Tribune Bureau, i Battery Park Hotel. Asheville, N.. C„ March 19.—Plans are being outlined for the future pro cedure to be followed in the obtaining of additional land for the Smoky Mountains National Park, by the State Park Commission, which was In ’ session here yesterday afternoon. The members of the commission, most of whom were present, were'guests of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce* at luncheon at the Battery Park hotel at one ocloi-k, after which the com-1 | mission went into executive session.) ! It is generally admitted by the) I members of the commision that tbei I outlook for obtaining the National Park in the immediate future has been considerably dimmed and the method of procedure on the part of North Carolina materially hampered by the injunction proceedings recently start ed in Tennessee to restrain the state of Tennessee from signing the deeds to the 75.000 acre tract of the Little River Lumber Co., which the state was about to purchase, The restrain ing order set forth that the land could not be accepted by tbe government for national park purposes because some of the deeds contained n clause per mitting the lumber company to cut the timber off. Since none of the $2,000,000 author ized by the general assembly, can be expended for land in North Carolina until Tennessee has purchased its share of land and- presented it to the Government, further progress in North Carolina seems to depend largely on what Tennessee does in the matter. This there seems to be some doubt as to whether the North Carolina Park Commission can do anything more than mark time until the tangle in Tenuessee is straightened out. How ever, the commission is hopeful that the matter will be adjusted soon, and that they can then proceed with the work of raising additional funds and the seenring of options on territory within tbe park area.

School Attendance in State is On the Increase at This Time Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. [ Raleigh, March 19. —School attend l :mee. in North Carolina is getting | bet let- each year, an indication of the progress of the public school system jin the stale, as well as of the in |irensed confidence of the people in I education, says the' latest Issue of (School the average of nttend l.inee for the 818. 739 enrollment for j 1925-192 ft being 74 jier cent. Since 1904-05, the school popula tion has maintained about the same Initio of increase each year, with the I ‘exception of 1919-1920. when it show led a decided jump, due largely to the ; | passage of a compulsory (attendance I law. which required all children be ■ I tween the ages of eight and fourteen Ito attend school daily, and to the jeft'ect of the constitutional amendment - j providing for a minimum term of six i months. An unusual record has been made (during the last four years, the re st port points out. During that time | less than fifteen per cent of the child ren of school age (ft to 21) were not [enrolled in the public elementary elementary schools. When it is cou- I sidereal that many of those that make ! Ilf* this fifteen per cent have gone to j college, that others have married and j flint still others have finished high ■ school and entered business, the re- Icord is still more outstanding. i _ ! MORE FROM INCOME TAX EXPECTED THIS YEAR [ Total May Be Greater Than for 1925- 20. Figures Now Indicate. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, March 19.—Indications arc that collections of the state income tax will be larger during the present fiscal year than iu 1925-26 although indications several months ago were lhat collections might not be as large. Collections to date approximate close ly to $4,500,000. according to the de partment of revenue, although not | all of the thousands of checks that poured in this week have been totaled. And since several extensions have been granted some of the largest taxpayers —corporations—indications are that the total by June 30th when the pres ent fiscal years ends, will amount to between .$6,000,000 and $7,000,000. probably nearer the latter figure. A large corps of clerks have been kept busy almost night and day iu the income tax department of the de partment of revenue, checking over the returns and totaling the thousands of checks. Tuesday the receipts were approximately $2,000,000. - Wednesday Friday, though ail of the cheeks for Friday have not yet been totaled. State income tax collections for the ■ fiscal year 1925-20 were slightly more than $6,000,000. The federnr income tax oo.lectors have been having an equally busy time in making their collections though the rush there has not been quite so heavy, because the bulk of the federal income taxes are paid in quarterly inf stallments instead of all at one time, as is the case of the majority of the state income tax payers. Approximately $3,500,000 iu federal income taxes have been collected to date, which represents approximately one-fourth of what the total coHec tioiii-- will be. according to Gilliam Whites and Blacks Clash in Kansas and Troops are Called Coffoyville, Kansas, March IS.— i A race war broke out here late to night when a mob of white persons who had besieged the city jail in ai> effort to seize three negroes arrested in connection with an assault on -two white girls attempted to invade the negro quarter. The whites were repulsed itnd nt least three persons were shot. The armed clash came after a group of white youths had kicked in a door of hardware store and ob tained arms and ammunition. Tear gas guns fired info the crowd apparently served only to in crease the anger, and feeling against the negroes which stood at fever heat throughly: the day was fan ned into a Aft the white’"members 01 me throng of 1.000 or more started to enter the colored section two negroes were encountered in a dark doorway and a fist fight immediately began which resulted in the negroes being severely beaten- Other negroes appeared on the scene before the two had risen from the street and immediately opened fire. Pandemonium reigned as scream ing women and children pushed by scrambling men sought safety. Young Waddle with blood stream ing down staggered through the street and into the Ooffeyville Jonr nal office where volunteer attend ants gave him emergency treatment and rush him to a hospital. The sight of the youth’s blood brought another outburst of threats and more than 100 men and boys left the downtown district with cries for. more guns. Urged in by older members, boys between 19 and 21 years let loose a barrage of rocks at the city ball and the crashing of glass from the win dows wlls interspersed with cheers from onlookers. The boys returned to the building with a replenished supply of stones. An American flag waving from a front window of the hall was greeted with jeers. •i Five young men were arrested charged with breaking into hardware stores and looting the stocks of guns ' i A comparison of the enrollment in the rural and city schools during 1925- 20 shows that there were 427,745 white enrollment mid 77.0 of the negro in the rural schools. Out of every 100 white children enrolled in the city system, 82 attended regularly. In the colored city schools, attend ance was best in the large city system, where 79 out of 100 attended regul arly. The city school systems are divided into 39 divisions according to size. Among the eight largest city school systems. Asheville led with a percentage of 87.2 per cent average daily attendance. In the second group. Kinston stood first with a iiercentage of 94.7 for white children. Salisbury stood second in this group ns to white children und first for tbe negroes. Hickory had the best per cent of at tendance in the state. Northhampton county led all the rural systems in the percentage of white enrollment in average daily attendance with 89.1 per cent. There were more white children enrolled in the schools of Johnson than any other county, a total of 11,684, while three others, Guilford. Buncombe, and Gaston, had more than 10,000. An important fact pointed out is the effect of the length of the school term upon average attendance. With one exception, in the city colored schools, the longer the term, the better the pupils attended the schools. CHARLOTTE D. A. R. BACKS MRS GREGORY leaders of the Queen City Chapter Thinks She Had Good Reasons For Inviting Borah. Charlotte. March 18.—Leaders of the Daughters of the American Rev olution in Charlotte are unanimous in their supioort of the action of Mrs. Edwin O. Gregory, of Salisbury, state regent, in inviting Senator W. E. Borah, of Idaho, to speak at the animal state convention of the D. A. R. in Wilmington this month. The attitude of the Charlotte women was revealed this afternoon following complaint from some sections of the state tliut Borah should not be in vited to address the convention on the ground that "he is an enemy of the south anil was an arch enemy of Woodrow Wilson." Mrs. Alston Morrison, chairman nt the central council of the D. A. 11. ill Charlotte, which is representa tive of the various chapters here, said, "I have not heard Mrs. Greg ory's reasons for inviting Senator Borah, but ’ am sure that she is animated by the spirit of patriotism and a desire for natiou-wide unity in loyalty to our country, which is * " mail indTridmiT" *pdtTtK*T views.” Other leaders expressed sentiments akin to those voiced by Mrs. Mor rison.

Earlier in tne night nn attempt was made to lead the crowd to be lieve the suspect had been removed to another jail in a fire truck but, this failed to discourage the leaders. While more than 1.000 persons were milling around the building a group of about 100 men climbed to the roof of an adjoining building nnd placed n ladder aeros to a window of the city hall, in which the jail is located. When two of tbe lenders started across the ladder officers fir ed tear gas guns and the men re treated. i Prior to tbe sortie by the moo, members of the crowd had been per mitted to enter the jail and search it. Officers assured them that tpe negroes were not there and the prisoners were not found- The officials declared that Curtis Smith, one of the negroes, had been smuggled away hidden under hose in a fire truck, which left the fire house in the building. Vanges aud Garvin Hardin, brothers, the other men ar rested, had cleared themselves hud were released the officers insistfd- However, the mob was not satis fied and the attempt to force nn en trance through the second story win w followed. ißome members of the mob ex pressed the belief that all three ne groee, or at least Smith were being held in a room in the builidng near tbe jail.
