Issue Between States

Washington, Feb. 23.-The long
standing dispute between North and
South Carolina as to which state pro-
ducad Andrew Jackson was debated
in the house today but there was no
decision.
A photostat copy of letter by
Jackson saying he was born in South
Carolina was presented by Represen-
tative Stevenson of that state because
there had been "engrafted into the
permanent volume Of The Congress
sional Record the myth that Jackson
was born in North Carolina.
Representative Hammer of North
Carolina, standing up for his own
state, insisted the records accepted
as authentic showed beyond question
that North Carolina was entitled to
the honor.
AS the discussion became heated
Representative Byrnes Of Tennessee
broke in.
"While there may be doubt as to
where jackson was born," he declared
"there is no doubt as to where he
moved, once he reached his majority
He went to the Volunteer state OF
Tennessee, there to live and die"
During the friendly wrangline
members wanted to know exactly
what it was thst the governor o!
North Carolina had said to the COVER
nor Of South Carolina on certain
historic occasion, antedating the Vol
stead law. Mr.. Stevenson swept away
all doubt on this point by declaring
that he actually said:
"It's a devil of long time between
drinks"

FOX RIVER VALLEY
BURIED UNDER ICE

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 24.-Cut of
for two and one-half days, the Fox
River valley, in northeastern Wiscon.
sin, tonight remains buried under ice
and snow which defied the biggest
snow plows and the strongest en-
gines.
From Manitowoc on Lake Michi-
gan and Fond du Lac on Lake Win
nebago, north through Appleton and
Green Bay, across into northern
Michigan, transportation is halted,
communication from this side cut
and even the wireless clogged with
"static" has failed to reveal what is
happening in the 500 square miles of
the Fox River valley.
One fragmentary message, coming
through the naval radio station here
from the naval wireless at Green Bay
tonight reported the wreck of a
doubleheader train on the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad buried in huge
drifts near Little Chute. Three men,
bers of the crew were reported in
jured.
Green Bay tonight had reestablish-
ed communication by way of north
ern Michigan to Duluth and st. Paul.
While the northern part of the
state is snowbound, Milwaukee coun-
ty is threatened by floods. Residents
of Sunny Point, north of Milwaukee
have asked that national guardsmen
be sent to dynamite an ice gorge in
the Milwaukee river which has food
ed farms and summer estates.
Railroad men report that washouts,
fallen trees, huge blocks of ice, snow
drifts 20 feet deep and a jumbled
mass of telegraph poles and tangled
wires are the chief difficulties in the
way of restored transportation.
The storm started with heavy rains
early this week. Freezing tempera-
ture encrusted telephone wires with
ice, in many places an inch thick.
Tuesday night and Wednesday every
wire to the northern part of the state
went down and railroad traffic was
halted.
The Wisconsin Telegraph company
tonight estimated that more than g.
900 of it's poles are down.

MOVIE BILL

Passage of the MOVING .picture Ii
cense tax bill as amended by the SEN
ate and the sending of the joint reso-
luton to change the fsca year from
January 1 to July to third reading
were among the more Important ac-
tions of the senate at TIE two hour
day session yesterday.
The senate movie licetse bill will
hardly be recognized by the house
when it returns to that body, as the
house measure was killed and n sub
stitute by the finance committee pass
ed. This substitute bill provides for
direct tax on theatres ranging from
$50 on theatres in towns ranging
from $500 inhabitants, $50 on thea
ters in towns from $500 inhabitants
to 5000 to $3.50 on theaters in towns
of more than $4,000 people. The fin
ance committee bill provided for a
$50 tax on theaters in towns less than
5000 people, but an amendment of
fered by Senator Moore to make the
tax $50 on theaters in towns less
than $500 was agreed to. The bill
takes in only moving picture thea
ters.
An effort by Senator Wightman to
strike out the resolving words of the
joint resolution to change the fiscal
year was lost by a vote of 80 to 3
and the resolution was then passed

LANDRU GOES TO HIS DEATH
FOR MURDER OF TEN WOMEN

Versailles, Feb. 25.-Henri Desir,
Landru, convicted murdered of 10 wo
men and one boy, died by guillotin al
o'clock today. Thousands gathered
outside the Jail. Landru appeared ir
dark trousers with white short, his
head shaved and his beard trimmed
He walked five steps toward the gull
lotine without faltering when the ex,
ecutioner's assistant caught him
around the waist, levelled him to the
table which Immediately suspended q
heavily weighed triangular knife and
slid down and the affair was over in
20 seconds. The cavalry saluted as
Landru met his death. He refused the
sacrament but did not confess.
Henri Desire Landru, the "Blue-
beard of Gambais", was arrested on
April a, 1919, on II counts of murder
growing out of the disappearance of a
boy and 10 women to whom he had
promised marriage. The charmer
of .283 women Of all ages from 20 to
go, many of them foolish and wealthy
widows, was born in Paris in 1869.
He was mechanical engineer and had
been well educated.
Landru had previously engaged tho
attention Of the police through his
swindling operations for which he was
sentenced to prison for term of four
years. He was married and had two
grown children. He was a dark-vis-
aged man with shining bald head and
long, black whiskers and during the
progress of his trial for murder, which
began, Nov. z, 1921, before the Ver-
sailed Assizes and ended the follow
ing Nov. 80, he participated dramati-
cally in his own defense.
The backbone of his defense was
that there was an absolute lack of
proof that the missing" women were
dead. The legal accusations against
him were comprised in $4,000 pages
of. evidence which required three hours
to read in court. About 125 witnesses
appeared for the prosecution and de-
tense. A large quantity of charred
bones and ashes, alleged to be the re-
mains Of Landru's victims, was
brought to Versailles in five sealed
cases as we'll as many Of the personal
Aslongings found in the little villa
at Gambais where the modern Blue
l31afus1ored his ffancees o7deatah
Landru's motive in committing the
murders was the sordid one of robbing
the women Of their meager savings.
The police proved that he rented the
cottage at Gambais, few miles from
Paris, advertised in various matri-
monial papers and enticed his victims
to the villa where all trace of them
was lost.
After his arrest, the house was
ransacked and practically demolished
by the police in an effort to find the
remains of the missing women. A
few bones were unearthed as we'll as
some hair but not enough to form a
corpus deficit. The Bluebeard, ac-
cording to the police, killed his VIC
time and incinerated the bodies in a
cook stove.

VI, rCOs 20, lSZA.
Never in the history OF suffering
humanity has such heart-3ending cry
reached our ears, as that, of the un-
fortunate Jewish victims. The un-
speakable horrors and untold crimes
perpetrated against them in Russia,
Poland, Hungary and other European
lands make ones hair stand on end.

fold, they would not begin to measure
the misfortunes that have overwhelm-

To save alive those who have not
yet perished from hunger, exposure
and disease, and to take care of the
hundreds of thousands of the helpless
and homeless orphans, it is necessary
to raise a minimum of fourteen mil
lion dollars ($14,0OO,O0O). The Jews
of America are doing the utmost to
come to the rescue of their unfortu-
nate co-religionists across the At
lantic. But the need is SO great, that
they find themselves compelled to ap-
peal to those who are not of their
faith. May we, therefore, ask you to
appeal from your pulpit to the chari-
table and generous of your congrega
ton, to join us in this act of humanity,
and help us save men, women and
children from perishing? Will you
not ask them to come forward with
