Father Admits Heiress
To Gates Millions Will
Wed Chicago Cartoonist

PASADENA, Cal, March 26.-The
wedding of Miss Dellora Angel,
heiress to nearly $40,000,000, to her
childhood sweetheart, Lester Nor.
ris, son of undertaken at ST.
Charles, ILL.,, will take place 'some-
time this week. according to the
latest information from the Angel
winter home at Altadena, a suburb.
r. M. Angel, father of the bride
to-be, who inherits the estate of the
late John w. Gates, has told news
paper inquirers that much, but has
declined to give specific information
as to the time and place. A per-
sistent rumor, however, has it that
the event will take place at the
Angel residence Wednesday.
The bridegroom-elect who is
cartoonist at Chicago, is a guest at
the Angel home, having reached
southern California last Friday, but
interviewers have not succeeded in
cornering him.
In fact, all of the principals of
the prospective wedding are difficult
to locate, virtually all inquiries at
the Angel residence for any of
them being met with the familiar
mot at home"
But the father, once reported as
opposed to the marriage, has admit
ted it now is a certainty and that,
with the arrival of the bridegroom,
after ostensibly starting from Chi.
rago to New Orleans, has convinced
society and newspaper circles that
Miss Angel was incorrectly quoted
last week when she was reported
to have said: Certainly we do not
intend to marry right aWaV"

1t is giving the farmer mem

would have got had they sold at
the harvest.
Now, there are persons of the
mental caliber of the country edi-

a S100 a month clerk to run such
a large business. And it would
end where many such ventures
have ended in the past-in the
scrap heap, with the farmer

could i'll afford.
A cooperative peanut market

the Nirginia-Carolina district two

up his financial independence on

man of high character.

his great ability as a business

happy circumstance. He can
talk to his members, Of whom he
is servant, as one of them. He
can see things from their stand

Yet this man is drawing a
salary fidiculously small for the

would be at least twice his pres

day combined forces to rum down
The course of the liquid death"
Three Investigations were under
way. One is being conducted by the

was sold. The liquor IS sold at ten
cents drink, three drinks for a
quarter, according to the police.
Government chemists, who tested
samples, said they had found it to
be colored denatured alcohol.
In the last IL weeks nearly 3OO
bodies have been taken to the
morgue and in many cases, death
resulted from alcoholism, according
to William P. Condor, superintend-
ent of the mOrgue.
MANY deaths announced as due
to gas poisoning were afterwards
found to have been caused by
poisonous liquor" Condor said.

2,100 Cases of Fine
Liquors Guarded on =,
Steamer at Key West

KEY WEST, Fla, March 26. -
Twenty-one hundred cases of fine
liquors were found on board the
Cuban steamer Monetennotte by
revenue agents when they boarded
the vessel as it was being lowed into
port this morning.
According to the captain of the
Monetennotte, the liquor is part of
a cargo of six thousand cases which
were on board when they left the
Bahama Islands, January 10, for st.
Pierre island, off Newfoundland.
He refused to explain what had be-
come Of the remainder of the cargo
or state what ports the vessel had
touched since leaving the Bahamas.
The Monetennotte was brought
into port this morning by the cutie"
Saukee after distress messages had
been received from her Friday night.
When the tug went to the aid of the
vessel, off Somnrero lighthouse,
just within the three.mile limit, the
captain refused offers of assistance,
saying he would only be toWed into
a foreign port.
Federal authorities here dispatch
ed the cutter Saukee to bring in
vessel in. The ship was found to be
without coal and supplies and lack
ed clearance and manifest papers.
An armed watch has been station
ed aboard the vessel until bond is
furnished for it's release. Federal
authorities believe the vessel has
been putting in at secluded coves

PREACHER AMONG 8
HELD FOR FIRING ON
CAROLINA FARMER

COLUMBIA, S, c., March Go
Eight white men, including
preacher, have been charged with
firing from ambush upon Daniel A.
Duncan, farmer of the Grassy Bay
section of Horny county, on Decem-
Der Z. it was stated today at the
office of Governor T. G. Mcleod. The
arrests were made following an in
vestigation by a state constable, who
made his report to Governor Nc
Leod today. Two of the men con-
fessed, duplicating the others, &C
cording to the officer.
Those arrested, all of whom have
been held in $1,000 bond at Conway,
S. c., were said to be: J. w. Mon
roe and Maherry Hill, brothers; Stog
Granger, Memory Pridgeon, and
the Rev. Albert Pridgeon, cousins;
Lloyd Jolly and NJ. c. Blackwell.
The shooting followed the receipt
by Duncan, a married farmer, of
the Grassy Bay section of two let
tiers signed *. K. X" which or
dered him to leave the county.
The state constable declared to-
day, however. that the K. K. <. hda
nothing to do with the shooting.
Duncan was fired upon while re-
turning to his home near Grassy
Bay church from Conway in a
buggy. A rain of shot poured from
shotguns fell upon him as he passed
the churchyard. He dropped to the
bottom of his buggy and was not
hit, but his horse was struck by five
or six shots. twenty-five or thirty
shots were fired, according to the
confessions given to the constable.
Duncan had been called to the door
of his home and number of shots
were fired at him a week earlier.
Officers of the county failed to
make any progress in discovering
Duncan's assailants, and they, with
other citizens who were wrought up
over the affair, appealed to Governor
Mcleod to send a detective to the
vicinity. This officer worked on the
case two days before he made his
first arrest, but the other seven fol-
lowed in rapid succession.

WICHITA, Kas., March 26.-Dis-
continuance of the dumping method
of marketing wheat and a possible
control Of the sales of one-tenth of
the annual wheat production of the
United States, may be the outgrowth
Of plans expected to be presented to
the National Wheat Growers asso-
citation, which opened a two-day ses-
sion here today.
Five states compose the associa-
ton and their annual production is
estimated at more than 75,000,000
bushels, all of which would be con-
trolled and marketed through the as
ISOLATION, if the delegates from the
different states accept the plan OF
the joint committee.
With Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebras-

Each state would have control OF
it's own wheat, subject to the national
marketing committee" G. c. Jew

10 Local Councilmen,
9 Aldermen Belong to
Klan, Says Lecturer

EUFAULA, Ala, March 26.-The
Rev. F. J. Mashburn, of Atlanta,
in a speech on "ku Klux Khan
principles" delivered before 300 per-
sons here yesterday, declared that
all but eight members of the At
lanta city council are full-fledged
klansmen.
Nineteen out of twenty-four
councilmen, and zine out of twelve
aldermen are members Of this great
American fraternity, and are spread
ing it's gospel in the life of our
city," he asserted.
The speaker added that he had
personal knowledge that three
southern governors, two northern
governors, and numerous United
States senators and congressman
are members in good standing.
"In your state of Alabama" he
continued. 1--WE include in our mem
bership three supreme court judges,
three district attorneys and two
sheriffs.'
Mr.. Mashburn said the khan has
received a "bad DEAF from the
American newspapers for the rea-
son that ninety per cent of them
are controlled by foreign power"
Khan Organizer F. c. Swend, Of
Montgomery, introduced Mr.. Mash
burn as true disciple of the great
Ku KluX Khan principles"
Defending the wearing Of the
mask, Mr.. Mashburn said the khan
in this way has turned up hun
dreds of criminals and turned them
over to the courts" He warned
that the public schools are being
menaced," and called on "all real
Americans to stand UP, four-square,
for a pure hundred per cent, I'M
adulterated Americanism."
The speaker picked out few
Alabama daily newspapers and
sharply denounced them for their
alleged anti-klan attitude.
Free speech, free public schools,
a free press and separation of
church and state" were stressed by
Mr.. Mashburn, who told his audi
ence that the khan is absolutely
loyal to the Christian religion"

in the audience, and reception
was given Mr.. Mashburn by local

Outside of appropriations to take
care of the necessary governmental
expenditures, the "crying need" Of
the coming legislature will be to eff
feet tax remedies that would tend
to lessen the burden of taxation on
an already overwhelmed people"
Senator w. G.. Hodges, of Tallahas-
see, stated today. The senator an
nounced his opposition to occupa-
ton licenses, state income taxes,
state inheritance taxes and the
Creation of new unnecessary de-
partments to gobble up more money
from the taxpayers" He said he was
in favor of automatic increases in
salaries of the clerks at the state
capital, after having served a GER
tain length Of time, and who had
shown faithful service, just as the
civil service of the United States
takes care of its employees as they
SIOW gray Ill IIlS SCI VIC.
He also expressed his favor of
amending the constitution 20 provide
for exempting actual homesteads
from taxation up to a certain
amount" He added that he was OPP
posed to and will resist" laws that
look toward giving commissions
created by the legislature, the au-
thority to make rules and regula-
tons having the effect of laws"
eff they are to have the right,
he continued, why put the people
to the expense of converting a legis-
lature. . The people are entitled
to at least be permitted to go to bed
at night without waking up in the
morning and finding that some COM
mission had got together at night
and passed some rules and regula-
tons that made them criminals over
night" The senator stated he was
in favor of amending the constitu
ton so the supreme court judges
may act on designations of the chief
justice, where there is a conges-
ton, as circuit court trial judges,
Just as is now done by the su-
preme court judges of the United
! States supreme court"
In connection with taxation, Sena-
tor Hodges asked How many dia-
monds are returned for taxation by
the diamond wearers of this state
and if they are not returned, isn't
it about as appropriate for them to
have to pay tax on a diamond
ring as it is 70 make some man, who
could hardly exc out a living on a
farm in the piney woods, return

chair he has for taxation, or be con.
