WAY INTO ROOM
Jury Will Be Chosen From
Special Venire of 150.
Mrs. Montague Stoutly
Denies Part in Crime.
Asheville, June 23.— UP) —The puz
zling ease of Mrs, Annie K. Montague,
45-y ear-old nurse charged with bru
tally murdering Mrs. Mary R. Cooper,
81-year-old widow, whose companion
Mrs. Montague had been for severnl
months, was called for trial in Bun
combe county court here this morning.
A crowd of more than a thousand per
sons milled about the court house in
an effort to push their way into the
court room, packed long before court
opened.
Occupying six rows of seats across
the front of the court room was a
special venire of 150 men from which
a jury was to be selected. Judge
Thomns J. Shaw, of Greensboro, oc
cupied the bench. Court opened at
!l :30 o’clock. Business left over from
the previous day was disposed of,
while the court room grew more and
more restless. Mrs. Montague sat
with her estranged husband. Dr. S.
S. Montague, of Oxford, X. C., and
her sister, Miss Helen Wilkereon, of
New York, beside her attorneys. She
chewed at a handkerchief, whispering
repeatedly, first to her lawyers and
then relatives.
Close friends of the murdered wom
an, witnesses for the state, and Mr.<.
Cooper's few relatives sat at the pros
ecution table.
HAM AND EGGS
ON SOUND BASIS
Get Government Sanction as Scientific
. Breakfast.
TVnsMegton. June 23.—There is" ft
reason Car ham and eggs. According
•«- the »
great American breakfast, even if an
accidental combination, has a sound
scientific basis. The department has
also found that there are scientific
reasons for the ham sandwich.
For ten years the department has
been experimenting with the food value
of pork and pork products. By chemi
enl analysis and feeding experiments
on some 4,000 albino rats, whose
nutritive requirements are similar to
those of man, it is now able to explain
many of the food habits brought about
irnrely by appetite.
It has been discoved, for instance,
that lean pork is rich in vitamin B.
but low in the fat-soluble vitamin A.
Eggs, however, are low in vitamin B
and rich in vitamin A. The nutritive
value of the combination is apparent.
Ham and eggs, bacon and eggs, or
sausage and eggs furnish a liberal
supply of two important food elements,
besides fat, protein, minerals and other
desirable constituents.
In adidtion it has been found that
there are wide differences among pro
teins from various- sources. Those in
certan animal prodqyts have a higher
nutrivtive value than those in vege
tables, although meat proteins greatly
increase the value of cereal proteins
when they are combined. Thus the 1
proteins in the 'bread of a ham sand
wich become more nutritious when
eaten in combination with the meat.
Consumption of pork amounts to
about 50 per cent, of the total inent
dietary of the United State*, despite
the fact that n lnrge part of the popu
lation labors under the false belief
that there is some reason why an ex
cess of pork is not beneficial to the
human machine. The department
says, however, that pork is digested
riiore rapidly than turkey, in the same
time ns chicken, and slightly more
slowly than beef or lamb.
Uncle Sam may now enjoy his bacon
and eggs or ham sandwiches, in peace
of mind.
Bass Season Opens July First.
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. June 23. —Idle rods and
reels are being oiled and polished pre
paratory to the opening of the bass
fishing season 'in North Carolina on
July Ist.
Announcement of the opening of
the season for taking this game fish
was made yesterday from the depart
ment of conservation and development
by Assistant Director J. K. Dixon. |
Taking of the bass in many of the |
counties of the state has been pro-|
hibited since April 15th because of the j
spawning season. Although the sea-'
sons are not uniform at present, a
special committee of the department i
will recommend to the next meeting of |
the board on July 12th at Morehead
City regulations establishing uniform ■
dates.
The committee will recommend that i
season for bass in the Piedmont and!
eastern counties be from April 15th to j
June 15th, and that open season for
this fish in alb mountain counties ex-!
tend from July lit to October Ist. i
Department officials expect that the!
issue of licenses tor sport fishing will 1
increase with the Opening of £be bass!
season. Blanks and license buttons I
are in the hands of all clerks of su- 1
perior court and fish wardens. I

DISCUSSED IT THE
I GENEVA CONFERENCE
i Plan Submitted by United
States Covering This
i Type of Craft May Be
Accepted Without Delay
PROBLEMS ARE
LESS SERIOUS
Delegates From America j
Do Not Want to Do Any-!
thing to Hinder Arms!
Conference in 1931.
Geneva, .Tunc 23.—OP)—Cruiser
strength has been emphasized by the
American delegates to the tri-partite
naval conference, and from the pri
vate discussions that have been pro
ceeding it ap|>eared today that the Am
ericans do not look for insurmountable
difficulties in arriving at somp ar
rangement with Japan for n propor
tionate strength in th:s type of war
ship as between the two countries. >
While Japan is adverse to applica
tion of a ratio system that would
place their country in an inferior po
sition, it is thought likely that Japan
will accept a cruiser tonnage giving
her only a slightly higher proportion
than 5-5-3, that is, 5 for the United
States and 3.4 for Japan,
There were indications today that
another problem of the conference
was in the way of a settlement, a
problem raised by Great Britain’s ;
proposal for a reduction in the ton
nage of future battleships and air- i
craft carriers, and the size of their
I guns. Agreements on the size of these l
types of aircraft were reached at the i
Washington naval conference in 1922, i
and the American delegation is nn- <
nretakably opposed to any direct re- ]
consideration of these arrangements. I
Consequently it is thought likely
that as a conciliatory move the Am- I
erica ns will suggest adoption of a!.
resolution that any agreement adopt- I
ed by the present conference shall not i
prejudice the program of the second
Washington conference, set for 11131. '
The treaty of 11122 stipulated that i
this second Washington conference i
should be called to determine whether <
the size of battleships, cruisers and 1
aircraft carriers. ,
In discussing this phase some con- 1
ference quarters have pointed out j
that the ocean flights of Lindbergh ami I
Chamberlin raise the question as to
the advisability of greater aircraft
carrier strength to keep up with the
developing speed of inter-continental i
nir communication.

j Witness Says the South
i em Has Been Especially
Slow With Local Short
Hauls.
Charlotte, June 23.— UP) —Charges
that the Southern Railway has been j
giving "very slow" freight service,
and that completion of the electric I
Piedmont & Northern line would be a 1
benefit were made here today by Sal
isbury and Winston-Salem business
men testifying in the hearing on the
petition of the electric line for per
mission to extend its trackage.
" The hearing is being held by H. U.
Davis, examiner for the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The Southern
Railway and other lines operating in
the Piedmont Carolinas are opposing
extension of the interurban.
The slowness of the Southern's ser
vice to Greensboro and points north
ward Is such. W. P. Strachan, of Sal
isbury, said, that business houses
have been "forced to private truck
ing." He said he uses private trucks
for interurban shipments.
On cross examination Mr. Strachan
said he was "with the Southern Rail
way" at the time the Spencer trans
fer was established, and said that “at
that time we thought it would be a
great thing for shippers of less than
ear lots from the west.” He said the
present “unsatisfactory" service might
be due to administrative failure.
It. M. Sigmon, a Salisbury’ real es
tate man, said the building of the P.
& X. through his town would hasten
the development of the municipality
and contiguous territory.
John L. Gilmer, president of the
Winston-Salem Chamber of Com
merce read a statement advocating
construction of Hie P. A X. exten
sion. (hi cross examination he said
her of Commerce. He emphasized the
expectation that building the line will
be “an iiu|M*rtant contribution" to
general incentive for development of
the territory it is proposed to serve.
THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady Today at Decline of
5 to 6 Points Under Selling.
New York. June 23.— UP) —The cot
ton market opened stendy today at a
decline of 5 to 6 points, under selling
probably inspired by relatively easy
Liverpool cables and a more favorable
view of the weather outlook. Offer
ings were not heavy, but buying was
less active than recently, and after
selling at 17.04, Oetobed eased off to
16 97 under liquidation.
Some southern selling was reported
here in the early trading, but there
was trade buying of Octotmr and De
cember on the decline of about 7 to
10 points from yesterday’s closing
quotations.
The early decline extended to 16.92
for October, or 15 points net lower,
but offerings tapered off and there
were rallies later on a little trade
buying and covering. At midday Oc
tober was ruling around 16.97 with
the general market dull at net declines
of 8 to 10 points.
Cotton futures opened steadv: July
16.64; Oct. 17.01; Dec. 17.22; Jan.

■ cept a mystery girl who fled in horror
before the roar of the last revolver

Two policemen shot it out with an

Lexington, June 23.—The Fraser
evaugelistic meetings which have been
conducted in this city for the past
two months by Rev. Edward Fraser
and wife, evangelists of the Presby
terian Church, came to a close. The
meetings were first started in the
courthouse here the’middle of April
and later a large tent was erected in
the Northern section of the city where
the services 'were held for two or
three weeks. A windstorm blew the
tent down and rendered it unfit for
further use and the evangelist con
ceived the idea of erecting an airdrome
which was placed on a vacant lot in
the rear of the courthouse where the
meetings have been held except in un
favorable weather. During rainy
nights the meetings were held either
in the courthouse or in tbe dining
room of tbe March Hotel.

NEWSPAPERS ELIGIBLE
FOR SEPARK PRIZES
However. Few of the Papers Have
Shown Much Interest In the Matter.
Tribune Rurenu
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh. June 23.—Every newspaper
in the state has an o|»portuiiit.v to
win one or both of the two Separk
prizes of $250 each, one awarded to
the paper that has pereformed the
greatest public service during the year
to its community, and the other to be
awarded to the reporter or corres
pondent for the best piece of news
writing.
But so far. the papers of the state
have not seemed to be much interested
in these prizes, according to B. Art)
Imwrnnce, executive secretary of the
North Carolina Press Association, and
only a few newspapers have entered
marked copies in the contest. Mr.
Lowrance urges that every paper in
the state enter this competition, and
•<end marked copies coiniieting for both
prizes, to the committee ip charge of
*hf-ward, which is headed iff lit. £.„C, ;
Branson, of Chapel Hill, and to whom
the papers should be sent.
"There is not a newspaper in the
state thut has not performed some
outstanding service for its community
during the past year, or who does not
have someone on its staff that has
written an outstanding story during
the past year," said Mr. Lowrance.
“Besides, these prizes are well worth
working for. since $250 will come in
handy to any publisher or reporter at
any time. But the publicity gained
by any paper that wins either of these
two prizes will also be worth while."
Hence publishers and editors are
urged to go over their files between
June 1, 1326, and May 31, 1327, and
select from theih the issues containing
the article, editorials or news stories
which they consider the best, and
send them before July 2. the date
when the entries in the contest must
close. It would be well to write a
letter to Dr. Branson at the same
time the papers are sent, calling at
tention the papers, and indicating in
what contest they are being entered.
Mr. I.owrance hopes that more
papers than ever will be entered and
that there will be real competition
in the contests this year.
EARL CARROLL BETTER
Can Talk to Other Prisoners, But
Not About Bathtubs.
Atlanta, Gn.. June 23.—Earl Car
roll is responding rapidly to the
rest cure, says Warden Snook of the
Federal penitentiary here, where the
New York theatrical producer is
spending a year and a day for per
jury.
Snook announced today that Car
roll is beginning to take his meals
with regularity, often topping them i
off with ice cream, his favorite deli-1
cacy. According to the officer rest
was what the New Yorker needed. |
■and rest is what he is getting.
“There is no mistake about Car-1
roll’s nervous breakdown,” the War-.
den declared. "But his stay in Green
ville didn’t help matters any. We
hear he often was kept awake late
at night by sympathetic friends and
relatives. A man suffering from a
nervous breakdown needs rest.”
Carroll spent nearly a month in a
Greenville (S. C.) hospital following
a collapse aboard the train eu route
to the prison here.
()t # er prisoners at the penitentiary
are allowed to indulge in conversa
tion with Carroll whenever they like,
witli only one restriction. Warden
Snook has issued orders forbidding
them to discuss the theater with him,
or to mention even a bathtub in his
presence.

ESCAPES DEATH
FROM SNAKEBITE
Scientist Is Saved by Serum He Was
Studying.
Washington. June 23.—A dramatic
story of panic at a meeting of scien
tists at the National Zoological Park
here ami of the saving of the life of
Prof. Maurice Kirby Brady through
the use of a package of untiveiiiii, a
new snakebite serum, was unfolded
today when Prof. Kirby returned to
the university fully recovered from
the bite of u European sand viper.
A meeting of the Vivareaum Society
was held on last Thursday night at
the headquarters of Dr. William M.
Mann, primarily for a discussion of
antiveniii, the first shipment of which
had just been received in Washington.
Tlie society was told of the develop
ment of the serum in Brazil for use
as an antitoxin against the bite of
the poisonous snakes indigenous to
that country and of its successful use
in Texas.
There were about twenty-five mem
, b£fs preaept, men and women. When ,
the lecture was completed one of the
members brought out a crate to dis
play the first European sand vipers
received here. It had been shipped,
from Dalmatia. Wlieu he opened the
bag one of the vijiers popped out.
There was immediate consternation, as
the snake, which is of a very poison
ous variety, flashed under chairs and
about tiie room.
The owner appearing to have no
ambition to recover the creature. Prof.
Brady, who occupies the chair of
herpitology and biology at George
Washington, volunteered to make the
capture. He had n pair of forceps
with which snakes are usually han
dled by those who get familiar with
them. It is customary, however, to
pad the forceps with raw cotton so
that the snake cun not strike through
or wriggle away.
Prof. Brady grubbed some paper
and getting the viper in a corner
seized him witli the forceps. The 1
viper wriggled and pulled himself
sufficiently to strike viciously into the
index finger of the scientist's left
hand. Several women screamed when
they saw the viper strike.
X’rof. Brady returned him to the
bag and reached quickly for a tube
of the new serum. It was in sterilized
containers. He started to give himself
nil injection on the spot and it requir- .
ed some disrobing—to the further con
sternation of the women members.
He was persuaded to have the injec
tion made by a doctor and he was
rushed to the office of his family
physician. Dr. Elliott Campbell, who
made the injection into the intraven
ous muscles of the right side of the
stomach.
The next day Prof. Brady had a
fever of 103 and waN severely ill. It
I was not known whether it was from
the bite or the serum.
On Saturday the fevor broke and
he recovered rapidly. The injection
I was given on a chance, as it was not
. known whether it would be effective
I against the bite of a European snake.
1 The meeting of herpitologists, biolo
gist, immunologists and students of
public health was adjourned rather
summarily. Prof. Brady is the son
of Major Edward ,1. Brady, army re

Frederick Will Be Honored.
Gastonia, June 23.—The DeMolay
Legion of Honor, the highest recogni
tion for service, will be conferred upon
John N. Frederick, of Gastonia, at
the DeMolay State Conclave to be
; held in High Point on July 4-5.
Frederick is the first and only De-
Molay in North Carolina to ibe de

this state. He was a representative
[ DeMolay at the DeMolay Leader's
Training Camp in the Ozark Moun
tains recently and is now chaplain

Lansing, Kalis, June 23.—(/P)
Oafs issued as ration for mules today
constituted the only fowl known to
b« available to 328 convicts and their
fourteen captive guards barricaded in
the prison coal mine here since 11
o'clock Tuesday morning.
As the mutineers passed their 45th
hour underground there was nothing ;
to indicate they wish to withdraw
their ultimatum "No cigarettes, no
coal."
Prison authorities said the noon
meal sent down the 720-foot shaft
shortly before the strikers blocked the
cage would have been exhausted last
night at the latest. This would leave
only thirty bushels of oats intended
for the seventeen mules used in the
mines. The possibility that the men
would butcher the mule's as they
threatened during a previous mutiny,
was scouted by Deputy Warden It. H.
Hudspeth, in charge.
A telephone call from a spokesman
for the strikers last night requested
that the wives of the captive guards
be allowed to talk to their husbands
was the last word heard from the
mine. When this was refused, nego
tiations ceased.
Hudspeth said today that any furth
er negotiations would have to be start
ed by the convicts as lie was willing
to allow the "hunger cure” to con
tinue.

Giant Coffee Pot City’s First Sign.
Winston-Salem, June 23.—Standing
at a busy corner as one of the land
marks of old Salem, is a gigantic tin
coffee pot. capable if filled of supplying
probably half the city's present popula
witli its mutational blend.
Many fantastic stories concerning
the coffee pot's origin have surround- i
ed it with a mysterious glamour. But 1
its chief claim to fame lies in the
fact it wits, perhaps, the first piece
of direct advertising in this section.
The imt was erected in 1858 iby
Julius Mickey, tinsmith of the little
Moravian colony of Salem, the first
man ever to sell cooking stoves in this
part of the Oarolinas.
One story has it that it was built
to shelter soldiers during the Civil
war. A trap door in its bottom lends
color to this opinion, and ready access
to small boys who have climbed in
it to startle with strange noises elder
ly ladies and gentlemen on their way
to church.
