DELEGATES WILL
ATTEND CONFAB
Chamber OF Commerce
To Extend Party Chiefs
Invitation To Come
Here; Will Decide Con-
vention City In Novem-
Der.

Salisbury may be chosen as the con
v%ention city of the state republican
party in the spring of 1882.
An organized effort by local party
leaders, augmented by the chamber of
commerce and local civic organiza-
tons, is being made to land the con-
vention.
R. C. jennings, acting postmaster,
and member of the state republican
executive committee, has addressed a
letter to James S.. Duncan, state chair
man, Greensboro, extending an invi-
tation.
The letter follows:
81 understand that your esmnisree
on the fi slr ne and and pace ss5=sf 8 Sne slr;sz
state republican convention.
please allow me to suggest to you
and your committee the city of Sal
isbury as an ideal convention point.
I am authorized to state that an au-
ditorium having a comfortable seat
ing capacity of 1900 or o will be
available without expense. This audi
forum is located in the heart of the
business district of this city.
salisbury has three modern hotels,
numerous first class boarding houses,
unexcelled rail and transportation ia
%cilities and an airport unequalled in
the two Carolinas. Every facility
would be at the Command of the con-
vention, | feel confident, and a hearty
welcome would be extended by he n
tire citizenship, irrespective of party
affiliation.
II trust your committee in its de-
alterations will give Salisbury favor
able consideration.
with highest personal regards and
best wishes, l am,
Every truly yours,
"R. C. JENNINGS,
Member of State Republican
Executive Committee"
The state republican executive COM
mittee will meet in Greensboro the
latter part of November to select the
meeting place Of the convention
which will be held in April 1882. A
total of 1880 official delegates are en-
titled to a voice in the convention.
Paul Phillips, manager, of the To-
cal theatres, has advised that the
Strand Theatre will be available for
the convention hall, should Salisbury
be selected.
The republican state convention
was held in Durham in 1926, in Raj
eigh in 1923 and in Charlotte in
1880. 1t is not believed either Of these
cities will be selected for 1882. The
choice apparently lies between Sails
bury and Greensboro, with the odds
favoring Salisbury.
The convention, at any rate, is
months off. Very likely it will be held
about the middle of next April. The
primary next spring will be on Sat
urday, June 4, and the state conven-
ton will be held at least six weeks
: before that date. All candidates for
state and congressional offices must
o file with the state board of elections
their notices of entry and the conven-
/ ton, in order that its candidates may
properly file their notices, must hold
e its session before the beginning Of
t the six-week period. In all probability
e therefore, the republican convention
0 will be held between the tenth anc
t twentieth of April, it was forecast
by republican leaders here.

Although it was reported an agree

SEARCH FOR ALIENS
ILLEGALLY IN DISTRICT
immigration Chief for This Section
Sends Letters Of Inquiry
to All Officials.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. Md, March 14.-Let-
tiers requesting information on all aliens
illegally in this country were sent by
T. B. r. Mudd, commissioner of immi-
grafton for the eighth district, to all
municipal and State officials in the dis
trict, comprising Maryland, District of
Columbia, the IS northern counties of
Virginia and the Is eastern counties Of
West Virginia.
Mr. Mudd said he was not making
particular drive, but that he thought
the time opportune to locate as many
persons Illegally here as possible He
pointed out that with the present I'M
employment situation many aliens were
keeping American citizens out of work.
with view to protecting the inter-
ests of both the American citizen and
the bona fide alien resident, especially
during unemployment. every effort
should be made to rid the United States
of the alien who is illegally here, and
whose very first act upon coming to this
country, his surreptitious entry, was in
disregard and violation of our laws" the
letter said.
The disposition of an alien frequently
means a vacant job to be filled by some
one who is rightfully here, the letter
points out. The communication defines
the difference between "deportable" and
mon -deportable aliens" for those not
conversant with the immigration laws.

MICHEL REPLIES
TO CLERGY ATTACK
Maryland Anti-BIue Law
Sponsor Takes Excep-
ton to Critics.
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March a.
Speaker Francis A. Michel Of the House
yesterday took exception to the OPPOSE
ton to his anti-blue law measure ex-
pressed by Archbishop Curley and
Bishop Edward T. Helfenstein, with the
declaration that their position was not
sound.
Archbishop Curley, head of the Ro-
man Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore,
and Bishop Helfenstein, head of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Mary
land, he said, directed their attacks at
motion pictures and not against abro-
cation OF the Sunday statutes.
To Give Hearing.
At the same time the Judicial Pro-
ceedings Committee of the Senate, in
whose hands the bill was placed after
having passed the House Tuesday, an
nounced a hearing would be given to
opponents on Tuesday morning at 1O:30
o'clock.
Archbishop Curley's stand in regard
to the present bill is the same attitude
he expressed two years ago. He does
not say that he found any fault with
the bringing of the ancient Sunday
statutes up-to-date, giving the right to
each section to decide the question for
themselves. He merely says the pres
ent-day movies are bad, which is no
real argument against the bill or
against lifting some of the Sunday re-
strictions," Speaker Michel said.
Senator S. Scott Beck, Kent County,
chairman ofsthe Senate Committee, said
that DR.. w. w. Davis, secretary and
lobbyist for the Lords Day Alliance,
and officials of the Citizens League for
Better Motion Pictures had asked for
hearing on the measure
Assumes Leadership.
Senator Dudley G. Roe, Queen Annes
County, has assumed the lead in the
fight against the measure in the upper
branch.
The House Speaker, who fathered the
bill originally, said he already had been
given assurances by several prominent
attorneys that the measure conformed
to the constitution and all other Mary
land laws
AS drawn, the bill would have granted
the right to decide the Sunday ques-
ton for themselves to all local govern
ing bodies throughout the State. It was
amended to leave conditions as they are
at present in IL of the counties and
all towns Of 5000 population.

ASKS ROAD TO SHAFT

Delegate Williams Urges Short
Highway in st. Marys County.
BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 14.-The
House of Delegates was asked yesterday
to direct the State Roads Commission
to construct road from the main
highway in St. Marys County to a
monument on the site of the old Fed
eral prison at Point Lookout.
The action was asked in a Joint reso-
luton introduced by Delegate Lawrence
Williams of st. Marys County. The
resolution cited the fact that the monu-
ment was but 800 yards off the road,
but that there was no way to reach it..
