Washington. Sept. 21).—OP)—The
argument over tile suite of the Union
and particularly ns to whether pros
perity now exists in the United States
continues unabated between official
spokesmen of the Democratic and Re
publican parties.
With their eyes set upon the No
vember elections which are to decide
’.ie complexion of the 70th Congress.
’Senator Lawrence ('. Phippi, Colo
rado, chairman of the Republican sen
atorial committee, declared "This is
a Republican year,” while Senator
Thomas F. Bayard, Delaware, treas
urer of the Democratic senatorial cam
paign oomjnittee, characterized his
Co’orado colleague ns nil “unconscious
humorist."
The people. Semi tor I’hipps assert
ed after a white fimlse conference with
President Coolidge, have undiminit'ied
confidence in President Coolidge ami
believe he show d be supported by a
majority in Congress which will help
him maintain the most nbuudunt pros
perity the country lias over had, un
der a Republican tariff, but Senator
Bayard said that the statement would
be received by western fanners with
"their tougues in their (’.leeks."
In the latest wave in the sea of
campaign propaganda. Senator Bay
ard asked whether Senator Phipps "is
the only person in American unaware
of the fact that tile 15,(MM) employees
of the Amoskeng Manufacturing Com
pany of New England declined only
last week to accept a cut in wages
which the company dangled before
their eyes for t'.ie alleged purpose of
getting contracts."
Senator Phipps countered with the
statement that "the situation looks
Hood in Maesaehuset a,” where Senator
WnH Britler, chairman of the republi
can national committee and personal
friends of the President, is opiiosed
by former Senator David I. Walsh. It
is difficult, he pontinued. "to imagine
how’ it could be otherwise inasmuch
ns Massachusetts is an industrial
State, strong for both the tariff and
the President.”
TREES TO BE PLANTED
ON NORTH CAROLINA DAY
Thirteen to Be Planted, One for Each
of the Original Colonies.
Raleigh, Sept. 21). —04*)—Governor
McLean has been invited to act with
President and Mrs. Coolidge and oth
er governors of the thirteen original
colonies in emulating the example set
by Washington, Jefferson and Alex
ander Hamilton by planting thirteen
trees at Philadelphia as living me
morials to the colonies forming the
republic.
Tile date for tfie ceremony has been
set as October 11th, which is also

uled to tnke place in Independence
Square at noon, and to be followed
by a luncheon to the visiting digni
taries given by the women's commit
tee of the exposition.
The plan calls for each governor
to turn a spade-full of native soil
about the roots of a tree representing
his state as a part of t'.ie Sesqui-Cen
tennial exercises.
An especially large crowd is expect
ed to be on hand for the occasion as
the day also marks the aliening of the
National American Legion conven
tion.
Governor McLean stated that while
he would like much to accept the
invitation and would do so if it did
not conflict with the "North Carolina
Day” exercises at I’ue Eesqui-Centen
nial grounds, he was afraid that it
would be impossible for the North
Carolina delegation to participate on
account of the State flag presentation

plete list of speakers, w'.ien and where ,

No comment was forthcoming here
from Democratic headquarters regard
ing the report that eminated from
Hn'eigh some days ago that there was I
serious disagreement between Johjison:
J. Hayes, Republican for!
the Senate opposing Senator I.ee S.
Overman and bis campaign manager,
Hiwulow Jackson, other than i'ac
statement that the report did not e.mi
nate from Democratic headquarters
and that the first that had been liegrd
of such a disagreement—if any really'
existed—was when it was published
in a Greensboro morning newspaper.
The first report was to the effect that
Hayes and Jackson were at odds o.vt't
Ifie manner in which the Republicai:-
campaign was being conducted am
that Hayes was becoming somewhn
tired of the manner in which he wa:
being chits-1 over the state, speuklni
to s ira audiences in sections whet
there was no hope of getting any Jli
publican support.
However, this report was vehemeyi
ly denied by both Huyes and Jackie/
iu no uncertain words iu which bof
reiterated thiir complete cotitideniVj
each other and expressed the (i uteri
nation to conduct the campaign alig
the lines it has been going. Hies
expressed complete and full confidiee
in Jackson and the manner in wfch
he had been carrying on the fig'.it, .k1
Jackson disclaimed any intentm
whatever as resigning his post as im
ager of the campaign.
However, despite these posive
statements from both Hayes nd
Jackson the opinion prevails in lil
eight among those who should bet'n
miliar with the situation that. Hues,
despite fiis outward attitude of is
suranee, is not so optimistic ashe
would have people believe, and lat
lie is inclined to regard at least art
of his extensive tour of the statins
something of a wild goose ehase.es
pecially in those sections which ire
admittedly in the past, now and beee
forth Democratic territory.
But no matter what the true sets
in t’lie case may be, it is no B<ret
that the Democratic campaign hid
quarters would rather hear talei of
Republi6an success, radiating oti
mism and confidence th&n otherwse,
for it is difficult to build up enthsi
iisni, especially ill an off-year, wbre
there is little or no opposition. Jid
while John Dawson refused absolte
l.v to comment in any way on there
ported state of affairs, there was litle
doubt but that as far as he was on
eerned, 'lie wished the whole ting
might not have happened.
This thing is certain, however, nd
that is that the Democratic comiit
tcc is not take any heed of
any reported raptures in the rinks
of the Republicans, and that it is|o
ing ahead with its campaign on die
assumption t'-iat the Republicans ire
now and will continue to put ui a
stiff fight, conceding nothing.
So plans for a vigorous Democrtie
campaign are going forward withiut
a let up.

MOONSHINERS FEEL. THE
THE STING OF THE LAW
United Coast Guard Boat Is Put In
to Service at Memphis.
(By International News Service)
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 2!).—lsland
moonshiners who have been flooding
Memphis liquor markets for several
years by use of fast motorboats are
'new beginning to feel thesting of tue
law.
Manned by six picked men, a L'nit
ed Coast guard boat has just been
put into service here under the com
mand of the local federal prohibi
tion chief. Alvin J. Howe.
With the use of powerful spotlights
the new boat is running down liquor
laiden motorboats every night and car
rying prohibition agents to the liquor
stills during daylight hours for raids.
The last effort made here to fight
the moonshinefs with their own weap
ons was two years ago when Sheriff
W. S. Knight swung into action a mo
torboat purchased by t lie county.
For weeks the sheriff and Jiis staff
of deputies wrought havoc among the
still-infested islands, about ten of
them, located up and down the river
from this city.
Moonshiners saw their destruction.
Late one night a powerful motorboat
came down the river at top speed.
Sheriff Knight ordered his pilot to
halt it.
The boats headed towards each
other. T’.ie moonshiners' fast boat
headed directly for the. sheriff’s
launch. The liquor boat was out
for one purpose—to destroy the sher
iff s boat.
There was an exchange of shots and
then a collision in midstream. Both
boats were damaged and sank. Dep
uties and moonshiners swam for the
shore.

STATE WIDE GAME LAW
NOW SEEMS PROBABLE I
Inasmuch as the Supreme Court Has j
. Made Portions of County Laws In
valid.
Tribune Bureau i
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. Sept. 2!l.—The adoption of
a state-wide hunting and game law
by the next legislature is looked upon !
as altogether probable, now that the i
State Supreme Court has cleared the j
way by making portions of the public- j
local '.Hinting and game laws for 581
individual counties invalid by its re
cent decision the the case of State vs. J
Barkley, in which it was held that j
inasmuch as the game belong to the |
State and not to the counties in which J
it happens to be. counties cannot ini- j
pose higher license fees on residents -
of other counties tlian those imposed ■
on its own residents. In this ease, j
Barkley, a resident of Mecklenburg i
county, refused to pay the |g fee I
for hunting in Cabarrus county on i
the grounds that the law was discrim-!
inatory and hence unconstitutional, i
The Supreme Court concurred in the j
contention, but held that the other!
sections of the 'aw were constitu
tional, and that instead of paying li
cense fee of $3 w'jkii was discrimina
tory, Barkley must pay the license fee
of sl. which was required of all Ca
barrus county residents.
By means of this decision, the por
tions of county hunting and game laws
which fixed higher fees for non-resi
dents of the county, but residents of
the State, are all knocked out—and j
58 counties have such laws. The
decision of the Supreme Court, ’how
ever, does not affect the higher license
fees fixed for non-residents of the
State. But at present a resident of
any county of the state may hunt
in any other county in the state by
paying the same license fee required
of residents of the county. Thus
hunters from counties where there is
little or no game can swarm into
counties where it is plentiful and vir
tually exterminate it, without having
to pay any more for the privilege than
if they were in their own county.
This will undoubtedly cause con
siderable feeling on the part of resi
dents of counties where efforts have
been made to preserve game and regu
late hunting, and is bound to bring the
matter of a state-wide hunting and
game law before the legislature. The
matter of "county rights’’ is all very
good as long-as the practice of that
theory protects an individual county
from outside exploitation, and at the
same time reserves some advantages
for the residents of that county. But
if the county is unable to make reg
ulations protecting it from outside
evploitation, and outsiders are al
lowed the same rights as residents
then these residents will not be so
opposed to the State enacting regula
tory regulation.
Hence it is that since many of the
counties will be without power to reg
ulate hunters from other sections of
the state coming in and destroying
game whk’-v it had hoped to reserve
for its own resident hunters and
which previously vigorously fought
any effort on the part of the State
to control the hunting and game priv
ileges. these counties will not be so
opposed to State regulation now, since
it is the only method by which pref
erence in hunting may be given to
county residents over outsiders.
It is true that the eighteen Audu
bon counties are not affected by the
recent court decision, largely because
these counties have very few' regula
tions. designed almost entirely for non
residents of the state. In the Audu
bbn bounties, a license obtained in
any one is good in any of the others,
and no license is required of a non
resident child or parent of a resident
landowner for hunting on the land of
such a resident. In all these eighteen
counties a fee of $10.25 is required
of all hunters from without t’be state.
The majority of the counties of the
state recognize the need for protect
ing game through legislation. And
now. since it has been found that one
county cannot protect its game from
depredations by residents of other
counties, it is believed that much of
the opposition to a State law regulat
j iug game and hunting will disappear,
! and that the ehaneea for adopting a
| state-wide game and hunting law are
I better now than in many years.

Diamond Drill May Reach
Level Today So Men Can |
Communicate Through f
the Bore.
Iron-wood, Mich., Sept. 2!l.—C&)- 5
The fate of 43 men entombed since
last Friday in the depths of t'be Pabst %
mine here may become known today. *
Possibility that one of the efforts |
to pierce the barrier of rock and earth
in the shaft of the eighth level where -
the men are imprisoned 800 feet lin
bt ground may be crowned with sue* |
cess today, did not however deter men \
engaged in Pbree other rescue at- |
tempts.
Today’s hope was from the bottom 3
of the shaft, clogged midway by the Jj
cave-in. Admittance to lower levels ij
of the mine is gained by connections
from the shaft of an adjoining mine. •
Working upward, the rescuers had M
penetrated the twentieth level after
several days cf hazardous efforts. A
Completion of timbering will permit
easy egress to ladders of the. shaft,
which were intact as far as rescuers }
could see upward today, giving hope
that they might climb up to or nearly
to the eighth level.
It is 1200 feet from the twentieth
level, where forty men are believed
to be. The shaft is c'ogged from the
second level, 327 feet below the sur
face, to a point somewhere below I
t'.ie eighth and above tile twentieth
levels.
On the eighteenth level, 257 feet
above the twentieth level, a (nin in
spector is believed imprisoned. He 1
faces the possibility of rescue first, i
Above him on the thirteenth level ■
two other inspectors are believed to
be waiting.
The ether succor efforts are:
A diamond drill starting frpm the
second level. 327 feet below the sur- .
face, early today was calculated to
be 375 feet from the goal. This 2 i
t-2-ineli bore is being made to
communication and furnish food and
clothing.
A lateral tunnel from an adjoining
mine 54 feet dug. 220 feet to go.
Removal of the debris from the,
shafj at the top. workers of 'this ex
pedition have 300 feet to go. They
cleared 100 feet yesterday. Relatives,,
anxious, tired but still hopeful and
patient, displayed the restraint of
mining blood as they crowded about
the rescue workers. No one will give
on. Everyone is sure the miners live.
Meanwhile ambulances, physicians and
nurses waited to care for the men
when they are reached.
