MOB VICTIM APPEALS TO FEDERAL OFFICIAL


 HOUSTON. Tex. Jan. 1S.-Mrs. R. II. Harrison, victim of fNggers at Goose Creek, left her home SaturdaS afternoon and started for Houston to ask protection from Judge J. C.. Hutcheson.
 Just before leaving. she said to a friend:
 T am convinced that the local au- thorities here and at Houston will do nothing for me in this case. Thus far they have confined their ques- tions to me as to whether R. A. Ar mand (also flogger victim) and 1 were anything except good friends. I am going to Houston to appeal to the federal authorities. I am afraid to remain in Goose Creek"
 Goose Creek today was in a state of marked excitement.
 Goose Creek citizens who did not approve of the flogging administered Friday night week ago to Mrs. Harrison and Armand, attempted to hold a protest mass meeting Mon day night of this week. Five hun dred persons gathered and for more than an hour, according to witnesses they "milled' about, but there was apparently no one who dared to take the lead. Finally the crowd dis DerSed

Resignation of Officer Scar brough Accepted and Sen tenee Suspended and

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD


 W. k. Scarbrough, state law en- forcement officer, who was sen fenced to four months hard labor and fined $500 by the Montgomery cir cult court for assaulting Aston Pick ett well known Montgomery man, was relieved of the hard labor sen tence and S100 of the fine by Gov ernor Kilby Saturday afternoon.
 But at the same time the governor accepted Scarbrough's resignation, which becomes effective immediately. Scarbrough's case was affirmed by the court of appeals Tuesday.
 In issuing the order relieving Scarbrough of the hard labor sen tence, Governor Kilby placed in the file a statement in which he de- clared that Scarbrough's conduct was reprehensible and ineXcustable,' and as that of an officer of the law he should have restrained himself
 He relieved him of the hard labor sentence because he did not have the benefit of a witness, which ap- peared for him when he was given a preliminary hearing, Pickett, who prosecuted Scarborough, contended that the law enforcement man struck him one time without provocatlon. Scarbrough contended that he deliv- cred the blow only after Pickett had used a vile word. Pickett admitted that he used the word, but contended that it was after Scarborough had struck him.
 Issues Statement.
 In issuing the order revoking the hard labor sentence and S100 of the fine. Governor Kilby said:
 "The evidence in this case is con flieting. Both sides agree that a vile epithet-one that is generally regarded as equal to blow-was ap- piled to the defendant by the prose- cutor. The prosecutor admits he used the epithet, but claims he did so only after being struck. The de- fendant swore he struck the blow after the language used. His pas sion aroused and his temper lost be- cause of the insult.
 "The defendant was an officer of the law. As such offlce~ he snould have restrained himself. His conduct was inexcusable, not only with re- speet to the blow. but also in his manner of addressing the prosecu- tor at the beginning of the incident

CHINESE LEADER QUESTIONS PEk|NG AS CAPITAL SITE
Effort Being Made to Move Head of Government to More Central
 Location
By Associated Press

PEKING. Jan. iS.-A recent decla- ration by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen that the geographical location of Peking un- fits it as the capital city of a pro- gressive nation has prompted many localities to claim the honor. Han kow. 600 miles up the Yanstsze river. presses its clam on the ground that it lies in the center of rich agri- cultural and manufacturing district, which probably will be improved in the near future by the extension of railroad in Szechwan.
 Hankow's citizens advance a sen timental argument that it was in their city that the 1911 revolution be- gan which resulted in the establish ment Of the Chinese republic
 Ranking, said to be favored by Dr. Sun, has been the capital of China numerous times. Its name, trans- lated, means southern capital, as op- posed to Peking, northern capital. Ranking was the seat of government of six dynasties between the fourth and sixth centuries and was made the teenth century. In 1911. the city was taken by the revolutionaries, who es- tablished thel provisional government with Dr. Sun as President
 HangchOv Claimant
 Another claimant is Hangchow, 110 miles south of Shanghai. It was the capital of one of the Sung em- perors who chose it because of it's scenic splendor.
 Those who urge changing the capi- tai, argue that Picking is too far re- moved from the rest of the country, having long been retained merely to please the Manchus. They say that if China is to be united politically it must have a capital more accessible to the whole country, and, incidental ly. free from the terrific dust storms which, at certain seasons, blow in from the Gobi desert. It is admitted, however, that China. in view of it's more pressing problems, probably will not make a change in the near future.
