New York, Nov. 8.-George Bishop
the North Carolina negro youth who
murdered Mrs. Margaret Bell. who
~had1ormeriy employed him as a butler
three weeks ago., was sentenced to
death by Justice Crane in the criminal
branch of the Supreme court in
brooklyn today.
Bishop" said Justice Crane, you

murder in the first degree. The pen
atty is death. | direct hat YOU be
put to death in the week beginning
December 16."
Turning to a deputy sheriff. the JUS
tice continued:
Il direct that the sheriff take this
man to Sing Sing prison by the train
leaving at 11:25 this morning. There
are special reasons for this direc-
ton
It was then learned that Bishop
had obtained possession Of a small
knife in his cell in Raymond street
jail, and early this morning had at
tempted suicide by opening the ar
teries in his wrists. The authorities

TEACHERS PROPOSE LEVY
OF SIX MONTHS TAX
Would Have Property Owner Pay s
Cent on the 500 For Maintenance
Of Elementary schools.

For "a term of six months in all Of
thc elementary schools of North
Carolina, made possible by the levying
OF q five cen tax on the hundred dol
lars, the legislative committee of the
North Carolina Teachers assembly
yesterday made this recommendation
TO the assembly which meets in
Greensboro November 1928.
This action conte1nplates the mini
mum term. just as did the campaign
OF Governor Aycock twelve years ago
when he promised four months as the
right Of every child. The Legislative
committee came here Friday night,
worked on the proposition and yester-
day morning fixed it up for the action
of the assembly at its annual fall con-
Lention.
The term of six months has been at
tanned by many districts and counties,
but is not a general virtue over North
carolina. AS the present plan works,
the burden falls upon the property
holder, the gentleman who rarely
kicks. In the e of such a levy
by the Legislature, these funds would
be app%ortioned from the State treas
ury by the State bOard OF education.
The committee also recommended
that the county instead Of the town
:hip be made the unit Of the appor-
tion,nent Of school funds.
1t endorsed the recommendations OF
the child labor committee as to rails
Ing the age limit to 16 a OF chill
dren employed at night in fac
tories and prohibiting the employ
ment of women at night labor. and
recommending the employment or an
inspector to enforce these laws by
State inspection.
Other recommendations o. the com
mittee are:
Uniform examination and certlhca-
ton Of teachers, urban and rural, by
a State board Of examiners.
A minimum professional and schol-
arship requirement for teachers after
a fixed future date.
An amendment providing TOR a
more busineSS-like method for the en-
ployment Of teachers, and a minimum
qualification in scholarship and eA-
perience for county and city superln-
tendents after a fixed future date.
Amendments to the compulsory at
tendance law providing more effective
machinery for it's enforcement and
the recommendation for an actlVe
campaign for it's adoption by counties.
townships and districts.
Endorsement Of county far1n-Hie
schools and agricultural and domestic
science courses in rural high schools.
The committee anticipates but little
opposition to these progressive meas
ures on the part of the North Caro-
Ina Teachers Assembly. Thee was
10 difference Of opinion on the par'
OF the members Of the Legislative COM
n4ittee, which will make its report 10
the teachers at their nnual meeting
in Greensboro.

w. Mcclure, Secretary of the Nation
al Wool Growers Association, when
asked today concerning the wool tariff
situation, said in part:
"At the present moment very little
is heard in Washington about the tariff
on wool. The Democrats in the House
having passed a bill which they know
would destroy the wool and wooden
industries of the United States seem
content to let the matter rest for the

Democrats who represent farming
communities feel that in voting for the
Underwood wool bill they have com

doubtedly will be true in the case of
about fifty Congressman.

derwood wool bill meant an increase
in the annual imports Of wool equal
to one hundred and ninety million
pounds, which in effect would displace
sixty per cent of the entire domestic

the part of the Democrats that they
intended to destroy sixty per cent Of

grower to sit up and take notice
and he is now preparing to vigorously
defend his interests. The action Of

Handcuffed together the three men

through ranks of militia, who guard

the city streets, nearly 10000 men,
women and children on strike for the

their sympathy for the men accused
The strikers contention is that Et-

than a mile away, while the Lopizzc
woman was shot down by policemen
during the street riot. They declare
that the accused men have beer

BRYAN SAYS
NO Difference
BETWEEN THEM

Lincoln, Neb., Sept 3O.-speaklng
through the editorial columns of The
Commoner, william Jennings Bryan
today processes to see no essential DIFF
ference between President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt Both stand, he
says, for most Of the partys policies
and the cause for contention Is that
each wants to be president,
"On essentials the editorial says
"Mr Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt are not
far apart They agree on the tariff
II either one will write out his Views
on the subject the other will have no
difficulty in endorsing them Both
take the side Of the trusts against
the people, and the trust magnates
are divided between them, They agree
in applaudlng the decision Of the SUI
preme court in emasculating the crim-
inal clause Of the antitrust law They
both favor Imperialism, and they both
prefer national to state remedies The
chef point Of difference on national Is
sues seems to be that they both want
the same office. It would not be diff
flcult for men who think as Mr.. Taf
and Mr.. Roosevelt do to get together
but for their hatred OF each other"
