QI'EEN MARIE'S PARTY TO
HAVE ARMED GUARDS
Cleveland Mayor Fears Trouble Fol
lowing Hungarian Protest.
Cleveland. Nov. 17.—One thousand
armed police and firemen .will form a
permanent escort for Queen Marie
and her pnrty during their visit m
Cleveland.
The decision to provide an armed j
escort for the royal p&rty was an- |
non need today by Safety Director
Edwin I). Barry following a confer- !
ence with city officials. Fear of pos
sible disorders during the queen’s re
ception here resulted from an indigna
tion meeting last night, attended by.
several" Hungarian societies who had
previously been unsuccessful in an at
tempt to prtsent a petition of protest
to the city council. Mayor John D.
Marshall, after a stormy council ses
sion Monday, in which one member
attempted to force a reading of the
protest, denounced the petition ns
"vile, scurrilous nnd unsupported by
facts."
Police Chief Jacob Graul today an
nounced that leaders of the Hungarl
*■ an societies were preparing to dis
tribute 200,000 copies of the protest
petition, and declared that, the corps
of circulators Included a number of
communists who participated in the
May Day riots here in 1018.
Graul expressed fear that, circula
tion of the petitions might arouse
"hostile and radical elements to at
tempt some action against the royal
party.”

ment.
Captain John Prendergast. secretary |

and Municipal Judge Harry M. Walk- :
er were at the top of a list of seventy-!
four Chicagoans named in n blanket
indictment which was the latest thrust
of the federal grand jury,
j Numerous court and police subor
dinates also were included in the bills
which charges "conspiracy to defeat
enforcement efforts beeause of crooks;
i holding important posts in the Old- j
U-ngo police department” which drew j
an immediate response from Mayor •
i Dover.
Mayor Dover demanded an inline- j
diate airing of the charges, and char-1
aeterized the grand jury action as an :
aftermath of disputes between citjrj
and federal authorities'.
Judge Walker, who was not in-1
formed of the specific violation charged j
to him, attributes the Indictment to j
his liberaton of “minor offenders" i
brought into his court, and Chief Col- j
lins defended his subordinate. The I
indictment charged conspiracy in eaeli |
of four counts: manufacture, sale and |
transportation of liquor, and opera-1
lion of public nuisances.
The district attorney said that the
government made the move in a cam
paign to "give terrorists nnd obstruc

Dr. Miller Asks That the
Orthopaedic Hospital Be Enlarged
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel i i
Raleigh, Nov. 17.—Will the next
legislature make It possible for thd *
KTun<Tre<]s of crippled children •to be
given attention nt the Orthopaedic
Hospital in Gastonia, by providing
space f<jr at least fifty more children,
or will the hundreds now on the wait
ing list have to continue to remain
there, because of insufficient room and
equipment ?
This was the-question which Gov
ernor A. W. McLean and the members
of the advisory budget coin mission
were called upon to hear Monday
morning, when Pile budget estimates
of the Orthopaedic Hospital for both
maintenance nnd permanent improve
ments for the next biennium were pre
sented and inquired into.
The hospital, through Dr. O. 1,.
Miller, its superintendent, and the
board of trustees, nre asking for a
minimum appropriation of additional
buildings, improvements and equip
ment to accommodate fifty more chil
dren, to make space for a total of
12i> patients, at a cost of $228,900.
This is considerable below the figure
suggested by a consulting architect,
who estimated that file minimum
needs of the hospital would amount
to $350,000. On the supposition that
the permanent improvements will be
granted, a maintenance appropriation
of $130,796 is asked for the fiscal year
of 1927-28. This is to be reduced
$27,000 if the permanent improvement
program is not granted. For 1928-
29. a maintenance fund of $129,172 is
asked, which is reduced to $.87,832 if
the improvement program is not ennet
ed.
The most urgent need, according to
' Dr. Miller nnd the trusteess, is for a
| dormitory for the nurses, a new ward
' that will accommodate fifty beds, nnd
1 for a central alining hall and heating
plant. Another building to take care
4 of a number of special department, iu
' eluding the clinic nnd school, is also
. badly needed, according to Dr. Mil
ler. -
It was explained tnat for some
time it has been the policy to con
duct a school nt the hospital, so that
the children that have to remain I’ll ere
j- three, six or twelve months may keep
up with their school work. At pres
' ent but one small room is available
for this work, which is not sufficient,
and the school is being conducted un
der difficulties. Gaston county sup
p plies the teachers and lias agreed to
supply two teachers and to fully equip
s the school if the hospital will supply
the building. Space is also needed
i for vocational school work, since an
] attempt is being made to start the
1 children in the direction of economic
independence while they are still in
e the hospital. But so far I’d is work
' in vocational education has been little
v more than a feature, according to Dr.
Miller, because of the inadequate fa
cilities for handling it. ,
Dr. Miller was asked if it was found
* that not all of the program could
J be granted, if the school .could be
!• eliminated, but he and his board were
[■ all emphatic in declaring that the en
d tire program was essential, and that
It bad already been stripped of any
" inessentials.
Asked if the expansion requested
would take care of the situation in
fa definitely, or whether the demands up
-- on the hospital would increase every
•1 two or four years proportionately, Dr.
Miller replied that he thought that if
CONCORD, N. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1926
the present program were carried out.
it would be sufficient to take eare of
the present needs at least for this gen
eration add jierhaps longer, as indfeit
tions were Lint there was a very
slight decrease in the number of or
thopaedic eases of an indigent charac
ter. Especially is this true in cases |
of tubercular bones nnd joints, as this'
type of disease is diminishing with the
advent pf better and more milk. The
majority of these eases are traceable
to tile lack of milk and the proper
kind of milk and ns milk becomes bet
ter and cleaner, tile, disease tends to
vanish.
At present there is no special dor
mitory for Lie nurses, neither is there
a central dining hall. Both of these
are now essential. Dr. Miller told the
commission, beeause every inch of
available room is now occupied, nnd
congestion exists in every part of the
present building, since ninety chil
dren are being cared for with facili
ties designed to accommodate only
sixty patients.
It was explained that it was pos
sible to keep their expenses below
those of similar institutions because
of economy of management. For in
stance, it was pointed out that all of
the water nnd electric current con
sumed is supplied to the hospital free
by the city of Gastonia, and fiat
many individuals help.
Although no indication was given by
.any of the members, of the advisory j
budget commission ns to their attitude
toward the hospital, judging from the
number of questions asked and thor
oughness with which the wiiole mntter
was gone into, it was possible to set;
that the commission was much inter
ested in this institution and the work
it is “doing, nnd that it saw the need
of the new equipment asked for.
11l response to a question from a
member, of the commission it was
brought out that there are only five
other states in the United States
that have institutions of this charac
ter, and that many of these are heav
ily endowed by individual bequests,
so that the states themselves only have
a small amount to pay for their main
tenance. However, ill Norm Caro
lina, the state has had to bear vir
tually all of the expense, though there
is a tehdeney now on the part of a
few to make special bequests to this
hospital and the board hopes that
eventually it may be able to accu
mulate a substantial endowment from
this source.
The remainder of the day was de
voted to hearing requests from other
state institutions and departments, in
cluding the State Hospital for the In
sane at Goldsboro, for colored pa
tients, the State Tuberculosis Snni
fbrium at Sanitorium and the North
Carolina college for negroes. A night
session wag held at which some de
partmental requests were considered.

COL. PERSON’S SUIT
Against the North Carolina Cotton
Growers’ Co-operative Association
Raleigli Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Nov. 18.—Evidently seek
Ing new co-op* to conquer, Colone,
Willie M. Person, of Louisbtirg. and
a group of other attorneys, has start
ed legal action that has for its even
tual end the dissolution of the North
Carolina Cotton Growers Co-opera
tive Associatipn. The action is be
ing taken in behalf of P. L. Par
ham, Nash county, a member of the
assoeistimr. as Ty-OaftmepPerson 111 in"
self, and notice of suit was filed Tues
day afternoon with the clerk of Nash
county superior conrt. although no
complaint has as yet been filed. The
first move ou the part of the plaintiffs
will be to seek a bill of discovery
from the clerk of the Nash county
court against the co-operative associa
tion.
Both U. B. Blalock, general man
ager of the co-operative asssociation,
and B. W. Kilgore, president of the
association, were out of Raleigh Wed
nesday when the intention of Colonel
Person and his associates was learned.
However, it was stated by F. D. Web
ster. assistant secretary of Lie asso
ciation. that this action came as no
great surprise, and that although the
association did not know as yet just
what kind of action was being brought,
it was not in the least worried at the
outlook. He pointed out that every
member of the association had full
access to all books and information
nt all times, and that any investiga
tion of its affairs would be welcomed.
No actual suit or complains is ex
pected to be filed until the bill of dis-
sought has been granted, it was
explained by Colonel Person. Later,
following the investigation under this
bill, the formal notion will be brought
under which it is hoped dissolution of
the association may be brought about.
Colonel Person has long been prom
inent as a foe of co-operative market
ing. and it was he who brought the
first suit seeking Lie dissolution of
the tobaeco co-operative association.
It was he who also suggested to Judge
Meekitis, as one of the attorneys for
the plaintiffs, that a fee of less than
$50,000 for services rendered would
be '‘trivial” though he later said this
statement, was made in a spirit of
levity.

Sir Walter Hotel. • S
Raleigh. Xov. 18. —At last the
Statesville-Xewton link in Highway
Number 10 is to be built, end bids
are to be opened on the two projects
that wiM complete thi« link oh Wed
nesdny. November 24. it is afihounced
by the Highway Commission. That .
part of the route in Iredell county,
extending to the Catawba rrveer, is
known a« Project 624. and the por
tion of the route in Cntowbn county; }
from the river west to Newton , it
known ns Project 6.17. The route ,t»
be followed has been laid out in pc
eordance with the Staate Supreuro '
Court's now famous Newton High
way decision, in which the
sion was permanently enjoined fedWk
following the original route #jjpt.
The new route represents KOlfl'V
thing of a compromise between khM
original route planned and the rdttte
which the present road follows
which was in existence h»n^.before
the controversy arose. A new bridge
will be required across the Catawba,
river some mils« below wh#f* ? *Jpjp>Sj
Highway (’ommission first inteftded
to cress the river, and* a second
bridge will be required over a creek
near Newton. both of which will add
materially to the total cost, of the
road. This new route will also pass
through the towns of Catawba an £
Cfaremont, as did the first route pro
posed. The route now in use does not /•'
toueh eiflier of these towns. After
nnssine through Claremont ami
Catawba, the highway dips sharply
southward, so as to enter Xewtott
over a street that will take it pa«t
the door of the courthouse, in con*
formance with the edict of the su?
pi erne court, although it require** a
number of miles of additional con- :
struct ion to do this.
Instead of being a direct route be
tween Statesville and Newton, this
new route is a zig-eag. riomexyhat re
sembling a letter “Z”. this being
made necessary in order to get the
route to conform to the supreme
Court ruling.
Construction i« scheduled to begin
within thirty days after contract*?
have been definitely awarded. .
