GUY EDDIE BRANDS NEWS
STORY AS FALSEH00D
In a Statement City Prosecuting At
torney Denies Herald Has
Violated Tip Law

City Prosecuting Attorney Guy Eddie
has issued a statement which shows
that the attacks made by an evening
paper rarely seen south of First street
and west of Main are but the efforts
of an obscure publication to get into
the public notice. This publication has
wasted a gallon of cheap ink in its
effort to goad busy city Official to
give it a minutes notice.
Mr. Eddie said last night that the
statement that a warrant had been is
sued for any member of the staff of
any daily paper Is a deliberate false
hood.
Mr.. Eddie in his statement says:
"It has been called to my attention
on two occasions recently that the Los
Angeles Evening News has commented
on the attitude of the prosecuting at
torney's office, which Is under my
charge, toward alleged violations of
the anti-race tip ordinance of this city
by the Los Angeles Herald. From the
temper of the articles it is apparent
that the News is attempting to attach
some blame to me in this matter.
am heartily in favor of the disposition
of the public press to criticise the pub
lie officials for ANYTHING on their part
which appears to be misconduct or in
efficiency. An honest criticism is an ex-
cellent stimulant for good public serv-
ice. But, on the other hand, when a
public officer is unjustly criticised the
wrong should be remedied and the Of
ficer indicated.
81 want to say, therefore, in answer
to the News comments, that The Her.
aid has not, to my knowledge, been
guilty of any violation of the ordinance
in question, nor have any of the other
papers of the city, since the validity
of the ordinance was sustained by the
superior court of this county. AS a
matter of fact, every newspaper in the
city, including The Herald, have pur-
sued a policy of publishing racing in
formation much more restricted than
the ordinance itself requires. The
News has, as it says, called to my at
tention several times the alleged vio-
lations by The Herald.
Each time I have told them that
what The Herald was doing they could
do so far as this office was concerned,
in that I could perceive no violation by
The Herald. I want to say, in further
justification of myself, that the said
ordinance has received strict enforce
ment, and the city has been rid, as
most everybody must know (and
dare say the race track patrons know
it fun welD of most of the pernicious
racing publications. There no doubt
have been occasional violations, but
that always happens under the strict
est enforcement of any law, owing to
the fact that it is done so secretly as
to avoid discovery.

prosecuting Attorney"

STRIKE IN FRANCE SERIOUSLY
AFFECTS THE ENTIRE WORLD

LONDON, March 1.-THE democrat
ization of the Paris postal and tele-
graphic services is becoming a serious
matter for the rest of the world.
The French authorities, it is be-
lieved here, are trying to conceal the
extent of the strike, which seems to
be extending gradually to the large
patches from places outside Paris
reached London today with small de-
lay. Paris itself was entirely cut off
Geographically.
About o'clock tonight direct tele-
phone service between London and
Paris was resumed and continued to
work throughout the night.
In spite OF the use of every possible
route between London and the French
capital there has been an enormous
daily accumulation of unsent tele-
grams here.
1t is declared there are 100000 tele-
grams and 100000 letters undelivered
in Paris.

STRIKE ALMOST
ISOLATES PARIS
ALL OF FRANCE LEFT WITHOUT
WIRE SERVICE
cLEMENcEAU REFUSES TO ADJ
JUST DIFFERENCES
Government obdurate with Operators
and Hurls Defiance at the Men
Who Demand Better
Wages

PARIS, March 17-France was vir-
tually ocompletely cut off for time
tonight from Geographic and telephone
communication with the rest OF the
world, and Paris was isolated.
After a few hours, however, tele-
phonic communication between this
city and London and Berlin was re-
stored by volunteers from other
branches of the public service.
Premier Clemenceau refused off1cially
to offer terms to the strikers.l He
told the justices of Paris, who sug-
gested a bill creating superior coun-
Gil which would consider the employees
grievances, that the government would
promise nothing while the employees
remained out.
The premier declared the strike was
senseless, entailing the gravest conse-
quences, not only to business. but to
the country from an international
point of view.
"The employees want to fight ho
said, "and we accept. / am confident
the government will win."
Strike Rapidly Extends
The strike extended rapidly through
out the day, and at o'clock the OPP
orators at the bourse marched out,
severing the last strands, which in
cluded the French Gable company's
New York-Brest connection. Simulta-
neou " the failure of the night tele-
phone operators to appear put the final
means of quick communication out Of
commission.
The situation in the provinces cam
not be considered much better.
The foreign Office. in the midst of the
Balkan crisis, is unable to communi-
cate with its representatives abroad,
and, while the government continues
to insist that it cannot surrender to
it's rebellious servants, 1t Is apparent
that the measures thus far taken to
suppress the strike have been inef-
fective.
1t was intimated tonight that the
government would find way out of
the difficulty by putting M. Barthou,
minister of public works, posts and
telegraphs, in charge of negotiations
with the strikers.
Behind him NJ. Simyan, the under
secretary, could. for the present. eff
face himself. With any one except
Simyan to deal with, 1t is believed the
strikers, the vast majority of whom
realize the seriousness of the offense
they are committing against the pub
lie, would soon come to terms.

Twelve Men Expected to eRturn Ver-
dict Out All Night and Mistrial
Is Feared by Many in
Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March H.
With indications that the jury late to-
night was still far from an agreement,
the opinion began to prevail that
mistrial would be the termination of
the famous case against Col. d. B. and
Robin J. Cooper and John Sharpe,
charged with having murdered former
Senator Carmack.
Judge Hart evidently did not expect
an early verdict, for at o'clock he adj
journed court and started for his coun-
try home, saying he would not return
to receive a verdict until tomorrow.
Judge Hart began his charge to the
jury at $3.50 and finished at 11:15 a. m.
The charge consisted of sixty-two type
written pages, 400 words to the page.
Judge Hart has declared his intention
of holding the jury together for a week
or two, if necessary, to get a verdict.

WHAT KEEPS THE SOUTH POOR.
Victor s. Bryant at dwelling of Men,
ument to Professor Shurley.

Victor s. Bryant at dwelling of Men,
ument to Professor Shurley.
twenty-five years ago Mr.. Shurley
realized (what we all now know that
ignorance and poverty go hand in
hand, and the best investment state
or community can make is to tax it
self to educate the young. Had some
one asked him, "Are we not too poor
to tax ourselves for schools?" he
would have answered.: "You are too
poor not to tax yourselves. A dollar
properly invested in education will
bring a hundredfold in return"
Mr.. Shurley knew and taught that
as long as the Southern laborer earn
ed so cents day, and the New Eng
land laborer So day, so long would
the South remain poor and New Eng
land prosper. That so long as North
Carolina sells the labor of her young
men at ten, fifteen, twenty, or thirty
dollars a month, and imports young
men from Massachusetts to earn one
hundred, five hundred, or one thous-
dIlu per 1uOlLn, 50 lung Will
one state remain near the foot and the
other at the top of the ladder of
wealth. But he also knew and taught
us that the Southern laborer would
earn as much as the New England
laborer whenever he could do the
same work, and his abiding faith in
his own people, made him believe the
( difference not in natural endowment
but a difference in training. This
training was the work of the school
the work of education. Although his
opportunity to teach it was poor, he
knew the hand should be trained with
the head. He taught us self-reliance
diligence and persistence.

$50 MILES IN A CANOE.
Two Young Men Had Fine Trip From
Chapel Hill to Wilmington.

Wilmington, N. c., July 29.-After
travelling an inland water route from
Chapel Hill, N. c., to Wilmington, a
distance of fully $50 miles, in ca
noe, Messrs. Duncan MacRae, of
Chapel Hill, and Elden Bayley, of
Springfield, I'LL, two graduates of the
University, arrived late Tuesday af-
ternoon and report their novel trip a
most successful and enjoyable one
The young men are spending their
vacation in this manner and left
Chapel Hill on the thirteenth of the
month in a canoe of their own and
made their way through creeks and
rivers, which they found all naviga-
BILE for small craft of the type used.
The trip began on New Hope creek in
Orange county, between Durham and
Chapel Hill, and from this they final
ly drifted down into Haw river and
then after a long stretch came into
the Cape Fear.
They made several stops en- route,
the principal one at Fayetteville
where they remained day or so to
obtain provisions. They experienced
fine weather most of the time and the
water route was as interesting as it
was successful. This is the first trip
of the kind on record for the season.
Messrs. MacRae and Bayley are
spending some time here and at
Wrightsville Beach.

CONFERENCE POSTPONED.
Congressman Small Unable to Be i'm
Hyde at Appointed Time.

State Superintendent Joyner stated
yesterday morning that the meeting
of the State Board of Education and
Congl essman John H. Small with the
property owners Of Hyde county to
confer upon the matter of draining
Mattamt.skeet La.:e and other over
flowed lands in tina: district will not
be held next week owing to the i'm
possibility of Mr.. Small's attendance
at that time. It is probable, he stated,
that the conference will be held dur
ing the third week in August, al
though this has not been decided upon
definitely.
The conference will be of the ut
most Importance to those owning
lands in the lake area, as drainage is
the paramount question with those
who desire to make their property
valuable or even profitable. Addi-
tional interest has been taken in the
drainage proposition recently because
of the incessant and heavy rains
which have overfowed the cultivated
lands and destroyed the flourishing
crops.
No papers were signed at the meet
ing of the Board of Education Tues
day, when a proposition for draining
the lake was submitted by Mr.. Johr
Seip, of Cincinnati, O., but his nego
tiations for the purchase of the lake
will continue.

PULL1AM ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
President National Baseball League
Shoots Himself.

New York, July 28.-Harry G. Pull
liam, president of the National League
of Baseball Clubs, attempted suicide
tonight In his rooms on the third floor
of the New York Athletic Club.
Standing in the center of the room
Mr.. Pulliam held revolver to his
right temple He fired only one shot.
The bullet destroyed the right eye and
passed through the upper part of the
left.
1t is not believed that he can re-
cover, although he continued con-
scious for some time after the shoot
ing.
heard, but Mr.. Pulliam in falling to
the floor apparently dislodged the re-
ceiver of the telephone, which was
standing on table nearby so that
help was soon at hand.
p His wound were carefully dressed,
but the physicians had little hope of
saving Mr.. Pulliam's life.
Coroner's physician Sprady, who
arrived about half an hour after the
shooting, assisted DR.. Higgins in at
lending to the wounded mans needs.
Both of them attempted to get some
explanation of the baseball presi-
dents attempt to kill himself but he
was too dazed to give Ineligible an
swers.
The sight of both eyes was de-
stroyed by the bullet, the physicians
said. Although the, course of the bull
let was not traced it appeared evident
that it had entered at least the COW
ering of the brain, and it seemed more
than likely that the injury to the
brain itself was enough to cause
death
Although Mr.. Pulliam's act at this
time was entirely unexpected some of
his friends said that at the time of
his recent illness he suffered from Sc
we're attacks of melancholia.
Since his return to New York in
June he had apparently been in ex-
cellent spirits.
