BASEBALL TRIAL
IN FULL SWING
Defense Tries to Impeach
Burns for Perjury, Burns
Keeps His Head.

Chicago, July 21.-The defense in
the baseball trial today began what
was announced as an attempt by
the court to impeach Burns for per-
jury, and early in the day had ap-
parently forced Burns to contradict
points on his testimony how gamb-
lers had conspired with the White
Sox players to throw the 1919 series.
Attorney Thomas D. Nash of the
defense asked Burns if he had testi-
fed on direct examination that he
met Reisberg Weaver and Felch in
Cincinnati hotel day before the first
game of the series.
Eyes" answered Burns.
Don't you know these players were
out at Redland field practising at
that time" shouted Nash. Don't you
know most of the players went to the
races that afternoon and weren't
near the hotel"
II saw them at the hotel' said
Burns.
Nash then got Burns to admit he
did not go to room Of the Sinton
Hotel the night after the first game
and did not see the players that
night.
Nash read from the record Burns
testimony of yesterday that he went
to room No. that night and saw
all the players except Joe Jackson.
The State repeatedly objected to
the examination and would show that
the defense misconstrued Burns test
imony. Nash repeatedly shook his
hand at Burns and shouted II am
going to impeach you Bill" Burns
remained unperturbed.

MELLON ASKS FULL
AUTHORITY AS TO
DEBTS. OF ALLIES
BEFORE A COMMITTEE
The Secretary Say. That in
the Face of Promises to For
eign Governments for Defer
red Payment He Thinks This
Country Cannot Insist Upon
Any Immediate Payment.

Washington, July 21.-Dissatis
faction with negotiations of the Will
son administration for refunding al
lied debts prompted secretary Mel
Ions request for blanket authority ir
the transportations he told the sen
ate finance committee. These negotia'
tions were conducted in London by
former assistant secretary Rathbone
and Mr.. Blackett for the British
treasury.
The secretary said he did not favor
the Rathbone-Blackett plan because
"it would give us lots of obligations
from Great Britain and we could not
make good job of it,"
His conference with the British
ambassador made May IL, 1921, Mr.
Mellon said, was held at the state
department after comforting with
Secretary Hughes.
What did ambassador Geddes say
for extension of time for payment"
Senator Lafollette of Wisconsin ask
ed.
"We did not go far" the secretary
replied, there were really no nego-
tiations. 1t was just a preliminary
conference and it was the basis for
future negotiations"
Senator Reed Democrat, Mississip-
pi referring to the letter to the Brit
ish ambassador of May 1921 asked
Mr.. Mellon if he desired to modify
his statement yesterday that he felt
bound by an arrangement made by
Wilson for deferment of interest.
II do not say whether morally we
are bound until l examine the docu-
ments which l have not done," said
Mr.. Mellon, Il do not see how in face
of the arrangement agreed upon in
which foreign governments were ad-
vised of deferred payment we can at
this date change and insist on inter-
est payment before the date in 1922
agreed upon.
I'm refunding would consider it
my duty to do that which was to
the best interest of my government. I"

CONNOR AWAITS DECISION
CONNOR AWAITS DECISION
Hundreds of Cases in the State
Will be Affected by the De-
cision Which Concerns the
Payment Of Tax by Defend
ants in Whiskey Cases
Though Held Guiltless.
(By Max Abernethy).


Raleigh, July 21.-Judge Henry G
Connor is not expected to render {
decision in the Volstead tax cases re
Gently tried before him in Fedora
court here until an opinion is hand
ed down Ivy the United States Su
preme Court interpreting the Fedora
act.
There are hundreds of the case:
now on the docket in which NORTH
Carolinians will, if the supreme
courts opinion comedies with the
Interpretation placed upon the act BY
prohibition enforcement officials, be
forced to pay the tax to the collectol
of internal revenue despite the fact
that the Judge and the jury held
them guiltless of manufacturing OF
selling liquor. Judge Connor's refus'
al to render decision in advance OF
the supreme court means that de-
PENDANTS who are relying upon the
courts will not be forced to pay the
money to the collectors Office in the
charges against them are thrown out
# officials.
But if the departments interpreta-
tion of the Volstead law was follow
ed defendant might be acquitted by
a jury on a charge of manufacturing
the tax or fine as prescribed by the
whiskey and still be compelled to pay
Federal act if in the opinion of even
a deputy collector or revenue agent
the court had erred in acquitting the
defendant.
Judge Connor did not like this pro-
vision of the law. 1t naturally work
ed a great hardship on persons who
had the means to resist the collection
of the taxes or who sought to recover
from the government the money paid
to cover the fines levied by the rev.
enue collectors Office, defendants who
were not so we'll situated were put
to an even greater disadvantage
since they would come into court
without counsel. Few at first real
lied just what the Volstead act
meant, or at least the Interpretation
of it as made by the prohibition en-.
forcement officials. And they of
course, get their instructions from
higher up, nothing is optional with
them.
Pending the supreme courts opin.
ion Of the law which was asked for
by another State even before North
Carolina understood that trial by
jury was not absolute, disposal of the
cases in Federal court here and else
where in the State will not be made.
Collector ]. w Bailey has served
notice that defendants from whom
his department is seeking to collect
fines would not be prosecuted or fore
ed 10 pay until Judge Copnor's deci-
sicn lad been made. There are many
hundreds in North Carolina.

TOBACCO PRICES
MAY Be IMPROVED
Reports State That Poor To-
bacco Now Being Offered.
Prices Poor at Tabor.

There are indications that the dull
opening of the South Carolina tobac.
co market may brighten later in the
season. Reports coming from South
Carolina are to the effect that the
tobacco being offered for the most
part consisted of trash, sand lugs
and burnt leaves. Naturally this
kind e tobacco would bring a poor
price.
The Watson Tobacco Company
learned through letter from Mr..
w. P. Anderson, Jr., who is on the
market at Tabor, s. c., that $4,000

pounds of tobacco were sold on that
market yesterday. The average price
was six cents. The quality Of the to-
bacco offered for sale on this market
was not learned here.
Reports state that Lake City,
which is the largest market in South
Carolina, averaged about $S per hum
dred with $40 for wrappers and fine
cutters the maximum for the day.

London, July 21.-The bank Of

The announcement has removed
the uncertainty which has been
prevalent in the money market for
the past few weeks. There has been
cheaper money brought about by
stagnation in trade and inplation in

A Speeding Sensation
Then A Forced Vacation

Low lies the form of Hiram Hor-
ner, out in his boneyard bower; he
swung his car around corner at
forty miles an hour. He might
have made the curve at twenty,
with safety first in view; for he
had time to spare a-plenty; no ur-
gency he knew. Before him stood
a mighty boarding that shut the
street from sight; but madly he
went henry-fording, and turned
sharp to the right. Around the
turn a truck was plugging, a truck
of ample power, and into it Old Hi
went chugging at forty miles an
hour. 1t was a mad and foolish
caper for one possessed of brains,
and with a sheet of bIotting paper
we soaked up his remains. Now
other fools may go a-fying, in
sSiting sudden death, but Hiram in
his crate is lying, beneath the
dewey heath. And other nuts will
make us shiver as up the pike they
pass, but Hiram, in his little hiv-
yer, no more steps on the gas.
And fans will still be pinched for
speeding, and made to dig up
rocks, but Hiram Hornef, little
needing, is resting in his box. oh,
horns will honk and cutouts thun-
der, and cylinders will hit, but
poor old Hi is sleeping under three
wagonloads of grit.
