Long Appeal Made.
DEFENSE OFFERED

Charges of irregular and fraud
ulent voting in Ashe and Graham
counties were aired before the
state board of election in Raleigh
yesterday, as the state board con-
cluded its probe Of alleged cleo
ton violations in five North Car

Heated presentations of COM

kee, Clay and Tyrrell counties
were heard Tuesday and so far
as could be learned here late
yesterday afternoon, the board
will not announce it's decisions
on the protests before Friday.
In the four other complaints,
as well as the one from Ashe, alb
sentee voting held the spotlight
in the charges made. Some of
the attorneys also asserted that
votes were openly purchased
and that drunkenness, violence
and gunfre on election day ter
rified poll holders in some pre-
cincts, preventing a true count
of returns.
Grant Bauguess filed the petit
ton, together with a long list of
reasons as to why the Ashe Re-
publican candidates were asking
for an investigation and recount
of ballots, with the state board of
elections Monday.
Tuesday Mr.. Bauguess and Fred
Cook, candidate for county COM
missioner, returned to Raleigh
for the hearing.

peared for the Democrats and in
the Democratic delegation from
the county were Coleman Payne,
Bruce Dent, Supt. J. B. Hash,
party chairman, Sheriff Ed Mill
er and l.. P. Coward. .,-------, :
No details of the hearing were
available in time for publication
last night.
Accompanying the long Ashe
petition, alleging numerous cleo
ton law violations which were
reviewed in this paper last week,
was six-page appeal explana-
ton, setting forth 10 reasons as
to why the appeal was being
made to the state election board.
At the end of it, three requests
were made:
First, that the state board of
election request and advise the
county board of elections of Ashe
county to have a recount and dis
allow all illegal votes cast in the
general election OR that,
Second, Your Honorable
Board make a thorough investi-
cation and recount as to the bal
lots cast in the said general cleo
ton in Ashe county, or that,
Third, that your Honorable
Board enter such further orders
as may be necessary to ascertain
the legal and correct results Of
said election in Ashe county to
the end that the candidates re-
ceiving the highest number of
legal bellots shall be declared
elected"
The appeal YVES sworn to by
by Fred Cook and an affidavit
from Nellie Yates, of jefferson,
was attracted. In it she said that
she had net registered or voted
by absentee, but understood such
vote was cast for her and count

S.Glass Eyes
Finding aLarge
,, Market abroad
False Teeth Demand
Hits $4,000, 900
Per Year.
the Associated Press,

~'S sAAS noOoSAStcU EIeoSs
American business men have put
some well-polished teeth into the law
Of supply and demand.
The supply Of teeth-false ones
comes from domestic dental factories
and the demand for some so, 900 900 q
year comes from all over the world.
Commerce Department officials, who
can recite q long list Of oddities that
move in international trade channels,
said today another American anatom-
ical substitute-glass eyes-also lind
a large market abroad.
Teeth and eyes cross paths with
such imports as dragons blood and
Jobs tears.
Dragons blood is nothing more ON
inous than red gum from the Far
East used by varnish makers. Jobs
tears are seeds from the PHILIPPINES.
The sad thing about them is that
they cost as much as $40 q drop after
they are made into such items as
necklaces.
The country buys dried fiies from
Mexico for use in paint and poultry
food and walrus whiskers from ST.
IBERIA for toothpicks.
1t sells weasels' tails to China for
conversion into fine brushes.
Commerce officials sometimes have
to puzzle over foreign customs classi-
flcations Of such products.
One country groups false teeth with
field glasses. another with trunks and
bags.
And then there was the ruling by
one custom house that a nicely pre-
served mummy belonged in the same
category with dried Goldfish.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July l3.-Gov

ton Of his administration, asserted
today Judge Paul N. Schaeffer OF
Berks County, in charge of the pro-
ceedings, has acted in q most dis
graceful manner"
The Governor said in a statement
that Judge Schaeffers entire conduct
has been characterized by vacillation,
weakness. fear Of criticism of the press
and complete domination Of his tao
tics by the Republican judges OF
Dauphin County CHarrisburg)
Gov. Earles attack upon the jurist
followed an earlier blast at the Penn
sylvania Supreme Court, which he
termed Republican and partisan to
the last degree"
Asked to Be Relieved,
Judge Schaeffer was named by the
Supreme Court to take over the case
after the Dauphin County judges, to
whom the original request for a grand
Jury probe was made, asked to be re-
'lieved Of the responsibility. Their
request followed a radio speech in
which Gov. Earle said they were
politically minded"
A Dauphin County grand jury COM
posed of IS Republican and II Demo-
Gratis has been summoned to begin
August 8 an investigation of the
charges against Gov. Earle and 13
OF his associates.
The charges, listed by Judge
Schaefter in his order for the investi-
CATION. include conspiracy to cheat
and defraud the commonwealth. to
extort money and levy blackmail and
10 engage in corrupt solicitation"
The Governor discussed with party
chieftains and key legislators yester-
day the possibility of calling a special
session Of the Legislature to take over
the inquiry. He said no decision was
reached, adding: I'VE decided to sleep
on it,
Asked on Use of Troops.
Asked if he would consider calling
out the National Guard to prevent
the investigation, Gov. Earle declared:
Il said there would be no political
persecution during my term as Gov
ernor." He added: There can be no
grand jury investigation of the Su.
preme Court. 1t would prevent it BY
judicial means. There could be none
OF the Legislature; they would i'm
peach the judge who attempted it.
Shall I permit an investigation of
this branch?"
The case reached the Supreme
Court when Gov. Earle asked the
tribunal to prohibit the probe.
The Governor said he did not mean
to include Justice Barnes in my re-
marks about the Republican court, q"
H. Egard Barnes is the only Demo-
cratic member of the court.

Earle's accusation. Asked by telephone
