among which was box which he
discovered contained $4,000 Of
the Lindbergh ransom money.
1t is through this story that
Hauptmann hopes to be freed.
Louis Bitter, Fisch's lawyer,

he said. And Henry Uhlig, friend
of Hauptmann and Fisch, also

that the government would save

AIR RACES AT

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 15.-(UP).
The 1885 All-American air races
advertised Miami's winter sun
shine this year at a cost OF TOUR
lives and $4,000.
An airplane collision late yes
terdav near Murfreesboro, Tenn,
brought to four the number of
deaths chargeable to the races,
mart of this city's vast program
to publicize its June-in-January
weather.
Although the air meet itself,
ranking second to the Cleveland
air races in Importance, was with
out accident, four men died in
crashes while flying to and from
Miami.
The human toll in four days
this year was more than one-fifth
the cost the government paid to
take over the air mail for two
months.
Publicity being one of the chief
purposes of the Miami air show,
it is always held in January at
the outset of the winter tourist
season.
Flying weather is at its worst
in January. Many hangar doors
are closed in eastern and mid
western states. An air show in
Miami and newsreel pictures of
men in tropical suits attracts the
attention of the snow bound
north.

MANY INSANE
PAR0LED FOR
LACK OF FUNDS
John Ewbank Says State
Parsimonious in Financ-
ing Care Of Insane

John Ewbank; one Of the direc-
;ors Of ne state hospital for the
insane at Morganton, says that
this institution is being operated
cheaper than any institution for
the insane in the United States,
in comparison with any other
state institution, or government
institution. Mr.. Ewbank states
that it costs he federal govern
men an average of over $3.50 per
capita to care for the insane in
it's charge, and that the national
average for state institutions is
over $3.50 while the cost at Nor
canton is only S126. Mr.. Ew-
bank says that if the State of
North Carolina is to continue to
persue it's liberal policy towards
this class of it's wards it should
provide for and make larger ap-
preparations.
This hospital, Mr.. Ewbank says,
now has on it's books over 27OO
unfortunates in the insane class
and that the hospital at no time
can house them all. Many are on
parole and something like 100
average are maintained in the
county jails over the district. Mr..
Ewbank says a properly regulated
parole system is necessary and
desirable, but at no time should
insane people be confined in
county jails. 1t costs more, he
maintains, to care for them in
jails. and that the same care and
correctional procedure can not
be had in county iails where no
preparation is made for this class
of patient. 1t was never intend
ed that they should be placed in
Jail except for safe keeping until
they can be transferred to the
hospital. However, lack of
funds and space at the Morgan
ton hospital make it impossible to
take care of all worthy cases. MIR.
Ewbank says that the paroles are
probably too numerous but are
necessitated by lack of funds and
space at the Mcrganton institu-
ton.

mony of the state in dealing with

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. (UP)
President Roosevelt will transmit

House announced this morning.
The program will call for unem-

1t is one of the most important

DRAINAGE IDEA
IS BEING GIVEN
Vide SUPPORT.
Fletcher and Etowah Will
Hear Details of Rehabili-
tation Program

The drainage and rehabilitation
program for the county, initiated
by the county commissioners and
first submitted to the people at
a meeting at Mills River school
house last Friday night, is meet
ing with very general approval,
leaders of the movement said
today.
The Mills River meeting almost
unanimously endorsed the plan,
and that gathering initiated a pc
tition requesting federal, state
and IVA authorities to approve
and aid the people of the county
in putting through this plan. Pc
titions were put in circulation at
the Mills River meeting. The first
of these to be returned was circu-
lated by G. x. Thompson, who re-
sides out from Hendersonville on
the road to Dana. Mr.. Thompson
worked only half a day securing
signatures and returned the paper
Saturday afternoon with the
names of 100 signers. Others cir
culating petitions have been
equally successful. - 5i-,...
Petitions have not yet been
placed in. the greater part of the
county, but this distribution will
be made in a few days. In the
meantime, citizens desiring to
volunteer to get signers for the
petition, may get copies at the
offices of the county commission
ers.
The French Broad Valley asso-
citation, through it's secretary,
Prof. G. D. White, announces that
plans are being made in the val
ley for public meetings at Fetch
er and Etowah and for a vigorous
campaign with the petition
throughout the valley area.
1t is said that many citizens
who previously signed petition
asking for the building of the
Bent Greek dam will sign the
drainage petition, as they give
preference to that development
program. They take the position
that IVA and the federal govern
ment should expend some money
and do something for the improve
ment and upbuilding of Hender-
son and Pennsylvania counties;
and they prefer that the section
be left intact and that a program
of AGRICULTURAL development in
stead of water impounding be
adopted.
