ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVII Paris -Populace Given First Real Chance To Acclaim Noted Airman Hundreds Gathered in thej Streets to Pay Homage to Capt. Lindbergh as He Passed Along Streets. . modesty Catches HEART OF PARIS - In Midst of All the Honor! and Glory Accorded Him “Slim” Remains Just as He Was Before Flight. Paris, May 26.—G4>)—< apt. Charles Lindbergh wan paraded before the j eyes of the populace of Paris today I to such cheers as no man lias heard in this city since Woodrow Wilson made his triumphal entry into thej French cnpital in 1919. It was the first opportunity that j the citizens of Paris have had to see; the American aviator since his arrival j on the Le Rourget flying field Satin -! day night, for all of his intervening hours have been devoted to receiving i hours from persons in high places, j Tens of thousands of Frenchmen | had their first sight of the young; American this afternoon as he was ex-: carted from his country's embassy to the Hotel De Ville. Under the trees that border the Champs Klysses the common people of France stood in ( great masses, waving flags and shout-; ing bravo ns the slender and unspoiled j youth from American was driven past them in a state procession. The Palace de In Concorde was I packed and so was the celebrated Rue ' de Itivoli, looking out fwn the grand trees of the Tuillerice Gardens, beau-1 tiful under a brilliant May sun. It! was a day such as poets and painters have celebrated for centuries, perfect springtime in Paris. The flowers were in fresh bloom and the trees wore fresh foliage, while the Tricolor ami the Stars and Stripes fluttered everywhere. Republican guards mounted on horses lined the route, while every few feet or ao stood policemen holding back the frenzied - herd worshippers. The scene was, perfect, but the procession was some- j what of a disappointment to the} - crowds. ■ • • i The hustle and hurry spoiled it j somewhat for the patient folk who. had waited so long for a sight of the. smiling face of the man who left New York one morning and arrived ini Paris the next night. The car in ; which Lindbergh sat sped through the® Champs Klysee at twenty miles ait j hour or more. THE COTTON MARKET Opened Steady Today at Decline of S to 5 Points, July Going Off to 16.11. New York, May 26.— UP) —The cot ton market opened steady today at a decline of 3 to 5 points, under a renewal of pre-holiday liquidation and local selling encouraged by relatively > easy Liverpool cables and more '-fav orable weather reports. July sold off to 16.11 and Decem ber to 16.72 before the end of the first hour, ns the result of weather map showing clearing conditions in the South with warmer temperatures was considered favorable over the bulk of the belt. There appeared to be some doubt whether west Texas had received sufficient rainfall. The rally from the opening decline carried the mnrket back to within 2 or 3 points of yesterday’s closing quo tations, but at 16.20 for July and 16.81 for December there appeared to be a little more selling. The market was comparatively quiet at midday and held fairly steady at net dtefines of about 7 to 10 points. Cotton opened steady: July 16.19: Oct. 16.57: Dec. 16.80; Jan. 16.80; March 17.03. LINER MALOLO HIT ON MAIDEN VOYAGE $7,000,000 Liner Will Have to Be Towed Back to New York Harbor. New York. May 26.— UP)—' The $7,- 000,000 Matson liner Malolo, new pride of the American merchant ma rine, with 310 persons aboard, today was anchored at sea 190 miles from t New York, awaiting a tow to this I. port, after being crippled in a col lision on the first day of her trial cruise. The Malolo. the largest and fastest commercial craft ever built in the United States, and just completed for passenger service between San Fran cisco and Honolulu, yesterday after noon was rammed amidships in a heavy fog and disabled, fifteen miles southwest of Nantucket lightship, by the Norwegian freighter Jacob Chris tensen. The lightship at sea off the Massachusetts coast is a marker fpr trans-Atlantic craft. , With her fire rooms flooded with four feet of water, the Balolo which in the Hawaiian, tongue, means “Fly ing Fish,” flashed distress class by radio and immediately a doaen ships started to her aid.

I Atlanta, (la.. May 26. —(INS) —The Southeast faces its brightest agricul tural prosjiects in years, Lane 11. Young, vice president of the Citizens and Southern National Rank, said in {speaking of the crop outlook for 1927. ! With an abundance of money for | low rates, inventory at retail, whole jsale and manufacturing establishments ! Mil usually healthy, and with the in i duel rial development of this section j making steady, substantial gains, the j Southeast is resting upon a founda tion of stabiliy and the future is one lof soundness and full of isisitive pros pects of a great volumn of business j this coining fall, Mr. Young declared, j rieh Southeastern states, with i almost untouched resources, offer the greatest and safest investments of the ;country, he continued, and the eyes of j the nation are now turned upon us. i “Present business eonditions in this section are satisfactory and will re jmaiu so during the remainder of the j year’’ he said. ■ Mr. Young said the reason for this i healthy condition is that retail mer chants have not bought large stocks iof merchandise, jobbers are not over ' loaded with goods, nnd manufacturers are not stocked up with excessive sup j plies of raw material, j "The present situation is the abso lute reverse of that in 1920. when the 'post-war deflation started,” Mr. Young said. “Then the retailer, jobber and I manufacturer were loaded to the gills I with finished or unfinished products, j “AH lines of business are now oper ating as close to shore as possible and l none have burdensome stocks of mer ehundise. They are making short, frequent purchases and thus provide :a sternly market for all essential com modities. “Money is ensier because of this j condition. Merchants and other busi ness interests, carrying a smaller in ventory, have released hundreds of millions of dollars throughout the na tion that formerly were tide up in ! 'frozen credits.' j “According to a recent survey we [made throughout the State of Georgia, the rottqn crop t is froip a \yeekto ! 19 days enrlier than last year and with !anything like normal weather fhrongh ; out the remainder of the growing nnd maturing season. Georgia will un j doubtedly produce one of the finest l cotton crops in several years, j "The Southeast has gained national recognition as a great and growing industrial section and each year is bringing millions of dollars of new investments. 1 ' County Manager Plan Being Tried. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigb, May 26. —The county man ager plan of county government has just been introduced in Craven county when the board of commissioners at a recent meeting elevated L. H- Cut ler. chairmen of the board, to the po sition of county manager of Craven county. This is the first change to the man-, ager plan made under the new county legislation which provides that the board of county commissioners may appoint a county manager who shall be the administrative head of the coun ty government. Other counties are said to be eon sidering shifting to the manager plan of county government administration, among which Durham county is men tioned. Both the county commission er form and the manager form are recognized under the new law. THE STOCK MARKET Reported by Fenner ft Beane. (Quotations at 1:30 P. M.)

NOTHING N]EW IN DOCUMENT Most of Matter Had Been Covered in the Premier’s Speech in House of Com mons Several Days Ago. London, May 20.—G4»)—The British government today made good its prom ise to publish some of the documents alleged to have been uncovered in re cent sensational raid on the Soviet House in London, headquarters of the soviet trade delegation nnd Areos Ltd., the Russian commercial organi zation. It issued a white paper containing these documents to illustrate as the captain said, "the hostile activities of the soviet government, nnd the third internationale against Great Britain.’’ The most interesting part of the contents from an international if not from the British standpoint, was a list of addresses allegedly found in possession of Anton Miller, soviet s.vcher clerk, who Premier Baldwin told the House of Commons in Tues day's speech, was found hurriedly' burning papers in his office when the raiders appeared. While the white paper gave this out simply as a “list of addresses found in the possession of Anton Mil ler" it is assumed to be the. same list which Premier Baldwin described as a “list of secret cover addresses, or ‘il legal’ addresses for communication with communist parties in the United States. Mexico, South America, Can ada, Australia. New Zealand nnd South Africa.’’ The edge was rather taken off most of the other documents from the fact that the premier read them or quoted extensively from them in Tuesday’s speech in which he announced the in tention of the government to breijk relations with soviet Russia and ter minate the trade agreement of 1031.'' STORM AT NORFOLK AND PORTSIMOUTH KILLED SIX Most of Them Were Killed at Base ball Game When Part of Roof on Grandstand Was Blown Off. Norfolk, May 26.—< A ’). —Site arc dead today and more than 30 recov ering from injuries ns a result of the windstorm which yesterday struck the Norfolk-Portsmouth section. Two of the dead and most of the injured were among the 2,000 fans who had crowd ed into the Portsmouth Virginia League baseball park for a game at which Kennesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of baseball, was a guest of honor. A section of the roof of the grandstand was blown off. and fell within a few feet of Commissioner Landis, but he escaped uninjured, and today was ou his way to New York. William Barker, of Craddock, died today as a result of injuries sustained at the ball park, bringing the death list here to two, Richard P. McWil liams of Portsmouth having died in a hospital soon after the tragedy. Three negroes were killed, one died later, and four others were injured when the roof of a warehouse near Norfolk union station was torn off and dashed upon them. I It appeared today that all remain ing injured would recover. H. C. Everheart. president of the Suffolk Amusement Co., was badly injured, but this morning was pro nounced by physicians as virtually out of danger. Many who were treated by physic ians were not badly hurt and return ed to their homes. WATERS CONTINUE TO FLOOD MANY PARISHES Despite Warnings, Many Residents Have Refused to Leave Their Homes.

State Equalization Board Is In Session in Raleigh Now Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh. May 26. —Just what pro portion of the $3,250,000 educational equalization fund each county will re ceive. ns well as the valuation of all property in each county and the school tax rate will be determined by the State equalization boar<j which ijy iii wssion-herv fortsy irnrt-wVeW ‘nnfyJWif over into tomorrow. The most difficult problem the board faces is determining the new valua tion of the property in the various counties, since this new valuation this time must be estimated, since there was not sufficient time allowed to per mit of an actual revaluation in each county. However, records have been, obtained from all the counties of the valuation listed on the tax books 1 in 1925-26 together with the school ex penses for that year as yielded by a 40 cents tax for school purposes. Taking these figures as a working basis, the budget, estimates for the coming school year of 1927-28 have been found and where the present valua tion is insufficient to yield that amount from a 40 cents tax, the valuation will probably be increased sufficiently to yield the necessary revenue required by law to operate the schools for six months. It is believed that an in crease of from only 6 to 8 per cent, in the valuation will yield the neces sary revenue, according to Leltoy •Martin, secretary of the board. But whether the board will do this or not is not eertnin, although it is the course being recommended by Mr. Martin, who has been devoting several months of study to the situation. For while the law allows a maximum tax of 45 cents for school purposes, the tax at present stands at 40 cents, and it is believed that the board will pre fer to make slight increases in the DR. ARTHUR PRITCHARD DIED SUDDENLY TODAY Was Leading Surgeon of Asheville and Head of the. French Broad Has pital There. Asheville, May 26. — UP) —Dr. Ar thur T. Pritchard, 45 years, old. lead ing Asheville surgeon, and head of the French Broad Hospital died sud denly early today. His death was at tributed to acute indigestion and heart disease. Dr. Pritchard was a son of tin; late Jeter C. Pritchard, who suc cessfully served as United States Sen ator from North Carolina and judge of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The surgeon was stricken at nine o’cluock last night while visiting at the home of a neighbor.

Following the determination of the properly valuations in the several counties, the allotments of the equali zation fund will be made. It is in the apportioning of this Jl) equalizajlion fujul thgt. the boa id fnora difficult taik. However, since it must be distributed in ao eordnnee with the ability of the coun ties to raise the necessary funds by taxation to meet the cost of maintaye ing i he constitutional six months term. This cost is measured by the Novem ber budget for the preceding year, in cluding only teachers' salaries, plus 15 per cent, of that amount for operat ing cxitenses. But the ability to meet the de termined cost is reckoned by flip valua tion of the property on the tax books of the counties participating. But here more trouble is encountered, since hardly two counties have the same standard of valuation, it is well known that the valuation ranges anywhere from 50 to SO per cent, on nil average, the valuation in some comities being as low as 2.3 per sent. as in Jackson county and as high as 98 per cent, in others, as in Carteret county, ac cording to Mr. Martin. Before the next division of the equalization fund the board will un doubtedly attempt to make an actual revaluation of all property in the various counties, since no adequate and equable distribution of funds can be made without this actual revalua tion. And such a revaluation would undoubtedly reduce the tax rate ma terially in the majority of the counties in the state. However, for the time being, the revaluation for this year nnd the consequent apportionment of the equalization will have to be done largely by estimate. DR. FRANCIS E.

J. Bryson chiefly to de velopments and the extension of opera tions at two of the largest companies - nt Hemp and Glendon, in Moore conn- j ty, producing pyroph.vllite, a eommer- ( rial variety of tnlc. A further increase in the output of the miuerala during the current year is expected by the geologist with preparations being made to operate on a much larger scale at Glendon. Machinery to increase the output of the mines at the place is being in stalled and will be ready to begin operations within a short time. Pyro phyllite will be marketed from Glen don in both powdered and unwed form. According to geologists, the only commercial deposits of pyrophyllite known in the United States are found in North Carolina. Will Cotton Acreage Be Reduced? Raleigh.

Raleigh, May 23. —Henry K. Burgwyn, formerly a director of the State Prison, has resigned from the board, and has been elected general manager of the Caledonia Prison farm, in Halifax county. Walter D. liaroque. banker and farmer of Kinston, has been appointed by Gov ernor Mcljean to succeed Mr. Burgwyn. Since the resignation of N. C. McNair as general manager of the Caledonia prison farm in January. 1926, there has been no official general manager. though G. N- Moore has been acting in that capacity, as we’l as being general farm foreman. However, the farm is so large, with more than •1.000 acres under cultivation, with 570 prison ers employed—that it was consider ed necessary to have a general man ager. Because Mr. Burgwyn has been a member of the board for a number of years and is thoroughly familiar with conditions, nnd be onime he owns a farm of his own just across the fiver from Caledonia, he wa* selected for the position. --• ■ j THE TRIBUMpI PRINTS TODAY’S NEWS TODAYS —- N°. lliJi SEARCH FOR FRE« AIRMEN INEWM "fW REPORT COii I 2 Workmen in N£w Fourill ! land Tell of Hearing; J| Crash Which May Been Caused by PlrflmHß • SAME DAY THAT ?
