TWENTY-FIVE ****" ) i Britain Wants America To Back League Action Ambassador Bingham Calls on Sir Samuel Hoare To Acquaint Him With American Attitude Toward Italo Ethiopian Crisis London, Oct. 8.?A new British drive to obtain United States support for penalties to be imposed by the League of Nations against Italy was seen here tonight. Following a visit by United States Ambassador Robert W. Bingham to the foreign office, reports were cir culated that Britain hopes President Franklin D. Roosevelt will go farther in curtailing United States economic relations with Italy, and that, eventually, the United States of its own accord will enforce some what the same penalties against Italy as those imposed by League powers. Calls On Hoare. Bingham called on, Sir Sappuel Ho ire, Foregin Secretary, late to day and remained for half an hour. Leaving the foreign office, the Am bassador insisted that his visit was upon his own initiative. He said he acquainted the foreign secretary with the American viewpoint with regard to the Italo-Ethiopian con flict and the domestic background which caused the President to take the actions that he has to date, in cluding his warning to Americans that they trade with Italy, or ride on Italian ships only at their own risk. Friends of the ambassador said he felt that, inasmuch as the United States is not a member of the League and that any action it takes will be isolated and not in cooperation with the League, it would be a useful courtesy to explain in detail what President Roosevelt is doing. See Significance. Diplomats, however, were quick to interpret the visit as a move to obtain the equivalent of United States cooperation with Geneva. They pointed out that no League sanctions against Italy could be ful ly effective if the United States does not support them. They believed that Sir Samuel suggested to the ambassador that President Roose velt should go farther than his latest move and attempt to estab lish a situation wliich would make impossible the sale of American goods to Italy or the sale of Italian goods in the United States. A mere warning that American national trade with Italy at their own risk is not sufficient, they said. It was assumed that Bingham would cable the State Department tonight regarding his visit and any feelings Sir Samuel may have put forward. No rew action was anti cipated by the United States, how ever, until the ? League has moved farther and decides exactly what measures it is to take against Italy. Once a concrete League program is established, the next move would Be try to induce President Roosevelt to make his measures coincide with those of Geneva. ?aims Manhandling By Kangaroo Court Pitt County Board Takes Ap peal on Ruling in Negro's $5,000 Suit Greenville, Oct. 9.?North Caro I lina's Supreme Court has a novel I ease on its hands from the fifth judicial district in which I^hman I Moye, Pitt County Negro, sued &.

Eure, Greenville pastor, organizing the churchj "uncle Betts, as he was iilttill&F ly known, preached in the old Aca demy, which 'is now the Horton Apartments, and in a little one room free school house on the present site of the Farmville high school, ser vices being held later in the other school building, situated at that time near the old East Carolina depot. The first church, a frame building, was erected in 1903, on what is now the J. I. Morgan property on Church street, and with a very promising be ginning, waxed bold and strong with advancing years. Rev. T. H. Bain was the first resident pastor, being succeeded by Rev. L. E. Sawyer. The following pastors have served the pastorate faithfully and well since; Revs. W. F. Galloway, W. A. Forbes, H. E. Tripp, H. E. lance, S. T. Moyle, J. L. Rumley, C. T. Thrift, B. B. Slaughter, J W. HarreH, D. D., H. E. Hendricks and J. C. Woo ten. On February 22, 1928 the congre gation held a meeting with J. I. Mor gan presiding, at which time plans were laid for building the present church, and the following committee was appointed to meet with the board of stewards to father these; $ Mrs. R. A. Fields, Mrs. J. W. Parker, Mrs. L. P. Thomas and S. T. Lewis. This committee and the stewards at a later meeting decided to have plans drawn for a church to cost about 850,000. Master Luther Thomas, Jr., paid in the first dollar towards this The dirt was broken for the foun dation of the building a year and two friuirch on October 4* 1925 fcv Rav 3 /IATIPA np?M - A vMnfttFT PITVPT Warren Approves I !

J Earlier Mr. Warren had conferred I by telephone with a growers com-1 mittee now in Washington.

The young woman, a magazine! subscription solicitor, working the J tobacco market, who gave her home as Durham, was injured when she took a ride with Crawford, an em ploye of one of the local warehouses. The young woman received a frac tared skull and a broken shoulder 1 with other injuries.

Mod Case Geoters Spotlight i On Mae West I Detective Nab Janios After He Said He Saw Him Take die Package of Bills from Tree ,i * - Los Angeles, Oct. 8.?G-men made a vain effort today to inquire into the latest real-life drama starring Mae West, nonchalant despite the assertedly harrowing experiences of receiving dire threats from extor tionists and helping capture a sus pect. j 1 The wise-cracking blonde actress wasn't "in" when Joseph E. P.i Dunn, chief of the Federal Bureau J of Investigation here, called at her glittering apartment at 2 a. im, to day. She left word she'd see him later. At Studio. She didn't mean she would call on Dunn. He was advised to come up and see her?at the studio. She strolled upon the "set" apparently wholly unoffeeted. Meanwhile,\ neither Dunn nor two other principals in the case were quite so serene. They were George Janios, 38, a studio restaurant work er. taken in custody at a designated "pay-off place last night, and Blayney Matthews, chief investi gator of the district attorney's of fice. JanioB was in the Santa Moncia jail, being questioned Matthews said the man, after rigid tests, had convinced police he was unable to read or write English. Dunn was mystified over the fact that his G-men had not been noti fied of the month-old case, inasmuch as the mails had been used to bring the five threatening notes to Miss West A' A tense half-hour on a Holly wood side street last night, during which detectives armed with sub machine guns and shotguns sur rounded a palm tree, designated in a fifth note to Miss West as the plaoe to put |1,000, brought Janios into custody. .Detective Tom Cavett collared him after he said he saw Janios take the package of bills, placed in the tree by Miss West's chauffeur.

Only $8,650,000Allotted For State WPA Program Tentative Quotas Givei North Carolina Less j Than One Per Cent of j Total; Coan Expresses < Disbelief Wasington, Oct 8.?North Caro lina's share of work relief funds continues to get smaller and smaller. The disappointingly small allot cation of PWA fends made to the State ten days ago was followed today by announcement of an even smaller proportion of WPA funds. Fhe State's shrinking relief load is one factor and tardiness of proj ect* seems to be another. Announcement was made today that project quotas for all states and the district of Columbia have been fixed at a total of *1440,000, 000 and that of this amount North Carolina's share is only *8,650,009. The quotas are tentative but rep resent present goals, as based on existing relief loads. This sum is only .76 per ceent of the total as against the State's population of 2.5 per cent -of the total of the country and a relief load which is 1.75 per cent of the country's total. - In other words, Jjlp State is receiving less thin one third of what it would be entitled to on the basis of population and less than one half of what it would be entitled to on the basis of its re**10"* IB ? i-'' State Ranks lewfei/|ffj Stated another way, the State rajjka l^ Jn^e^ation in popo ! nouncement from Washington that North Carolina's tentative WPA quota had been set at only $8,650, 000. I Governor Ehringhaus termed the news ''distressing." The attitude of State WPA Administrator George W. Coan, Jr., was one of disbelief. ' "I think this is Just an initial, tentative quota," declared Adminis trator Coan, though Washington sources indicated that the quotas announced yesterday represented the last/of WPA allotments, sub ject to change only by the shifing of relief loans. "Distressing News." " It s past my understanding," as serted the Governor. "If they are final appropriations, it will be dis tressing news to North Carolina for they are far below what we were led to believe we would receive and what we believe we are entitled to receive,'1 When Governor Ehringhaus, Sen ator j. W. Bailey and Congressman R. L. Doughton recently ^conferred with works program authorities in Washington, they were assured that North Carolina would receive its proportionate share of funds for un employment relief. Quotas announced yesterday for the WPA indicate that the State may receive far less than its per centage. Approximately $40,000,000 had been expected for WPA and PWA alone. Last week, an allot ment of approximiately $4,000,000 was announced for PWA. vi|-/.'?/?:? The allotment of $8,650,000 an nounced yesterday for the State WPA "just couldn't be for a 12 months program," declared Admin-1 iatrator Coan.

Washington, Oct 8.?League of nations steps toward economic sanc tions against Italy yesterday found the United States padding out a neu trality bulwark which Secretary Hull emphasized had been put together without the aid or advice of any other nation^ The secretary, declining to talk about league steps, said the freshly posted warnings of American neu trality, were drawn up without con sultation with either Great Britain or other members of the league of na tions* . - ' Hull made the statement in re sponse to questions at his press con ference while the coast guard and customs officials were being order ed to halt the shipment of arms and munitions to either Italy or Ethiopia. At nightfall officials here had re ceived no report that any action had been found necessary today to halt such exports. " * * ' ? ? J ! Coupled witft tne presiaenutu i proclamation which banned the ship ment of arms to the warring coun-l tries, waa Mr. Rosevelt's warning to Americana that they would trade with either of the countries, or travel on their ships, at the risk of the individual citizen. ? The orders that went to the coast I guard and customs guardians of the borders and ports today simply in-J formed them that President Roose velt had proclaimed the ban against arms shipments and that they I should "be governed accordingly." . Jamas IL-Moyle, commissioner ofl customs, sent telegrams to his men in 11 port cities. Admiral H. G. Hamlet, commandant of the coast guard, ordered all of his officers and I units to co-operate with the customs officials. ' * His order automatically brought! 36 cruising cutters and scores of patrol boats into service with fresh-1 ly-oiled guns to take "any necessaryl steps" to enforce the law. Any for bidden shipments that might elude customs officials would be subject! to seizure. I Moyle, in his telegram to customs! officials, said the presidential pro clamation banned shipment to Italy! and Ethiopia of a list of articles that previously had been described, and! added: "In addition shipments tol French Somaliland or Djibouti shall! be held pending instructions." In addition to the war ban laid down on shipments to Italy or EtK-l opia, plans were being made for be ginning on November 29 the federal supervision of arms sales to any countries. The same law that im-l posed upon President the duty of! forbidding shipments to warring na-l tions called for a federal licensing! system of selling and manufacturing I munitions. Under it, all manufacturers, ex-l porters or importers of arms must! obtain a license from the federal gov-1 ernment and separate permission for! each individual shipment. The warning by the President tol Americana,: against riding on either 1 Italian or Ethiopian ships was com-j mended today by Speaker Byrns. He I said it followed the "spirit of the! neutrality act" The speaker said he was not fearful that the United! States would be drawn into the war.l Neither Hull nor other state de-| partment officials would discuss the! questions involved in the possible I imposition of economic and financial I sanctions by the league of nations! upon Italy. T^e general feeling here I was that this would not affect in any way the neutral policy already laid down by the United States.
