licenses to continue operating.
Man Is Killed
Aroused by the growing scandals
emanating from the roadhouses,
which cIimaxed recently with the
murder of one man at the Green
Gable roadhouse, and a gun battle
in which one man was seriously in

the commissioners decided on their
drastic course.
Clubs and cafes where dancing is
not allowed will not be affected by
the action of the commissioners.
The county officials found that most
of the scandals in the roadhouses
were the outgrowth of rows start

Civic and business organizations
throughout the county have been
clamoring for action against tie
clubs which, they declared, were
giving the county an unsayory

Because of this agitation a blu

with two conflicting stories OF
what happened to bus load OF
North Carolina farmers when they
drove into Arlington Cemetery early
June %. Secretary of War James
Good today is trying to determine
which he will believe.
Senator r. M. Simmons, OF North
Carolina. a member Of the powerful
Finance Committee, has demanded
that j.. s. Dyer. superintendent OF
fine cemetery, be severely dis
ciplined for useless dIscourtesy" to
American citizens.
DiscOurtesy Denied
Dyer replied that the farmers
were not subjected to any dis.
courtesy. but, as matter Of fact,
were given an opportunity to see
the cemetery not extended to tour
lists every day.
Both reports agree that the fol-
lowing happened:
That the farmers rode into the
cemetery about $50 a. m. in bus
and started to drive around the
grounds. A guard halted them
when he learned that the bus
driver did not have q permit to
enter the grounds.
After that the stories differ en-
tirely.
Arrested, Says College Head
According to Senator Simmons,
e. C. Brooks, president of the
North Carolina State College. al
Ieges that the party was arrested
and subjected to unwarranted in
dignities."
Dyer reported to the Secretary CT
War that the bus driver was the
only person in the party who was
caused any inconvenience. He was
held in the cemetery for an hour
awaiting the arrival OF Dyer.

no reason to complain. They were

bus driver was waiting for me they

Conmercialism Refuted
Answering charges that the ceme-
terry was being commercialized in
favor of sightseeing buses from
the Capital, Dyer declared that all
such buses are given an annual
permit to move through the ceme-
terry grounds without making
stop.
Whenever a. bus from another
State enters the cemetery grounds
without a permit, the driver is
warned and the party IL allowed to
proceed, Dyer said.
