'T'm not telling you anything.
II l have to hang I'll hang by
myself"
This was the answer snapped
at a Montgomery county police.
man last night by Raymond Lang,
81, owner of a cottage a short
distance away from the scene of
the death of Wilmer Lee Jet,
when asked where his wife was.
Lang was arrested last night
and removed to the Rockville
Jail where he is being held for
investigation in connection with
the death of Jett, whose body
was found Monday night on the
Glen Echo street car tracks.
Nine ReveIers Questioned
Lang, according to Mont
gomery county Detective Theo-
dore F. Vollten, was host at a
party Monday night at which
Jett was a guest. Nine men and
women were rounded up by po-
lice led by Vollten, working from
local police headquarters. They
were rushed to Montgomery
county and questioned separately.
All who had attended the
party with the exception of
Lang told identical stories. Twice
police led the group to the mur-
der scene in an effort to re-
construct the events that led
up to Jett's death.
Jett, after. a few drinks be-
came unruly, witnesses told police,
and wanted to fight saying he
was formerly prize fighter. He
finally left the party and Lang
and two of the women followed
him to the tow-path. A few
minutes later Lang returned and
said his eye was sore. Witnesses
cannot remember whether he said
he had been hit or not.

Fear of embarrassing their
husbands made the women keep
silent they told police.
Those questioned and released
were:

and their daughter Leona, IA. Ma

and are offering to pay their de-
positors only 5 per cent TO- 20 per
cent on the dollar. Everyone
knows that Salisbury is worse off
than most of these banks. While
we are having reconstruction all
over the world we should cancel
all of these papers and refnance
the town over a period of some
50 years 30 it would not keep all
manufacturing industries out Of it
on account of being taxed to
death. 1t would not keep a man,
who owns his home, working night
and day to try to pay off some
thing he had nothing to do with
putting on him but was done by a
lot of selfish politicians, most of
whom owned no property in the
city. When they got their rake-of
they did not care how the taxpay-
ers would get along with the load.
81 I am in favor of all City
Councilmen and Mayor working
without any salary during this de-
pressed time. Men who cannot
spare enough time and serve their
city free of charge should not be
elected as every penny spent un-
necessarily is working a hardship
on the taxpayers.
az l am in favor of running
the town on an economical basis
the same as other industries. The
taxpayers money should be as sacr-
ed as our own money, but of course
have become like a good
many of our big bankers and as
long as the public will stand for
them to spend the money for any
thing they wish they will continue
to do so.
I pledge myself, if you give
your support and I am elected, to
do all in my power to carry out
the above. Our city should be the
largest city in North Carolina, but
on account of cheap politicians and
high tax rates all industries have
gone to other towns and we people
who have our investments in our
town cannot get away and we have
to be dictated to by people, most
of whom do not own any proper
ty at all.
Very truly yours,
w. F. McCANLESS.

 Farmers are entitled to vaca- tlons" says Ray T Kelsey, editor or the Ohio Farmer, under whose sponsorship the Ohio contingent IS traveling, and this is the sec ond of many projected vacation tours for farmers.
 Fair Visited
 ;. G. Watson, Editor of the New England Homestead, planned the itinerary of the group to include the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago, a trip over the Bur ling,on along the Mississippi into S.. Paul and Minneapolis, and then Wes. to Seattle, taking in Rainier National Park on the way.
 Alaska Trip
 The Alaska portion of the trip includes Ketchikan, Wrangel, Ju- neau, Skagway, Sitka, and south to Vancouver, B. c. From there, the trip will be homeward via Jas per National Park on the Canad- ian National.
 Returning Confidence
 The size and expense Of the trip indicates some measure of re- turning confidence among farmers of the East and Middle West, and hsralds a new feeling of well-be- ing among farmers in general h. crcasing values of farm products and a loosening in market condi- ticas have contributed a great deal toward making agriculturists feel that they can safely dig down in their pockets to enjoy a vacation of this sort. says the tour spons- ors.
