Fifteen years ago, when the State
embarked upon it's extensive road

thought that about 5000 miles of hard

demands of the State and that the re-

Body Plunges from Fifth
Story of Building Into
Crowded Street, Narrowly
Missing A Pedestrian;
Congressman's Mother Ill,
Not Immediately Notified

Seattle, Aug 8.-(AP)-An in
coherent note found in the fifth floor
room from which Representative
Marion Anthony Zioncheck plunged
to his death today led the Coroner
to believe the playboy congressman
took his own life.
As the story was told by Coroner
Otto Mittelstadt, Zioncheck dashed
away from his brother-in-law, Will
liam Nadeau, who found him writing
q note and dived through a window
to the pavement.
Immediate death ended the career
of the youthful congressman, whose
eccentric capers made his name a
household word
1t was a downtown building and
the streets were busy with the usual
6 D. m traffic. The body justed miss
ed a pedestrian and fell within a few
teet OF the automobile where his bride
of four months was waiting.
From the evidence Coroner Mittel-
stadt said "all indications pointed to
Zionchecks death being a suicide"
but an inquest was ordered for Fri
day
The congressman wife, whom he
married only last April, was taken to
a hospital in an ambulance. His
mother, whose wish was said to have
caused him to change his mind and
run for reelection, has been ill lately,
and she was not Immediately notified
of his death.
The coroner quoted Nadeau as say
ing they both started to leave the Of
flee, but Ziencheck whirled and ran
IS feet to the window from which he
dived head first.
1T was horrible" MacFarlane said,
"I was walking along and the first
thing l knew, he landed at my feet"
A note found in the fifth floor room
of the Arctic building and apparently
written by Zioncheck, was quoted by
Coroner Otto Mittelstadt as reading
My only hope in life was to i'm
prove the conditions of an unfair eco
nomic system"
Persons who saw the 34-year-old
congressman fall from the window
said he apparently was killed instant
ly He fell soon after 6 p. m. g p. m
EST while the streets were crowded
Zioncheck had announced his with
drawal from the congressional race
last Saturday, but Monday had mailed
his declaration of candidacy on the
Democratic ticket.
The body was taken to the county
morgue, where Mittelstadt, after
brief investigation, said he believed
the congressman had committed sui
eide.

PLAN 1887 INCOME
BY CARE IN 1886

Poultrymen, says w. D. Buchan-
an, extension poultryman, State
College of Washington, are the most
fortunate of all farmers because
they are more independent of wea-
ther and are SO per cent respon-
sible for the size of their individ-
ual incomes.
Poultryrnen to secure the maxi.
mum returns from pullets, must
spend considerable time looking af-
ter their welfare, however. They
must guard against parasites and
diseases and see that the young
birds have the best possible grow
inc conditions. BY doing these
things in 1886 the poultryman is
insuring his income for 1887, MIR.
Buchanan says.
Following are a number OF peril
nent pullet pointers:
i. Pullets should have at least one
square foot for each bird in the
brooder house. They should have at
least five feet of eating space Tor
| 100 bullets during the growing per-
iod.
| 2. Pullets on range should have
at least one-fourth acre for each
100 birds; and each 100 should be
housed in one range shelter WIDELY
/ separated from others.
3. Pullets should have plenty OF
fresh air to insure good featherlng.
This means cross ventilation and an
open side to the brooder house, or
a covered range shelter with wire
walls
q. Pullets should have all the
green food they will eat. 1t is rich
in vitan1ins They must be stored
in the body during the growing
period, as they will be depleted as
soon as laying begins.
S. Pullets must be protected
against coccidiosis and round worms
by keeping yards and houses dry
Droppings must not be allowed tx
accumulate if tape worms are tt
be avoided.
6. Fowl pox and bronchitis arr
easy to fight if pullets are vaccln
ated between four and IL weeks o
age.
z. To protect against an inva
sion of leukemia Chg liver) an
! paralysis, pullets should not o
e raised within 200 feet of a layin
v house if the laying hens have eithe
: 4 of these diseases.
t 8. The holding capacity Of pull
). lets must be developed now by feed
ing them lots of green feed and a
the bulky food they can digest wit
Y aid of granite grit, so they can es
a enough later to produce the max
mum number of eggs.

State Restricts Traffic
On Certain Highways

Without precedent in North Caro-
lina's road history, every bitumin-
GUS surface-treated highway in the
State was closed for 80 days to all
truck traffic in excess of five tons
gross per vehicle, by order of the
State Highway commission, issued
Wednesday.
The order, affecting $500 miles of
highway, was issued because of the
condition of the roads resulting
from the recent extraordinary
weather conditions, which had done
an estimated 100000 damage to
the States roads and cost $1,OOO,OOO
in lost of gasoline tax.
''The sub-base of practically all
surface treated highways has been
so softened as to render heavy traf-
fc thereon destructive" said the
commission.
