WHEREABOUTS OF

Ne YER Be KNOWN
JONES DIED YESTERDAY
Negro Who Hid the Seal When
jefferson Davis Was Cap
tured Has Refused to Di-
: vulge Its Whereabouts. Da-
Wis Told Him to Keep Silent
and He Has Kept Silent

Washington, April 9.-Taking
with him to the grave the secret OF
the whereabouts of the great sea-
of the confederacy, which he did
when jefferson Davis was captured
James Jones, the negro bodyguard OF
the president of the confederacy,
died here yesterday.
Jones was a North Carolina negro
and his body will be taken to Raj
eigh tomorrow for burial. The aged
colored man had been falling for
some time, but even as death ap-
preached he kept silent about the
confederate seal.
Throughout his long life, with his
service in Washington, James Jones
would never reveal what became of
the confederate seal. "Marse jeff
had hidden that he never tell-and
he never did. Veterans of the union
and confederate armies, newspaper
writer's, curiosity seekers, and curio
hunters from time to time urged
Jones to reveal where he buried the
great seal. They argued that the civil
war was far in the past and the seal
should be produced for the inspection
of the younger generation of today
and the generations that are to fol-
low in a reunited country. Always
James Jones shook his head and to
the end he maintained his silence.
The negro bodyguard was with
Jefferson Davis when his capture was
affected; in fact, he is said to have
warned his master of the approaching
escape in time. Jones accompanied
President Davis to Fort Monroe,
where he was placed in prison.
Jones was born in Warren county
North Carolina. After the war he
headed a negro fire department in
Raleigh and became a minor city of
fetal. He turned Republican in poll
tics, but always voted for Represen-
tative William Rufin Cox, of North
Carolina, who represented the state
in the house in the 4Sth and 49th
Congresses. Later when Mr.. Cox be-
came secretary of the United States
senate he brought Jones to Washing
ton with him and gave him a mes
senger's job in the senate. That was
in 1898. Since that time he has had
several jobs about the capitol and
was a messenger in the senate sta
tionary room until a short time be-
fore his death.

BEASLEY ANSWERS WADE

Raleigh, April 9.-In answer tC
the attack of Stacy w. Wade, Insur-
ance Commissioner, on the Interna-
tional Petroleum Company, of San
Antonio, Texas, Roland F. Beasley,
former Commissioner of Public Wei
fare in North Carolina, and now as
sociated with that company, wired
The News and Observer last night
that the International Company has
made free use of the United States
with a knowledge that the Federal
government would hold the officers
personally accountable for any abuse
of the privilege.
''They have not knowingly violated
any law" he declared.
In his statement Commissioner
Wade charged that "the company is
seeking to do business in North Caro-
lima in open and flagrant violation
of the law and the fact that two
North Carolinians are officers of the
company, serves to make the COM
pany's criminal operations all the
more reprehensible. Mr.. Beasley's
statement follows:
"The International is managed by
set of men with a clean record
and they earnestly desire to con-
duct the affairs of the company along
honorable and lawful lines. They
have not knowingly violated any law.
They have made free use of the UNI
ted States mails in distributing lit
erature with a full knowledge that
the federal government would hold
them personally accountable for any
abuse of the privilege. If they have
violated any of the laws of North
Carolina it is entirely by inadvertanc
and has not been called to their at
tentfon."

Fire, presumably caused by a de fective fIue in the furnace room, to- tally destroyed the beautiful residence of MT. and Mrs. Hugh Campbell, 2606 North Central avenue, shortly after o'clock yesterday morning. Only a few of the most treasured household furnishings were saved. The loss is estimated at between S30, ,000 and $40, GOO.
 Chemical apparatus from the central fire station responded to the appeal for help, although the home was out side the city limits. The flames had gained such headway before the ar rival of the apparatus, however, that the chemicals were of no assistance. No water with which to fight the flames was available, the nearest main being some distance down Central avenue.

GREAT INTEREST IN
 FIRST M. [. REVIVAL

The revival now in progress at the First Methodist church Is having its influence upon the lives of many Phoenicians. Business and profes- sional men who respect the church and what it stands for are getting so in earnest for the welfare of their friends and citizens that they are setting aside some of the urgent calls of business in, order to get men to attend the revival and get under the influence of the gospel: thereby helping to make bet ter men and good citizens. We have heard the call and mean business, is their slogan.
 Rev. Stavely is preaching wonderful soul stirring sermons. which are full of thought and genuine gospel. His earnestness, kindled by the spirit of Jesus Christ, adds to his eloquence, making him a forceful and winning preacher. Inspirational music by the chorus choir, male quartet and pipe organ is making the service attractive to all lovers of the good old music of the church.
 Tonight the first half hour of the service will be in charge of Dr. W. W. Wilkinson and a group of professional and business men. The male quartet will sing and other special music will feature the service. The public is cor dially invited to attend these serviosS which begin at 7:30 each evening.
