Cheyenne, Wyo., July 26.—OP)— The United States is faced with tlree outstanding problems, law enforce ment, conservation of natural re sources, and control of nationwide corporate monopolies, Gov. Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, told the twelfth annual eonference of gover nors in an address today. He classed law enforcement as the “moral problem of the nation’’ and the conservation of natnral resources as the greatest economic problem in the United States. “In dealing with law enforcement there must be no twilight zone be tween state and federal authorities where the enemies of society might hide themselves and escape punish ment.” he said. “Neither ean we suffer the state-made nullification of our national constitution whether un der the guise of n state referendum or by the failure of the state to ex ercise its co-ordinate powers. ■ “I have small sympathy with the view whii'.i regards every new use of the federal power as necessarily an usurpation of rights properly belong ing to the states. The recent out burst ngainst President Coolidge's or der for the co-operntive use of state and local authorities in law enforce ment is a typical example. Federal and state action should be co-opera tive, not hostile.” [ FIGHT ON OLD BLUE LAWS.

Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 26.—North Caroling ' day at the sesquicentennial at Phil adelphia has been set for October 11th instead of October 6th, at the request of the American Legion in North Carolina, it has been an nounced by Governor A. W. McLean. October 11th is the opening day of the American Legion convention in i Philadelphia, and it was thought that a larger number of North Carolinians . would be iu Philadelphia then than i at any other time, i Recently the Daughters of the ■ American Revolution in the state - asked that North Carolina day be changed to some date in the last two I weeks of October, but as Governor i McLean bad already teuatively agreed > to fix the date on October 11th if the ' date could be changed at all, it was : not possible to conform with the - Wishes of the D.

The fast swelling note of the hal lelujah chorus from Handel's “Mes siah” had not died away before the popular pastor launched into hisser , mon on the subject, "The Old Rugged , Cross,” before a congregation which packed the auditorium and overflowed into the vestibules and yards. Dr. Chappell, a slight little man, member of a family long distinguished in southern Methodism, avoided any i reference to the affair which began i with his arrest in Memphis. Tenn., on a disorderly conduct charge and came to a climax with the declaration of thirteen ministers at Statesville Tues day that he was innocent of immor ality, falsehood and attempted brib ery. Special music, the huge congrega tion, a comment in the printed church bulletin, and the fervent reception which made the Asheville pstor its • center after the service, testified to the dramatic interest in the minister’s hoine-coming and the loyal support which the people have pressed upon 'aim. Church Completely Loyal. ' “We believe iq him; we love him, , and we’ll stay with him to the last man,” a spokesman for the board of stewards declared in summing up the attitude of the church toward Dr. Chappell. Obviously' tired and strained under the burden of recent experiences, Dr. Chappell yet spoke with great vigor and vocal clarity, pacing with dyna | mic enrvous energy to and fro in his pulpit as he delivered his 20-minute message. A demonstration by the stewards of the church, planned for the open ; ing of the service, was abandoned when the crowded doors and aisles | seemed impassable. The stewards ' had expected to march in the rear of 1 the minister when he entered and sit 1 behind him as a symbol of their sup port. [ Friends of Dr. Chappell feared that [ the culminating strain of the trial and sermon might result in an- emo -1 tional breakdown. Continuous smiles on his face and words or thanks from his hips as hundreds greeted him af ter the service were the only indica -1 lions of his emotion. Passing in line for fifteen minutes, the crowd shook the pastor’s hand and patted him on the back with con gratulatory expressions while many men embraced him. His wife, stand ing near him, was often in encircling arms of 'the women. She, too, was smiling her appreciation. Greeted by Governor Brough. Among the first to greet the preach er before he left the pulpit was Chas. ' Hillman Brough, former governor of Arkansas, who knew Dr. Chappell in : his Fayetteville ministry. Although he had taken no part in 1 the preliminary services. Dr. Chap -1 pell after his sermon opened the doors of the church and received five 1 new members by letter. » The benediction was pronounced by * Dr. H. K. Boyer, pastor at Shelby, I who conducted Dr. Chapell’s defense 1 before the board of ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Dr. Chappell has referrd to the ecclesiastical proceedinjs ' against him as “my Gefhsemane.” The weekly church bulletin coi tained this comment, signed by f. 1 Foster Barnes, director of music aid, I religious education in the Cental ’ Church: “We feel sure there is joy n heaven as on earth in the'fact thit one of God’s workmen has been r- I stored to his church and his servie.

Central Church, whose membershp numbers a large part of the fashioi able folk of Asheville, was filled te ’ fore the preaching hour and scons were turned away after chairs in tie aisles, the galleries and stunding roan about the walls had been oceupid. AVomen formed the great majority if the gathering. Perhaps 1,500 persois were inside the auditorium. The great throng was silent is the choir, directed by Sir.

Scores without the church houie 1 heard the music rejoice: “For the Lord God onmipoteit I reigneth. 1 “And he shall reign King of Kinjs J and Lord of Lords. “Forever. “Hallelujah.” With the Inst sound of the mush, Dr. Chappell, appearing before hs j people for the 'first time in more then two months, was on his feet. ki , direct and simple language he ai nouneeij his subject, “The.Old Ruggal Cross,” and his text reading fron Gallatians chapter vs, a part of tie 14th verse; “But God forbid that I | glory save in the cross of the Lori Jesus Christ.” , The preacher sat down without ro tentation at the conclusion of his set , mon and the service proceeded wi(h ' the singing of two members of tie choir, of “The Old Rugged Cross.’ 4 The congregation sang “In the Crom of Christ 1 Glory.” after the past!}- had issued the customary invitation | for membership. , A dense throng crowded down to tlie altar rail as other moved out «f , the church.

Was $12,977,183.97. Tribune Raleigh Bureau Vi Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. July 26. —The credit bal ance in the State treasury at the cjose' of the first fiscal year of the [resent biennium, on -Tune 30. 1926, was $1,269,824, instead of the $1,126,- 098 as estimated, representing an in trelise of $145,426, according to the dficial stntement issued by the Bud get Bureau containing all the final fgures for the fiscal year. Perhaps of next importance to the surplus or credit balance, as Governor i. W. McLean as director of the bud -B>t prefers it to be called is the fact t.iat the net revenue collected from tlxes for the fiscal year just ended \i«n $12,972,183.97, ns compared with a' revenue of $8,434,205 collected for tie fiscal year ending June 30, 1920. she total expenditures for the year jist ended June 30, 1925. The total expenditures for the year ending June .19. 1925 were $12,616,072. Thus, the expenses of the [last year were $913,- 713 less than for the year previous, despite the fact that for the most part, particularly in institutions, the normal expenses increased. Thus this sav ing in expenditures was very largely the result of economical administra tion by the various department and in stitution heads. Thus the credit balance is the dif ference between the revenue—the in come from taxation—and the expen ditures. And in this case the revenue of the general fund exceeded the ex penditure by $1,269,824.04. The gross receipts ot general fund revenues amounted to But this total represents tihe inclus ion of institutional and departmental receipts, derived from tuition, fees, income from farms, etc., amounting to $3,248,183.97. This year represents the first year which the receipts from the various institutions have been handled through the State treasury nnd made a part of the general fund, as heretofore they have been deposit ed by each individual institution, nnd used to defray running expenses. The past year all such receipts have been reported and turned in to the State treasury, after which they have been applied as before. The net expenditures out of appro priations amounted to $11,702,359,93, which does not include the expendi ture of $3,109,967.31 expended out of the special receipts of departments and institutions, which was turned back to the departments and institu tions from which it was derived. The estimates of revenue made for tile Gem-ml Assembly amounted to $12,425,688 nnd the appropriations mad© by the General Assembly amounted to $12,983,078, the appro priations exceeding the estimated reve nue by $557,990. The actual revenues collected, however, amounted to $12,- 972,184 and resulted in appropriations exceeding actual revenues, with & final revenue deficiency at the end of the fiscal year of $11,494. The expenritures out of the appro priations amounted to $11,702,300, were less than the appropriation of $12,983,678, so that ns a result of the saving in expenditures, the balance of $1,281,318 was obtained. TJie net balance of $1,269,824 is oh tained by deducting the final revenue deficiency of $11,494 from the gross credit balance of $1,281,318. The preliminary announcement of the credit balance in the general fund at the end of the fiscal year made this balance $1,126,398, which has now been accurately determined as being $1,269,824, representing an increase of $143,426. This difference is ex plained by the fact that receipts to the amount of $21,110 in general fund revenues, were had and deposited by July 1 for which the record had not come through by July 2 when the pre liminary estimate was made. Tile dif ference is also explained by the fact that the expenditures were estimated at $11,824,670. based on the allotments for the fourth quarter. And by the time all the settlements were made with the departments and institutions and the allotments liquidated, the to tal expenditures amounted to $11,702.- 360, or a difference of $122,316. In a memorandum dealing with the financial report. Governor McLean ns Director of the Budget says: “The statement of the operations of the budget for the General Fund and resulting in the credit balance, eon templates a complete liqu'dation of tin eoinm'tment§ or liabilities of all the departments and institutions as of June 30, 1026.

International Newsreel —^ e SOUTHERN TEXTILE MILLS OPERATING GENERALLY e Many Are on Part-Time Schedule, 1 However—Hosiery Mills Are Keep i ing Fairly Busy. Durham, N- C., July 26.—Textile mills in this section are all operating, although many of them are operating only part-time. Conditions are far j from satisfactory, but there has not . been ns mucli complaint among mill men as in the last few' years. That does not mean, however, that the . manufacturers are not actively in terested in plans to better their bus . iness. There is probably more _ thought being given now than ever before to finding a solution to their problem, which is now generally rec ognized as one of over-production, not only of the plain 'gooijjj, _but al most all lines of cotton wearables. I The larger cloth mills are evident ly having the hardest time in selling ‘ their products. One of these mills j here, which makes bed lipens and h.similar products largely, is operating I I most of the time. Another big mill, I however, which makes dress goods exclusively, is able to operate hardly more than half the time. This mili, | which formerly made only plain '.good?. is now manufacturing novel -1 ties of many patterns, including rayon and rayon pictures, but finds little more demand now than former ly. The condition in hosiery mills is about the same as that in the cloth mills. Some are running all the time . and some only two-thirds of the time. Silk hosiery plants, especially the full-fashioned departments, are run ning full time—double shifts. The i demand is not altogether for the silk ; and silk mixtures, however, for at least two or three mills which manu factures only the cotton product are running all the time. These best sell ers, though, conform more or less to fashion demands. Sprightly patterns are in demand. Mills which make on ly plain cottons, even though good grades of mercerized, are the ones having the most slack time. . Jesse Wyatt Not Likely to Secure Clemency. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 26.—Despite the fact that an organized effort has been under way for several months to se cure a parole for Jesse Wyatt, he is not likely to receive clemency at the hands of Governor A.

However, the fact that he has had the case under advisement for | many weeks without rendering a de cision is regarded as an indication l that he does not expect to grant , clemency. Wyatt, a former member of the Raleigh police force, was sentenced to from eight to eighteen months in State prison following his conviction on a charge of manslaughter in eon- I nection with the shooting of Stephen Holt, an attorney of Smithfield. Holt failed to stop when ordered to do so by Wyatt, who suspected his car of being one that was being watched for as transporting liquor.
