Mutiny Over But Riots Have Not Been Halted State of War Now Exists Throughout Country as Officials Seek to Bring Order From Rioting. ARTILLERY MEN STARTED RIOTS Depite Optimistic Govern ment Reports Advices Tell of Riots in Various Localities. I/ondon, Sept. C>.— UP) —A state of j war exists throughout Spnin. A spec- j ial decree issued by the Spanish gov- j eminent announces that this action i was made necessary through mutinies j in the artillery section of the army at Secovla and Vallidoli in protest against I the substitution of electoral promotion j of officers for the ancient custom of advancement by seniority. The Spanish government in an offi cial statement declares the mutinous movement has been completely sup pressed and that reimrts from all parts of Spain are that perfect order pre-j va!ls. . “Owing to the excellent disci pline of the military forces and the prestige of authorities" there has been no bloodshed or violence, the report adds. Reports from France, however, say > t here have been rioting in Barcelona j and Valencia, while advices from Gi braltar declare that the warships at Barcelona and Cadiz are making com-1 man cause with the artillery men. j None of these rumors can be confirm-j ed at the present, and there is much i cur : osity here as so whether the] Spanish official announcement tolls I the whole story or whether the conn- j try is as orderly as the censored dis patches profess. King Alphonso, who was at San Sebastian when notified of the mutiny, drove 3(17 miles to Madrid in his au tomobile in 7 hours. He immediately went into conference with Gen. l’rimo de Uivern. the prenrer. and the Duke of Tekuan. minister of war. The proclamation of the state of war fol lowed immediately and the mutineers were ordered confined to barracks. The proclamation said that the decree was necessary "in view of the persist the artillery branch of the active army, eulmuiating in acts of, insubordina tion" in which the cadets of the mili tary academy also participated. A Keuter dispatch from Barcelona quotes an official statement as saying the military corps there has been dis solved.

Una’s Good Roads ond Schools.” Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Ilaleigli. Sept. 6.—While' the ques j lion of North Carolina's educational Status was being abruptly jerked into public notice by the assault made on ff ie state's educational system by Dr. I E. W. Knight, of the University of North Carolina, in which he said that |he was “going to quit lying” about j the status of educational progress in | the state and “present the facts," the ! progress which North Carolina lias | been making educationally was being j lauded ill the north by none other 1 than the New York Times, through | its editorial columns. | For only a few days previous to : the ultra-highbrow outburst of Dr. | Knight before a Raleigh civic lunch eon club ill which he regaled the state for being at the bottom of the first of states in the number of school days provided for the children of the strife—although ill reality it is fourth 1 from the bottom in this—and deplored ; the self-satisfaction and complacency which greeted the knowledge of this condition, the state's progress in' edu cation was being lnunded ill the north by t'iie so-called “Bible of the Intel lectuals", the New York Times. It lis also interesting to note that the leditoriai in The Times was based on a .news story written by The Tribune correspondent front the facts and fig i ures presented ill n recent edition of | "School Facts," issued by the State j department of education, and in which educational progress was linked up .with the growth of the state's highway j system. T’iie editorial, which appeared ] ill the issue of the New York Times on July 2(ith. was entitled “North Carolina Roads and Schools" and in part is as follows: “North Carolina not only has pro-- grossed amazingly during the last decade or more, but lias .seen to it that her advance has been made known to an otherwise ignorant world. What Rhe lias done has, indeed, de served recognition. One of the re sults of her emphasis on the building of roads, for example, lias recently been pointed out by the State super intendent of public instruction. He icfta AST 'Tha r the 1 * qufokeiffiig Tis the rural school system of the state had been inhde possible by the road pro gram started in 11)21. Good roads facilitated Hie consolidation of school districts. They also increased the nltendance at school by making pos sible.. the establishment of bus lines to carry the children to and from school. As a result, -many small schools not efficiently operated could be abolished, and more attention wns. concentrated on developing the com bined schools. The number of schools for whites having two or more tearfi | ers increased threefold, and the num j her of schools for negroes having two or more teachers increased eightfold. “The dependence ot the educational system on the status of the roads has not always been obvious to the advo- cate of good roads throughout the country. To be sure, the foresight : and energy which North Carolina has ! shown In carrying out an improved | educational program are as important I as the wisdom in planting and execut-1 j ing the road program. But it, is be- j ! coming apparent that we are turning: ! again to ronds as great factors in the j I economic and social development of, I the country. George Washington, who | was one of the, few Americans to think in terms of empire, understood this a hundred and fifty and more years ago and throughout his life of public service tried to make his coun trymen realize that roads were the skeleton of the state and that on good | roads depended the economic progress and the welfare of the people.” The balance of the editorial deals Federal State and County Officials Caught in Dry Raid Charleston, 8. C., Sept. s—Thirtythrees—Thirty three men were under arrest or free on bond here today an a result of the surprise raid of prohibition officers on the “Hell Hole” section of Berke ley County and portions of Charles ton County. More than 100 Prohibition en forcement officers, deputy United States mntshate and coast guards- , men, under the direction of M. O. Dunning, Prohibition co-ordinator | for Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, took part in the raids. They will continue through Monday and Tuesday, and longer if it is necessary to clean up the sit uation, Mr. Dunning said. Besides the 33 arrests the raiders destroyed 17 stills, 830 gallons of moonshine whiskey, and 34.400 gal lons of mash, and confiscated five automobiles. Twenty more arrests aie to be made tomorrow.

So it is that without in anyway de fending the state for what it Ims not done or should have done in educa tion, many people are of the opinion, taking all things into consideration, it is unfair to draw bald comparisons with what other and far richer states have done in education, but that it 1 1 is better to consider, as Miss Elizn ' j bet Kelly said, “Where we started, 1 where we are now and where we are going.” When considered from this point of view, the results arc not as ' disappointing as Dr. Knight would : have the people of the state believe. At any rate, the New York Times 1 sees progress. G. L. Miller and Company is De clared to Be Solvent. New York. Sept. 4.—Preliminary reports of the books of O. L.

Included ill the men arrested were federal prohibition agents, state and 'oral officers, rum runners, bootleggers and distillers. Officers from South Carolina.

STATE DID NOT LOSE BY MILLER FAILURE Bonds of the Company Not Allowed to Be Sold in North Carolina, Mr. Maxwell Explains. Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. <i.—The failure of the (5. L. Miller Company, one of the biggest real estaate and inortagage i bond concerns in the United States, calls to mind the fact that under the | present Capital Issues Law, adopted I in 1925, no bonds or securities of j the (}. L. Miller Company, or any other company doing business on a similar basis, have been ;>erniitted to be sold in North Carolina by the State Corporation Commission. . it was pointed Out by A. J. Maxwell, securities commissioner, that the G. | L. Miller company issued bonds cov ering the entire face value of a building project, instead of bonding to only 50 to (K) per cent of its real value, as is generally done, in order to sufficiently safeguard the interests of the bondholders. “Although it is not likely that the bondholders of the Miller company will lose heavily in the present re ceivership, it does demonstrate that | the company wn-r'operating on an | unsafe financial basis, leaving no margin whatever tor depreciation I and shrinkage of properties. And this | fact we believe substantiates the at titude of the commission in refusing to approve those bonds and securi ties which are not properly safe guarded. “It is iy>t our purpose to depre-j cate in any way tile value of real es- 1 tate securities issued on a proper basis. The objection to the class of j securities issued by the G. I>. Miller company was that in many cases they issued bonds to cover the total cost of a given property, covering both land and construction us well. | leaving lio sustaining equity of falue, as a protection to the bondholder. “There is no better class of securi ties issued than bonds against real estate when the bonds rest upon a proper and conservative proportion of the total value of the property, which in the opinion of the Corpora tion of the total value of the proper-1 ty, which in the opinion of the Cor poration Commission, should in no i case exceed GO per cent of the con servative value,” Mr. Maxwell de clared.
