Calm Reigns
In Holy Land.

Jerusalem, Oct. Com
parative calm reigned over this Holy
Land city today after 80 months of
continuous Arab-Jewish turmoil and
bloodshed.
Without the loss of single British
life, British soldiers completed clean
up operations by reconquering the old
section.
This drive ended "a hours of steady
military efforts to eliminate nests Of
rebellious Arabs, who had held the
old city for four days, and was pre-
lude to the larger task of crushing
a revolt throughout Palestine. The
campaign caused nine Arab deaths
and injuries to Is others. Two British
constables and one soldier were
wounded. Forty Arabs were taken
prisoner.
Soldiers -members of the 10000
troops sent here to restore order
continued searching the old city for
rebels and their arms caches. Small
groups of Arab prisoners were dis
armed and sent to concentration
camp in an excavation on the site of
the 2,000-year-old palace of King
Herod. =.
For the first time since Saladin the
Great vanquished Crusaders nearly
800 years ago, Moslem priests failed
to call the faithful to prayer from the
pinnacles of slender minarets within
the shadow of the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre. The usual cry, allah
is great Allah is our only prophet"
was replaced by the prayers of Chris
tan monks.

The deaths of six members of q near

forest fires brought federal-county

Gilbert Mooney, 49,. of Ridgeway, a
clerical employe at the camp, and
four of the 20 boys he led into the
tinder-dry, desolate wilds of second
growth timber and scrub lands were
trapped late yesterday by a circle Of
flames and burned to death.
Ross Hollobaugh, 10, of Rimers-
burg, Pa, died of burns in hospital
today. The hospital said the condi-
ton of another CCC worker taken
there for treatment was serious, and
that of still another was fair.
District Attorney Edwin Tompkins
said his investigation was designed to
establish "the truth or falsity" of re-
ports he heard that the CCC boys had
been rushed into the flaming inferno
without proper supervision, and that
four fires had broken out within an
eight-mile area entered by the doorn-
ed men under what he termed most
unusual condolences"
CCC officials who launched their
own investigation, refusing to discuss
the situation officially, said Mooney
was in the technical service of the
department of forests and waters.

Raleigh, Oct. 20.-(AP)-Budget re-
quests for $55,233, 1896 for operation
of the public schools, including provl-
sion for five percent salary increase
for teachers, shot requests from State
departments for the 1891 biennium
to a. record high at $144, 1856, 700 today
This biennium the schools are get
ting $49,362, JOG, and general appro-
priations are $122.137, O94, including
highway money.
The Advisory Budget Commission
virtually concluded its oral hearings
when it took up the school requests,
which were presented in three forms
so as to show needs on the present
salary basis, needs with a five per-
cent pay raise, and needs with pay
put at the 1889 pre-depression Level.
The commission will start work to-
morrow on its report for the 1889 leg
islature
There was minor difference be-
tween estimates of the School Com
mission, which handles school money
and the Department of Public Instruc
ton, which is the professional end
The department estimates ran $1,000
up for 1sS9-4O, and $4,000 I'D fol-

Before hearing the school matters

IlaiIv Dfnpafch Bureau.

Raleigh, Oct. 2O.-Anti- diversionists,
particularly State Senator S. Gilmer
Sparger, their generalissimo, are
chuckling openly over many of the
statements and figures in the State
Highway and Public Works Commits
sions report to the Budget Bureau
on it's needs for the coming fiscal
biennium.
They see the report as almost a
"brief" against diversion of highway
funds-a brief without argument, IT
is true, but one of fact.
They point to several features as
props for their strongest arguments
against using highway revenues for
anything except highway needs.
Sticking out like a wart on pretty
girls nose, they say, is the crying
need of the State highway system for
every penny that can be spent on it.
The cite, for example: There has
been spent on construction of the
state highway system more than $685.
100000 and the amount we are re-
ouesting to maintain this system foI
each year of the biennium is less
than 2 per cent of this investment
How, they ask, can any highway
revenues be diverted to other pur-
poses in the face of this.
