night destroyed Rosonbaolier'Brothers'

No statement was made today by
Mr. Scott. The origin of the fire is
a mystery Fire Chief Harry Nissen
said.
Contractors ore figuring on the
building in an effort to ascertain the
| exact amount of damage. Adjustor*
have not arrived yet to investigate the
damage done to contents, and ,the esti
mate of loss incurred could not be ob
tained. other than the owners’ original
statement that the figures would reaeh
approx ; mately $150,000.
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.
Fire Chief Nissen is jiositivC in the
assertion that the fire originated on

that .it broke out on the third floor.

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. B.—After a truce
of more than eighteen months, a gaso
line war was renewed here today be
tween rival gasoline service stations
and the automobile driving public ben
efitted to the extent of a three-ceut
reduction in gas prices. The popular
fluid dropped from 26 to 23 cents,
which is the tank wagon price plus
the Stntp tax.
Two leading service stations started
the price cutting early this morning
and during'the day virtually every
service station 'in the city reduced
prices in accordance with the reduc
tions of the two leading competitors.
Small filling station owners, unable
to purchase in tank car loads, found
themselves selling gasoline without
any profit. The larger stations, able
to handle carload lots, were making
a slight profit, it was stated.

Adopt a Definite Plan For
Reduction of Cotton Acreage
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. 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

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
