NEWS 'AND OBSERVER, RALEIGH. N. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 26, 1928. 3 LOUISE PRICE IS FINALLY IN JAIL East Raleigh Woman Begins Service of 90 Days Sentence In County Jail Unescorted by an officer, Louise Price, notorious East Raleigh woman, late yesterday afternoon entered the county jail to begin service of a 90- day sentence she received on a charge of selling liquor. It is the first time she has ever served more than three days behind the bars, the woman said just before she went to jail.

Mrs. Price was crying when, she came to the office United States Marshal R. W. Ward', yesterday afternoon but when she started for the jail she was smiling. "I wouldn't mind it 80 it wasn't for those dirty women that I'll have to be around," she observed.

A group of curiosity seekers were waiting around the entrance to the jail to see the woman taken in but she avoided them by slipping in the north side door. Louise Price, who the tax books show to be a rather wealthy woman, was convicted of selling whiskey when tried in United States District Court, before Judge I. M. Meekins, last month. The testimony against her was presented by six Federal prohibition officers who stated that they had purchased liquor from her, paying $1 a drink for whiskey and $1 a bottle for beer.

On the stand and again yesterday the woman swore that she had sold the officers immitation, non-alcoholic peach cordial instead of whiskey, and near-beer for real beer. However, she admitted that she had charged $1 a drink for the cordial and a $1 a bottle for the near -beer. During her trial Chief of Police J. Winder Bryan and several of his officers testified that they had no report of any misconduct on her part since she was arrested four years ago on charges of selling whiskey and running a disorderly house. She was acquitted of both of these charges at the time.

The woman was first scheduled to begin her term on June 15 but while Judge Meekins was out of the district her lawyers secured a ten-day stay of execution from Judge' Johnson Hayes on the ground that they had discovered additional evidence. However, no hearing was held before Judge Meekins on his return and in the absence of an order the clerk of court issued an order for her arrest yesterday.

Haywood, In Charge of Analytical Division, Makes Radio Talk Thousands of samples of fertilizer are tested each year by the analytical division of the State partment of Agriculture, W. G. wood, in charge of the division, said last night in an address over the Durham Life Insurance Company broadcasting station WPTF. Perhaps the greatest change which has taken place in fertilizer manpfacture within recent years is in various materials which are used as sources of nitrogen, the speaker stated. Materials such as dried blood, fish scrap, slaughterhouse tankage and others are fast disappearing as sources of nitrogen fertilizer and are being used extensivelv: as stock feed.

In place of these high-grade trade waste products in which nitrogen has been made available by treatment are now extensively used. In addition to these, various other materials are coming into use in which the nitrogen is derived fr.m the air. The department is now determining in its laboratories the percent; age of mineral and organic nitrogen in all samples of fertilizer which it analyzes, which should enable the farmer to form an opinion of the goods he has purchased, the speaker pointed out.
