NEGRO WITNESS IS
REQUIRED TO LIST
Johnson Made To Pay Back
Taxes Five Years And
Ten Dollar Fine

An echo Of the Vandyke kidnap and
assault trial was heard in recorder S
court today when Edwin D. johnson,
principal of the Negro graded schools
in this city was hailed before Recorder
r. E. Clements on charge of hav-
ing failed to list his taxes as far back
as the law permits action to reach,
which is five years. johnson was or
dered to list and pay his taxes for
that period Of time was fined $40 and
costs for failure to list and pay his
taxes for the period.
When Negroes were being called to
show they had not served on juries,
when Durham Negro attorneys were
trying to throw the case out because
no Negroes sat on the grand jury
that brought the bill of indictment,
Johnson was one Of the witnesses
summoned to substantiate their claim.
Before he got off the stand, however,
it had been brought out that he never
had listed taxes anywhere at any time
or any kind, poll or property. There
upon, Judge. r. Hunt Parker, who
was presiding, ordered Johnson's ad-
missions gone into. The warrant that
brought out the trial today was the
result. ... -~
Tom Rogers was discharged but
-Thad Whitley was fined $25 and costs
when the two were charged with
transporting liquor, Both are col
ored.-
Buddie Cheathtam, colored, was fin
ed 81 and costs for an affray.
Mark Hughes and Fred Foreman
were charged with stealing gallon
of nnolasses from Marion Jones, but
when the prosecuting witness came
in and asked for the warrant to be
withdra wn that was allowed and the
prose cutor taxed with the costs.

A law enacted by the 1888 Gen
eral Assembly forbidding the use of

dairy or any one else for CONNER
cial purposes was involved, in a case
heard in police court here; today be-
fore Mayor Irvine b. Watkins.
J. T. Nelson, owner of the Brook
side Dairy, charged Vance Fleming,
another dairy owner, with using
Brookside bottles. and testimony Of
fered was that three such bottles had

Sill, ,659.69 Paid for S43, 700
Pounds Handled During
First Week of
New Season
VERY DRY WEATHER
DELAYS STRIPPING
All Desirable Grades Gig
arctic and Smoking Tobac-
COS Selling Well, and Few
Tags Turned During The
Week; Heavier Sales Look-
ed for in Coming Week

DELAYED three weeks on account of
the tobacco marketing holiday in
Worth Carolina the Henderson mar
let got away to its seasonal start last
Tuesday. and for the four days of the
first week had total sales of 843,700
POUNDS, which brought Sill $500, at
IN average of S13.24 per hundred. ac-
oording to official announcement to-
day by r. w Mcfarland, sales su-
Tervisor.
This was better in both price and
volume than the first week last year.
when 212, 314 pounds were sold for
s26,80946 for an average of $1262.
Due to the extremely dry weather
in this section, which has prevented
the farmers from stripping their to-
lacco. sales have been light during
the week on ell Middle Belt markets,
according to Mr.. Mcfarland. Con-
gestion from blocked sales in markets
Of the belt opening day was cleared
Tuesday.
F'crty percent of the offerings here
during the week were tips. according
to the supervisor, and about fifty per-
cent were primngs. This great per-
centage of inferior grades naturally
pulled the average down, so that the
weeks price for the four days was
c1ly S13.14. But few. if any. tags were
turned en- this market during the week
according to the supervisor, who said
al desirable grades of cigarette and
smoking tobacco are selling very
good.
The point was made by the super
v:sor that this market, being in the
Middle Belt, probably has more diff
fc-ent types of tobacco sold than on
any market in the Georgia belt, the
South Carolina belt. the Eastern North
Carolina belt or the Old Belt.
Heavier sales are looked for the
coming week. the supervisCE said.
This is considered particularly true
in view OF the parity price agreement

Special Term OF Court
For, Civil Cases Asked
Bar Asks for 1t Week of November to Clear Up Nc
Coin Cases and Other AT fairs; Little Done at Cur
rent Session Due to Long Criminal Session

A special term of Vance Superior
Court to be held the week of Novem-
Der 6 for trial Of civil matters only
has been asked of Governor JJ. c. B.
Ehringhaus by the Henderson Bar As
sociation. The principal matter of
business TO be transacted will be the
disposition of actions growing out of
the receivership of the. Henderson
Loan and Real Estate Company, r.
S. McColn, president. and commit
ments of r. S. McCoin personally, all
being the results of McCoin's mys-
terious disappearance last December
2i.
The resolution asked that Judge r.
Hunt Pauker be assigned to, hold the
special term, and that another judge
take his place in Northampton county,
where he would be engaged that week.
Request vast made for Judge Parker

manner in which he has kept prod
ding the government, including the
kilograms he directed to President
Roosevelt.
While Governor Ehrunghaus was
primarily interested in the welfare
of the farmer; and in securing for
them fair price for their tobacco,
there is no doubt the Democratic
party was being tried in the fire as
1t has not been tried before. For If
Governor Ehringhaus had failed tc
get the government in Washington
to do anything about tobacco prices,
1T would have been just too bad for
the Democratic party to have gotten
many votes out of amy of the tobac
CO counties, despite the fact that the
eastern counties are supposed to be
solidly Democratic. This was exact
told President Roosevelt, in ONE of
This kilograms, that these tobacco far
mers had been among his strongest
supporters and that they were now
expecting the government to do some
thing definite. If the governUn emit
had not come through this time with
"a price agreement, as it now has, it
would have been just too bad for the
Democratic party in Eastern North
'Carolina for g. long time to come,
bea.eve 1T or not. OF course, neither
the governor nor any of the Demo-
tnp so. But there is no doubling
cratic leaders will be quoted as say
the fact they believed this a good
many weeks ago and believe it now
There are indications also that
some of the tobacco companies fin
ally walked up to this fact, principa
ly those located in this, and ne'ghbor-
ing states and that this is one rea-
son they took the lead in getting all
the tobacco companies to reach an
agreement and sign it. The south
Elm companies knew it would be juSt
too bad for them if the Republicans
Should come into power in these to-
bacco states and reaiized that un-
friendly legislatures might make their
present tax loads look mild in COM
parison with what they might put on
The declaration made last week by
Governor Ehringhaus to the effAoN
that the tobacco companies were in
danger of selling the good will OF
the tobacco farmers for a mess o
pottage is also believed to have had
some effect and brought about a
change of front and heart.
AS things now are, Governor En-
ringhaus is stronger in Eastern North
arolina-where most of his opposi-
ton came from when he was seek
| ing the nomination for governor
than he has ever been, with most OF
! these who fought him bitterly for
governor now his strongest boosters
while the domestic tobacco cornpan-
les now have an opportunity to re-
gain the good will and confidence OF
the growers by the attitude they
| have shown.

the district and is already very fa-
fniliar with the litigation by reason of
orders he has issued in the matter
before. 1t was felt that the ,,entire
matter could be expedited by reason
of that fact if Judge Parker is as
signed for the trial.
The Vance Board of County Com
missioners will have to ask the gov
ernor for the special term, but that
is believed to be a mere formality, and
the board is. expected to give its con-
sent readily. A jury will have to be
called to officiate in the session.
The McCoin cases would not take
up the entire week, it is thought, but
there is a considerable accumulation
of civil business on the docket, ana
scarcely any of it was so much as
touched this term, other than eleven
divorces granted, due to the length
Of the Vandyke trial.

making an invent 1gsEAon of. some
plants that have been received to de-
ternine whether or not some of these
contractors are really trying to chisel
OUT from under the Federal law, re-
quiring them to get their labor locally
through the Reemployment Service,
rather than bring it from other To-
calities.
One report is that certain con-
tractor from another State, holding a
road construction contract, is offer
ing only the minimum wage of 40
cents an hour for 80 hours a week for
skilled lahOrers despite the fact that
other contractors are paying some of
their Skilled workers from 80 cents to
81 an hour. AS result, this contrac-
tor is not being able to get all the
skilled labor locally at ony 40 cents
an hour 1t is believed that what he
hopes to do is to import his own skill
ed workers from a neighboring State,
on the grounds that he could not get
the skilled labor he needed here thro-
ugh the Unemployment Service at the
prices he offered
i
labor he needs through the county re-
employment office we can get it for
him from other counties" Waynick
said. "But if he is trying to freeze out
| local labor by paying only the mini
mum wage and then bring in outside
labor and pay them a much higher
wage than he at first offered here
he is not going to be able to get away
with it. If this contractor will offer
wages in line with what other con-
tractors are now paying for similar
work he can get all the skilled la
borers aid then some. But naturally
| skilled men who have been earning
from IS cents to 81 an hour are not
| ging to take jobs at 40 cents an hour"
Waynick indicated thorough inves
tigation will be made into the matter.

(Unlteu Press StaM O0Ere1pOuueutJ
 New York, May 12.-(UP)-- The secret of of the murder of Edward Albert Ridley and two sec- retaries lies in the answers to two questions, it became apparent to- day:
 Why did the slayer of Herman Moench, the first secretary, wait two years before returning to the subterranean real estate office of the millionaire octogenarian Ridley to kill Ridley himself and the sec- ond secretary, Lee Weinstein?
 Why did Ridley, a miser who de- clined to help Moench's family been in the Ridley family employ to Weinstein, Moench's successor, who had no such background of service?
 But both questions remained wholly unanswered after day and two nights of examination of every likely witness.
 Seven bullets pumped into the body of Weinstein in the Allen street office in which he and Rid- ley were slain were fired from the same pistol used to kill Moench in the same office two years ago, ball. listic experts discovered from markings on the lead slugs. But if the murderer of Moench sought from the first to kill Ridley and Weinstein, he could have done so as easily at any other time in the two years as on Wednesday morning. The office never was guarded. The routine never varied. Police established that nothing in the actions of Ridley or Weinstein Wednesday made 1t any easier for the murderer to kill them then, that 1t would have been on any other day.
 This factor tended to reduce the probability of the first police the ory, that all three murders were committed by crazed tenant of the extensive Ridley properties, in- dignant over some real or, fancied wrong connected with his tenancy.
 The second question left Ridley's surviving relatives as puzzled as police, 1t appeared. No other ben- eficiary was willed directly more than $50,000 of the estate, estimat-
