WOMAN SLAVE R LIKELY REACH
 DEATH CHAIR
(By United Press2

CONCORD, N. C., Oct. 31, - The second step toward the death chair or freedom of Gaston Bullock Means, began here yesterday. The Cabarrus county grand jury will decide pro- bably before night whether a for mer trial should" be ordered on evil dence tending to show he murdered rich Mrs. Maude King, his benefact- ress here August 29.
 It was six days to a day after the globe trotting Chicago woman's mys- terious death, that her protege and confidant, Means, faced indictment on the deed Fourteen of the eighteen jurors must affirm the indictment. In that event, a date will at once be set for formal trial in the superior court here.
 Demand of the state for either a change of venue to an adjoining coun- ty of the district, or for yenire of jurymen from an adjacent county, was considered in event of an indictment. Local sentiment here, where the Means family has resided for many years, it is felt, cannot altogether be relied upon.

 RECORD
(By United pressl

r WASHINGTON, Nov. L Most congressman thought when the last session adjourned. it had been the most talkative in history, what with the war, taxes, the draft and the boys in the trenches to make speeches about. With the last postponed num- Der of the Congressional Record con taining canned extension of speech es," it has been found that the volume is 300 pages shy of the previous high mark.
 Representative Joseph Walsh. Mas sachusetts, is largely responsible Early in the session he began object ing to what he termed abuses of the extension system.' Amateur poems, essays on the war by precocious Johnny, just twelve years old, and the son of an important constituent, obitu aries in verse and others were taboo.
 One objection will kill any proposal to extend" Walsh says lot of the boys get pretty 'sore" at him.
