Greensboro College for Women loses its defense against the Guil-ford Lumber Manufacturing Com-pany and others who sought to pre-vent the college from fixing a $4r- S00 liability which the college has paid, on the surety of the contrac-tor who built a dormitory. The court reveres the judgment below for two strong reasons, holding that the contract was religiously carried out by the lumber company and the fact that the college paid a differ-ence to a third party who did not turn it over, saddles no liability on Armfleld, the surety of Holladay, the contractor. "It cannot recover for its wrongful payment of the surety," the court says. John W. Moon, bigamist of Greensboro, likewise loss his appeal which was a plea in abatement up-on the ground that the bigamous marriage took place in Buncombe county where he had the right to be tried. The court holds against the con-tention that gibamous cohabitation does not itself furnish the offense. Indeed. Judge Hoke, speaking in an-other case wherein he is quoted to-day, declares he "does not see why the state should not declare that the coming into the state and the cohab-iting together by a party after a bigamous marriage in another state, a felony and pnishable as such."

REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR IS PRAISED BY PRESIDENT, Washington, Nov. 5.—President Wilson from his sick bed to-day tel-egraphed Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts, congratulating him on his re-election, which the President had said was a "victory for law and order." The telegram follows: "Hon. Calvin Coolidge. Boston. Mass. "I congratulate you upon your election as a victory for law and or-der. When that is the issue all Americans stand together. "WOODROW WILSON." White House attaches said this probably was the first time in his-tory that a President had congratu-lated a candidate of the opposite party on his election to office. Administration officers shared the President's view. They said Gover-nor Coolidge's sweeping victory should go far to encourage officials Washington. Nov. 3.—Official Washington was firm in the belief tonight that the end of the coal strike was near. There was nothing definite or tan-gible in the way of actual develop-ments to justify this hopeful View ot the situation, but everywhere feeling prevailed that influence* were being brought to bear to have the strikers, numbering more than 400.000, return to work. Confidential reports to the depart-ment of justice from its agents in the coal fields were said to show many defections from the ranks of the strikers. Some of the reports said that large numbers of idle min-ers had declared they wanted to re-turn to work, but were afraid. In this connection officials reite-rated that adequate protection would be given. There was no specific statement as to how this would be provided, but it was ex-plained that troops would be avail-able at the call of any governor who believed it necessary to preserve or-der or protect workers. First Defections Reported. Scattered reports from the fields, reaching into 28 states, showed the first breaks in the ranks of organ-ized labor in West Virginia and Colorado. Advices to Washington headquarters of the operators said that all non-union mines were working to full capacity and turn-ing out considerable more coal than on Saturday. Some of the opera-tors' reports said that union men had gone to work in non-union mines and that there was growing sentiment that the men themselves should have had the ri'iht to vote on the strike before it was ordered. This information, to a large ex-tent, was in line with that receiv-ed by the government, especially as to defections. Officials said the strikers realized public sentiment was against them, and some labor leaders also were taking this view. Attorney General Palmer, hand-ling the main end of the govern-ment's case, went to Pennsylvania tonight, feeling, it was said, that the crisis might be over before Sat-urday, the day on which the tempo-rary injunction restraining officers1 of the miners' organization from ac-tivity was made returnable. Asked what the government would do that day. an official said: "We will not cross that bridge un-til we get to it." !t -*a REAR HUNTING GOOD IN LAND OF THE SKY. Asheville, Nov. 3.—A large party. composed of several business men, left here this morning for the Davidson river section of Transyl-vania county where they will hunt bears for several days. During the past few weeks re-ports have been received here telling of the unusual number of bears in generally over the country who are j that section and several have been combatting radical propaganda, dis-order and general social unrest. killed by sportsmen from various sections of the state.

"It cannot recover for its wrongful payment of the surety," the court says. John W.

REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR IS PRAISED BY PRESIDENT, Washington, Nov. 5.—President Wilson from his sick bed to-day tel-egraphed Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts, congratulating him on his re-election, which the President had said was a "victory for law and order." The telegram follows: "Hon. Calvin Coolidge. Boston. Mass. "I congratulate you upon your election as a victory for law and or-der. When that is the issue all Americans stand together. "WOODROW WILSON." White House attaches said this probably was the first time in his-tory that a President had congratu-lated a candidate of the opposite party on his election to office. Administration officers shared the President's view. They said Gover-nor Coolidge's sweeping victory should go far to encourage officials Washington. Nov. 3.—Official Washington was firm in the belief tonight that the end of the coal strike was near. There was nothing definite or tan-gible in the way of actual develop-ments to justify this hopeful View ot the situation, but everywhere feeling prevailed that influence* were being brought to bear to have the strikers, numbering more than 400.000, return to work. Confidential reports to the depart-ment of justice from its agents in the coal fields were said to show many defections from the ranks of the strikers. Some of the reports said that large numbers of idle min-ers had declared they wanted to re-turn to work, but were afraid. In this connection officials reite-rated that adequate protection would be given. There was no specific statement as to how this would be provided, but it was ex-plained that troops would be avail-able at the call of any governor who believed it necessary to preserve or-der or protect workers. First Defections Reported. Scattered reports from the fields, reaching into 28 states, showed the first breaks in the ranks of organ-ized labor in West Virginia and Colorado. Advices to Washington headquarters of the operators said that all non-union mines were working to full capacity and turn-ing out considerable more coal than on Saturday. Some of the opera-tors' reports said that union men had gone to work in non-union mines and that there was growing sentiment that the men themselves should have had the ri'iht to vote on the strike before it was ordered. This information, to a large ex-tent, was in line with that receiv-ed by the government, especially as to defections. Officials said the strikers realized public sentiment was against them, and some labor leaders also were taking this view. Attorney General Palmer, hand-ling the main end of the govern-ment's case, went to Pennsylvania tonight, feeling, it was said, that the crisis might be over before Sat-urday, the day on which the tempo-rary injunction restraining officers1 of the miners' organization from ac-tivity was made returnable. Asked what the government would do that day. an official said: "We will not cross that bridge un-til we get to it." !t -*a REAR HUNTING GOOD IN LAND OF THE SKY.
