Rawlings Announces He
Is Ready to Go
to Trial
POPE TO MAKE A FIGHT
Indicated That Change
of Venue Will
Be Asked
(By Associated pr.as)

Jacksonville, Sept. 19.-John Pope,
local attorney, placed on trial today
jointly with Frank Rawlings on
charges of murder in connection
with the killing of George H. Hick-
man, local theatre manager, the
night of September A, was denied
80 day continuance by Circuit Judge
Simmons after the state announced
it would mol pross the third count in
the indictment. Court recessed this
afternoon until tomorrow upon plea
of Pope's council that they would
ask. for a change of venue.
Todays. sessions were marked by
the argument of opposing counsel
on the various motions made by the
defense. Seventy-fve veniremen were
kept out of the room most of the
day.
Rawlings Was Ready
Rawlings counsel appointed by the
court announced they were ready to
proceed with the trial when the
cases were called and stated they
had a plea for the defendant, the
nature of which was not made known.
Popes counsel attacked the second
and third counts of the indictment
before asking for the continuance.
The third count, which was noil
pressed, is similar in effect to the
second The state decidede to nolI
pross the count after Judg eSimmons
had expressed an inclination to
grant the continuance if this count
remained.
No Excitement Prevailed
The court room was packed through
out the day but there was no un-
toward incident as the prisoners were
Drought III ana taken away.
Pope appeared in good spirits as
he came handcuffed into the room.
He nodded greetings to acquantances
and was joined as soon a she had
taken his seat by his two brothers,
Frank Pope, of Daytona, who is as
sisting in his defense, and Charles,
of New York. Rawlings was in
scrutable and appeared to have no
more than a perfunctory interest in
his affairs. After his counsel an
nounced they were ready to proceed
the remainder of the proceedings
centered about Pope. Attorney E. W.
Waybright, of Pope's defense, con-
tested the swearing in of Attorney
William A. Hallowes, Jr., as assis-
tant states attorney in the case, but
was overruled by Judge Simmons.
The indictment returned against
Pope contained three counts charg-
ing murder. The first count charges
Pope with premeditated murder, the
second specifies that he was "then
and there present, aiding, abetting,
helping, assisting, comforting, pro-
curing, encouraging, counselling and
commanding" Rawlings at the time
of the theatre robbery in which
Hickman met his death. The third
count deals with the alleged hap
penings before the killing and charges
that Pope "did incite, move, procure,
aid, counsel, hire and command"
Rawlings.

URGES SPEEDY ACTION
House Leader Says If it Were Possible
to Amend Payne-AIdrich Bill
Within Six Weeks 1t Would
Be Wise to Do So.

Washing conference
with President Harding, Representa-
tive Mondell, Republican leader of the
House, in outlining the probable pro-
gram and policy of the new Congress,
declared revenue revision legislation
should be considered ahead of any
temporary or "stop gap tariff"
Mr. Mondell held that enactment of
a temporary tariff law, along the lines
of the Payne-Aldrich measure, would
require as much time as would be
necessary to pass a permanent tariff.
"How to tackle the allied questions
of tariff and revenue is the important
thing" Mr.. Mondell said.
Fears Flood Of Amendments.
-- ut has been suggested in certain
quarters that it would be wise to take
up some measure, for instance the
Payne-AldTich bill, modifying.a few of
it's provisions such as Schedule K.
but continuing it as it was, and pass
it as purely temporary and emer-
gency stop gap measure The sug.
gested postponement would be to fol.
low TIL. tn revenue legislation and
then permanent tariff bill, which
might become law until the reg
ular Sc: ;.on.
''Perec~ lily I am somewhat doubt
full of the wisdom of that policy. If
it were possible to take the Payne
Aldrich bill, and with a few changes
pass it speedily so that it would be
on the statute books in six weeks or
two months I think it might perhaps
be wise to do it,
"But I have grave doubts as tc
whether this can be done. I am not
at all certain that such a bill thus
introduced would not when it reached
the Senate be opened up for great
variety of amendments, be delayed for
considerable time in it's passage so that
instead of securing what is suggested
prompt action on temporary bill
we might instead find the Congress
considering for months a measure
which, starting as temporary meas
ure, might finally come to be consid
cred as a permanent measure and en-
tirely made over
"Quick Action Only Virtue"
'1t would thus lose the benefit O.
! quick action which is the only virtue
of a temporary measure. We would
| also lose in what would become thu
permanent tariff bill, the benefit O
starting the bill as a permanent meas
ure rather than as temporary one.
IF any emergency measure is pos
sible in advance of the permanen
tariff, it must, it seems to me, be con
fined to a similar anti-dumping provi
sion and possibly an amendment tt
the present tariff basing rates OF
American rather than on foreign val
ues. Such a measure would be O.
value in saving the situation during
the period of consideration of a per
manent MEASURE"

EDNA MURPHY AND
JOHNNIE WALKER, CO-STARS

Love is unlikely to be blind on the
motion picture screen, as elsewhere.
In other words, discriminating pa
irons are sometimes puzzled to know
why two lovers in a picture should be
lovers. AS rule, this condition is
due to an error of judgment in cast
ing the play.
Ideal lovers-that is, convincing as
to youth, equally attractive in per-
sonality and manner, equally endow-
ed with dramatic talent-appear to
have been found by William Fox IN
Edna Murphey and Johnnie Walker.
Evidence of this is seen in the picture,
"Play Square" being presented at the
opera house Wednesday. Miss Muir
ply is seen as dainty small town
girl, and Walker, as youth from the
same town who, after falling into evil
ways in the city, has returned, bent
upon reform in defiance of his city
pals.
1t is at t>this point that the pair be-
come sweethearts-the girl being a
vital factor in his power to resist
temptation.
The scenes in which this romance
progresses depend chiefly for their
success upon the fact that the youth
fur pair are ideally fitted to play the
lovers-the dainty, pretty, appealing
Edna and the handsome, manly, stur-
dy Johnnie. They lend charm to
the picture which makes it delightful
entertainment.
W. K. Howard, who directed the
picture from story by Jack Strum-
wasser, has done an excellent piece
of work in the staging.

LEADS IN EXPENSE
FOR WHITE PUPILS
CHARLESTON COUNTY TOPS ALL
IN INVESTMENT
Table Shows Money Spent Per
White Pupil During Last
School Year
The State.

The State.
Charleston county paid more money
per capita for the education of white
children during the public school term
of 1920-1921 than any other county
in the state, the, statistics showing
that county invested s6729 per child
in education. Florence county was
a close second, her expenditure, &C
cording to the white enrolment in
her public schools, being $65.54 per
white pupil. Kershaw county, with
an expenditure of S22.62 per white
pupil tailed the list Of the 46 counties.
Richland county ranked sixth, her eX-
penditure per white pupil being
$58.O5.
The table, which shows the per cap
ita expenditure for education for
white pupils in the state, has just
been compiled by the State depart
ment of education and proves inter-
esting reading.
Average Forty Dollars
The average expenditure in all the
counties of the state for the past
school year For white pupils was
S39.26 per capita.
"This average" said j. E. Swear
ingen, state superintendent Of educa-
ton, yesterday, compares most fav-
orably with the corresponding per
capita expenditure of $17.02 five
years ago, and compares still more
favorably with the per capita expen-
diture of s12.62 ten years ago.
''The calculation embraces every
item of school expenditure for any
and all purposes in order to show the
investment made by the taxpayers.
"Abcut 80 per cent of the amounts
given is expended in teachers sala-
ries. The other 20 per cent. goes for
other expenses"
Table for Counties.
The per capita expenditure, accord
ing to enrolment, for the white chill
dren of the various counties is given
in the table below. The comparative
standing or rank of each county is
also given.
