NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-(P)-Dr
Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia university, today de-
scribed as "fatuous folly" and "pro-
found immortality" the theory of
national isolation.
"There are and can be no Rob-

world" DIR. Butler said in his an
nual report to the trustees of the
university. 1.-THE electric spark and
it's manifold applications have de-
stroyed those limitations of time
and space which were at one time
so obvious and so influential.
mot only is an important hap
pening in any nation known the
world around in a few minutes,
but the comfort, the satisfaction,

life of any people are dependent
upon it's membership in a society

The story of the persons in the
party differed greatly from that
told by Carroll. All the men were
quoted as saying that Heath and
Myers went to Sam Owens to see
him about leasing his farm and
that they stayed at Owens home
until about 11:20 pm, and decided
to ride owe to Lake Waccamaw
to get some drinks and sandwiches.
ION returning to Council we were
driving along about 10 or II miles
per hour with the drivers window
down and Mr.. Myers was pranking
with his spotlight, just showing the

light with it and the game wardens

On the right and n on the left"
the men told police here.
MIR. Carroll, a warden, was on
the left and shot Mr.. Douglas Buie
who was driving the car"
All members of the party said
that they did not see the officers
or hear them until they had
jumped on the side of the car and
shot about the s me time. They
said that they heard nothing about
being under arrest until the officer
had shot Buie, police said.
Carroll, they said, denied that
he shot Buie at first and said that
he was not going to bring him to
the hospital but later decided to
come along to the hospital with
them.
Sam Owens stated to officers
here that Holton made a statement
that Carroll did shoot the man and
stated how sorry he was about the
affair and offered to give all the
assistance he could. Owens said
that the reason he had the rifle
in the a was that he had Dor.
rowed it from Myers and that they
both do a lot Of target shooting.
He said that he had given the rifle
back to Myers a short while before
the shooting.
Police said that the rifle showed
no signs of being shot for several
days and was lying in the foot OF
the car in the rear seat.
Sheriff H. M. Clark, of Bladen
county, said last night that war.
rants had been sworn out for Buje
Myers, Owens and Heath charging
them with attempting to take
game at night with a spotlight.
The warrants had not been served
last night, but the sheriff said that
he was holding them.
"A warrant charging Carroll with
assault with a deadly weapon was
sworn out yesterday afternoon.
Sheriff Clark said that Carroll tolc
him that he would post bond wher
the warrant is served and woulc
also waive a preliminary hearing
However, a hearing in the cases
of the other four has been set fol
