GETS OUT OF BAD SCRAPE
LEE WANTS THE LAW APPLIED
TO STRIKERS.
Virtually Admits Trainmen and
switchmen Are Now Beyond
Control

Control.
Washington, April 9.-Virtually adj
mitting that the strike of railroad
rainmen and switchmen over the
country had gotten beyond the con
troll of union officials, w. G. Lee pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Trainmen,
telegraphed Representative Cooper, re-
publican, Ohio, asking whether pres
pnt laws apply to renegade organiza-
Mons or those melting illegal strikes. y
Mr. Cooper, who is a member of the
trainmen's union, took the matter up
with Acting Attorney General Ames
and was told that while the depart
ment of justice was watching the sit
nation it had no statement to make
at this time.
Before Mr.. Lees telegram was re-
ceived, the senate had adopted with
ont a record vote Senator McCormick's
resolution directing. the interstate
commerce committee to investigate all
strikes of railroad employees not sane
toned by the responsible officers of
the railroad unions Chairman Cum
MINIS. of the Interstate commerce COM
nittee, announced late today that the
inestigation would begin next Tues
day.
Meantime, the senator has tele-
arapled to Mr. Lee asking for the
names and addresses of the labor lead
ers in Chicago connected with the
strike with view to suInmoning them
before the committee In calling up
his resolution, Senator Mccormick
said President Wilson's failure to ap-
pcint the members of the railroad Ia
bor board, which is to handle wage
and other disputes under the provis-
ions of the transportation act, made
t3e senate investigation necessary for
in no other way could the public be
given the facts.
White House officials said today the
President was selecting the members
Of the board and that the nominations
could be looked for at any time.
Administration officers are giving
close attention to the strike, but they
indicated that the government would
not intervene at this time, leaving the
matter to the union officials to handle.

MUNICIPAL COURT HAS BUSY
SESSION.

Will Wade, white, was given hear
ing in municipal court Friday morn
ing on a charge of receiving Ford
automobile, alleged to have been stol-
en- from w. G. Myze, a prominent DaV-
idson county farmer. Probable cause
was the finding Of Judge o. A. Kirk
man, who ordered that the defendant
be held for Guilford superior court un-
der bond in the sum of $1,000.
Mr.. Myze testified that the car was
stolen from the carnival grounds at
Lexington two weeks ago, after it had
been driven there y-hisi son. The
younger Mr.. Myze took the stand and
corroborated the testimony offered by
his father.
A Mr. HedgecOck, who resides sew
eral miles from High Point stated.
that the car, answering the descrip-
ton of the one alleged to- have been
stolen, was brought to his home by
a man and woman two weeks ago. It
.remaiaats@ there. for seEafa asZsa IN
til the defendant Wade and another
man, whom Mr.. Hedgecock said he did
not know, called for it. Two other
witnesses, placed on the stand testi-
fed that they saw the automobile at
the home of Mr.. Hedgecocks
Oscar Hayworth, Of High Point,
placed on the stand by the state, said
he saw an automobile here several
days ago that answered to the descrip-
ton of Mr. Myze's. On cross exami-
nation he admitted that he paid very
little attention to the car and said
there were many cars that might be
described as the one alleged to have
been stolen:
The state rested and no evidence
was offered by the defense. Attorney
Carter Dalton. representing the de-
fendant, offered motion that the case
be dismissed. He contended that
should the court find any evidence
against the defendant it would not
have Jurisdiction, because the alleged
offense was committed in another
county. He would have to be indicat-
ed in that county, Attorney Dalton
said.
Prosecuting Attorney C. A. York i'm
mediately made the point that in the
event the court ruled. that the Of
fense was committed in another coun-
tv Judge Kirkman could name the
venue. However, the prosecuting at
torney thought the defense should
have offered a motion to have the
case, moved to another county before
the evidence was delved into. Coun~
sci for the defendant then contended
that it was not known at the time
what evidence was to be offered by
the state.
The private prosecution was repre-
sented by Attorney J. F: SpruiIl, OF
Lexington.
Judge Kirkman ruled that accord
ing to the evidence the car was
brought to High Point, and probable
cause was found.
Isaac Jones, white youth, was found
oui1tv of a charge of aiding and abet-
ting in the larceny of a bicycle and
fine of S25 and the casts was imposed.
John Dixon was found not guilty OF
a charge of using language calculated
To bring on a breach of the peace.
