FRANK MARLOE
 RETURNING TO
 NEW YORK CITY
Stubborn Prisoner at l,ast Consents to Be Taken
 on ExtraditiOn

Held prisoner by local police for mo2e than a month and refusing all during that time to waive extradi- ton and return to New York City, Frank Mario, 28, finally weakened to-day and consented toeo back to the metropolis to face charges of jumping bond in 1892, of burglary and larceny. He went back to New York in custody of Detective Ray mond Studwell, who arrived here to-day with extradition papers sign cd by Governor Wilbur Cross of this state and Governor Herbert Lehman of New York.
 Had Refused to Go
 Only last Thursday night, extra dition papers were served on Mar To in his police headquarters cell by the New York detective, but the suspect refused to go to the Em- pire State. It was necessary for the detective to return to-day, when Mario was slated for another city court arraignment on charges of being fugitive from justice,
 But to-day, Mario told Judge Miles McNiff, who was presiding in the absence of Judge John F. Me- Grath and Judge Edward Masco- To. that he was willing to go to New York. Hence no court order was necessary.
 Arrested August IF
 Mario was arrested here August 12th by Patrolman aPtrick Moylan and Fred Hickey of the vice squad on q warrant charging him with as- sault. His fingerprints were sent to New York and Mario was identified as Frank Lonardelli. who was wanted there for skipping bail. and to face charges of burglary and larceny. The local charge against Mario was dropped by po- lice.
 The suspect will be arraigned in Kings County court, New York, and @aces a long prison term.

Feb. II. 1673-Jean Baptiste Poque-
lin, known as Moliere, 81, died of an
illness that seized him as he was play
ing the leading role in his play, The
Imaginary Invalid.
His plays live on, notably Tartuffe,
deathless portrait of a hypocrite.
Because he was an actor as well as
Frances greatest dramatist, he could
not be given Christian burial, and his
body had 20 be placed in an unmarked
grave.
Feb. II, 1801-Thomas jefferson was
elected President by the House of
Representatives.
Electors split the Republican vote,
gave 73 votes to Thomas Jefferson, 73
votes to Aaron Burr, and defeated
John Adams, second President for re-
election There being a tie, the cleo
ton WAS thrown into the lower house
of Congress. Representatives of 10
states voted for Jefferson, four for
Burr. and they became the first Demo
cratic President and Vice President,
respectively. In the beginning, the
Democratic Party was called the Re-

Street to offer such pension in 1885
is an insult to every intelligent Anne

ed to the committee. We are now try
believe is accurate and upon which
the different ones can agree. Until we
do this, it will not be possible for us
to agree on the amount of the ap-
preparation for the public schools"
There is no doubt that the apprO-
preparations committees want to pro-
vide for an increase of at least 25
per cent in the salaries Of the teach
ers and principals and some increase
for superintendent and other school
activities. In fact most of the men,
bers of these committees would be
glad to appropriate $22,OOO,OO0 or even
$25,OOOOO0 for the schools if it be-
| lieved the State could provide the re-
venue for such appropriations. But
the chairmen and members of the
appropriations committees are keep
ing in very close touch with what
| the finance committees are doing and
know that at the present time the
requested appropriations total abou.
$34,5OO,OO0 while only about $31 1,OOO,-
900 is in sight from the revenue bin
| even with the sales tax left in it,
be scaled down $3,5OOOOO or the re-
venue bill increased by like amount
since the two must balance before
they can be enacted.
There is little doubt, however, that
the appropriations committees will
recommend an appropriation for
schools sufficient to grant teachers
ana principals a salary increase of
70 per cent, especially since the COM
mittee has tentatively approved the
requested appropriation for the Uni
versity of North Carolina. which pro-
Vldes 25 per cent increase for al
most all items, including salaries. But
present indications are that the COM
mlttees Will confine this increase to
teachers and principals, who are now
getting the lowest salaries and not
extend it all the way through to the
supeE;ntendents, although the super
intendents will undoubtedly get some
increase.
The average salary now paid TO
teachers, according to the figures of
the school forces, is only $64O q wear.
"A 25 ner cent increase would give
them $3.50 year more and bring the
average salary up to $500 a year.
which most people agree is still much
smaller than it should be. The aver
age salary of city and county super
lntendents, however, is about $4,000 a
year. A 25 per cent increase on this
amount would be $500 a year, or more
than the average salary of a teacher
now and only 500 less than the av
erage teachers salary of $500 a wear
II the 70 per cent increase is granted
mere is no doubt but that the ap-
preparations committees and most of
the members of the General Assembly
are IN sympathy with the school teach
ers and principals. But it is not evil
dent that they think the superinten-
dents, now getting from three to five
Clnes as much as teachers, need as
much increase.

Compulsory Auto
Insurance Rated
AS Impractlcable

Chapel Hill, Feb. 16.-Compulsory
automobile insurance, which is being
advocated by some people, is not the
remedy which North Carolina needs
in its campaign to reduce automobile
accidents and fatalities, D. der. Scott.
we'll known and real estate man of
Chapel Hill and Graham, said here
Wednesday night in an address be-
fore the Chapel Hill Rotary Club.
The compulsory plan has not met
with success in Massachusetts, where
it has been given a thorough trial.
for a check-up has shown that at
least 10000 cars in that state are not
insured, and it is costing that state
a large sum to try to round up these
"bOOtleggers," Mr.. Scott said.
The cost of compulsory insurance is
SO high in Massachusetts,, he said, that
the premium on the lowest priced cars
run from SAT to $67 a year.
1t is agreed by all insurance men
that the rates on automobile insur-
ance in North Carolina Is bound to
go up soon unless something is done
to reduce the number of accidents,
Mr. Scott said
