Herbert Dallas Convicted;
-. Case To Be Annealen

WILMINGTON, N. c., March %.
Herbert f. Dallas, convicted in SUI
perior court here Monday of man.
slaughter as a result of the killing
of Joseph Southwell, was sentenced
Tuesday to serve from two to five
years in the state penitentiary.
Prior to the passing of sentence,
the defense argued for a new trial
on the grounds that Judge Kerrin
instructing the jury had incorrectly
stated that Dallas admitted shoot
ing Southwell and that the defense
had not been allowed to challenge q
talesman as to his being a free
holder of New Hanover county. The
defense stated it would appeal the
case to the supreme court, and it
was announced that Dallas would
be released in $4,000 bail.
Southwell, an Atlantic Coast Line
engineer, who went out during the
rail strike last summer, was shot
and killed in an alteration here.
Dallas, formerly of Spartanburg, S.
c., was a railroad yardmaster at the
time of the shooting, and it was tes-
titled that there had been difficulties
between the men prior to the kill
ing. Dallas was tried previously, but
the jury disagreed.

MANY AMERICANS
WOULD Be KINGS,
LETTERS REVEAL

HONOLULU, T. H.-The United
States harbors q large number
of citizens who would be kings,
according to letters applying for
royal jobs which have found
their way to Governor Wallace r.
Harrington. They come as a result
Of an apparently widespread miscon,
ceptlon of the South Seas.
The applicants got busy after
reading a mainland newspaper ar
ticle headed Rulers Wanted for
Islands in South Seas" and the err
roneous information that "details
might be obtained from the Ameri.
can consul at Honolulu" The del
uge Of letters that followed found
their way, in the absence of an
American consul at Honolulu, to the
American governor of the American
territory of Hawaii.
The newspaper article was part Of
a series entitled Life as 1t Really
Is in the South Seas The first
article, according to information
here, began with the question: How
would you like to be the ruler Of
South Sea island?" Apparently the
number of American citizens who
crave TO don royal paraphernalia in
some far-off palm-lined, tropic is
land is legion. The applicants
included insurance statesmen, farm
ers, university students, oil men,
cowboys, clerks and bankers.
The position Of king was de-
scribed as not arduous, hours not
long, and with cont lued series of
tall glasses of amber rum punch, :"
always at the elbow of the mon
arch. The only disadvantage to the
job was given as the loneliness,
which grows"
One applicant wrote: Seeing re-
Gently in one of cur Texas papers
an article in regards to kings jobs
in the South Sea Islands, would you
kindly furnish me with the infor'
nation in regards to kings
jobs in said islands? What part Of
the islands are men wanted, what
experience Is necessary, if transpor.
LdIlOn IS lIuInISHSuI WhdL SdldAS 4S
paid. and under HON does the ap-
plicant work if awarded a position?
Is it a U. S. government position,
or Is it local concern? Any other
information you can furnish will be
appreciated.1
Another applicant states his quail
fications in these words: my Dear
Consul: This story appeals to the
writer, and if there is anything to
it, would be pleased to get in touch
with the maker of kings. Have had
lots of experience in handling men
and conducting business, and am
sure I could learn how to make cop
ra. If you know anything about
this, put me next and the. favor will
be appreciated"
Governor harrington will answer
all the applicants.
