ICV v - National Tax Association."

There may be good reasons for the pres ence of all the members of the com mission and a clerk as well. For it is said the North Carolina tax program " under the revaluation act more near ly complies with the ideal t-xing pro gram laid down by the experts of the association after a number of years' ' study and suggested to the last meet ing than any taxing program that has yet been worked out in any of the American states. A number of other states have worked out revaluation plans, but " North Carolina has been able to pro" -fit by the mistakes made in other states and has voided a number of them:-? If the income tax amendment passes', "a'nd it is generally believed it will, the North. Carolina system of 'raising revenues will in all probabil ity become a model for many other states. - The sudden death yesterday of Victor S.

A bitter political conflict hai developed between Premier Lenine and War Minister Trotzky, of Soviet Russia, according to ' Warsaw dispatches founded on informa tion received from the returned Polish delegation.

Trotzky remains confident of the ability of the Soviet to deal with the threatened coup and wants endorsement of a plan to re form the Russian armies to smh White Poland. Trotzky is willing to admit that the desire to restore a Czarlike govern ment is in evidence among the offi cers, but declares that the mass of the army is solid for the Soviet and can handle the situation. According to John Domski, head of the Polish delegation, the Russians endeavored to hide the political split, but could not quite accomplish their i purpose.

WOULD PRESERVE . TURKISH CUSTOMS Budapest, Sept. 3. "I as a schol ar regret deeply the refusal of the United States to accept lihe mandate over Constantinople because the learned world lost a unique chance to have an American library in Tur key which would have brought out the still hidden treasures of medieval Turkish' literature, the Koran com mentaries and Arabian philosophy," said Professor Ignatius Goldziher, fa mous orientalist who has just cele brated his 70th birthday. The stu dio where Goldziher received the cor respondent of the Associated Press is in itself a complete library of ori ental science. . "Either old Turkey must be re established, or else the nationalists must totally modernize it, which will be a pity," continued Prof. Goldzi her. "The Turks are the most hon est people of the East. When a Turk pledges his word, you can rely upon it, which is hardly the case with their neighbors. But when they come into touch with western civilization they get spoiled. "A Turk generally picks up the style of the Parisian boulevards, but is out of sympathy with the culture of the west. And they must not abandon their national customs. It was one of the tricks used by the Germans to delude the Torkish nation by the false hopes of a mock-civilization dangled before their eyes. The strength and value of the Turkish people is in their racial peculiarities, in their simplicity, honesty, poetcal ability and one of the greatest bless ings of America's control own Tur key would have been the preserva tion of these rational qualities."

"Wade told me," declared Flood, "that the knife he used in stabbing Nott to death, after he had beaten and shot him, was supplied by Mrs. Nott." "I beat ihim and I shot him, but he seemed to get no weaker," Wade said, describing the struggle. "He had me by the throat and was giving me a battle. I finally called to Mrs. Nott to get me a knife.

CLINIC COUNT OPENS UESDAY PRICE: S CENTS KING GEORGE WOULD RELEASE HIM, BUT PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE OBJECTS; APPEALS TO THE POPE. London, Sept. 3. Lord Mayor MacSwiney shows signs of sinking rapidly, his sister stated this morn ing. Members of his family are at his bedside as the think the end is not far off. London, Sept. 3. In a desperate last minute effort to save the life of Terrcnce MacSwiney, Lord Mayor of Cork, his wife, relatives and friends are appealing to Pope Benedict in the name of humanity and civiliza tion to depart from his ordinary po litical aloofness and take active steps to bring pressure on the British gov ernment to abandon its obdurate at titude. The influence of powerful friends of Sinn Fein in Rome is re ported to have been enlisted. Kaninare, County Kerry, Sept. 3. Tho government's course In the MacSwiney case is perfectly logical, but it is rather unfortunate that af ter being illogical with English pris oners for ten years, the government should select an Irishman to begin its logic on, and should excuse itself by the gravity of his crime when he has committed absolutely no crime at all except the crime of being born in Ireland. London, Sept. 3. For the first time in ten years of his reign, Kin;r Georgo is in a conflict with the cabi net over a grave public question, n I has found himself completely u !a to take anjndependent; course i.- ac- tion. He was first notified l y his politi cal secretary, Lord Stamfordham, that if lie advised the release of Lord Mayor MacSwiney of Cork from the Brixton prison, through the exercise of tho royal prerogative, Premier Lloyd Georgo would defer to the royal wish. Accordingly the King forwarded a request for a pardon to the home of fice, but was then Informed that the cabinet was unanimous in deciding that ' mayor must be allowed to die if ' .i continued to refusefood His Majesty was (extremely an noyed at tho official rejection of his exercise of clemency, because he wast personally convinced that the release of tho Lord Mayor was the proper course, He now has taken Che unprecedent ed step of cancelling the customary invitation to the senior members of tho cabinet to stay with him at Bal moral Castle. Tho King's effort to release MacSwiney has resulted lit the arrival of a shoal of letters and telegrams at Balmoral supporting the action and urging His Majesty not to hesitate to provoke the resignation of the cabinet by peremptory action. The uncompromising attitude of Premier Lloyd George ie said to be duo to.Mie Carsonita element in the cabinet which was prepared to wreck the coalition rather than yield to the public clamor for the mayor's release. Sinn Fein lhas never countenanced a petition to the King, taking the po sition that the republicans did not recognize the authority of the British constitutional system. Sinn Fein lead ers sent a letter to the King stating; this as their position. Soon thereafter tho telegraph ' wires leading to Bal moral Castle were cut. They have since been repaired and are guarded by the police. WIDOW MISSED RINGS AFTER MOSQUITO CHASE Passaic, N. J., Sept. 3.
