Tn Describe Killing


 Columbus. O.. Aug. S P9-The story of the killing of Theora Hix from the lips of the man who has named himself as the killer was ready for the telling today as Dr, James H. Shook, former Ohio State professor, held the witness stand in his trial for first degree murder
 Shook has recounted the ttale of his association with the A year old coed that reached it's end last June 13 when he left her dead at 8 lonely rifle range.
 The opportunity awaited by Prose- cutor John J. Chester. Jr., to obtain under oath either a confirmation or Q denial of the confession made by Dr. Shook a week after the killing that he beat the girl into uncon- sciousncss and then cut her throat after she had threatened his life and that of his wife and ? year old daughter, will come today.
 Snook's narrative yesterday cover cd his meeting with Theora HiX in 1926. It. told of their friendship. of their intimate relations, how they maintained two rooms as husband and wife and how the affair in iatec months was marred by bckering, and threats by the girl against the life of the 4 year old man who was up to then a professor of veterinary medicine at Ohio State University.
 It drew in also the name of Marion T. Meyers, horticulturalist from the state department of agri- culture.
 Snoolis' account revealed the girl was intimate with both him and Meyers and he testified that each knew of her relations with the other. By the introduction of Mey- CTS name. the defense intended 10 show that the arrangement was such as no one but an insane man would enter into"
 Included in the story of Snook's association with the girl was the testimony that Miss HiX had used narcotics at various times to test her reactions and that on few occasions she had persuaded him to do the same. Among narcotics used by the girl, he said, was an emotional stimulant which she car ricd in her handbag. Specimens of this concoction were found in her stomach during the autopsy.

A NOTABLE SEA BATTLE

A NOTABLE SEA BATTLE
On April 20, 1914, the Peacock, one
of the three frigates which congress
expected to have ready for the be-
ginning Of the War Of 1912. but which
were delayed In building, engaged
tho British brig, Epervier, Oft the
southeast coast of Florida.
Both vessels were Of the 18.gun
type and nominally equal In strength.
After only As minutes Of spirited
fighting, however, the British ship
surrendered. A comparison Of the
casualties on both sides indicates
how much more important strategy
Is than mere gunpowder In q naval
engagement. From the point Of view
Of decisiveness, the Peacock's victory
was one Of the outstanding naval
achievements Of the war.
Not an American life was lost and
only two were slightly injured. The
Epervier lost eight men and fifteen
were wounded. Not single heavy
shot touched the hull Of the Peacock,
and her masts and spars were intact.
The British brig suffered splintered
masts and spars and Is shots pierced
her hull, admitting five feet Of VA
ter into the hold.
The Peacock took its prize to port
at Savannah, hotly chased by two
British frigates.

MERIT IN LIONS AMBITION

Bismarck Lions seeking district presidency and
all who have been taking note OF the local clubs actv-
tiles cannot feel otherwise than hope that they will bring
the back from the district convention at Minot
May 22-2
There arc two merits OH which the club enters the
contest for the highest office in the states OF North
and Sout Dakota Minnesota and the provinces OF
Manitoba and Saskatchewan One is the club record for
achievement both in behalf of the organization and Of
the community. The other merit is in the character
Of the candidate the club has offered the district in Dr.
Frederick q. Strauss.
Both as local president and as district deputy for
North Dakota, DR. Strauss has been untiring Lion
worker and administrator He has charge Of the local
den for his fourth year club president In that time
he has brought the organization the very forefront
civic service The club has been galvanized has taken
the strenuous life in behalf Of local causes for the
bettermen OF Bismarck Last year. its cleanup Of the
city first place In the state Last Christmas 1t
demonstrated capacity for effective good fellowship
toward the boys and girls Of the city in the Christ
mas celebration 1t staged at the Auditorium. It has
done good service for its troop Of boy scouts At
it is preparing to aid the American Legion to obtain an
appropriate memorial to its services In many Of
these activities has been the leadership Of Dr. Strauss
that has made the members willing to do their bit in
the the den has espoused. They have confidence
In him and they recognize his potent energy and in
sirational example These qualities that are needed
in the district presidency
Bsnlarc Lions stand high in the development Of the
organization At present the local den is third In
noting the expansion Of the clubs but may be able to
get to the top before the district convention is held
Formation Of the club at Steele last week WILL at least
| mar w the gap between 1t and Minot ana Columbus
Ohio. the only dens which have record Of greater num-
ber Of clubs established.
In every way therefore, Bismarck Lions are justified in
asking thc district for the honor Of presidency Of the
area And the city In general could escape thrill Of
local prid: II the honor here. There is big terri
tory throughout the Slope for carrying on the propa-
Of service organization and 1t would be an nspr-
alton to organize these communities in civic and social
cooperation could be done under local Lion as dis
| trict chief.

Editorial Comment
THE YIELD OF THE ESTATE TAX
New York World)

According to Joseph Mccoy the government actuary
some 100000 estates with total value In Of five
billions pass annually BY death In the United States
In 1927 the last year for which data available the
Federal government received about 94 100000 In the
form Of estate taxes and the states imposing inheritance
taxes received nearly 30o00Ooo The proportion taken
out Of al nertances by taxation thus amounts to about
per cent Of their reported value. This Is surely
great burden and yet the total receipts from the Federal
estate from it inception In 1915 70 the end Of 1877
amounted to 4S72O00O00. That is 4 tidy sum to apply
amount could have been collected with little burden to
the redemption Of the national debt and no similar
the taxpayers
pty has been reflected In these estates and that the
yield Of the federal tax for this has been hodne
up better than normally would have been expected
after the reductions made by congress In 1925 The tax Is
thus causing OF the accctions Of wealth which the
whole community has had hand In bringing about to
be employed for the common benefit.
