cial grand jury was empanelled today
to consider evidence against Franklin
Mccall in connection with the kidnap-
Staying of James Bailey Cash, Jr., but

and half year old boy was snatched
from his crib in Princeton May %,
and twelve days later his body was
found in thicket barely mile from

Praha, CZechoslovakia, June 49,
AP)-Wth the overwhelmingly pro

Germans clearly demonstrated at the
polls, this 20-year-old republic today
approached what may ice the most
momentous decision since it's founda-

Czechoslovaks were not surprised

estimated 909 percent of the tota,
vote in German districts yesterday in
the third of three Sunday municipal
elections.
They were more concerned with the
outcome of discussions on the trouble

on Mediterranean
Coast Before Rebels

Bendaye, France, June 13.-(AP)-
Spanish insurgents, swiftly hIirdling
crumbling government defenses, today
battered into the outskirts of Castel-
lon de la Plana, one of the richest
ports in eastern Spain.
With AEcocacer, 81 miles short of
Castellon, abandoned by retreatine
government troops, the city became
the outpost of defenses for Valencia,
40 miles farther south.
The city's port was bombed by in
surgent planes backing the besieging
land forces. Filters reported govern
ment troops there were loading war
supplies aboard small coastal ships in
an effort to move them south before
they fall into insurgent hands.
The railroad between Castellon and
Valencia, insurgent dispatches said
was cut by air bombardment about
ten miles south of Castellon. Scores
of lesser towns fell before the insur-
gent sweep, which in less than three
days doubled the area of insurgent

Before his guns were brought UP
within range of the city and fighting
swirled in the orange groves on its
plains, most of the civil population
was said to have been evacuated.

Regulation of Employment
In United States

Washington, June 13.-(AP)-Sen-
ate Leader Barley, Democrat, Ken
lucky, told reporters after confer
ence with President Roosevelt today,
that Congress would adjourn Wednes-
day without enacting ANY new rail-
road legislation.
"Since we expect to adjourn not
later than Wednesday night, we do
not contemplate that there will be
any new railroad legislation this SEES
sion," Barkley said
The Democratic leader said specif:-
cally that bill to lineralize Recon
struction Finance Corporation loans
to railroads was not on the program
to be completed before adjournment
That measure once was reported to
the Senate by it's banking committee,
but was sent back to committee when
the railroads proposed a Is percent
wage cut.
The White House conference was
attended by Vice-President Garner,
Speaker Bankhead and Representa-
tive Rayburn, Democrat, Texas, the
House majority leader.
Abandonment of rail legislation
legislation as the key to adjournment.
A compromise wage-hour bill was
put before Congress today by a con-
ference committee, which hoped its
quick adoption would enable weary
legislators to go home late this week.
The measure will come before the
House tomorrow. Members were ex-
pected to take little time to discuss
the merits of, the compromise, for
mally approved yesterday by II SEN
ators and representatives.
The bill would create nationally
uniform minimum wage of rs cents
an hour for industries engaged in
interstate commerce, 12O days after
it's enactment. That scale would stay
in effect for year, after which d
80 cents minimum would be ordered
for another year. After that time,
boards representing employers, en-
ployees and the public, would be es77
tablished to determine minimum for
individual industries. They would con-
slider living, production and transpor-.
tattoo costs and other factors.
At the end of seven years, all
minima would increase to 40 cents an
hour, except where the board decided
employment might be curtailed con-
siderably. All the factors considered
in making the earlier exemptions
would again be before the boards.
Other measures on which action
must be completed before the session
ends are the relief bill and a deficiency
appropriation bill. No delay in action
on them is anticipated by congress
ional leaders.

ACCIDENT DEATHS
100000 IN NATION
Toll Last Year Twice u. S.
World War Deaths;
Autos Kill $1,000

Chicago, June 13-(AP)- The
National Safety Council annOunc-
ed today that accidents claimed
100000 lives in 1887, a total more
than twice as great as the num-
her of American lives lost in the
World War.
Injuries from accidents disabled
100000 persons during the year,
at least one member of every
fourth family.
The caIculable cost of all acct
dents ran to $4,000, 100000, which,
the council said, was enough to
build IS Empire State buildings.
The number of accidental deaths
per 100000 population decreased
four percent during 1887.
Motor vehicle accidents last year
caused $1,000 deaths, 100000 per-
sOnal injuries, and an economic
loss of $1,7OO, 100000. The traffic
fatalities represented a four per-
cent increase over 1886.

DIVERSION FOES
GET THE BREAKS
Events Shape Toward Bans
on Using Road Funds
for Other Purposes
Daily Dispatch bureau,
In The Sir Walter ilntC

Raleigh, June 13.-Opponents of di-
version have gotten the breaks in
about half a dozen different recent
developments, some of them only in.
directly connected with the highways,
their maintenance or construction, or
with ~automotive taxes
Among these developments can be
listed: CD the cut in federal road
funds; ca the intensive safety pro-
gram being conducted by State Off
Gals; CD agitation for increase in the
highway patrol personnel; (4) the de-
partment of Agriculture's Marketing
program; 60 a slight decrease in gas
oline tax receipts and the prospect for
further decreases; and CO. the State S
advertising program.
Connection between these and diver
sion may not be entirely clear on the
surface, but on closer scrutiny it be-
comes quite apparent
For example, the federal road fund
cut and the decreased gasoline tax
receipts give anti-diversiOnists the OPP
portunity to point out increasing need
of keeping all highway funds for high
way purposes, and to argue with more
convincing logic.
The safety program, the marketing
program and the advertising cam
paign all make more essential the
construction and maintenance of more
and better highways and thereby
highlight the Importance of raising
more funds for highway purposes.
And one way of having more funds
for these purposes, anti-diversionists
point out, is to keep all that is col
lected for highway needs, rather than
diverting part of them to other uses
All in all the forces opposed to di-
version seem to be in quite a strategic
position at the moment, though no one
can forecast now what conditions will
be when the General Assembly meets
next January; and nothing definite
can be done about diversion unit
then.

Shanghai, June 13 ).Powerfu]
Japanese land and river forces today
captured Anking, capital of Anhewi
province, in a swift thrust up the
Yangtze river toward Hankow
China's provisional capital, less than
200 miles farther inland.
Rising flood waters of the Yellow
river, imperlling Japan's offensive
through Honan province, increased
the possibility that the drive by land
and water up the Yangtze may be-
come the main attack on China's seat
of government.
A Japanese army spokesman ack-
nowledged that fighting in the Cheng-
chow sector, where Japanese are be-
sieging the junction of the Lunghai
and Peiping-Hankow railroads, was
being hampered by mud and rain
According to official Chinese Chi
nese dispatches from Hankow, flood
waters already have crossed the vital
east-west Lunghai and are flowing
southeast toward Anhwei.
If supply lines are cut off by the
flood, they declared, the Japanese
could not press their Lunghai cam
paign. III.
Actual occupation of Anking, ia
panese reports said, was achieved by
infantry, which was put ashore from
transports and advanced on the pro-
vincial capital from the east and
northeast after Japanese warships
shelled the city from the river.
Japanese also reported capture of
Tungcheng, 40 miles north of Anking,
on a connecting chain of waterways

If ever an executive chief made a

President Wilson did when he appeal

Interesting enough as far as it goes;

better translated: Cooper Jumps

That rendering of the headline is
obviously much nearer the facts in
the case, because everybody, (includ-
ing Thomas E. Cooper, mayor of Will
mington, and Robert r. Reynolds
United States senator from the State
of North Carolina) knows that "Our

nominated for President than has
yokel Elmer Zilch, who runs the gro

Mayor Cooper and the governor
ship, however, are two other fellows,
or at least another fellow and a DIFF

of North Carolina and he has the nee
essary personal magnetism and vote

So far he has lacked two things to

principal consolation from the fact
