WESTERN BANKERS
DISCUSS PROBLEMS
WITH Mr.. HARDING
GUESTS AT DINNER PARTY
Discussing the Railway and
Agricultural Situations the
Bankers Expressed the Opin-
ion That Handling These
Home Problems Was Best
Means of Enlarging Trade.

Washington. June 24-Discussion
OF railway and agricultural problems
were said today to have occupied the
major portion of the time last night
OF President Harding and the west
ern bankers who were his dinner
guests. Foreign trade expansion also
was taken up and the Presidents
guests were represented as taking
the position that business restoration
at home would be the best means
of enlarging American trade.
The bankers were described as
hopeful that the recent organization
of banking pool for the heads of
cattle raisers would soon show good
results and tide the industry over the
present critical period The concensus
OF opinion was that by harvesting of
this years crops the farming indus
try would be much helped
In general discussion of the rail-
way problem the bankers expressed
the view that unless some relief plan
could be worked out for the settle
ment of the governments obligation
the railway transportation lines not
only could contribute nothing to the
revival of business but would be
greatly hampered in their own recov-
cry from war conditions
The foreign exchange situation
also discussed while the bankers gen.
orally felt that revival of domestic
business was the first concern of the
government they were said to have
been agreed any steps to discourage
or prevent speculation in the ex-
change would be timely and helpful.
They also were said to have stated
the export of certain raw materials
was essential at this time and such
export should be encouraged by pro-
viding of credits of some character
not now available.

as a result of doses of morphine he
took yesterday in an attempt to end
his life. His physician says that he

count of the act of his wife, who left

turned out later that he received the
information that she had run away
with a man named Wilbur johnson
who resides in Baltimore, and took
her two children, two girls aged re-
spectively eight and thirteen years.
The Hollomans have been living
on Academy street, and came here
from Berkeley, Va. Johnson is a

lima dealers, Wrightsville for next
years convention of the North Caro-
lima Merchants association, and B.
F. Roark, of Charlotte. the new presi-
dent marked the high spots in yes
terday's state convention which end
ed last night with the address of DR..
D. w. Daniel of Clemson college.
Governor Morrison is urged to turn
earnest ear to municipal wants and
both he and the general assembly to
give state dealers release from the
oppressive paint and lead tax. Insur-
ance Commissioner Stacey w. Wade
is highly commended for his fight
against the blue sky birds and ap-
peal is made to railroad employees to
submit to wage reduction as the only
hope of return to normal operation
of railroads. A grand kick is given
the lying advertiser and swift pun
ishment prayed against him.
Thus will it be seen that yester-
days session of the merchants was in
recommendatory mind. 1t touched
nearly all important national and
state issues. 1t commented on it's own
irregularity in saying a word for the
transportation companies. Informal
ly it heard Calvin Woodard of Wilson
speak on the recent freight rate vic
tories over Virginia cities protest.
But Mr.. Woodard would not speak
until first he tied newspaper men to
silence. What he said was all right.
1t could be printed with good effect.
Its net result would be gain in the
ends of public moralization But
Mr.. Woodard was speaking among us
girls and girls never gossip.
The new officers are B. F. Roark,
Charlotte, president; A. A. Joseph
Go1dsboro, vice president; j. Paul
Leonard, Statesville, executive secre-
tary, and A. w. Bunch, Statesville

OF IRISH LEADER

The Irish Republican Leader
Was Arrested by Mistake.

Learned He Was Released
Which Goes to Show He is
Not a Fugitive From Justice.

Dublin, June 24.-Eamon De Val
era, the Irish Republican leader was
arrested Wednesday night near here
and later was released it has been
learned.
There had been earlier denials
from Sim Feinn authorities that he
had been apprehended.
1t appeared certain De Valera was
arrested either in error or through
over zeal on part of the officials con-
cerned.
The arrest took place at Black
Rock county Dublin. The prisoner
was detained for the night and when
his identity was learned he was re-
leased yesterday afternoon. 1t was
supposed at first a man resembling
him had been arrested and on this
supposition Sim Feinn authorities
denied his arrest.
AS matter of fact it was declared
there was no intention on the part
of the authorities to arrest De Valera.
This statement would appear to be
carried out by the fact that he was re
leased when his identity was estab-
lished.
