No. he is not the only one. It
seem TO be characteristic OF the Dem
ocratic politicians 10 fool the people.
But kitchin has not even done what
he had the power to do. He first
wanted TO put the trust officials be-
hind prison bars-that was before he
was elected Governor. Afterwards he
told Senator Lockhart that it was all
a mistaken idea to think the people
wanted a stringent antitrust law; af-
forwards he said they compromised
on the best law that could be passed
through the Legislature, and claimed
that the bill really had some teeth.
Well, if it has, those teeth have re-
NAMED hidden ever since the law was
passed. The Governor has not at
tempted to have a single trust indfct-
ed under the law. Will the Governor
say there are no trusts in North Caro-
lima?

CHURCHES PROTEST
AGAINST THEATER
MR. JOHN &. HAGAN NOTIFIES
BUILDING INSPECTOR OF
OBJECTION,
TAKE CASE INTO COURT
CITY OFFICIALS SAYS THAT HE
CAN'T REFUSE TO PERMIT
TO ERECT PLAY
HOUSE.

Mr.. John G.. Ifagan, we'll known
citizen and prominent member of
ST. Peters Catholic church, called at
the building inspectors office Friday
morning and lodged complaint against
the proposed erection of "a theater
at Eighth and Grace streets directly
across Grace from the Catholic
church.
When told that the inspectors office
had no authority to withhold per-
NIT for erection of a playhouse at
the corner in question, Mr.. Hagan in
timated that the protestants he rep
resented would apply to the courts for
an injunction, and on leaving an
nounced that he would lose no time
consulting attorneys with that end in
view
st. PauI's Also Opposed.
1t Is understood that members of
st. Pauls Episcopal church at Ninth
and Grace streets, a block away. are
also opposed to the proposed location
OF the theatre.
Bishop Van De Nyver. head of the
Catholic diocese of Richmond, Is said
to be especially opposed to the To-
cation in question and notified Father
Bowler, OF st. Joseph's. to enter pro-
test
property owners In the neighborhood
will protest. At the same time, how
ever, it Is understood objection on
their part Is not unanimous.
The proposed theater Is intended an

Proctor vaudeville attractions and that

Henry S, Wallerstein. who promot-
ed the projects and owns the land
site, stated Thursday afternoon in
conversation with The Nirginian that
the location OF the theater at Eighth
and Grace streets would greatly en-
hance property values IN that neigh
borhood and he did not anticipate any
objection from the churches.
The building inspector has already
granted tho theater promoters the
right 10 proceed with the preliminary
work.

Writing from her home In thero-
kee, :. g., Mrs. Ella Cudd wants to
know whether any of the land on
which Richmond Is situated ever be-
longed To parties by the name OF Seay
and Belcher, She has heard, she
says, that practically all the land In
Richmond once belonged to these two
gentlemen and as she is one of their
heirs she would like To put in "a
claim.
The letter. addressed to the regis

be able to furnish Mrs. Cudd with
the desired Information by searching
