State in Financial Dilemma.
The second bids for the $3,430,000
refunding forty-year 4 per cent bonds
to take up bonds fali'mg due July 1
were opened by the State Treausrer
at Raleigh Saturday in the presence
of the Governor and members of the
Council of State and a large company
of its interested citizens in the office
of State Treasurer and it was found
that there were bids for only $1,195,
000 of the "issue as compared with
$1,705,000 that were bid for on the
first date for the bond sale May 18
when all "bids were rejected.
This time the bids ranged in batch
es from $1,000 to $200,000, whereas
there Avas one $500,000 bid at the
first effort to soil the issue. The $500,
000 bid was by the New York Life
Insurance Company and was not re
newed. The Council of State was in
executive session all afternoon con
sidering the situation, a number of
the prominent bankers and other bu
siness men being with them in confi
dential conference. Late this even
ing announcement was1 made rthat
the bids opened today are accepted
and that additional bids are on hand
running up the sale to $1,218,850.
The bids in hand today leave $2,
211,500 of the issue to be taken care
of in some extraordinary way. Sev
eral methods of extracting the ad
ministration from the embarrassing
dilemma are being suggested al
though the Governor and Council of
State are not talking. One is the
calling of the General Assembly in
extra session to either increase the
rate of interest above the 4 per cent
provided so as to effect the sale in
the ordinary way, empower the Treas
urer to exchange new bonds for the
old, or authorize some other meaiw
of tiding the State over the difficulty
until there can be permanent adjust
ment at the next regular session in
January. Another is to sell all the
bonds that are not hid for or foi
which bids can be secured before
July 1 to redeem those bonds that
are presented for collection and to
borrow money to take care of the rest
until the regular session of the As
sembly. "This is believed to be the
policy decided' on by the council.
There is a suggestion that the
State could get money , on railroad
bond3 the State owns as security or
effect other financial arrangements
that would save the State the $25,
000 or more expenses of an extra ses
sion of the Legislature.

NORTH CAROLINA EVENTS
Life in the Land of the Long

Legal Battle About Baby.
The May term of Gaston, superior
court began at the court house in
Dallas Monday.
Much interest was shown by the
large crowd in the hearing of a habeas
corpus case which came before Judge
Pell from Mecklenburg county. This
was a proceeding brought by Mrs,
W. R. Whisnant of Charlotte against
her husband. W. R. Whisnant, for the
possession of their infant child, which
it will be remembered, the father got
into his possession in a rather sensa
tional manner on Monday morning
of last week at the Southern pas
senger station in Charlotte by suatch
ing it from the mother's arms, and
making his escape in an automobile.
It was admitted in the proceedings
at Dallas that the child was in the
care of Mr. Whisnant 's mother at
Clover, S. C.
The child, however, was not pro
duced as the writ of habeas corpus
commanded. Instead the father pre
sented a physician's certificate to the
effect that, the child was too ill to
be brought to court without danger
to its life and health. The child is
twenty months old. Mr. Whisnant 's
attorney argued strongly in an effort
to have the return of the writ ac
cepted and final custody of the child
determined at once, but the judge
overruled this motion, continuing the
case to be heard Monday, June 6, in
Charlotte, giving as one reason for
his ruling that the child, being in
South Carolina, was not in the actual
custody of the court. Attorneys on
both sides were also ordered to file
copies of their affidavits with oppos
ing counsel within five days, so that
each might have opportunity of an
swering the allegations of the other.
These affidavits were not made pub
lic, but were read privately by the
judge, who intimated in his ruling
that both contained' extremely serious
charges, which the opposing party
should have an opportunity of an
swering. Durham Visited by Safe Cracker.
An attempt to rob the safe of the

Wednesday night stirred the people
considerably. The safe cracker was

Manager Sligo who yelled at the "fel

equipment of hacksaw, dashing down
to the basement and escaping through
the rear door. He was seen on the
streets afterwards running. His ap
pearance was that of a well-dressed
man. Such a fellow has been seen
on the streets recently and evidently
knew the excess of money in the safe.
He broke the handle off and it is pre
sumed that he meant to drill a hole
through the door. No explosive was
found. There was no money lost.

PRIZE OF $10,000
Won by Curtiss in His Great
Aeroplane
GIVEN BY NEW YORK WORLD
Rode the -Air From Albany to New
York in a World-Breaking Record
Sailed Along Over the Historic
Hudson Not a Single Accident
New York, Special. Givnn II. Cur
tiss flew from Albany to New York
City in an aeroplane Sunday winning
the $10,000 prize offered by The New
York World. IIj covered the distance
of 137 miles in 2 hours and 32 min
utes and came to earth as camly and
as lightly as a pigeon. -His average
speed for the distance 54.06 miles an
hour surpasses any record ever made
by an aeroplane in long distance
flight.
The start was made from Albany
at 7:03 o'clock under weather con
ditions as near perfect as the most
fastidious avktor eotild demand. One
hour and twenty-three minutes later
he had made his stopping place near
Poughkeepsie, where there was an
hour's intermission. Resuming his
flight at 9:26 he sped southward and
landed within the boundary of Man
hattan Island at 10:35.
Paulhan's flight from London to
Manchester 186 miles exceeded the
Curtiss feat in' distance but not, in
speed and danger. The Frenchman's
average was 44.3 miles an hour, and
below J;im lay English meadowland.
Curtiss followed the winding course
of the historic Hudson, with its jut
ting headlands, wooded slopes and
treacherous palisades. He swung high
over the great bridge at Poughkeep
sie, dipped at times within 50 feet of
the river's broad surface and jockey
ed like a falcon at the turns.
Only once did his craft show signs
of rebelling. This was off Storm King
near West Point, where at a height of
nearly 1,000 feet, a treacherous gust
struck his planes. The machine
dropped like a rock for 40 feet and
tilted perilously. But Curtiss, always
cool, kept both hi3 head and his seat
and by adroit manipulation of his
levers brought renewed equilibrium
to his steed.

The Long Hat Pin A Remedy.
Many and loud are the complaints
against the use of the hat pin of ex
treme length. But what are women
to do? The old style hat pin is use
less, the size of the present hat crown
necessitates a long pin to pass
through the crown and the coiffure in
order that the hat may be maintained
in position. There is a remedy, how
ever, which American manufacturers
have not as yet introduced to any ex
tent, and that is the German and
French idea of attaching a metal end,
or knob, to the point of the hat pin
(much the same style as the button
on the end of fencing foils), which
takes away that element of danger to
the long pin, and at the same time i3
an ad.ditional ornament to the hat.
