Downhearted? Roosevelt Shows No Sign of 1t
BY HOWARD VINCENT oBRIEN.

This story seems to me the hottest
kind of news. When I saw F. D. r. six

of what Miss Perkins calls treating us
to a little civilization" He was smiling
then. and l have wondered recently if

pocket, and wearing a green tie which
harmonized with the green armchair in
which he sat, the President took Gig
arctic from crumpled paper packet,
put it in short ivory holder and
smiled with the same easy good humor
he displayed six months ago.
There wasn't a tremor in his voice,
even when he exploded the bombshell
that Henry Morgenthau, jr., was to run
the Treasury and that Dean Acheson
was out-a declaration which sent news
hawks f1uttering to the wires and stood
Wall Street on its ear.
Matters Termed Normal.
Discussing this and other matters,
Mr.. Roosevelt said they were proceeding
normally. BY a strictly enforced rule
of journalistic etiquette I am not free
to make direct quotation of the Presi-
dent, and that is a pity because his
natural and impulsive speech is such a
large and revealing part Of his charm.
So 1 can only say that although he
denied any knowledge of the future. he
was hopeful because of distinct progress
already made. In type this may sound
like platitude: on his lips it did not

ruddy color then might have been the

But there is the same quick humor in
the response, the same incandescent
smile. The eyes show WEAKNESS and
there are darkly wrinkled pouches un-

Plans for the arraignment of the
once socially prominent Mrs. Mary

today when Justice Peyton Gordon
said he would not permit her to be
carried into his court on Stretcher.
Critically Ill with heart disease, Mrs.
Purdy was brought to the Court House
from Gallinger Hospital in an ambu-
lance for the scheduled arraignment
this morning. She was carried into an
ante room by deputy marshals. but
when Justice Gordon learned of the
proposal to bring her into court on a
stretcher he directed that she be taken
back to the hospital Immediately.
Justice Gordon's ruling left prose-
cutting officials in a quandry as to
their next move.

United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
said a Government physician had re-
ported that Mrs. Purdy's condition was
critical and not likely to improve. He
expressed the opinion. however, that

to confer later with Justice Gordon
in an effort to hold an arraignment
next week.
Since Mrs. Purdy cannot be tried
until after an arraignment, she is
facing the prospect of spending the
rest of her life with an untried charge
hanging over her unless 'she is ar
raiored and cleared or the indictment
is quashed.
The woman was indicted with her

They are said to have told her that
a chest of gold coins was being held
for Mrs. Purdy in London and that
they needed money to have it shipped
to New York. Mrs. Kay advanced the
$4,000. according to the Government,
to meet the shipping expenses, ex-
pecting to be reimbursed when the
chest arrived.
The Purdys were arrested in Detroit
after a Nationwide search by Depart
ment of Justice agents. DR.. Purdy
was brought back to Washington short
ly after the arrest, but his wife was
confined to a hospital in Detroit and
authorities there would not permit her
to be moved at that time. Several
weeks ago, however, she was brought
here under a nurses care, the train
being met by an ambulance which
transported her to Gallinger Hospital.
She has been confined to her bed there
since Mr.. Rover said the woman'S
ailment is such that it is dangerous
for her to sit up, although she can
be moved safely while lying down.

of the banks were closed pending

them, the reports from automobile

Effective
Ticket For
Each Party
Watcbman Informed As To Ohn-
ions OF Rowan County Dele
cation
May Change Dates As To Primary
And General Municipal
gtf TIA Election

The primary and general NUM-
ciPal election in Salisbury to be
held this spring will be on a parti-
san basis whereby each party put.
out a ticket, according to informa-
ton obtained by The Watchman
last night.
1t is understood that all three
of the members of the general As
sembly representing Rowan county
in the state legislature-Senator
Hayden Clement, and Representa-
tives Walter Murphy and J. w.
Bean-favor the partisan form
and that any proposal to the con
trary would be adversely receiv-
ed. !
This information is unofficial but
it is believed to represent the sem
timent of the delegation from
Rowan to the General Assembly.
The bill passed in the 1881 Gen
eral A~ssembly-fective 1855
whereby each party puts out a
ticket, will rule the election this
spring, it is predicted. This bill
places the responsibility or the
credit to either party for whatever
may be accomplished by any ad-
ministration. This is the same
principle that is applied in county,
state o national elections.
The county commissioners, it is
stated, favor the partisan form of
government, believing that the
city of Salisbury which is we Is
per cent Democratic, should be
governed by a Democratic council.
The FIVE members of the present
city board are Democrats and with
the average Democratic majority,
1t is predicted the next five mem
bers of the city council, to be elect
ed this spring, will also be Demo-
Gratis.
The city council recently went
on record as favoring the non-par-
tisan form of city government but
many citizens have opposed this
decision in person and by letter to
members of the board, it is stated.
1t is pointed out that the county,
state or national elections, a r
handled on the partisan basis and
that municipal elections should not
be exceptions to the rule or Gus
tom.
Any candidate this spring who
announces himself a candidate for
the city council must declare his
party afiliation, according to the
law now in effect.
