SAYS COAST LINE:
NOT RESPONSIBLE
SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
BATCH OF 12 OPINIONS IN
SECOND FILING.
JUSTICE HER'lV CLARKSON
Empioye Was Being Tran, 1orted From
His Work to Plymouth BY His
Foreman.
Raleigh.

tdlblSU.
In dozen opinions. comprising the
second Fall filing. the North Carolina
Supreme Court held that the Atlantic
Coast Line was not at fault in 1918
collision between rail gas car and
an automobile when the employe was
being trans ported from his work to
Plymouth by his foreman in order that
his selective service questionnaire
might be filled out
The appeal was by the plaintiff Hay
wood Gardner from judgment of non
suit in Washington county at the
hands of Judge John Kerr at the April
1923) term Of court. According to
the facts in the case, Gardner was a
section hand on the Atlantic Coast
Line and on the day of the accident
quit work at noon and was carried to
Plymouth by his foreman, X, U. Rob
ertson. on the gas car used by the
railroad. The accident occurred at a
grade crossing and Gardner, it was al
legged, was permanently injured. She
railroad paid his hospital bill and ex-
pense of treatment in Richmond
Justice Heriot Clarkson, writing the
opinion of the court said.
From the facts. We can see no duty
tSat the defendant owed the plaintiff
that it failed to discharge. 1t was a
kindly, gratuitious and friendly act
that one man showing to another by
borrowing the defendants motor car
and the use of its tracks to do a neigh
borly act. Now shall the defendant
respond in damages? We cannot so
hold. The foreman was not acting at
the time, in the scope of his employ
ment. He was not about his master
business but doing a kindly, generous
act on his own responsibility. The
accident was unfortunate and deplor-
able but we cannot charge negligence
and duty to these defendants.

To Pay OF Bond Issues.

North Carolina will pay OFF its bond
issues with proceeds from automobile
license and gas taxes, Secretary OF
State w. N. Everett said here.
Mr.. Everett asserted that the peo-
pie should cooperate more with the
officials in the enforcement of the
auto license laws. Every cent realiz-
ed from the licensing Of automobiles
the official said, saves that much in
taxes to the people and leaves that
much more for the further conduct
of the good roads program. II tax
payers who have come up and paid
their license taxes would only report
those who have not done so, then
they would help themselves for there
would then be this additional money
for roadbuilding.

Louisiana Confessions.
BY Universal Service.

Following sensational confessions
obtained in Louisiana the Depart
ment of Justice yesterday launched
a nation wide probe of the Ku Klax
Khan, it was learned.
William j. Burns, chief of the
Bureau of Investigation, has dis
patched investigators into Eastern
Western, and Southern States tc
make inquiry into hooded mob
crimes.
Confessions in Burns hands
charge that these crimes are di-
rected from one State into another
and this phase of the alleged khan
activity makes Federal action neces-
sary, it was stated.
There is no doubt that in many
instances of the hooded mob
crimes" that the persons responsible
for them wore the regalia of the
Ku Klux Khan and had at times
been identified with the invisible
empire" 1t was declared.
