GOVERNOR SPEAKS Outlines Relief Work Needed to Be Done by Civic Workers. Charlotte, Dee. 7.—OP) —Relief work by eivic clubs should not be con fined to the boundary of n City, but' Olio ald extend into tile rural districts. Governor A. W. McLean told about •TOO members of Charlotte's civic cltlbs in an address here today. Tlic governor .outlined a comprehen sive program of welfare work. “There is plenty of work for all of us to do," the governo'r told the civic workers. He then pointed out that the “tenant farmer problem” is a very “real one” and should be looked into by the civic clubs. Among other things the Otkernor advocated was relief work among fam ilies of prisoners and convicts confined in jails and chnin gangs, assisting worthy needy youths in obtaining high school and college educations; assist ing crippled children ; service for way ward boys and girls; assistance for worthy mothers and and abandoned children. Speaking of the families of prison ers, the Governor said that relief from the "pitiful condition in which we find tile families of prisoners and convicts confined in jails and on chnin gangs” which is "one of our most pressing human problems” is badly needed. He also charged that white people lmd been ‘‘previously negligent” 1 in the matter of looking after needy negro children. ADMITS DEFICIT AND THEN TAKES OWN LIFE Clarence Henoctoberg, Memphis Bank er.

But Three Months to V Live so Work Must Be 1 1 Started Without Delay. i, Washington, Dec. 7.—(49—Having ended their summer holiday with hol • iday spirit members of Congress were ready today in the parliamentary sense gt least, to tackle the business of mnn ■ ufaeturing legislation out of the huge supply of raw material available in ■ committee and bill rooms. With the constituting limiting their i remaining term of labor to less thnu three months, they had no hope of getting all of the bills into the law-making mill before the 09th Con gress expires March 4th. All that re- i main in stock after that date will au t<unnt!cally become legally obsolete although if their sponsors think they are not actually obsolete they can be reintroduced in the 70lh Congress. The principal business before both chambers today was the reading of President Coolidge's annual message. Instead of delivering it in person, he arranged to have it presented to the Senate and 'House by a special mes senger and read by the clerks. Formalities of convening have made it impossible for members to do much iu Lie way of advancing legislation ! before tomorrow. The House agreed I M* adjourn today after 'heaping the.! . President's .wosiutfd I "a*la muih as-re-E; spocl for the memory of its former speaker, the late “Uncle .Toe” Can nun. The Senate, however, had a | few hotirs at its disposal for legisla-! tivo work today, and tomorrow after receipt of the budget message both I houses will be ready to make a start | on their crowded program of work. | Something Else to Think About. Washington, Dec. 7.—(49—Already heading into a traffic jam on the sec oud day of its new session. Congress was given a new list of things to, think about today by President Cool idge. In his annual message the Chief Ex ecutive put taxes and farm relief at the head of a long series of subjects which he thought might well receive attention before adjournment on March 4th. ■! He disapproved any attempts to permanently revise tax schedules, however, and left it to Congress it self to finally decide whether Treasury I surplus should be turned back to the taxpayers in rebates or applied to the liaiionAl debt. His reeommeendations on the farm surplus question were in general terms, but he asked that there be no price fixing. Make Money by Sales at Curb Market. Salisbury, N. C., Dec. 7. —OP)—It. L.

Fall in the leasing of the Elk Hills oil reserve. The 70-,vear-old oil magnate has been suffering for a week‘with an infected arm, and last night a second lancing operation was performed. His physician ordered him to remain in bed at least for today, but said that by tomorrow or Thursday the patient should be in condition to again appear in court. Upon presentation of a physician's certificate at the outset of today’s ses sion, the trial was adjourned until such time as Mr. Dohony shall be able to resume his place in the court room. Despite the second operation per formed in the oil man's hotel room, he was in considerable pain today, and was running an appreciable tempera ture.

Dec. 7.—(49—Sotqe ■ form of temporary tax relief, and I sound solution”, if. possible, of tip' i farm marketing problem were ttjferd 1 ■ by President Coolidge today intiis annual message to Congress. | i He left t'.ie specific methods to the j i legislators themselves, stipulating on | ly that a prospective $383,000,000 i treasury surplus should not be re-! i garded as warranting a permanent j ; tax revision, and that in approaahing ; i the farm relief problem Congress 1 . should shun anything savoring of price fixing. i The President also suggested that ' . steps should be taken “at an early; day” to transfer the Philippine* froth 1 , the military to the civil branch of the 1 government; proposed that something he done to end the “great inconveni ence and expense” caused by lower- 1 ing the level of the Great Lakes; re- : newed his stand for the protective tar- i iff anil for complete observance of i prohibition; again pledged his admin- 1 istration to economy; and laid down i a long list of other suggestions, al ; though conceding that in the tdrnrt j i session no extensive program of gen-! i , eral legislation would be possible. ! ' The message contained no mention j i of the World Court, a subject which he said in his Kansas City speech he j' would not again submit to the Senate, j ’ Nor was there any direct reference 1 to Mexico. |: His suggestions on other questions j included: i Broadening anil strengthening of the j 1 r federal agricultural agencies. | | Revision of the livestock grazing] i j regulation.-. '. j . t Continuation of reclamation devß; , opments. j. Development of Muscle Shoals with j ■ cheaper fertilizers in view. Development of the Mississippi and E I Colorado rivers, and of rivers and harbors generally. A Great Lakes-to-tlie-sen canal along a route yet to be chosen.

Radio control under the department , of commerce. . Adequate care of disabled veterans. but no extension of the pension sys ; tcm. Return of alien property. “Fair salaries” lor federal judges. One-man control of the government merchant fleet. Anti-lynehing legislation. In the face of the estimated treas ury surplus, the Chief Exeeutive said there was “no reason why a balanced portion of surplus revenue should not bb applied to a reduction of taxation.” but he contended that any permanent reduction would not be warranted at this time with the government con ducting a going business of nearly $4,- 000,000 annually. “Meantime," he added, “it is pos sible to grant some real relief by a simple measure tanking reductions in the payments which accrue on the 15th of March and June, 1927. I am very strongly of the conviction that this is so much a purely business matter that it ought not to be delat with in a partisan spirit, x X "These are tny convictions stated with full knowledge that it is for the Congress to decide whether they judge it best to make such a reduction or leave the surplus for the present year to be applied to retirement of the war debt. That also is eventually tax reduction.” In working out the surplus farm crop problem to any sound conclusion, he advised that it was “necessary to avoid putting the government into the business of production or marketing or attempting to enact legislation for the purpose of price fixing.” “It is unfortunate,” he added, “that no general agreement has been reached by the various agricultural interests' upon any of the proposed remedies. Out of the discussion of various pro posals which can be had before the committees of agriculture some meas ure ought to be perfected which would be generally satisfactory.” Recounting the efforts of his special cotton committee to aid southern pro ducers, the President said; “As a result of this co-operation sufficient funds have been pledged to finance the storage and carrying of 4,000,000 bfiles of-cotton. Whether those who own the cotton are willing to. put a pact- ot their stock into this plan depends on themaelyes.

Work They Are Doing, j EMPHASIZED ONE OF GREATEST NEEDS That of Taking Care of the Wives of Men Sent to State Prison.—Duplica tion of Welfare Work. By J. C. BAKERVILL ' (Stuff Correspondent) Charlotte, Dee. 7.—Those civic chibs which have as their specialty the undertaking of some altruistic wel | fare work that will rebound to the j ultimate benefit of their city and coro ! munity have by no means exhausted ! the field, but still have endless oppor ! tnnity for extending the scope of their j influence. Governor A. W. McLean to ■ day told the assembled civic cltlbs of Charlotte following a luncheon at which tie was the honored guest. Gov ernor McLean left a morning session of the budget commission and drove ! here by automobile to be present at I the luncheon and will return to Ral eigh this afternoon. After commending the Rotary, Ki wanis, Civitan, Lions civic dubs for the excellent work they had accomplished through their efforts to make their respective communities bet ter places in which to live, stated that he had been asked to suggest some avenues whereby these dubs could ex tend their influence outside their im | mediate communities and assist the ! state in the work its agencies were i trying to do. This at first appeared j difficult, he said, but that after going ! into the matter, he found that not ; only were there numerous ways in | which these organizations might aid, but that, their help was in reality ] much needed. j After calling attention to the pos j sibilities of eivic organizations assist i *nr in establishing contacts between I crippled children in their eommuni i ties and the State Orthopaedic Hos ! pitni at Gastonia, and in ,keeping its touch young boys sent to the StolW l wall Jackson Training School, and of { wayward girls sent to Shmatqailtj from | their respective communities, and try ting to keep them on the right track after being discharged, the governor turned to what he emphasized as prob ably the greatest need—the ways and means to take care of the wives and childrcp of men in the State prison. .“In considering the wife and chil dren of the criminal, it might as well be realized in the first place that they are perhaps better off, certainly in no worse plight, when their natural pro tector is confined than when he is at -liberty. In the latter instance hisl attention is practically confined to abuse, and rarely does he provide. When we lock him up for the good of society we do not thereby injure his family, but the family remains a charge upon the public. We should see to what degree they can be helped through civic clubs ami other organi zations, but in doing so it is worse than folly to complicate the effort by assuming that they ,ean be helped by releasing the criminal, who pays less than no attention to his obligation to them. “Although it is the very fact of his economic worthlessness that gets the average prisoner in confinement the majority of pleas for clemency are based on the fallacy that if a parole is granted, the helpless family of the. convict will be bettered. “One recent case which came before me graphically represents this jioint. though it by no means stands alone. In this instance the culprit was so in dustrious and tenacious in his' pursuit of crime that he became a positive public nuisance. He was arrested and a subscription was taken among the better citizens of the community 'to employ counsel to prosecute him with vigor. Yet, no sooner had he been convicted than petitions for his release were circulated and signed by the very persons, in many instances, who had done most to have him pros ecuted and convicted. And the plea urged upon me was that if he were freed he could then provide for his innocent Wife nnd children. They should be provided for, but it is trifl ing with onr responsibility to pretend to look to the prisoner to do so. “The prisoner's family, however, is with us, and they at least are inno cent. It is the loosest thinking to declare that the state has for them a special obligation on the score of ’ having found it necessary to confine ; the husband and father. Here is pe culiarly, on all counts, a field for wel fare work of' the most worthy and delicate kind. These families can be ; given jobs and be made sclf-support- I Ing. The children can be kept in 1 school and given a chance at educa ■ tion. They can be compensated in ■ kindness and practical help for what ! is their misfortune. Especially im ' portant should it be to so treat them I as to let them see that they are not held responsible for the stigma they 1 feel attached to their fate.” Governor McLean then mentioned the duplication of effort that now 1 days is being made in various lines of s welfare work and called attention to f the need of some co-ordinating com r mittee or council or body in cities ee f pecially, bat in other communities aa ’ well, to see that' the efforts of the * Salvation Army, the Associated Char (Continued on Page Two) 500 NEW SUBSCRIBERS.

Bishop was held in the county jail here today for furth er quemionintf in connection with t'.ie slaying Sunday of her husband, Luth er Bishop, a state detective known throughout the southwest for his ac tivities in breaking up bandit gangs. Discovery of the two pistols which Bishop always carried or kept near him in his home resulted in the ar rest of Mrs. Bishop yesterday, and caused county authorities to turn from the theory that gangsters entered the house as the family slept and shot the detective to death after taking the firearms. The pistols were found by the cor oner’s jury in an oatmeal container. One *.md been fired six times and the other twice. Seven bullets struck Bishop, the fifst apparently while l*e was asleep. He died before he could reach an electric light switch near his bed. Neighbors told of hearing sev eral shots fired rapidly early Sunday morning, followed by the sound of a racing engine of an automobile, left at a point near the house. Mrs. Bishop said’ s’-ie was asleep in a bed near her husband's when she was awakened by a shot. The shoot- - ing continued, she declared, as she fled from the room to summon her father and son. She was unable to add' many details of this account of the shooting during five hours of ques- : tinning last night.
