Los Angeles, Dec. 30.-Insanity
will be the answer pleaded by Will
liam f. Hickman for his confessed
abduction and murder of Marian
Parker, it was announced today by
his attorney, Jerome Walsh, who was
sent here by the mother of the 49,
year-old youth to defend him. After
a study of the California penal code,
the insan ty defense was outlined by
the attorney as the basis of his fight
for Hickman, who tod officers that
the 81. 500 ransom obtained from the
dead girls father meant more to him
than the child's right to live. Walsh,
who arrived yesterday from Kansas
City. Hickman's home town, spent
the day closeted with Los Angeles
officials and in Hickman's cell with
the prisoner. He said that nights
examination of the states penal code
offered four possible avenues of plea.
They are, he pointed out. Guilty"
"Insanity." "Guilty ard Insane" or
"Not guilty and insane" The last
n'ea would REQUIRE first tr al as to
o'-ilt &c the charge of kidnapping

State Fish Hatcheries
Are Being Improved
Fees Derived From Anglers Licenses
Used to Improve the
Industry

Anglers license fees paid to the
state department Of conservation and
development last spring and summer
are making possible "a greatly en-
larged program for providing i'm
proved fishing in North Carolina.
The states first statewide anglers
license law, according to J. X. Dix
on, assistant director of the depart
ment, enacted by the 1927 general
assembly made possible the collec-
ton of more than $4,000 for the
first year of its operation.
Funds collected from licenses are
being expended after the payment of
warden service by the department
for the Improvement of inland fish
ing opportunities and will be re-
flected in the distribution of baby
fishes from the state hatcheries next
year. Additions and improvements
that are being made at most of the
hatcheries will result, it is expected,
in a greatly enlarged output.
A new bass pond has been added
this year at the Frank Stedman
hatchery, Fayetteville, which will al
low greatly increased program of
bass rearing.
The rainbow trout building at the
Pete" Murphy hatchery, Marion has
been enlarged and considerably more
trough space has been provided. A
new cottage has been constructed at
this hatchery for the use of the as
sistant foreman and light plant has
been installed.
Additions and improvements have
also been made at the Morrison
hatchery, Waynesville, and the
Watauga hatchery at Rutherwood.
All these improvements and addi-
tions have been made possible as d
result of the anglers act.
Anglers fees are assisting in the
opening of d new bass hatchery or
nursery near Lake James, Burke and
Mcdowell counties. All fingrelings
raised in these bonds will be lberat-
ed IN the waters of the nearby lake.

GREAT STRIDES IN
STATE EDUCATION
724 Public School Buildings Erected
During Past Five Years at Cost of
Over $35,00o,OOO; Movement Be-
gan With Aycock

North Carolina has erected 724
school buildings, costing over $685.
100000 within five years, says julie
B. Warren, secretary of the North
Carolina Education association. in a
statement given out in Raleigh last
week.
Fifty years ago North Carolina
was next to the most illiterate state
in the union, New Mexico being at
the bottom of the list For many
years after the Civil war, scattering
log buildings represented the states
school system largely
Then came the Aycock admins
tration and for Is to 20 years the
state has been forging steadily to
the top in educational expansion and
1928 looks bright.
''In 1920 North Carolina was
spending one million dollars on her
public schools per year Today she is
spending 81 million dollars annually.
"ln the great period of school
building in North Carolina from
January |, 1920, to January |. 1925,
North Carolina erected 724 modern
buildings of five rooms or more. 1t
was an era of expansion with COM
munities rivalling each other in con-
struction of substantial, well equip
ped buildings for the education of
the young. Cities voted bonds and
in many instances the rural COM
munIties did likewise. but the latter
mostly were built from loans from
special building funds, the state lit
erary fund and appropriations of
county funds.
The total cost of the buildings
is $35.7374O3, divided as follows ::
White, rural, $1S,413,S4O; white,
city Sf4,66I929; negro, rural.
4l1,2G4; negro, city, $2,024.37O.
The enormous sum was cheerful
ly expended by the people of the
state in an effort to better to con-
ditions surrounding the lives of the I
children, and in almost every in
stance, bond issues for schools met
with little or no opposition.
''In buildings for white rural pu-
pills, CASTOR county led in the largest
number of structures erected, with
20; also in number Of classrooms,
with total of 232 and IN money ex-
pended, $S26,000; Guilford county
was second in number of buildings,
Is, and number of classrooms, 179,
and in amount expended, S759,5OO.
Five counties did not erect any
buildings of five rooms on over for
white pupils in the five-year period
The SIS rural school buildings
erected in the period contain 4,OS6
tandard classrooms The t29 new
city buildings for white contain l.
7-5 c.assrooms. The average cost
per classroom in the rural white
school is 1881; in the city white
buildings S8,274 1t is shown that the
white people of the cities invested
ll5 per cent more per classroom
than their brothers in the country.
There were 133,30S children en-
rolled in the white city schools last
year, and 410,S34 enrolled in the ru-
raj schools. Less than 25 per cent of
the enrolment was recipient of
schoolhouses costing S14,6S7,92O,
which represents about As per cent
of the total expenditure for buildi-
ings for whites.
"The expenditure in buildings per
rural white child was $44.82. In
the cities the average was S11O.18
for whites"
