AUNT JERUSHY'S ALBUM.
Living Pictures at the First Methodist
Church Lecture Room Tonight.

Long since the family album has be-
come a thing of the past, to be laid
away with full skirts. slender waists,
pulled sleeves and all the rest of the
old-fashioned notions.
At one time, long ago, callers
waiting for the hostess were wont to
entertain themselves by looking
through the family album, but it is
relic of bygone days. However, to-
night at the First Methodist Church
Aunt Jerushy's family album will be
brought to light and pictures of her
family will be shown.
Living pictures, too. Don't miss
seeing these pictures. They are
worth going miles to see. For par
ticulars see ad. in another column.

HOUSE DEBATES
 EXCISE TAX BILL Supreme Court Responsible for Growth of Socialism so SAYS UNDERWOOD House Leader Defends Measure Under Rapid Fire of Questions From
 Regular Republicans-Little-

so SAYS UNDERWOOD

Washington, March 1S.-DemoeratiC Leader oscar w Underwood supportine the proposed excise tax bill in the House today, charged that the supreme cour' by it's annulment of the income tax il 1895 was responsible for the growth ol socialism in the United States.
 The pending measure, which probably win pass the House tomorrow. is ex- rected to raise between s50,OO000O and $Co,- eO0,000 a year in revenue for the govern ment ulti-milionaires-Andr Car negie, J. Pierpont Morgan, and John D. Rockefeller, would be compelled to pay their full share of taxation under it's terms, the democratic leader declared.
 Socialism Only Recently
 .When the government fad sthe right to tax wealth." said Mir. Underwood. we did not hear the socialistlc cry of those less able to bear the burden of taxation. The spirit of unrest came when the su- preine court abandoned it's policy of a hundred years and five justices to four said in effect to Congress that great wealth was to be exempted from tax4- tion.'
 Mir. Underwood defended the measure under a rapid firt If questions from Re publican Leader ki m, Representatives Madden of Illinoia opgworth of Oh.o and Campnell of K, all regular re- publicans.

Lewisburg, March 1S.-(Special )-Felix J. Ellard, aged 57 years, father of Con stable W. w. Ellard, who was killed at Lewisburg several months ago. and the man who called upon Gov. Emmet O'Neal while the latter was in the city few days ago, was mysteriously shot and killed from ambush this afternoon abou. 4 o'clock. Presumably two loads of buck shot fired from a double barrelled shotgun took effect in his left side and back. The left side of his face was badly riddled.
 Ellard was returning from East Bir- ningham, where he had taken his wife this morning about 9.30 o'clock. He had reached a point about two miles and a half from his home, along a lonely stretch of the road, when the shots were fired It is supposed that the shots frightened the horse which he was driv- ing and it ran away.
 The horse was seen coming home by Ellard's only living son, Claude Ellard, aged @ years. The latter not knowing the meaning of the horses coming hcrne alono got In the buggy and drove back along the road until he found his father lying beside the road in a pool of his own hlood breathing his last

Campbell Succeeds Judge Massie. Minister Sees Floyd Allen in Jail at Roan0ke-Seems to Be
 Thoroughly Subdued

Greensboro. N. C.. March 1S.--A long distance telephone message from Mount Airy. N. C.. at midnight stated that a messenger had just arrived in Mount Airy and asked that every available man be sent to Squirrel Spur near the Virginia border, where, it was be- lieved, Sidna Allen and several of his gang were surrounded. The messenger stated that at 10 o'clock a force of 4o detectives had formed cordon about Squirrel Spur and a battle was ex- pected.
 The officers came upon Wesley Ed wards at his cabin eight miles east of Sidna Aliens home at sundown. Ed F wards made his escape through a back door of his cabin, leaving his rifle and pistol in the house. A sister told the possemen that Sidna Allen was at the house in tue morning; that he was badly wounded, and that he told Ed wards to come to Squirrel Spur to- night.
 Track Edwards
 The detectives tracked Edwards to Squirrel Spur and are positive of the presence there of body of men. Aid was asked from Mount Airy in order that the pursuers might storm the out laws fortress at daybreak.
 Squirrel Spur Is at the foot of the mountain range in and about Hills vile. It Is inaccessible except by foot and is said to be a natural fortress Rugged rocks form a circle about half acre open space and it Is not be- lieved that it will be possible to force the outlaws without quick rush and possible further loss of life. The place Is F miles east of Sidna Aliens home.

TOOK HIS FATHERS
 HEAD IN HIS LAP

The young man got out of the buggy, he states, and took his fathers head in his lap. He states that his pulse beat faint ly for several minutes after his arrival but that the old man did not speak. He expired within few moments after the arrival of his son.
 R. T. Lyerly, a local real estate man, stated that he was seated in his house and heard his bull dog barking unusually on the front porch He states that he commanded the animal to be quiet, but no attention was paid. Lyerly states that he then went out on the front porch and the dog quit barking as he emerged from the door. Then he heard faint cries of ''Helpl Help.'' coming from to- ward the road. He states that he pro- cured lantern and gun and made his way to the place from which the cries emanated.
 There he found Claude Ellard holding his fathers head in his lap. Claude rapid ly told Lyerly what was the trouble and the latter jumped in the buggy which / the old man was driving at the time he was shot and drove like. mad over the rough mountain road to the Mary Lee Commissary where he gave the alarm or the murder. Deputy Sherffs John Potts and Henry Cole were there and they tele- phoned the information to the sherifis office I.yerly was accompanied back to the scene of the murder by Dr. G. E.. Scott, local physician, but it was too late for him to do anything.
 When Deputy Sheriff John Cole reached the scene of the killing he found Claude Elard lying across the lifeless body of his parent. overcome with grief. Seeking to console hinr as best he could, Deputy Cole led him to one side, telling him to not worry so much, promising every aid of the sher- iff's forces in experimenting the slay CTS of his father. Claude then told the deputy that he thanked him for his sympathy and said. They got my brother and they got my father. I guess l am the next one, and l am ready to go.'

Explosion Without Warming

The engine, a big passenger mogul practically new, had been brought to the shops for inspection. Those in tho vicinity who escaped immediate death declare that the boiler burst without warning, tearing the huge machine to bits. Parts of the locomotive and the wrecked round house and adjoining shop buildings. together with the arms legs. heads and mangled trunks of the victims, were scattered for blocks around.
 Jourdan was In the cab of the en- zine at the time of the explosion.
 The buildings wrecked are the cop per house, the blacksmith shop and the round house, which formed tho square In which the locomotive stood. Of those killed the greater number were shopmen sent from northern and east ern cities several months ago to re- place employees on strike.

Increases Reward

Difficulties of the search caused a call for the state militia to be seriously con sidered, but that plan was temporarily abandoned and Governor Mann issued | proclama ton increasing the total rewaras to s4000 for the outlaws dead or alive, and sent their full descriptions to every store, postoffice and cross roads for miles around
 Detective Felts this morning took a posse up the road that goes over Bar bett Knob and Elk Spur and past Fancy Gap, near Devils Den, where the out- laws were reported to be barrie aded in an almost impossible fortress of noun tain rock.
 The posse saw none of the gang, and no evidence of their presence. but kept on to the Carolina line and brought up at Mount Airy. At last dozen houses. the homes of members of>the Allen clan, or their sympathizers were searched on the way, but not trace of the outlaws was founU
