TO
AMERICAN BUYERS
ENGLISH WILL LET CONTRACTED
FOR GERMAN GOODS THROUGH
BLOCKADE.
THE DYEsTUFF SITUATION
England Places Responsibility For
Holding Up of All Dyestuff Ship
ments on Germany.

Washington.-Conc in the
enforcement against American COM
merce of the British order-in-councll
were announced as a result of infor-
NAL negotiations just completed by
the foreign trade advisers of the state
department.
The British Ambassador, Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, assured the trade advis"
ers that their informal representa-
tons in cases where the British or
ders have caused undue hardships"
to American commerce will receive
special consideration.
The British concessions are espec-
tally intended to meet complaints OF
American importers that their Christ
mas trade is threatened by failure
to obtain goods made in Germany
and Austria Generally speaking, it
is Great Britain's intention to permit
passage through the blockade lines
of goods for which the American i'm
porters have entered into contract
with German and Austrian firms.
Heretofore it has been required that
the money shall have actually been
paid for the goods.
Goods valued at many millions of
dollars have accumulated at Rotter-
dam and await transportation to the
United States. The order applies to
these, but whether it will extend to
goods yet in German factories, but
under contract for delivery on this
side of the Atlantic, is yet undeterm-
ined.
The entire responsibility for the
holding up of dyestuffs of German
manufacture intended for America is
placed by British authorities on the
German government. To sit itself
straight in this matter the British
Embassy issued the following state
ment:
'On April IA, a formal notice was
issued by the British government
that they would allow vessels carry
ing two shipments of dyestuffs, which
were paid for by delivery in Germany
of certain cotton cargoes, to pass
without interference, provided the
vessels sailed under a neutral flag;
that the shipments were made from
Rotterdam; and the dyestuffs con-
signed to the Secretary of Commerce
for distribution directly to the tex
tile industries.
''This offer, which was refused by
Germany, still holds good"

For 80 years Miss Heck had been
president of the Woman's Missionary

ed to accept her resignation, which
she urged on account of failing
health; and for 20 years president of
the Woman's Missionary Society of
the uSothern Baptist Convention,
which accepted her resignation at the
last annual meeting when she tele-
graphed that she must not be reflect
ed because of failing health and that
she would not permit the society to
hamper it's work by retaining an in
active president on account of regard
it had for her.

GERMAN SOAP FROM SUGAR
Discovery That Promises to Be of I'M
.mense Importance to Country in
the Midst of War,

The discovery is announced of a
method of manufacture of soap from
sugar, of which Germany has plenty,
instead of from oil, which is scarce. In
the past it has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little
value. By the new method, it is
claimed, the soap produced is not
only fine and delicate, but it acts as
efficiently in salt water as in fresh
fact that may make the soap valu-
able for the navy.
Articles that formerly had to be
sent to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind of soap
The finest kinds of silks, it is alleged,
not only are not harmed by it, but
their colors are brought out brilliantly
and as new. In addition, the sugar
soap seems to be responsible for a
minimum of the wear and tear occa-
stoned by old-fashioned cleansing
soaps.

TRULL IS DOOMED
To- DIE FOR MURDER
SLAYER OF SWAIN MUST PAY
FOR THE CRIME WITH HIS
OWN LIFE.
CRAIG WILL NOT INTERFERE
Governor Refused to Interfere With
Sentence After Getting Report Of
Sanity Commission.

Raieigh.-Governor Craig declines
to interfere with the death sentence of
Charles Trull, SO the prisoner will
have to die in the electric chair here
on September 8, paying the penalty
for the murder and robbery of Sidney
Swain, of Charlotte.
The governors action is based on
the findings of the special sanity
commission that the prisoner was
sane and and the conviction that Trull
is guilty of first degree murder, so he
must let the law take it's course.
The announcement of Governor
Craig followed full investigation
into the facts of the case as well as
demned man the sanity commission
appointed at the request of Truths at
torneys, filed it's report with Governor
Craig, finding in that report that in
the opinion of the commission, Char
les E. Trull is sane now and was sane
at the time the crime was committed.
Truths attorneys, Mr.. Cameron Nor
rison and Mr.. Jake Newell of Char
lotte, asked for last opportunity to
present the matter, Wednesday was
was set as the date. And Solicitor
George w. Wilson, of Gastonia, who
prosecuted Trull asked likewise for
hearing at that time. Solicitor Wilson
did not appear.
Before Governor Craig in his office
at the capitol, Mr.. Cameron Morri-
son and Mr.. Jake Newell presented
the case. Governor Craig listened to
all of it with interest, asking ques-
tons.
TrulIs mother, Mrs. Charles Trull,
of Columbia, with Mr.. Coleman,
friend of the family, and Mrs. Jack
son, of Union, S. c., Trull's sister,
were present. They sat in silence,
listening intently, while the attorneys
were arguing for the young mans
life. When it was over the lawyers
suggested that Governor Craig exam
inc the mother or the sister, for any
facts about the young mans life. But
he declined. 1t was shortly after
ward that the mother made her ap-
peal.
Sitting in her chair and stretching
out her arms slightly she started to
speak and her voice broke.
Governor she cried, won't you
please commute the sentence of my
boy. I'm his mother"
Then she lost control.
ooh, governor" she sobbed. 81
know he's not what he ought to be,
but he's my boy. Don't let him die"
That was all, she bowed her head
comforted by her daughter. Governor
Craig sat in silence In a few mo-
ments, the lawyers, the mother, and
daughter went out. Mrs. Trull had
regained her composure then Gov.
Craig had said that he would con-
slider the matter and announce his de-
cision later.

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken in SeIec.
ton of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next of shelter for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen.
tails.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as"fegards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
In the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in. building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and Office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mou1dings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction is away from
the fire hazard of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments Of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shing.e which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly .supplanting the wooden article
There are many reasons for this. Tne
slate surfaced shingles add beauty TO
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as
surfacing.> The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, shoulu
guard himself against buying slaIe
surfaced single that is not guaraE
teed by a reliable and Responsive
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on tne
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for tne
buyer to get some satisfactory assuf'
ance that the roofing or shingles ars

Albany, N. Y.-Addressing the Con-

,demned the system of "bossism"
and invisible government" which he
said to his knowledge has dominated
New York for 40 years, and pleaded
that the people be armed with the
short ballot to establish their own
rule.
"This domination" Mr.. Root said,
"has caused a deep and sullen and
long continued resentment among the
people at being governed by men not
of their choosing. They demand a
change. The short ballot plan is
solution or at least, it may be the
first step that will work out a so1u-
