, Commotion.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--CoiiAdcnt-ly
predicting its defeat, adminisration
leaders hoped for liiinl disposition by the
enate today of the P.orah proposal for
a world economic, u-onfereuee, although
the list of ueuators prepared to speak
on the amendment made a vote doubt
Jul, with the posibility of a delay over
the New Year's holiday. Included
among the half dozen senators to speak
on the proposal today, tseuutor 1'orah,
who presented it as mi" amendment to the
naval appropriation bill, planned to
make another address replying exten
sively to President Harding's letter read
in the wnate yesterday in which the
executive virtually nsked for the amend
Blent 's defeat.
In addition to Mr. p.orah, others ta
dieeuss the proposal were Senators John
eon, California, Watson, Indiana, Cap
per, Kansas, and Mom's, of New Ham,
hire, from the republican side, ami
""ratably Senator Hitchcock, . of Ne
liffjiska, ajid other democrats.
With a dramatic turninc point in the
senar fight over the proposal reached in
the refyling in the seunte yesterday of
the President's letter to Senator Lodge,
of Massnthtwet t, the republican leader.
Hot only we're administration leader
predletiuR its defeat today but. upon
tho present status of the battle, support
crs of the amendment were mneoding it.
They were understood, however, tui I
etill endeavoring to pain support for it
among doubtful memU'rs, Senator Bo
rah himself, on the floor late yesterday
said he expected the amendment to bo
thrown out.
As to the nature of the negotiation?
which the President's letter barely more
thn hinted were in progress to carry
out the administration ' purpose of being
helpful in the present economic, diflicul
ties of Europe there had beeu no light

HAYS WARNS AGAINST
SECTIONAL ANIMOSITY
Director General Of Motion
Picture Industry Warns
Against Racial Prejudices
Or Class Legislation.
KANSAS CITY, MO.. Dee. -!. -
The spirit of America must not toler
ate an arraying of class against class,
sectional animosity or religious preju
dice. Will H. Hays, dirts-tor general
of the motion picture industry, declared
at a banquet of the Phi Delta Theta
fraternity convention here last night.
"Guard ngan this as you would
guard against a pestilence,'' he nd
moiiished. "The country has no great
er enemy than one who would thus
divide the country against itself. More
agitation and more motion are not
progress . The. vicious eircle is not
the straightest distance between honest
effort and highe-t rewards. Keineinlier
that one man is liettor than another
tinly when he Ixiuives himself better.
"Give every well behaved man his
equality, and rejuire from hiiu his full
ehare of accountability."
Mr, Hays asserted in an address to
the woman's city club that IJoseoe. E.
''Fatty 1 Arbmkle .probably would not
apiwar soon in any inotio npicture, but
.would b given an opportunity to di
rect 4)bn productions.

Preacher Thows Arbuckle
Meeting Into Uproar
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29. A
mass meeting called by the Los
Angeles co-operative council for bet
ter films to discuss the return of
RoFcoe E . . Arbuckle, comedian, to
the screen, was thrown into uproar
yesterday when evangelist Cuddy,
head of a miMion, attempted to en
ter into the tiejate on behalf of
Arbuckle.
Interrupted by cries of "sit
flown," "throw him out," and
"Fanatic," Cuddy accused the
ministers of Los Angeles of med
iling in affairs outside their prov
ince when they condemned Will H.
Hays, chief of the film industry for
his action in removing the ban on
Arbuckle. He appealed to the
churchmen to "shake themselves
from the mire" and, when his
lecklcrs grew more boisterous, ask
;d them to listen to him, "as a
representative of Jesus Christ."
Upon suggestion of the Rev R
P "Bob" Shuler, president of the
ministerial union, Cuddy finally was
granted three minutes in which to
present his views, after which the
meeting peacefully adopted a resolu
tion protesting the return of Ar
buckle as "tending to lower the
itandard of right living among the
foung of our country."

the sotison-
:i blizzard of snow and j
.sleet which, starting yestcnhiy under (
moderate temperatures, became over-
night an icy gale which threatened to
pnaly.e all transportation.
The storm took its toll of hundreds I
of injured. Prom curly last evening j
until- daybreak hospital ambulances!
were bringing in pedestrians with ;
broken ajnis, fractured legs or cracked
skulls, who had
fallen victims to the
jtreaehery of ice covered streets. Most
.hospitals were crowded to capacity, and
the urobilin of earing for new arri
vals became increasingly grave as the j
; list of ' injured mounted. j
At least two persons are reported to
have been killed in fa list on the city's
1 thoroughfares.
I The wind reached high velocities, j
Combined with the unaeuNtomed burden I
'of huow, it worked havoc with above-
ground electric and telephone lines, J
street ear cables, roofs of buildings and
I large trees.
' Lives of pedestrians in some section's ,
; were endangered liy falling signs, tuiub-j
j ling chimneys and smokestacks. Thous

' lievod to have been sustained on tiling
and ritateu Islands, where numerous
;! .small craft were washed ashore. Along
ithe water front the toll of damaged
i buildings was reported heavy.'
City officials were out bright and

Throughout the storm some ti.Oiin re

unable to do more than keep the
thoroughfares passable. street and
elevated nx lined were partially incapaci

night crews to keep the tracks clear.
The sleet encrusted the tracks so
thickly that part of an elevated train

W. J. MATHERLY SPEAKS.
University Professor Makes
Fine Talk To Gathering
Of Men And Women.
An interesting picture of the old'
jPniVcrsity in the days follow ing the
j Civil War,' , when Pn-kideut liattlo and
his four or five professors, constituting
the entire faculty, wero utrtlggling
along on an annual appropriation of
7.50D. " nd a glowing visualization of
Ithe "Pniversity tluit is now, and tliat-i
to be, with a student body of 2,500
or more, new buildings and dornutorie,
increased faculty aud loy.ij alumni,
were the high lights in tho two best
speeches, of the evening at" the annual
Carolina alumni and student banquet
h. hl at the Country Club Thursday eve
ning. Tho two speeches were deliver!
bv Prof. .1. It'i: ho vn Carolina 'S4r
j formerly of the faculty of Harvard
; ;niversity, and a native of Gastow
county, and Prof. Walter J. Matherly,
of the chair of 'bu'siucMt administration
at the University. Prof. Matherly was
the chief speaker of the evening. A re
cent addition to tln, fneulty of tli.
University, coming from the Universitj
of Missouri, ho has rapidly won di
Unction as a University taker mne"h
in demand at county gathering and
the like. , ' t
'The University's Future," was hi
abject, and he discussed it under thv '
following four heads, and a dependent ,
on . the following factors: . (1) The
citato Irt-gislature, ('.) the faculty (V
Active, loyal alumni (4) University
ideals. '"
Discussing the need of more support
from the legislature, Prof. Matherly
declared the University looked for 500
more students within tho next two
yc:ii. He cited the great increase
in high school graduates over th
state. Thia numlter had grown front
.I'm) in mil) to 4.213 iu PJ22. This
spring he looked for the . high sehol
to turn out 5,000 'graduates, shd by
V.'-lH fT 7,500. These "boys and girls
ate going' to college and the college
must lie prepared for tbcm he declared.
The University needed three morcdormi
toie, three new el.-fssroom and a
woman ' building. The high school
4 stem of the lit ate is feeding the col
leges and wo must take tare of them. -
In the second place, the Uniyersity
growth depends on the faeulty peron
ml. The quality of the teaching force
must be kept up. There must be bet
ter salaries . paid and more instructors
employed. The University must e
curo the men who can "deliver the
Ijoods. "
'' In the third place, the ftlumni of the
University must be active, loyal and in
ti rested. It is not enough to atteml
every .-football game, the -University
playi The ahimni must take interest
iu the high school graduates and di
r.rt them to the University.
In the fourth place, declared Prjof. -Matherly,
the University must hold tip
the highest ideals. A University with
out ideals is dead. The University
must hold up the ideal of productive
service, productive .effort." The Uni
wrsity must dignify the glory of labor.
Prof. Matherly is one of the moat
convincing and forceful speaker local
aiiimni of the University have ever
heard frum the State institution. He
is a young . man, having been out of
college only seven years. -
Prof. J. Lee Love, the next speak
er, told in a very amusing and inter
esting maimer of the early days of the
University when students w-ere few
and equipment meager. He told of
how president;! of denominational col
leges went to Raleigh to try to de
feat what little appropriations tlie,
University was getting. . Mr. Love, is
a native of Gaston county, a son of
the lute R. C. G. Love, and a brother
of Mr. R. A. Litve and Mrs. W. W.
Glenn, of Gastonia. He won . tho
jMaugiim medal for - oratory -while at
