WILBUR TO CONTINUE
AS CABINET MEMBER
President Hoover Announces Le-
land Stanford Would Extend Leave
as Long as Necessary.

President Hoover announced today
that DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary
of the Interior, would remain in this
position and that Leland Stanford Uni
versity would extend his leave of abb
scence as president as long as Is neces-
sary.
In making this announcement the
President said that DR.. Wilbur is too
valuable man to leave the Govern
ment service. and he appeared to be
happy at the action on the part of the
university in making his continued SER
vice possible.
The Presidents announcement was in
response to recent articles to the effect
that Secretary Wilbur's leave of absence
had expired and would not be extended.
The President said that inasmuch as
he himself was a trustee of the uni
versity he felt he could speak with more
authority on this subject than the
student daily in which the article about
DR.. Wilburs leaving the cabinet was
first printed.

In the final analysis it Is up to the will
of Congress in passing the annual APP

honor these claims or not.
It is understood that Mr.. Bride and
his legal assistants came to the conclu-
sion that the result of the four cases
which the Court of Appeals has de-
cided against the District under ap-
peals from Borland law assessments is
to remove from the possibility of as
sessment such a. large number of parcels
of property that any assessment sought
to be collected in future, no matter how
equitable otherwise, would be inequitable
On the ground of discrimination in
favor of the owners of those parcels
which have been declared exempt.
The backbone of the attack on the
has been the inequity of the system of
assessing one-half of the cost of road
way improvements of certain types
against AUDITING property owners on
the front-foot basis. Under this sys-

cording to various decisions of the
Court of Appeals. against rural land

the Borland law when in private prac-
tice. He won the decision in the Knox
case, in which the court ordered can
celled assessments against property on
Naylor road northeast on the ground
that they were inequitable.
The land in that case was rural in
character and the argument was made
that the paving of Naylor read, although
conceded benefit to the District as
a whole did not benefit the abutting
property to the extent of the assessment
levied against it under the Borland law.

BAILEY CAMPAIGN PROBED.
Few Thousand More Than Previously
Reported Found by Nye.

Few Thousand More Than Previously
Reported Found by Nye.
RALEIGH, N. c., October IA Dr.
The Senate Campaign Funds Commit
tee investigating the North Carolina
senatorial primary, yesterday uncovered
the spending of few thousand dollars
more than was previously reported in
behalf of Josiah w. Bailey. Democratic
nominee, and prepared to shift its scene
Of activity INTO Tennessee.
From the same witnesses who told of
the added expenditures in the success
full campaign of Bailey over the veteran
Senator F. M. Simmons, the committee
heard the contention that the official
reports covered all the disbursements
required by law.
The committee apparently was not
inclined to contest that view Chairman
Gerald p. Nye characterized the hear
ing at its close as most refreshing in
comparison with some of the things
disclosed in other States"
Admits Payments After Primary.
c. l.. Shipping of Greensboro, who
managed Bailey's campaign, admitted
under questioning he had paid cam
paign bills Of between five and six
thousands dollars" after the primary.
The total of Bailey's campaign eX-
penditures as reported to the Secretary
of State was just a few hundred dol
lars under the $4,000 maximum per-
nnitted by North Carolina statute.
Shipping asserted that when the report
was filed, the only bills he knew to be
outstanding were the telephone and
telegraph bills for the final day of the
campaign.
The later bills, he said, came from
campaign workers and were largely for
gasoline for automobiles used ito get
voters to the polls.
James H. Pou of Raleigh, Bailey's
fatheer- in-law, told of spending APP
proximately $4,000 in the campaign.
Bailey's report of contributions listed
him as having given $3.50.
Pou said, however, that the $3.50 was
all that was spent through Bailey's
headquarters. He explained his belief
that the remainder under the statute
was not required to be reported, and
Nye interrupted: "Of course" said Nye,
"a candidate in any State is not ex-
pected to report moneys expended in his
behan over which he has no control
and, perhaps, no knowledge.

Morrison told of giving 81 900 to Herbert
Gulley, Raleigh detective, and Bailey
field workers.
This $1,000, Gulley later testified was
spent in various counties Ito get out the

quarters had no knowledge of it.
Morrison said the total he put into
the campaign fund of various candi-
dates was $500.

the committe had reports that large
