France Moves To Normalcy
But Future Is Still Obscure
Kesult IJecent Elections Apparently a Stop in Direction of
European Settlement lint Complete Tranquil
ity Has Not Vet Come in Sight
By FRANK H. SIMOND8 i
Washington. May 21.?To under
stand the present confusion In the
French political situation and the ?
uncertainty as to the cliaracter of the
next cabinet and the name of the j
new Premier, it Is necessary to,
glance for a moment at the chaotic:
condition which has resulted from
the recent election. And. above all. I
it Is necessary to appreciate the fact
that under the continental bloc ?ys-|
tern our own party methods are quite
impossible. 1
Thus in the new Chamber of Dep
uties with 58 4 members no one par-!
tv has anything like a majority. The
liloc National, which supported I'oin
i*inml wpiit to defeat, will have
something like 233 members. This,
is the official opposition and it Is a
iairly homogeneous body at the mo
ment. In addition the Royalists or!
Conservatives elected upwards of 20 !
members and these would doubtless
vote with the Bloc National against
any extreme radical government.
Thus, at the outset, It would be fair
to assume that the opposition could
count upon approximately 253 votes,
leaving 331 for the groups which to
gether must make the new govern
ment.
But of these 331 only 190. name
ly the Radicals and the Republican
Socialists with 151 an^ 39 seats re
spectively. could easily coalesce. The
Radicals are led by Herriot, Just
now most frequently spoken ql as
the next Premier while to the other
group belong both Brland and Paln
leve, the former many times Prime
Minister, the latter once and disas
trously during the World War.
In addition there arc the Social
ists, lid by Blum, who count 102
seats but are pledged against taking
office. This Socialist party. In com
bination with the Radicals and the
Republican Socialists, constituted the
Bloc of the Left, which united suc
cessfully to defeat Polneare but
which have absolutely nothing In
common In the way of an affirmative
program. Finally, there arc 29 out
and out Communists, also oppoennts
of I'olncare but similarly opponents
of any other conceivable government.
Now if Herriot, for example,
formed a government, he would cer
tainly be opposed by both the Royal
ists and the Bloc National; that Is.
the whole of the possible opposition.
He could count on 151 votes from his
own Radical party, but he could not
even hope to form a cabinet unless
he were assured the support of the
Socialists, who count 102 members.
But this combination alone would be
approximately of the same strength
as the opposition. In point of fact,
it would be helpless unless support
ed bv the Republican Socialists: that
is. the Brland-Palnlcve Bloc, with J9
votes.
Such a combination would almost
certainly be opposed by the Commun
ists and thus a three party coinb n
ation of Radicals, Socialists and Re
publican Socialists, counting at most
292 members, would face a minority
combine of Royalists. Communists
and the Bloc National of practically
the same strength, namely 292. Her
riot in practice, then, could only
form a cabinet which would have any
chance of lasting as he was able to
draw strength from the Bloc Nation
al And at best his majority would
be precarious In the extreme.
llriand's situation, on the con
trary. is quite different. On the sur
face' he would seem to have only 39
sure votes: but. once Polneare had
disappeared. It Is almost certain that
a very large part of the Bloc
a I would, on terms, agree to support
a Brland Cabinet, seeing In Brland a
much more satisfactory premier.
Moreover, what 1* most lik?'ly to hnp
pen Is that Herriot will form a Cab
inet. perhaps last for a few weeks or
ev? n months, and then give wa> to j
Brsince Polneare Is going into re-,

ALTO ACCIDENT
ENDS IN AKKEST
A Mr. and Mrs. Earl Fry
were released under bond of
$1,000 from Currituck Jail
Tuesday night, according to
telephone reports received in
Klizabeth City, after having
been lodged there on tho
charge of transporting liquor.
The couple were travelling
by automobile through Shaw
boro on their way to Norfolk
Monday afternoon when the
steering gear broke and the
car turned over at Flora's I^ane
about a mile from Shawboro.
According to reports, both
were under the influence of li
quor, and the car was full of
liquor. Their arrest .followed
the accident, and their release
from jail came Tuesday night
when the bond had been ar
ranged. Supposedly they are
residents of Norfolk.
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
SPIED ON COMMITTEE
Washington, May 21.?The Senate
Daugherty committee today was told
that representatives of the Depart
ment of Justice not only had sought
to "frame Senator Wheeler," Its
| prosecutor, but had spied on its
1 members and its witnesses and had
i spirited away the famous diaries of
| Gaston Means, who was working
with it as an Investigator.
One of the witnesses was W. O.
iDuckstein who said he knew about
| the whole proceedings because his
wife is a secret agent of the Depart
ment and it was she who identified
in his presence the records of Means
i after they had been secured by a
ruse.
TICKETS ON SALE
FOR SENIOR PLAY
! Tickets for the Senior play.
"All of a Sudden Peggy," went on
! sale at Selig's Wednesday morning
and indications are that the house
I will be filled Friday evening. All
!seats will be reserved, and it will lie
| wlae to buy tickets and make reser
vations early.
'/All of a Sudden Peggy," it is pre
dicted. will be the best senior play
ever given at Elizabeth City High
; School, which is saying quite a lot.
for this event never falls to draw an
enthusiastic crowd.
i " ? ? -?
er" said:
i "Polncare Is a man who knows ev
erything and can do nothing; Briand
is a man who knows nothing and can
do everything."
Briand's political manoeuver now
Is obviously to win over to himself
,the larger part of the strength of
the disintegrating Bloc National. He
, would be far more moderate In tem
per than Polncare but on the whole
much more conservative lhan Her-'
riot. In this way lie might create a
new bloc, that Is a middle or mod-i
erate group, corresponding to Lloyd
George's old dreain of a center party
In Britain. Meantime, since he in an
admirable waiter, he may very well
let Herrlot have his fling, which
must be brief.
Whether Herrlot or Driand conies.
French foreign policy will now be
more conciliatory In tone, although
it may be doubted If there will be
,any sweeping modification of French
demands. A combination Herrlot-1
Briand Ministry is even conceivable,
with Driand In charge of foreign af
fairs. But, In any event, what Ir*
icertain Is that the next Kreneh Cab
inet will proceed to a discussion of
the Dawes report and seek a restor
ation of the Anglo-French entente.
!Should Herrlot come, ft Is also very
? likely that some conciliatory ges
tures will b'* made in the direction
? of Germany.
Herrlot's radical party Is the party
I of Caiilaux. who always favored
i Franco-German co-operation and
I looked with something like hostility
I at Great Britain. Briand. on the
contrary, followed the Clemenceau
|view of Anglo-French co-operation,
while Polncare partly by reason of
|the course of events, partly because
lof personal views, aimed to give
i France an Independent role, while
jdrawing to her the minor states in
lUie center of Europe which shared
(French dangers on the German side.
Accepting the fact, which has been
'generally noted, that the French
1 election represents a gain for the
cause of European settlement. It
must atltl be recognized that the
character of party inea in the new
[Chamber makea for much obscurity
and not a little Insecurity. Once
(more, as at Cannes when Briand fell
I a change of government Is possible
at almost any moment. Thli la un
mistakably a French return to nor
malcy, but hardly to the British
counterpart, which Is tranquility.
Worthless Check Is
Poor Pay For Watch
But It's What Preposessing
Youth Left In Trail Through
Elizabeth City
H. C. HrltJit. local jeweler, has oil
liis hands a worthless check for $40
land somewhere in the l\ S. A. a
! neatly dressed young man in nil
.probability is wearing a $40 watch
which lie obtained for the aforesaid
check. Mr. llrlght would give more
than $40 to know the young man's
whereabouts.
Something line two weeks ago a
'slim stranger not. apparently, more
|than 25 years of age or exceeding1
1:15 pounds in weight stopped in Mr.
iDriuht's store and wanted to buy a
j watch. He represented himself to
I be W. Norman House of the Weldon I
Motor Company of Weldon. and pre-)
sented a business card of that firm
i with the name that he was claiming
printed in the lower left hand cor
ner. The younc man was of good
address, Inquired as to the residence
of a former Trinity student
whom lie claimed to have known at
college, exhibited his Ford coupe
parked across the street from Mr.
|Hrlght*8 store, asked questions
about how to get to Plymouth, and
[altogether made such a good impres
[slon that Mr. llrlght accepted his
check signed "W. Norman House,
i Weldon Motor Company," In pay
ment for the watch and thanked liim
in the bargain, the favorable imprec
ision "Mr. House" had made in the
first place not being at all detracted
from by discovery of the fact that
the Weldon Motor Company had an
excellent financial rating.
A few days later, however. Mr.
Tlright got a Jolt when his bank In
formed him that the check, which
had bei n duly deposited, had been
returned unpaid. Accordingly Mr.
Rrfcht made haste to write to W.
Norman House, Weldon Motor Com
pany. Weldon, North Carolina, to
ask an explanation and that the
check be made nood. By return mall
he had a letter from Mr. House stat
ing.that he had never given Mr.
Hrlght a check and had only been In
Elizabeth City but once in his life
and that about three years ago. Fur
thermore, Mr. House went on to say,
ihe signs his name W. N. House, and
I not W. Norman, as it appears on the
j check. The card, however, was gen
lulne. printed for him by the firm by
which he Is employed with the mld
fdle name spelled out because his
friends call him Norman.
1 Mr. House says he. has no Idea
who it was that forged his name here
nor how he came into possession of
the business card which he used so
adroitly. He kindly offers, however,
to co-operate with Mr. Bright In anv
way possible to bring the offender to
justice.
Wh*n In Elizabeth City the ficti
cious Mr. House wore a dark blue or
black serge coat and n soft bat. He
had dark hair and brown eyes.

SAYS LIQUOR LAW
IS NOT ENFORCED
llohhg Thinks Sheriff Should
Try Enforce All Law Alike
uiid Not Let One Law he
i Dead Letter.
At least one candidate for Blierlff
i Is making the race on an unequivo
cal platform of better enforcement of
I |the law prohibiting the manufacture.'
; Hale and possession of Intoxicating
; liquor.
' That candidate is J. Walton Hobbs
| of Salem Township, who makes no
bom s of saying that he believes that
'the sheriff of Pusquotank County
! could if he would do a great deal to
dry up some very moist spots in the
.County.
Mr. llobbs wants It understood,
however, that the prohibition law en
i force men t is not the only plank in
lliis platform. "I favor law enforce
! ment," he says, "as a general propo
sition and, as to the prohibition law,
11 believe it should be jell forced exact
lly and precisely as any other law.
i *4In other words, I think all laws
(ought to be enforced alike. We see
lour people haled into court, some for
violation of the cattle-dipping law,
|some for violation of city parking
jordinances, and some for operating
automobiles with defective lights, or
I for other minor offenses, while vio
lations of the prohibition law go on
I with no visible effort on the part of
j officials to bring the offenders to Jus
i tic<?.
"You people in town may not
j know it," said Mr. Hobbs, "but vio
lations of the liquor law are doing a
| great deal more harm in rural Pas
I quota nk than they are in Elizabeth!
jClty, because people in the country
I know more nhout what their neigh-,
? bora are doing, and the sale of liquor
is a matter of such common occur
rence in some of our rural commun
ities that even little children are
'quite aware of what is going on.
.Why 1 know to my own knowledge
that purchasers are buying liquor!
i that is being placed In their hands.
In some instances, by any member of
the family of the seller who happens
| to be present when the sale Is made.
I In such an atmosphere, how can
j these children he expected to grow,
up with anything except contempt
for the prohibition law and so for all ,
law?
"I have made up my mind that If
I am elected sheriff I will do all In
I my power to sjie that such practices
as this are broken up. I do not be
lieve that it would take a great deal
of time or ? ffort to make Pasquotank 1
County clean. 1 believe that, the only
thing necessary is a real desire to \
put a stop to the traffic and the de
termination to stamp it out. As soon
as the booth":trers realize that they,
have in office a sheriff with that de
sire and with that determination. If
ho Is given nnv sort of co-operation .
st all, 1 am fullv convinced that they,
will quit the business or move Into;
some other county. So far as I an ?
concerned, for my own sake and for
the sake of the adult cltlxenship cf
the County I would not think this;
tight worth while making, but when j
1 think of the Influence under which ,
the children of our dav are growing
up and enp dally the children of the
rural districts I am thoroughly per
suaded that the matter i? one which
deserves the hearty support of all
our people who believe In law en
forcement. If all who profess po to
believe will give me their support 1
nm confident that I will he the next
sheriff of Pasquotank County.
"I have personally never been a
strict prohibitionist, and as long ns
It was possible to obtain liquor law
fully did not see any objection to a
young man's taking a drink occasion-' |
ally If he could do so In moderation.;
But since seeing for mvself the cor
rupting results among the young peo-1
pie of the traffic as It Is carried on
now, I am thoroughly convinced that
It should he put a stop to, and for
the sake of the boys and girls grow-1
Ing up In the County I am willing to
undertake, if elected sheriff, to use
all the power* of the office to that
end."
Men who know Mr. Hobbs have
been heard to say that he Is one who
can be depended upon to keep a
pledge and who has the courage and
determination when he undertakes
anything to see It through to the fin
ish.

favor nf anm-vlnc Hyde and Tyrrell
in Elza belli City's trade territory by
melius of a road from Falrflfld to
Columbia and fi rry service from
Tvrrell Comity to Pasquotank, why
permit your people In overlook the
possibilities of establishing closer re
lations with Pare County?
This is a quest Ion asked a repre
sentative of this newspaper by L,. W.
Hooper of Stumpy l'oint, who was In
the city this Week. Ills Idea is to
build a road from Stumpy Point to
Manns Harbor, with a spur leading
oft from It to East l.ake. Manns
Harbor is but 1? or .12 miles from
Point Harbor In Currituck, and ferry
service would seem easily practicable
between these points, especially as It
might bo easily possible to arrange a
schedule that would also serve Man
teo and Nacs Head.
The State has now built a Rood
dirt road to the Point In Currituck
County and many people believe that
a resort on Currituck Hench near the
Point would Me In popularity with
Nacs Head and would In Itself Justi
fy the establishment of a bus line
from here to the beach. With his
famllv at Nucs Head, the Elizabeth
City business man must leave hero
HI "l:30 o'clock In the afternoon to
arrive at Nans Head In lime for sup
per In order to cot back to Eliza
beth City the next day lie must leave
Nacs Head at about fi o'clock In the
morninc and does not cot In until to
ward 11 o'clock, thus loslnc practi
cally half a business day each way
i n route. To spend Sunday at Nags
Head he must leave Elizabeth City
at R o'clock Sunday morning, arrlr
Inc onlv In time for dinner, and must
leave lii the late afternoon which la
the best part of the day on the
beach. In other words, to spend a
whole day at the beach he must
inpend a whole day on tbfi boat,
counting a day In terms of work
bourn.
1 With a resort at Currituck neach,
: t he KlIzabet li City business man
i con ill leave here any afternoon or
'evenlnc after the close of business,
I motor to the beach in about two
! hours, and return the next morning.
U)ii Saturday evening after the close
?of business lie could motor to the
1 beach and spend nil day Sunday, re
turning Monday morning and reach
inc town at the beclnnlng of the
business day.
Now If a ferry service could be es
tablished between Point Harbor in
Currituck and Nacs Head, this ser
vice would make it possible to lop
err a full hour each way from the
time now required to reach Nags
Head, and, IT tills ferry could be op
erated on a sl\ or seven round trips
a day schedule, by adding an hour to
the time required to co lo the beach
the Elizabeth City business man
could co lo Nacs Head.
Mr. Hooper's suggestion would, lr
carried out, enable a bus line from
Elizabeth City to Point Hnrbor in
Currllnck to serve still an even larg
er number of people. Something like
1 2(Ml people live on the Dare Coun
ty mainland In the communities of
Stuinpy Point. Manns Harbor and
East Ijike. to say nothing of those
who live ulonc the banks and could
come in thill' own boats to the ter
minal of the bus line at the beach
for a trip to Elizabeth City.
Inhabitants of Dare County prob- <
ably send more money lo mall order
houses per capita than those of any ;
other county In the Stale. If these
llnre Conntv people could cet to
Elizabeth City In something like
three hours a ml return the same day,
a lan e proportion of the' money that
ll.ej si nd I" in. il order houses no?f>
would be rpont In Elizabeth CWy.
That Dare County folk have money
to spend, especially at the cml of tho
Ihnd flshlnc season. Is Indicated by
a report tlint an Insurance acent
placed *"(1.000 In llf? Insurance In
til, ! homes of Stumpy Point on
one trip recently. )
Tnlk of establishment of a bus
line from Elizabeth City lo Point
Harbor has revived Interest- In the ?
proposal Ill-Hated some years ago for
op. utnc up a direct road from Elis
abeth Cily to Colnjock which would
eliminate the Currituck Courthouse
elbow and shorten the distance to
Colnjock about 12 miles.
