A three part program of western
powers to exert effective diplo-
matte pressure upon Japan was
foreseen by American officials to-
day if. as seemed probable, Japan
rejects the terms for Cancellation

2.-Adoption of the Hoover
Stimson non-recognition doctrine
toward Manchoukuo that no state
shall recognize a puppet govern
ment at Changchun and no finan-
cial or other material support
shall be given Manchoukuo; and,
3.-The creation of an interna-
tional commission. probably in
Guiding the United States and
Russia, in an endeavor to conclli-
ate the dispute.
GENEVA, Feb. 15.-(UP).--
Japan's threatened withdrawal
from the League of Nations may
involve the United States and
other powers in a serious dispute
over the possession of 1900 islands
in the Pacific, which form a bridge
of 1000 miles east and west, be-
tween Japan and the United
States.
The islands, formerly German,
are held by Japan under q man
date from the League of Nations,
acting as custodian for the victo-
rious powers in the World war.
Nobody at Geneva believes ia
pan would relinquish the islands
when she quits the league. altho
she would have no legal right to
retain them.

AYCOCK BILL
PROTECTSN.C.
TEACHERS PAY
These and Superintend-
ents Would Retain Prs"
ent Salary Levels
By J. c. BASKERVILL
The Times-News Rurcnu
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Feb. 15.-The eight
months school bill introduced in
the house by Representative ChaS.
B. Aycock of Wake county should
in reality be entitled "a bill to
prevent any reduction in the sala-
ries of county superintendent
and school teachers and to keep
all present county superintendent
in Office" for in spite of Aycock's
claims that the bill will reduce
school costs materially. a careful
analysis of the bill fails to show
how it can or will reduce school
costs.
The belief here is general that
this is the bill that will be backed
by the county superintendent and
the North Carolina Education as
ISOLATION. and that it was largely
written by persons close to the
school and textbook forces. If en-
acted. it would save the jobs of
80 of the 100 county superlntend-
ents and increase the salaries of
many of these from $4,000 to
$4,000 year. If another basis
used in the bill should be used,
the salaries of 81 superinten-
dents now getting $4,000 a year
, would remain unchanged, % su-
perintendents now getting $4,000
a year would be increased to So
! 500 a year, while the salaries of
seven superintendent now get
ting only $4,000 a year would be
increased to $4,000. The salaries
of only 10 superintendent now
getting $4,000 a year would be
decreased to $4,000.
The total cost of salaries for
county superintendent under this
bill would amount to approximate
( " $2S7, 900 a year, while the pres
ent cost of superintendents' sala-
ries is only $282,00O.
But the sections of the bill re-
lating to superintendent are not
the only "jokers" in the bill, &C
| cording to those who have been
studying it. The section relating
! to teachers salaries contains Just
as big a "joker." For while this
section gives the impression that
| it will reduce teachers salaries
five per cent below their present
/ levels, or Is per cent below the
1881 levels. the bill re-enacts the
salary schedule already adopted,
previo, to 1881. and thus auto
matically restores the salary IN
creases increment for experience,
which more than compensates for
the five per cent salary reduction.
| So according to information OBJ
! tanned today from the budget buL-
! reau, this provision. if enacted,
! would mean an actual increase IN
salary to most teachers who have
been teaching for more than one
year and more than make up Tor
the five per cent cut in salaries,
The best estimates obtainable
here today from those in a posi-,
ton to know. are that 1t would
cost the state not less than S2O,-
100000 a year to put this school
bill into operation. In addition TO
this, it would cost the counties
and districts still more, since the
bill does not prohibit the levylng

SAY BLUEBIRD
follower THE
SPEED RECORD
1900 Horsepower Car
Makes Remarkable
Trip
BY HENRY M'LEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb.
15.-(UP).-True to his prom
Use just to "loaf along" in the
mildest sort Of trial spin, Sir
Malcolm Campbell, Britain's
knight Of speed, drove his Blue
bird racing car over the sands of
Daytona Beach yesterday at
212.63 miles an hour.
Running Bluebird under her
own power for the first time
since the giant car was assem-
bled, and not knowing what she
would do or how we'll she would
stand up, Campbell was clicked
at that speed for two kilometers
and for five miles at 1922.
The timing traps failed to catch
him in the measured mile and
one kilometer course.
The British daredevil said his
tachometer showed him to be
travelling at approximately 24O
miles an hour as he entered the
measured mile.
"You see," he said when he
returned to the timing tower
after the run south 81 eased off
the gas shortly after l entered
the mile. For after all, l wasn't
shooting for any record. All |
wanted to do was to loaf along
and test my clutch"
Asked if his clutch performed
satisfactorily, Campbell sal d
eyes, but some parts of the car
need little adjusting. Nothing
important, mind you, but just a
few things which will make fol-
higher speed when l chance to
open the car up"
Sir Malcolm's speed on his
one run south was considered re-
markable in the view of the fact
that he used but three miles in
which to gain speed, and the
beach over which he raced was
anything but perfect. Moreover,
he was forced to buck a stiff
wind that whipped the vari-col-
ored flags that marked the
course. Veterans of the racing
game were open in their opinion
that CampbelPs worlds record
of $3.50 miles an hour will be al
his mercy once he has the chance
to give the 5000 horsepower
Bluebird the gun.
When this will be is not
known, for Campbell said after
his run that the beach was "less
than fair"
at was like driving through
a giant saucer, because of the
many depressions in the sand
And it was very, very heavy

INVESTIGATION
into QUARRY.
IS Held.
No One Blamed for Acct
dent With Loss of
Seven Lives
SEEPING WATER WAS
ACCIDENTS CAUSE

A coroner'S jury sitting at the
office of the Blue Ridge Lime
company at Fletcher this after
noon decided that the slide that
took seven lives in the quarry
there last Wednesday was caused
by the added weight of water
seeping behind the rock; that the
overhanging rock could have and
should have been removed by dy-
Mantle or braced. but that failure
so to do did not render any Of
the officials of the company GRIM
inally liable.
The jury heard testimony from
witnesses as follows: E. c. Brac-
kett, employee of the company
since 1910; Alb Mills. colored,
who escaped the slide; George
Cox. quarry foreman; J. Frady,
employee of the company for sew
en- years: Henry Hair, former en-
ploye: Gloss Hooper, negro, en-
ploye of the company for about
eight years; Hass Fletcher. negro,
who did dynamiting for the COM
pany; Elmer Graham, colored, EN-
ploye for about Is years; Frank
West, employee for about l3 years :;
w. T. Gibson. superintendent. and
Wav Kinsland. general manager.
Mr.. Gibson expressed the opin-
ion that the slide was caused by
the added weight of water seep-
ing into a dirt pocket behind the
rock. and Mr.. Kinsland and Mr..
Cox advanced substantially this
theory.
Testimony was largely to the
effect that there were two slides,
one a slab of rock falling near
the working men, and a second
almost immediately following,
which imprisoned the men. Tcs-
timony in regard to dynamiting
was that there had been no large
shots set off in some time, and
that the only recent shooting
was on Monday. when a small
charge of about five sticks was set
off for the purpose of breaking
boulders on the floor Of the
quarry.
The last slide. according to tes-
timony, occurred several years
ago when a rock was shot and
the slide followed shortly after
ward, before any men were al
lowed to enter the quarry.
Testimony regarding inspec-
tions was largely to the effect that
there had never been any state
inspection Of the quarry, but that
Mr.. Hammond. insurance mspec-
tor, had inspected the quarry and
overhanging rock on Wednesday,
a week before the slide occurred.
Members of the jury We're: W.
S. Riddle l.. Mathews, l.. Melton,
E. Presley, C. Laughter, and C.
Barham.
Solicitor J. Will Pless, Jr., Of
Marion, represented the State,
and Judge Thomas L. Johnston,
of Asheville. represented recelV-
ers for the company.

LOBBYISTS IN

Some Powerful Forces al

Ghc rimcg-Ncws Bureau
I,i. Walls IIp.,,l

Sir Walter Hotel
RALEIGH, Feb. 15.-While 105
lobbyists have registered in the
secretary of states office thus far
under the provisions of the Ewing
lobby regulating bill passed early
in the 1888 legislative session,
some of the most conspicuous and
active lobbyists have not yet put
their names down in "the book, "
an examination of the register by
this bureau revealed today.
Noticeable by their absence
were the names of several repre-
sentatives of women's and wei
fare organizations who have been
carrying on powerful lobby
against the Bailey divorce bill,
changing the grounds for divorce
from five to two years, and the
house bill repeating the present
requirement Of a medical exam
ination before the issuance of a
marriage license.
1t would appear that these
women feel that because they are
women and because they are
working for a cause which they
believe is for the public's welfare
that they are exempt from the
provisions of the Ewing anti-lob-
bying bill. and the fact that they
take this attitude has caused no
little comment about the so-called
liberals of the legislature who
would like to see North Carolina's
