SECOND ARREST
IN DYNAMITE
MYSTERY
CoIored Man, Once Convicted
OF Theft From Victim,
GriIIed by Police

LEONARDTOWN, Md, Jan 1S.
A second person is under arrest
here today, held for Investigation
in connection with the bombing
Of the automobile Of Miss Ida
Kirk, "a, who was fatally injured
in the explosion.
Police took into custody Paul
Thomas, colored, who was once
convicted Of stealing 500 from
Miss Kirk. The colored stump
dynamiter. John Gross, arrested
several days ago, also is still held.
Told BewiIdering Yarn
Thomas told the police q some
what bewildering yarn about q
shotgun shell in the home Of Q
neighbor, which he had seen
frequently, always In the same
place, he said, until about Christ
mas time, when 1t disappeared.
The authorities attach little I'M
portance to his story about the
shell, for q check-Up on the
neighbor referred to indicate that
no charges could be made against
him.
Thus far, investigators work
ing on the case have obtained
10 signed statements from per.
sons they have questioned. These,
it is felt, will prove Of consider
able value in reaching q solution
Of the mystery.
Detectives at Indian Head
The Baltimore detectives work.
ing on the case spent a large part
Of yesterday somewhere in the vi
cinity Of Indian Head, but what
they discovered. If anything. was
not revealed. :
It was learned today that q Spe-
cial session Of the orphans court
viii be held to probate the win Of
Miss Kirk, which, 1t is expected,
win dispose Of an estate worth
about $500, 900.
Apparently, however, the date
for this session has not been set.
Although detectives who have
seen the will have said that it
does not appear to offer any mo-
tive for Miss Kirk's Staying. its
provisions are the subject Of much
speculation locally, and the pub
lie is keenly concerned as to the
identity OF beneficiarieS.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
REASSURING

Two news items came out of Chapel Hill today
that seem to The Record to be especially reassur-
ing
First, it was pleasing to us to note that III.
Graham president of the University of North Car
DINA, is unmoved by alumni criticism, and con-
tinues adamant in his opposition to any move look
ing towards the substituting of athletics at the IN
stitution over which he has executive control. The
Record is of the opinion that President Graham
will have the solid support of all thinking men and
women of the state in his stand which some critics
are pleased to call sneeringy his lily white" atti-
tute towards athletics.
Just as deserving of popular commentator, The
Record believes, is second significant item OF
news from the university, to the effect that assur
ances have been given pledging there will be no
more such barbaric spectacles staged as the one
which occurred between the halves of the Carolina
Virginia Thanksgiving game when animals and
fowls were baited in revolving manner.
The Chapel Hill Weekly, which recently de-
nounced the so-caled entertainment feature of the
game, described the spectacle as follows:
Rabbits were let loose to be chased over the
playing field by a rabble of Negro boys. cat was
chased b. giant police dog. 'possum, with toy
balloon tied to its TAIL was another of the victims.
guinea. surrounded, took to its wings and, eX-
hausted. dropped into the crowd on the north
stand.
'The pursued animals were decked in white and
blue streamers, and it occurred to us-and, as we
learned later, to many other spectatOrs-that nevec
before had the university colors been subjected, &c
such an ndignity.'
Today the Athletic Council issued announce
ment that hereafter the director of athletics will
have complete charge of the stadium during the
time of the contests and will personally pass upon
any entertainment stunts that may be permitted
between the halves. The revolving animal show, it
is explained, was put on by student organization
which "dd not foresee the results of the entertain
ment" Evidently that is correct-but one would
assume that men old enough to be in college should
have reached the age of reason.
We are glad to note that evidently most of the
spectators saw nothing amusing, but on the con-
trary were disguised, by the performance. Except
for few scattered outlaws, it was observed in 81
lence.-Hickory Record.

CRACKING DOWN

The fact that North Carolina people voted over
whelmingy for prohibition more than month ago,
is gradually dawning on judges and law?enforce-
ment officers throughout the state dispatches
indicate.
From Marion comes the word that Sheriff Adj
kins, militant officer of Mcdowell county, has
served notice he intends to clear the highways
there of drunken and reckless drivers Already 25
persons have been arrested by the sheriff and he is
demanding that heavy fines be assessed and the
guilty parties denied the right to drive an automo-
bile AS this official asserts, the only way to break
up this menace is to break it up.
Over in Wnston-Saem at about the same time
Sheriff Adkins was issuing his declaration, Judge
T. W. Watson was sentencing a rum-runner to a
year and day on the chain gang, the theory
that since the federal courts no longer have jurs-
dcton of such it is up to the state courts to
make sure that confirmed violators of the liquor
laws are given the proper penalties.-The Hickory
Record.

MESSAGE TO GARCIA"

An article in the New York Evening Post informs
that the man who carried the famous Message to
Garcia" in the Spanish-American war is still liv-
ing. He is Col. Andrew Z. Rowan (retired), who
now resides in San Francisco.
The message episode, as thousands will recall
was made internationally famous by Ebert Hub
bard's article, Message to Garcia in which the
author described the courage and bravery of a
young army officer who carried message from
President Mckinley to General Garcia, Cuban in
surgent leader, nj 1898.
The nation rang with praises for Andrew r.
Rowan at the time. Rowan was promoted to the
rank of leutenant-colonel. But it was not until
"a years later that Congress voted to award him
the distinguished service cross.
The colonel is now living a quiet life on the top
of hill overlooking the Golden Gate. When the
author of the Posts article interviewed him re-

HOT TIMES AHEAD

Less than six months from date North Carolina
citizens will have nominated another set of candi-
dates for the legislature. The sky is full of signs
of rough political weather ahead. Two issues that
can't be kept out of the primary campaign are the
sales tax and the public schools. And here candi-
dates going to find it necessary to do some
very careful stepping, regardless of many declara-
tons that those who seek to go to Raleigh must
boldly declare where they stand and bind them
selves by solemn oaths to keep standing there re-
CARELESS.
There will also likely be demand that candi-
dates pledge themselves against any step that might
bring in revenue through legazing the liquor traf
fc. Chances are that most of said candidates will
be more vocal on this plan than anything else
| Now all that really acceptable candidate has
to do is to pledge in advance to abolish present
taxes. oppose new and favor more generous
treatment of the schools. If he gets the iob and
can't deliver he won't have to go to the Legislature
any more. And there might be a worse fate than
lthat-Lexington Dispatch
