ordered the inquest for Wednesday

He added that he was subpoenaing

attempt to uncover the motive for the
Staying. He predicted several ar
rests" in the interim
Dr. Lees pronouncements against
vice, his friends explained, usually were
made in face-to-face encounters with
individuals rather than from the
pulpit.
Chairman r. A. Gould Of the Glynn
County Commission said he doubted
there was much to the vice motive
theory but added the thought that
the crime must have been committed

As concrete clues, the investigators
had merely two 38-caliber bullets, one

Omcers continued their hunt for the
death weapon and looked for an auto

A 81 900 reward was offered for solu-
ton Of the Staying with more than half

He urged "the purging OF the present
board Of persons who believe they are
crusaders and economic dictators first
and arbitrators afterwards" and con-
tinued:
Loop holes in the Labor Relations
Act whereby labor in the form Of or
ganized groups was given the right

denied industry and thus violate the

biased and prejudiced Labor Board to
make q 'mockery of a worthy and

preserved"

Giants Short Lived

The circus giant, the man with
abnormally long legs or other alb
normalities of frame, is a short
lived human. Tall men fall into
two classes, those who attain their
extraordinary growth because of in
herited tendencies and those who
become freaks because of some up
set in the glandular functions. The
man who "comes by his height nat
urally" usually lives a normal life
span, but the freak seldom attains
middle age. An insurance compa-
ny, given to research in such mat
tiers, found that a number of men
ranging from z feet inches tall to
8 feet 7 inches had an average life
Of thirty-four years. The oldest died
at forty-five, the. youngest at twen-
ty-seven.
