General Shek in Statement
Says Americans and the
British Should Not Have

Shanghai, March 31.—(/P)—The
Chinese casualties from the Anglo-
Amorionn bombardment of Soeony Hill
!!t .Vaulting Inst Thursday wore esti
mated by the Cantonese commander,
('hang Kai Shek. in a stntemen to
day, ns six killed and fifteen wounded,
with the majority of the victims civil
jails. From forty to fifty houses
were destroyed.
Clinng emphasized that' a full and
accurate report was not yet available,
and that these figures were subject to
revision.
("hang said he had instructed the
Nanking garrison commander to lodge
a protest a with British and Ameri
can naval authorities against “what I
consider the unjustified bombardment
of the city." •
"No notice was given us before
the bombardment," he added, “and no
time was allowed in which to take
measures to protect foreign lives and
property. The nationalist military
authorities consider the bombardment
a great indignity and our officers and
men at Nanking are deeply arouse nnd
incensed.”
Reports concerning Nanking which
he- characterized as exaggerated had
“created a tense international atmos
phere,” he said, adding:
"As a result of these reports, it is
feared we have lost much of the sym
pathy which formerly existed for us
among liberty loving people. The na
tionalist lenders want friendly rela
tions with the foreign powers.
"We are not anti-foreign, but pro-
Chinese. Our aim is to secure inter
national equality—to become an equal
in the family of nations.”

gation of the possibility that Alex S.
Jones, partner in an Asheville plumb

mysteriously missing for four days,
may have been slain, and reports that
Mr. Jones had been seen alive late

Mr. Jones, 55 years old. last was
seen in a row boat on Lake James
near Morganton last Sunday after
noon. A companion returning to the!

Jones found the boat calmly floating
near the shore, with no trace of Mr.
Jones remaining, and with no indica
tion that he might have fallen into'
the. lake. He is- said to have been a

Nobody active in the investigation
has advanced a positive theory that

Will Law Affecting Child Labor
In State Accomplish Purpose?
Tho Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
By J. (\ BAHKEKVIU.
[ Ra eifch. March Bl.—While the con
troversy still goes on over the reef Mil
amendment to the consolidated statutes
relating to the employment, of chil
dren between 14 and It! years of age.
, and the clause relating to certain ed
ijueational requirements, nothing has
l J yet been said with regard to the es-
| feet which the law would have undei
j the various tentative interpretations
j that have been placed upon it,
l As tentatively interpreted by At
[sistant Attorney General Frank Nash,
the amendment would positively pre
vent any one under sixteen years ..of
age working more than eight hours
■ a day or more than 48 hours a week.
According to the intention of t3ic
framers of the amendment and Sena
. tor Hines, of Mecklenburg, the author I
of the amendment, it would prohibit
any between the ages of 14 and f|6
working more than eight hours a dly
or 48 hours a week, except
dren who had completed tile foJth
grade in school, ill which event racy
would bo permitted to work ten hotrs
a day. or (SO hours a Week, as- at
present.
So far. the entire controversy has
been about what the law really meant
—whether it accomplishes what, its
farmers intended, or whether it goes
farther, and cuts the working day of
children beween 14 nnd 16 years down
to eight hours a day. whether they
have completed the fourth graded in
school or not. K ,
If the law does wlmt its framers
intended—that is. permits only tlfese
children who have completed the
fourth grade to work ten hours a day
—theii it will affect only from 1,500
to 2.000 children, according to Frank
Carter of the child welfare commis
sion.
But if the interpretation of thp
amendment as given by Attorney Gen
eral Nash stands, then all of the 6.-
543 children between the ages of 14
and 16 now employed will automatic
ally be thrown out of employment,
whether they have completed the
fourth grade in school or not. At
present, fully two-thirds of these fi.-
BOYS TO BE TRIED FOR
WHIPPING AGED WOMAN

Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. March 31.—The tliiw
'dsutats" from, the "Hurricane" -xks
trict of Wake county —Gaston Jones.
Snde Ray and Otis Harrison—who
called Mrs. Fannie Davis. 75-year old
widow from her bed in the early hours
of the morning Sunday, March 20th,
and then administered’ a beating to
I the aged woman when she refused to
cook n chicken for them and do "other
things" which they requested, are to
be given a preliminary hearing Mon
day afternoon before Justice Roy M.
Banks.
The hearing will be attended by
Solicitor Rrassfield, who conducted
the investigation of the flogging of
the aged woman and whose continued
efforts to run down the affair, finally
resulted ill the arrest of the three
young men, who are believed to be
the nucleus of a gang of youths who
have terrorized the "Hurricane" sec
tion of the county for months. The
"Harrienne” section is one of the more
remote sections of the county with
a reputation for lawlessness and the
manufacture of corn liquor.
Solicitor Brassfield, it is expected,
will examine the witnesses. It is
expected that the trio will be bound
over to Superior Court, where Solici
tor Brassfield will later be called upon
to prosecute them on the charges of
breaking and entering, larceny and
assault. The three are being held in
the Wake county jnil in default of
$2,500 bnil each.
The whipping of Mrs. Davis is gen
erally conceded to have been one of
the most brutal occurrences ever re
vealed in the county. According to
her story, the three young roustabouts,
in a decidedly intoxicated condition,
roused her from her bed in tile small
hours of the morning, and demanded
that she not only drink some of their
liquor but cook some chickeus and oth
er food for them. When she refused

543 children between the ages of 16
and 16 have completed the fourth
grade or more ill school. Thus if the
law stands ns its framers intended
it would apply only to about 2.000
children already Employed by limiting
their working day to eight hours, in
stead of ten.
Os course what this amendment was
intended to do was to extend the edu
cational qualification. In fact, the
ilmendment was proposed as an indi
rect substitute for the Creekmnrp bill,
which failed in the house, which would
have extended the compulsory educa
tion limit to 16 years for those who
had not completed the fourth grade
in school.
Those in the senate, seeing the ne
cessity for boys and girls completing
at least the fourth grade before going
to work, nnd likewise realizing that
eight hours a day was long enough
for any child to work, especially if
the child hud not completed the fourth
grade, deeided to adopt this amend
ment. But nccordtiiig to a number
of the senators they desired to safe
guard those children especially if they
had already completed the fourth grade
ill school. Hence the clause was add
ed by Senator Hines, exempting those
children who had already completed
Hie fourth grade from its provisions.
And this is the manner in which
the amendment was generally con
strued until Assistant Attorney Gen
■rnl Nash, in his informal ruling, held
Hint the statute must either apply to
all between the ages of 14 and 16. re
ignrdiess of the educational qualifica
tions, or else be unconstitutional,
since if it excepted some because they
excelled educationally and imposed
upon them a longer day and gave a
shorter day to those less bright or
less privileged, then the law became
class legislation and was unconstitu
tional.
So it now seems likely that the
constiutlonality of the amendment will
eventually have to be deeided by the
Supreme Court, although Attorney
General Brtiiiimit must yet give his
interpretation.
And in the meantime, children be
tween 14 and 16 will continue to work
ten hours a day, 60 hours a week.
THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady Today at an Advance
of 7 to » Points on Further Buy
ing and Covering.
New York, March 31.— (A*) —The
cotton market opened steady today at
un advance of 7 to 0 points on further
trade buying and covering, promoted
by reports of unfavorable’ weather in
the South. The advance met southern
selling and considerable realizing
which caused reactions of 6 or 8
points after the call, but local buying
at the decline steadied prices. At
the end of the first hour July was
ruling around 14.35 and December
14.77, or 7 to 8 points net higher on
active months.
Private cables said trade calling
and continental buying bad absorbed
liquidation and hedge selling in the
Liverpool market, but reported pessi
mistic feeling in Manchester due to
tile fact that offers for cotton goods
from India were too low to result in
business.
Buying promoted by unfavorable
weather reports and continued absence
of any selling pressure from the South
later carried the market up to 14.30
for .July and 14.80 for December, or
about 10 to 11 points net higher.
July sold off to 14.35 at midday,
with the general market showing re
actions of 4 or 5 points from the
best.
Cotton futures opened steady: May

secrecy that has ever surrounded the
manufacturer's personal affairs and
learn whether the drivers of the large
car that forced his small coupe from
the road Sunday night and sped away
leaving him unconscious in the smash
ed machine, did so deliberately or by
accident.
Neither the F.ederal Department of

been clamped even tighter after the

fact of attempted assassination to be
come known after it had been a close
ly guarded secret since Sunday night
at 8:30 o’clock.
No arrest has been made, and none
in sight, according to Thomas C. Wil

Federal Department of Justice. He
denied morning newspaper stories that
his men had made numerous arrests,
nnd that the prisoners were held under
secret charges.
"There has been no violation of

I Retail trade and saving deposits show

| compared to February a year ago, ac
cording to the monthly business re

Wholesale trade dropped slightly |
along with the ratio of colections.
Building permits were about one-helf
,of the total reported for January. 1!>26.)
the report said. j
Coal mining in Alabama and Tenn-I
essee for the month of February was
reported as much more active than
for the same month last year, and
while productionof pig iron in Ala
bama was somewhat smaller than in
January, 1027. it was greater than in
the preceeeding February.
Debits to individual accounts, re
flecting the general volume of business,
declined 11.8 compared with January
and were 10.2 per cent less than in
the proceeding four weeks. Isians
and discounts by member banks in
selected cities of the district on March
0 were slightly greater than four weeks
earlier, but smaller on the correspond
ing date a year ago. Total bills and
securities held by the Federal Reserve
Bank were nearly 25 millions less than
at that time due to smaller holdings of
United States securities and bills that
were bought on the open market.
Stocks on hand in stores wore also
greater than a year ago, probably due
to anticipated spring business, the re
port stated.
According to the review consider
ably less fertilizer has been sold to

time last. year. Weather conditions
for the 'most part have been favorable
for farm work, although rains have

of orders gave strength to some of
