THE STATE VS.. HAsIBA sAIIIoN
Witnesses From the Desert With q
MonsTci Tongue 20 Speak Through
Interpreter.

When the case of State VS.. Hasiba
Sahlon is called for preliminary hear
ing In the mayors court next Monday
there VIII have to be an interpreter
resent, or else justice will have to be
administered according to some mod
ern adaptation of Solmonic proceed
ure.
For it is quite certain that neither
mayor nor counsel understand the
Syrian of the desert, diluted with the
Hebrew of the hills, a spice of low
Dutch, some smooth, lisping Italian,
some gutteral bOWery slang and some
screaming Gaelic
And that is as near as the English
ear can come to understand the vi
vaciouS comments of defendant pros
ecutriX and the score of brown,
squirming, hed-plaided, gesticulating
little people whose tempest in q tea
pot is like fluttering mimic battle of
the stage chorus-because one can't
understand. Yet the charge that is
brought is the serious one that strikes
Il spark from the metal of almost any
race-the imputation against the chas-
tity of woman.
1t seems, from the warrant, that
HaSiba Sahion spoke to the daughter Of
Mary Thompson-who is Syrian in all
but her adopted handsome brutal
English words that included the
mother in the charge.
In the desert that would have meant
a shadow through the night, the slash
Of blade and Il blood-feud; in Amer
lea, strange, brutal cOld-bloOdcd
America, even Syria must take its
troubles to the courts.
So Haaiba Sahion is to be tried-with
an Interpreter, who will speak, ac-
cording TO the habit of Interpreters, as
he, the interpreter, sees fit. Where
upon the law will undertake to pass
on Woman'S honor and a mans lib
erty. That it means to be Syrian in
Wake county.
What would a country jury make of
English" as it is spoken by people
with names such as these witnesses in
the case? FarasS Barahat, Abdala
Barahat, George Poules, Mausour
Tody, Gear Tody, Sam Famous.
Yet it will be "up-to-them" if the
case gets by the mayor. Justice Bar
bee, from whom it was removed yes
terday, is doubtless properly grateful.

NO, SAYS GORMAN
Little Doubt That Taggart
Will be National
Chairman.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, July pa very de-
tcrmined effort was made tonight to
make Senator German chairman OF
the Democratic National Committee.
After several conferences among the
Democratic leaders former Senator
Jones and William +. Sheehan called
ION Senator German at his room ana
urged him to reconsider his deter
mination not to accept the chairman
ship. The Maryland Senator re-
manned firm and suggested that Mr..
Sheehan take the place if it was
necessary to have an eastern man
for the position. Mr.. Sheehan stated
to Mr.. German and others to whom
the suggestion was communicated
that it was impossible for him to
take the place.
The impression prevails among
the strongest supporters of Mr.. Tag
CART that Notwithstanding the efforts
made tonight he will be elected.

The United States marshaFs office

by Deputy Surles that he had cap

one of the largest moonshine stills he

The size of the still was probably

THE PASTOR WHO FLED,
The Church Considers the Question
of What to DO With Him.

Rev. w. e. Walker. charged with
the betrayal of fifteen year old
member of hi church has not yet
shown up in Raleigh since his hurried
departure by private conveyance. He
is expected here for trial today.
On Sunday Presiding Elder Holt
preached at st. Paul's African Meth
odist Episcopal church and will con-
tinue TO do so until Pastor Walker is
either cleared of the charge or a new
pastor is named. There was nothing
said officially at the church on Sun
day but the members talked privately
and the general expression is one of
Indignation at the pastors conduct
if the charge be true. Last night a
meeting of the officers of the church
was held to consider the matter.

Turf Farm and Home: An exchange
has paragraph to the effect that the G.
A. r. Post at Bangor is considering the
matter Of doing away with the regula-
tion parade on Memorial Day in the fu
ture. No information is given as to the
reason for this new movement. We
really hope that this step will not be
seriously considered, for Memorial Day
without a parade would be like the
Fourth of July without fire crackers.
Now what, 10 our Judgment, ought to be
done Is for the citizens and the civic
organic tions to get up a parade and
act as escort 10 the old veterans, who
should not be asked nor expected to
march but should be furnished carriages.
