Morning Session of Kc
eorder's Court
Finding probable cuuhi- for In
dictment on charges of house
breaking and larceny. Trial Jus
tice P. G. Sawyer held George
White, colored, for the term of
Superior Court beginning June 15.
at the close of u hearing in re
corder'a court Tuesday morning.
He fixed White's bond at $1.000.
in default of which the accused
was sent to Jail to await the ac
tion of the grand jury in the high
er court.
White was sentenced to f>0 days
on the roads each on two chnrge.t
of larceny of goods values at less
than $20. and therefore falling
within the Jurisdiction of the low
er court. He appealed from the
Judgments.
In the arrest of White, police
express the hope that they have
succeeded in checking the epidem
ic of petty thievery which has
raged hero for many mouths. the
depredations being confined main
ly to automobile tires and acees
sorles.
White was accused in connec
tion with the seizure by police of
a camera, two automobile tires,
rims and tubs, a Ford generator,
an automobile horn and an elec
tric toaster at his home on Cobb
street early Monday mornins. The
kodak was Identified positively by
Ellis Alexander, colored barber,
as one that had been stolen from
bis home a few days before.
One automobile tire, the gener
ator and horn were Identified par
tially by D. T. Meads, a traveling
salesman, as corresponding with
similar equipment which had beeu
stolen Sunday night from cars be
1 longing to several of his assist
ant*. the cars having been left
parked at the side of the Raleigh
Hotel.
i Lester Winder, living at Road
and Cedar streets, testifying for
the State, declared he saw a negro
of about th?' same size as White
passing his home on the Cedar
street side shortly after midnight
Monday, carrying an automobile
tire on one arm. and Romethlng
clutched close to his body with the
| other arm. He said he coAld not
'positively Identify the passerby as
White.
The defendant did not take the
.stand. His attorney, Walter L.
Cohoon, put on one witness. I^ee
'Clement, colored, who testified
that he had left s Ford generator
at White's home for White to re
pair. Clement undertook to Iden
tify the generator, exhibited In
court as his own. by a "scratch."
which he said he had made on it
in taking It ofT his car. The court
obviously was not Impressed by
the Identification.
Leroy Duncan, charged with
assault on Murdock Olbbs. young
white boy. was fined $5 and costs.
Evidence In the case wa? that
Glhbs had accused Duncan of
stealing, and when upbraided by
the latter, had offered the excuse
that he was only Joking, where
upon Duncan had struck him sev
eral tltnen. Inflicting minor Injur
ies.
Judgment was suspended In the
case of Dennis Roughton. fisher
man accused of having failed to
pay the State license on one or
more anchor gill nets, on the con
dition that the defendant pay the
license fee and the court costs.
Trial of liquor charges against
Abraham Hobbs, colored, accused
In connection with the arrest of
James Rrown. colored. Saturday
afternoon, was continued to Wed
nesday morning. Four pints of li
quor were seized when Rrown was
arrested, and he If said to have
claimed he bought It from Hobbs.
The letter's bond was Incressed
from $100 to $150 Tuesday morn
ing. and an addltlonsl charge of
vagrancy was preferred against
him.

Washington. May 25.-? The Red

which the American people may
express their spirit of cohsecratlou
to peace and to tha rrlendly coop-,
eratlon of all nations, President'
Coolldge asserted today In an ad
dress welcoming the delegates to
the Second I'an - American Hod
Cross Conference.
Speaking In Continental Memor
ial Hall, the President described
the Red Crosa as "Hi the trueai
sense a popular organization."
which "springs from the people,"
and said that In bringing about
such discussions as provided for
at the conference the delegated
were holding before their respec
tive peoples "new Ides Is which can
not but have a wider and wider re
action."
"In recent years." he added,
"there has been much discussion
of international relation. And.
indeed, the need for sttch discus
sion in apparent. The appll<^itlon
of Nclentlflc discovery to commun
ications. to transportation, to in

the world together lo'l degree our'
forefathers could never have an

"Social organization seldom
keeps pace with human activity In

sibility. In the face t>f those In
creasing problems of International
Intercourse. co-operatWh of the
peoples of the world milst rest on
a broad and fundamental basis,
j Mutual understanding, sympathy
? nd tolerance, must grow up
among the peoples themselves and
cannot be Imposed upon them.
"The Ills of humanity are com
mon to all nations a&d afflict u*
all alike. The chief factor* con- ]
dltlonlng human life and happi
ness are still natural rather than
social In their character. Our chief
problem, and the universal dilem
ma of the race Is that of perfecting
our adaptation to our natural en
vironment: of controlling the
blind forces of nature to make
them serve as Instrument* of hu
man happiness; of cfftumvenllng
the operation of nataral cause*
destructive of our health, our vi
tality. or our lives. As mankind
learns to devote Its effofts to these
