Methodists Plan
To Obtain Lake
Junaluska Area
Legal Steps to. Acquire
Title in Property Being
Arranged

ASHEVILLE, Feb. illegal
steps necessary to clearing the
title of the Methodist Assembly
properties at Lake Junaluska and
preparing the way for the South
ern Methodist church to take over
the title are being arranged, 1t
has been learned here.
E. A. Cole, of Charlotte, chair
man of the board of directors of
Lake Junaluska, told the Assoc
lated Press that the recent fore
closure sale in Waynesville was
necessary in order to establish a
clear title to the properties.
Mr.. Cole said that as result
of negotiations now being COM
pleted all bonds against the prop
erty probably will be taken care
of and a clear title can be secur-
| ed.
E. M. Durham, 3rd, of st.
Louis, submitted the high bid of
$4,000 for the properties at a
foreclosure sale in Waynesville
last week. He represented the
holders of $4,000 in first mort
gage bonds, who also were due
accrued interest. The mortgage
covered all the properties of the
Junaluska Methodist Assembly,
Inc, and Southern Assembly, Inc.
| The sale is subject to court
confirmation the latter part of
this week. Before confirmed the
bid may be raised by anyone.
James Atkins, superintendent
and receiver of the Assembly
properties, said yesterday at
Waynesville that he had been in
communication with high officials
of the church recently in an eff
fort to work out some arrangn-
ment for re-fnancing the proper
ties.
The Assembly grounds were
established in 1914 under direc-
tion of the late Bishop Atkin,
with the purpose of developing
the property and finally turning
it over to the Southern Methodist
church.

Coast5guardsmen's $
Work Wins Praise
For Heroic Deeds

NEWBERN. Feb. ii. (UP)--
Coast guard cutters, Good Sa-
maritans of the Sea, are the line
men on a football team-they
work quietly and hard and get
little attention except when .un-
told conditions cause their eX-
ploits to be publicized.
Now. with ice and snow block
ing the harbors and river mouths,
with an angry winter wind churn-
inc the waters of the ocean into
foamy mountainous waves, with
shipping along the coast weather
bound, coast guardsmen are re-
celying recognition for tasks
which often go unnoticed.
From the quiet waters of More
head City harbor the cutter Ira
Wis huffed and puffed IN the At
lantic coast last week, turned its
PROV into the frozen wastes Of
Chesapeake bay and tried vainly
to carry food and fuel to little
isolated islands off the mainland
where helpless natives faced star
vation.
Headlines screamed the news
of their expedition and called the
venture heroic.
But it was only routine, coast
guardsmen said.
Ties to the dock at Newbern,
her FURNISHED rails glittering in
the sun, her deck as white as the
floes of ice which this winter
have floated her, is the Pamllco.
She is sturdy and staunch. There
is the appearance of concealed
power as her engines, first idling,
then gaining momentum, spin her
out to sea with her stacks .belch-
ing great volumes of smoke.
The Pamlico has been stationed
here since 1907. Every year ii
has been the same-answerlns
mercy calls to ships in distress
in the storm-drenched waters OF
the Atlantic.
But no book has been written
about her and very little news.
Last year the Pamlico steamed
from it's docks here to answer 81
calls for assistance from boats IN
inland waterways. Since July l
1885, she has gone to the aid OF
II boats in distress.
1t was the Pamlico which locat
ed the little oyster boat, The Vic
tor, and uncovered u gruesomC
tale of four men who. died witt
! it when the Victor capsized il
Pamlieo river last month.
| Reports show the coast guards
men have done almost everything
from dragging for bodies to look
ing for lost children.
In the little hooks and necks O.
shallow waters where fishermen
dip their nets and tie their little
! boats, the Pamlico is known anC
called for all kinds of assistance
! Only the Pamlico is equippet
! for service in this section of shall
! low water and treacherous shoals
1t draws but little over. five fee
of water as it floats docked here
waters tapping it's sturdy sides
1t can steam through shallow wa
ters where larger boats woulC
! fear to tread.
! Coast guardsmen, like firemen
answer false alarms, too.
Last summer, two frantic par
ents asked the guardsmen to fine
their two boys, believed to be~los
at sea in frail skiff.

WPA DROPS 400
FROM PAYROLLS

ASHEVILLE, Feb. 14.-Be-
cause of a lack of funds, COM
pletiOn of some projects and bad
weather conditions the Works
Prograss administration has been
forced to remove approximately
400 persons from its payroll in
the eighth district during the past
week and approximately 100 9th
ers have found private employ
ment, it was learned yesterday.
WPA officials said that it was
expected that the rolls would be
further reduced by March l. An
order has been given for reduc-
ton of 10000 in the number en-
ployed in North Carolina by the
WPA. The eighth districts share
of this cut would be roughly l.
500. Although there are eight
WPA districts in the state, APP
proximately one sixth of the re-
lief load is in the eighth district.
Money for projects is being de-
pleted because of the bad wealth
er, it was explained at district
headquarters. During the past
two months men on outside pro-
jects have been able to put IN
only about one-third of the time
they were paid for.
With funds getting low, the
WPA found that if the projects
were to be completed it would
have to reduce the amount of the
payroll. Although time lost with
in a payroll periods days
may be made I'D during that per-
iod, there has been so much bad
weather that this has been impos-
sible.
Many of the workers thus re-
lieved of employment have visited
city hall during the week at
tempting to be put on other pro-
jectS. When it is possible to be-
gin work on the Asheville-Hen-
dersonville airport improvements
at Fletcher it is probable that
several hundred will be given en-
ployment. Word to start the pro-
ject is awaited from Washington,

COUNTY SETS
TAX RECORD

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, June 27.-Setting an all-time
record for high percentage of col
lections since Arlington county's
tax levieS neared the three quarter
million dollar mark, County Treas
urer Charles T. Jesse announced
today that more than 80 per cent
Of the total levieS for the tax
year of 1885 had been collected.
With more than $56O.0OO now
collected, the outstanding bills yet
to be paid total $143,853. The
total levy was $7O9 GOT.
Mr.. Jesse pointed out that all
bills not paid by June 80 would
then begin TO carry the interest
rate of six per cent in addition to
the five per cent penalty that was
added to the bills not paid before
Nov. 80, 1885.
The deadline to escape the in
tereSt rate baing added to the tax
bills was originally June Is, but
was extended to June 80 by a
State law.
This extension makes the dead
line coincide with the fiscal year
of the county's budget, which is
July l to June 80.

In line with the decision to COM

ance, pending negotiations. Mean

District Attorney Garnett, who
at first professed to have no ad-
vance knowledge of Kappels re-
lease, said today:
THE case was nOlle pressed
for lack of evidence. At the
time of the indictment we felt
there was not sufficient evil
dence to go to trial. So the
case was delayed while men,
bers of our office and the police
sought to obtain additional evi.
dence to justify going to trial.
with the summer recess
coming on we did not feel we
were justified in holding Kap-
pei on the evidence we have.
Two or three weeks ago Mr..
Robb informed me of the stand
ing of the case, and said that
he believed it should be
quaShed, and I told him 1
agreed with him and to do so
unless additional evidence was
received"
Late yesterday afternoon Charles
E. Ford, attorney for Kappei, ap.
peared at the District Jail with the
release order signed by Miss B. E,
Nathan, assistant to Frank E.
Cunningham, clerk of District
Court of the United States for
the District of Columbia.
Kappel was told to get his cloth.
ing and other possessions and
leave the jail a free man.
Miss Lynch, a telephone oper-
ator, was found shot to death in
her home at 918 Fourth st. N. E.,
where Kappel was a roomer. Kap-
pei himself called police.
Miss Lynch had been shot
through the head, and pistol
was found near her body, while
several broken chairs indicated
there had been a fight.
Kappel told police he left the
place around midnight with a
friend, went to several downtown
drinking places and finally went
to "a Maryland resort, returning
about 6 a. m. and finding the
body.

Constant outbreaks Of trouble
among the boys confined at the
Maryland state House Of Reforma-

ham, Md, during the last six
months has given rise to numerous
complaints from residents Of that
section against what they deem in
competent management of the in
stitution.
County police stationed at Upper
Marlboro yesterday said they had
received several complaints re-
Gently that the boys, all of whom
are under 16 years Of age, were
constantly fighting among them
selves and that there had been
several attempts to break out of
the farm. Police said, however,
they had never been called on for
help and had taken no action be-
cause the school is a State institu-
ton.
Several residents have COM
planned that the apparent lack of
control over the boys constitutes
a menace to the neighborhood and
that If something isn't done to
correct the evil, they will appeal
to State authorities in Baltimore.
Police yesterday said that the
most recent outbreak occurred last
Tuesday night when nine boys, in
attempting to escape from the
school, beat one of the guards so
severely that he was sent to
hospital. Two of the boys were
shot before the outbreak was
quelled.
No report of the incident was
made to The county police and
States Attorney Alan Bowie said
two days later that he had heard
nothing of it, but that he would in
