City Commissioners Call Election For
Long Needed Civic Improvement Here
Central City Park Proposed With An
Admirable Site Available
VOTE ON W. A. SMITH PROPERTY

A city park election has been called
on c. OeC.c.e July Is when, it is be-
l1eved, bonds for the purchase of the
W. A. Smith property, corner Main
and Fourth, will be ratified and the
city assured a splendid park site.
This highly desirable site for a city
park, from the lack of which Hender-
sonville has long suffered, seems to
fill all requirements. 1t is located in
the very heart of Hendersonville, in
cludes about two-thirds of city block
adjoins property already owned by
the city, has ample shade and will re-
quire but the minimum expenditure to
make it Immediately available for
park purposes.
The property is bounded by Main
street, Fourth avenue, west, and King
street. It's northern boundary is the
Queen Theatre, running on a line to
King street. The Citizens National
bank owns a small frontage on the
corner of Main and Fourth, soon to be
improved with one of the handsomesS
bank buildings in the state.
All the buildings on the property,
except one, will be removed The ex-
ception is the cottage owned by R. G.
Stillwell, vine-covered structure and
one admirably adapted for CLUB
house. There is a gentle and appeal
ing slope from Main street to King
street, there is a fringe of trees on
three sides. There are many fine trees
on the property, shrubs and more than
ample space for city park. All those
wooden structures owned by the city
and resting in the rear of the city hall
will, of course be removed.
There seems to be an absolutely
unanimous demand on the part of the
public. for a city park, and for city
park that is centrally located. Hen
dersonville's chief business is a re-
sort business. A resort without a
central breathing spot, place for the
nurses to take their little charges
where they may play safely, and where
their elders may rest, is lacking in en-
terprise and determination to increase
its business, it is pointed out. Hen
dersonville has suffered long enough
from this lack of enterprise, it is de-
clared, and the time and the oppor-
tunity is now at hand to remedy this
condition.
: Advocates of a city park point out
that here is property splendidly adapt
ed to the purpose. They suggest a
band stand there, and look forward to-
that time when there will be daily
concerts there, as their should be
right now. They say they want a
mark in the centre of the city, not at a
considerable distance from the city.
They declare that when the buildings
are removed from this property, the
childrens play ground built, vines
trained on the walls of the adjoining
buildings, paths laid out and perhaps
a pretty fountain of musical waters
inviting one, to rest, they say that
when this has been done that Hen
Jacksonville will have a park that will
enhance it's attractions as a resort and
tht will be the best investment the
city has ever made.

TOWN SPENDSIH. PATTERSON
$500 AT THE BUYS MAIN ST
WRONG TIME !! STORE&COODS.

The board of trade recentlS endors
ed an advertising propo sition SUD-
| mitted by the Atlanta Journal The
Journal is to publish thrss pages OF
Hendersonville views in its ;inG p: go
graVure section. The Subscribers =,
| those either taking space or nIei ely
donating various sums, are to pay for
this service the sum of $500. The
Charlotte Observer recently published
similar edition which was highly
complimented here and which MIST
bring results.
The Atlanta Journal has a much
greater circulation than the Charlotte
Observer. Possibly 100000 people
will enjoy the excellent and attractive
pictures to be reproduced il that Ta-
per, and no doubt many of them y Ii
remember Hendersonville when they
decide they want to go 10 tn noun
tains for vacation-which will be :.
most wise decision indeed.
But a we'll known. business man here
calls attention to the fact that mos;
people have already decided where
they will spend their vacation this
year. . H also declares that HenGer-
sonville is already assured OF all the
tourist business it can care for this
season. He says this money, this
large sum of $500, is being spent at
the wrong time, and that is his only
criticism of the matter.
He believes that this $500 spent
next fail, or whenever may be the
right time to spend it for winter, or
fall business, would bring possibly
$4,000 or more to the city at a time
when this money would be apprecia;-
ed by the merchants and !1)tal and
boarding house keepers. In other
words, this man believes in advert1s>
ing, believes the proposition of the
Atlanta Journal to be a good one. but
also believes the money was spent a
just the wrong time to bring the l,est
results.
He stresses the Importance OF
lengthening the season, of ringing,
people here when we need them and |
can care for them operly. He insists |
the Journal publicity will come toe
late to influence a great 1mEer O.
visitors, and that it is IN !
necessary to spend money at the time |
this edition will appear 20 ring peo-
pie to a resort that will then be
crowded to the very limit.
There is an enormous patronage
awaiting us in the north" he says.
''It will take money to tell these peo-
pie about HendersonvilIe and there is
where our advertising appropriations
should go. Bring the people here in
the spring and the fall. Henderson
Vile has the steam-heated hotels
and boarding houses to care for them
properly. The winter climate here
will certainly appeal to them, for they
will come from a climate much more
severe and where the sun shines bu;
once in a while. Let us fill up the
places in the winter time and until
we have enough money to spend the
year round, let us devote all our
towards that end. .Asheville
has done it and has made money by II.
We are just as well equipped now to
care for a certain class of that winter
business as is Asheville, and we can
get it.
"This $500 being spent with the At
anita Journal is $500 largely wasted

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE NOT so DRASTIC

PARIS, June 12.-Failure of Italy
to sign an agreement whereby the
United States secures permanent
possession of German ships siezed in
American harbors, but sent to Italy
in delivery of supplies, is endanger-
ing the United States in possession
of those ships. Several weeks ago
England and France signed the agree

the ships; but whenever Italy's for
NAL signature has been asked, she
las refused upon one pretext OF
another, without denying the Ameri-
can property claim. Japan is with
holding her signature pending ar
rangements for cona.ruction of Japs-
lese ships in the United States. But
it is believed that will present no real

MINES GIVE BIG TONNAGE

WASHINGTON, D. c., June g.
According to Railway Administration
figures the mines and oil wells of the
United States furnish 55.75 of the ton
mage hauled by the railways. The
material manufactured FROM cres and
minerals produced from American
mines and oil wells furnish rs per
cert Of the remaining tonnage. This
ratio has existed in a greater or less
degree for many years. L, 1910 the
total combined appropriation for the
Bureau of Mines and the Geological
Survey was $1,999,S15 AMI for the De
partment of Agriculture $17,000,000.
In 1919 tire combined appropriations
fer the Bureau of Mines and Geologi-
cal Survey was $4,533,040 as against
$72,00O,000 for Agriculture. Seven
ty percent of the cost Of producing
raw metals and coal is for labor. The
American Mining Congress will ask
Congress for encouragement of min
ing through reasonable protection for
essential war metals and minerals.
Bills are already before Congress for
protection of several Of these SUB
stances.

The account of the Cuishenberry
trial given in these columns yester-
day morning stated that the evidence
had closed and that argument would
begin yesterday morning, which was
the procedure followed.
The court room was filled with in
terested auditors who had gathered
to hear the pleas of respective coun-
sci; and in the assemblage. the fair
sex appeared in goodly numbers.
Those who anticipated fine forensic
display were not disappointed; for
the young handling the case were
at their best, and they made fine and
effective pleas.
At 9:3O o'clock County Attorney
Leslie C. Hardy led in the opening
speech for the state, and he spoke
about half an hour, making a fine
argument.
Duane Bird made the first speech
for the defence, taking about forty
miutes in an analysis of the evidence
and brief dissertation upon the
doctrine of reasonable doubt. Mr.
Bird was followed by S. F. Noon ESQ,
leading counsel for defendant, and
that gentleman presented most
brilliant and effective argument,
weaving into the production a master
ly presentation of the doctrine Of rea-
sonable doubt, and its application IN
the testimony in this case. Mr..
Moons speech took about forty
minutes ALSO. Then the county at
torney closed the case with a mas
terly speech an hour in length,
traversing the main line of defence
and endeavoring to break the force
of doctrine of reasonable doubt, as
presented by counsel for defendant;

Dodge Corporation, Verde, by the
the Verde Extension Co., and Clark
dale by the United Verde, would make
industrial towns in the East built by
government standards look quite or
dinary.
1t has been the policy of many OF
the the mining companies of the West
to encourage their employees to build
their own homes, assisting them by
means of their building and loan as
sociations, but some of the companies
have undertaken housing projects
and it is interesting to compare some
of these with the government stand
ards.
+! The coal mining camp of the Phelps
Dodge corporation at Dawson, New
Mexico, makes an interesting compar-
ison, because good housing in coal
mining camp is unusual. This COM
pany adopted its standard cwo years
OClOIS CIlG government uIIUSILOOh u
make standards. All Of the features
provided as requirements in govern
ment construction are included in the
Dawson housing, and in many cases
they have been improved upon. While
the government requires 20 feet h.
tween buildings, and back yard Of
l20 feet, condition which is regarded
as revolutionary, Dawson has 80 fee
between buildings and 30 foot back
yard.
Traditionally, coal mining camps
ARE cases of abominable living and
sanitary conditions, ard while the
camps of Virginia and Pennsylvania
are gradually following the pace set
them by the western camps, the pro-
gressiveness of the West is illustra-
ted by the fact that their houtng stan
dards of years back are even better
than those set by the government as
ted by the fact that their housing stan
industry as almost revolutionary.

GOVERNMENT 7

PARIS, June 12.-It is officially
announced that the Allies have cabled
Admiral Kolchak's government in
Russia that his answer to the Allies
conditions for recognition is sub
stantial agreement to the Allied
terms; and the Allies are therefore
willing to extend him the support
they promised.
This announcement comes some
what as a surprise, for previous Of
ficial statements indicated that Kol=
chak's reply was unsatisfactory.
The Allied action is practically a
recognition of the Omsk government
as the government of Russia, ana
that it is anti -Bolshevili.

HOUSING PROGRAM
OF Government
AMODEL FOR The
CENTURY

One of the most interesting and un-
expected bi-products of the war has
been the Inauguration in this country
of the policy of building workmen's
dwellings by the federal government,
end the Inauguration of government
standards or housing for workmen IN
der the Housing Administration of
the Department. Oto K. Editz, the
well known New Ycrk builder, has
been made Housing Administrator,
and associated with him has been a
group of public spirited professional
men working day and night to dev-
elop the government housing pro-
gram.
"The government action will stamp
for the next hundred years the type
of house that is to be built for indus
trial workers., said one observer, but
irrespective of this statement, there
can be no question that the standards
adopted by the government will have
a potent influence upon the housing
of wo-,.men in this country for manv
years to come.
The government standards recently
published go into considerable detail
of requirements for the houses, COW
erirS the questions Of lig't, ventila-
tion, depth of the front and back
yards, the distance between houses,
and takes into consideration even
such details as the depth of clothes
closets, arrangements of halls, stairs
and doors, the place for sinks and
wash tubs, plumbing, heignth of build
ings and of rooms. It also complete
ly bars living quarters in Easements
and cellars, and the old type dormf-
tories, barracks and bunk houses, and
tenement houses are regarded as gen.
orally undesirable.
That the West is in advance of the
asst in housing betterment is shown
by the fact that in the East the gov
ment standards are regarded as the
high water mark in housing practice,
while there are many towns in the
West that could boast Of all govern
ment standards several years before
such standards were made, and In
many of the features, have gone the
government one better.
The mining industry has long been
interested in housing development;

verdict: The boys had imbued too
deeply with the doctrine Of reason
able doubt the minds Of some of the
jurors, who stood out for verdict
in accordance Herewith, and secured
it.
In commenting upon the case one
of the jurors said: "Had the law
permitted a compromise verdict /
would have stood for that; but It
had to be verdict of murder in the
first degree, and execution, or an ac-
quittal; and under the doctrine or
reasonable doubt and my oath when
F. l went upon the jury, could not vote
, for that. So I stood for acquittal."
A prominent attorney commenting
upon the case yesterday evening
said "it was case of an overcon-
fident prosecution and brilliant de-
fence"
After argument had ended Judge
O'Connor charged the jury, two bail
ifs were sworn; and at l o'clock
yesterday afternoon the Jury retired
to consider of their verdict" as
legal phraseology puts it.
About o'clock in the afternoon
the jury came into the court room
in charge of their bailiffs, and when
they had taken their pla1es in the
jury box and answered to their
names, Judge O'Connor sprang the
second surprise and sensation in the
trial. Said he:
Gentlemen of the jury 1t has come
to my knowledge that this jury has
sent out for an almanac, and that an
almanac has been procured and sent
into the jury room. Is that fact"
Several of the jurors admitted the
fact.

"Where is the almanac, now?" in
terrogated the court.
II think it is in the jury room,"
said one of the jurors.
A bailiff was dispatched to the jury
room, and he returned in few
miutes with the almanac, which was
handed up to the court.
Gentlemen of the jury" said
Judge O'Connor, Gin the introduction
Of this almanac into the court room
you have committed a grave 1ndis-
cretion, to say the least. An almanac
was no part of the evidence in this
case, and introduction in this case OF
one into the jury room, without an or
der of the court and the consent Of
counsel on both sides Of the case,
there has been committed a grave
breach of correct procedure which
cannot go unrebuked.
"The jury will now resurn to the
jury room and continue its delib-
arations."
Somewhat crestfallen in. appear
ance the jurors filed out of the court
room, and the court turned its at
5ention to the case in hand.
At 6 o'clock p NJ, just as the
court had continued the case on trial
Until this morning, and was about
70 adjourn for the day, it was an
bounced that the jury was ready 70
bring in a verdict. The defendant
vas brought up from the Jail, coun-
'el for the defendant hastily called
and the jury brought into the court
room. After the usual preliminary
gated the jury and asked if they had
arrived at a verdict, receiving an af-
fi1o.ative reply. The court directed
the foreman to hand the verdict to
the clerk, who recorded it and read it
aloud to the jury, questioning them
if it was their verdict, receiving ar
firmative reply which was also re-
corded.
Then the jury was excused from
farther consideration of the case, and
the defendant was ordered discharged
from custody, which order was carried
out.
AS soon as Cuishenberry had got
his belongings from the cell in which
he had been confined in the Jail, his
counsel, Fred Noon and Duane Bird,
took him in an auto and delivered
him at the headquarters of his COM
pany out at the camp. And that
ended one of the most sensational
cases ever tried in Santa Cruz
county.
For their brilliant conduct of the
defence in a most difficult case at
torneys S. F. Noon and Duane Bird
are receiving congratulations from
all quarters. Surely they 'put one
over' in great shape.
