Few Clues OhiO's
Shotgun Murder

The mystery Staying of Mrs. Rose
Cable, socially prominent Canton,
Ohio woman, caused police this
week to search for the flaw that
solves perfect crimes"
Confronting authorities were these
stumbling blocks:
Failure to find the shotgun that
killed the 36-year-old matron last
Thursday night as she sat in her
home. The shot was fired through
the window by some one outside in
the yard.
Complete absence of any known
motives for the Staying of Mrs.
Gable whose affairs showed only that
she led a happy married life, taught
a Sunday school class and was ac-
tive in church and social affairs.
Although persons living nearby
were still awake at the time of the
shooting and heard the shot no one
saw anyone near the Cable home
nor any car in which the slayer
might have escaped.
For clues authorities had only a
dozen black shotgun pellets and
plaster casts of footprints outside
the window.

Mass Meeting
Measures Regarding Retaliation Of
Property in Ashe Discussed

Following a countrywide invitation
to mass meeting in Jefferson Sat-
urday, the courthouse was filled to
hear the pros and cons of the two
bills relative to county finances
which were introduced several days
ago by Representative ]. B. Hash.
Judge T. c. Bowie, representing the
side against the measures, spoke at
length on the dangers involved as
he saw them. MIR. Hash was present
and read the bills as they had been
introduced and explained that no
detriment had been done.
One measure provided for an adj
justment Of property revaluation in
the county and the other provided
for a refunding of road bonds if and
when the county commissioners and
the local government commission
thought it to be to the best interest
OF the county to do so, and If and
when an adjustment could be made
within the ability of the taxpayers
to meet.

DOughtOn Says He Has Made No
Statement of Political Plans

Replying to the news that came
from Raleigh last week that Con-
gresham r. L. Doughton would not
oppose Senator Robert r. Reynolds
in the 1888 senatorial race, Mr..
Doughton is quoted as declaring for
himself:
81 am not in or out of any political
contests for the next election and
made no statement to anyone re-
garding the matter on my last visit
to Raleigh, or at any other city !
visited. I have not stated or made up
my mind whether I shall be can
didate for the senate, reelection to
my position in the house of repre-
sentatives, or for any office at all, j."
the congressman continued.
''When I do make up my mind
Mr.. Doughton said, II will state it to
the peoples and not to one indi-
vidual." =

LATE \ EWS
From STATE and NATION
DILLINGER BETRAYER
WANTS TO RETURN

"The woman in red" who lured
bandit John Dillinger to his death,
pleaded this week from her exile in
Rumania for re-entry to the United
States.
Writing from the Balkan town of
Tinisoara where she is known as
Dona Anna Cumpanasi, Mrs. Anna
Sage asked a Chicago attorney to
take the necessary legal steps to ex-
pedite her return. The 45-year-old
woman wrote she did not believe
the u. S. government, which ban
ished her 10 months ago, would OPP
pose her petition for re-entry.

COURT REFORM

Senator Robinson, Democrat of
Arkansas, the Democratic leader,
produced tonight the first compro-

Man Escapes With
Life by Few Inches

Noah Lyle barely escaped death
last week while working on the road
near the jumping Off place when
a rock weighing around $50 pounds
fell some 80 feet from a cliff above
him and struck him sidewise Had
the rock fell full upon him, death
would have been instantaneous. His
shoulder was crushed, and some ribs
broken. He was hurried to the hos
pital where it is thought he will re-
cover, although the accident is prov
ing very painful.

$500 Locust
Seedlings Will
Be Set i'm Ashe
A Farms Where Experiments Are
Being Made Were Visited
by Expert Last Week
(By C.. ]. RIGID

On Thursday of last week Mr. R.
H. Page, Jr, assistant extension for
ester of State College, was in the
county. Four farms where locust
seedlings were being set were
visited.
Mr.. r. B. Taylor set 1000 seed
lings, Mr.. Walter Pennington 500,
Mr.. w. B. Oliver 1000, and Miss
Julia Reeves set 1000.
These soil improving plants are
being set on thin land. Cattle are
not being allowed to Craze for sew
eral years where they are being set.
By that time some improvement in
the soil will be evident.
Attention was called by Mr.. Page
to the abundance of nodules on the
roots of these locust seedlings. It is
by means of these nodules that these
plants are able to gather nitrogen
from the air thereby promoting
their own growth as well as improv-
ing the soil.
These seedlings were grown by
the nursery of the N. c. Department
of Conservation and Development.
Orders were placed last fall so that
the nursery could give assurance
that they could ship them this
spring.
1t is hoped that more land owners
will set their thin and quilted fields
to locusts. Every farmer knows that
locusts are soil improvers and that a
little time and labor spent in setting
them on poor land will be a good
investment for the future. Let's give
1ocusts a chance to help us reclaim
our worn out land. ~

SINKING FREIGHTER

Passengers abandoned the flaming

mid-Pacific Saturday but found
quick rescue when the American
cruiser Louisville sped more than
IL hours to pick them up.
The cruiser reached the burning
ship as persistent flames crept
through the Silveclarch's hull and
forced her engines to stop, while
she was moving with all possible
speed toward Honolulu and the on
rushing cruiser.

Farmers Invited to
Vegetable Meeting

On Saturday, March 81, at 1000
a. m. in the courthouse is to be a
meeting held for the purpose of dis
cussing vegetable marketing prob
lens in this county.
There is no doubt but that Ashe
county offers opportunity for the
production of certain vegetables, but
producers find themselves without
proper facilities for marketing these
vegetables at the time they are
ready. It may be possible to work
out plan to meet this situation.
Ashe county farmers are invited
to attend this meeting.

Back Pay for State Employees to
Be Settled; School Machinery
Law Passes Both Houses
LEVY MOTOR VEHICLE TAX

Tearing into, it's semifinals this
week in Raleigh, the house renewed
the hope of Chairman Victory Bry-
ant Of the appropriations committee,
that it can finish it's half of the ses-
sion's work Saturday evening, but
Speaker Cherry, the driver, wasn't
so persuaded.
The school machinery measure
passed both the house and the SEN
ate and left the highway problem as
the biggest one yet to settle.
One of the big issues to come up
is the long-debated back pay, a
100000 item now nearly four years
old and barred both by the time and
the sovereignty of the state. The
highway reorganization and school
machinery bills, part of the legisla-
ton standing between the general
assembly and final adjournment,
took their place on the senate calen-
dar.
In the highway bill, the auditor,
treasurer and governor are named
as ex-officio members of the COM
mission in addition to the other 10
members and chairman as provided
for in the house bill. Senator Hill
raised violent objection to this prop
osition until he learned they were
to be given no vote and then he
suggested that the arrangement was
all right by him.
AS it passed the senate the motor
vehicle tax bill will bring in more
that 100000 more revenue than as
it came from the house,it was esti-
mated by Senator Sparger. The gain
made in increasing the rates on
passenger vehicles and heavier
trucks is partially overcome by loss
sfron1 striking out the section which
treated commercial haulers under a
separate tax schedule which was in
Guided in the original bill and which
was approved by the house.
The senate has concurred in house
amendments to the Mckee child la
Dor bill, enacting the measure into
law
The statute, which does not apply
to children employed in home or on
farms, provides that children under
Is years of age, desiring to work,
must obtain permission from the
state department of labor. Twelve
year-old boys will be allowed to de-
liver newspapers and magazines un-
der certain restrictions and 14-year-
olds will be allowed to hold nom
industrial jobs.
No one under 16 years of age may
be employed more than 40 hours a
week and children under 18 are
banned from certain hazardous"
occupations.
The school bill which was origin
ally drawn with the superintendent
of public instruction as chairman of
the school commission instead of the
lieutenant governor goes to the cal
endar with the lieutenant governor
in the saddle and the superintendent
serving as vice chairman.
An amendment was adopted which
provides that the county superin-
tendent shall submit list of prin-
cipals from which the local board
with the approval of the county
board of education shall elect the
school head. He in turn with the
consent of the county board and the
local school board shall name the
teachers.
Buses are to be routed by the
local authorities with the approval
of the school commission. The num-
Der Of buses according to approval
of amendment this afternoon is no
