In Raleigh

While we sat in the auditori-
UNI in Raleigh last Friday eve
ming and waited fer the first
bout to come on, noticed a man
in evening clothes walking brisk
ly to and fro, comforting with
officials, giving suggestions to
the taishkieei.s and examining with
a critical eye the platform and
the ropes. When he came close
to me | saw that it was my old
friend, Richard S. Busbee. His
concern with the management
of the affair was explained by
the fact that he was member
of the Raleigh Boxing Commas
sion. | recalled that he had pre-
sented very much the same APP
pearance almost exactly thirty
-'aars before when he served as
ta -ar and led cotillions

plimented him this +
ming upon dressing suitably Tor
the occasion he said he was
scheduled to go from the bouts
to a dance at the Country Club
but | believe he would have had
on his evening clothes anyway,
out of respect for his Office. Mr..
Busbee's physical appearance
has undergone remarkably lit
tie change since he left Chapel
Hill in 1898. His contours are
a little more rounded, but his
hair, teeth, and jovial disposi-
ton are now about as they were
then.

The Henderson boys, Archi-

reading a lurid tale of Edgar

world beneath the earth's crust.
Toward evening, returning from
uptown, they ran into their
fathers study, painting and ex-

cried. With difficulty their faith

MAKEA JOURNEY
TOEXAMLNE FIRE
:. ALARM SYSTEMS
Hogan, Knox, FOister, Bennett
and Burch Go to Lexing-
ton and StatesviIle
HOKN Or SIREN - WHICH? ?

The members of a committee
appointed by the board of alder
men-E. M. Knox, nj. E. Hogan,
j. S. Bennett, P. l.. Burch, and
Fire Chief Foister-motored to
Lexington and Statesville yes
terday to make inquiries about
fire alarm systems.
Their investigation is the re-
suit of the recent destruction of
the Pickard Hotel here in Chapel
Hill. The chief and other Off
GERS here failed to hear both
alarms on that occasion. What
the aldermen want to do now is
to make absolutely sure that all
members Of the company get
prompt notice of a fire.
In the daytime there is little
chance of their not hearing the
siren, since they are downtown
close to it. But when they are
at home at night the noise is apt
not to arouse them.
At the last meeting of the al
dermen Mr.. Bennett said he was
aTTaHgIHg TOT automatic tETE-
phone signals in the homes of
the chief and two other officers,
but even better provision than
that is desired. The question of
the relative merits of an electric
driven siren and a compressed
air horn is being considered. In
Lexington the committee saw a
horn. In Statesville they found
a five horsepower siren. (The
one in Chapel Hill is two horse
power.) They consulted with
the fre-fghting officials in both
towns.

REPORT RIOTS AT
 JAP CEREMONIES
g Demonstrators and Two Sol.
 diers Asserted Slain

London, Nov. q (UP)-The Man. chester Guardians Shanghai corre- spondent said today that the Chinese official koumin news agency at Tokio reported that 29 labor dem- onstrators and two soldiers were killed and 60 demonstrators were wounded in Tokio in clashes with the police and Japanese troops on Nov. Il and 12 during the enthrone- mcnt ceremonies.
 200 Arrested
 The report said 200 demonstrators were arrested.
 The koumin agency said censor ship had prevented foreign corre- spondents from cabling reports of the incident and that likewise the Japanese press had been prevented from mentioning the clashes.
 The Koumin agency further al- leges, the Guardian correspondent said, that serious labor demonstra tions occurred in Osaka and kyoto.
 Eight Killed
 The agency said that on Nov. II, eight demonstrators were killed, 50 wounded, and about 200 arrested, and that the next day two soldiers and 2l laborers were killed.

STEWART FREE 0F
 PERJURY CHARGE
Oil Man Acquitted by Jury in
 Washington Court

Washington, Nov. 21 R}-Oil is highly infiammable. The blaze started some years ago by the in- quiry into the conditions surround ing the leasing of the naval oil re- serves is no sooner quenched in one place than it breaks out in another.
 Robert w. Stewart, chairman of the board of directors of the Stand ard Oil company of Indiana, was ac- quilted yesterday in the District of Columbia supreme court of charges of perjury. The case was one of the many ramifications of the inves- tigation into the oil leases.
 To Start Probe
 Almost coincident with the verdict Senator Walsh, democrat, of Mon tana, said he intended to ask the senate to inquire into the reasons of Dr. Hubert Work, former secretary of the interior for renewing lease in the Salt Creek oil field to the Sin- clair Crude Oil Purchasing company. Recently this lease was declared in- valid by the department of justice.
 And these two developments. with oil as their background, had two others for company.
 Asks Aid
 The District of Columbia court Of appeals asked the supreme court for interpretations on five points in- volved in the appeal of Harry F. Sinclair, oil magnate, now under sentence for contempt of the senate, and Senator Borah. of Idaho, has begun returning the donors $S,O00 which he received as part of pros- pective fund of s160.O00 which he intended to return to Sinclair.
 Sinclair gave the $160,000 to the republican party in 1920 and when the circumstances of the gift came to light, Senator Borah said he felt that party morals demanded its re- turn. He announced that he would receive voluntary contributions to purge" the Sinclair contribution.
 That was some months ago. He began parceling out sS,o00 to 340 persons yesterday. Asked about the interest the money had earned Be- rah smiled and replied: T can say I am not charging anything for my services"
 Shows Joy
 Stewart, tall, thick-set and gray haired. showed his joy at his ac- quittal yesterday by giving each of the three women jurors, hearty hug. He has twice been brought to trial after facing a senate commit tee and twice has gone free. He was acquitted in May on a contempt charge.
