North Carolina. He entered the
University Of North Carolina ir

married to Miss Bette Gray,
daughter of Major William Gray
of Northampton County. Shortly
after his marriage he moved to
Northampton County where he
made his home at Long View"
the remainder of his life.
When the dark clouds of war
began to hover threateningly
above the peaceful homes of the
Southern people, no mans heart
was deeper stirred in behalf of
home, family, and friends than
that of the courageous country
lawyer, Tom Mason. Realizing
that the sovereignty of his State,
his home, his fireside and every
thing that was dear to him was
in danger, he took up the cause
Of the Stars and Bars and was
given the rank of Captain of
on the staff of General
Robert Ransom.
He served his country as true
soldier. He was always where
luty called, without regard to
danger or aspirations.

,entleness and fairness to his
'ellowman which was so conspic-
,ous in his later life. Indeed, so

The galleries were soon throng-

NVzNIsZ n tual meaning
~ of the word
has been interpreted in several
ways. Some say it means "beau-
tiful land" but the more likely
derivation is the Algonquin word
"ajawa" which means across"
or beyond" This was probably
applied to this tribe of Indians
by the Illinois tribes who were
hostile TO them, and resided OH
the eastern side of the Missls-
sippi river. The early white Wis
itOrs to this region included Mar
quette and Joliet, who landed
here on their explorations of the
Mississippi in 1913.
The first settlement was made
by a French Canadian named
Julian Dubuque. He obtained
in 1888 a large grant Of land
from the Indians, where the
city which was named after him
now stands. Here he flOurished,
mining lead and trading with the
Indians, until his death In 1910,
when this settlement was given
UP.
With the acquisition of the
Louisiana Purchase in 1903.
Iowa, which was a part of this
huge territory, came into the

France. At first Iowa was a
part of the Louisiana territory,
then of Missouri territory. Later
it formed u portion Of Michigan
territory and then OF Wisconsin
territory. In 1888, however, 1t
attained a distinct individuality
when It was formed into the
Iowa territory.
Pioneers soon came In large
numbers and about 1882 a sub
stnntial settlement was made
near Burlington, and Dubuque
was founded in 1888. The pOpu-
latlon grew so rapidly that in
1916 Iowa was admitted as the
tweniy-ninth state Of the Union.

FIGHT FILMS MUST
NOT BE SHOWN HERE
Screen Reproduction of Battle
Is Restricted to State of
New Jersey.

Speciar Despotch TO THE New YORK HERALD.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Action pictures
of the Dempsey-Carpentier prize fight
cannot lawfully be exhibited in any State
outside of New Jersey, 1t was officially
declared tonight by the Department Of
Justice.
When the attention Of officials was
drawn to reports that film producers
announced their intention to exhibit the
films throughout the country II was de-
clared that the Federal statute bars such
exhibitions as well as the transportation
Of pictures of the kind in interstate COM
merce and that attempts to show them
publicly would be stopped and prosecu-
tions follow in Federal courts
Assistant Attorney General Goff has
made very careful study for the Attor-
ney-General of the statute covering
filmed fight pictures and reported
not single loophole that would
allow any promoter to present to the
public a picture of the Dempsey-Car-
pentier fight without risk of a fine Of
$1,000 or one years imprisonment or
both.
Attorney-Gcneral Daugherty, II was
stated. has given no ruling on the ques-
tion, nor has he given any private opin-
ion which others could by any stretch
OF the imagination construe as authority
to 60 ahead to show the pictures. The
Attorney-General, under the law, gives
opinions only to Cabinet members who
may request them from the Department
OF Justice. and never renders opinions
or rulings to private individuals.
II the pictures are shown. therefore
Federal District Attorneys In all locali-
ties where they may be exhibited are
expected TO take procedure Mt once to
see that the law is observed.
The question whether or not so-called
"still" pictures of the fight. II shown
would violate the law has not been
passed on by the Government officially
Officials surmised that possibly picture
promoters may have planned exhibitions
Of stills" on the ground that such
showing might come within the law and
not be construed as n pictorial repro
duction" OF the fight Their comment
on that point. however, was unofficial
and they say II was not TO be accepted
as encouragement TO such exhibitors.
