been unable to substantiate reports
that the letters also had to do with a
plot against some persons outside the

the prison 20 years, and Leonard
Studer, a guard of only six months.

Earl Carroll New York theatrical
producer, is seriously i'll at the Green
vile City Hospital, where he was
taken at noon today, following his
collapse on the train, which was con-
veying him to the Federal Penitentiary
at Atlanta.
Carroll had not regained conscious
ness at 1870 o'clock and it was learn
ed that he had been in a state of coma
since 10 o'clock this morning.
Physicians attending the producer
said that they had found no cause
for his condition other than possible
nervous complications due to strain.
They said his condition was regarded
serious, since he had not emerged
from the state of coma. After first
treatment in the emergency ward of
the hospital Carroll was removed to
a room, where q special nurse has
been assigned to attend him.
Mrs. Carroll Summoned.
United States Marshal William c..
Hecht, in charge of the special car
in which Carroll and 27 other pris-
oners were being taken to the Atlanta
Penitentiary, remained at the hospital
to be near his charge.
A long distance telephone call was
placed at the hospital for Mrs. Car
roll, who is in New York. The
marshal said she would be asked to
come to Greenville to be near her
husband.
A pathologist this afternoon was
examining the contents of Carrolls
stomach, which was pumped out after
he was taken to the hospital. The
marshal declared his prisoner had
eaten very little since leaving New
York yesterday and had only a cup of
coffee for breakfast shortly before he
collapsed.
On Operating Table.
Carroll appeared pale and emaciated
as he lay unconscious on the operating
table in the emergency ward. His
breathing was irregular, but ply
sicians said his pulse was good.
The news that Carroll had collapsed
did not leak out until the train
reached Greenville, when a hurry call
was made for physicians and an am
bulance. A crowd gathered around
the car which was hooked on the
rear of the train. 1t was some time
before the spectators learned who was

Mushroom Inspectors
To Protect PGrisi0nS

PARIS disappointment of muSh-
room inspectors is Paris latest move
in its vigil over the health of it's
citizens.
So many cases of poisoning from
the wrong variety of mushrooms have
been reported in France during the
summer that the Partisan authorities
have named six men, who will be re-
sponsible for eliminating all deleteri-
GUS fungi from the city's markets.
They must inspect every mushroom
sold for consumption in Paris, and
in addition, will cast an experts eye
on those brought in privately and
for their own consumption by timor-
Gus holiday makers.
Mushrooms continue to be among
the most popular of dishes not only
among the wealthy gourmets but
among the poorer classes as well.
There was some falling off in the
trade early in the fall because of the
numerous cases of poisoning, but since
the naming of inspectors it has re-
sumed its full swing.

Moons session of the annual conven-
ton, which adjourned after the in
stallation of officers. A resolution
was passed on the floor of the as
sembly whereby the association went
on record as being opposed to the
measure on the grounds that it was
purely political measure and not
adopted for the best interests of pub

The association further resolved
that the salary of teachers be pro-
portioned over the, entire IL months
of the year rather than 9-month
period.
The convention unanimously sup
ported the recommendations of the.

a protest against curriculum nak-
ing by the state legislature, that a
satisfactory retirement law be worked
out for Arizona teachers, that there
be a uniform tenure of office con-
tract law established, that teachers
cannot be discharged without justi-
fable cause and that as long as the
state board of education requires the
attendance at schools by teachers
that leaves of absence be granted
with pay.
The executive committee will de-
eide upon the next meeting place at
a later date. Officers of the asso-
citation stated that Tucson would be
the probable selection.
