Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. Aug. 2.—The State may strike a snag in the proaecution of its cnee seeking to close the H'ghland Hospital in Asheville, operated by Dr. R. S. Carroll, ns the result of I he cancellation of hia license to prac -1 tier in the State following th“ pie ferrmg of charges of gross immor ality against him before the State board of medical examiners recently. Th'o snag consists in whether or not the judge of the Wake superior court, when the case comes to trial, will permit the introduction of the record of the proceedings before the State board of medical examiners, or wheth er the court will Insist that the wit nesses that testified then will have so appear as witnesses. If the court permits the introduc tion of the record of the secret hear ing before the medical board, well and good for the State and the de partment of -public welfare, which has caused the suit to be grougbt. But If the court insists that these same witnesses must appear in per son nt the trial that appeared before the medical board in secret session, it will be another matter. And it is evident that Dr. Carroll’s defense attorneys will do all In. their power to obtain such a ruling from the court. Although the office of the attorney general here is silent on the question alid declined to discuss any phase of it, it is known that the State will have a far more difficult time in get ting the ten or twelve women who testified at the secret hearing before the medical board to come to Raleigh to testify in open court as to the al leged immoral relations of Dr. Car roll with iiis patients than before, j The hearing before the. State medical board was secret, the testimony was given to a small group of profession al men, accustomed to talking with patients concerning matters of an in timate nature, and the names of the witnesses were carefully guarded, so that they would not be made public. And under these conditions, a num ber of former patients were persuaded to testify who otherwise probably would not have done so. ' when these same women wit nesses are called upon to take tile witness stand in an open courtroom, with a throng of curious onlookers, they nre not likely to be so willing to testify.. So it is feared that if the court insists on the personal ap pearance of witnesses, it may be a difficult matter to produce them, es pecially as a number of those at the former hearing came from a number of other states, one having been said to have come all the way from Mis souri. Legal opinion seems to differ on just what can be done in the case, .some iiolding that the case can be decided on the record of the hearing before the State medical board, oth er# holding that the whole affair will have to be aired in the court. It is generally agreed, however, that the appeal taken by Dr. Car roll from the decision of the State medical board of examiners to the Superior Court of Buncombe county can be heard by the judge oil the rec ord, with argument by attorneys from both sides, without the necessity for hearing before a jury. But whether the suit filed in Wake county to close the sanitarium-can be as eisly dis posed of remains to be seen. Solicitor F. Don Phillips, failing to convict Nevin C. Cranford of murder, has announced plow for try ing him on charges of assaulting woe ten, from which the injured man is said to have died. Five Killed and One Injured When Train Strikes a Truck Gastonia, Aug. I.—Five giria were killed and one was seriously injured at Gambrill’s grade crossing between Gastonia and Bessemer City this af ternoon shortly before 6 o’clock when a Ford truck iq which they were rid ing was struck and completely de molished by Southern passenger train No. 45, pulled by one of the npw Cres-' cent Limited green locomotives.

Mexico City. Aug. 2.— OP) —An an- I noiincement that the Catholic Episeo- I pate is willing to enter a truce with i the Mexican government until the Mexican people are able to express themselves by a plebiscite on the re -1 liffiouH controversy and the discovery of a plot to assassinate President Cnlles were the outstanding features of Mexico's first priestless Sunday. I Notwithstanding the greet parade of the regional confederation of labor i which required two hours to iiass a given iHiint. the day was a peaceful one as the capital eyor has known. Wh'le the marchers passed the pal ace wlie're President Calles, sur rounded by his ministers stood waving his handkerchief in answer to the cheering, members of tile faithful were kneeling in prayer in various churches, beseeching an amelioration of the sit uation brought about by tile govern ment putting into force its new relig iious regulations. All the Catholic churches without priests nt the altars were open for prayer and mediation except the great cathedra! and several of the down town places of worship, past which the parade made its way. Doors of these were closed in the fear that I seme untoward event might occur, j Dispatches from all parts of the republic indicate that tranquility pre vailed Sunday everywhere. Although there was tense feeling at some places no actual trouble developed. The government had made strong military preparations in advance to suppress disorder promptly. The impression of willingness to arrange a truce with the government was made ex clusively to the Associated Press by the episcopate. It was suggested it should run for a reasonable length of time to -give the iieople a chance to vote oil the situation. Meanwhile the episcopate would have the new relig ious regulations, and the “anti-relig ious persecutions” suspended. MRS.

Women Can Help in Enforcing the Law. (By International News Service) Atlanta, Gn.', Aug. 2.—The enforce ment of law depends principally up on the public sentiment for or against that law, and the courts nnd judges nre helpless unless they have the backing of a healthy public sentiment in their efforts, Federal Judge Sam uel Sibley, of the Atlanta federal dis trict court, to'.d a meeting of women called here to form a Georgia branch of the national law enforcement league. “Women can be of assistance in enforcing the law by attending the sessions of the courts and familiar izing themselves with the operations of the court machinery,” said Judge Sibley. “The various federal law enforce ment agencies, including the prohibi tion officers, the narcotic inspectors, the district attorney’s office and bu reau of investigation are always glad to get information from law-abiding citizens that will help make the laws more effective." “In fact, so great is the territory they serve, that they are largely de pendent upon tips from the outside in their efforts.” Husband Tortures Fireman; Says He Kissed His Wife.

McLEAN FEARS HE IS GETTING TOO SOFT Imperative That He Get Plenty of Exercise and Be Out Doors. Raleigh. Aug. 2.— (A*) —Governor McLean is afraid the constant con finement attendant upon his guberna torial duties is not the best tiling for his health. Discussing his mode of living. Mr. McLean says that in days gone by he was a good man physically but since being on an office job he is getting soft. A big man physically, he feels it is almost imperative that he get plenty of exercise and be outdoors a great deal if lie is to keep in trim. The executive does not care for tennis, golf and such activities and his idea of exercise is what another man would term work—lie likes wood chopping and ploughing. The governor recalls in his young er days he would plough all day and dance alll night at a country dance and be on the job at sun-up the next morning feeling fresh ns a daisy. Xow, it is only on rare occasions he is able to get away and he does not feel as fit at all times as in days gone by. He remarked that on liis trip to Blowing Bock this week he was on Blowing Rock last week lie was on the road for 21 hours, had no rest and no sleep and stopped only occa sionally. .Yet, at rhe end of the trip he felt better than if he hud spent a day in the office plugging away on matters of State. He be lieves this can be accounted for by the fact that ho was able to give his mind n complete rest and he was in the open air.
