and Fifteen Years Old
Asked to Come
PERFORMANCE IN MARCH

Boys and girls from 8 to Is
years old are asked to gather in
the Playmakers Theatre at 4
o'clock this (Friday) afternoon
to help Harry Davis make ready
for a production of "Cinderella. "
If Mr.. Davis could spare the
time he might go through the
village like the Pied Piper of
Hamelin, Turing the children
with a fute-or get Chapel Hills
champion futist, Lamar String
field, to do tin order to get a
good attendance. But that is
not practicable, and so he de-
pends upon this notice to bring
him a throng of actors and
actresses.
About 35 players will be re-
Quired, and the try-outs for the
parts will probably be held to-
morrow morning. Rehearsals
will begin early next week in
preparation for a performance
some time in March. The plans
call for three fantastic and COL
Orful stage settings and elabor-
ate costuming.
At this afternoons meeting
Mr.. Davis will read his own
dramatiZation of "Cinderella. "
He produced this and several
other juvenile plays when he
was director Of the Children s
Theatre in Columbia, S. G..
Many Chapel Hill children
have appeared with the Play
makers since they were organ
iZed about IA years ago. In their

better known to his friends as
Sandy Graham, will enter the

TaylOr's Extra Watch
Professor Acquires a Timepiece on
Visit to Charleston

George Coffin Taylor, accom-
panied by Mrs. Taylor, drove
down to Charleston a few days
ago to read a paper on Shakes
peare before the Poetry So
ciety.
Mrs Taylor, about to set out
from the home of her sister tC
visit her daughter, who is in
school in Charleston, found she
needed a time-piece. A friend
who happened to be present
said: Here's my dollar watch
I'll lend it to you"
When it came time for the
visitors to return home the
watch was nowhere to be found
"Well, all | know is that
brought it back here and put it
down right there" said Mrs
Taylor, pointing to the blank
surface of a mahogany table.
The mystery was solved the
next day here in Chapel Hill
when Mr.. Taylor placed his two
hands simultaneously into two
pockets and drew out simultan-
eOusly two dollar watches.

REDUCED PRICES
RECOMMENDEDBY
MILK COMMITTEE
Aldermen Thank investigators
And Say Neither Yes Nor
No to the Report
MOST DIARIES MAKE CUT

The committee appointed by
Mayor Council to make an in
yestigation into the price of milk
d. D. Carroll (chairman), R.
4. Eubanks, +. T. Browne, Carl
Durham, and r. c. Andrews
recommended to the aldermen
night before last this scale of
prices for both pasteurized and
Grade A raw milk: pint, Sc;
quart, 12l2c; gallon, 45c. The
recommendation is based on the
delivery of these quantities on
single trip.
Mr.. Carroll read the commit
tee's 5 report to the aldermen, and
then he and the other members
withdrew from the meeting.
From what | know of the sit
uation in general, and of the
financial condition Of some of
the dairymen,' said Alderman
NJ f. Hogan, Il do not care to
vote one way or the other on the
report
My idea is that this is a ques-
ton for the <dairymen to settle
for themselves" said Alderman
Clyde Eubanks. Our duty is
to see that the dairymen con-
form to certain sanitary stand
ards and give the public good
milk. 1t is not for the aldermen
to tell them what prices they
shall charge"
Il don't think this board is
called upon to take any action,
other than to thank the commit
tee and have the report spread
upon the minutes, sad Mayor
Council. "The members Of the
committee have gone to the
trouble to make a careful inves-
tigation and then to say what
they think is a fair price, which
fis what we asked them to do. 1t
is not the aldermen's function
to make any recommendation"
Upon the motion of Alderman
P. l.. Burch the board adopted a
resolution of thanks to the COM
mittee and directed the report to
be spread upon the minutes.

Major Charles H. Schoeffel, of

nous letter received by United

POLICE WAITING
L|NDY ORDER

NEW YORK, April II U.N.SO.
Police Commissioner Edward P.
Mulrooney and his $4,000 patrol
men and detectives are grimly
ting for the word that will
start them on the search for the
men to whom Prof. John Condor,
acting for Colonel Lindbergh, gave
$4,000 for return of the kidnapped
Lindbergh baby. Until that word
comes, the police and District At
tx ley Charles B. Mclaughlin are
adopting a "hands-off" policy.
If either Lindbergh or Condor
were to sign a complaint against
the men who have apparently
double crossed the Colonel, NC
Laughlin, Mulrooney and every
law enforcement agency in New
York would be thrown into fev-
erish activity.
Mclaughlin indicated that both
Lindbergh and Condor refused
to believe that they have been
duped. They feel that some un-
forseen hitch has developed in
the return of the baby and as
soon as the difficulty is obliter-
ated, the child will be brought
back to the home from which
it was taken Just AZ days ago.

Massie Slew NatiDe in Emotional Rage,
Seen as Defense Contention

stories, Darrow sat with a hand
cupped to his ear, straining to
hear.
At times his associates would
volunteer what was being testi-
fled, and Kelley occasionally
halted witnesses so he personally
might explain what was being
related.
To date, the relations between
opposing counsel has been meticu-
lousy polite.
The only ruling the court made
favored the defense. This arose
when Darrow objected to intro
duction as evidence a series Of
photographs showing the kidnap
sedan at the point on the road
where it was stopped by police,
and with a white circle on the
back indicating a bullet hole
from the pursuing officers gun.
Darrow protested:
anybody could take that
kind of a picture"
Judge Charles S. Davis replied:
"At the moment, see no
good reason for introduction Of
these pictures, but ruling does
not mean the prosecution can't
reopen the question later if the
exhibit has pertinent bear
ing"
In his opening statement, Kel-
ley stressed that Kahahawai as,
sertedly had been kidnapped from
the steps of the Judiciary Building
in which the trial is being held.
Ignores Massie Attack
Never once, though, during the
hour he took to outline his case,
did the prosecutor intimate that
back of the Staying charges was
the brutal attack upon Mrs. Mas
sic by five natives.
In calm, conversational tones
the young prosecutor told of the
kidnapping Of Kahahawai.
And then, with dramatic sud
denness, he pointed a finger al
the poised Mrs. ForteScue, as he
related how she gave the sigma
to her son-in-law and one of the
enlisted men now on trial, wher
the half-caste appeared at the
| Judiciary Building to make the
daily report, following his mistrial
with four others accused of at
tacking young Mrs. Massie.

ferently to the words Of the
Immediately attired prosecuting

LEGION IN D. c.
WANTS BONUS

District posts of the American

payment of the cash bonus"
At a meeting of the executive
committee of the Department Of
the District of Columbia, at
which all 26 posts were repre-
sented, the national executive
committee man, John Louis Smith,
was directed to vote for such
payment at the meeting Of the
national executive committee at
Indianapolis May 5.
If the motion does not prevail,
he was directed to move for an
immediate poll of all legion mem
bers on the question. The de-
partment commander, F. G..
Fraser, was also directed to pre-
sent this information to the
House Ways and Means Com

on to sill in the gaps in the story
of KahahaWaiS death. The single
weak link in the chain of EVIL
dence is the fact that there is no
known eyewitness to the shooting.
Among the other things that
Kelley hopes to establish is the
approximate hour of the shoot
ing through the testimony Of
Mrs. Tarleton and Mrs. Stickney.
They both have stated they be-
lieved they heard a shot in the
Fortescue home, where Kaha-
hawai- was presumably taken
after his kidnapping, about 9
o'clock on the morning of Janu-
ary 8.
To Testify AbOunt Wound
DR.. Faus was to testify concern
ing the wound that caused Kaha-
hawi's death Kelley has told
the jury that the native was sit
ting on the bed in Mrs. Fortes-
cues bedroom when the shot was
fired.
The bullet, he said, took a
downward course after Sever1ng
the pulmonary artery and caus-
ing swift internal hemorrhages.
Under the prosecutions recon
struction of the crime, Kama
hawai- was placed in the bathtub
at the Fortescue home in order
to prevent his blood from stain
ing the floor.
AS soon as he died, he was
stripped and his clothes placed
in the tub, the state contends.
These were later found IN a
bundle in the car with Kaha,
hawai's body.
Other Witnesses
In addition to Ulii, yesterdays S
witnesses were w. A. Dickson
court librarian, who told OF the
alarm given by Ulii; George Har'
bottle, detective who aided in the
arrests; Frank Sousa, newspaper
engraver, who identified photo
graphs, and William Hoopa1
former assistant police chief.
Ulii described with detail how
he, with his half-brother, arrived
at the courthouse and saw LORD
standing in the doorway. In
broken English, he said:
"T saw a roadster parked in
the driveway with Mrs. FOrteScue
at the wheel. When Kahahawai
came out, she pointed at us.
Then a larger car drove up
and Jones showed Kahahawai
what seemed to be a legal
warrant"
A moment afterward, Ulii said.
Lord and Kahahawai entered
the sedan and the witness never
saw him alive again.
Once during the session DarroW

great effort to free the defend

HEARINGS
ON TAX BILL,
SENATE AIM
Speed Sought, However, to
Get Earliest Action Possible;
Sale Levy Urged Anew

Full public hearings on the
proposed two billion dollar
Federal tax bill were assured
today as the Senate Finavce
Committee voted, 13 to 5, to
continue the calling of wit
nesses opposed to the various
provisions of the House reve-
nue. act.
The committee agreed to close
the hearings April %, as asked
by the Democratic members of
the committee, but voted 10 to 6
against a resolution by Senator
Couzens (RD, of Michigan, to
divide the membership into sub
committees to expedite the hear
ing of witnesses.
Speed Is Aim
To speed the hearings the COM
mittee voted unanimously a mo-
ton by Senator Harrison CD,
Of Mississippi, to insist upon the
appearance of witnesses when
called or their elimination.
Witnesses appeared todaoy to
protest against sections referring
to the taxes levied against cor
porationS and mines.
r. c. Fulbright, Houston. Tex,
representing the American Sui
phur Royalty Company, and the
Southern Pine Association, com
planned the bill gave the Internal
Revenue Bureau unlimited au,
thority in fixing the value of
newly acquired or discovered de,
poSitS.
Victor K. Houston, delegate in
Congress from Hawaii, asked for
the elimination of the sections
which would tax the salaries of
Federal employees in Hawaii and
Alaska.
Sales Tax Advocated
Speaking for the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce, David A,
Gaskill said his organization op-
posed the high rates in the House
income tax provisions and securi-
ties. He proposed the sales tax
defeated by the House before the
present bill was written.
In a Democratic caucus pre-
sided over by Minority Leader
Robinson Of Arkansas, it was
agreed to avoil general considera-
ton of tariffs and expedite pass
age of the revenue bill in every
possible way. Robinson said:
I'VE are anxious to let the
country know what it has to
face as soon as possible"
He intimated the President
may propose some changes in he
tax bill as passed by the House
and said such changes would be
advanced as promptly as practi-
cal"
Oil Tariff Likely
He also intimated the one cent
a gallon duty on oil contained in
the House bill might pass in the
Senate, but said there was gen.
eral opposition to the tariff on
coal.

THOMAS HOLDS
CASH BONUS
IS SREMEDY
Would Promote Initiation, He
Says, Which In PanaCea
for Cash Crisis

Declaring that initiation
alone can restore prosperity,
Senator Thomas (D.) of Okla
homa, today urged the House
committee to recommend cash
payment Of the soldiers bonus.
Thomas, who leads the cash.
payment advocates in the Sen
ate, offered plan different
from that of Representative Pat.
man 3D., of Texas, but both are
designed to increase the cur
rency.
Under the Thomas plan, bonds
would be issued to Federal Re
serve banks, which in turn would
issue notes to veterans to pay
their service certificates. He said:
1--WE have the least amount
of money in actual circula-
tiOn that we have had since
before the world war. It is
my contention that no relief
is possible until we bring down
purchasing power of the dol
lar"
A fervent plea for payment was
made to the committee today by
the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, the
radio priest" of Detroit. He as
serted it would not only relieve
needy veterans but would stimu-
late industry and finance.
Explaining the opposition of
the American Legion convention
at Detroit to cash payment at
this time, he made plain the
Legionnaire's who voted had
money to pay their hotel bills
while poorer former service men
could not attend the convention.
He added:
Nevertheless l believe the
veterans would have stuck to
their promise to President
Hoover if circumstances had
not changed. When Congress
quickly passed the $2,OOO,OOO,-
900 reconstruction finance bill
to aid banks and tOttering rail-
roads the mental attitude of
the American people and the
American Legion underwent a
change. This statement is
based on 100000 letters which
reflect the change to which 1
am referring.
Trade to Benefit
"They said, If the Govern
ment can pay S2,OOO,OOO,OOO to
the bankers and railroads, why
can't they pay the sOldiers?'"
He said most of the bonus
money would be used to pay gro
Ger, butcher and doctor bills, and
said further:
"It would be $4,000, 100000
sent into channels of trade
and commerce"
He expressed his hope that this
money would compel revalua-
ton of the dollar on its 1929
level.
He said cash payment of the
bonus probably would throw the
United States off the gold stand
ard, but added that this would
be a good thing because it would
result in higher commodity prices.
SOmbre Prediction
Concluding, he said:
1--WE have given financial
blood transfuSiOnS in the last
two years, and we will soon
have a corpse on our hands
for we have given the last trans
fusion in the last financial con-
struction corporation, and 1t
did not correct our basic trOu-
ble."
He asked the committee to re-
member the revolution of France
as we'll as the Revolutionary War
in this country. In concluding he
said that he did not appear as
a representative of the Catholic
church but spoke for himself.
