The building owned by the local lodge of Odd ' Fellows, is a peculiar structure, the second and third floors being separated by a roof thnt orig inally covered the second floor. The third story was added. The contents of the third floor, used as a lodge room by the Odd Fellows, was damaged considerably. About $2,- 000 worth of extra furnishings and equipment had been purchased recent ly, and these were destroyed by the fire. It was reported today that the Odd Fellows would probably sell the prop erty and buy outside of the business district. Some time ago the lodge considered selling, but the deal was not closed. Rosenbaciier's operates one of the largest department stores in Winston salem. The concern is said to have had man y valuable cloaks in stock at the time of the fire, and all were destroyed.

'WOULD BREAK DOWN j EVIDENCE OFFERED J BV STATE WITNESS {Edward Schwartz Finger j Print Expert, Given Se vere Cross Examination at Hall-MUls Trial. HE AND COUNSEL OFTEN CLASHED} Defense Sought to Show! Card Had Been in Many Hands Before It Came] to Schwartz for Study. Somerville, N. ,)., Nov. !), —OP)— Again today defense counsel in the trial of the Hall-Mills ense jumped on finger priilt evidence with both - feet. With Edwilrd Schwartz. New -11 ark finger print expert, under cross examination, brought over from yes terday. a contest developed between , ■, t'.ie witness and the 06-year old Kob -lert H. McCarter, former attorney geu ijeral conducting the ivoss examination. McCarter, like a blooded bulldog, had sunk his teeth deeply into the i calling card of the Rev. Mr. Hall, de | dared by the experts to bear finger [ prints of Willie Stevens, and lie i would not let go. He resembled a bulldog still further in his tenacity as ho plied the wiiness with questions, - and by n slight stress of imagination : could be pictured fairly barking at ; the Newark police offieor. The wit , ness in turn almost vetnrued snarl for bark, and several times raised his , voice apparently approaching anger. ; The defense was stressing the eir i cuitous route traveled by the card of t ficinliy bearing the title of F-17 be , for*.it was examined by professionals for finger prints. The cross exami nation indicated that there was a con ytiction at' the defense counsel table that amateurs had handled t'.ie ex faibit before it fell into expert hands. Mr. McCarter went over at some length the journey of the card from the scene of the crime in s "certain brown parcel,” and the other contents of the parcel with the possibility that the print might have been impaired then and later a* it covered a wide stretch of New Jersey territory. The re-direct examination developed into a difference of opinion between counsel, which, however/tdU not. ex tend beyoiid the skirmish stage. Theve was no sustained firing at the moment between Mr. McCarter and Alexander Simpson, special prosecutor. The dual capacity of .Mr. Schwartz as a civil engineer and finger print expert precipitated the exchange. The witness, it has been developed, first entered the case to make a survey of territory about the scene of the slay ing of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Milts, 44 days after the commission of the crime. The witness said that he found some disturbance of the ground resem bling hoof prints near the place where Mrs. J*ne Gibson had said she tied her mule during her ride through De Hussy's Lane on the uight of the murder. The defense insisted that the state ahould be required to submit proof that there had been no physical change in the ground in the interim between the double murder and survey by the witness. The testimony was ruled competent by Judge Chas. W. Parker "‘for wbat it is worth."’ Gasoline War Cuts Price in Raleigh. Raleigh, Nov.

Nov. ,9. —A definite and well organized cotton acreage reduc tion plan, with a double-barrelled system _of enforcement in. which the 1 bankers, country merchants and sup ply merchants are to supply the buck shot and powder, in case any fanners refuse to co-operate lias been adopted ; and machinery is now being set up to put the plan into immediate opern - tion ns the result of the conference held in Raleigh yesterday at. the call 1 of Governor A. W. McLean to de velop a plan for the immediate insti gation of measures looking toward a ■ cotton crop reduction of not leds than 25 per cent, for 1927. This plan' which is to be put into operation in all the cotton counties 1 of the state by the central commit tee. and a sub-committee in each coun ty in which cotton is grown is made up of the more practicable elements in n large number of plans which here ‘ tofore. have been suggested and its effectiveness predicated largely on two 1 elements. The first is that through urging diversification only to the ex tent that farmers raise their own feedstuffs. the acreage thus needed ' will more than take care of the de sired decrease in cotton acreage. Fng ures available iudicate that if North . Carolina farmers will produce the ‘ crops to supply their own needs, such - as hay, grains, iiork, beef and milk, - that the aded acreage needed for these < props will automatically bring about -a 33 1-3 per cent, reduction in cotton t acreage, instead of 25 per cent. The second alternative, in case the - farmers fail to respond to the divend * fication program for cotton acreage re duction. is to compel farmers who will 1 not voluntarily agree to crop reduo ( tion, to out their plantings through j a curtailment of their credit by the ’ banks, country merchants and supply merchants. And to this end a clause ■ was edde requiring these banks and : merchants to sign a pledge to refuse to finance any farmers who would * not co-operate in the crop reduction < ptoß - TRAIN STRIKES Tfil CK AND FIVE ARE DEAD Five Others Injured in Grade Crossing Accident In Texas.

Thursday, November 11th, Armistice Day being a legal holiday in the State of North Carolina the banks of Concord will not be open for business. . CONCORD NATIONAL BANK CABARRUS SAVINGS BANK CITIZENS BANK AND TRUST COMPANY An even more drastic plan, provid ing for legislative action compelling farmers to cut acreage, providing six other cotton producing states would enact similar legislation, was present ed, by K. W. Christian, wlio presided at the conference, Hnt after con siderable (iiscii.-sion. tilts Iffllflf'Was re ferred to the central committee and to Governor McLean for such action as they saw fit to take. Perhaps one of the most outstand ing features of the reduction plan as adopted was the decision not to de mand a horizontal acreage reduction on the part of every fanner of a cer tain number of acres, but to leave the degree of acreage reduction to the dis cretion of the county committee to be determined according to "local condi tions in the county or community. Neither will the individual farmer be required to sign a pledge to cut his cotton acreage a certain amount. How ever. he will be asked to fill out a blank that will be supplied, setting forth the nuinbqr of acres planted to various crops, including cotton, and from this statement it will be able to determine his relative acreage re duction, as the number of acres under cultivation for the previous year will also be requested. These blanks will also call for the number of bales of , cotton carried over from the previous . year or years. i Summarized briefly, the plan ndopt , ed provides for the following; ■ First—A better balanced system of : agriculture that will automatically i bring cotton acreage reduction. Second —A campaign for better . farming and cotton acreage reduction . oil the part of all farmers growing . more than five acres of cotton. I Third—To make all plans applica . ble to the individual farmer, instead i of all farmers collectively, considering , his individual circumstances. r Fourth—The support of bankers * and supply merchants for the plan is 1 demand. p Fifth—Public recognition of fnrm ;l ers who co-operate in the plan, i Sixth—Provision for better market ing facilities for all crops.
