HAVE FACTS
Wall Street Bomb Explosion
Which Has Kept Police
Working Many Months Bids
Fair to be Explained at an
Early Date Says Department
of Justice Officials.

New York, April 2-Important
faces in possession of Federal and
municipal authorities bearing on the
solution OF the mystery surrounding
the Wall Street bomb explosion of
September 16, 1920, were made
known here yesterday from two of
fetal sources.
William J. Flynn, chief of the bu

ment of Justice, said the perpetrat-
ors had been identified weeks ago by
agents of the department as members
of the same radical group Of plotters
responsible for the bomb outrages of
1919 in various Eastern cities, and
that a vigorous international hunt
for them is in progress.
This announcement was substan-
tiated by statement before the
board of estimates by Maurice E.
Connolly president of the Borough
of Queens, who urged delay of the
proposal to increase the reward from
$4,000 to $4,000.
'SThe> mystery may be entirely
solved" he said, "bg the time the
special committee to be appointed by
Mayor Hylan is ready to report on
the proposition of increasing the re-

The borough president in explain
ing his stand, declared the authori-
ties "are well on the way toward
solving the mystery" Anything we

GOVERNOR WILL Be
OFFICIAL SPEAKER
COUNCIL OF STATE
DECISION OF COUNCIL
Corn Crop in State Last Year
Was 33,937, 900 Bushels. Of
This Amount Eighty-seven
Per Cent. Was Of Merchant
able Quality. Wheat Stocks
Twice as High as Last Year.
(By Max Abernethy)

Raleigh, April 2-Governor Cam
eron Morrison is to be official spokes-
man for the Council of State in the
future, according to State officers
who are members Of the council.
In the future matters of State
transpiring behind the doors Of the
chief executives Office will not be
related by any other than the COVER
nor himself, so the story goes. News
paper men learned of this "unani-
nous decision" on the part of the
council members and the executive
following the weekly meeting Thurs
day at which time the subject came
up for discussion. The decision was
in the nature of "gentleman's agree
ment" to let the governor talk to the
people of North Carolina via the
press. What actually occurred at the
meeting save the entering into of the
agreement does not appear since
the governor has not authorized the
publication of anything in connect
ion with the meeting.
Heretofore the governor has indi-
Gated his willingness to talk freely to
the press and since his Inaugural
tion he has done so. Whether he has
seen the "error of his way and in
tends to change the Morrisonian
policy as announced by himself the
day following his induction into Of
ERn writ of fn hn h ioif fyy
end of his regime is a question that
has been hoisted by reason of the
'tgentleman's agreement
The matter of salary increases for
the minor employees in the various
State departments was to have been
considered at the weekly meeting of
the council but because the State
superintendent was out of the city
it was postponed until today.
''The 53 percent of North Caro-
farms March 1 was over forty per
cent more than year ago." accord
ing to compilations just made by
Director Frank Parker of the North
Carolina Cooperating Crop Report
ing Service.
"The estimated amount is 33,937,-
OO0 bushels now, compared with 23,-
100000 on March 1, 1920. Four per
cent of the crop is shipped out of
the counties where grown and the
eighty-seven percent was of mer-
chantable quality.
The wheat stocks showed twice
as much on farms as a year ago,
there being SO percent of the crop
or 2,711,000 bushels three weeks ago
and 1,213,0 900 bushels twelve months
before. Only five per cent of the crop
is shipped out of the county where
grown. OF the oat crop eighteen per
cent was on farms and only one per
cent shipped from the average county
where produced"
Raleigh police officers are direct
ing their attention again to the i'm
moral conditions prevailing in East
Raleigh Following a raid conducted
yesterday two women and two men
have been arrested and others have
been placed under surveillance. 1t
is the announced intention of the
officers to rid the city of the women
who are said to be conducting bawdy

 That Seward should be the cap- ital of the territory of Alaska is ad- m1tted by the members of the legis- lature from the Third division and if the legislators of the Second division and Fourth division will work in con- junction with those of this division in presenting memorial to congress the capital will move to the terminal of the government railway, where it should be. Juneau is far south of the central part of the state, and with the capital at Seward it would cen tralize things in Alaska proper. The residents of both Nome and Fair banks could get to the capital and back in few days time, and business could be better tranacted by the sev- eral bureaus. The territory has nc buildings of it's own worthy the rame and when they are erected they should be at place where all Alaska can be served. By moving the capital to the center of the territory much time can be saved in the transaction of business.-Valdez Miner.
