j found throughout the building, core- ]
fill thought having been given to this j
feature when plans for the hostelry
! were made.
j From the arcade entrance on i
I through ihe lobby, dining hall, inezza-J
j nine, ballroom and up through the
five stories of bedrooms the furnis'.i
ings of the Hotel Concord arc the;
best and handsomest that money can j
buy. All furniture is in basic wni-!
nut with here and there as in the j
ballroom, gold finish is employed to
properly harmonize with the surround-1
ings.
In the lobby the usually lobby fur
niture is found. This consists of |
deeply upholstered Clairs and wide j
lounges, walnut tables in varying j
sizes and designs, and tastefully nr-j
ranged floor lamps. The uphoHtclry ;
is in varied colors and is of the finest 5
mohair and ' needle-point . patterns.
The mezzanine Jioor furniture is of
largely the same rich pattern and de
sign ns that In the lobby proper, ex
cept that tile carpet covers the en
tire floor instead of appearing in
large druggets. The dining room is
finished in fawn and old ivory with
the ceiling and upper portions of pie
walls in high lighted relief, making
a room of much beauty.
Tile 100 bedrooms in the hotel are
tastefully finished and furnished. The
rooms for the most part have modern
wooden beds of attractive design, all
in walnut. The iron boils have a
walnut finish. Easy chairs, dressers,
vanities and flanging mirrors make
ii)i the major portion of the rooms'
furniture. The rooms are arranged
singly and en suite, so that guests
singly or by party may be taken care
of in the most approved fashion.
The menu for the dinner was one
of variety and showed that the hotel,
has a steward and chef that rank
with tile best. Especially attractive
were tfie designs in which the ice
cream was served. Various flowers
and fruit were represented by the
moulded cream.

one man to Raleigh to take the regu- :
lar summer cotton grading course con
ducted by the institution. As a re
sult, it desires to give the same course ■1
this summer to a score of its cm-,
plo.ves, and asked that the course be I
brought to it. rather than it have to I
bear the greater expense of sending!
the twenty students to Raleigh. The
mill will bear the expense of the short
course.
Professor J. B. Cotner, of State
College, will have charge of tiie work,
which will be modelled after the in
struction given here. Tfie course will
begin on Monday, July 26th. he states,
immediately following the close of the
short course here on July 23rd. The
instruction nt the textile plant will
continue for two weeks.
Workers in the department of

courses offered at State College.

j New York, June 11.— UP) —The
[ selling movement responsible fnr the ~
sharp break in the cotton market yes
terday afternoon was resumed nt tfie 1
opening today which was easy nt a
decline of 7 to 17 points. The mar
ket soon showed net losses of 20 to 25 1

liquidation came from tired longs, to
gether with Southern, local and com
mission house selling on more opti
mistic views of coming crop prospects. '
while the bulk of demand was attrib
uted to covering by shorts. Combined 1
with some price fixing, however, it
proved sufficient to check the break
around 17.80 for July and 16.50 for
October, prices knowing rallies of 2

Asheville, June 10. —With ail ef
forts toward finding L. F. Staley, Buf
falo man who lias been missing for a

expressed here today that the man,
who came here a short while ago for
his health, had wandered into a lonely
spot during n walk and died. He
left the house of his landlady in the
afternoon of last Thursday, stating
that he was going out for a stroll in

staying is lcoatcd on Charlotte street,
near the foot of Sunset Mountain,
and it is possible that the man could
hnve suffered a relapse and fallen in
some secluded spot. Authorities were

hope of finding some clue as to the

Geneva, June 11. —( A >) —The June
meeting of the council of the League
of Nations has adjourned, with the
crisis surrounding the demand of Kra- ■
zil and Spain for permanent seats in
the council still acute.
Brazil lias eendered her resignation
as a member of the council in which
she holds a non-permanent seat
Spain has declined again to accept
a similar seat, her representative in
Geneva contending t’aat such atteept
anee would put Spain in the classifi
cation of a secondary power. Bra
zil's resignation was not accepted by
the council which contended that the
assembly of the league was the body
a'.one empowered to act upon it. The
leaders of the league hope that prior
to the conventing of the next session
of the council in September both
Spain and Brazil can be turned from
their present viewpoints.
It is thought that the diplomatic
efforts which will be concentrated to
induce the two countries not to take
a step which Sir Austen Chamberlain
characterized as irrevocable would of
fer promises to support both of them
for continuous re-election as tempo-
I rary members by which they would
become virtually permanent members.
| Jn league circles Brazil's position
iis interpreted as meaning that she de
j sires to withdraw from the council
iin order not to have to vote tfie elec
| tion of Germany as a permanent mem*
j ber of the council. A statement
I made, by I)r. Mello Franco, Brazil’s
i representative, that his country would
make a definite and final report to
the council's re-organization commit-1
| tee is considered as carrying the pos
sible intimation that Brazil may with- j

, tains a permanent seat.

Note Sals British Now In

i Which Show Where the
Monely Came Crom.
London. .June 11.— (A 3 ) —The Brit-J
ish government has sent.a sharp note!
to Moscow protesting nga : nst the en
deavors of the soviet ro send money to j
Great Britain during the recent gen- :
era] strike. The note sets forth the !
belief that this money was intended to
foster a movement to bring about a
change of government in Great Brit
ain.
The note declares that definite
proof now is in .the hands of the
British government that a share of the
money offered the trades union con- j
gress from Moscow during the gen
eral str : ke came from the soviet gov
ernment itself. This action, the note
states, is regarded as unjustifiable in
terference in the internal affairs of the
country, and a violation of the Angh>-
itussian trade agreement.
A second note dealing with the j
money the soviet is sending to the
British miners federation is being con
sidered by the cabinet and will prob
ably be forwarded to Moscow soon.
The British Government in this case
also contends that part of the money
is contributed by the soviet govern
ment. and not as claimed by the Rus
sian miners.

Joseph R. Grundy Tells Abouts Gifts
and Loans He Made to Candidates.
Washington, June 11.—(A s)—Jos
eph R. Grundy, president of the Penn
sylvania Manufacturers Association,
testified before the Senate campaign
funds committee today In* had eontrib-!
I uted SIB,OOO to support of the Pep- j
1 per-Frsher-Woodward ticket in this |
spring’s Pennsylvania republican pri
mary, has made various loans to the
fund during the enmiraign. and then
after the primary had loaned another
$130,000 to make a deficit.
In addition, he said, he had signed
with W. H. Folwell a note for $90,-
000 negotiated at the Corn Exchange
Bank for the same purpose.
“Then you were the angel of this
enterprise to the extent of $300,000.”
asked Senator Reed, democrat, of
Missouri, the committee cha'rman.
“Well, if that is what you call it.”
Recapitulating, Reed calculated
that Grundy had loaned $15(>;000 be
fore the primary and the same amount
afterward, without turning the S9O,- j
000 note.
His loans to tyie committee ,Grundy
said, began April 4. with $7,000 or
SB,OOO and his advances continued,
“from time to time as the bills caiue
in.” and as the expected contributions
failed to arrive.
He continued he had no idea of the
amount of bills still owed by the com
mittee. but that Colwell as treasurer,
should have a complete list.
A short time before. Grundy had
declared he was not particularly in
clined toward Senator Pepper in his
fig'iit against Representative Vare,
and Governor Pinchot for the sena
torial nomination, but had gone into
? the combination after the Mellon in
terests had decided to support Pep
per, and also throw their strength to
i John S. Fisher for governor.
. Chairman Reed asked Grundy how
he expected “to make up” the $390,-
f 000 loans.
« “We ’have had similar experiences
in the past,” Grundy replied, “and we
have come out all right.”
“You just have faith in the people
of Pennsylvania to make that up?”
r “Yes.”
