JEWS LAMENT THE
FALL OF JERUSALEM
Black Fast Day Has Been Set Apart
for Mourning for Centuries.
New York, July 19.—Hebrews the
world over will gather at temples and
synagogues at sunset this evening to
dkber in with prayers and all the im
preesive ceremonies of the Jewish
ritual- the- 'tmn-M'ifo- Feat, which
will last until the stars appear tomor
row evening. For centuaries (fie day.
know# as the Jewish Black Fast, has
been set apart as a dny of mourning
for the race. It is the most solemn
holiday on the Jewish calendar, but,
unlike the Day of Atonement which
is regarded as the most sacred, is
more of an anniversary event, inas
much as five of the greatest national
misfortunes befell the Jewish race
on this date.
The fast commemorates the day
when the Jews were doomed to re
main in the wilderness on their way
to Palestine; the dual destruction ot
Jerusalem by Nebuchadnazzar and
Titus; the fall of Botha and, the
drawing of the plow over Jerusalem
and the Temple a year later in order
to transform the place into a Boman
colony.
During the 24 hours of the fast
the rigidly observant Jew eats and
drinks nothing. The reform Jew,
however, does not hold so tenaciously
to some of the old traditions. Dur
ing the entire holiday the orthodox
Jews devote most of their time to
prayers. ' In ail the synagogues spe
cial rituals are hefd and one of the
features is the reading of the "Kinots”
or Lamentations. In orthodox sanc
tuaries an old custom of removing the
shoes and sandals during the sol
emnities and sitting on the ground is
observed on this occasion.
In some of the European countries
were Jews are not accorded equal
rights this holiday is of specinl sig
nificance, as on this day special ser
vices are devoted to the Zionist.cause
and for centuries it has been a cus
tom of the wealthier Jews through
out Europe to make pilgrimage? to
Palestine at this time to visit the
ancestral sepulchres and the “Kosel
Hamairovi’ or the eastern wall, the
only part of the great Jewish Temple
still left intact. Since the close of
the late war and the redemption of
Palestine and Jerusalem from the
Moslems these pilgrimages have great,
ly increased in size and number.
It is also a custom for the Zionist
organisations throughout the world to
hold meetings on Tisha B’ab, for the
belief has been held among the Jews,
especially the orthodox clement, that
if Palestine ever were restored to its
original owners, the restoration would
take place on this day.
In receht years there has been in
corporated in the observance of the
day special prayers in temples and
synagogues in memory of the Jews
slain in the war. The day also has
been made the occasion for a general
appeal for aid for the millions of
Jewish sufferers in the devastated war
regions.
The nine days preceding Tisha
B’ab are known as the "solmen days”
and daring the entire period observ
ant Jews are prohibited to solemnize
marriages, visit places of amusement,
partake of meats or enjoy any form'
of recreation. It is only among tbo
strictly orthodox, however, that the
observance is carried to this extent.

GOVERNOR COMMENDED
For Refusing to Pay Any Attention
to Dudding Charges.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. July 19.—Not only is Gov
ernor A. W. McLean continuing to
receive letters commending him for
■ his action in (lie Mouse] case, but
letters are also being received com
mending him for bis refusal to pay
any attention to tile charges of E. E. j
Dudding, of the prison reform nsso-’
elation, whose charges that the State ■
prison farm at Caledonia was "11110111-1
post of hell” and that prisoners hadi
been shot in the back while shackled, |
were effectively shown to be false by
The Tribune correspondent recently,
following the printing of Dudding’s
charges in a Raleigh morning news
paper.
In one of these letters to the gov
ernor James H. Holloway, of Ridge
way, N. C., says : v
“Another thing which I especially
desire to commend you for Is your ap- -
tfonfe- to XSa prison
reform jackass. He has'libcllAl the
State before and almost got away
wi(h it, but you put a spoke in his
wheel right off the bat when you re
fused to dignify his false insinua
tions by any Official notice whatso
ever. I travel all over .this state, as 1
you know, and I have yet to see one
single case of cruel or inhuman treat
ment of prisoners.
“I have a brother who travels much
in North Carolina and he was at my
home tlie past week. The paper
containing Budding's charges of cruel
ty against the prison farm manage
ment came while he was here and he
was very indignant and told ine that
he was at the farm last week and
went there frequently and that never
in 'his life had he seen a finer or more
attractive place. He remarked that
it was a shame that such trouble
makers should be allowed to run at
large. lam certainly glad you re
fused him any encouragement in his
efforts to discredit our good state’s
name and reputation.”

BANKING SITUATION
IN STATE SOUNDER
No Danger of Georgia Bank Failures
Having Any Effect on North Caro
lina Banks.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. July 19.—The whole bank
ing situation in North Carolina now
iN sounder now than it has been at
any time within the past six years,
j John Mitchell, State bank examiner
1 said. When asked if there was auy
. danger of the Georgia bank failures
j having any effect upon North Caro
i lina banks.
I “There is not present in North
Carolina any system of chain bank
ing which could produce a situation
similar to that which has recently
developed in the state of Georgia,”
said Mr. Miteheil. “So far as has
been ascertained, the relationship ex
isting between banks of this state
afid the bonks in Georgia, is of sqch
a nature that no harm to North Caro-
Jiua banks can possibly result frotn
the Ovwgia failures. t**,-
“The whoie banking situation over
the state is sounder now than it has
been at any time within the past six
years. There is no occasion for
alarm. The banking structure of the |
state is sound and'merits the full I
confidence of the public,” Mr. Miteheil !
concluded.

SEEKING CORRECT
THEORY TO SOLVE
MALLETT MURDER
From One of Four Clear-
Cut Theories the Officers
Hope to Get Evidence
Enough to Trap Slayers.
I CRIME FIGHT IS
j BELIEVED REASON
Editor Had Been Fighting
j Vice in Canton and His
Enemies Are Thought to
Have Killed Him.
Canton, 0.. July I!).—( A *)—From
.one of four clear-cut theories in the i
mnrder of Don K. Mellett, Canton i
publisher, authorities expect to deduce ;
evidence sufficient to trap the slay
ers.
The most promising clue is the tele
phone call received by Mellett a week
ago last night, warning him of as
sassination and describing to him al
most to t'.te letter the manner in which
occurred four days later.
Rewards totalling $25,275 for the
apprehension and conviction of the
slayer may bring in the definite clue
for which authorities have been grop
ing since the murder shortly after
midnight Friday morning. , i
In an apparently imminent strug- l
gle for a political balance of power ]
in this city, factional strife it is be- ]
tieved may become so bitter that val
uable information may be made avail- t
able.
Spite work among members of the 1
underworld at whose doors the crime i
Mas been laid may bring out the de- i
sired lead.
Finally there may be some good i
clue heretofore uncovered which will I
come to light at any moment, and i
clear up the mystery.
As public sentiment in church and ;
civil circles crystallized yesterday in
to a campaign "to clean up Canton”
ns a result of the publicity given the
murder, a petition was prepared to j
Governor Donahey imploring him to ,
open a separate secret inquiry. Mel- .
left’s murder from the first has been |
considered the result of his editorial i
and personal activities against vice ,

Seventy Picked Braves Have Been 1 1
Dancing Since Saturday. |
| I’ocatelo, Idaho, July 19.—OP)—
! With aged braves dropping from ex- *
I hnustion three score Bannock and
Shoshone tribesmen today continued ■
to dance about a groteque ' totem pole
in their efforts to win the favor of,
the sun god for another year. Starrt- j
ing at sunset Saturday, seventy se-1
lected tribesmen began slowly to have'
about the totem pole on the dance, t
grounds at the Big Bend and Port-1
neus River. The dancers represent r
more than 1,000 Indians from the !
Fort Hall reservation, and are as
sembled for the dance for the first
time in four years. The present pow
wow was permitted by reservation
officials in condition that the Indians
would refrain from former barbaric '
practices.
Wearing only a small banket held
about the waist by a beaded belt, and
a weasel pelt suspended from the
neck, the dancers have been painted
by their medicine men with fantastic
designs supposed to please the great
spirit. Thus lightly attirde, they
hop about to the beat of tom toms,
the shrill blast of birch whistles, and
the chanting of their sqrtaws.

Albemarle. July 19.—CP)—A sixth
death in the Stanly County prison
system was laid to Nevin C. Cranford

NORTH CAROLINA IS
SHORT ON PUBLIC LIBRARIES j
Has Only a Fraction Over One Per ■
I Cent, of the Libraries at the Coun- 1
I try.
| Raleigh, N. C„ July 19.—(A>)—
| While North Carolina, with more
, than two per cent, of the nation's
: population, pays the fifth greatest
I Federal taxes among the states, she
I has only a fraction over one per cent,
of the public libraries of the country,
figures compiled by the American Li
brary Association and printed in the
current issue of the North Carolina
Library Bulletin show.
Also while there are 9,706 iiersons
per library in the service areas of all
libraries of the nation as a whole,
there are 10,615 jiersons per library
in North Carolina.
North Carolina has only 09 libra
ries, operated by both public and pri
vate associations, while the nation
has 6.516. Os the North Carolina li
braries, 32 are tax supported and 37
are supported by associations. In the
service areas of the libraries of the
country there are 63,244.970 persons.
In the same areas in North Carolina
there are 732,442.
Out of the total of 3,065 counties
in the country, last year 222 coun
ties silent public funds for library
service. In North Carolina 12 out of
the 100 counties spent public funds.
North Carolina's poor showing,
however, may be attributed to the fact
that 70 per cent, of the total popula
tipn is without local library service
while the percentage for the United
States and Canada without such ser
vice is 46.
This state's rural population, how
ever, is as well cared for as the rural
population of the United States, the
Library Commission points out. For
ty-seven of North Carolina's counties
are entirely without libraries, and the
same is true of counties in other
states.

WILL THE SURVEY BE, MADE?
To Survey or Not to Survey Seems ‘
Still to Be the Question.
Tribune Bureau.
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh. July 19.—T0 survey or
not to survey still seems to be the 1
question. j
For once again has the Welfare j
Commission met and adjourned and
departed with secrecy the watch- *
word. For not a comment will any of '
the members make with the regard *
to the deliberations concerning the 1
electing of a personnel for the Worn- 1
en in Industry survey. It was pre
dicted a week ago that full announce- ‘
ment of all details would be made
"within a day or two." Then each
day found a new postponement. Aft- 1
er the meeting Thursday it was said
that “it was almost certain that an
agreement would be reached Satur
day.” But when the commission ad- 1
jourued Saturday afternoon, after a <
somewhat elongated session, at part }
of which Governor McLean was '
present, there still was no announce- I
meut forthcoming, other than that i
“no decision had been reached.” I
"v* So* there- the -matter »tiH -rests: •<
It was intimated that another l
session of the commission would be <
called on Monday, Tuesday, or Wed
nesday, or sometime in the future— i
but no definite date has been fixed, i
And in the meantime public senti- I
ment in favor of the survey, which
j a month ago was whole-heartedly in
favor of it. has hit the toboggan- At <
! present, as far as the public general- ;
Ily is concerned, no one gives a eon
! tinental whether the survey is made
Inow or not.
Attention now is turning to the .
question of who is causing the de
lay. Is Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson.
Commissioner of Child Welfare, and
chairman of the commission, to
blame for the delay, as has been
claimed for several days, is her re- j
pugnance for E. F. Carter, executive
secretary of the commission, and her
opposition to his plans for conduct
ing t'ae survey still holding the .
machinery in idleness Has the in- ,
jection of the question of having the
Society departments of the State
University and of State College
further complicated matters? Nobody '
knows—that is. no one will admit ■
knowledge of the situation. And
when any member of the commission
is approached, merely the echo
answers.
Not that the members of the com- '
mission would not like to make a
statement. Both A. T- Allen, superin
tendent of Public Instruction, and
Dr. G. M. Cooper, acting secretary
of the State Board of Health, looked
as of they would give almost any
thing to spill the whole works and
get it off their minds. Saturday after
noon when questioned hy newspaper
men soy about the one-hundredth
time this week. Mrs. Johnson even
admitted that nothing would please
her more than to make a statement
relative to the situation. But because
all three members of the commission
have pledged themselves to the Gov
ernor that they will not discuss the
matter until everything has been te
dded. And it looks as if that may Be
a long time.
Although Governor McLean denies
that he has been called on to act as
a referee, it is pretty generally un
derstood that if he has not started
umpiring the situation already—as
seems indicated by the fact that he
has attended the last two meetings
of the commission—he is pretty like
ly to have to call a few strikes yet if
l the matter is to be settled.
It is also evident that the mem
bers of the commission realize the
fact that the delay, with its rumors
of politics and petty grievances, has
already materially injured the pros
pects for the survey in that it has
■ shaken public confidence somewhat.
1 Consequently it is expected by those
t in closer touch with the situation
that matters will be amicably ad
! justed and that right shortly.
