Man in Custody Believed
Eyewitness to Two
Hotel Murders.

Police revealed last night that
Henry G. Carter, arrested several days
ago, is thought to have been in the
Houston Hotel room where Sam Mel
incov and Bryant Mcmahon, Wash
ington gamblers, were fatally wound
ed a week ago yesterday.
At the time he was taken into GUS
tody it was announced that his only
connection with the case arose from
his having telephoned for medical
assistance for the two men.
The new disclosure, which was ac-
companied by the announcement that
Carter has a police record dating back
to 1916, gives him a more important
role in the investigation.
Also being held is Thomas F. Tobin,
described as a Norfolk. Va, rack
eteer, who was arrested soon after
the gunf1re brought police on run

ised the inquest would prove very

CALIFORNIA SOWING THE WIND

California is apparently already beginning 10
reap the whirlwind for its folly in toying with the
pernicious sociaHstc theories of Upton Sinclair
The state even now is being overrun by the
unemployed, who planning to get in on the
ground floor for any largess which may be passed
out in the event of Mr.. Sinclar's election as gov
ernor of the Golden State next month.
And apparently also they think it is going to
be available on the morning after the first Tues
day after the first Monday
In addition to the problem of this great influx
of the unemployed, who are said to be entering
the state at the rate of hundred day, Cali
fornia is up against the problem of great mass
of illegal voters, as result of this new immgra-
ton to the state.
In Los Angeles alone the attorney general finds
24,1S6 registrations which bear the marks of be-
ing fraudulent.
Sinclair's extravagant promises of the end o.
poverty by the mere waving of some sort of magic
wand are certainly impossible of fulllment in any
such manner as he has planned.
And California will be likely to add to its in
dustral and social problems if it toys further with
Upton Sinclair's fantastic theories-Rock Hill, S.
c., Herald.
