GUARDED

MANSFIELD, Ohio April Z.
While funeral arrangements were
being made today for Jean
Moorehead, 17-year-old high
school girl, a heavy police guard
was placed over the cell Of
Charles Wilson, 23-year-old cleo
trician.
Wilson, who is charged with
first degree murder, admitted
shooting the girl when he was
intoxicated, but insisted:
II didn't mean to kill her.
just wanted to brighten her."
The shooting occurred last
Saturday night. The socially
prominent girl died three hours
later, murmuring:
ooh, Charles, Charles"
Later Wilson told Chief of Po-
lice Merle Unkle that the gun was
accidentally discharged when Rob-
ert Moorhead, 14-year-old brother
of the slain girl, attempted to
wrest the weapon from him.
Ralph Moorhead, father of the
girl, said he had discouraged the
Isfriendship between his daughter
and Wilson.

Court to induce Emperor Halle
Selassie to 'abdicate in favor Of
their son, Crown Prince AsFaou
Wosan, the newspaper II Tevere

the dispatch said that the Crown
Prince would agree to an Italian
protectorate.
He would then, said n Tevere,
assume the crown under Italian
sum, which has been in Italian
hands since the early stages of
the Ethiopian war.
Early in the conflict, reports
auspices in the Holy city of Ak
from Ethiopia said ASfaou WoSan,
quarreling with his father, had
eSpoused the Italian cause, but
these were later officially denied
by both the NeguS and his son.
Italian circles believe the en-
peror, his imperial guard crushed
on the northern front, will soon
be forced either to abdicate or flee
from the country.
So closely are the Italian forces

EASTMAN ACT
ASKSU. :. TO
FOOT BILL
Bill Before Congress
Affects ! ,564,1OO on
Pay Rolls Now
international News service

All employees in the transporta-
ton industry, estimated to num-
Der 1,564,100, with an estimated
annual compensation Of 1924
$4,000, will be directly affected
by q proposed bill, sent to Pres
ident Roosevelt and Congress to-
day, to establish a system Of I'M
employment compensation for
transportation employees. It will
indirectly affect every citizen OF
the United States.
The proposed draft was pre-
pared by the section Of labor rela-
tionS Of Federal Coordinator Of
Transportation Joseph B. East
man, and was transmitted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Eastman said it may be regarded
as a sequence to the Social Security
act, which enables the States to
set up systems of unemployment
compensation without fear that
the employers affected will be
unfairly burdened in interstate
competition.
Giving reasons why the system
of unemployment compensation
should be set up by the Federal
Government rather than by the
States, Eastman said:
''Tt should be understood that
this bill will not add to the H.
nancial burdens Of the trans
pOrtatiOn companies now sub
ject to the social security act.
All that it does is to provide a
means whereby unemployment
compensation for the employees
Of this national industry can be
administered uniformly and eff
ficiently ON q national basis"
In transmitting the report the
Commission said:
1--WE agree that any system
Of unemployment cOmpensa-
ton for persons engaged in
interstate ira sport alton
should be set up and admin
istered by the Federal govern
ment rather than by the
states and it is no doubt highly
desirable that early cOnsidera-
ton be given to bringing the
pyesent system as to such per-
SINS under one authority and
to putting it on a uniform
= basis"
Longshoremen and stevedores
are not included in the terms of
the proposed bill.

BLACKBOARD STAFF
EDITORIAL

One of the many points, notice
able to others that we ourselves do
do not see is the neatness of the
building; the arrangement of the
properties and the general cleanli-
ness. It should be the aim and re-
sponsibility of each of us to keep
our building respectable. Once the
arrangement of the desks is made,
it should be left that way.
The second, and possibly the most
important, part is the general clean
illness. This includes the putting of
waste material where it belongs, and
keeping the floors, walls and desks
clean from such marks as are al
together unnecessary. Lately we
have been neglecting these points
and have allowed ourselves to put
unnecessary footprints upon the
walls and marks upon the desks.
We should try to overcome such
weaknesses as participating in these
acts.
A class in commercial arithmetic
has been arranged under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Hester during the fifth
period, from 1870 to 2:30 o'clock.
The eighth grade and a few of the
high school students who are in
terested or have failed in another
subject are taking it. The teaching
of advanced arithmetic, and a re-
view of all the principles Of the
seventh and eighth grade arith-
metics is the object of the class. 1t
is found to be a very practical sub
iect. It is certainly unfortunate
that more of the high school STU
dents cannot take it, for the teach
ers find that they need it.

Progress Administration, or the
