Congressman Robert L. Dough
ton of the Ninth district, conferred

the provisions OF n HOLO act,
leaving 1916, applications to rur
the gauntlet of the various ap-
praisals and final approval by the
legal department.
By November IS, however, only
1901 applications had reached the
legal division in the state; wherea.
1924 loans had been closed, with
the total lent in the state to
tressed home owners being.
I325,o46, the average Loan 8
1851.
The result of this situation, &C
cording to HOLC officials, is that
North Carolina organization now
has on hand 2,344 applications that
can still be considered under the
recent ruling, barring applications
that had not reached the legal di-
vision by November IS.
That 5,695 applications from
distressed home me are in the
hopper and cannot be considered
further means that their status re-
mains unchanged unless the next
congress appropriates more money
to finance the HOLC, because it
has been calculated that the time is
fast approaching when the govern
ment must begin to realize ma
terially on loans already made, and
that the residue of the money ap-
propriated will easily be absorbed
by pending applications.
1t was stated at the office of
Chairman Fahey that within a few
days a form letter would be Sent to
each home owner applicant whose
application has been suspended I'M
der the recent decision of the corp
Grafton, pointing out that funds
will be exhausted before his applica-
ton would possibly be handled, and
suggesting that he promptly confer
with the holder of. his original
mortgage, to whom a letter will be
sent by the corporation, with a
view to mutual effort in working
out their common problem Of the
Indebtedness.
Already the officers of the Wash
organization are deluged
with letters from North Carolina,
many from members of congress,
urging that attention be given to
applications upon which appraisals
been made but which have
not yet reached the legal division,
but to no avail. The corporations
action is to stand, with the hope
that the Federal Home Loan bank
at Winston-Salem may have a loan
placement division established to
aid in relieving the situation, with
the remainder to be done by saw
ings banks, building and loan as
soc%iations, insurance companies,
and other home-financing institu-
lions, with a view to satisfactory
OF refnancing of loans
for which the Hole is now being
asked, but which are barred by the
recent order.
In South Carolina, where the
HOLC got off to a better start than
in North Carolina, only 642 home
owners are left in the lurch by the
new order, because, of the S,702
applications were received, 2,457
were eliminated by withdrawal or
not being within the law. Of. the
remaining e,245 to be considered
5000 have reached the legal d.
vision.

PENN FOOTBALL
 TALENT IS BACK

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24.-Uni- versity of PennsyNania's football coach, Harvey Harman, and his aids have taken inventory of the playing stock that will remain for the 1885 season.
 Only four players who have been either regulars or first string sub stitutes will be lost by graduation. Three others who have played jun for varsity football the past three years, and who were elevated to the varsity during mid-season, also will receive their sheepskins in June.
 Thus thirty-three members of the present squad of forty players will be available for duty next fall. Most of the holdovers are members of the sophomore class and thus will have two more seasons of football.

cieties by Maj. Sen. Amos A.
Fries, retired, president Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia Chapter, Sons
of the American Revolution. The
coalition will hold a one-day ses-
sion January 81 at the Carlton
Hotel.
The coalition is the largest in
the United States and represents
between 100000 and 100000
persons. It is composed of SO Of
the leading patriotic and fraternal
organizations, which, by means of
the coalition, find a common
ground for furGhering the cause
c: nationalism, especially national
defense. The principal aim of the
group is to keep the immigration
laws intact. 1t has been in exist
ence for the last five or six years.

be broadcast over, nationwide
hook-up, and several persons prom
inent in national affairs will

BUST.
CAUSES SUIT,
ARREST
Layton Held on Fraud Charge;
Squier Demands Return of
Files and Money

Following close on the heels Of
the arrest of Alfred M. Layton
in the "Pershing bust" scandal,
suit for return of all money, cor
reSpondence and other documents
was filed against Layton in Civil
Court today by Gen. George O.
Squier.
Layton was arrested last night,
charged with using the mails to
defraud, in connection with a
campaign to raise funds to pur-
chase a bust of General Pershing
and present it to the Government.
$4,000 Bond
He is held at No. Police
precinct in default of $4,000
bond set by the District Attorney.
Police said that he admitted col
lecting $1,000 in the campaign,
but insisted that he could &C
count for the money.
The suit filed by General
Squier, who resides at the Metro
poltah Club, was for, a writ of
replevin demanding return of
account books, letterheads, cores
pondence, signed subscription
blanks and a mailing list.
Damage in lieu of this is set
at $4,000 by the suit, which
charges misuse of the documents.
Bust Exhibited
General Squler started the
campaign to purchase the bust,
which is now on exhibition in
the National Gallery of Art.
Leaving for Chicago last year
to attend the Century of Progress,
he turned management of the
campaign over to Layton, who is
alleged to have taken the money,
and made no proper accounting.
Layton is scheduled for hear
ing on the charge before United
States Commissioner Needham C.
Turnage late this afternoon.

A Nice Error

He was not the first Amer.
ican to be translated into
French; James Fenimore Cooper,
] am pretty sure, preceded him.
Incidentally, in one of these
translations a Frenchman wrote
that Leatherstocking tied his
horse to a grasshopper-the
word was locust in the original
and added a footnote that
grasshoppers grow to enormous
size in America.
d However, Poe is accepted
abroad as one of our few con-
tributions to world literature,
and the other cities which
made life difficult for the liv-
ing Poe will probably quarrel
with Philadelphia'S attempt to
honor Poe dead. AS for the
general principle of assoc;ating
q place with a person I can
only offer the following eli
max of a four-page pamphlet
describing a moving picture:
"Gorgeously photographed in
natural colors which present
the beauties of Sweden at their
best-with folk music and a
most interesting narrative IN
English, this feature length
film brings to you the pleasures
and environments of the people
and the land which GARBO
calls home"

A Good Time

I have also received informa-
ton about the Buffers Ball
from one who was present. AS
follows:
"Seen something. about the
Buffers Ball. tOday's article of
yours. Well. was that some
Ball! Ell! what? OH. Boy!
OH, BOY! "Just imagine, three
rows deep, of beautiful women,
in the latest evening gowns,
around the Commodore ball
room. All waiting for someone
to take them in their arms.
Were they beautiful? Were
they Charming? Were they
well behaved? Did you hear
anyone asking the other. "WhO
do you work fOr?" You GER
tainly did not. You may Of
heard, do you live uptown or
downtown? Or, "are you driv-
ing home, or going by taxie."
And were the mon Swell?
Everyone had full dress, or
Tuxedo, and could they dance!
Did they know how to carry
themselves, and how to carry
their liquor? There was no
false alarm, about this ball.
Everybody was natural."

KEEP CNA GOING
PUBL|C'S PLEA

Aroused by the proposal to
slash Federal relief rolls, the ma
tion at large has voiced it's pro-
tests and demands on Congress
for more millions Of dollars to
continue the civil works pro-
gram.
Not only has Harry L. Hop
kins, Federal Emergency Relief
Administrator, been swamped by
protests, but members of both
the House and Senate reported
their desks piled high today with
demands from "the people back
home"
The protests, they reported, are
coming from persons in all walks
of life, including State, city and
county officials.
In the meantime, Administra-
tor Hopkins declared again that
the cut in hours would be tenn
porary if Congress passes the
$1,166,00O,O0O emergency appro-
priation fund which President
Roosevelt is expected to ask
within a few days.
