NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The orig
inal manuscript of THE Murders in
the Rue Morgue," Edgar Allan Poe S
gruesome tale that set the fashion
for the modern detective story, went
under the auctioneer's hammer last
night. 1t was sold after spirited
bidding to Charles Sessler, Phila-
delphia dealer, for $34 900.
Twice rescued from the rubbish
heap saved three times from fire,
the detective story is one of 269
literary treasures which Drexel In
stitute of Technology, Philadelphia,
is selling through Parke -Bernet
Galleries.
Total proceeds from the sale of
the books and manuscripts was $90,-
1880. An additional $48,338.50 was
realized from the sale of paintings
and other art objects from the
DreXel collection.
The manuscript of Charles Dick
ems Our Mutual Friend" was sold
last night to DR.. A. S. w. Rosen-
bach, the noted Philadelphia COL
lector and dealer. for $1,000.
Poe's Rue Morgue story-the orig
inal title, The Murders in the Rue
Trianon Bac," is neatly scratched
out of the manuscripts the one
which introduces c. Auguste Dupin,
the detective whose method" was
perfected by Sherlock Holmes and
followed by host of other fictional
sleuths from Philo Vance to Nero
Wolfe.
1t was Dupin who discovered that
beautiful Partisan girl was mur-
dered and her body stuffed up a
chimney by an ape.
First published in l841, the manu-
script in Poes firm, neat hand
writing, was plucked from waste
basket by j. M. Johnston, later a
hotel keeper and pioneer photog-
rapher in Lancaster, Pa.
Johnston had it bound in the
present two volums after rediscov-
ering it in an old music book which

Rug PeddIer Lands
on Legal Carpet
Represented Firm
That Didn't Exist

CENTER LINE - A Detroit
racketeer rug salesman who re-
presented company that didn't
exist, and obtained cash deposits
from two Center Line women for
rugs that he never delivered was
found guilty in Detroit this week
by Recorders Judge Joseph Gil
lis, on similar counts in the city
of Detroit. He was placed on
probation for one year.
Police Chief Elmer Flechsig
of Center Line, said that the man
came out to this city in October
and approached housewives as a
representative of rug company.
The man carried a sample and
printed forms, Flechsig said, and
when he convinced the prospect
i've victim that she wanted a rug,
he would ask for a deposit, one
TO five dollars, and then be on his
way, not to return. Two cases of
the racket were called to the
police chiefs attention, one
where the victim was taken for
one dollar, and another where
she lost five dollars. The chief
warned housewives to beware of
such door to door statesmen.

Murphy, as he left the property,
used a pocket knife on Scarbo's
arms.

The City Of Detroit's hard
fought irpor condemnation
suit, embracing 783 parcels of
Warren township property, came
to temporary halt this week,

News Of Central Labor
Council Of Anaconda

A regular meeting was called to order
by President Joseph Doran. The meet
ing was well attended.
In addition to routine business Brother
Curtis reported that he had attended the
recent meeting of farmer and laborers
at Great Falls. A permanent organiza-
ton was set up and the necessary COM
mittees appointed. One of the chief
aims of the organization is to awaken
citizens to their responsibilities at cleo
ton time. Citizens must register and
intelligently participate in local and ma
tional elections. And men of high
character must be willing to become
candidates. Such men should receive
the encouragement Of intelligent voters.
Brother Finnegan %6postmaster) called
attention to changes in postal rates ef-
fective April LIST and then spoke briefly,
but seriously, on the Murray-W Wagner
Dingell bill. He urged all support for
this bill.
President Doran spoke vigorously on
5he record Of Labor achieved during
these war years and warned that a
National Service Law not only would not
cure any ills, but in addition would de-
stroy many gains which had been made
through long and hard struggles. He
urged all labor to be on the alert and
stop early any DESTRUCTIVE movement.

acute ailment you may have. Why
don't you see a doctor and have a COM
plete diagnosis made and treatment pre-
scribed? It is the same old story, you,
like many others, go Oh hoping from
day to day that the patent medicine will
have the desired results, or at least keep
you going until you a afford profess
sional medical care. How many Of you
are still paying on a doctor bill, that
at n time seemed to have you hope
lessly in debt. Think it over, the Wag-
ner-Murray bill provides insurance that
budgets your doctor bill over periods
when you are working and provides an
income when you are out of a job or
sick. Insurance mind you, not charity,
but insurance, just as any other insur-
ance. 1 am sure if you consider what
it costs the county, state and federal
government for relief, medical care and
disqualification and then consider what
it costs business and professional men
in bad bills, which they had to charge
off as losses because workers were un-
employed and had no income during the
last depression, and then consider the
business failures, the lost homes with its
attendant liquidation of life saving of
many, the cost of the operation of the
Wagner-Murray bill will be insignificant
by comparison. It would seem then, that
the issue before us in considering social
legislation such as the Wagner-Murray
bill is whether we want to prepare in
time Of plenty an orderly means of pro-
viding Tor emergencies, or do we want
to wait until an emergency is upon us.
and then adopt inefficient, costly, tenn
porary methods of dishing out charity
to those unfortunate enough to be with
out a job or income. The American peo-
pie want insurance. not charity, the
Wagner-Murray bill is social security in
surance.

Vote For Mill Levy
at School Election

is the greatest contributing cause to our
shortage Of funds. Montana has a
high school budget law which allows US
to budget a given amount per pupil that
is in attendance for at least 40 days
during the previous school years. A few
years ago when we had from 1900 to
2 400 pupils enrolled in the high school,
the budget allowance was more than
ample to take care Of our financial OBJ
legations. Since the war has upset the
regular routine Of young people, u high
school enrolment has gradually de
creased until the number we now have
on which to base our budget is far short
of what we need. The attraction of work
and high wages has lured many pupils
away from school at a time when we
are being urged by the Army and Navy
and the United States Department of
Education to increase our educational
offerings, in place of re~trenching.
We have decreased our number of
teachers in the high school as the num-
Der of pupils decreased, and no doubt
viii be able to cut expenses by curtail-
ing the faculty still further this year.
However, it is not possible to reduce ex-
penses at the same rate that our income
has been decreasing, due to the per pupil
allotment budget law.
Last year we based our budget on an
enrolment of 1874 pupils who attended
at least 40 days. This year we have
only 1894 pupils on which to- base our
budget claim. This is a decrease of 300
pupils. AS we are allowed to budget
s126.5O per pupil, the decrease of 800
pupils this year cuts our high school
budget by an amount equal to 800 K
$126.5O, or S37.950.
about the only place we can cut the
expenses in the high school is by de-
creasing the number of teachers. Most
every other expenditure has already been
cut to the minimum. The amount of
~ianitor work, the heat, the light, and
maintenance do not decrease with the
decrease of enrolment. The S37,950.O0
decrease is equal to the salaries of about
20 teachers. We now have 81 teachers
in the high school, not counting prinei-
pals, supervisors, clerks, etc. Twenty
teachers are nearly one-third Of u
regular teaching staff. It does not seem
reasonable that we could cut our staff
by one-third and still maintain an ac-
creditable high school. Many Of the OPP
%portunities we are now offering our young
people would, Of necessity, be restricted.

Uncle Sam Uses Lots of
Paper, But It's 0ny IL
Per Cent of Total Supply

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Many anti
administration spokesman will pound
countless tables during the coming po-
litical campaign to view with no little
alarm the fragrant misuse and waste of
good paper by the scores of federal
agencies. And applause will go up in
hundreds of newspaper columns while
the Republicans cry Amen"
But the fact is that Uncle Sans scat
tered agencies and departments use only
about IL per cent Of the total supply Of
paper and paperboard.
Figures compiled by the Government
Printing Office here March % show that
the trouble in paper is that since 1871
the consumption of pulpwood has been
greater than imports and domestic pro-
duction and U. S. commercial inventories
are down three-fourths of normal.
