From Home of President
lifrl in, ju no S.—o4*)—Germany's
veteran president. Field Marshal von
Hindenburg, received Chamberlin and
Levine at the executive mansion to
day, and congratulated them on their
achievement in spanning the Atlantic
by air f!om New York to Germany.
The interview, which was of a, core
dial nature, lasted 18 minutes. Pres
ident von Hindenburg handed each of
his visitors n fine framed autograph
ed portrait of himself. I
After questioning the Americans as
to the details of their flight, he ex
pressed the hope that it would con-!
tribute to bringing the American and !
German peoples in closer communion. I
Chamberlin and Levine were accom-1
pnnied to the President's residence
by the American ambassador, Dr. i
Jacob G. Kchurman. A crowd mass
ed outside in the Wilhelmstrusse,
gave them a rousing volley of hochs
upon their entrance and exit, while a
pair of statuedike sentries in field
gray and steel helmets standing on
either side of the door saluted and.
cl'cked heels in most approved Prus-!
sian style.
Ambassador Rchurman was in top |
hat and ceremonial morning garb, but
the aviators were in the only clothes
they brought with them.
They arrived in a downpour, but
left in brilliant sunshine, giving the
waiting platoon of photographers
their inning. The Ambassador was
slightly annoyed at the cameramen's
persistence, and finally shouted au
energetic “Let's go, boys," or its'
eqirvalent irt German, and the car |
whirled the trio back to the embassy. ,
The inajordoino of the presidential'
household, in full uniform, with ivory I
headed cane and cocked hnt under his 1
oran. said .farewell from the top of thoi
\ steps.
The embassy today brought out a
new American flag in honor of its
guests, a a banner of such ample pro
portions as to dominate the entire
Wilhelmsplats.
The Stars and Stripes were dis--
played all about the business section
of Berlin, often in dusters with the
German national colors, and the Prus-.
sißn state flag. Seldom had such
decorntions been seen for an occas
ion other than n national fete day. j
Crowds remamed in front of the
embassy, braving occasional severe
showers to get a look at the aviators,
every appearance of whom evoked
shouts which could be heard blocks
away.
Uncertain About Future. >
Berlin, June 8.-—(^)- —Clarence
Chamberlin reiterated this afternoon
that he bad not decided on his future
plans.
"An American consortium has of
fered mO SIOO,OOO if I would fly back
to the United States," he said, “but
naturally I can only begin to think
about it now.”

' Raleigh. June B.—ls automobile 11»
| cense sales continue to keep up at
their presenl rn,te. since theye were

! license division hopes that much of
I the congest ion that usually occurs
the last of June will be avoided, ac
’* cording to It, A. Houghton. Commis- !
. sioner of Revenue.
’ I So far, the public has been respond
ing quite well in buying license
1 plates—even better than last year—
Hiid the department much
encouraged. However, the* last fe.v
days there has been a little slocking
up in the number of new licenses be
ing purchased, and Commissioner
Doughton is anxious that there be no
let-up at this time.
, 1 "If the automobile owners who hnve
already received Che cards which have
! been mailed to them will only take
or mail these cards to the nearest
branch office of the license division,
I and get their new licenses now, in
stead of waiting until. tomorrow or
j next week, they will save themselves
much trouble and bother, ns well as
' assist the department in nvoidiug a
last-minute rush." said Commissioner
I Doughton. “And those who went
through the filial rush days last year
and the year 'before, when hundreds
of jteople stood in line for hours in
order to get their licenses, have no
desire to go through this experience
again, I am sure.
j "At present it is possible to secure
a license within a few minutes, upon
presentation of the card which has
* been mailed to every automobile own
er. and there is no reason why a tnn
| jority of the people shoul wait until
the last week or last few days before
securing their new licenses. The fact
that these licenses are for but hnlf a
year, instead of the full year, with the
result that the plates cost only half
as much ns usual, should also tend
to si>eed up the sale of tiie plates.
| “Beonuse of these facts, we are
hoping that the people will respond
promptly and are urging those who
| buve dot yet secured their license
| plhtes to do so immediately, and there
by have themselves and tire depart-',
went much unnecessary trouble and

Horne Brew Had Great “Odor.”
Nashville, Tenn., June 7.—A smell,
termed by old timers as “great,” per
• vaded the federal building offices im
mediately next to the prohibition en
forcement squad's department, when
, a quantity of ltowe brew, stored in a
closet for that purpose, exploded with i
a bang not unlike that of a machine

until the* cause of the noise was
learned.
Upon investigation, however, the
trouble was located ia the closet,
which was filled with broken glass
and with the “real stuff" dripping
from the walls. Only one bottle re
mained unbroken.

W. L. Neal, member of the Caldwell

It developed into more than a fight
aghinst the issuance of these bonds.
It was a fight against the Caldwell

NOT CHANGED
He Was Transferred Be
cause It Was Thought
He Would Get Better
With Suspense Over.
Atlanta, June B.—OP)—Earl Car
roll. New York theatrical producer,
entered the Federal penitentiary here
today and became prisoner 24,909,
nearly two mouths after he began his
journey from New York to enter the
prison. The big steel gates closed
slowly behind him and he began sav
ing his sentence of n year and n day
imposed following conviction on a
charge of prejury. Carroll suffered n
collapse on April 13th. while en route,
and was removed from the train at
Greenville, S. C.
The usual prison formalities were
dispensed with and Carroll was taken
to the) hospital immediately, where he
was placed in a private ward.
Warden John W. Snook was wait
ing when the ambulance drew up be
fore the hospital, and superintended
his entrance.
“Hello, Mr. Snook," the warden said
the producer replied when inside the
walls. Dr. C. P. Nellans, prison physi
cian. who accompanied Carroll from
Greenville, had roused him and told
him “Here is Warden Snook.”
"The transfer was successful, and
he is in the same state that he has
been for several weeks,” tile warden
declared, after Carroll had been ad
mitted to the prison. "The prison
physician said that as long ns Carroll
stayed in Greenville lie probably
would not improve because of the
dread of prison hanging over him.
The trip is over now. and he should
improve."
Mrs. Carroll was near collapse from
the strain and shock of her husband
entering the prison, Norm an Carroll, I
the producer's brother, who iceom-.
panted his brother here, sairLon 'their I
arrival.
Norman Carroll said the family did I
not accompany the producer to the
prison as the shock would have been
too great for Mrs. Carroll to stand, j
Asked if Mrs. Carroll wished to
make a statement. Norman Carroll
said she could not at present.
“I'm in a daze myself,” he said.
"We can't understand how the gov- ,
eminent physician sent in a report
to move m.v brothers, as all other
physicians who have examined him
were unanimous in saying that his
condition was very serious, and that
any move toward prison might mean I
| death or something more tragic.”

Rich Gold Deposits in State
Need Only To Be Mined Right
The Tribune Bureau

By J. C. BASKERVILL
Raleigh. June 8;—Gold deposits
1 with elay and ore much richer than
, the majority in Alaska have been in
North Carolina for yenrs and gone
unwnrked. when all that is needed to
I make them pay is the right kind of
I organization and management.
• This was the opinion today of J.
| H. Bryson, state geologist, after exam
ining the latest report of the United
| States department of commerce on
! gold mining operations in Alaska and
I the mass of data presented relating to
1 these operations. .In Alaska, the tna
-1 i jority of the placer deposits yield but
from 40 cents to 50 cents a ton in
, gold, and the richest deposits only
*1.28 a ton. The average yield for
’ all types of deposits and mines is but
|75 cents a ton. Yet during 1020,
: Alaska produced $3,008,500 worth of
gold, indicating that its mining must
i be profitable even where the "pay
f dirt" does not run more than 40 cents
J a ton. And the wages paid for labor
run from $5 to sl2 a day in Alaska.
I Yet North Carolina has deposits far
I richer than the Alaskan deposits.
Surface soil from the gold deposit in

S. S. Foster, of Kannapolis, is slow
‘ ly recovering from severe shock at

following an accident at 12:05 p. m.
' when lie was struck by an automo
bile, said to have been occupied by
' J. 1,. Steley and his son, of Char

, Mr. Foster, apparently 55 years of
{ age, was not seriously hurt, according
to hospital attaches, but is suffering
, from painful cuts and bruises about
the head and body. The mishap oc
, ctirred, it was said, as Mr. Foster
. was leaving Mill No. 2 at Kannapolis
during the noon hour, and crossing

Th* automobile which knocked Mr.

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Firm «1 Advance of 17 to 1#
Points on Covering and Rebuying.
New York. June 8. —04")—The cot
tou market opened firm today at an
ndvanee of 17 to 1!) points on eover
-1 ing and rebuying which appeared to
be influenced by relatively firm Liver
pool cables and failure of early weath
er reports to confirm fully yesterday’s
late rumors of rains in West Texas.
October sold up to 16.75 and Jan
uary to 17.05, net advances of about
22 to 25 points, but the higher prices
seemed to attract considerable realiz
ing or renewed liquidation and the
market was several points off from the
best at the end of the first hour.
There was a little more selling after
the publication of the weekly report
of the weather bureau, but it was
absorbed on reactions of S to 12
points, and the market steadied tip
again. The failure of favorable fea
tures in the weather news to bring
in a greater volume of offerings seem
ed to promote covering. October sold
up from 16.62 to 16.75, with the''
general list showing net advances of
21 to 26 points at midday.
Cotton futures opened firm: July

Woman Survives Two Attempts At
Suicide.
■Winston-Salem, June 7, —The condi
tion of Mrs. C. C. Barnes, of Whipple,
W. Va., who attempted to take her
life Monday by shooting her self in
the chest with a revolver and then
taking bichloride of mercury, remains
serious, according to rejmrts from the
hospital.
* The woman left a letter adressed
to Mrs. C. H. Wells, in whose home
the tragedy occurred, indicating that
she had planded to take her life, be-'
cause of ill health.
The new amateur golf champion of
British Columbia, Dick Moore of the
Victoria Country Club, is only eigh
• teen years old. ,
mated to cover approximately 3.500
acres. Out of 34 samples recently
taken at random from different set
s tions of the deposits, the assays showed
i an average of from $lB to S2O a ton.
i Heretofore it has not been found
s practical to work these deposits by
) the old fashioned /mining methods,
f since the work was too slow and the
handling of the ore too expensive.
However, by means of modern mining
■ methods and machinery, engineers es-
I timate that much of this gold-bear
i ing clay and ore could be mined at a
I cost of but a few cents n ton, and a
i good profit made.
But to mine any of the various de
; posits in the state would require more
i capital and machinery than many own
ers of a tract could afford to invest in
1 its development, engineers point out,
: since many of the deposits, while
rich, are small and thus will not war
' rant the expenditure of a large sum
in their development.
However, if a sort of mobile mining
1 apparatus could be worked out, in
cluding some kind of an ore crusher,
so that much of the gold could be re
moved from <le|M)sit to deposit as the
ones being worked become exhausted,
it would be possible for North Caro
lina to take its place as one of the
major gold producing states, engineers
believe.
There nre rumblings here nnd there
in the state that some move may be
made soon to develop some of these
riclt gold deposits, but so far nothing
j definite or tangible has been tincov,
ered by the department of conserva
tion nnd development, whose busi
ness it is to keep its ear to the ground
for rumblings of this sort.
SUPPLY OF LABOR IN
STATE EXCEEDS DEMAND
Unemployment Situation More Serious
Now Than in Number of Months.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh. June B.—The subtly of
labor in the state is still considerably
exceeding the demand, and the un
employment situation is perhaps more
serious now than in a number of
months, according to Frank I>. Grist,
Commissioner of Labor and Printing.
While it is true that much of the
present slump in the demand for labor
is due partly to the fact that this is
a sort of "in between" season, a
number of other factors lutve also
entered into it.
The dry weather of the last several
[ weeks has had a depressing effect
1 upon the demand for farm labor, but
Mr. Grist anticipates ,an increasing
| demand for this t.vi>e of labor as a
result of the recent rains, which will
greatly stimulate activity in the
agricultural areas, especially in the
trucking sections of the state.
Building and work is
quieter than it has been in many
weeks, demand for this type of labor
shows, nnd there is nothing at present
to indicate any increased activity in
this line any time soon.
The greatest demand for labor dur
ing the past week has been in the
vicinity of Salsibury, where 142 were
given employment through the agency
of the department. Charlotte is sec
ond, having placed 122 through the
office there, while ’Wilmington is in
third place with 116. The Winston-
Salem office placed 101 unemployed
in jobs during the week just past,
and Asheville supplied 00 jobless with
jobs. Greensboro placed but 85, Ral
eigh only 58 and Rocky Mount but
three.
While a total of 717 were given
employment during the past week
through the various employment of
fices maintained by the department
in cooperation with the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor, there were 961 new
registrations during the week, show
ing a preponderance of labor over the
demand.
