shooting took place at the apartment
after Mcmillan had driven up with
Mrs. Rosalie Hales King, attractive

over Mrs. King. Harrington testified
Mcmillan was beating him "viciously''
when he fired, and denied allegations
that he was infatuated with Mrs
King.
States witnesses yesterday testified
Harrington fired without notice on
Mcmillan, and denied that there was
any fight before the shooting.

now busily engaged in the highly inn
portant-in fact vitality essential-task
of considering fully and separately

This humdrum phase of the boards
activities Is quite a far cry from the

ing of views which attended it's open
hearings last week This sort of thing
Will continue at least until Saturday,
Chairman W. A. Lucas said TODAY.
With the result that newspaper sub
scribers, if they read anything about
what is going to happen in any of
the many contests will be reading
the guess of some reporters, and not
any information officially released by
the board or any of it's members
The chairman said that the board
is meeting in executive session this
week, not from any desire to adopt
a "hush, hush" attitude, but simply
in order to get something done.
The magnitude of the task is i'm
mediately apparent to any one en-
tering the room in which the board
is meeting. Piled high on the long
table at which members arc sitting
are stacks and stacks of affidavits.
Not only must each and every one
of these documents be read, but
search of the counter affidavits must
be made to determine if there is an
answer, or if there is any dispute of
the facts set out in the affidavit.
Then the board considers whether
or not the charge made has been sus-
tanned and if, in fact, an illegal ballot
has been cast. If the consensus is
that the vote is illegally cast, it is
so listed.
Nobody has said so directly, but
Chairman Lucas statement in open
session last Saturday intimated that
when the board has completed its
item by item consideration of the
fraud charges, the matter is going to
be referred again to the county boards
involved, with directions to revise
original counts in accordance with the
State boards views of the legality or
illegality of the ballots considered.
If this procedure is followed, as
there is reason to believe it will be,
it requires no Sherlock Holmes to
reach the conclusion that the con-
tests of Bob Young in the fourth and
Rivers Johnson in the sixth district
solicitors race are going to fail for
want of enough obviously fraudulent
ballots to change the face-of-the-re-
turns results in those contests.
In the eighth congressional there
is quite another aspect on affairs.
To begin with, Chairman Lucas
practically said last Saturday that
ballots found in the wrong boxes in
Union county ought to have been
counted as soon as the precinct Off
Gals reached the conclusion that they
were put in the wrong boxes by mis-
take.
That will cut the apparent majority
of w. o. Burgin over G. B. Deane to
less than half a hundred.
Then the State board is practically
certain to order the Davidson county
board to toss into the discard high
per cent CT the absentee ballots chal-
Ienged there, where practically all
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-07-28

were for Burgin.
If this is done, the Burgin majority
will completely disappear and be
turned into a Deane majority.
Readers of this piece should bear
in mind the statement made early in
it-this is a guess" of the writer, not
a statement, official or unofficial, OF
any member of the election board.
This correspondent loves the limbs
and accordingly hereby climbs out
on another very precarious one. When
the State board gets through with the
eighth, G. B. Deane, of Richmond
will be the Democratic nominee.

 TO HOLD OUTING
Crackerjacks 10 Set Time and Pack Site at Meeting
 Tonight
BROOKLYN

The Town Plot Crackerjack Ath- letic Club will hold an important meeting this evening at o'clock at their clubrooms, 8 Greenmount Terrace.
 Plans will be discussed for the annual outing next month and a discussion held on the clubs soft ball team which is entered in the city-wide league. Michael Purcaro will preside.
 Fusionists Meet
 Unity of Republican Independent Democratic factions, with Controller Sherwood L. Rowland on the outside looking in unless his last ofIlce ap- pointments conform to the organ- ization demands, will be stressed to- night at 8 meeting of the Republi- can-Independent Democratic dis trict club at Venta hall, Brooklyn, when city leaders of both groups will be principal speakers.
 J. Warren Upson, Republican town chairman, and Senator George T, Culhane, mayoralty candidate and Independent Democrat, will be fea- tured at the get-together which is primarily for the purpose of install- ing Floyd H. Rasmussen, Brooklyn Republican leader, as president of the 34th, 35th and And district club. It is MT. Rasmussen who stepped aside" to allow MT. Row. land to be candidate for controller in last years Fusion campaign, which resulted in MT. RowlandS s victory, defeat of other candidates.
 Assurance that MT. Rasmussen, would be given priority claim to a post in the offlce of the controller was consideration at the time. That this has not come to pass, in spite of MT. Rowland's favoring of other political groups, particularly his personal, associates, is one of the major points of friction between the Fusion leaders and the control Ter. With the rift's healing depen- dent on placement of MT. Rasinus- sen among the appointments yet remaining to the controller, report reliably evolves.
 The meeting tonight at S:30 O. clock at Venta hall, will be prelim- mary to drawing campaign plans for this fall, 1t was announced. Many Republican and Independent Democratic leaders have been in- vited and most have accepted in. vitations to speak.

 The ancient cannon placed dur ing this period to command the bay in every affection still stand silently in their embrasures in the walls that border the paths and walks of "The Rock"
 |i In 1868, the fort was used to hold prisoners, and in 1900 it was converted into rest camp for convalescent soldiers from the Phil ippine campaign.
 In 1907 it became the United States Military prison. During the Army's occupation, Alcatraz was developed to high degree of efficiency. A modern cell house was built over the site once oc- cupied by the old Spanish citadel. Today it is known as No. 68, and it is the ore which Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, and similar one-time public enemies now call home.
 Strong Cell Unit
 This building is the strongest unit in the American prison system, and under the able direc- ton of Sanford Bates, former fed eral director of prisons, it has be- come as near escape-proof as any prison in the world.
 The cells are in four stacks, three tiers high. The two cenetr stacks are made up of 336 maximum se-

Laundry Is Trouble Spot
 Most of the trouble that does appear starts in the laundry. The prisoners know that if they can tie up production there, they can cause the prison management all sorts Of trouble. and of course they like to do that whenever they can in such way as not to bring it back upon themselves.
 Emery dust in a bearing, sharp knife on the canvas rolls of an ironer, or a bit of steel in some gears. And then the laundry piles up on the dock as 1t comes in from the Army transports, the Presidio and Angel island.
 Of course laundry strikers are thrown into solitary confinement and given only bread and water. They yell and shout at the guards until they are hoarse. Then per- haps some go on hunger strike.
 That is all right for the first day, perhaps the second or third. But about the 10th day, when the striker shows signs of weakening, guards take him over to e" block, and the prison doctor comes along with about three feet of rubber tubing and a mess of milk and eggs he has mixed. He makes the patient swallow the tubing, and feeds him thorugh funnel. Hun ger strikers witnessesing such feeding have been known to break their fast almost immediately in tho good old-fashioned way.
 One 2o0-pound guard, during a laundry strike, was dared by slender prisoner to step inside the cell. Having nerve. and weight on his side, this guard accepted the invitation. In fact. he stepped into a beautiful left hook, the marks of which he carried for quite while. Tie guard received the next day a copy of book by an ex-pugil- 1st entitled I'm Sucker for a Left Hook"
