SPECIALIST TO DECIDE
Compensation Referee Turns Over
Medical Testimony In Case .

To decide whether man died from
gas poisoning or sleeping sickness,
Compensation Referee G. W. Bosler
Yesterday turned over the medical tes-
timony taken in compensation case
to n specialist in the latter disease.
The issue resulted from the death OF
William =. King. Of Andalusia. who
was employed as a gas and electric
welder in the chemical plant of the
Barrett Company, Frankford
King was stricken March 90 last. He
died April 3, leaving widow and six
children. Previous to his illness King
enjoyed excellent health. Counsel for
the widow and children presented a
claim for compensation on the ground
that death was due to gas poisoning
contracted by the decedent in the course
Of his employment
This contention is opposed by the
casualty company carrying the insur :
ance. A physician in the company s
employ testified the symptoms shown
by King during his illness we're indica-
tive Of sleeping sickness.

exception to Is attributed to Sir james
Crichton Browne, president of the
Sanitary Inspectors Association OF
England. Sir James said:
"If every one took a daily bath, hot
or cold, tuberculosis virtually would
disappear from the world, as is being
abundantly proved in the United states.
A daily bath is a greater factor for the
preservation of health than all the medi-
cine ever brewed or concocted. Every
home. however humble. should have a
tub, provided, II necessary, by the state.
A bath has an uplifting power and min
listers to the self-respect Of mankind.

WORLD PROBLEMS
Hughes Declared
That Relating Ourselves
Unnecessarily to Political
Questions Abroad With
Which We Have No Concern
is Not to be Desired.

his fellow alumni of Brown Univer-

by relating ourselves unnecessarily
to political questions that involve
rivalry with interests abroad with
which we have no concern
The Secretary said however 1--WE
cannot escape our relation to econo-
mic problems of the world.
America is interested in the emo
nomic settlement that might be made
in Europe. The key to the future lies
with those who make and control the
settlement.
America was the exemplar of free
institutions aiding Europe and call
ing forth the supreme endeavor in
the world war.
This sentiment is still with us
We have not lost the capacity for
the high and unselfish endeavor that
link us with unalloyed unit of JOY
and service in the crisis of the Great
War. The springs of faith of mutual
trust, of fellowship have not dried

approval of Secretary Baker and pro-
vided large accommodations of stock
were to be turned over. to the u S.
Harness Company to be recondition-
ed ana sold or sold in its original
condition on a profit sharing basis
The facts developed by the attorney
General led him to the conclusion
that these contracts had been entered
into as d result of a conspiracy on
the part of certain former temporary
officers of the army to secure these
contracts and certain large stocks.
The war department naturally fol-
lowed the advice Of law officers of the

TO PUBLICITY FOR

BANKERS WANT PRIVACY
Recently the State Tried to Bor-

Because of Publicity Given

State more money il every transact
ion is to be given t'pitiless publicity"
in the daily press. This is the declar-
alton of Council of State members
off" during the last As hours by
bankers to whom they had applied
for loan which was authorized
Monday.
The State Treasurer is authority
for the statement that more than d
dozen bankers in North Carolina
have offered TO loan the State money
provided you do not rush into print
with our Names" The ban nkers ap-
parently do not care for publicity OF
this sort, which they consider rri-
vate business, when divers interpre-
tations are put on the reason why
they have loaned money to the State
at six percent.
But Governor Morrison, as spokes-
man for the Council of State, has
authorized full publicity to every
transaction that is made. This has
been the Morrison policy from the
position; that the States business is
the peoples business and he is in
sistin:; iaat everything De given the
widest l,ubI1city.
Treas1a er Lacy doesn't Gaestion
the right of North Carolinians to
know What their State officials are
doing but he observes that such a
policy is not conducive TO borrowing
MONEY from North Carolina ke nks.
'I have been State Treasurer for
Il years." Colonel Lacy said today
and the Morrison administration is
the only one that has given full public
ity to it's financial transactions and
at the same time the administration
is being attacked for not doing the
very thing that is being done every
day
Only recently the State tried to
! borrow $4,000 for improvements at
one of the charitable institutions and
the bankers decline to furnish the
money because they think too much
publicity will be made of the tran
saction.
