ATU AGENTS SEEK
KEEPER FOR MULE
Raid On Fender County
Still Brings Complica-
tons Galore

Anybody want a mule and a two
wheel cart? Local Alcoholic Tax
agents confiscated them Sin the
line" of duty and not being horse
men, T on the lookout for some
body who'll keep them.
1t all came about when the
agents, Lon Howe, George F. Step
toe, and Ernest Plate dynamited
a whisky still in Fender county
earlier this week, arrested four
pickett brothers, and took over
the wagon and mule used to cart
the whisky.
The mule is 6-years-old and ap-
proximately Is and one half hands
high; and the cart and harness
will go with him to ''anybody
who'll keep them for three of four
months until disposal is made"
The agents took over the mule
on Tuesday, but it so happened
that the %long-eared animal could
run faster than they, so they left
him in Rocky Point. Despite sug-
gestions from Steptoe as to the
most effective way of stopping a
running mule-he didn't stop. Step
toes suggestion was that you
should tickle the back of his ears,
and as the animal has a one-track
mind he'll think about that instead
of his running. He says that is no
joke-it really works. But evident
ly, they didn't get close eonugh
to his care, for the mule is still
in Rocky Point.
Yesterday morning the agents
got the wagon and thought their
problems were solved-they'd ride
in the cart. But the efforts OF touf
men were not enough to ever get
the harness on the ''critter."
They insist he's a very nice mule
and anybody who'll keep him
may work him and ride the cart
as they please, until disposal is
made.
Inc case a g d n Clarence
Pickett, the first of the brothers
apprehended, was dismissed yes
terday morning following a hear
ing before U. S. Commissioner j..
Douglas Taylor, for lack of suf-
ficient evidence to hold. His three
brothers, JOKER, Thomas and
Clyde, have been released under
$500 bond for appearance at the
Spring term of Federal court.
Thomas and Clyde received hear
ing yesterday before Taylor, af-
ter submitting to Walter Hatch,
U. S. Marshall, for arrest.

Jury Service
Miss Buchanan also pointed Out
that North Carolina in 1916 ex-
tended jury service to women,
leaving only 16 states in which wo-
men are not eligible for jury
duty"
State Senator o. B. Moss, OF
Nash, however, introduced a bill
in the State legislature Feb. II to
call for a referendum on a pro
posal to make women ineligible
for jury service. Moss said he
didn't think the majority of wo-
men want jury service and that
making women eligible adds I'M
necessary expense to counties
which have to provide accommo-
dations for women jurors.

Women OfNorh Carolina
Are Eight FreerNow

WASHINGTON, Feb. q. IT,
North Carolina women are eight
laws freer now than they were in
1898.
A new report by the women's
bureau of the Department of labor
states, freeing women in this
country from the handicap of OBJ
solete laws is many steps closer
as a result Of legislative action
taken from 1888 through 1885,"
Miss Sara Louis Buchanan, a
lawyer, who compiled the legisla-
tive changes, says these are
achievements in a clear up
movement among the states to re-
move lingering discriminatory
laws which have escaped attention
in the broad reforms of the past
century,"
North Carolina, like Florida and
Pennsylvania, has abolished OBJ
stacles to married women's indi.
vidual freedom to exercise general
powers of contract.
Women in the state also were
freed from an old handicap when
that state abolished its free trader
law which required a married Wo-
man to obtain her husbands con-
sent and to observe prescribed
court procedure in order to Ell
gage in business on her own ac-
count" Miss Buchanan reported.
Law Changes
North Carolina changes in legal
status of women in the last eight
years were reported as follows:
1899: married women given
full powers as owner of shares in
Federal Savings and Loan associ-
ations."

AGAINST Hotel Closed

As charges of building code viola

608 Ninth street NV, were finally
disposed of yesterday in Municipal
Court, the hotel management an
nounced the last Of its tenants were
leaving to make way for conversion
of the structure into modern Office
building.
The Gilbert Hotel case, which
opened in July, 1916, with a guilty
plea to charges that fireproohng
was inadequate, ended yesterday on
it's 17th court appearance with the
release of Herman G. Haslund, man
ager, on his personal bond.
Judge Ellen K. Raedy, in an
nouncing her decision, commended
the building inspectors Office for
his "leniency and patience" in
handling the investigation. Last
March Judge Raedy urged the
building be condemned if there were
further delay in compliance with
regulations. Inspector Charles
O'Connell reported the fireproof1ng
of elevator shafts and doors now is
satisfactory.
At the same time, Mrs. Louise
Noonan Miller, trustee of the
property, said the structure, orig
inally erected in 1879, would be re-
modelled "inside and out" into an
office building. Mrs. Miller added,
however, the 10-foot bronze statue
of Victory" blowing her trumpet,
probably would remain atop the

POI0nd's Need For
Horsepower Acute

WARSAW -(P)-Poland has re-
ceiyed total of 114,193 horses
through the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration
to help peasants till their farms.
The semi-ofiicial newspaper RzecZ-
pospolita said Is per cent of these
had been sent to the recovered ter
ritOries" lands absorbed from
Eastern Germany by Poland.
Poland had more than 5000 900
horses before the war.
1t is planned to have more than
32 2.000,000 acres of land producing
foOdstuffs this spring and summer.
Agricultural experts estimate a
single horse should suffice to till
sixteen to eighteen acres of land
and therefore, to get the most out
OF farm acreage, Poland should
have ut least 1000 600 horses. There
presently are l,420,000 horses III
Poland, but only 100000 are EN-
Eloycd in agriculture.
