STATE NOT BANKRUPTED
: BY PROHIBITION LAW
North Carolina Governor Says
No Word of Truth in
Such Report

RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. 2.-"There is
not word of truth in the charge that
the cities and towns of North Carolina
are being bankrupted by the loss OF
revenue from the liquor traffic through
state prohibition" declared Governor
Ritchin in a letter to a California state
Official, in which 1t was stated that
charges detrimental to prohibition in
North Carolina were being circulated in
California by liquor interests to retard
the growth of prohibition sentiment IN
that state
"On the contrary, cur towns, like
Gastonia, Durham, High Point, Green's
boro and Charlotte, which had local
prohibition before the adoption of our
state prohibition law" wrote the gov
ernor, '"are among the most prosperous,
If not the most prosperous towns in
the state. Some few communities may
be compelled to collect more money
from other sources, but the tax rate
the state over has not been increased.
Prohibition has met the expectation OF
it's friends. 1t has been as successful
as such q law has ever been in any
tate. 1t has not entirely relieved the
state of whisky and drunkenness-nO
state law can do this, probably no law
of any kind can do it, certainly not III
this generation. But our state prohi-
bltion is making gooo"

SWOPE ISLANDER SUIT
DISMISSED BY ATTORNEY

KANsA SCITY, Feb. "A legal clash
developed in the sensational Swope case
today. 1t came when Frank p. Walsh,
attorney for DR.. d. b. Hyde, dismissed
the Islander suit brought recently by the

ecutor of the Swope estate, for 100000

which was for 100000 damages against
Mr.. Paxton and Drs. Stewart and Hall.
The suits were on account of HYDE

SECRETARIES WANT MORE
PAY OF CONGRESSMEN
ny RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Unless the
members Of the house accede to the
demand of their secretaries for more
pay and official recognition, scandal
that will involve many of them in it's
meshes is bound to result, according
to Colonel Livingston. who is now en-
deavoring to have the house appropria-
ton committee take care" of the sec
retaries in the legislative bill being
prepared. Livingston wants to place
all of the congressional secretaries on
the government rolls, which would re-
suit in an extra months pay for each
clerk every year. He believes this
would satisfy the clerks.
Congressmens secretaries are sup
posed to receive $1,000 annually, but
it is charged that scores of them work
for less, and that many congressman
club together and employ one clerk to
act as secretary for all of them.
Under the present arrangement, each
congressman is allowed $1,000 per year
for pay for clerical hire. The gov
eminent does not recognize the secre-
tary at all and the congressman are
at liberty to use the fund as they see
hit.
1T is charged that many congress-
men drew their allowance for clerk
hire, but pay only a. part of it to their
secretaries" said Colonel Livingston.
Il am informed that the clerks have
compiled p lot of information giving the
names Of congressman who are not
paying their clerks the full amount
allowed or who are in clubs with one
clerk serving several members. The
clerks are threatening to expose this in
formation unless they are placed on
the government rolls"
Colonel Livingston states that he has
favored putting the clerks on the rolls
and increa sing their pay. Also he be-
Iieves that the appropriation commit
tee will favor the plan to place the
clerks on the rolls and he believes that
the house may accept the proposed
plan.

to do but to print his name tomorrow,
not next week, or next month, but to-

hurting defiance at an already angered

issue and brought on the difficulty that
ended in his DEATH
The states theory of a conspiracy was
next considered by General Wright.
In a case of this kind, all of US who
witness a part of it, remember what has
been said in connection with the tragedy
Harmless words assume sinister aspect.
Words that never would have been re-
membered ordinarily, became pregnant
with guilt. And that is what happened
here. Thoughtless words are miscon-
strued. But the strongest argument
against the conspiracy theory is that con-
spirators who plot Il diabolical assasl-
nation do not go around, talking words
that are likely to rise up and convict
them"
GENERAL Wright finally took the propo-
sition of law, saying that even if the
preponderance of evidence did not justi-
fy a reversal the errors i'm the charge
surely WOulu. ana mere Iile general Iur-
nished another surprise to the state. In
excepting TO the charge to the jury, he
said
~ AGAIN CAUSES SURPRISE.
1.-THE trial judge limited the right of
seff-defense. He told the jury, \ if the
Cooper's went across the street to- talk
to Carmack. if Carmack resented the
talk, that they would kill him, they. the
Coopers cannot plead self-defense. Now
we contend that the Cooper's had a right
to so over to make legal demand upon
Carmack, even if they were armed and
were determined TO kill him if they
found it necessary, because he resented
their demand and put them in jeopardy"
The general argued at length on the
legal phase, not concluding his address
until after l o'clock, when the court
adjourned.
No indication was given as to when a
decision would be rendered. 1t is posi-
bic however, following the courts usual
custom, the opinion will be handed down
i'm about six or eight weeks. The justices
have not read either the record or the
briefs. which alone will require several
weeks.
