rlieve Evolution Unlikely To Get Far In Legislature Despite Committee Meeting In Charlotte ir if t. p p i. i (Baskqrville in Nows.) Raleigh—Reluctant as they nv? to admit It,' the question of evolu tion is very likely to again be in jected into the proceedings of the Legislature, the politically wise here are -beginning to agree, al though the question will not get very for or remain very long. But the action of the so-called Com mittee of One Hundred in Char lotte Thursday to retain a ‘Cap able Christian lawyer” to examine the legal aspects of any legislation looking to forbidding the teaching of the theoTy of evolution in any state educational institutions, has at least caused roan who have here tofore continued to ignore the evolution \pisue to sit up and take notice. Significance is attached to the fact that Dr. A. R. Shaw, of Char lotte, the temporary chairman of the committee has been succeeded by Z. V. Turllngum, of Moores vllle, and a member of the Legisla ture from Iredell county as per manent chairman. This move is gencrnlly interpreted as removing the North Carolina Bible league outside the classification of a re ligious or moral organization, and branding ii; definitely as a political (institution whose chief business will be lobbying in favor of anti evolution legislation. This inter pretation is given even furthev weight through the selection of Miss Julia Alexander, of Char lotte, and former member of the Legislature from Mecklenburg county, ns secretary of the lea gue. p However, in support or tne con tention that there will be no great stampede oither in the Senate or | the house to anti-evolutionists banner, it is pointed oiu that aside from C. M. Pool, member of the House from McDowell county and author of the evolution bill presented in the last Legislature, p Turlington is not likely to have t any great! support, although-, L. F. | Klutz, newly elected Republican s ‘ member of the House from Cataw fe ba county, is reported to hnve fir leanings in the fundamentalist di | reetion. Hence it is the general opinion here that although every effort I will be made by the anti-evolution ists to inject the legislature, there s is little likelihood of its getting l' very far, unless a large number of |! the members experience n decided change of. heart between now and I January 5. Many Car# Stolen During November ' -- * Tefal of 179 Are Reported During Month; Only 77 Recovered g Raleigh.—The grentest outburst | of automobile thievery in North Carolina since last December was yenorted for November by Leland I Harris, head of the,.* automobile I', theft bureau of the state depart ||; ment of revenue. A total of 179 cars were stolen during the month t.! and only 77 were recovered. The f hefts were more numerous in the western part of the state, Mr. Harris declared, and. attri buted it to the easy sale for stolen cars across the lipe in Tennessee where there is no title registration law. The increase was characterized as seasonal, thefts always showing an increase when tourist season is at its height. Last December more than one hundred cars were stolen in the city of Asheville alone.

Chaplin’s Wife To Seek Divorce Next Attorney Says Settlement Efforts Have Failed: Religious Intentions I,os Angeles, Dee. 12.—I it a Grey Chaplin, estranged .young wife of Charles Chaplin, film come dian, will file suit for divorce and custody of their two babies im mediately, it won announced here in a statement issued in her behalf by her attorney. Mrs. Cfjaplin said this action is the result of failure to negotiate a settlement out of court. “Negotiations pending have fail ed to result in any reasonable or adequate proposal of Mr. Chaplin’s part for support, maintenance and education,” the statement road. “He has refused to relieve their present inconvenience and necessity He has even made it a condition of settlement that she give up her youngest baby. This she will posi tively not consent to under any circumstances. ‘“If negotiations had resulted in ; a fair or adequate proposal on | his part, Mrs. Chaplin still would I not consent to part with her babies, ! it remains to be seen whether or i not his .apparent concern about ! the-dustody of one of the babies Seas merely for effect.” The Times says Lita Grcy»Chap j lin, has announced her intention of j returning to the Roman Catholic church, which faith she says, she renounced when she married the film comedian. She would have her two children baptized by the Cath olics so that, “they might enjoy the consolation” she says she “threwT away.” Mrs. ( haplin explained that her separation from the Catholic church occurred at the time of her marriage to Chaplin two years ago. The marriage could not be recognized by the church because Chaplin had been divorced. His first wife was Mildred Harris, film actress. Cotton Picking Party. (Special to The Star.) Mr. W. D.

While in Charlotte the Salvation army kindly took care of them for the night. The next morning they walked all the way to Gastonia with the exception of a two-mile lift. While inquiring for the Salvation army in Gastonia, the boys came under the attention of a policeman who inamedaitely took the boys in and gave them lodging for the night. But the kind policeman did not stop at this, he took a car and carried the boys to IVlorganton. There they visited their father for one hour, and then the officer brought the boys back to Gastonia, and took care of them at night and the next morning gave them fare to Monroe. These brave little fellows expect ed to walk all the way if they had not received help. The father has been in the hospital at Morganton 22 months. The mother spent two months daring the summer in the state sanitorium. She is now at home. During the crop season these three little fellows kept the home and farm while relatives kept two smaller children. Horace Kennedy Attorney-At-Law Shelby, N, C.
