DRAW NEW JURY FOR JULY TERM (News & Observer) Acting- under the statute providing for the drawing of a venire of any term of the Superior Court when ever the county commissioners have failed to do so, a panel of 36 men was drawn yesterday for the July term of the Wake county Superior Court when Solicitor W. F. Evans will present a new bill against Jesse Wyatt, suspended Raleigh police cap tain, for the fatal shooting on Jon* 1 of Stephen S. Holt, prominent Smithfield attorney, whom Wyatt mistook for a rum runner. The new bill will be presented to take the place of the indictment for murder against Wyatt which was quashed by Judge Daniels on Thurs day when the defense raised the technicality that the grand jury which returned the bill was drawn last December by a boy over ten years of age. The new venire drawn yesterday was draw!n by Herman Hamilton, Jr., the seven-year-old son of Mrs. Eva Hamilton. The venire was drawn in the pres ence of Sheriff D- Bryant Harrison, William H. Penny, clerk of the coun ty commissioners, Justice of the Peace E. Lloyd Tilley and Justice of the Peace J. E. Owens. Solicitor W. F. Evans was also present during the drawing but took no part. None of the defense attorneys were pres ent at the drawing which was held in the oflice of the sheriff. In the drawing three names were thrown out. They were those of Stonewall Adams, clerk in the office of the County Auditor, on the grounds that he is a practicing at torney John R. Terrelh of Raleigh, who died some time ago; and the name of a third man from White Oak Township, who has moved away from the county. uiojj UAU?jp oq xn-w Ajnf puejit aqx the venire o.n July 13 when the Ju ly term begins. AMERICA’S FIRE LOSS HALF BILLION A YEAR The National Board of Fire Under writers reports that last year the total fire losses in the United States amounted to $548,000,000, or over $1,600,000 worth of property was de stroyed by fire each day of the year. The record fire loss for the country in 1024 amounted to more than the aggregate value of all building con tracts, totaling over $10,000 each, awarded in the 16 Southern states that year. In other words, the value of all new building in the South last year was but slightly more than the total waste from fire in the entire country during the same period. No other nation in the world is so careless and wasteful in this respect and it is only because of the great wealth of the United States that we are able to sand a financial drain of such magnitude. From year to year our fire losses have continued to in crease despite safety drives and fire prevention weeks, European coun tries have dissipated their wealth through numberless wars, but un less checked the United States will in (he year to come pay almost as great a penalty in decreased wealth through the millions of loss by fires. The fact that fire losses continue to mount is not necessarily an indica tion that they cannot be reduced, states the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in a special fire prevention letter on America's fire losses .which contains the following: “At the present time 385 local or ganizations are enrolled in the Inter Chamber Fire Waste Contest. Tlhe records of the 1924 contest show that losses in the reporting cities were re duced to the extent of $4,000,000 over their average for the preceding five years coincident with the activities undertaken by local fire prrevention committees. The per capita loss in these communities was $3-10, as com pared with the national average of approximately $5. “What has been done in some cities might well be duplicated in others through energetic fire-prevention programs carried on under the aus pices of local chambers of commerce and similar organizations. Although fire waste is a national problem, it can be solved through the combined endeavor of all communities. Each must do its part to bring about diminution of losses. It was only by continuous effort that Indianapolis, Ind., Fresno, Calif-; Findlay, Ohio, and Albany, Ga., were able to make such splendid showings in the 1924 contest. If you do not have a fire prevention committee, you are ..urged tc apjpint one^i order that yWr ci ty may derive’~the benefits that ac crue from successful fire-prevention work.’’—Manufacturer’s Record. n First and Exclusive Pictures of California Earthquake Here are two remarkable pictures, sent by telegraph* of the ruin in Santa Barbara, Calif., caused by the earthquake.
