PUBLIC FIGHTS
NIGHT RIDER
INQUIRY
Mass Meeting Scores
Newspaper Lies,
Backs Plugging
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT
W.T. N6rNcTNN NJ = ,Tl11v

WILMINGTON, N. c., July 4
G.N.SO.-North Cardinals back.
woods country today apparently
had won out against organized law
with the dge-old decree Olive de-
Gently, or get out.
For, to all effects and purposes,
the scheduled investigation Of re-
cent midnight floggings by white
hooded night-riders in the Beaver
Dam section of Columbus county
has come to an end.
The midnight marauders went
to two Cupboard huts, dragged
six persons outside, and whipped
them with a five-foot section of a
sawmill belt. They told the VIC
tins that they were "undeSir-
ables," out not in those terms.
And they told them to get out.
Probe Makes No Headway
AS a result of the floggings,
public sentiment here was whip
ped to a froth, at first, but
quickly quoted down. Solicitor
John J. Burney said he is still
working on the case, but his in.
quiry has made no progress for
a week.
Apparently, the final touch to
the whole incident was applied
when the farmers of Clarendon, in
Columbus county where the flog-
gingS occurred, held an indigna-
ton meeting that lasted until
midnight. Their community min
lister, the Rev. George M. Hunt.
headed the little gathering, and
the sum and substance Of the
three-hour discussion was them
lies in the newspapers.
Frankly, say the farmers of
Columbus county, the victims of
the whippings got what they
deserved, were lucky not to get
more than they did, and if they
don't quiet down, will get more.
So today, this southeastern cor
ner of North Carolina forgot
about the whippings and cele-
brated the Fourth of July.
AS for the victims, they still
grumbled, but their grumbling fell
on deaf ears.
Report Mails Used
Postal inspectors here recently
reported to Washington that the
midnight riders warned their vic.
Tins through the mails, but
seemed to doubt that anything
would come of this. j. M. RiSley,
postal inspector here, sent in his
report of the incident several days
ago, and this morning said he had
heard nothing.
At any rate, nothing could be
done before August "a, when the
new grand jury for the fall term
is appointed. BY that time, in all
probability, the whole incident
will be forgotten.

Rejects His Plans,
To Present Own

GENEVA, July 4 QN.SO Halle
Selassie attempt to force a roll
call vote on the League Of Ma
tons abandonment of Ethiopia
was buried today under a tangle
of procedure.
The assembly steering commit
tee pigeon-holed his proposed reSo-
luton against recognizing 1taly's
conquest, with the argument that
the committee had a similar reSo-
luton of its own. His plea for a
$5O,O00,0 900 loan was Sidetracked
on the ground that the League al
ready had refused to grant finan-
cial aid to Ethiopia.
The committee will report to the
assembly today and its resolutions
will be adopted, but the session OF
the sanctions coordinating com
mittee to end anti-Italian coercion
probably will be deferred to Mon
day.
Stefan Lux, Cze.c hoSlovakian
newspaper photographer who shot
himself yesterday during the as.
sembly meeting in protest against
the Leagues inaction on Ethio,
pia and the Jewish problem in
Germany, died last night.
The steering committees reSo-
luton reaffirms the principle
stated by Henry L. Stimson, Amer
lean Secretary of State at the
time Japan conquered Manchu-
kuo, against recognition of war
won territories.
It also advocates reform of the
league along lines set forth by
won Delbos, French foreign min
lister, including a clause for i'm
meditae automatic application Of
sanctions AGAINST an AGGRESSION.
