the school. while the Rev. Father
Harris became the academic head
of the school.
During his years in the school,
Father Harris contributed to
make it one of the most unusual
institutions of its kind in the
educational field. He was a
teacher of unusual ability, with
"a capacity for getting along
with, and developing boys. He
was beloved by all the students,
and was known for his dcvout
and sanity character, linked with
his practical characteristics and
capacity for hard work.
Rev. Father Harris had been
in failing health for some time
and had made it practice to
go to New Orleans. to be with his
daughter, Mrs. J. II. Thomas,
during the hard winter months.
Meantime, owing to a develop
ment of heart trouble, he had
been under care Of Ashcville
specialists. 1t was for treatment
for this that he had gone to the
New Orleans infirmary, where he
died on Tuesday.
Rev. Father Harris is survived
by his widow, who was before
marriage Miss Emily Ryan Of
Alabama; one daughter, Mrs;
Thomas of New Orleans; and
three sons: David, hcadmastcr of
Christ school; Donald r. Harris
of Spartanburg, and Charles K.
Harris of Niagara Falls, n. Y.
David Harris, it was said yes

on as headmaster of Christ
school, and the Rev. Mr.. Martin,
young priest who has been living
on the school grounds and has
been serving as assistant rector,
will become rector Of the school,

DOUBT RAISED
IVAN KREUGER
WAS SUICIDE
Senator REYNOLDS Gets AID.
mission Witness Didn't
See Him Dead

WASHINGTON. Jan. IL. CUP)
Assets of the crumbling lYar
Kreugcr enterprises were depicted
today before the senate stock
market investigating committee as
having been progressively sy,
phoned" into Sweden "whilc the
liabilities were dumped into Amer
ica."
WASHINGTON. Jan. ~. (UP)
The collapse of the financial EN-
pire that Ivar Kreuger built on
match sticks was described yester-
day and the charge was brought
that thousands Of American in
veStors were swindled.
A picture of the Swedish fran,
cier harassed by debt and bowed
down almost to the point of In
sanity under the weight of eco
nomic adversely was drawn pc
fore the senate banking and cur
rency committee investigating the
Kreuger and Toll failure.
And the hint ran through the
committee room that Kreuger's
suicide in Paris may have been O
, hoax and that somewhere he walks
the earth alive, hiding from the
consequences of his financial fol
ly.
But even as they raised the
ghost Of the man who drew mil
lions of the public's money into
his enterprises, there was present
an American who testified he was
in Paris on the fatal day and that
there was no doubt Kreuger died
a suicide.
That man was Donald Durant,
partner in the Lee Higginson &
Co., investment bankers who float
ed $26,5O0,00O of Kreuger and
Toll bonds in the United States.
81 believe he is dead" Durant
said in reply to a question by John
Marrinan, committee investigator,
regarding the rumors Kreuger was
still alive. 81 was in Paris on the
day of his death. l was awaiting
a conference with him March -.
He did not appear. He committed
suicide"
"Did you see him after he
died?" insisted Senator Reynolds,
DEM, n. G.
Durant had not.
"Then you don't know whether
he is alive or dead persisted
Reynolds.
A. D. Burning of Ernst and
Ernst, public accountants. told
how Kreuger resorted to shabby
lies and evasions and became
more and more confused" in at
tempting TO explain a German
bond transaction. He said 1.-The
explanation Kreuger gave me
either was that of a sick man OF
one not in his right mind"

JAPANESE BUY $S,OOO,OOO WORTH
OF ARMS in EUROPE; MAKING
READY TO FIGHT RUSSIANS

the last possibility that Japan
might sign a pact of non-aggreS-
sion with Russia, it was made
clear today.
Stains declaration that devel-
opments in the Far Feast, par
ticularly in Manchuria, have
forced Russia to speed up inc
manufacture of munitions and
other war materials caused aston
ishmcnt in official quarters. =,
A government spokesman told
the United Press Stains attitude
showed that. throughout the time
Moscow was appealing 10 TOKYO
to accept the non-aggresslVe pact
the Soviet leaders were shifting
their whole industrial program IN
preparation for war.
Furthermore, the spokesman
declared that the demand from
japanese military leaders for large
approximations in the current bud
get was due primarily to the
knowledge of this significant
change in the Soviet program.
There was no indication at the
Gaimusho foreign office how
ever, that Japan intended to sew
err diplomatic relations due to
these developments. On the con-
trary. it was intimated that the
government would proceed as tho
nothing had happened, at leaSt UNI
til another move occurs, and Will
agree TO the naming of Constan-
tine Yurenev as Soviet ambassa-
dor to Japan in February. ,
The Stain speech. which caused
mounting concern in Tokyo, was
delivered last Saturday to the
plenary session of the central eX-
ecutive committee of the Commu-
mist party, the highest group IN

ANOTHER CUT
NOW LOOMING

for salaries of school teachers,
county superintendent and their
assistants and ianitors in 1881
so, the saving that would accrue
from these reductions would
amount to more than $2,000,000,
applied to the six months school
term alone.
These figures do not include
the S271,419 a year being paid
school bus drivers from the six
months school term fund, nor the
100000 more in salaries paid
to teachers by the counties for
teaching in schools having more
than the six months cshool term.
Indications are, however, that
the budget commission report
will also recommend further sal
airy reductions for all state en-
ployes in addition to employees of
the state school system, although
the exact amount Of the reduc-
ton to be recommended for other
state employees has not been
learned. Indications are, how
ever, that the cuts recommended
for these others will not be as
large as for the school forces,
since all state employees, includ-
ing all professors and instructors
in state educational institutions
other than the public schools,
have already had their salaries
reduced from 20 to 40 per cent.
The only reduction made in the
salaries of public school teach
ers and superintendtnts was the
10 per cent reduction made by
the 1881 general assembly.
Serious doubt is expressed by
number of members of the
general assembly as to whether
the recommendations of the bud
get commission will be carried
out as made. The prevailing
temper of the general assembly,
however, is to cut governmental
expenses to the bone and most
observers believe the assembly
will make a cut of at least 10
per cent in all public school eX-
penditures. Others believe that
the assembly will be likely to
follow out the recommendations
of the budget commission and
reduce teachers salaries as much
as Is per cent and the salaries
and expenses of superintendent
by as much as % per cent Will
be recommended.

RALEIGH, Jan. pa bill Of

mortgages. 1t was introduced by
Representatives Crews of Forsyth,
Watson of Nash, Moore of Gull

Though decidedly technical
sounding in it's phlaseology, the
bill in substance would make it
impossible for the holder of a
mortgage on any property to OBJ
tain more than the actual piece
of property involved under the
mortgage under foreclosure. Ac-
cording to the present law,
mortgage holder may not only re-
cover the piece of property in
volved but may also get a de-
ficiency against the mortgage fog
