R~ Transactions.

fendent Mebane's clerk, j. l.. Graham, is
to have a preliminary hearing on the
charge Of arson to-day. hearing was
had before Mayor Shuford, when he
reached there Saturday night, and the
trial was set for IL O'Clock to-day. Pend
ing the hearing Graham was released on
"a bond of $1,000, which was given by a
Democrat and a Populist, and Deputy
Rivers returned to Raleigh.
A large number OF witnesses have been
summoned by both sides. The case was
worked up by detectives William Jones
and John Jackson, of Charlotte. They
claim that the chain of evidence is COM
plete and will prove Graham's guilt.
1t ls learned that Graham twice had a
house burned down containing furniture
belonging to him. In both instances the
furniture was heavily insured and the
house was not. The first house belonged
to Maj. Fingers sister; the second was
the Presbyterian parsonage. In the
first cnse the insurance was paid without

burning it, it is said.

VERY GRAVE.
The Greek situation Apparently Ex-
fremely Critical.


London 3arch 2J.-The Graphic
gives Prominence 70 a statement which
il cia.aas TO have received from an un-
questionable source, to the effect that
the Greek situation is extremely grave.
1t says that with the departure Of Crown
Prince Constantine from Athens to take
command OF me troops IN Thessaly. The
die seems 10 have been east. War would
be inevitable if Greece recalled her
army. 1t would march to Athens and
dethrone the king.
The most serious element of the situ-
alton IS the undoubted fact. despite de-
malls, that the concert Of the powers is
no longer solid. There has not been an
actual rupture, but the members have
come to the conclusion that concerted
action is a failure. II the so-calIcd con
cert continues for week it cannot con-
tinue longer. The statement ascribes
the position TO the Impotence of the
powers with Greece's reckless conduct
and Great Britain's reluctance to co
cree her. The powers will not accept
Lord Salisbury's proposal for the estab-
ishnent Of a neutral zone
Reports from various places in Crete
show that there is not the slightest inn
provement in the condition of affails
in that island. The fighting between
the Moslems and the Christians con
unues and the burning of villages is a
matter Of daily occurrence. There is
no prospect Of any betterment in the
situation. It is apparent that the bonn
bardment OF the Christians by the for
eign warships is merely a waste Of shot
and shell. When the insurgents are
scattered by the fire from the warships
they dispcrsc. only to'reappear shortly
after ia some other place in the vicinity.

New York, Jan. 7.-Moritz Bauer, a
real estate dealer, was arrested to-day
on an Indictment charging him with
swindling people out of real estate to
the amount of 100000. 1t is alleged
that Bauer, as president of the Man
haitian Investment and Construction
company, carried ON an extensive swim
die in disposing of land in Westchester
county and other parts of Greater New
York.
This land was sold in parcels on the
installment plan, and there was large
number of investors. 1t is alleged that
many of the investors paid the install
ments in full, but could not obtain their
deeds to the PROPERTY according to the
terms of the contract. No deeds, 1t is
alleged, were ever given by the COM
pany.
Bauer stated that the present man
agement of the Manhattan company
had paid off all of the mortgages on
the land and was just ready to deliver
the deeds to the investors. just then
the company was threatened with a
judgment, and so it conveyed nearly
all the property to trustee, who was
willing to convey deeds to investors.
On August judgment was obtained
against him, which stopped giving the
deeds.

ARBUCKLE MURDER MYSTERY.
Frederick Bauman, Arrested in Louisville

Frederick Bauman, Arrested in Louisville,
Said He Was Implicated in the Crime.
Louisville, Jan. 7.-Frederick Bau-
man. alias Wilson, confined in Jail here
on the charge of forgery and obtaining
money under false pretences, claims to
have been one of the murderers of
Frank P. Arbuckle, of Denver, in New
York, November 19. Bauman says his
father is a banker in Chicago. Bau-
man said to-day:
my partner in the crime was Dave
Edmonds, an actor, now in North Chi
cago. We met Arbuckle in Sullivan's S
saloon on Third avenue, Harlem. We
saw him fash his roll and when he left
Edmonds and myself followed him to
get his money, as we were stranded.
We followed Arbuckle to Eighth ave-
nue., where he stood waiting for a car.
We pounced on him. Edmonds used a
small slungshot and L cracked him
over the head with the butt of a revol-
yer. We took his money, 1926, a dia-
mond ring and a gold watch. The
watch was pawned in shop on Park
Row"
The police discredit Bauman's story.
